Fall Guys, the platform battle royale game developed by Mediatonic and published by Devolver Digital, may try to revive a scrapped level concept due to the popularity of Squid Game.
During an interview with Techradar, lead game designer Joe Walsh spoke about the difficulty the team faces in coming up with new concepts for the game and how many level ideas end up being scrapped compared to those that make the cut. During the segment, Walsh talked about one discarded concept that the team may actually revive, based upon the immense popularity of Netflix's South Korean survival drama, Squid Game.
"Oh, yeah, there's definitely a lot," Walsh said about the number of levels that don't make it into the game. "One of the ones that's come up...

The existing versions of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be removed from digital storefronts today, and many fans are conflicted about the move.
As announced when GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition was revealed, Rockstar is delisting older versions across all digital stores today, October 11. The developer hasn't explained its exact reasoning for the move. At time of writing, the original games are still available on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, but it's not clear for how long. We've contacted Rockstar to find out if there's a specific time the games will be removed from sale.
The decision to remove the original games has sparked a lot of discussion, particularly around the...
It’s really only a few weeks until Forza fans will be set loose in Forza Horizon 5 and its slice of Mexico presented in Playground Games’ typical style: a picturesque and idyllic driving paradise. But with the full game just around the corner, Playground has given us an early hands-on of roughly the first 90 minutes of Forza Horizon 5.
That’s certainly only a brief snapshot in the context of a Horizon game I’m likely to spend hundreds of hours playing, but it’s definitely enough to get an early taste of some of the campaign and a first sense of some of the other improvements Playground has been promising.
After close to three years of playing Forza Horizon 4 virtually every single week, collecting every new car and trialling every...
Turtle Rock Studios, the developer behind Back 4 Blood, has acknowledged community frustration around the game's lack of progression in solo mode and is looking at ways to make it more rewarding.
As spotted by Eurogamer, the developer thanked fans on Twitter regarding their feedback on solo mode before explaining that it is looking at different ways to remedy the community's concerns.
"We have heard your frustrations about progression in solo mode and are discussing ways to address the issue," said Turtle Rock Studios. "Thank you for your patience and feedback at this time - we'll have more news as we strategize on potential ways to make it happen."
Complaints about Back 4 Blood's solo mode were exemplified in a thread on the...
Amazon has delayed the server transfer feature in New World due to some "edge cases where the transfer experience does not meet our standards for its release." Furthermore, it has said that there will be no server transfers between regions despite previously saying it would be allowed.
Community Manager TervzorFTW shared the news on New World's official forums and said the team needs "some extra time to get these issues resolved before we feel comfortable giving everyone their free server transfer token."
For those unaware, every account will get one free server transfer token that will let them pick a new server in their selected region. However, the "team will continue monitoring world populations, queue times, and will evaluate...
Schooling has resumed, and this represents a rare opportunity for the savvy among you. A ton of discounts on HDDs, SSDs and MicroSDs will let you make noises about needing to "grab some extra space for your work/school PC," while the going's good. Then, when term 4 wraps in no time, redistribute that sweet, sweet storage into your gaming device instead. Diabolical.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has become the first game in the series to ship over ten million copies, Capcom confirms.
As announced in a press release, Capcom says that Resident Evil 7 has set new milestones for the company as it becomes the first game in the series to ship over ten million units globally. It's worth pointing out that shipped copies are those sent to retailers, as opposed to sold copies, which have been bought by players.
According to the studio, the game's impressive figures have largely been down to the "promotion of digital sales" and "synergies" with the series' latest installment, Resident Evil: Village, which launched in May.
The latest news from the studio comes after a string of successes for the series. In...
After many, many leaks, Rockstar Games has officially announced the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, comprising Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. The updated games will be released for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via the Rockstar Games Launcher) "later this year". Mobile ports will follow next year.
All three games "will feature across-the-board upgrades including graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements for all three titles, while still maintaining the classic look and feel of the originals." More details will follow in the coming weeks. Rockstar has not yet confirmed if the games will be released as a single package, as individual titles, or both...

Staff from Rocksteady Games are tweeting artwork from Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, which features detailed renders of each of the game's leading characters.
The art is set to be released individually throughout the day, but began started with an image of Deadshot, posted by Rocksteady's marketing manager, Gaz Deaves. "Here's the Man Who Never Misses," he said. "Check out that disappointed dad energy."
That was followed up by Rocksteady's new take on Harley Quinn, posted by associate producer Holly Gordon. "IT'S HARLEY QUINN, BABY!," Gordon wrote. "I'm so excited to share this fierce image of Harley and can't wait for you all to meet our badass and headstrong QUEEN in SSKTJL!"

