For those of you anticipating the next game to come out of Rocksteady Studios, it looks like you’ll have to wonder a bit longer. Game director and studio co-founder Sefton Hill has revealed that Rocksteady won’t be around for E3 this year, but the team is “hard at work on our next big project.” This is basically what Hill wrote around a year ago. Back in 2018, he wrote a short message for those who were upset that the studio skipped out on the show....

Rod Fergusson, head of The Coalition, has left the developer to join Activision Blizzard (via Gematsu). His “new adventure” takes him to Activision Blizzard, where he will be calling the shots for its Diablo series in March. “Leaving is bittersweet as I love our Gears family, the fans, and everyone at The Coalition and Xbox. Thank you, it has been an honor and a privilege to work with you all,” continued Fergusson....

The urban disaster survival game I Am Alive has remained in the shadows for quite a long time. Now it has resurfaced with new information, this time regarding the title’s change from a full retail disc release into a game available for download through Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Network. Details about the game have been few and far between. What is known for sure is that the game was intended to take place during an urban disaster in the form of a massive earthquake that devastates the city of Chicago....

Originally released for PC and Mac in 2018, and now available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, Sagebrush caught the attention of many players from the uneasy feeling that the game’s trailer provided. From the get-go, it’s clear - both from the trailer and the game’s actual description - that players are tasked with uncovering the mystery behind a 1993 mass suicide that took place at the compound of an apocalyptic Millenialist cult in deserts of New Mexico, named Perfect Heaven....

I’m conflicted on Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. The game has a truly surprising amount of ambition and it does some impressive things. But, when attempting such feats of design, being able to adequately explain and balance everything is of the utmost importance. Otherwise, players can become frustrated and waste time struggling to figure things out. The game’s combat is strong and the farming is more complicated and specific than I think I’ve ever seen in a game before....

Samantha Bee’s TBS series Full Frontal has earned multiple Emmy nominations. She’s the longest-tenured Daily Show correspondent in the show’s history, has written a book (I Know I Am, But What Are You?), and co-created a TV series, The Detour, with her husband Jason Jones. She’s the Queen Bee of political comedy, but she’s aiming to add another title to her prestigious resume: gaming industry disrupter. After a successful experience with mobile gaming during the midterm elections, Bee and the Full Frontal team are back to “gamify” the Democratic primary with “Full Frontal’$ Totally Unrigged Primary....

Developer MGP Studios and publisher Fat Dog Games have announced that Sand is the Soul will launch on Steam this November. Calling it a combination of Bloodborne, Fighting Fantasy, and Double Dragon, the game is a 2D side-scrolling RPG with a world influenced by the Victorian era. At first blush, Sand is the Soul looks to be a dark throwback to games like Streets of Rage. However, there is more beneath the hood....

Warner Bros. Interactive Enteratinment’s Smash-like fighting game may soon see a familiar, evil face. The game’s roster is already full of well-known characters from multiple franchises, but a slip-up may have revealed that both Gandalf and Sauron are on the way to MultiVersus. Twitter user @DwonkT noticed this in an official tweet from the MultiVersus account. The account showed an image revealing the Trophy’s Edge map and its alternative version. However, the image for Trophy’s Edge 2 shows something sinister in the water’s reflection....

Jeep is one of the iconic brands in the SUV industry. Not only is it a vehicle, but it is a way of life for many people. The sharp lines and iconic grill are instantly recognizable to everyone on the road. But until now, Jeep has been relatively quiet in the EV market, focusing more on off-road and utilitarian vehicles. © NeydtStock/Shutterstock.com However, that changed last year when Jeep announced a new lineup of electric SUVs for 2023....

Throughout the last 13 years, the Sonic games have seen very mixed success. It began in 2006, with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog. This game was envisioned as the next generation Sonic experience, but would go down in infamy as the worst-rated main series title in the series. From there, SEGA tried desperately to regain the franchise’s magic. Sadly, the company released a number of blunders. A few of these mishaps include the two storybook titles, Sonic Lost World, and most recently Sonic Forces....

