Metro 2039 has just shown off its latest gameplay at Gamescom Opening Night Live, and the new “Renegade” trailer only needs around two minutes to make one thing clear: the Metro is still an absolutely miserable place to be. Thankfully, that is exactly why we want to go back. The footage immediately brings back memories of Metro 2033. Tight underground spaces, weak lighting, abandoned corners and the constant feeling that something unpleasant could be hiding just outside your flashlight beam...

Over a decade after its initial announcement and subsequent cancellation, Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets has officially brought his long-lost passion project back to life. Developed and published by Panache Digital Games, 1666: Amsterdam is a dark fantasy action-adventure that shifts away from standard historical stealth to embrace dark witchcraft, time-bending narratives, and supernatural investigation.  ...

Farming Simulator 25 has revealed more details about Beans & Alpacas, the upcoming DLC for the game. This time, GIANTS Software is focusing on bananas, a crop that comes with its own dedicated cultivation system rather than simply being added to the existing farming mechanics. Players will be able to design their own banana plantations, use a rail system to transport the harvest, treat diseased plants, and send bananas through several different production chains. Alongside this, Beans & Alpacas will...

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is now officially available, bringing players back into the fight against the Xenomorphs with a new campaign and a range of changes built on the foundation of its predecessor. After what Aliens: Fireteam Elite accomplished, as well as the limitations that remained in the previous experience, the sequel now faces an important question: can Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 improve upon its predecessor and deliver a more complete co-op experience?  ...

Dead by Daylight has officially released Update 10.1.0, bringing a new chapter of content along with a wide range of changes for players to discover. This update not only adds new content to The Fog, but also includes adjustments to several of the game's familiar systems. Behaviour Interactive has also dedicated a significant portion of the update to changes made after the PTB, showing that 10.1.0 has more to offer than what players may notice at first glance.  ...

Following the recent network test, FromSoftware has revealed more details about th game. It turns out that the studio is preparing to throw players into a rather unusual multiplayer experiment with The Duskbloods, and apparently doesn't want newcomers to spend their first few hours wondering why everyone else seems to have a PhD in vampire murder. Hidetaka Miyazaki has revealed that the game will use skill-based matchmaking, a system designed to keep inexperienced players from immediately being thrown into matches...

CD Projekt Red has finally answered the question that has been following The Witcher 4 around like a particularly persistent monster contract: when is it actually coming out? The answer is 2028, although there is an important little asterisk attached to that year. The studio has confirmed a release window rather than a firm date, meaning Ciri's next great adventure is still several years away. The news came from CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski in a video published ahead of...

Most horror games are happy enough when they make you jump. SILENT BREATH takes things a little further: it actually listens for the scream that comes afterwards. The setup is wonderfully cruel. You head into a dark, photorealistic forest looking for missing people, knowing that something out there is waiting to ruin your night. Meanwhile, your microphone can become part of the experience, so panicking too loudly is not exactly the smartest survival strategy. Naturally, that sounds easier than it is. Between...

Fishing games are usually about patience, peaceful lakes and waiting for the perfect bite. How To Fish apparently looked at that formula and decided it needed guns, ridiculous physics and several friends making terrible decisions together. Released on Steam on August 20, How To Fish comes from Dazed Games, a tiny Swedish studio formed by just two programmers, Carl-Vilhelm Johansson and Melvin Olsson. Somehow, their wonderfully silly take on fishing has turned into one of 2026’s biggest indie surprises. Within only...

Rebel Wolves has wasted little time responding to criticism surrounding the console performance of The Blood of Dawnwalker. After the studio revealed that its upcoming dark fantasy RPG would initially offer 30 FPS and 40 FPS modes on consoles, it has now confirmed that a dedicated Performance Mode targeting 60 FPS will be available from day one. Console players can compare Blood of Dawnwalker Xbox key prices on DLCompare. A controversy about the game's performance on consoles The controversy began last...

Brigador Killers is the kind of sequel that clearly did not want to play it safe. Instead of simply giving players more mechs, more guns and more buildings to flatten, Stellar Jockeys and Gausswerks have pushed the original Brigador formula in a much bigger direction. You can still climb into heavy vehicles and turn city streets into rubble, but now you can also get out, fight on foot, scavenge weapons, manage equipment and steal whatever machine looks useful next. It makes...

A game about feeding rubber ducks into a mysterious corporate abyss sounds like the sort of idea someone comes up with at 2 a.m. and forgets by morning. Somehow, Project P.I.T.T. turned that exact concept into one of August’s more unexpected indie success stories. Developed largely by solo developer Froke, the project began around a year before release as a small experiment inspired by incremental games and automation. Instead of watching numbers increase on a menu, the idea was to...
