Bloober Team released a rather chunky patch for its Silent Hill 2 Remake yesterday, however in the process it appears the studio also introduced a progress breaking bug. Read more
Delta Force: Hawk Ops, the free-to-play tactical FPS and Call of Duty/Battlefield challenger from publisher Tencent, is launching for PC as a global open beta on 5th December this year.
Fallout: Vault 13 - the ambitious mod attempting to remake Fallout 1 in the Fallout 4 engine - has ceased active development in order to "prioritise the well-being of project members", but it'll have the chance to live on when a build is shared with the community soon.
It's been nearly two years since Dave the Diver first surfaced, immediately dazzling the world with his distinctive underwater exploration/sushi restaurant management charms, but developer Mintrocket isn't done yet; the studio has now confirmed a story expansion is on the way, and perhaps even spin-off games for each of Dave's pals.
The Castlevania collaborations keep on coming! Having already made appearances in the likes of Dead Cells, Dead by Daylight, and V Rising, it's now Vampire Survivors turn to meld minds with Konami's classic platform series; developer Poncle's acclaimed minimalist survival RPG is joining in on the Castlevania fun - while still somehow managing to remain doggedly vampire-free - with a massive new paid expansion launching on Halloween.
"Series X 6nm! YESSSSSS! We found it!" Not my words, but the excited exclamations of Austin Evans, with a brand-new video that tears down the new disc-less edition of the Xbox Series X, revealing what's generally believed to be the first major console revision for Microsoft since 2020. It's an interesting contrast with Sony, who have revised the PlayStation 5 annually, moving to a 6nm processor way back in 2022 and delivering a further-revised 'Slim' edition a year later. 6nm silicon brings with it apparent cost-reductions and efficiency improvements - but this is no game-changing update in the way it was with the Xbox One S and the PS4 Slim. In concert with a $599 Xbox Series X 2TB, a $449 disc-less Series X and a $699 PlayStation 5 Pro, the days of console cost-reductions are clearly over and the whole nature of what next-gen will actually be is up for debate.

I knew that the Fallout showrunners were keen to get the ball rolling on a second season of Amazon's hit show, but will admit I am surprised by how soon filming is going to start. Read more
I've always found the Lego games rather endearing, with their slapstick humour, often eclectic array of blocky setpieces and those wonderfully destructible environments. I challenge you to find me someone who doesn't delight in destroying a once perfectly arranged pile of bricks in the guise of a cannon, tree or anything else really, just for the sheer joy of watching those objects burst into a wave of collectable studs. I bet you can't. Read more
After years of experimenting, Sega has now established two types of 3D Sonic level. The first are the open zones of Sonic Frontiers that give the hedgehog the space and freedom to unleash his speed, the sort of wide open design only possible (just!) on modern hardware. The second are the tightly-focused, mostly linear stages that evolve the side-scrolling original games into 3D rollercoasters with dizzyingly shifting perspectives, a design first popularised in the Sonic Adventure games.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 almost upon us (or already upon us depending on your geographical location), analysts have been weighing in on the impact it's likely to have on Xbox Game Pass, with some reckoning it could bring as many as 4m new members to Microsoft's subscription service, albeit at a cost of up to 6m sales.
Remember Balatro's free Friends of Jimbo collaboration update back in August, which saw the acclaimed poker-themed rogue-like adding a bunch of card cosmetics inspired by popular video games? Well it turns out there was more where that came from, and players can now adorned their desks with cameos from the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Stardew Valley.
Following Blizzard's announcement earlier this year it was considering bringing 6v6 matches to Overwatch 2, having ditched them when it transitioned from Overwatch 1 to its sequel, the studio has now made their reintroduction official: 6v6 will come to Overwatch 2 in the form of two test modes next season, and Blizzard says it'll be 'watching the results closely'
Sony has announced a number of changes to its PlayStation Stars reward programme which, among other things, will see earned points expire after a year instead of the 24 months they remained available previously.
