On "N.Y. State of Mind, Nas rapped "Gave another squeeze, heard it click, 'Yo, my shit is stuck!' Tried to cock it, it wouldn't shoot, now I'm in danger. Finally pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber." If I...

The cat's out of the bag, and good thing the cat's got nine lives. Arkane's Deathloop and its endless lather, rinse, repeat cycle is set for next May. Except this isn't shampoo. It's murder and death. Yesterday, the New Zealand PlaySt...

A new update on the New Zealand branch of PlayStation Store has revealed a possible release date for super-cool, time-bending adventure Deathloop. According to the PSN landing page, Arkane Studios' tale of clocks and glocks will launch on P...

Microsoft has owned Bethesda for two weeks now -- at least that's how long it has been since the announcement -- and we're already seeing the effects of the new leadership. (In actuality, maybe Bethesda does some or all of this on its own, ...

Deathloop looks like a playful, energetic, verging-on-out-of-control stealth-action game from the makers of Dishonored, and if you're in the mood for a colorful world of assassins, you'll dig its vibe. During Sony's PS5 Showcase event, Ark...

If you were expecting to play Deathloop this holiday season on your shiny new PlayStation 5 or your beefed-up PC, there's a change of plans – the first-person assassin game is launching in Q2 2021. Arkane Lyon shared the news on Twitt...

It has been about exactly one year since we first heard about Arkane's newest project, so now it's time for the second look. The PlayStation 5 stream is the home to the second Deathloop trailer. The story's still the same: Rival assas...

Arkane's throwing a reverse birthday party of sorts, the kind where it turns a year older but you're the one getting presents.  The first game Arkane Studios ever made, Arx Fatalis, is free on PC right now. The reason for the giveaway...

It's been long known that Valve contracted Arkane Studios in the mid-'00s to make a new Half-Life game. However, little was actually known about that project except that it was set in Ravenholm and that Valve canceled production befor...

Ravenholm. We don't go there. But, foolishly, we were going to go back there. In hindsight, this feels like an extreme case of getting ahead of yourself. Back in 2006, Arkane Studios (before it became a Zenimax subsidiary) was contract...

Creation is fueled by passion, so it should surprise no one that two years after resigning from Arkane, the studio's co-founder has fallen back into making the type of games Arkane excels at. Raphael Colantonio and Julien Roby -- former Ark...

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has become an incredibly divisive game since its release in 2017. While it brought some hefty and frenetic gunplay with excellent presentation, the actual gameplay aspects took a backseat to a poorly written...

Sitting down next to my temporary sister in Bethesda's booth at E3, we shake hands. He takes control of Jess while I get to handle Soph. We're the twin daughters of legendary Nazi fighter B.J. Blazkowicz, and he's raised us right. Which is ...

Arkane Studios' next game isn't another Dishonored, it's a new property called Deathloop. It should still feel familiar, though. Bethesda announced Deathloop at its E3 press conference with a stylish cinematic trailer (embedded above)...

We can expect Arkane Studios to continue making immersive games that prioritize "deep world building and environmental storytelling," but Dishonored? The series is on hiatus. Speaking to VG247 at QuakeCon, lead designer Ricardo Bare said th...

It's clear Arkane Studios isn't done with Prey, one of our favorite games of last year. A couple of months ago, the developer posted teaser-y images and hinted at an announcement scheduled for June 10 (the same day as Bethesda's E3 press co...

It's Prey Day, and you shouldn't feel bad if you weren't aware. That's because it's seemingly the first ever Prey Day, as it's an occasion that Bethesda now celebrates because March 15, 2032 is when Morgan Yu woke up at the very beginning o...

My first Dishonored: Death of the Outsider playthrough took around eight hours. I poked my head in places off the beaten path and scoured levels for extra bonecharms. Even still, I thought I was moving through the game at a quick pace. That...

Billie Lurk is tired. By the time she takes Dishonored: Death of the Outsider's lead role, the street urchin-turned-assassin has fought harder and lost more than most. Lurk's actions have shaken the world's foundation; with the single flick...

I'm not sure how many of you were out there waiting for a Prey trial on PC, but that's a thing now! As of today, players can get a feel for the first hour on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In the latter two cases, there already was a demo...

Prey has been sitting comfortably on my to-play list. I'm confident I'll like it, but I'm also certain I don't have much patience for weird technical woes and pesky bugs. Arkane has been working to get the game to a better place, and today'...

When we reviewed Prey, we praised (ha!) its open structure. Arkane created an environment where it's possible to do nearly anything and to go nearly anywhere. The Gloo Cannon is an essential tool to this end, as it allows for free-form trav...

Raphael Colantonio has parted ways with Arkane Studios. The company's co-founder and president announced his resignation in a farewell note that was published on Bethesda's site. Colantonio had been the head of Arkane for 18 years. The move...

Arkane Studio's Prey is a sci-fi masterpiece. It's an open-ended game that encourages player expression through intricate systems supported by countless little details that create a sense of life aboard a floating space station.  Throu...

During Bethesda's E3 presentation, the publisher announced that Arkane Studios is currently working on a standalone entry in the Dishonored series titled Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.  The game will star both Daud and Billie ...
