The arrival of a new Remedy game this year is a great excuse to jump back into some of the studio's older releases. Alan Wake 2, in particular, is one we absolutely love (our favorite horror game of 2023, actually). If you haven't added it to your library yet, this is an excellent time to do it as its PS5 Deluxe Edition has hit a new low price at Amazon of $34.96 (see it here). Head to the link below to scoop it up at this price while it's still on sale.
Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition (PS5) for $35
There's quite a lot to enjoy with this Deluxe Edition as well. Not only does it come with the main game, but you'll also get the two expansions, Night Springs and the Lake House. It also comes with cosmetics and items for both protagonists...

Bungie has outlined what to expect from Marathon upon launch, and confirmed plans for seasonal wipes that mean all players lose their gear every few months.
Seasonal updates will introduce new gameplay, including gear, Runner shells, zones, events, and more, Bungie said, and they’ll be free for all players to access or earn, so there’s no expansions or DLC required.
Each season brings a “clean slate for the whole community,” Bungie explained, with progression resets that include everyone’s gear, contract progression, faction progression, and player level.
However, players will keep their achievements and cosmetics, titles, and other rewards from reaching milestones. Your Codex progression also carries over. Elsewhere, your liaison...
Bandai Namco, the publisher behind FromSoftware titles such as Dark Souls and Elden Ring, as well as its own RPG series such as Tales, has confirmed plans to reveal a new role-playing game.
The announcement will premiere via YouTube later this week on Thursday, March 5 at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern / 11pm UK. A description for the yet-to-be revealed trailer simply states: "A serenity soon to be disturbed."
Of course, there's already speculation over what this game might be — and yes, Elden Ring 2 was one of the first suggestions (to be fair, the announcement's lettering looks somewhat similar to Elden Ring's logo). But an announcement of that magnitude seems better suited to a major announcement showcase, rather than just appearing...
The Sims 4 will introduce a brand new "Maker" program, allowing content creators to publish and sell custom mod packs on an official marketplace.
This new was announced today by Maxis, which unveiled The Sims Maker Program and Marketplace. Beginning March 5, designers can apply to join the Maker program, which will allow them to submit their work to the Marketplace when it opens on March 17. Only vetted and approved Makers will be allowed to publish and sell their creations. Makers must be 18 years old or older, be able to communicate proficiently in English, cannot reside in one of EA's embargoed regions, and must complete a technical evaluation by submitting two assets for review. Per Maxis, all submitted content will be reviewed by...

If you’ve played Helldivers 2 for any length of time, you’ll know that friendly fire can be as lethal as enemy attacks. This is the nature of Arrowhead’s unpredictable and often hilarious action game; you never know where the next explosion is coming from, and death is never far away.
But what causes the most number of friendly fire incidents? It’s something I’ve wondered about as a fan of Helldivers 2, as someone who’s laughed down my mic at my teammates as I’ve inadvertently blown them up or shredded them to pieces with a turret. Ah, the turrets! More of a menace than a help, some would say.
Arrowhead has now provided some answers via an infographic that reveals all sorts of stats for Helldivers 2’s second year of service. We see...
Scott Pilgrim EX is a game about the past. It’s a beat ‘em up revival based on a 2010 video game adaptation (which released alongside the film of the same name that year) of a graphic novel (which itself ran from 2004-2010). Put simply, Scott Pilgrim as a series is now old enough to drink, and it’s one that was already steeped in both nostalgia and dealing with the passage of time. It’s fitting then, that Scott Pilgrim EX also deals with time travel while being a damn good modern beat ‘em up in the midst of the genre’s own resurrection.
The story here is pretty simple: the setting is Toronto, 20XX. Scott’s band Sex Bob-omb is practicing for their latest show when Metal Scott, who looks like he stepped out of Mega Man X, bandnaps Sex...
Blue Prince, one of 2025's best video games, is getting a surprise launch on Nintendo Switch 2 today.
Nintendo confirmed the game's eShop shadow drop at the finale of its just-finished Indie World broadcast, capping off a spree of other announcements from smaller development teams and publishers.
Originally launched in April 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, Blue Prince is primarily the eight-year project of solo developer Tonda Ros. The game sees players assembling the blueprints of an ever-changing mansion each day, with progress slowly revealing hidden rooms, intricate mechanics and an intriguing fantasy story.
Revealing more about how the game unfolds would take away from the joy of discovering the layers to Blue...

Arachnophobia sufferers are having a tough time with Resident Evil Requiem, but there is help at hand from fellow players — as well as in the shape of a certain cheery choo choo train.
Warning: Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem follow
Requiem features a giant spider as a major boss fight in Raccoon City, and the knowledge that this sequence is in the game has spawned many, many, many different threads on reddit from Resident Evil fans who experience arachnophobia. In most cases, fans are requesting more information on how horrible the game's spider section is (it's quite horrible), while others who made it through the battle are reporting in with their experiences.
Some fans are stuck in a dilemma — they want to play the big new...

