The Driver series will be produced by Ubisoft Film & Television's Vincent Talenti and Allan Ungar, who directed and co-wrote the Uncharted live-action fan film that took the internet by storm upon its release in 2018. Driver's executive producers also hail from...

Techland, the developer behind Dying Light 2, has announced an update on the development process for the game – which has been delayed until February 4, 2022.
The studio shared a statement surrounding Dying Light 2: Stay Human on the game's official Twitter account and pointed toward the ambitious nature of the project as one of the main reasons for its delay.
"The team is steadily progressing with the production and the game is nearing the finish line," said Techland CEO Pawel Marchewka. "It is by far the biggest and the most ambitious project we've ever done. Unfortunately, we've realized for us to bring the game to the level we envision, we need more time to polish and optimize it," he continued before announcing that the team had...
Microsoft has rolled out a new update for the PC Xbox app, allowing Windows 10 PC owners to stream console games from either your Xbox console or through Xbox Cloud Gaming (aka xCloud).
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in 22 countries can now use the Xbox app on Windows 10 to access xCloud. A new "Cloud Gaming" section will appear by clicking on the Game Pass tab, showcasing all the titles that support Xbox Cloud Gaming. Previously, Windows 10 PC owners had to access Xbox Cloud Gaming by going to Xbox's website through a browser, signing in, and playing the cloud gaming beta.
The new update also allows you to stream games from your Xbox Series X, Series S, or Xbox One onto your Windows 10 PC via Xbox remote play. This is the...
Norwegian video game company Funcom announced it has fully acquired the rights to Conan the Barbarian as well as other properties like Mutant Year Zero and Solomon Kane. A new, unannounced game that combines many of Robert E. Howard’s characters is now in the works as a result of this new acquisition.
In a press release, Funcom announced it has acquired Cabinet Group for an undisclosed sum, and with it, several iconic characters most notably Conan. Cabinet’s entire portfolio will be absorbed into Funcom’s subsidiary Heroic Signatures and Cabinet CEO Fredrik Malmberg will become the new president of the Heroic Signatures.
As part of the announcement, Funcom disclosed that it is “currently overseeing the development of an unannounced...
Randy Pitchford quietly announced a new Brothers in Arms game months ago and nobody seemed to notice.
As spotted by Exputer, Pitchford announced that Gearbox is working on a new entry to the Brothers in Arms series during a podcast interview with Ted Price of Insomniac Games back in April this year. While the episode of The Game Maker's Notebook originally aired back in April, news of the announcement has finally been picked up after the podcast was uploaded to YouTube this month.
While discussing the larger topic of studio announcements and how these have to be timed correctly to avoid sending fans' expectations into overdrive, Pitchford spoke about his preferred method for revealing games using the release of Borderlands 3 as an...
With brand deals for the 2010 cult classic Alan Wake long since expired, the title's upcoming remaster will not feature its predecessor's iconic product placements when it launches on October 5.
According to an article by Screen Rant, Remedy is set to strip the game of its real-world products when it releases next month. With brand deals having since expired for the title, a PR representative for Alan Wake Remastered confirmed that the remaster will be replacing its partnership-sponsored advertisements with generic in-universe branding.
Aside from its otherworldly tone and cult classic status, the original release of Alan Wake also became known (less lovingly) for its high number of brand deals. Product placement in the...

Call of Duty Vanguard sees Call of Duty returning to its roots… once again. It does that a lot. The first multiplayer beta opened up this weekend for anyone who preordered on PlayStation, and I spent a fair number of hours getting my feet wet ahead of its November 5 release date. If you, like me, have been playing the last several iterations of CoD, you will probably feel a sense of familiarity with Vanguard's multiplayer. Actually, let me rephrase that: you might feel like this is last year's Call of Duty MP with a WW2 skin. The only thing keeping me playing Vanguard instead of going back to Black Ops Cold War are a few interesting new modes.
Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Domination are back, as you’d expect. However...
