Spider-Man 2 still aiming for 2023 release

Everything is delayed. Most of the time. So it's perhaps not so surprising that worried fans are asking Insomniac on Twitter if the vague 2023 release window will hold for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. According to Insomniac, there is no cause for concern. "Good progress" is being made and they still hold 2023 as the release date for the sequel. Spider-Man 2 was unveiled in September last year and since then we haven't seen the smoke of another trailer, but that shouldn't be cause for concern - ac

Sony Wanted to Cancel Kojima’s Physint, So Xbox Stepped In

Hideo Kojima’s long-awaited return to the espionage genre has taken a surprising detour. Physint, the upcoming action-spy game widely viewed as a spiritual successor to Kojima’s legendary work on Metal Gear Solid, is no longer being developed in partnership with PlayStation. Instead, Xbox has stepped in. According to Kojima, PlayStation Studios unexpectedly informed Kojima Productions in mid-June 2026 that it intended to cancel the Physint project. Rather than abandon the game, Kojima Production

Sony tweets about Bloodborne, then deletes the tweet

Many people agree that the number of remasters and remakes is often exaggerated. But! Just as many (at least) probably wouldn't turn down a PS5 remaster of Bloodborne , whose PS4 original hardly flows flawlessly on PS4. While you're at it: a PC version too, please. Rumors have come and gone but so far we have no Bloodborne remake in sight. Yesterday, however, Sony posted a tweet showing a cropped and zoomed-in image of Bloodborne 's cover, and the question: "Can you see that? Do you se

Sony erases traces of Star Wars: KotOR remake

The trailer was set to "private" on Youtube. What is happening with the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ? The game shook the internet in September 2021, but since then we've been shaking for other reasons - and now we're shaking again. Sony seems to be working hard to wash away the traces of the remake. The trailer in Playstation's YouTube channel is set to private. On X/Twitter it is also reported that Sony has taken down all tweets about the game - except for one whe

Skull and Bones is delayed at the last minute

Well, just when we thought it was finally time, it wasn't time at all. Ubisoft's project Skull and Bones was supposed to be released on November 8, i.e. in just over a month, but now they have announced that this will not be the case. The game is instead postponed until March 9 next year. On Twitter, they write that the game is actually already finished, but that they received some feedback from technical tests and their insider program, which convinced them that the game needs to be polish

Rumor: Sony puts a stop to the Silent Hill 2 remake on the Xbox

The pie throwing between the two console giants continues and this time it is the upcoming, highly awaited Silent Hill 2 remake that is in focus. Microsoft now claims that they have evidence that Sony has bought exclusive rights to the game that will prevent a release on the Xbox. The same is also alleged to apply to Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII remake. "MS has already told CMA that Final Fantasy VII Remake cannot be released on Xbox.

Rumor: Diablo 4 will be released in June

This year’s The Game Awards will be broadcast soon. So expect the week ahead to be filled with noble thistles and tassels – and now smoking hot stuff is coming from a diabolical direction.

Journalists should be encouraged to watch the Game Awards, when news will be released

Rockstar confirms GTA 6 leak - Hacking was behind

It was a breach of Rockstar's network that caused the massive GTA 6 leak. This is evident from a comment from the company, which at the same time confirms what everyone believed - the leaked material is genuine, and thus the very first material from the next GTA title. The culprit(s) came across "confidential information" including "early development material from the next Grand Theft Auto," Rockstar writes. There have been reports that the source code is also on the loose, but this is not

Phil Spencer on Redfall fiasco: 'Takes full responsibility'

Want to ensure the quality of the company's games. After the low ratings for Redfall, "disappointment" is a recurring word when Phil Spencer joins us to talk about the game in Kinda Funny Games' video call. The Xbox boss says he understands buyers' disappointment and feels the same way. One of the issues touched on is that the game only runs at 30 frames per second on both Xbox consoles - that is, even on the more powerful Xbox Series X. 60 fps support will be patched in later, but Spe

Park Beyond

With a couple of Might & Magics and Tropico 6 under his belt, Limbic doesn't have a roller-coaster habit, but despite this, there's something obvious about Park Beyond. It feels natural for the Planet Coaster - and Theme Park -experienced to pick up, and in a genre that deals with tricks and tricks, this is a nice plus on the edge. Count on the old tricks of (literally) salting fries to (figuratively) salt the prices of soft drinks. This and all the other things we recognize are not why

Overwatch 2 requires a mobile number to play

Unlike its predecessor, Overwatch 2 will be free-to-play, which of course increases the risk of cheating and people creating accounts on the fly to be able to act like fools. However, Activision is ready with a set of solutions that they call the Defense Matrix , and part of this is connected to whether the fans have mobiles or not. In order to play the game, you have to connect a mobile phone number to your Battle.net account, and this applies regardless of the platform you play on and eve

Overwatch 2 - Another queue simulator from Blizzard

Overwatch 2 is having a rough start. Everything from DDOS to server queues. It's becoming quite a theme over at the Blizzard headquarters, server queues, it's almost as Blizzard was a small indie company living of off funding from a kickstarter project and not a billion dollar company.

One of the biggest action RPGs of 2024 is being removed from the Epic Games Store

The controversial online game “Dark and Darker” will be removed from all players’ libraries on the Epic Games Store on November 1. In an email to players, Epic Games writes that the removal is due to a court order in South Korea, between the gaming company Nexon and “Dark and Darker” publisher Ironmace.

Nintendo may "Brick" your console if you violate the terms of use

The updated user agreement allows them to make a Nintendo device "permanently unusable". Next month, it is time for Switch 2 - Nintendo's next console, which is essentially a more powerful variant of their latest success. Prior to this, they have updated their user agreement and privacy policy, and one of the new points may probably be considered worth raising an eyebrow over. It is in the license section that Nintendo points out that one must not in any way circumvent, modify, decrypt, destroy

New Overwatch 2 players must play 100 matches to unlock the original characters

According to a new blog post on the Overwatch website, new players in Overwatch 2 will have to play 100 matches to unlock all the characters from the original Overwatch game .