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have added the option to pay for XP and resource collection boosts using real money in Marvel's Avengers. The move has been slated by many fans who believe it offers a stark contrast to previous statements made surrounding the game's monetization tactics.
Marvel's Avengers' recent addition to Xbox Game Pass is likely to have brought a range of new players to the game. For pre-existing fans, however, news of the game's move to the new platform was shortly followed by the more troubling reality that its in-game marketplace now offers players the option to purchase boost-based 'consumables' using credits that can only be acquired through spending real money.
As reported by VGC, the game's new...
Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal have revealed the full licensed track list for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which will go down well with any 80s and GTA: Vice City fan.
The soundtrack features 28 certified bangers from the 1980s, plus two original songs by “Star-Lord Band”, a fictional rock group from which the game's version of Star-Lord takes his name. The full track list can be seen below, as well as listened to on a variety of streaming services.
Additionally, Eidos-Montréal has also created two music videos for Star-Lord Band, with an 80s cartoons-inspired video for the single Zero to Hero, as well as a VHS-style video of Star-Lord Band performing the song on stage.
The full soundtrack is as follows:

Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi has confirmed that he will be leaving both Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and SEGA. As part of the restructuring announcement, RGG Studio also confirmed it is currently working on a sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
This news from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Nagoshi follows a report that said Chinese developer and publisher NetEase was in "final negotiations" with Nagoshi to hire him away from SEGA, the company he has been with since 1989.
Nagoshi, in a statement, didn't reveal what his next move was, but he did confirm that he was leaving SEGA and RGG Studio.
"As I depart from SEGA, I’m also leaving my position as the head of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio," Nagoshi wrote. "Thank you to the fans who have supported...

The idea of a Super Smash Bros.-style platform fighter that brings together some of Nickelodeon’s most beloved cartoons across multiple generations is one that just makes so much sense, and it’s kind of a wonder that it’s taken this long for something like Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl to come around. But despite Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl’s clear inspirations, developer Ludosity has made a notable effort to differentiate its mechanics and the overall flow of combat from Smash Bros., resulting in a fighter that is way faster than any Smash game has been since Melee in 2001. This puts All-Star Brawl in a great spot as an alternative to Smash Ultimate that’s available on practically every platform – but its subpar use of its wealth of source...
The first Shenmue: The Animation trailer is officially here, offering a glimpse of how the pioneering Dreamcast series translates to anime. As expected, it's filled with a lot of solid kung fu action, which should please long-time fans of the series.
You can check out the trailer below, which went up shortly after the conclusion of the Shenmue: The Animation panel that took place during New York Comic Con 2021.
The panel featured series creator Yu Suzuki as well as director Chikara Sakurai and producer Yu Kiyozono. Along with Sola Entertainment producer Joseph Chou, they discussed how the anime will adapt the game's sprawling story and its unique world.
Talking about Shenmue's legacy, Suzuki said that Shenmue's story is "so grand...
Bungie has announced that the Destiny 2 Forsaken campaign will enter the Destiny Content Vault early next year.
Players can still access the content until February 22, at which point the campaign as well as the Tangled Shore desination will leave the game. This is the same day as the launch of Year 5 of Destiny 2, which includes The Witch Queen expansion. Bungie says Forsaken's departure also makes way for new features including weapon crafting, a Legendary difficulty campaign option, a new weapon type, and more.
If you haven't played the Forsaken campaign, it will be available for free to all Destiny players beginning on December 7.
Bungie created the Destiny Content Vault last year as a way to begin recycling content from Destiny...