Developer Red Hook Studios has revealed that Darkest Dungeon II will enter Early Access on the Epic Games Store next month. The studio announced the news today on Twitter, stating that the game will be playable via the Epic Games Store on PC starting on October 26.
When the game was first announced in 2019 with "The Howling End" announcement teaser, Red Hook revealed that six returning classes from the first Darkest Dungeon would be returning to the sequel: Grave Robber, Leper, Man-at-Arms, Plague Doctor, Highwayman, and Hellion.
Red Hook also revealed that the first game's combat system will return, but that it would be "tuned-up" for the sequel. The developers said the sequel will employ a very different metagame structure, but...
A new leak suggests that Santa Monica Studios' 2018 hit God of War is the next PlayStation exclusive to make the leap to PC.
As first spotted first on Reddit, Ighor July, a software developer recently performed a datamine of Nvidia's GeForce Now database notes several titles headed to the service, and subsequently on PC. That's because Nvidia's cloud gaming service streams PC games from storefronts like the Epic Games Store and Steam.
In particular, it notes that God of War is coming to PC via Steam with that version streamable on the cloud gaming service.
The datamine also mentions several other games, ranging from games rumored to be in the works, games that were already announced or available on PC, or games that are currently...
Fortnite is one of the most popular online games ever for young gamers. This sentiment isn’t just because of its enormous player count – Fortnite’s fluctuating daily average tends to land somewhere between 6 and 12 million players – but also because it is deeply accessible. Fortnite’s cost of entry is a new-ish phone and a decent WiFi connection.
It theoretically shouldn’t have come to anyone’s surprise that TIME Studios chose it as the platform to deliver its March Through Time project, which brought Martin Luther King, Jr’s seminal 'I Have a Dream ' speech to the battle royale game. But considering the cartoonish youthfulness we tend to associate with Fortnite, it was. Black people were especially vocal online in highlighting both...
Creative Assembly has announced that Total War: Warhammer 3 is being delayed and will now release in early 2022.
As shared in an announcement on the official Total War Twitter account, the developer acknowledged that news of a delay would undoubtedly be disappointing for fans but explained that the extra time would allow the team to avoid pushing a rushed title to market.
"With nearly a decade of development on the Total War: Warhammer trilogy behind us, it feels surreal to see its culminating chapter so close to release. While it's tempting to rush to the finish line as it comes into view, we have made the decision to give it a little more time by moving the launch window of Total War: Warhammer 3 from 2021 to early 2022," says Rob...
Carnage is joining Fortnite's Battle Pass as part of its brand new Chapter 2, Season 8, which launches today.
The addition of the Marvel villain's character skin is just one of a number of changes making their way to the Battle Royale as players set out to face a brand new threat attempting to bring about the destruction of the island.
The end of Fortnite's last season brought with it the destruction of the alien mothership in Operation Sky Fire. As a result, the cubes that powered the ship were sent tumbling down toward the ground, causing a new wave of terror to sweep the map.
Now crashlanded, Season 8 of the Battle Royale delivers further on that threat as the cubes have begun creating a range of anomalies across the map. At...
It's one thing to call a game "small," maybe referring to its length or something about its quaint aesthetics. But TOEM, a game about the joy of photography, is small in the way a snow-topped winter cabin is small, or a sleeping cat is small, or a plate of cube-shaped cheeses and nicely sliced meats is small. It's small in totality; pristine, complete, and precise. It's perfect for snuggling under a blanket on a quiet evening with a scented candle and a mug of cocoa to finish in one contented sitting.
TOEM starts with smallness in premise: a young protagonist, equipped only with a camera given to them by their mother and a pair of clogs, is now old enough to journey through their little top-down, black-and-white world to see the...
