Mimimi Games, the developer known for Desperado III and the Shadow Tactics series, has revealed a new title called Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. Much like the developer’s other titles, Shadow Gambit functions as a tactical stealth game, only this time we have a seafaring pirate theme. Notably, Shadow Gambit marks Mimimi Games’ first foray into self-publishing, and it has used this opportunity to “push the Stealth Strategy genre to the next level....

Shadow of the Tomb Raider developer Eidos Montreal has revealed it’s pretty chuffed with how the action-adventure title performed following its launch last September. Speaking with USGamer during PAX East, the game’s producer, Jonathan Dahan, said that the success of Lara Croft’s latest relic-hunting romp resulted in the team continuing to pump out extra DLC, the last of which is launching this month. ‘We’re super happy with how [Shadow of the Tomb Raider] turned out, both on the critics side and performance,’ he said....

Deciding whether to join the Shadows faction or the Immortals faction in Diablo Immortal can be a bit of a pain. Both of these factions have their own perks and you need to work hard to get into them. But are these factions really worth the trouble of putting in your time and effort? Keep reading this guide to learn about Shadows Vs Immortals in Diablo Immortal and which faction you should join....

Last weekend’s Marvel panel at the San Diego Comic-Con brought a ton of news and fleshed out the direction the Marvel Cinematic Universe will head in for the next few years. With the announcement of Phase 6 bringing two new Avengers movies, today has brought confirmation that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton will be at the helm of the first movie, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Besides working on last year’s blockbuster hit Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Cretton is working on a live-action adaptation Wonder Woman series as well as a sequel to Shang-Chi....

Shenmue III backers can explore Bailu Village this weekend during the trial version of the game. The one-hour long demo will allow you to mosey around the little village, seeing the sights and enjoy some of the story. Of course, the trial is available to all Shenmue III backers. You would have had to reach the $100 USD Trial tier during the backer campaign. If you managed to reach the necessary tier, check your inbox for the invite from Fangamer....

Confirming previous rumors, the Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team is indeed developing a Silent Hill 2 remake, and, judging by the trailer, it’s much further along than anticipated. During a Silent Hill showcase today, Konami unveiled the first trailer for the remake. And it’s not a teaser trailer, oh no. We get our first glimpse of Pyramid Head, and a long look at both the eponymous town and protagonist James Sunderland....

The Canadian Government has shelled out a whopping 4 million dollars to gaming company Silicon Knights (who were the company behind Too Human, an XBox 360 game released in 2008), which may lead more game developers to think that Canada is becoming the gaming development capital. The move, announced by local MP Rick Dykstra, was made at the steps of the company’s office in Saint Catherines. Silicon Knights was jubilant over the development (who wouldn’t be?...

Update: New footage of The Last of Us Part I has surfaced, featuring six minutes of gameplay. The person who has leaked the footage has also claimed that there are “no gameplay improvements.” It was previously thought that the new game would adopt the improved shooting mechanics of the sequel, but, according to this leaker, it doesn’t. The videos were shared by XboxEra.com co-founder Nick Baker (via VGC), who has since deleted them....

Slime Rancher 2 is the second installment of the famous indie open-world first-person life-simulation game. Wander the world of Rainbow Island while playing as the adventurous Beatrix LeBeau. While unfolding the secrets of the island, you encounter various Slimes that can be ranched inside a Conservatory. However, you have to make sure that all the equipment on your ranch is up-to-date. Doing this requires resources to spend, and in this game the exclusive currency is Newbucks....

Smash Ultimate wasn’t one of the games we had pegged for a title that would egg its players on to spend extra real-life money, but apparently we were wrong. Virtual currency is a big deal in today’s society. In fact, the world seems to be moving towards a time when physical cash will no longer exist. We are already well on our way there, considering that we’re already using cards, contactless, and even currencies that have no physical form whatsoever, such as bitcoin....