Marathon’s user interface has become one of the game’s chief talking points, with some calling it confusing, unintuitive, and cluttered. One of the criticisms has to do with the sheer number of different fonts on-screen at any one time. Bungie’s Marathon is certainly striking, visually, but some think it has too much going on for its own good, accusing it of being “fontslop.”
While Bungie has indicated it’s receptive to feedback on Marathon’s UI and will tweak it post-launch, Elliott Gray, who works on user interface design on Marathon, took to social media to double down on the ‘fontslop’ claims, jokingly describing himself as the “fontslop merchant” and using the hashtag #fontsloptakeover.
Gray also said that while Bungie will...
Capcom has removed a controversial new form of DRM from Resident Evil 4 Remake, following complaints that its recent addition was impacting performance.
An update to the game's Steam database listing shows that the Enigma DRM was removed earlier today, March 3, after an earlier listing showing its addition at the beginning of February.
Capcom has not commented publicly on the changes, though fans were quick to spot the publisher replacing the game's previous Denuvo anti-piracy protection with Enigma, and the hit to performance that followed.
It's a subject recently covered by Digital Foundry, whose tests showed a 40 percent deficit in performance within the game's intro cutscenes, though more modest differences during gameplay. In a...
Fallout fans are desperate for news on upcoming games in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic role-playing series, and it looks like a pretty solid tease has just dropped from a surprising source.
Iron Galaxy Studios, perhaps most famous for working on Xbox fighting game Killer Instinct, issued a post on social media and LinkedIn that includes a pretty obvious tease that it’s working on something Fallout related.
“Today’s our February company meeting. It’s time to catch up with what the company’s been up to and what’s coming up next for IG,” reads the post, alongside a picture of Fallout’s iconic “Please Stand By” holding image on a monitor, next to the same image in a slideshow presentation.
Specifically, the image is of Fallout New Vegas'...
Microsoft has teased the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Game Pass, via a social media post.
While over five years old at this point, CD Projekt's sci-fi blockbuster would still be a notable addition to Microsoft's subscription service. As of yet, however, there's no word on when it might be added.
In a post on social media last night, the official Xbox Game Pass account dropped numerous hints at a big addition to the service's catalog, while also dropping numerous mentions of "v" — which is, of course, the name of the game's main character.
"Something v cool is coming soon..." Microsoft teased. An attached image then shows a fictional internal email which describes "the latest upcoming addition" as "a v good one too" — with the...
Though millions of us are still busy with Resident Evil Requiem, it seems developer Capcom isn't content to leave us playing as Raccoon City's unluckiest cop for long — a presentation showing off what else the developer has in the works is set for Thursday, March 5.
Capcom Spotlight is a digital event that brings us up to date on the latest news from Capcom and the developer's upcoming releases. Set for 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm UK time), the half-hour show will be subtitled in 13 different languages.
The 30-minute digital event will update us on several upcoming Capcom games, and in particular Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Pragmata, Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fights Edition, Mega Man Starforce Legacy Collection, and...
Is Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 a live service game? It’s not normally referred to as such, despite receiving a steady stream of updates that fuel repeated multiplayer play. There are free updates, big patches, and season passes packed with new cosmetics. Space Marine 2 launched in September 2024, but it’s still going strong, and a lot of that has to do with the way developer Saber Interactive continues to update the game. But still, it’s not thought of as a live service game.
Live service has become something of a dirty word in the video game industry. It’s what the disastrous Concord was, what the ill-fated Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was, and what Highguard never got the chance to be. Space Marine 2, however, has yet...