I’ve never played a game like Deathloop before. More accurately, I’ve played a lot of games that are a little bit like it – Dishonored, Hitman, Outer Wilds, and even Dark Souls among them – but never anything that fits so many interesting ideas together to create something so fascinatingly unique. Its ever-repeating day, doomed to loop until you can break it by murdering eight targets, is a playground for impactful gunplay, absorbing investigation work, satisfying experimentation, and even tense multiplayer standoffs. Developer Arkane Studios’ precise calibration of these pieces make Deathloop an intricately built clockwork machine that doesn’t so much quietly hum, but rather confidently roars.
Your eight targets, known as...

Volition has released further details about what fans can expect from the Saints Row reboot's characters and customization options – and why we've seen so little of the classic purple color scheme so far.
In an update post published to the official Saints Row website, Volition addressed a number of questions raised by the community surrounding what new characters the reboot would bring with it, what details the developer could share on how customization in the game would work, and why the trailer showed a distinct lack of Saints Row purple.
In terms of the game's new characters, Volition shared details about three upcoming Saints added to the game as well as the title's player-controlled character - the Boss. Saints Row will set out...
Deathloop is nearly upon PC and PS5 players, and I've found the sweetest deals for that swingin' '60s FPS. Not into Arkane's incredible fusion of Dishonored, Prey, Hitman and a dash of Dark Souls? Maybe you have a need for many Need For Speeds, or perhaps a handsome collection of Borderlands titles instead. I've skewed today towards "many games in one" deals, so be sure to take advantage of these bargain priced packs!

Images from Redfall, the upcoming Xbox Series X/S console exclusive from Dishonored and Deathloop developer Arkane Studios, have seemingly leaked from a playtest.
The leaked images were first seen in a now-deleted Reddit post from TheRedFall and show off some of the game's weapons and heroes alongside the Redditor describing a game that appears to be very much like Borderlands with Dishonored-style abilities. Other Redditors, like kidaXV, have reposted the images and re-wrote what was originally said.
Two of the weapons that appear in the images are titled the UV Beam M01 and Stake Launcher M02. Besides these weapons sounding like the perfect foil for vampires, they also show their descriptions and modifiers.
For example, the UV...
While EA Motive has shared a brand-new look at Dead Space Remake's USG Ishimura, it also revealed that this would be the last update for 2021.
Motive shared the news on Reddit in a post that explained a bit more about what the team is focusing on and how it is taking fans' feedback to heart.
"Everything we showed was a work in progress which means that we’ll be working on things like Isaac’s suit, the aesthetic and ambiance of the Ishimura," EA Motive's CM_Ythisens wrote. "We’re doing work to ensure it has the right level of wear and tear. For example, here is an early work in progress clip showing some of the ways that the team is going to be giving that worn look to the Ishimura."
They continued to say that the team is going to...
Rockstar Games was one of the developers that presented a game during PlayStation’s much-anticipated showcase this week. But instead of a new game, Rockstar’s announcement was for Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online coming to PlayStation 5 in 2022.
After nearly a decade of continued success and popularity, GTA’s fans are ready to move on and are letting Rockstar know it.
With a shelf life that will eventually extend across three console generations and millions of sales under its belt, folks already know about GTA 5 and still play GTA Online in droves. But since being first released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles back in 2013, fans just don’t want to hear about GTA 5 anymore.
As of this writing, the latest GTA 5...
I’ve got a long history with the Tales series. I was absolutely obsessed with Tales of Symphonia back on the GameCube, beating it at least four times, and I’ve been chasing that special kind of JRPG love for years – mostly without success. I’ve played Abyss, Graces, Hearts, and the acclaimed Vesperia, but they all felt like too much of a retread. Even Berseria, which felt like a good refresh for the series, didn’t do much for me. But Tales of Arise has finally rekindled that flame, feeling both like a brand-new game with an outstanding story and excellent combat while also making good use of the best ideas that have kept the series going for this long.
The Tales series is known for how well its stories are told, and Arise is no...
Even though a US Court today ruled that Apple was not a monopoly and did not violate antitrust laws in the Epic v. Apple suit, it didn't have kind things to say about Apple's 30% take rate on in-app purchases.
