The Razer Edge 5G is the latest iteration of mobile gaming and takes it one step further by allowing games to play outside of WiFi range with Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband Network.
We were so excited to learn more that we sat down with Kelsey Peterson, the gaming lead on the product marketing team at Verizon. One of the biggest takeaways from speaking with her is the Razer Edge 5G is made by gamers, for gamers. And at the same time, it’s not just limited to gaming. They wanted to elevate the mobile gaming space with a custom-built, next level tablet that would change the way you think about mobile gaming. Let’s get into it.
First thing to keep in mind: it’s not a mobile phone or an e-reader. It’s a tablet built like a PC for gaming...

Resident Evil 4 walks the line between horror and comedy, but one of the original's most memorable campy lines almost didn't make it into this year's remake.
The line in question comes in the game's introduction. Shortly after stumbling upon Resident Evil 4's village area for the first time, Leon S. Kennedy is faced with an overwhelming amount of enemies. But as Resident Evil 4 fans know, when the church bells start to ring, the villagers stop attacking Leon and make their way to the church. Leon then says, "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" And the title card appears.
It turns out this iconic moment was almost cut from RE4 Remake. In an interview with IGN, Leon S. Kennedy voice actor Nick Apostolides revealed what happened during...
CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has rolled out new high end ray-tracing features for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077, courtesy of the newly released Ray Tracing: Overdrive mode introduced in Patch 1.62.
The new PC exclusive features are geared towards high-end rigs, and will bring a “fully ray-traced, aka path-traced, rendering mode to the game”, according to a new post on the Cyberpunk 2077 website.
The developer states that the technology is capable of accurately simulating light throughout any given scene, taking into account the characteristics of emissions from an unlimited number of sources to create faithful shadows, reflections, and global illuminations.
As a result, the full set of new features are extremely GPU-intensive, and...
Last month, I finally got to play an extended chunk of The Last Worker, a game I’ve written a little bit about before. Specifically, in my Gamescom preview, I was drawn to the ways in which its dystopian Amazon warehouse environment both amused and unsettled me. You should read that if you haven’t yet because all my feelings about it then still hold true. But having now gotten to grapple with the game in full, I’ve stumbled upon another way in which The Last Worker clearly wants to break my brain: it’s putting me at odds with my own relationship with both work and play.
In The Last Worker’s first “act” of sorts, you’re playing a man named Kurt who works at Jüngle, the fictional world’s most profitable company that produces and...
A Persona 3 Remake could be on the way based on new reports as well as what may be leaked footage.
A sizzle reel appeared to leak over the weekend containing footage of remakes for both Jet Set Radio and Persona 3. Gematsu subsequently reported that a Persona 3 Remake is indeed in development, though it couldn't corroborate the footage.
Adding further fuel to these reports, a Twitter user spotted a potential name in p3re.jp, which was registered back in March. The domain name is registered to the same provider as the Persona 5 Royal website.
A Persona 3 remake has been hotly desired by fans over the years. Both of the main versions -- the first one released on PlayStation 2, the second on PSP -- are widely considered imperfect due...
Tango Gameworks' latest update for Hi-Fi Rush adds several additional quality-of-life features, including accessibility options for parrying and a collectible counter for each stage.
The first of the accessibility options, 2D Rhythm Game Assist, provides a wider window of success for timed inputs during Rhythm Games. These appear in places where the player has to activate Data nodes and can be tricky for some players to nail 100%. With this new assist turned on, even if players miss inputs, they will still be able to complete the Rhythm Game as long as they still hit 70% of the correct inputs.
The other accessibility option is the Auto Rhythm Parry, where players can press and hold down the button for the first action in a forced...
Tekken 8’s game director, Katsuhiro Harada, has confirmed that crossplay and rollback netcode will be supported by the upcoming fighting game.
Talking to fans on Twitter, Harada explained that both features will be present and correct. “Crossplay? Of course I will,” he said to one fan, while confirming to another that “Already installed [rollback netcode], and it already has what you want."
In regards to crossplay, Harada said that he actually the feature around the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One generation, but that the platform holders had prevented it being implemented.
