Following widespread fan complaints over copied character designs, the developer of upcoming Steam Pokémon-like Pickmon has said it is now changing the game's name — by one letter — to Pickmos.
Pickmon, or rather Pickmos, was unveiled last month to widespread criticism from Pokémon fans, who pointed out the many similarities in its roster of monsters to the likes of Pikachu, Charizard and Lucario. The game's trailer even features a hero who could be mistaken for The Legend of Zelda's Link, who glides off of a mountain top in what could be scene from Breath of the Wild.
Response to the trailer was universally negative, with many fans actively calling for Nintendo to lawyer up and sue Pickmos' developer PocketGame (not to be confused...

The Lenovo Legion Glasses 2 was released back in February 20225 at a starting price of $399.99. Today you can get it for way less: Amazon is currently offering a pair for just $249.99 with free shipping. If it sells out there, you can also get it for the same price right now at Lenovo direct.

The first new IP from Capcom since 2024’s underrated Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Pragmata looks poised to hand the prolific Japanese developer/publisher a genuine game of the year contender. Boasting breathtaking visual design, stylish sci-fi trappings, and pixel-perfect third-person shooting and hacking gameplay, Pragmata has all the right ingredients to stand as one of the finest offerings from the house that Street Fighter built in quite some time.
So, without further ado, from release date through to gameplay and story details, PC specifications, and more, here is everything you need to know about Pragmata.
Pragmata Release Date
Pragmata has been officially confirmed for a full release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games...

Major story spoilers for the upcoming James Bond game 007: First Light are reportedly circulating online, following a leak that originated from the Indonesian ratings board.
Over an hour of footage — privately submitted to the ratings board by developer IO Interactive — has now been found via the Indonesian Game Rating System (IGRS) website and shared further, VGC reports, including clips which detail the game's ending.
Much of 007: First Light's plot has been kept under wraps until now, with IO Interactive keen to keep its surprises intact until the game's release — which is still six weeks away, on May 27. Contacted by IGN today, IO Interactive declined to comment further on the matter.
007: First Light is the long-awaited next...
I mean this in the best way possible: Pragmata feels like a game straight from the Xbox 360 era. It's the kind of third-person action-shooter that hangs its hat on a specific gimmick, but then plays everything else fairly straightforward. By executing on the important parts really well, Pragmata is able to let its punchy shooting, creative hacking mechanic, and tough fights do the heavy lifting. The storytelling around that stuff isn't exactly its strong suit, even with how much it emphasizes its budding father-daughter dynamic, and I'm a little disappointed it didn't do more with what was initially an interesting space drama setup. But Pragmata is focused on the action first, and that part is so compelling and so satisfying that I...
When I played TMNT Empire City for the first time last year, I was instantly impressed by how easily being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle jived with the immersive first-person VR perspective. Dashing from rooftop-to-rooftop, scaling skyscrapers, and taking down Foot Clan ninjas in melee combat all showcase the stuff that VR is best at pulling off, and the unique charms of these goofy reptiles pair perfectly with the playfulness and whimsy in a way that only virtual reality games can do. But last year’s demo didn’t let me play beyond the tutorial, and didn’t let me take the all-important co-op mode for a spin, so I was left with a lot of questions for how this thing would feel beyond being a really neat premise. Having recently had the...
I'm not sure if we're about to enter a Renaissance of horror-themed fishing games on accident, or if there has always been something about fishing that inherently evokes suspense and even terror. Given the unknowable nature of the sea, it's probably the latter. But between Dredge, About Fishing, GONE Fishing, and now Dreadmoor, we're spoiled for solid fishing games with an excess of tentacles, teeth, and heads. And I'm here for the fishing trip.
Dreadmoor's premise immediately invokes thoughts of Dredge, a similarly Lovecraftian fishing adventure that I really enjoyed back in 2023. That's what got me through the hatch for a Dreadmoor preview at the Game Developers Conference last month. But Dreadmoor is instantly distinct. In Dredge...
Marathon fans are debating the best way to get more people into the brutally difficult and complex endgame raid, Cryo Archive, suggesting ways to help more casual players learn the high-stakes map.
Across the board, if you fail to exfil at the end of a Marathon game, you lose everything you took in with you, including your weapons and consumables. But Cryo Archive is even harder to get into, because your loadout needs to be worth at least 5,000 credits just to play.