In its final order, the court goes over the numerous arguments from the case, at one point addressing the fact that Apple takes a 30% cut of all purchases occurring in apps published on its store. Though the 30% rate has been common in the game and app industries for years, in recent times platforms such as Steam, Microsoft, and Epic itself have opted to take less, while Apple has dug in its heels.
This was brought as evidence against Apple, with Epic suggesting that its hold on the market and insistence on 30% ultimately drove...
With the ruling of the Epic v. Apple trial dropping today, we got answers to some of the most pressing legal questions brought up during the proceedings. Sadly, the answer to the question, "What is a video game?" was not among them.
The fact that this was a question at all during the court proceedings may sound absurd if you're not familiar with how legal arguments work, but it turns out, agreeing on definitions of important and often common terms is necessary to make a case in court.
In Epic v. Apple, the question of "what is a video game?" came up during the first few days of court proceedings, but as noted in the court's final ruling, "no one agrees and neither side introduced evidence of any commonly accepted industry...
Ubisoft has unveiled the full Far Cry 6 post-launch plan and says that the game's roguelike villain DLC will launch its first of three episodes in November.
As shared in a press release, Ubisoft has confirmed that its Season Pass DLC content will kick off this November around a month after the game's initial release date on October 7. The Season Pass itself will include three episodic adventures in each of which, players will take the role of a different notorious Far Cry villain struggling to escape the horrors of their own minds. While the DLC's first episode, which focuses around Far Cry 3's iconic Vaas, will launch in November, episodes two (Pagan Min) and three (Joseph Seed) will launch in January and March 2022 respectively...
Dell is one of best brands we'd recommend if you're looking to get a prebuilt gaming PC. The Alienware gaming desktops offer a staggering array of options, all built into a custom chassis that's both easy on the eyes and easy on the wallet. Alienware gaming laptops have been redesigned to be thinner and lighter while still offering the same immense power under the hood. For those of you on a budget, Dell also offers its Dell G-series gaming desktops and laptops. You still get to customize it to your heart's content, but at a much lower price point. If you're not looking for a gaming rig, the XPS laptop is perfect for the road warrior, and the Inspirons are great for value-minded students. Combine all of this with readily available sales...
If longtime fans of Oxenfree have thought about jumping back into the adventure on PC before Oxenfree II's release next year, they might be surprised to find some radio transmissions they didn't find the first time around. And if you're one of those players, don't worry - you're not forgetting some key story beats or realizing you missed some important conversations. Five years after its release, Night School Studio has periodically been updating its acclaimed, original choice-driven narrative with a series of new audio teases that directly tie into the villains of Oxenfree II.
It's an ambitious gambit, but absolutely befitting of Oxenfree's paranormal, meta-story. The villains of the upcoming sequel are so powerful, or messing with...
A judge has finally ruled in the Epic vs. Apple lawsuit, issuing an injunction in Epic's favor that forces Apple to permit developers on its platform to link to outside payment options within their apps.
The injunction states that Apple is "permanently restrained and enjoined from prohibiting developers from (i) including in their apps and their metadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms, in addition to In-App Purchasing and (ii) communicating with customers through points of contact obtained voluntarily from customers through account registration within the app."
This ruling favors Epic, which brought the suit to Apple following Apple's removal of Fortnite from its App...

Gameplay from a since-lost movie tie-in for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 has seemingly resurfaced more than a decade after it was created.
Between the trailer release for the MCU's Spider-Man No Way Home and Insomniac Games announcing Spider-Man 2 at this month's PlayStation Showcase, everyone's favorite wall-crawler has taken center stage in recent weeks. However, in addition to newer editions of Spider-Man circulating the web, Obscure Gamers has leaked footage from what seems to be the game tie-in for Sam Raimi's scrapped Spider-Man 4 movie.
The footage, which was posted on Obscure Gamers YouTube channel, allegedly shows an early build copy of what could have been for Radical Entertainment's Spider-Man 4. Over eighteen minutes long...