Activision Blizzard is currently facing serious ongoing allegations of harassment and mistreatment of marginalized workers. To learn more, please visit our timeline as well as our in-depth report on the subject.
Joe Shely, who has worked on World of Warcraft and DIablo 3, has taken over as director of Diablo 4. In today's Diablo 4 quarterly update, Shely said he is honored to continue the vision of the next Diablo as its director.
The previous director, Luis Barriga, was let go from Activision Blizzard in August amid allegations of harassment and abuse within Blizzard. Barriga had been with Blizzard since 2006, and was let go alongside level designer Jesse McCree and WoW designer Jonatan LeCraft. In today's post, Shely briefly...
Koichi Sugiyama, the composer who defined a generation of RPGs with his music but was also known for his controversial views on LGBTQ+ people and Japan's action in World War II, has died. He was 90 years old.
Like Nobuo Uematsu and a handful of other pioneering composers, Koichi Sugiyama helped define music on the Famicom in the mid-1980s. Known primarily for his work on Dragon Quest, he started as a director at Fuji TV and later worked on projects including Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: The Movie.
Sugiyama joined Enix after sending the studio a postcard expressing his appreciation for a PC shogi game they had created. His work on the first Dragon Quest was considered revolutionary for the time. In a look back on the series, 1UP...
After months of confidence from the Battlefield development team on Easy Anti-Cheat, images and videos have already started to circulate online of hacking during the Battlefield 2042 Beta.
Although the hacks are not as sophisticated as those that struck the Call of Duty: Vanguard Beta a couple of weeks ago, footage online shows wallhacks, aimbot, and several other cheats.
So far, we’ve identified three individual cheat providers providing cheats for Battlefield 2042. One cheat provider from China offers their cheats for just $2 per day, giving cheaters the opportunity to cheat during the whole Battlefield 2042 Beta for just $8. There are a few silver linings in the hacker problem though.
I spoke with content creator MavriqGG, who...
Eidos Montreal, the Square Enix-owned studio that developed Deus Ex: Human Revolution and is working on the Guardians of the Galaxy game, is switching to a four-day work week. The change also applies to Eidos-Sherbrooke, Eidos Montreal's support studio.
The studio announced the change in a blog post, where Head of Studio David Anfossi said the move will help create a sustainable work environment.
"The idea is not to condense the working hours into 4 days, but rather to review our ways of doing things and our quality time invested, with the aim of working better," Anfossi said. "Above all, we want to increase the productivity and well-being of our employees."
The four-day, 32 hour work week will not impact any employee's salaries...
The Assassin’s Creed franchise has spanned the globe since it debuted in 2007, and entries have taken players from Renaissance Italy to Ancient Greece to the American Revolution. Along the way, the series has changed dramatically, from sequels that made good on the promise of past entries to entirely new takes on character progression.
So which games are the best out of Ubisoft’s long-running series? IGN’s biggest Assassin’s Creed fans came together to agree, argue, and eventually cull together our favorites. It’s worth noting this list pulls from the mainline Assassin’s Creed series of console releases, so no mobile or handheld entries were considered as they vary greatly in scope and design.
Without further ado, here are our top 10...
On this week's episode of IGN's PlayStation show, Podcast Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Brian Altano and Matt Kim to discuss all the latest in the world of PlayStation, including the PS5 game trials being tested in the UK and how we'd like to see it expand, the continuous leaks for a GTA Trilogy remaster release (which we aren't expecting to be GTA remakes), and what we'd like to see from GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas' collective return on PS4 and PS5, plus the rumors that Konami is looking at major revivals for Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill. We discuss what we want from new Konami games, how new Castlevania's could learn from classics like Aria of Sorrow, the potential for an MGS 3 remake...
The beta for Battlefield 2042 has already kicked off for EA play members and pre-order customers. However, according to its developer, DICE, the build that it's running on is an older version of the game that's already a few months old.
As spotted by VGC, one of EA's lead community managers recently tweeted about the build that players are currently experiencing during 2042's open beta.
"Our Open Beta is now a few months old," reads the tweet. "We polish and enhance it to make sure that it's representative of the game we've built, but naturally we're making daily improvements, changes, and enhancements all the time."
While the studio continues to learn and receive feedback across its open beta period, DICE general manager Oskar...

Raven Software has confirmed that Warzone's sixth season will be the last set on the existing Verdansk map, as the game looks ahead toward the release of its brand new Pacific-based map.
Season 6 has brought a number of changes to Warzone's current map, Verdansk – including WW2 bunkers that presage the introduction of Call of Duty: Vanguard later this year. As shared in a tweet by CharlieIntel (below), Raven Software has confirmed that this will be the last time Verdansk is used before it is set to be removed from the game...
eFootball – Konami’s rebrand of the long-running Pro Evolution Soccer series – could have signaled a bright new beginning for football games. Shifting to the more modern Unreal Engine 4 and ditching annual full-priced games for a free-to-play model with promises of sizeable content additions and a “pay for what you want” structure felt like steps in the right direction, moving away from the frustrations that come with annualised sports games. Instead, it’s hard to think of a rockier start to life it could have had. Launching as essentially a demo with very limited modes, stuttering gameplay, laughable crowd models, and more than a few bugs and glitches, it’s very hard to recommend eFootball in its current form. So I won’t. All we can do...
