Nintendo’s lawsuit against accessory manufacturer Genki, which earlier this year debuted a mock-up Switch 2 unit before the console had actually been officially unveiled, has come to an end. Back in May, Nintendo filed a copyright claim against Genki, when it accused the manufacturer of “capitalising” on demand for Switch 2 news and giving “contradictory […]
Japanese racehorse Haru Urara, who inspired a character of the same name in popular gacha game Umamusume: Pretty Derby, has passed away. Haru Urara was 29 when she passed.

Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves has said he would love to reprise the role of Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2.

Bethesda has hidden a secret message in a social media post ostensibly marking Starfield’s second anniversary. It’s only 12 seconds long, and starts pretty much as you’d expect, but halfway through the video teaser, the music and visuals are interrupted, the black/blue palette is replaced by yellow and brown, and we see snippets of black […]
Back in 1993, a little-known game called Doom came out. It wasn’t the first game to offer shooting in first-person, but it did popularise the genre. The games that followed became known as Doom-clones (often because they used the same engine), and it wasn’t until the likes of GoldenEye, Half-Life, Halo, and more developed the […]
Amazon’s God of War TV series will commence filming in March 2026.

82 per cent of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Steam reviews may be positive, but it seems the adoration hasn’t been universal, with hundreds of Chinese-speaking players slamming Team Cherry for issues with the sequel’s translations. It’s been such a problem, in fact, that even though Silksong’s reviews are chiefly either Very or Overwhelming Positive when you […]
Roblox is investing heavily in AI to assist users with game development, while also increasing the amount of money they can earn. The news comes as part of the Roblox Developers Conference, where the platform also unveiled its new TikTok-style Moments feed of short-form videos taken directly from Roblox games. Roblox now boasts an average […]
Silksong is real. It’s finally here. I’ve played about seven hours of it already. Whether it’s exploring the first few screens of the world and happening upon Bone Bottom or plucking away at the first real test of a fight against Lace, the game uses the same formula as Hollow Knight and wields it to […]
Two years on from FM25’s initial announce, we finally have our first proper look at actual gameplay from Football Manager 26, the game that supplanted it after FM25’s troubled and ultimately cancelled development.

She’s a […]
When IO Interactive first announced it was uptaking work on what was then known as ‘Project 007’, the internet collectively cheered. There was one practically unanimous reaction: this is a match made in heaven. I agree – it really is. Except it isn’t. Except it is. Such is the strange, fluid nature of the Bond […]
Fighting game players are up in arms following news that RTS – a gaming talent agency and owner of the Evo tournament series – has been acquired by the Saudi Arabian mega city project Qiddiya.

There seems to be no escaping AI these days.

Even the transcription tool my friends and I use in our D&D game often delivers a […]
The Cyberpunk 2077 team is teasing something for this Thursday, 4th September.

Overwatch 2 has “enacted” over 23,000 “actions” against cheaters after rolling out a new system to find and detect players who use mouse and keyboard in console lobbies, a practice known as ximming. While “enacted” doesn’t necessarily mean all 23,000 accounts were banned outright, Blizzard says that brings the overall total of banned accounts to […]
The Mortal Kombat 2 movie was set to hit cinemas on October 24th, but it has now been delayed by several months to May 15th, 2026.

This post revealed a new feature called Villainy – a player-choice driven system that modifies who’ll become an antagonist throughout the game. […]
Let’s kick off with a confession: I never really rated 2003’s Kirby Air Ride. I’m well aware that some regard it as a GameCube classic, but I’m not one of them. When a sequel, Kirby Air Riders, closed out the big Switch 2 blow-out Nintendo Direct, my reaction was rather apathetic. A sequel to that […]

Plenty of Left 4 Dead-style co-op hoard shooters have come and gone throughout the years. This includes the quickly forgotten spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead series, Back 4 Blood and Remedy’s recently released attempt, FBC Firebreak. Remember FBC Firebreak? Anyone? Anyone? That one might still find an audience after planned updates, but it’s […]
Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto has called comparisons of the upcoming Silent Hill f to soulslike games “disingenuous”, insisting “a lot of these things we actually pulled from classic Silent Hill titles”.

People are getting ready for Hollow Knight: Silksong in the very best way possible – by replaying the original, Hollow Knight, in record numbers.

Bungie CEO Pete Parsons has stepped down from his position after over two decades at the studio. Parsons has been much-criticised by fans and employees alike in recent years, in particular following multiple rounds of layoffs at the studio.

The creator of Stardew Valley – Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone – has revealed he’s never made any money directly from in-game crossovers. Instead, Barone agreed to implement these updates because he’s a fan of the games, or thought players would like them.