We may now know the solution to Capcom's devious Resident Evil Requiem Final Puzzle, but a whole new mystery is just beginning for fans — one centered on Leon S. Kennedy, and a huge secret that's only hinted at in the game's closing moments.
Warning: Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem follow.
Concept artwork for Leon S. Kennedy unlocked after beating Resident Evil Requiem shows a look at the hero's hand... wearing a wedding band.
There are two versions of this artwork: one where Leon's hand is infected and ring-less, and one without the infection where a silver ring can be seen, worn on his ring finger.
Leon spends most of his time in Requiem showing signs of nasty infection — something he hides under a pair of gloves. (Even if you...
Indie games have the freedom to experiment with different genre elements to create something unique, and that’s a pretty good encapsulation of The Abbess Garden, from first-time developer MD Studio and publishing platform indie.io. Your job is to tend a garden in France in 1643, but you’ll dig up more than just plants. You’ll also discover buried objects and uncover secrets that could be dangerous in the wrong hands.
At its heart, The Abbess Garden is a cozy gardening game. Set at the abbey of Port-Royal-des-Champs, a real French historical site, you’re entrusted with caring for the Abbess’s private garden, a patch of land that nobody has been allowed to enter in years. Time has taken its toll, and you’ll need to clear it of the wild...
The cryptic Final Puzzle challenge in Resident Evil Requiem seems to have been fully solved, with video evidence of the method now circulating online.
Earlier today, Pokémon YouTuber Gengar Collects provided proof they were the first in the world to complete the Final Puzzle — but there was still confusion over how he'd done it, despite his attempts to try and help other fans.
Now, a repeatable method for finishing the puzzle has been published online — albeit only after datamining work was carried out to reveal the necessary requirements. The solution is bizarre, and there's still discussion among fans now over why exactly it works this way. But first... here's what you have to do.
Warning! Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem...
Resident Evil Requiem released last Friday, and while many players are slicing up zombies as Leon S. Kennedy and creeping around as Grace Ashcroft, players of the Japanese version have noticed something is amiss. Namely, Requiem’s censorship of gore in its home country is being criticized for being immersion breaking and uncreative compared to past games in the series.
Warning! Resident Evil Requiem spoilers follow:
With Resident Evil being one of Japan’s major survival horror series, Capcom has previously come up with creative ways to censor domestic releases to meet the strict requirements of Japan’s CERO game ratings board. As The Gamer pointed out, in Resident Evil 7’s Japanese release, Capcom replaced the decapitated head found...
The extraction shooter genre has officially exploded. For years it was synonymous with a couple of games, most notably Escape from Tarkov, but it's now more varied and beginner-friendly than ever. Arc Raiders has sucked in first-timers, and I'm tentatively excited by what I've played of Bungie's Marathon ahead of its full launch this week.
But if you've never played an extraction shooter before, the genre can seem intimidating and opaque. What does that confusing name mean? What exactly is an extraction shooter? And what are the best ones to play right now? That's what we're here to explore.
What is an Extraction Shooter?
Every extraction shooter is different, but the basic loop goes something like this: You load into a map, either...
Reliable video game leaker billbil-kun has revealed the release date and price for Starfield on PlayStation 5 ahead of an official announcement from Bethesda and Microsoft.
In a post on Deadlabs, billbil-kun said Starfield will release on PS5 on April 7, and it will indeed have a physical edition.
Assuming this release date is true (billbil-kun regularly and accurately leaks PlayStation Plus games, so we have no reason to doubt it), Bethesda’s sci-fi game launches on PlayStation two-and-a-half years after it debuted on PC and Xbox Series X and S, back in September 2023.
Billbil-kun also revealed Starfield will launch on PS5 in Standard and Premium editions, as you’d expect, but there’s no early access for the Premium edition.
As for...
Resident Evil Requiem looks like a smash hit for Capcom, with record-breaking Steam concurrent player numbers suggesting big sales. But it’s also a hit on Metacritic, where it has the joint highest user score of all time.
Requiem has a user score of 9.5 on Metacritic, which is the same score last year’s breakout hit, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has. It surged past Metal Gear Solid, The Witcher 3, and Disney Cory in the House’s 9.3 (if you did a double-take at Disney Cory in the House being up there, well… there’s a whole thing about it being on this list that is well worth checking out). Also on 9.3, perhaps more deservedly, are the original Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.
Website user review scores can be manipulated, of...
Eagle-eyed Resident Evil Requiem players have spotted Leon S. Kennedy's cell phone number — but also been left disappointed when they try to chat with the franchise's 'hot uncle' for themselves.
Rather than the gravelly tones of an experienced special agent, calling Leon's in-game number in real life simply leaves you with a message stating that "the number is not in service." There's no Easter egg here, either — no inputting a secret code to hear more. The number is, sadly, just a fake.
Fans were initially excited to see Leon's number pop up on Grace Ashcroft's phone, with a screenshot showing the caller ID generating more than 25,000 likes on X/Twitter, as a fan asked whether anyone had tried it for real. Alas, the number is...
Resident Evil Requiem players have spent the weekend trying to solve the game's cryptic Final Puzzle, and now a Pokémon fan has provided video evidence they have completed the challenge — despite being uncertain exactly how they did so.
Pokémon trading card fan Gengar Collects has posted numerous screenshots and video evidence on YouTube suggesting he has indeed finished The Final Puzzle, a labyrinthine quest that thousands of players have been trying to collectively solve since before Requiem officially launched last week.
The only problem? Even with this evidence, which really does suggest Gengar Collects has completed the challenge, fans still aren't sure exactly how to do it for themselves, as it requires the holding of an item...
An extraordinarily rare floppy disk — one of just 50 copies of Tsukihime Trial Edition ever produced — was allegedly destroyed coming through U.S. Customs.
Collector Keripo shared a video of themselves opening the demo floppy disk delivery on X/Twitter, only to discover the disk had been damaged in such a way that it could only have been deliberate. Across the original packaging tape is another labelled "Opened and Resealed By Customs." It's unclear if it was courier DHL or U.S. Customs that destroyed the disk.
"My Tsukhime Trial Edition (月姫 体験版) finally arrived, one of only 50 copies in the world," wrote Keripo on X/Twitter (thanks, Tom's Hardware). "Only to discover that U.S. Customs had removed all the bubble wrap and physically...
Highguard, the free-to-play PvP raid shooter announced at The Game Awards last year and released only for most of its developers to be laid off just weeks after launch, may have failed because it "leaned too far into the competitive scene."
That's according to former Wildlight developer and level designer Alex Graner, who told Quad Damage Podcast that developers "don't strive to create something that doesn't work out," throughout development, Wildlight "really leaned into the competitive side of it, and that was always one of my biggest fears as a player."
"I can only speak to my side of it as a level designer, but when I joined [Wildlight], it was trying to figure out this new, ambitious game, and this team is always pushing the...