“When the previous generation consoles were released, I had already proposed crossplay between the two platformers,” he said. “However, at that time, they were...
The snowball of games delayed out of 2021 and 2022 has settled in 2023, coalescing into the most exciting games lineup of the decade so far. 2023, arguably, marks the proper start of the PS5 and Xbox Series X generation with Unreal Engine 5 support building and an increasing number of developers dropping support for last-gen hardware.
Each of the three console manufacturers has at least one blockbuster release scheduled this year — Starfield for Xbox, Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo — complemented by a generation-best third-party lineup that includes Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Assassin’s Creed Mirage...

HoYoverse has found a new voice actor for Tighnari ahead of Genshin Impact's Version 3.6 update.
The Chinese game developer announced in a blog post on Sunday night that Tighnari's English voice actor would be updated in the upcoming patch.
Fans are currently speculating that the new voice actor will be Zachary Gordon, based on allegedly leaked audio shared on Twitter. Gordon is notable for playing Greg Heffley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid films and voicing Hayner in Kingdom Hearts 3. However, HoYoverse has not yet confirmed the rumors that Gordon is the new voice actor for the Dendro character.
The news of HoYoverse officially recasting Tighnari comes two months after the original English voice actor Elliot Gindi was fired due to...
Studio Wildcard has announced that it will be scrapping the Ark: Survival Ascended bundle following backlash from fans.
The developer explained in a community blog post published on Steam last Friday that it has backpedaled on the decision to bundle Survival Ascended with Ark 2, which recently got delayed to 2024:
"Our intention behind this was to provide a package where you essentially got two products for the price of one. In hindsight, not the best move," the studio wrote. "Our bad; we recognize how combining Ark Survival Ascended with Ark 2 and requiring further DLC upgrades wasn’t optimal, especially since you wouldn’t be able to judge Ark 2 as no gameplay or content would be available yet."
Because of the fan feedback Studio...
The Diablo 4 open beta period has ended, and players were given a taste of what they can expect in the full release of the game. While Blizzard has been sharing more information about certain systems through periodic developer livestreams and videos, not much has been revealed about the end-game, if certain game modes will be making a return, or even whether certain features from previous games will return to help add more depth to general gameplay and character builds.
Here are some things we would like to see potentially make a return in Diablo 4.
Adventure Mode
Adventure Mode was an optional game mode available in Diablo 3. This mode allowed players to skip the story and dive right into the action and tackle different quests set...
Each of the characters starring in Arkane Studio's Redfall has a unique set of talents, whether they were invented, came with the job, or in Jacob's case, were bestowed mysteriously by a vampire. In the exclusive character trailer above we learn more about Jacob's background and how he gained his supernatural powers.
Jacob is an experienced sniper and uses his new abilities in combination with the skills he had prior to arriving at Redfall in his kit. Check out what he's got available to him to fight off former co-workers and vampires below:
Power 1: Raven – Command your raven to fly forward and mark enemies.
Power 2: Cloak – Activate Jacob’s stolen Bellwether Cloak to hide from enemies.
Ultimate Ability: Heartstopper – Summon a...
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen has revealed Coruscant to be one of the planets featured in the sequel, though it may not be a fully explorable open world area.
Sharing the news at Star Wars Celebration, not long before he released the final gameplay trailer for Jedi: Survivor, Asmussen confirmed Coruscant was in the game.
"We're taking our Metroidvania approach a step further and, just to talk about another planet, we're going to have Coruscant as well," he said. "I think there's been a lot of speculation on that, and [I'm] just confirming it here."
Though Asmussen did talk about Coruscant in a conversation about the larger explorable areas included in Jedi: Survivor, EA's Star Wars communications lead Andy McNamara...
Star Wars: Jedi Survivor has received its final trailer ahead of its launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC later this month.
Showing of a ton of gameplay footage alongside some new story cutscenes, set against an ominous yet hopeful monologue, the trailer was released during Star Wars Celebration 2023.
