Now the Steam people can link their Steam accounts to their Playstation account. Or well, right now you can just do that in Marvel’s Spider-Man which was patched today to rake the arena for the new feature. Sony has also launched a small website for the purpose, with images of Uncharted, Days Gone and God of War . In other words, more is coming, but we don’t know exactly when. And what do you gain from this? Well, in Spider-Man you get a couple of skill points, a suit and a “Concussive Blas
The role-playing game Wyrdsong was unveiled with a trailer during yesterday's Gamescom stream. It's an open world RPG with supernatural elements, and the trailer voice hints at an unpleasant experience. It takes place in a medieval Portugal and is powered by the game engine Unreal Engine 5. But much more than that, the developers have not revealed, not even what platforms it is made for. But perhaps most interesting is the developer - Something Wicked Games. It was founded by Charles S
Microtransactions in a monthly fee game, critics say. After some rumors, Blizzard confirms that virtual currency is coming to World of Warcraft. The currency is called "Hearthsteel" and is launched with the next expansion, Midnight, which will be released next year. The currency is to be used to trade gadgets for the houses that are part of the expansion. In a description, it is emphasized that many things will still be free, and which rules apply to what will be sold. Criticism has been heard o
Battlefield 2042 was not quite what the players wanted, mainly because it differed quite significantly from previous parts of the series. Anyone who agrees with this is welcome Battlefield boss Vince Zampella In an interview with Barrons (via VGC ), he says: "I think they strayed a little too far from what Battlefield is. They tried to do a couple of things that were maybe ambitious: grow the number of players etc. I don't think they put enough time into further developing what makes it fun
We have to wait longer for some sequels than others. In a press release, Paradox reveals that Victoria 3 will be released on October 25, which means twelve years after the second and nineteen years after Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun. There is time to build up reasonably high requirements during that time. Up to the proof! The grand strategy game takes us from 1836 all the way to 1936. The Victorian era is considered strict, ornate and rule-heavy. Proven breeding ground for successful s
Michael Madsen, Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker, Damion Poiter, Vanilla Ice… The Vice City vibes are clear. Payday too, right? That’s the feeling we get from the Crime Boss: Rockay City trailer, an fps for shooters. It’s honestly hard to draw any major conclusions. Ingame has previously contributed to titles such as Mafia, Arma and Silent Hill , but will now stand on its own action legs. What stands out most in the trailer is the star-studded cast;
Valve has made a booklet with information about and around the Steam Deck, and in it there is quite a lot of information. Anyone who worries that today’s Steam Deck will be a one-time story can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief when Valve outlines a product that will span “several generations”. Gaming on Linux noted the following as written by Valve: "Steam Deck represents the first in a new category of Steam handheld gaming PC’s. In the future, Valve will follow up on this product with im
There was a lot of Assassin's Creed news during Ubisoft's Showcase. In addition to Assassin's Creed: Mirage and lots of other things, Ubisoft also teased a multiplayer-oriented Assassin's Creed. The game is codenamed Invictus and Marc-Aleix Coté said: “The reasoning behind having a multiplayer initiative as well is I feel Assassin’s Creed can branch into different channels. We’ve only scratched the surface of what we can do with the Animus with Assassin’s Creed. We’ve had multiplayer in the
Ubisoft chooses to raise the price of AAA games for the latest console generation. Starting with Skull and Bones , you'll get to cough up more for the company's big game. This applies to both Playstation 5 and Xbox Series. The announcement of the price increase is given by the company's CEO Yves Guillemont in an interview with Axiom. He says the price tag is raised to $70 for big games. A look at the digital console stores tells you that you can pay $79 for the standard version of Skul
In the past six months, Ubisoft has discontinued seven games. Most unknown but not all, such as Splinter Cell VR. On Wednesday, an emergency meeting was held with Ubisoft and investors, where closures and further Skull and Bones delays were agreed upon. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot expresses disappointment. He highlights industry changes and the economic situation of the rest of the world. " We are clearly disappointed by our recent performance. We are facing con
Sega announces that their comic campus simulator Two Point Campus has now reached 1 million players after only two weeks. Which means it even beats its predecessor Two Point Hospital. Mark Webley at Two Point Studios proudly says this about the game: "We had big shoes to fill following the success of Two Point Hospital, so it feels particularly sweet to hit one million players even faster than before" "And this is just the beginning, just as we did with Hospital, we'll be continuously suppo
