It's hard to believe there was a time when Resident Evil felt like it was on its last legs. But instead, the long-running survival horror series has gone from strength to strength, brand-new instalments building on older stories Capcom is revisiting in remakes of its classic games. And it has now confirmed its upcoming Code: Veronica remake, Resident Evil Veronica, will include story changes to en
A Plague Tale developer Asobo has called Grand Theft Auto 6 an "ogre" as far as its dominance over 2026's release schedule goes. It's the same year its Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy game comes out, and it joins the crush in late August, a couple of months before GTA 6 crashes in. Read more
Guild Wars - that series of popular massively-multiplayer online role-playing games - is named after three legendary in-universe battles, which are foundational to its story. However, two games in and 20 years later, we've still never actually seen one of these battles ourselves. And that doesn't look to be changing with Guild Wars 3. Read more
Wuxia-inspired action game Phantom Blade Zero is arguably one of the most anticipated games of 2026, but no game is as anticipated as Grand Theft Auto 6, as the many calendar shuffles to avoid November have shown. So it was particularly surprising to see Phantom Blade Zero given a release date during June's State of Play showcase that moved it closer to Rockstar's game than most are willing to get
Users of the official RPG Maker forums - a vibrant community hub for the famed game engine - are rushing to save years of valuable discussion and resources following the news of its impending shut-down. Read more

Few games have a history as turbulent as that of 1666: Amsterdam. This is the project Patrice Désilets - the founding director of the Assassin's Creed series - fought Ubisoft for. It was the project that was in development there in some form 13 years ago, until Ubisoft decided to shelve 1666 - as it was known then - and suspend Désilets, prompting a legal battle that he eventually wo
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis made headlines last week not just for its release date trailer, but also for the developers' use of AI during the game's creation. Read more
Sega is hiring up for the Sonic Team, just as the series is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Read more
It didn't take much of this year's Summer Game Fest to realise that, in racing to escape the orbit of GTA 6, the games industry has created a new problem: a September 2026 so packed with releases that it's going to take some dedication - not to mention time and money - for players to get through even a fraction of them all. So it was only a matter of time before someone blinked. Which brings us to
It's been six years since PlayStation nuked its forums, taking with it one of video gaming's most legendary communities - a team of dedicated secret-hunters convinced Fumito Ueda's Shadow of the Colossus held one last mystery, and who invested almost a decade trying to find it. And now, speaking to Eurogamer following the reveal of his latest game Gen Atlas, Ueda has shared his thoughts on the fas
We're just under three months since the release of Crimson Desert, the open-world action RPG from Korean studio Pearl Abyss. The game has continued to break sales records since it first became available for sale, and its developer has today announced a new sales milestone. Read more
I am not a Tomb Raider expert - my memories go about as far back as playing the bulk of the original and its sequel at a friend's house, aged something like seven to 10 years old, and attempting to break free of the same demo disc level for a few too many hours on end. But what I've always taken from my fuzzy recollections of late-90s Lara is that one of classic Tomb Raider's defining traits is it
Bungie may be done updating Destiny 2 forever, but the love players have for the sci-fi loot shooter clearly runs deep. Read more
Two of Ubisoft's smaller studios, Ubisoft Winnipeg, and Ubisoft Belgrade, are being shuttered. Insider Gaming was first to break the news, but reports from Game Developer, and VGC have shed more light on the broader impact. Read more

Frontier Developments has just announced Planet Zoo 2 and the first Jurassic World Evolution 3 expansion, but the developer is already hard at work on its next "construction and management simulation" game. And it isn't a sequel. Read more
Summer might be right around the corner, tempting us out toward sun, sand, and sea, but that isn't stopping Sony from releasing a strong list of PS Plus Premium and Extra games in June that might just tempt you to stay inside. Read more
Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro's oddball roguelike Hotel Barcelona didn't impress us when it dropped last year, but there was something charming and earnest about it. But months later - and many updates later - Swery and White Owl appear to have turned opinion around. Read more
Gears of War: E-Day showed off incredibly well during last Sunday's Xbox Games Showcase. The show opened with a meaty first look at gameplay, before we were later treated to a much deeper dive into the upcoming prequel in a dedicated Direct. Read more
You can really tell that Gears of War: E-Day developer, The Coalition, wants the upcoming third-person shooter to be enjoyed by more than just Gears diehards. In last Sunday's developer Direct, the studio recalled the decision to start development from an empty hard drive. Read more
Gears of War: E-Day developers have reassured fans that multiplayer information is coming soon, following the game's single player-focused Xbox Game Showcase appearance. Read more
In all the excitement surrounding the announcement of Capcom's long-awaited Resident Evil Code Veronica remake last week, it was pretty easy to miss the fact its do-over has had a bit of a name change. And if you've been wondering why that might be, the publisher has now explained the reason it's newly monikered Resident Evil Veronica is 'Code Veronica' no more. Read more
When Microsoft revealed that Halo: Campaign Evolved last year, I balked at its claim that this would be "a faithful yet modernised remake of Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign". How could it be? It's made in Unreal Engine 5, very few of the original team is left at what is now Halo Studios, and the devs dared to tinker with the controls. I made my views very clear. I even cited examples from the very
If you saw Resident Evil Veronica's announcement trailer during last week's Summer Game Fest, you might reasonably assume it'll be continuing the modern series' forays into first-person horror. However, Capcom has now confirmed its Code Veronica remake is hewing more closely to the original, and will once again be played from a classic third-person perspective. Read more
It wouldn't be a Fable preview if I wasn't at least a little bit wary of encouraging you to get your hopes up. But, forgive me, I'm going to. I've seen a good half hour of continuous gameplay and, although it comes with plenty of caveats, it really was fantastic. Playground Games' Fable reboot looks to be silly, crass, British, beautiful, systemic, and maybe a little overambitious. In other words
One of the most popular ways for Steam users to charge their store wallets is through the purchase of gift cards. For years, Steam has allowed players to purchase gift cards in different denominations, which they could then redeem for their value on the store. Read more

This year's Summer Game Fest was packed full of plenty of great reveals, but for my money, Guild Wars 3 was one of the biggest bombshells.