Path of Exile 2 developer Grinding Gear Games had previously and optimistically said a 1.0 full release might happen this year. GGG gave it a 65 percent chance of happening when I spoke with the studio in March. But those ambitions have now been ruled out. Speaking after a presentation for the incoming Third Edict […]
Way back in 2016, I downloaded and played the first Nioh public alpha. Team Ninja, the veteran action game developers behind Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, working on a game that took inspiration from Dark Souls, was too much of a perfect idea to ignore. Within 10 minutes of playing that alpha – which […]
It’s Gamescom Opening Night Live time, and that means Geoff Keighley’s back and ready to dish out loads of gaming news and information.

Movement, meaning and mindfulness combine in Giant Squid’s latest, a game of free-form expression and flow. What do we actually mean, when we call a game rewarding? I reckon typically it’s one of two things. First you have games that reward you for playing them well: rewards are given in return for achievement or superlative […]
In news unlikely to surprise you, modders have already rolled back the “downgraded game experience” introduced with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers’ latest patch, 1.5, for PC players. While the Steam rating was already ‘mixed’, players have wasted no time sharing their dismay, complaining in Steam reviews that the developers “sacrificed the original game’s vision to appeal […]
At first blush, it’d be easy to take Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days as just another third-person action shooter of the Xbox 360 era – a period absolutely replete with such games. To be honest, that description is certainly true of its predecessor – a game probably now more broadly remembered for its role […]
Animal rights campaign group PETA is calling on Nintendo to remove Mario Kart World’s Cow’s nose ring. In a statement, PETA said no real-world cow would sport Cow’s “goofy grin” if they were forced to wear a ring, “a tool of cruelty that causes lasting pain and discomfort”, and wrote to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa […]
It’s been 22 years since the last home console F-Zero game (not counting the handheld spin-offs and 2023’s F-Zero 99), but with the launch of Nintendo’s Switch 2 we finally got a chance to revisit the GameCube’s outstanding F-Zero GX. Despite some wonky controls, it’s a game that still stands up today. No wonder Nintendo […]
Sonic the Hedgehog isn’t loved by everyone, but most people can agree that the music in his games is generally top-tier stuff. We expect the soundtrack to the upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will be stellar, and Sega has released a brand new video that highlights six of the tunes in the game. The video below, […]
Everyone loves Vampire Survivors, the budget-priced, super moreish bullet-hell game from Poncle.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has today received a new patch on PC, offering improved performance and much-needed balance adjustments to tweak some of its infuriatingly cheap difficulty.

Are you the sort of player that would rather drop a game altogether than simply bump the difficulty down (if such an option exists?)

The Silent Hill fandom is seemingly split once again, this time over Silent Hill f’s “soulslike” combat.

But while we already knew the combat would have a “heavier […]
GOG has launched an all-new project to raise awareness of censorship in gaming: FreedomToBuy.Games.

Cloud Chamber, the studio tasked with reviving the decade-dormant BioShock series, has reportedly failed an internal review with 2K Games execs, resulting in a leadership shakeup.

Now, Sony is suing Tencent […]
It doesn’t sound like Bob Odenkirk wants to play nicely with Nintendo’s moustachioed Jack of all trades Mario. Speaking with Eurogamer’s sister site IGN at San Diego Comic-Con, Odenkirk said that he would, err, “kill” Mario, which sounds quite extreme. Mario Party Switch 2 May Be Fun, but Is It Just an Overpriced Gimmick? Watch […]

Final Fantasy 11’s biggest server has been closed to new players by Square Enix, as it’s suffering from high congestion due to the game’s popularity.

Following yesterday’s cheeky teaser trailer, the Mortal Kombat 2 movie’s ready for its full reveal, with two-and-a-half minutes of silliness, a little bit of splatter, and plenty of Johnny Cage.

Valve has introduced new – and worryingly vague – guidelines aimed at the adult-only game development community, forbidding content that may “violate the rules and standards” set by credit card companies, internet network providers, and more.

Ken Levine has revealed his upcoming game, Judas, will be an “old-school” and “traditional” single-player adventure. It’s been 11 years since BioShock Infinite, and on the surface, Judas seems to be a BioShock game in all but name, with gunplay and elemental powers in an offbeat alternate universe setting. And while that is essentially what […]
Peggle is not particularly old. Intellectually, at least, I know that. But it comes from an era that, despite being relatively recent, still feels extremely distant. I could tell you that Peggle was released in 2007 – I just checked – but that’s not the best way of explaining how much time has passed in […]
Resident Evil Survival Unit was only unveiled last week, but already franchise owner Capcom is pulling back the curtain to give us our first look at the mobile strategy game.