"Give everyone the free loadout that was offered when the map launched once per week," suggested redditor timeobedlam. "It'll give players a low-risk way to engage with the content (on a very limited basis) and won't really inject that much value into the overall economy...
After a weekend in which multiple rumors and reports pointed to an internal delay of Microsoft’s Fable reboot beyond its fall 2026 release window and potentially into 2027, the official Fable social media account has stepped in to reiterate its previously announced date.
Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb said that there was concern at Microsoft about Fable potentially running up against the behemoth that is Grand Theft Auto 6, which currently has a November 19, 2026 release date.
“I’ll say that I’ve heard that Fable has been pushed internally,” Grubb said. “That doesn’t mean that it’s coming out next year. Apparently, they’re still trying to get it out this year, but they are worried about the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. And so if it’s...
EA is set to shut down servers for BioWare's beloved Dragon Age: Inquisition later this month on PlayStation 3.
A message on EA's service update website shows that Inquisition's PS3 servers will go dark on April 28, more than 11 years on from the game's 2014 arrival. However, it looks like servers will remain online (for now) on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox.
While it's sad to see any older game get its functionality depreciated, it's perhaps surprising that Inquisition's PS3 multiplayer mode lasted this long — through two console generations, and the arrival (and shutdown) of BioWare's big live-service attempt Anthem.
Multiplayer, of course, was not the main focus of Inquisition — BioWare's sprawling fantasy RPG threequel that...
The public fallout of ill-fated MMO Ashes of Creation continues, this time with an alleged full breakdown of Intrepid Studios' expenses, revealing "a troubling picture of a company that was on the threshold of financial death at multiple points in its history" and millions of dollars allegedly spent on dubious purchases.
YouTuber NefasQS claimed to have "obtained and processed the entire Intrepid Studios general ledger from 2015 to 2026," as well as corroborating documents and records that "help us finally finish most of what remains of the mystery surrounding Ashes of Creation and the implosion of Intrepid Studios."
He published the full ledger online and uploaded a video discussing some of the details, including "the interesting...
A brand new Metro game is reportedly set to be revealed this week as part of a so-far unannounced Microsoft Xbox showcase.
NateTheHate, who has a number of accurate leaks, including the correct dates of Nintendo Directs, to their name, took to social media to say the new Metro game is called Metro 2039, and it will be announced as part of a Microsoft show set for April 16. It’s unclear at this stage what type of show Microsoft has up its sleeve, or whether it will also include first-party Xbox game news. There’s also a rumor that Sony plans a State of Play showcase for this week, although that’s unconfirmed for now.
News of a new Metro game shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, given developer 4A Games has talked about working on it...
As the Invincible VS beta test winds down, players are hoping publisher Skybound Games and developer Quarter Up do something to fix its “rage quitting” problem.
The fighting game based on the comic book-turned-TV show will soon close the servers that have allowed players to try out a slice of its superhero roster since April 9. With launch still weeks away, those who signed up for the limited test are left to reflect on the battles where they may have beaten their opponents a bit too badly.
Players of varying skill levels flocked to the Invincible VS beta and quickly found that there seemed to be little penalty for those who left matches prematurely. It led to moments where Viltrumites and Guardians alike would be pummeling their foes...
Former Bethesda Softworks marketing lead Pete Hines has opened up about how he saw the Fallout publisher get "damaged and broken apart" before announcing his retirement in 2023.
The now-retired gaming industry veteran touched on why he chose to step away from Bethesda during a wide-ranging interview with Firezide Chat. When reminiscing about his decades-long journey through the release of everything from Doom to The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Hines shared his feelings about changes within the company and what ultimately drove him to leave.
Hines had previously stated that it made sense for him to retire around the launch of the long-awaited Starfield and reiterated that point in the new interview. Although moving on meant leaving...
A new weekend has arrived, and today, you can save big on the Resident Evil Generation Pack, M5 MacBook Air, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, and more. Check out our top picks for Saturday, April 11, below.
Resident Evil Generation Pack Still Available
The Resident Evil Generation Pack is still available at Amazon for $89.99, and this is one deal you do not want to miss. This collection packs in Resident Evil VII, Resident Evil Village, and Resident Evil Requiem all for $89.99, which means you are essentially paying $10 for both VII and Village. Capcom has removed this deal as of March 31 digitally, and it's only a matter of time before it's gone physically, too.
