After revisiting A Way Out a few months ago and just wrapping up It Takes Two over the weekend — it was surprisingly long! — it's been tough to muster my usual enthusiasm for other co-op games. I love teaming up with my girlfrie...

Whether or not you have strong ties to the Hot Wheels brand in 2021, I'd say that based on the first gameplay trailer for Hot Wheels Unleashed, Milestone's upcoming arcade racer could easily still click. The cars look suitably cool, the wi...

Capcom has announced that it will be bringing another bloodsucking bevy of Resident Evil news next week, with the screening of the second Resident Evil Showcase live stream. Taking place on April 15, the online presentation will offer new n...

Well, shoot – another delay. And not necessarily a game I expected to be pushed back again. TT Games planned to wrap up LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga by spring 2021, but as of today, the self-proclaimed "biggest and best-ever LEG...

No Man's Sky just keeps growing, with no sign of stopping. Developer Hello Games announced a new update today called the Expeditions update, which brings a set of challenges in a seasonal format to the space exploration sim. Update 3.3 brin...

I'm beginning to look at the monthly Games with Gold lineups less out of real interest and more out of fleeting morbid curiosity. There's no denying that Xbox has been killing it with the Game Pass library lately... and by "killing it," I ...

If you've been holding off on playing the latest Hitman, this week might be a good opportunity to test the waters. Hitman 3 is getting a free starter pack, which includes two locations and a time-limited trial of Hitman 3's first major loca...

CD Projekt published a series of informational slides on Twitter today, alongside a YouTube video, outlining its future plans for the company and its brands, including The Witcher and Cyberpunk. At the outset, CD Projekt says it plans to ex...

The launch date for Outriders is fast approaching, but before a host of new players descend on the servers, Square Enix and People Can Fly are laying down the law for any would-be cheaters. In a post on the Outriders Steam page, the team la...

Some changes are coming down the pipeline for Xbox Live users. Today, an update to the Xbox Insiders Alpha will remove the Xbox Live Gold requirement for Party Chat, Looking 4 Groups, and multiplayer in free-to-play games. According to the ...

We got a few minor Resident Evil announcements this morning, including news about a Re:Verse open beta in early April and RE7 and Village coming to Stadia, but what about the big 25th anniversary blowout? Are fans going to materialize a Res...

The longer Gotham Knights simmers in my mind, the more I actively want to play it. I have reservations, sure – can WB Games Montréal really juggle co-op and character progression and everything else at this scale? – but e...

We're early enough into 2021 that I'm not burned out on video game news streams, but I'm bracing for impact. You thought last summer's events were too drawn-out? Here, how about a Spring Game Fest. I'm kidding – kind of. But digital s...

During the Square Enix Presents showcase, we got a peek at Black Panther and Wakanda in Marvel's Avengers. It's hard to get excited about a nebulous "later this year" release window, but it's something. The War for Wakanda expansion will u...

Dontnod's original supernatural adventure Life is Strange is getting a remaster this fall alongside Life is Strange: Before the Storm. If you've been looking for a reason to revisit Arcadia Bay, this is it. The remastered versions will be ...

During this morning's Square Enix Presents spring showcase, we got our first (official) look at Life is Strange: True Colors, a new adventure-with-a-twist from Life is Strange: Before the Storm developer Deck Nine. It's launching on Septemb...

[Update: Following yesterday's leak, Focus Home Interactive announced Necromunda: Hired Gun for PC (Steam and Epic), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It's not going to be for everyone, but I'm on-board – it looks fast. And the...

Microsoft has announced that a selection of Bethesda titles have today been bolstered by the developer's FPS Boost technology. Xbox Series X/S owners will be able to take advantage of the free fuel injection, which increases a title's frame...

There are short- and long-term implications with Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media and all of its studios, and we're already starting to see them play out. Unsurprisingly, Xbox Game Pass is getting a lot of Bethesda titles this week ...

As the "first major patch" since launch, today's 3.11 update for Hitman 3 has a slew of additions and changes to pore over, including the newly-unlockable Tactical Turtleneck (look for "The Final Test" in the ICA Facility), new items in two...

Second Extinction, a dinosaur-horde-blasting co-op shooter, reminds me of eating sugary cereal for dinner. It's not something you can pull off on a regular basis, but there's a time and a place, for sure. This would go over well in Game Pa...

I'm always on the lookout for charming co-op adventures, and for a while, I've had my eye on KeyWe, a puzzle-platformer about two bumbling birds who must somehow work in sync to run a postal office. KeyWe was announced as a PC game –...

Microsoft has outdone itself with backward compatibility on Xbox, to the point where – in the absence of regularly scheduled big-hitting exclusives – it's one of the main selling points for the platform. And it gets better: with...

Control left a mark on 2019: I still think about it. It's hard to believe that it came out roughly a year and a half ago, but here we are, a console generation later, and we're still talking about Control. With the PS5 and Xbox Series ...

In one of those unexpected "Oh, right... neat!" moments, MLB The Show 21 is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on April 20, 2021 – and there's even online cross-play and cross-progression. Sony's long-running (and fair...