Ghost Town – the spooky, 80s-set VR puzzle-adventure from the studio behind the acclaimed The Room series – is a genuine treat, and one that’s poised to shake off its former Meta Quest exclusivity very soon. Developer Fireproof Games has announced Ghost Town’s paranormal delights will be available on PC via Steam VR from […]
Ghost of Tsushima’s gorgeous PlayStation 5 sequel Ghost of Yōtei is inching ever-closer to release, and ahead of its October arrival, developer Sucker Punch has shared its best look yet at what the revenge-soaked open-world action-adventure will bring – including, it turns out, a lo-fi beats mode for a more soothing saunter through Ezo. […]
WipEout is one of the original PlayStation’s most important games released during the launch period – its style, speed and challenge made a strong statement against the competition.

Activision has pulled the PC Game Pass version of Call of Duty: WW2 offline while it investigates an unspecified “issue” some reports claim is a remote code execution exploit that’s left some players grappling with app pop-ups, PC shut downs, and even screens full of pornography. Call of Duty: WW2 made its PC […]
I’ll never forget CES 2017. The year before I started at Digital Foundry, Razer stole the show with a triple-screen gaming laptop prototype called Project Valerie. Eight years on, I’m using a similar setup to spearhead Eurogamer’s deals coverage for Prime Day, and it’s every bit as fun and functional as I’d hoped back then. […]
Fans eager to hear more about the next Tomb Raider game are still being kept rather in the dark, with Lara Croft popping up in a number of other game collaborations instead of her own standalone adventure. Since Shadow of the Tomb Raider wrapped back in 2018, Lara has appeared in the likes of Netflix’s […]
Apple is appealing the €500m (£429m) fine it received from the European Union in April over the restrictions it places on app developers wishing to use alternative purchase methods, insisting the punitive measure is “far beyond what the law requires”. The European Union hit Apple with the fine after accusing the company of […]
It’s usually the dogs. Every Souls player knows how infuriating they can be as enemies, leaping from behind corners, gnashing their jaws, surprising players before swiftly removing a decent chunk of their health. If you’ve played Bloodborne, you’ll know what I mean. That comparison is how I started a preview of Lies of P before […]
Games have a singular power that I don’t believe any other medium has. Try this: has the meaning of a screenshot ever changed for you the longer you played a game? Have you ever experienced the feeling of looking at a screenshot early on and not understanding it, and then, many hours later, looking again […]
Audiophile headphones don’t have to be super-expensive, as Meze proved with the 99 Neos we reviewed last year. Now the 99 Classics are here, offering a step up in materials – walnut earcups and a spring steel frame – and a subtly different sound signature in exchange for a higher £269/$309 price. The walnut earcups […]
Hello! All this week, as you might have noticed, Eurogamer has been celebrating Pride with another series of features exploring the intersection of queer culture and gaming.

5th July Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing.

It’s been a devastating week for the games industry as hundreds of employees have lost their jobs at Xbox as a result of a round of layoffs across parent company, Microsoft – layoffs that have totaled in excess of 9000. It’s been a depressingly regular story in the video games industry over the past few […]
Mario Kart World will be featured at Summer Games Done Quick 2025. Games Done Quick, for those unaware, is a series of charity video game marathons, which promise “high-level gameplay” from those with a lot more skill and patience than I have.

Sega president and CEO of Sega America and Europe Shuji Utsumi has admitted live-service games are the company’s biggest challenge.

Soon, the fairies will be upon us thanks to The Sims 4’s imminent Enchanted by Nature expansion.

As I leave my little granite box of power generators, fabricators, refineries, and a bookcase – my humble, frequently extended base-for-one in Dune: Awakening – I reflect on the ritual I perform. Check that my equipment has enough durability left, fill a literjon with water, pack a stilltent. I clamber up a sheer rock face, […]
Nintendo has suggested it’s preparing to raise prices across a significant number of Switch products in Canada – including consoles, games, and even Nintendo Switch Online memberships – blaming what it calls “market conditions”.

11 Bit Studios has responded to criticism surrounding its use of generative AI in sci-fi game The Alters, insisting the controversial elements discovered by players were either “temporary” assets “never intended to be part of the final release” or used in a “very limited manner.” 11 Bit, which has also developed the acclaimed […]
The developer behind A Short Hike has shelved development on an RPG but is releasing it as a demo, allowing players to enjoy it nonetheless.

Bandai Namco’s Summer Showcase is set to debut on 2nd July.

When Nintendo fully revealed Switch 2, it also announced the existence of ‘Switch 2 Editions’ – enhanced versions of existing games, upgraded for the new hardware.

Dave the Diver’s In the Jungle DLC has been delayed to 2026. We saw our first peek of In the Jungle at The Game Awards 2024.

In it, Needham justifies the inclusion of sports betting as part of the company’s desire to […]
Monster Hunter Wilds is not having a particularly good time of it over on Steam; thanks to ongoing performance issues and a perceived lack of meaningful content updates, players numbers are routinely dipping below those of the now seven-year-old Monster Hunter World, and recent reviews have tipped the game into Overwhelmingly Negative territory. Amid all […]
Don’t Nod – the developer behind Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Jusant, and the recently-announced Aphelion – is laying off staff from its Montreal office. The number of impacted staff is undisclosed.