M5 MacBook Air for $949
You can score an M5 MacBook Air for...
Just a day after Pearl Abyss’ announcement of the various improvements it said were coming soon to Crimson Desert, we have a new patch that adds many of them already — and even a few changes fans hadn't expected.
The highlights of the patch, as detailed on the Crimson Desert website, are a new weapons display option, which means you can hide weapons from the back of your character (so long, shield!), the addition of skills for the secondary playable characters, which makes them more viable to play, and various user interface improvements.
But there’s a lot in the update (patch notes below) that Pearl Abyss hadn’t mentioned. For example, Pearl Abyss has improved the usability of the Greymane camp (I won’t say how exactly, to avoid...
Fortnite developer Epic Games is reportedly working on a new extraction shooter featuring Disney characters that is set to launch later this year.
A Bloomberg report states the currently unnamed spinoff is expected to launch November 2026. It, as well as the other two unnamed titles, is said to be the result of a $1.5 billion investment Disney made in the gaming giant back in 2024.
According to the site’s sources, the mystery extraction experience is said to be a shooting game not unlike Embark Studios’ Arc Raiders, which launched to impressive player numbers and wound up a massive success for the developer late last year. Those familiar with the Disney game say some at Epic are optimistic the project will stick the landing at...
Google has removed Doki Doki Literature Club from the Play Store due to what is said to be a violation of its terms of service.
Serenity Forge, the publisher behind the 2021 re-release of the beloved visual novel, published a joint statement with creator Dan Salvato regarding its sudden removal yesterday. The message says Google communicated “its depiction of sensitive themes” as the cause of its removal and points out that it remains available to purchase on other platforms, including iOS, Nintendo Switch, and the PlayStation Store.
“DDLC is widely celebrated for portraying mental health in a way that meaningfully connects deeply with players around the world, helping them feel heard, understood, and less alone on their journey,”...
Konami UK has officially revealed a brand new Steelbook for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2. There is no word on whether it will be available in other regions at this time.
Preorders are set to go live for the new Steelbook case on April 10, although no retailers currently have it listed in the UK. It is also currently unclear whether this is a separate release or part of a Steelbook Edition that will also include the base game.
IGN has reached out to Konami for clarity and comment on the above.
For now, what we do know is that the new Steelbook case, featuring "timeless artwork of Old Snake and Big Boss", will at least launch alongside Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 on August 27, 2026, for...
It's getting harder every year to fully crack Denuvo, but it's still not impossible, and now Resident Evil Requiem has been cracked by voices38 (via TheGamer).
Resident Evil Requiem has been around for about six weeks, and while pirates were technically able to get around the Denuvo DRM by running a virtual machine, or hypervisor, it was risky and complicated, requiring you to completely disable Windows security and Secure Boot. With voices38's crack, though, you just have to modify the game's .exe file, making it much safer to actually run.
In the past, Denuvo cracks came a lot faster, but the DRM has been getting harder to patch out of a game's files. These traditional cracks are still coming, but they're much slower, with last...
We’re still talking about Skyrim in 2026. While Bethesda continues (or maybe even starts) to chug along on Elder Scrolls 6, I am one of many who find themselves going back to the 2011 classic. Or, at the very least, still watching video essays about it.
Bethesda quickly caught on to the power of its own lore, releasing a series of hardcover ‘Skyrim Library’ books between 2015 and 2017. The full set of all three volumes normally costs $110, but a new Amazon deal has dropped that price by 45%, down to just $68.
Skyrim Library Drops to Lowest Price This Year
The Skyrim Library collects pretty much every single book in the game. Yes, even The Lusty Argonian Maid. The texts themselves are complemented by concept art and original...
After a long period of being out of stock online, the Resident Evil Generation Pack on Nintendo Switch 2 is available once again at Amazon (see it here).
If you’ve had your eyes on this stacked horror collection for Nintendo’s latest handheld, which was released in celebration of Resident Evil’s 30th Anniversary, it’s now available to buy at Amazon for $89.99. You’ll want to act fast to grab it, though, as who knows how much longer it will be available at the retailer.
Alongside the recently released Resident Evil Requiem - a game we said, “successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation” in our review - this pack also comes with Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition...
Hollywood actors keep bringing up a potential Red Dead Redemption movie and saying they would love to be in it. After Jack Black revealed he’d love to star in a Red Dead Redemption movie, despite the fact he doesn’t think Rockstar would ever greenlight it, Karl Urban has thrown his hat into the ring.
