During a feature presentation this evening, Square Enix revealed the latest expansion for the sprawling Final Fantasy XIV MMORPG. Endwalker is coming this fall. That’s right. This year! A teaser trailer briefly dipped into a number of story beats involving a warrior of light and the end of the world. Again! While many JRPGs only have room

Super Mario World has a classic soundtrack. Just listening to some of those songs sends waves of nostalgia over me, whether it’s an upbeat track from the early game or a foreboding dungeon theme. I don’t much about music composition or the challenges developers face in getting that music onto a SNES cartridge, but thankfully, some people

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s Cal Kestis may only rank 42/57 (so far) in our list of super scientific character rankings, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t make a cool action figure. Hasbro clearly agrees since it has unveiled the Gaming Greats Cal Kestis Black Series action figure. If you’re a fan of Fallen Order, or

I’ve fallen out of love with the concept of crafting games lately because it so often boils down to stacks of items in my inventory that I press a button to process. Potion Craft has reignited the excitement I used to feel about crafty games with its lovely, clever little demo about brewing potions for

As the landscape of technology changes to give gamers, creators, critics, and companies more and more ways to interact with each other, the conversion around ”overhyping” continues to evolve. From a studio’s consumer-facing front to the media’s takes on games as they come out, the topic of “too much hype too soon” is an important conversation to have. Moon

I can’t get enough Matthew Castle inside my head. I’ve said this before, but despite listening to him on both our Electronic Wireless Show and PC Gaming Weekspot podcasts, I still crave more Matthew. Enter The Back Page podcast, a not-affiliated-with-RPS podcast Matthew records with former PC Gamer editor Samuel Roberts. It’s good! In particular,

Electronic Arts have gone and had their earnings call for the quarter, that event where execs tell interested parties how many boatloads of money they’ve made and plan to make in the future. It’s also a time for them to answer questions about their products and studios. On the subject of the Dragon Age and

Krogans in the Mass Effect universe have an additional set of secondary organs and yes, that includes testicles. While that bit of knowledge has been around for awhile, what many might not know is that this hardened race of warriors actually has Star Trek to thank for their additional…um, assets. Krogans have secondary organs with an extra

When the Switch version of Apex Legends was first announced last summer, Electronic Arts said it would be releasing in the fall of 2020. That didn’t happen, but a recent post seemed to indicate that Respawn’s shooter would be hitting today, February 2, alongside season 8. That also didn’t happen. But even if Switch owners aren’t claiming

I didn’t realise how much I wanted a proper good space RTS until I saw the trailer for Star Exodus. It’s got heavy Battlestar Galactica vibes, as it’s about leading the last survivors of humanity across the galaxy, trying to keep morale up, and getting into scraps with various enemies. It also looks slightly naff,

People are excited for Resident Evil Village. Part of that enthusiasm comes from the recent gameplay demo, along with additional details revealed as part of the latest trailer. However, another part of the excitement comes specifically from Lady Dimitrescu, the ghastly, yet compelling woman who has captured fans’ attention with her disturbing mystique and towering height. Capcom

When you see squirrels doing their thing in the wild, have you ever wondered what they’re really up to when no one’s looking? As they forage for nuts and make those weird cries, what are they hiding? That’s the premise of Nuts, a bizarre and intriguing narrative surveillance game that’s all about spying on squirrels. The

Fans are waiting with bated breath for any inkling of Overwatch 2 news (and they might not have to wait much longer with BlizzCon Online happening this month), but in the meantime, the Overwatch in-game event calendar presses on. Just a week removed from the Kanezaka challenge centered on Hanzo, and less than a month

Blizzard is celebrating 30 years of fandom glory this year and a small part of the celebratory festivities includes a first look at an impressive Arthas Helm of Domination replica. This collectible comes at a good time, considering Sylvanas destroyed it in the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands DLC. While the in-game helmet is used to

If you missed out on the Yakuza spinoff Judgment when it hit PlayStation 4 in 2019, you’ll soon have another chance to check out the detective thriller. Sega has announced that a remastered version of Ryo Ga Gotoku Studio’s game will be coming not only to PlayStation 5 but also the Xbox Series X/S and

Apple has released iOS 14.5 for public beta testers today. Per The Verge, the most exciting feature in terms of gaming is controller support for the PlayStation 5’s DualSense and the Xbox Series X controller.  There’s no confirmation on when the update will go live for everyone, but iOS 14.5 allows users to use the

Monolith’s Lord Of The Rings games Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor and Shadow Of War are fun action stealth ’em ups that deserve praise just for their combat. What really makes both worth mention though is the nemesis system that turns procedurally generated baddies into your own personal antagonists the more you encounter them. Why haven’t

Epic have shared some stats from the Epic Games Store in 2020. The key takeaways: almost two-thirds of all money spent on the store is spent on games made by Epic; but golly, they sure did give away a lot of free games.

Earlier this year, the United States swore in a new president to take the helm over the next four years with Joesph Biden Jr. but the real star of the 46th inauguration was Bernie Sanders huddled in the stands with an admittedly adorable pair of mittens on to battle the cold. The image of Sanders in

Scavengers Studio has issued a response to allegations that went public earlier this week, citing a predatory and toxic work involvement centering around creative director Simon Darveau and his then-romantic partner CEO Amélie Lamarche.  The original report by GameIndustry.biz detailed a dark side of the company (substantiated by conversations with nine current and former employees of Scavengers Studio), with many