It’s been a few months since SnowRunner brought us Season 5 with new maps and vehicles for players to truck through the mud and snow with. A new season showed up today, and we can finally jump into season 6: Haul & Hustle. The season can be purchased by itself for $6.99, but if you’ve already purchased the season 2 pass, it’ll already be in your library. Much like previous seasons, season 6 has two new maps and two new vehicles....

We’ve all heard of pacifist runs in video games. Maybe you’ve even tried a few yourself. Completing Resident Evil 4 without firing a single bullet, though? That’s a feat and a half! Before we get into things, let’s take a moment to remind ourselves about Resident Evil 4. This was the entry that changed everything for the franchise. The entry that marked the change from survival horror as we used to know it to something far more action-orientated....

We already know that Sony has plans to make good with the slighted PlayStation Network users who have now gone almost a month without any services coming back online, but until now there has been no official word from Sony about Sony Online Entertainment compensation. Gamers are getting antsy, so Sony has finally divulged information regarding what SOE will be awarding its users for suffering through the past few weeks as their subscriptions waste away....

Sony’s marketing deal for Call of Duty allegedly ‘restricts’ it from appearing in Game Pass. As reported in Eurogamer, it comes from Xbox’s full response to a filing by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) as Microsoft looks to take over Activision Blizzard for $68bn. “The acquisition of Activision Blizzard provides Microsoft with capabilities and content on mobile, which it currently lacks, while creating new distribution options for game developers outside of mobile app stores....

Today Atlus released the usual daily trailer for its upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2, showing some of its demons. To be precise, we see Mokoi, Loki, Leanan Sidhe, Inugami, and Hanuman. Incidentally, this is the first time one of the trailers showcases Hanuman. As usual, the trailer also includes the daily horoscope, but this time, it only shows five lucky signs, Taurus, Scorpio, Pisces, Virgo, and Leo. Soul Hackers 2 releases for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam and Windows Store) on August 26, just one day after the Japanese launch on August 25....

Today Atlus revealed another of its daily trailers of the upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2, focusing on one of the demons that will appear in the game. This time around it’s a classic, Pixie, that has been part of the Shin Megami Tensei series since basically forever, including the recently-released Shin Megami Tensei V. The trailer also includes the usual daily horoscope, and this time Leo is at the top of the fortune ranking, while Gemini is at the bottom....

It’s funny how time can shift our perceptions. Long, long ago, way back in 1997, South Park was a counter-cultural and revolutionary TV show. It was an ode to all things sexual and scatological that looked like it had been animated in the creators’ garden shed. Best noted for the ire it drew from parents groups and the weekly deaths of perma-hoodied fourth-grader Kenny, it bore all the markings of a flash-in-the-pan success as tie-in merchandise quickly shifted by the millions and a movie was fast-tracked to the multiplexes almost immediately....

Sony’s been keeping mum in regards to a Spider-Man release date, although a European retailer may have let the cat out of the bag over the weekend, with a listing pointing to a September release window for the highly anticipated PS4 game. CoolShop, a Swedish-based retailer, claims the web-slinging superhero romp will be hitting stores on September 28. If you’re reading this with your morning coffee then we advise you to add a pinch of salt into the mix just to be safe, as nothing official has been confirmed as of yet....

Have you ever fancied swinging about New York City as Kermit? Or Elsa? If yes, you’re in luck. It’s been a hot while since my first mod round-up for Spider-Man Remastered. Since then, more modders have shared their work on Nexus Mods. Here are some more mods which put people who have no business being in Spider-Man into Spider-Man. First up we have TangoTeds’s Kermit creation. It’s slightly bizarre to see a human-sized Kermit standing next to regular sized people in-game, I won’t lie....

This Star Wars review contains spoilers. It’s hard to separate The Rise of Skywalker novel from the movie. Author Rae Carson could not change Rey’s family history as a Palpatine, and could not re-write Poe Dameron and Finn’s dialogue. What she does instead is expand on opportune moments. General Leia Organa and Rose Tico, constrained to the Resistance base in the movie, both have larger roles in the book. Overall, the novel is serviceable, with some interesting choices in regards to what parts of the story to elaborate on and what to play close to the script....