There’s some bad-ish news if you’ve been eagerly awaiting developer Nightdive’s System Shock 2 remaster on consoles.

Jurassic World Evolution 3’s unveiling earlier this month drew some mixed responses; there was, for instance, ample excitement over the fact baby dinosaurs will finally be wandering all over the place come its arrival later this year, but less enthusiasm for Frontier Developments’ decision to whip the theme park sim’s scientist avatar art into existence […]
Previously unseen concept art purportedly showing character designs from Warner Bros. Games Montreal’s cancelled Batman: Arkham Knight follow-up Project Sabbath has surfaced online, showing further glimpses of a beardy Bruce Wayne, Damian Wayne, and more.

Over the weekend, Sega accidentally leaked sales figures for a number of its key franchises, revealing – among others – the sales of its open zone game Sonic Frontiers.

The Nintendo Switch 2 represents a pivotal moment for Nintendo’s console strategy, promising generational improvements while maintaining the core philosophy of hybrid gaming for both TV and handheld play.

It’s already been a lengthy journey for developer Toby Fox’s Undertale follow-up Deltarune. The first of its seven planned chapters originally launched in 2018, and there are still three more to go – but we now know fans won’t have too long to wait until the saga continues. According to the most recently released […]
The poor technical state of MindsEye – the debut game from developer Build a Rocket Boy – is well established by this point. The bottom line is that as a £55 or $60 purchase, there is only morbid curiosity in checking it out at present with glaring bugs, low frame-rates and crashes blighting the […]
The Dune: Awakening community is torn right now. In the Deep Desert, roaming hordes of orniphopters (the Dune equivilent of a plane or helicopter) are dominating the end game and making an already dangerous area even more perilous. The thing is, I don’t think this is a bad thing. In fact, I think it’s good […]
EA’s free-to-play Skate reboot is officially gearing up to launch into early access this “summer”, narrowing down its previous “2025” release window.

Everybody loves palpating their turnips; just look at the success of Stardew Valley and its ilk for proof of that.

Just a day after its launch, the Gex Trilogy – which bundles together the cult-classic 90s platformer Gex and its two sequels – has officially been deemed a success. And publisher Limited Run Games is celebrating the occasion by reinstating a conspicuously absent audio feature that should please European series fans no end. […]
Sonic the Hedgehog has been on a redemption arc. It might not feel like the blue blur has ever really left us – and that’s because he hasn’t – but sometimes you need to reach the summit to survey that which has come before. It’s only when we consider Sonic’s current position when directly compared […]
It’s now been five years since Ubisoft’s beleaguered Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake was originally revealed, and a little over a year since the publisher last popped up to remind us all the project was still alive. But here we are again, 12 months on, with another brief update, this time letting […]
With Borderlands 4’s September release inching closer, publisher Take-Two has announced pricing and a variety of special editions for the shooter.

As spotted by Automaton, the developers were compelled to comment after a mistranslated Japanese-to-English subtitle intimated Nier: Automata had been subjected to censorship from Square Enix to meet global standards. GODDESS OF VICTORY: […]
The Alters achieves something tense and new by merging strategy base-building with third-person exploration and a sci-fi story about cloning yourself. But repetition and complicated busywork mar the overall effect. I’ve got a problem: I crash-landed on a strange alien planet and I’m the only one from my crew who survived. I found the large […]
Video game archival is a noble act, especially in this day and age where always-online games vanish when their servers are turned off, or when niche but beloved games disappear alongside the services they’re locked to. There are libraries of indies locked to Apple Arcade, the PS Vita, and elsewhere, never to be played again; […]
The Sims 4 is striding purposefully into the verdant splendour of summer with a new nature-loving expansion, which also happens to mark the return of fairies as a playable Sim-type.

Splitgate 2 game director Ian Proulx has apologised for causing “division in the community” following his controversial Summer Game Fest appearance, in which he wore a MAGA-style “Make FPS Great Again” hat while onstage. Proulx’s Summer Game Fest segment last Friday almost immediately drew criticism from viewers; some felt using the high-profile platform […]
Dune Awakening is out at last, and it’s a strange, wonderful blend of an MMORPG and an open world survival game. This melding of genres results in a game of two halves, weaved together with a rich and deep care for the source material. Funcom, somehow, has managed to juggle these components expertly. The result? […]
The next Call of Duty installment was announced over the weekend, along with its release platforms: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is slated to debut across Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PS4, and PC.

IOI’s upcoming James Bond game has finally got itself an actual name, after years of it being known as Project 007.

Eagle-eyed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have spotted a new feature on the weapon selection menu.