Cal Kestis is the main focus, and we see gameplay of him in a bunch of different fights. These include against Stormtroopers, Destroyer Droids from the prequel trilogy, and even a Rancor. We also see one gnarly scene where Cal throws a Scout trooper from a speeder straight into a TIE fighter.
Fans will get to experience all this for themselves when Jedi: Survivor launches on April 28, but those on PC will need to make space...
It’s hard to talk about modern video games without mentioning the influence of Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar’s iconic crime franchise has grown from a controversial PlayStation 1 classic to a universally recognised cultural behemoth, with its most recent entry, Grand Theft Auto 5, becoming the third best-selling game of all time.
However, the series didn’t grow into a landmark success overnight. Rockstar has been slowly building its iconic crime series for over two decades, creating hyper-immersive open worlds that players explore for years after their release. With over sixteen Grand Theft Auto games dropping since the franchise began in 1997, new players are probably wondering where to start. To help you get stuck in, we’ve listed...
When it comes to PC games, Steam is the biggest name in the business. Now that the Steam Deck has continued to grow in popularity, more and more people are logging on to Steam every day to play. Because of this, Steam is one of the greatest sources of information about what PC gamers are actually playing at any given time.
Steam offers interesting data on the top selling and top played games on the platform week to week, but if you're wondering what were the most-played games last month, we've got you covered. Here are the top 10 most-played Steam games of March 2023, based on total players.
1. Counter Strike: Global Offensive

Joseph Staten, head of creative on Halo Infinite and cinematic director on the first three Halo games, is leaving Microsoft, the company has confirmed to IGN.
In its message, Microsoft did not say where Staten was headed next, nor the reason he was leaving Microsoft after nine years.
“We’re grateful for Joseph’s contributions to the Halo franchise and Xbox as a whole," the statement from a Microsoft spokesperson reads. "We wish him all the best in his new adventure.”
Staten has long been one of the best-known names behind the Halo franchise, having been cinematic director on Combat Evolved, Halo 2, and Halo 3, and having served as lead writer on Destiny while with Bungie.
He eventually left Bungie for Microsoft and served as a...
Lifeweaver is the latest hero coming to Overwatch in Season 4 dropping April 11th. As his name alludes to, Lifeweaver is the newest Support hero addition. Finally, another support. Here’s everything you need to know about Lifeweaver’s kit before Overwatch Season 4 launches.
Lifeweaver is definitely more of a utility based healer. He isn’t the strongest healer on the roster, especially since his big burst of healing takes a few seconds to charge up, but his actual abilities are his strongest suit that will aid his team in winning big fights.
Weapons:
Healing Blossom: Hold to charge a healing burst of 65 or you can fire individual bursts for minimum healing if you need the speedy recovery.
Thorn Volley: Switch to an alternate fire...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection has sold more than 1 million copies, Konami announced today, an impressive feat in light of it being a retro collection comprised of older games from the 8 and 16-bit era.
Konami revealed the news in a cheeky infographic that also that revealed that six million pizzas were eaten and 350 million foot soldiers defeated.
"We're thrilled and a little shell-shocked at this morning's fantastic news!" Digital Eclipse said in a tweet. "Thank you to Konami and Nickelodeon for the opportunity to make [Cowabunga Collection], but most of all, thank you the intensely loyal TMNT fans who loudly supported this project!"
The Cowabunga Collection's strong sales can be chalked up to the...
Resident Evil 4 remake has now sold over 4 million copies worldwide, Capcom announced today. This comes after Capcom previously revealed last month that the game sold over 3 million copies within its first two days of release.
“In addition to Resident Evil 4 garnering interest and attention from the release of the Chainsaw Demo prior to launch, sales of the title grew steadily following a highly positive reception from customers, driving worldwide sales over 4 million units,” Capcom said in a statement.
According Alex Aniel, writer of Itchy Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 4 Remake is the second fastest selling Resident Evil in history. He said he expects it to overtake Resident Evil 6, which didn't hit 5...
Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the most beloved eras in the extended universe, but it has been left largely untouched by Disney's movies and television shows. That may be about to change, though, if a timeline shown during Star Wars Celebration is anything to go by.