2021 is a very important year for Sega as it is the 30th anniversary of their most beloved mascot in the gaming world: Sonic The Hedgehog. The Japanese company shared via Twitter that, in the late afternoon (European time), an important Live stream will be broadcast on its Twitch channel with “something special” waiting for us. The most obvious hypothesis would be the celebration of the aforementioned anniversary of the blue porcupine, perhaps with a remastered of some historical title or even a new iteration....

Following a few vague teases (and some decidedly more specific teases) that Sam “Serious” Stone was prepping to return for another bout of explosive FPS action in the near future, publisher Devolver Digital has finally revealed all. A new standalone expansion for Serious Sam 4, titled Siberian Mayhem, comes to Steam on 25th January. Siberian Mayhem, as you might already have deduced, sees Sam trading the comparatively sun-drenched climes of Serious Sam 4 for some chillier action as he journeys across the Russian wilderness in search of the traitorous General Brand - an adventure featuring five “massive” new missions across Arctic coastlines, desolate forests, abandoned villages, and a ghost town....

It’s been a long time coming but fans of her series are going to have wait until 2019 to get their hands on Shenmue 3. Deep Silver has pushed back the game’s release until 2019 to polish the game and give it a solid release window. The brief statement reads: There was a further comment on the release date change from Yu Suzuki: The release was planned for the second half of 2018 after it was delayed last year....

Kung-fu action game Sifu has sold over 1m copies in its first three weeks. Sloclap’s game has been criticised by some for its high difficulty, though it appears many players have stepped up to the challenge. As previously reported, only 34 percent of players had completed the tricky second level judging by trophy stats a week after launch. Sloclap has revealed now that over 45 percent of players have now finished the level....

Up until now, The Sims 4 has presented itself as an enthusisatically flexi-sexual world, where every Sim is open to at least considering all attempts to woo and WooHoo. That’ll soon change, however, with an imminent update giving players the opportunity to define their Sims’ sexual orientations in a way that better reflects the real world. Arriving as part of a free update accompanying The Sims 4’s next major expansion, High School Years, which launches on 28th July, the feature will add a new Sexual Orientation tab to the game’s Create-A-Sim screen....

It’s been a while since we last heard of a big update from Skyblivion, but we finally have a release window for the long-awaited modding project. Unfortunately, the date for Skyblivion is far into the future. But since this is such a massive undertaking, the wait time is understandable. Skyblivion has its release date set for sometime in 2025 at the very latest. There’s a small chance we could see it sooner, but it’s a date to look forward to regardless....

Nintendo may be set to follow-up the success of its Nintendo Classic Mini with a SNES Mini, Eurogamer has reported. Sources have told Eurogamer that the console is in development and scheduled to be released later this year. Apparently this new classic console is one of the main reasons Nintendo has also decided to no longer continue producing the NES Mini. The NES Mini was a big hit for the company last year, with stockists finding it difficult to meet demand, so hopefully the SNES Mini won’t have the same issues....

When Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts launched in late 2019, I was pleasantly surprised. CI Games’ offering provided a solid experience that combined stealth and FPS action, somewhat reminiscent of the Metal Gear Solid, Hitman, and Sniper Elite franchises. All Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 had to do was follow its predecessor’s formula and add some improvements where necessary. Unfortunately, the recently released sequel does regress ever so slightly. It mixes sandbox-style exploration with instances that make you feel that it’s an “arcadey” shooter....

Sonic Frontiers will be released across all platforms on 8th November this year. A new story trailer for the game was shown at the Gamescom Opening Night Live, despite the release date leaking before the show. And that trailer has it all: giant robots, cute companion robots, creepy young child robots, and the return of Amy Rose who appears to have been kidnapped. Check it out below. Watch on YouTube...