Game developer NetEase is primarily known for mobile games and as a helper for Blizzard in China (as well as for owning a number of pig farms as a side gig). Now they are going to enter the big gaming market with their first AAA game: “Blood Message”. The game is set in ancient China and follows a messenger on a dangerous journey through a country ravaged by rebellion. The adventure is linear, and will contain both action and exploration. “Blood Message” surprised many when the game was announce

The beat’em’up game featuring the mutant turtles was very well received by both players and critics. Now it seems that TMNT Shredder’s Revenge will also get a dedicated Playstation 5 version. There is really nothing strange about this, but the strange thing here is that according to them themselves, the game will be identical to the PS4 version. Why they choose to release an identical version is unclear as the game can already be played on PS5 through the PS4 version, but regardless Shredde
In the same vein that Insomniac revealed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 with a release in 2023, they also confirmed Marvel's Wolverine in a nagging short teaser. That game was described in fall 2021 as "very early in development" . No date was mentioned. For its part, Microsoft claims that Insomniac and Playstation Studios plan to release this Marvel title as well in 2023. Tech4Gamer notes in documents regarding the British Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) that Wolverine and others will be re
The announcement comes 15 years after the game’s world premiere (October 26, 2007). The new version is powered by the Unreal Engine 5 game engine and is “rebuilt from the ground up”, as the announcement states. The remake is made by the Polish developer Fool’s Theory, who previously helped Larian with Baldur’s Gate 3, among other things. According to CD Projekt, they contribute with their know-how and support. The project is quite fresh, so while there are no indications of when it will be
Stray Fawn Studio scored Kickstarter success when they raised money to create the game The Wandering Village . That was in 2020, and now it's finally time for it to be released in early access on Steam. It's a city-building game, but with the significant difference that you don't build on solid ground, but on the back of a gigantic, six-legged creature that wanders through the world. The people in the game have been driven from their village by plants that spread poisonous spores. However,
Vampire Survivors not only became one of the most popular games on Steam in 2022, it was also released for Xbox and mobile formats before the end of the year. Something striking is that the mobile version is really free. No, not free-to-play, but free through and through. The end. Or yes, maybe a little comma is in order. Namely, there are advertisements for purchases in the game (but "no pop-ups"), which you can ignore and avoid interacting with. The reason is that the developer wants to m
Mutated dinosaurs are the main antagonists in Second Extinction , the fps game where three people fight together in the best Left 4 Dead style for their survival. And the release is approaching - on October 20, the game will be released. This is the second title from Systemic Reaction, one of three developers under the Swedish Avalanche Studios. They debuted in 2019 with the heavily 80s-smelling Generation Zero. Hopefully Second Extinction gets a warmer reception. It's coming to PC and Xbox
In Republic of Pirates we get to build and take care of our own settlement among turquoise waters and swaying palm trees, and it's been out since a few days ago on PC. There is also a demo to test, so raise your flag and take it for a test ride. Here there is a resource-based economy to consider as well as diplomatic relations to nurture, but when the words are spoken, real-time sea battles can also be resorted to. To help with that, you must recruit and upgrade well-known pirate captains,
More rumors around Edward Kenway. The mythical remake of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag can be released before the summer. According to Ubisoft's financial report, all upcoming games on the menu must be released before the end of March 2026. The report also mentions a title that has not yet been revealed and this may well be Ubisoft's pirate adventure. As I said, the remake of Black Flag has not yet been officially unveiled, but there are many rumors pointing towards it. The voice actors in the ga
After only a week and despite Game Pass-releases. Boom! And then the world's worst preserved secret was finally released. And it went well, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered attracted four million players in just four days. The game is also on Game Pass, but despite this, the sales figures do not seem to slow down. Mat Piscatella from the analysis company Circana actually writes on Bluesky that the game already during its first week became the third best selling game in the US in terms o
The term "pixel perfection" gets thrown around a bit sometimes, but in the case of The Excavation of Hob's Barrow (pc) it feels justified. Looks fantastic! The adventure is about antiquarian Thomasina Bateman who, via a mysterious letter, ends up in a sleepy small town with buried secrets. Maybe you're not trying to prevent people from getting in, but something from getting out ? Well, this is an adventure with underlying horror, with a so-called pagan horror ("folk horror"). The Excav
