Subnautica 2 has been a massive success, but its player base remains divided on how much violence should be in the game.

Thomas Was Alone and Amberspire developer Bithell Games has announced its next project, a non-linear horror game in which the vampire King of England tasks you with assassinating his enemies. Set in an alternate timeline during the late '90s--so you're probably safe from hearing Hanson's MMMBop on repeat--Vampirium 1997 is billed as an immersive sim boiled to its essence by game director Mike Bithell. "Dracula is King of England. At his command, master your dark gifts to assassinate his enemies and secure his vampiric empire. Infiltrate locked-down locations, adapt and survive in living enviro

Chainsmoker Cat combines Trainspotting with Beavis and Butthead to mixed success.

Fans of life-simulator games have been eating well lately, as the dominance of The Sims 4 has been challenged by new kids on the block like InZoi and Paralives. While both of these titles are considered to be serious challengers in a cozy genre of living your best life, the team behind Paralives doesn't see itself as a "Sims-killer," preferring instead to view the game as another option in the genre. After all, competition in this field will ultimately benefit players by offering them more choice. "I think having more than one life-sim game makes for such a better experience for players," Para

Earlier this year Paralives released in early access, and so far, things are looking good for the life-sim. The game has proven to be popular since its May launch; the cozy vibes have been praised, and the promise of free post-launch DLC and updates for the lifespan of Paralives continues to be a big selling point. In an industry focused on extracting the maximum amount of cash possible out of every player, it has become the norm--just look at how GTA 6 is locking in-game shops away from players who purchase the standard edition--Paralives' commitment to investing in its players feels refreshi

Only a few weeks after Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations was revealed to the world, Xbox has made deep cuts to developer id Software that could change the studio and their games forever. But for now, players seem to be enjoying the expansion - albeit for one divisive new weapon. Read more

After two and a half years in early access, the Pokemon-like game Palworld has reached 40 million players before its 1.0 release. Developer Pocketpair announced this milestone just days before the game's massive 1.0 update, which brings several major changes to overhaul the game. "Palworld passes 40 million players," the developer said on social media. "Thank you all so much for your incredible support! Over the last two and a half years, Palworld has grown alongside our community." Of course, hitting the 40 million mark doesn't necessarily mean Palworld has sold 40 million copies. Palworld of

Palworld developer Pocketpair has announced the survival game will remain at $29.99 after its price may increase upon leaving early access.

Just like me.

Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis service is ending, announces Square Enix.

Members of Build a Rocket Boy, the development studio behind the often maligned MindsEye, will be picketing outside the studio's Edinburgh offices this Saturday, 11th July. The workers are protesting a fan event the developer is hosting this weekend. Read more

Catherine Laga'aia and Dwayne Johnson star in the live-action version of Disney's Moana, and even sing a new Lin-Manuel Miranda song.

Moana is gorgeous to look at, but it's too faithful to the animated original's storyline (and even camera moves) to offer anything new to the tale. Catherine Laga'aia makes a great bright-eyed protagonist, but Dwayne Johnson can't nail the swaggering demigod Maui's charisma in live-action.

Effectively capturing the vibes of Garfield can be a real challenge to pull off well, but Garfield: Escape from Monday is shaping up to be a worthy addition to the lovable slacker’s library of interactive adventures. Much like the recent Bubsy 4D, Escape from Monday is pretty familiar when it comes to the structure and formula, but that’s seemingly by design, as recapturing the fun of 3D platformers from a simpler time is very much in style these days.

‘It felt like a perfect bookend to the first chapter of my career’ — Tom Holland says The Odyssey is his last chance to ‘play a boy’.

If you've been watching the World Cup or soccer in general, you're surely familiar with Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, and now he's provided a deeper window into his life and specifically his gaming habits. In a "day in the life" video on his YouTube channel (via PureXbox), Haaland began by saying he's a big fan of Xbox, so much so that he even owns the Xbox minifridge and it's not just for show. As you can see in the video, he has it stocked with MTN Dew and Coke. "One day, Xbox, I want them to sponsor me," he said. Now might not be the time, though, as Xbox is facing its own string of maj

This M3GAN spin-off follows a "romance robot" gone berserk.

Subnautica 2's early access journey reaches a new milestone today as developer Unknown Worlds releases the underwater survival sequel's first major update. It's notable in a number of respects; not least because it adds the ability to stun fish - which, while far from the all-out fish murder some players have been begging for, does at least provide a new defensive option for getting out of sticky situations.
