After years of almost complete silence following Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami, the Metal Gear Solid series has finally returned to the spotlight with Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 and last year's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the third entry in the series. While it's unknown if the remake developed by Virtuos and Konami will be followed by any other series' remake or new entry in the series, we have learned during today's State of Play presentation that fans will soon get the chance to experience Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: […]

Besides providing new looks at PlayStation Studios titles, the February 12 State of Play presentation showcased some of the biggest third-party games launching this year. Among them is Control Resonant, the second entry in Remedy Entertainment's series, and the studio's most ambitious game to date. An ambition that was made evident by the first gameplay showcase. The gameplay reveal, which can be watched below, shows how Dylan Faden, brother of Control's protagonist Jesse, takes on a wide range of paranatural threats using the environment and his shapeshifting weapon called Aberrant. Though only around 3 minutes long, the gameplay trailer does […]

FromSoftware's The Duskbloods was a standout reveal during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event, though its continued absence from the spotlight has led to speculation regarding its launch timeline. Despite the title not appearing during this month's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, the project remains on track to release before the end of the year. Kadokawa, FromSoftware's parent company, reiterated this window today in its Q3 fiscal year earnings report, confirming a generic 2026 schedule for the title. In the report, Kadokawa also addressed the game's platform status, stating it will "only be available for the Nintendo Switch 2". While this […]

While CAPCOM's RE Engine gathered a controversial reputation in the past few years due to the spotty performance of Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon's Dogma 2, the game engine fares significantly better in more linear games. Among the games that does not suffer from any major performance issues caused by the engine itself is the Resident Evil 4 remake, but a recent update to the PC version has essentially put the game in a worse condition than it was at launch. "Updating years old software with new DRM is stupid," noted Digital Foundry’s Alex Battaglia. The tech expert's analysis confirms […]

In less than a year since its release, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has become almost legendary. Breaking all records for Game of the Year awards, the role-playing game developed by Sandfall Interactive has enjoyed immense popularity thanks to its classic JRPG gameplay and incredible art direction. Funnily enough, that art direction is so convincing that it recently triggered a national antiquities investigation in the Middle East. "This can't be for real, my Expedition Journal that comes with the Monolith Set got detained by customs for being 'possibly ancient", reported Reddit user Ahmed15252 on the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 subreddit. "Customs […]

The God of War series is one of the tentpole PlayStation franchises, and one that represents the brand's identity best. Moving from the character-action experiences of the first three entries in the series, the franchise starring Kratos has evolved into a compelling action-adventure series with the latest two games. Such a drastic departure in gameplay and tone is obviously making fans of the series curious about the franchise's future, but as of now, not much is known about how God of War will evolve in future games. Before a new main entry in the series, however, it is rumored a […]

The February Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase brought new information about several third-party games launching on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. A good portion of the presentation focused on ports launching this year for the current-generation Nintendo system, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. With the recent Nintendo Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade running and looking great on the system, many are wondering how the console will handle the second entry in the series, which is a more complex game […]

Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture have always approached game design with an "art-first" philosophy. While their titles aren't always the most modern in terms of raw mechanics, they are always more than the simple sum of their parts. Powered by a singular, punk-rock vision, each title possesses a distinct flair that is becoming increasingly rare in the risk-averse AAA space. Following No More Heroes III, which was based on a very strong vision but was ultimately constrained by the unrealized open-world setting, and Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, a remaster of a rather niche game of the PS3/ Xbox 360 […]