Shortly before announcing several new Star Wars movies, LucasFilm studio head Kathleen Kennedy took the stage to share her vision for what Star Wars will look like in theaters. That means "broadening the timeline," Kennedy says, as an image appeared highlighting seven major eras. They include:
The Old Republic: The era first depicted in BioWare's Knights of the Old Republic series. It remains a fan-favorite era, but it has been rarely acknowledged by Disney until...
In a week full of Nintendo-related films, Cardy, Dale, and Mat are here to help you decide which is more worthy of your time between The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Tetris. Before that, though, excitement is in the air following our latest look at the Barbie movie, plus there's Resident Evil 4 chat again, but for a special reason this time. Dale had the pleasure of chatting to Leon Kennedy himself Nick Apostolides about what it was like to play the protagonist in a remake of his favourite game.

Planned for release tomorrow, April 7, some players in Korea are reporting that they're able to access the remake of Resident Evil 4's Mercenary Mode early. Unfortunately, some are also saying that the mode is missing key content at the moment.
A staple of the Resident Evil games, Mercenary Mode is an arcade-style horde mode where players fight against waves of infected to compete for high scores. The original Resident Evil 4 allowed players to unlock Mercenary Mode upon completion of its campaign, but the remake has taken a different strategy, as Capcom announced the mode would be making its debut tomorrow, April 7, instead.
Players have noted that the version available to those in the previously mentioned regions is missing Ada...
Guilty Gear series creator, Daisuke Ishiwatari, is a legend in the world of Fighting Games. He's designed some of the most memorable fighting game characters ever, written some of the best fighting game music of all time, and has been active in the scene since the late 90s. Which was why at the Arc World Tour Finals, when presented with the opportunity to pick his brain in an interview, I leapt at the opportunity.
IGN: It's been almost two years since the release of Guilty Gear Strive. Reflecting back, what is something that you're especially proud of with the game? And on the flip side of that, what's something that you kind of wish that you could have done differently or maybe better?
Ishiwatari-san: I could say a lot of things on...

Katie - MiniKitty, Sonic the Hedgehog's social media manager, took to Twitter to share the news, saying, "Over 1,000,000 of you have grabbed The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog and it's currently the #61 highest rated game on Steam of ALL TIME. Absolutely unreal. Thank you all so, so much."

With FIFA now firmly in the rearview mirror, Electronic Arts has revealed the logo for EA Sports FC, which it hopes will be able to continue the series' incredible run of success dating back to the '90s
At the first blush, the logo is extremely, well, pointy, with a surfeit of sharp angles more reminiscent of a racing brand than a soccer game. Here's what EA had to say about the new logo:
If you want a fuller breakdown of the new logo's design, as well as a picture of it on a flag, you can find a lengthy explanation right here.
The beginning of a new era
The new logo comes just about a year after the original news that EA's multi-decade partnership with FIFA was coming to an end and that the series was being rebranded. EA CEO...
Hey Unlocked listeners and readers, Stella Chung here again today to talk about how great games are! Specifically, I want to talk about how great remakes are in this current game market. I recently started playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time, thanks to the remake, and I posted about it on Twitter and got a callous reply about why I missed playing one of the greatest games of all time and what other games I didn’t play.
Growing up, we were extremely frugal. We immigrated to the States when I was a baby and we were very poor so we didn’t have a lot of disposable income to enjoy games. When we did stabilize financially I wasn’t allowed to play games since my parents really wanted me to focus on other “productive” extracurricular...
Last summer, I tweeted an observation that surprised me from the Xbox & Bethesda Game Showcase and a handful of follow-up Xbox events: a slate of diverse games, many made by diverse creators, presented and marketed on a stream to millions of viewers by diverse presenters, all under the slogan of “Gaming for Everyone.” I realized it felt different from the Xbox I remembered from my childhood. Different in a very good way.
My tweet got picked up at the time by GamesIndustry.biz and inspired an interesting history lesson on the shifting of Xbox’s messaging over the years. You can read their writeup for the full rundown, but in summary: Xbox’s brand identity used to be quite literally “edgy.” It was focused on “hardcore” gamers, its...
