Recently, Reddit exploded within a chaos of rumors that potentially point to a new IP under the Rockstar banner. Discovered by user RedArrow544 and posted in r/GamingLeaksAndRumors, two relatively strange images may yet identify not only an upcoming announcement but also a completely new experience. This raises a million questions, of course: Could Rockstar be hiding something completely game-changing, maybe even some next-gen content? Is it really a brand-new IP to add to their brand?...

Depending on your feelings for the multiplayer component of Resident Evil 5, this news may be seen as a blessing or a curse. A document has been forwarded to Kotaku suggesting that Slant Six Games, the makers of SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Confrontation are currently working on a multiplayer action title codenamed ‘Resident Evil: Raccoon City.’ This certainly isn’t the announcement of an upcoming Resident Evil 6 that many may have been hoping for, but it does mean more RE....

Jagex added the new Archaeology skill to RuneScape last year. Archaeology is a lore-focused gathering skill that details the history of the gods, ancient societies, and Gielinor’s past. Alongside Archaeology, Jagex also introduced a new artifact into RuneScape called the Tetracompass. There are several reasons a player may want to farm Tetracompasses. From the allure of earning valuable rewards to the consistent experience earned, completing Tetracompasses offers an alternative method of training Archaeology....

“Maybe my life does have a higher purpose that’s more than just killing people?” Santa Clarita Diet season three continues to prove that the show is one of those very special series that keeps on getting more interesting and rich as time goes on. The series evolves at the rate of highly concentrated prestige drama, but it’s a comedy about the undead, family values, and real estate. Ever since the minute in the pilot where Drew Barrymore’s Sheila Hammond coats her husband Joel (and the better part of their kitchen) with her innards and viscera, it’s been clear that this show is something different....

It was in 1899 when German poet Ludwig Jacobowski scribbled, “Do not cry because [things] are past! Smile because they once were.” It’s safe to say that Jacobowski never knew a 21st century entertainment executive or the vigilant fanbases they must placate. After all, we are living in an era where even the concept of sequels and trilogies has been supplanted in mass media pop culture by the prospect of “shared universes....

About three hours into Scathe, I made the decision to turn off the in-game dialogue. It wasn’t over poor voice acting, however. A first-person shooter set in a hellish maze, Scathe places you as a messenger of death unleashed by a celestial “god” to track down and face his diabolical twin brother. The two beings chatter away as you face the hordes of Hell. One typically explains the game, while the other playfully taunts you....

It’s not clear exactly what this “Super Game” could be, but Sega has high hopes for its existing and past IPs, including Sonic. Watch on YouTube Sonic Frontiers - Combat & Upgrades The report includes a message from Sega CEO Haruki Satomi in which he discusses the strategy behind this “Super Game” and the aim to attract streamers....

SEGA Mega Drive Classics is on its way to PS4 and Xbox One this spring, featuring over 50 nostalgia-scented retro hits from the legendary 16-bit console. The publishing giant has yet to confirm a full list of games included in the set, but suffice to say that all your favourite childhood memories are featured, including Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage II, Shining Force, Toe Jam & Earl, and many more....

The sequel to Seth Dickinson’s epic geopolitical fantasy debut The Traitor Baru Cormorantis out next week. The Monster Baru Cormorant will pick up where its predecessor ended, following Baru Cormorant in her quest to bring down the Empire of the Masks from the inside. Join the Den of Geek Book Club! Ahead of its release, Den of Geek had a chance to talk to Dickinson about the challenges facing Baru Cormorant in the sequel, his prose style, writing about empire in a world still structured around imperialism, mental health, and advice for aspiring authors....

Upcoming Kung Fu brawler Sifu has been confirmed for a February 22 release date by developer Sloclap. The news came during last night’s Gamescom Opening Night Live broadcast by way of a new trailer. The footage also revealed several new locations you’ll be fighting through as you seek revenge for your family’s murder. These include the rooftops of the city slums and an art museum to name just two. It was also revealed during the show that there’ll be exclusive pre-order content for those who secure their copy early....

As one of TheGamer’s resident Englishmen, I’ve become used to some of the old clichés about British people. We’re a little pale and moldy from the constant rain, we have a lust bordering on mania for tea, and when holidaying overseas, we will not learn the language. Instead, we’ll just repeat our requests or comments again, louder and more slowly this time. The thing about bad teeth? That’s a myth. But the language business?...

MKLeo is only 19 years old, but may have already cemented his place in the pantheon of all-time competitive Super Smash Bros. greats. Not only is he the number-one ranked Smash Ultimate player, a position he’s held onto uncontested for a significant amount of time, but he’s maintained that ranking through dominant tournament play that has seen him place first in the majority of major-level tournaments in which he’s competed. That said, on February 21st, MKLeo announced that he’ll be a free agent for the first time since 2017 (well before his Smash Ultimate reign began) after parting ways with the Echo Fox organization....

The Soul Calibur series is one of the most enjoyable battle-based franchises in gaming history, providing hours of endless fun to those who have played it. Anyone who has played it knows that the franchise often brings in guest stars. While there is always a steady mainstay roster who has been part of the franchise from the beginning, it’s the guest stars that gamers really get excited, creating fantasy battles that bring a variety of different worlds together....

The MCU Multiverse is Fake (for now) That Mysterio was almost exactly like his comic self was the real twist. We’re used to Marvel taking liberties with their villains, much like what we got with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 and sympathetic Skrulls in Captain Marvel. Using Mysterio’s back story about another universe is a cute misdirection in itself, what with Spider-Man’s last starring role being in a movie about a multiversal team-up....

Neil Patrick Harris, an actor well known for his role as Carl Jenkins in Starship Troopers, has just been confirmed as the host of 2010 Spike TV VGAs. Harris, who is nominated for his voice acting in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, is a classy, clever, and generally pretty funny guy, and will likely make this year’s VGAs the best yet. 13 world premieres are said to be occurring at VGAs this, and hopefully Neil can help pass the time between announcements easily....

Brink and Gears Tactics developer Splash Damage has revealed it’s working on a new game in an original sci-fi universe. The British studio made the announcement while encouraging potential developers to come work at the studio on the new project. The post on the website reads “We’ve loved working with established IPs like Wolfenstein, Gears of War, and Halo over our 20-year history, but we’re eager to create another world of our own like Brink, Outcasters, and Dirty Bomb....

Still holding out for Spotify to come to Xbox One? It might be time to start giving up hope… Spotify has told fans that it is currently “focused” on its “exclusive partnership with PlayStation” and that it doesn’t have any details about a release for the app on Microsoft’s console. Tweeting over the weekend, Spotify support said: “Right now we’re focused on our exclusive partnership with PlayStation, we don’t have any info regarding other consoles,” later adding that it would let its developers know that an Xbox One release is something fans would “like to see”....

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released a new video about content coming in the next update, while the game passed a relevant milestone in registered accounts. Specifically, the number of registered accounts just passed 4 million, having reached 4,005,821 at the moment of this writing. As usual, we should keep in mind that it’s known that not all of them are paying players. The number includes free accounts created for a variety of reasons, including Free Fly events like the one that recently concluded....
