It's no secret that user-submitted Steam Reviews have often been quite controversial, especially during so-called "review bombings". In these instances, specific games have been targeted with a deluge of negative reviews, thus crashing the overall user review score on Valve's platform. One of the earliest scenarios was the review bombing of Firewatch, Campo Santo's acclaimed adventure game released in 2016. The following year, YouTuber PewDiePie racially insulted a player during a livestream in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), and Campo Santo's founder Sean Vanaman asked YouTube to remove all of PewDiePie's videos from the platform. However, in retaliation, PewDiePie's legion of followers […]

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, a brand new 2D game in KONAMI's revered series, was announced yesterday during the State of Play. This year, the franchise celebrates its 40th anniversary, and fans are thrilled not only because of the new game (the first since 2014's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2) but also because KONAMI has confirmed it's just the first in a series of new projects.

It takes place in the streets of 15th-century Paris, where a new […]

USA-based independent developer ProbablyMonsters (which we recently interviewed about the launch of Storm Lancers on Nintendo Switch 2) was featured on the State of Play broadcast with an interesting new game called Crimson Moon.

The game takes place in Gildenarch, a once grand metropolis now overrun by the Infernal Legion and a corruption known as "Hellgrowth". As players reclaim […]

One of the biggest surprises of yesterday's State of Play broadcast was undoubtedly the announcement of Project Windless. An open world action RPG in development at KRAFTON Montréal, it is based on the "The Bird That Drinks Tears" fantasy universe created by the Korean novelist Lee Youngdo, which has been described as "The Korean Lord of the Rings". Patrik Méthé, Head of KRAFTON Montréal Studio and Creative Director, said in a statement: From the start, we asked ourselves what it really means to play a legendary figure in a fantasy world. For us, that meant giving players real agency, not […]

During yesterday's State of Play broadcast, KONAMI and Annapurna Interactive have unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall. The spin-off psychological horror game was announced back in 2022, and this is the first time we learn anything concrete about it. Meanwhile, the development team, originally known as No Code (the same ones behind Stories Untold and Observation), has rebranded to Screen Burn. More information was revealed in the subsequent Silent Hill Transmission, where the game was described as a full-length, self-contained adventure set in cold Scotland and played entirely in first-person, marking a significant shift from the series' […]

Earlier today, Pearl Abyss published its Q4 2025 earnings report, and in the subsequent earnings call, the South Korean company revealed interesting tidbits about what it will focus on after the imminent launch of Crimson Desert. The executives revealed that, depending on market demand (that is to say, depending on how well the game sells), Pearl Abyss already has plans to potentially add downloadable content and even multiplayer. As you probably remember, the game was actually supposed to be an MMO at first. Then it shifted to an open world game with multiplayer elements, but in the last few years, Pearl Abyss hasn't […]

Today, South Korean developer Pearl Abyss has released the third and final Crimson Desert overview video. While the previous overviews were focused on the story and combat, this time the footage puts the spotlight on the game's non-combat activities. The heart of the player's journey in Crimson Desert will be in the Greymane Camp. After losing their homeland, Paelun, to the Black Bears, the faction established this stretch of land in Hernand as their new base of operations. Although the camp has humble beginnings, owing to the ragged state of the Greymane band at the beginning of the game, it […]

Aside from announcing the new sales milestone of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, the Embracer Group also just revealed the final launch date of the Gothic remake. The game will need a little more polishing time, the group said, and is now set to ship globally on June 5, 2026. As you might recall, a public demo was released six years ago as a test to gauge interest in the remake. The reception was positive, despite some criticism of certain aspects of the demo, and led the Embracer Group to found Alkimia Interactive, which has been working on the Gothic remake […]

Hello Games has just released Remnant, another free update for No Man's Sky. The patch (6.2) introduces gravity manipulation mechanics, extensive vehicle customization, and industrial waste processing facilities. The headline feature of Remnant is arguably the Gravitino Coil, a new Multi-Tool upgrade that fundamentally changes how players interact with the game world. This device allows travelers to magnetize, carry, and launch objects, creating entirely new gameplay possibilities through physics manipulation. No Man's Sky players are now able to grab and fling various items scattered across planets, including golden artifacts discovered in planetary ruins. However, the developers believe the tool's most […]
