Look, I'll level with you: I was rubbish at Guns of Eschaton during my recent hands-on time. There are some very obvious reasons for that - it's a hard game that doesn't currently especially explain itself very well, for one. But it's a distinct enough riff on the familiar Soulslike formula, classic campfire respawns here mingling with Weird West-inspired first-person shooting, that it just takes…

Putting 'legacy' in the title of your game naturally encourages considerations about what that legacy might be – and that, in turn, invites thoughts about its identity. (And perhaps 'supremacy' and 'ultimatum' if you're a big Jason Bourne fan.) It might sound silly to say of a game with some of the most impressive faces and places you'll see this – or any – year. But to me, A Plague Tale is spiri…

The power of the Nintendo Switch 2 definitely knows its bounds, but that hasn't stopped Nintendo and its fellow publishers from trying to push the handheld device to its limits by porting some of the more demanding and gargantuan of games to the console. The release of Elden Ring : Tarnished Edition is one example of that ambition. I've only been able to spend about ten hours with it so far, whic…

CD Projekt Red properly revealed new Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past yesterday during Opening Night Live, confirming the new playable location as Letten, the place Geralt's best friend bard pal Dandelion comes from. But where exactly is Letten on the map? It's bloody hard to find. Read more

Crimson Desert Enhanced was among the more surprising reveals of Gamescom Opening Night Live . Not because it was a trailer for a game that's already available, but that it was justified when the trailer ran through the new additions in Enhanced. Read more

Tides of Annihilation is a very stylish, combo-heavy, Simon Says game. It's a mishmash of mythologies and action game tropes, and while I feel as though its teeters on the edge of messiness, it proved quite the thrill on the Gamescom show floor. Read more

Grinding Gear Games made a surprise Path of Exile 2 announcement at Gamescom Opening Night Live yesterday. The developer confirmed when the game's long-awaited 1.0 release will be. Read more

Who was your first choice for romance in The Witcher 3 ? Sure, everyone knows about Triss and Yen, but there's also Keira, Sasha, Jutta an Dimun, Shani, Sylvia… the list goes on. And it sure looks like, in the upcoming expansion Songs of the Past, Geralt is going to be able to add at least one more name to that list. Read more

Last night, CD Projekt Red showed off the first footage we've seen for The Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past - new content for the game launching some 11 years after the base game was released. The expansion takes us to a new location, Letten, a bucolic country very far from the conflicts and politics that dominate the rest of the continent Geralt calls home. But all is not as it seems in Le…

Related: the Complete Edition of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is now available on Steam for the first time. Read more

One of the bigger Gamescom Opening Night Live pre-show reveals was Humankind 2, the sequel to Amplitude's Civilization-like 4X game from 2021 . The trailer didn't feature much gameplay, rather a swiftly moving cinematic montage of Earth through humanity's ages, and it immediately sparked suspicions of gen-AI use because of the way it looks.

Earlier this year, publisher Deep Silver and developer 4A Studios published a blog post outlining its vision for Metro 2039. The studio revealed the game - being developed primarily in Ukraine amid the continued Russian invasion - is darker and focuses on the "cost of silence, the horrors of tyranny, and the price of freedom" . How could it not be? The developers turn up to work every day not kno…
