Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios blew our collective mind with the sheer scale and depth in its role-playing masterpiece, but the studio has plans for a game so gargantuan, it may very well make Baldur’s Gate 3 look tiny. Prior to development on Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian CEO Swen Vincke was already planning out the company’s future, and this included what he calls “the very big RPG that will dwarf them all.” Speaking to GameSpot at GDC, Vincke explained that Larian’s next game also won’t a…

No Rest For The Wicked--the action-RPG from Ori developer Moon Studios--will be available to play very soon. The studio has revealed it’s coming to Steam Early Access on April 18, giving players the chance to check out its animation- and timing-based combat system, “soft class” system, and customizable hub city.

If you watched only one run from 2024’s Awesome Games Done Quick event, it was almost certainly Peanut Butter the dog playing Gyromite--putting ROB to shame with his flawless navigation in the pursuit of victory and cheese. Training a dog to do anything isn’t easy, and training a Shiba Inu to do anything is even more of a challenge, but streamer and longtime speedrunner JSR_ knew that his furry friend was up to the challenge. He was so sure of it, in fact, that the two spent nine months training…

GameSpot’s staff made some bold guesses for what to expect from the industry this year.

Stormgate just recently moved into its closed beta period, but developer Frost Giant Studios has a whole lot more to share. As part of The Game Awards 2023, the studio unveiled a new story and gameplay trailer with Shang-Chi and Barbie star Simu Liu. Not only is Liu featured in the trailer, but he’ll also be a playable character in the game named Warz, who is part of the Infernals faction. Liu is himself a big real-time-strategy fan and made an in-person appearance at The Game Awards to deliver…

Mecha Break--a competitive mech-action game that also includes a 48-player battle royale mode--was announced at The Game Awards 2023. In the announcement trailer, we get a sense for the game’s flashy tone, which takes clear influence from Gundam and Zone of the Enders while also featuring extremely fast combat that should make it a blast in multiplayer. The trailer, which features a few different combat scenes, sees a mech soaring through the air, firing off barrages of missiles and narrowly avo…

From the original NES tour of Dracula’s castle to the modern era of whip-cracking action, these are our picks for the best Castlevania games of all time.

2024, much like the year before it, looks like it’s going to be packed with a huge variety of games--both from established franchises like Destiny and Final Fantasy alongside brand-new games from developers of all sizes. The new year hasn’t even begun yet, but we are already getting a sense of how packed it’s going to be, and there are several dates we’re circling on our calendars for when we might get “sick” with an “illness.” Keeping track of the games releasing in 2024 on your own is impossib…

Nintendo systems have gotten some very odd peripherals, and Nintendo even made a few of these in-house.