Urban, star of The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Boys, Dredd and so much more, even suggested the character he’d love to play: John Marston.
In an interview with Square Mile, Urban was asked if there were any other video game adaptations he’d love to star in, having played Johnny Cage in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2.
“Red Dead Redemption is one of my favourites,” he replied. “Red Dead is a fantastic game. It’s interesting because I...
It's 2026, and Jeff Kaplan, the former boss of Blizzard hero shooter Overwatch, is still being asked about a supposed "nerf" to Tracer's butt.
Cast your minds back to the simpler times of 2016, when the world was quieter and greener, and Overwatch was still in beta. Amid a frenzy of excitement for Blizzard's next big franchise, one big controversy stood out that soured some fans on the game's promise: Blizzard's decision to alter a pose focused on lead character Tracer's bottom.
Blizzard made the call back in March 2016 to adjust the Tracer's "Over the Shoulder" victory pose, after the character's somewhat suggestive positioning drew fire from players. Their critique — one that Kaplan ultimately said he agreed with — was that it...
Ever since I watched it on opening night back in 2011, I’ve always wanted to play a video game that captured the essence of Nicolas Winding Refn’s masterpiece, Drive. The absolute effortless cool of Ryan Gosling’s unnamed getaway driver has yet to be replicated in any game I’ve played. Well, until now, that is, thanks to a… hoodie-wearing, down-on-his-luck, dad-looking dude in his mid-40s named “Samson McCray”.
Yeah, this is going to take some explaining.
Drive’s prologue is not a classic high-intensity getaway sequence. Instead, Gosling’s calm demeanour sees him drive two masked criminals through the streets of LA in such a casual manner that it pretty much distresses his on-edge passengers. Where most Hollywood drivers would be...
Sonic’s official 35th anniversary doesn’t land until June, but Sega is already treating 2026 like one long victory lap for the blue blur - dubbed as "Forever Fast" celebrations.
That means early deals, and plenty of them. Amazon has kicked things off with a genuinely massive sale across Sonic the Hedgehog games, 4K Blu-rays, and comics.
There’s a lot here, maybe too much, and not all of it is worth your time. So instead of throwing everything at you, here’s a quick run-through of the deals that actually matter, plus the ones I’d personally spend money on.
Listen, I’m not pretending to be objective here. I love Sonic. Played everything, stuck with it through the rough years, and still show up every time. It’s one of those series...
Pragmata is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of this month, and even this year, but you can already score a bargain on preorders, which have dropped to just £41.99 in the UK.
Pragmata lands on PS5, Switch 2, Xbox, and PC on April 17, landing not long after the success of Resident Evil Requiem. It's already looking like it could be another banger for Capcom.
If you're interested in picking the game up for launch day, then you'll be pleased to know that there's already a slew of outstanding preorder deals that you can take advantage of. Let's take a look at what's up for grabs.
See on PS5 - £41.99
See on Xbox - £41.99
See on Switch 2 - £41.99
One of the standout deals right now is at Amazon UK, where you can lock in a...
Facepunch founder Garry Newman has denied the existence of a secret Rust sequel, after a Steam listing for the game popped up online.
Suspicions of some kind of viral Rust 2 announcement were piqued last night when a reddit thread appeared highlighting a — real — Steam page for "Rust 2." Within minutes, the thread elicited a swift, potentially teasing response from a Facepunch developer, stating: "You saw nothing."
But as players debated whether this new game might be a full sequel or the long-awaited port of Rust on a new engine (the current version was built using Unity), Newman ultimately stepped in to set the record straight.
"Nope. We're not making Rust 2," Newman said in a short statement passed to PC Gamer, claiming that he...
Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss has outlined a number of significant changes coming to the game in the coming months, each addressing various community complaints that were highlighted recently.
There are some real crowd-pleasers in Pearl Abyss’ blog post, including boss rematches, enemy territory recapture, and difficulty settings. But beyond that, Pearl Abyss also confirmed upgrades to the two secondary characters, Damiane and Oongka, to bring them more in line with main playable character Kliff, new pets and mounts, new outfits, and significant changes to storage.
Meanwhile, user interface and control improvements are on the way, as well as improvements to distant scenery quality. Perhaps the most important change is you’ll be...
