Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered resurrects a game that fuses several legendary names into one particularly bizarre and brash third-person shooter. The 2011 original brought together Killer7 mastermind Goichi 'Suda 51' Suda, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, and Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. The game that resulted bears striking aspects of all its creators, making it a rather unique prospect - and one unashamed, even excessive, in its bawdiness in a way that is certain to split opinion. At Gamescom, I asked Suda and Mikami what made them want to bring it back now, and if more might follow. Read the rest of the story...

A Callisto Protocol roguelike is, frankly, the last thing I expected to come out this year. The ***** Space spiritual successor was quite the debut from Striking Distance Studios, so ****** me surprised when the team announced Redacted. Set in the same universe as the big-budget horror game, Redacted is a very different ******. The scares are replaced with infinite replayability, the action is ramped up, and there's a punk-rock aesthetic to boot. Taking place in The Callisto Protocol's ****** Iron Prison, I found my time with the roguelike welcoming, familiar, and surprising in equal measure. Read the rest of the story...

Image: Vjeran Pavic / The Verge When the Playdate first launched, one of the hooks was that the little yellow handheld came with a “season” of 24 games from notable developers like Keita Takahashi and Zach Gage. And now Panic has confirmed that a second season is coming at some point in 2025. As for what will be included, we don’t have a lot to go on right now. Panic says that “details on price, the exact number of games, and the developers behind the games of season 2 will come in 2025.” But during a livestream today, the company said it would probably feature “about a dozen games” and will also include a “really cool surprise.” Last year Panic launched a Playdate store called Catalog where developers could release games outside of the season structure, and during...

If you were hoping your old and dusty gaming PC would meet the Off The Grid system requirements, I have some bad news. This new early access battle royale game demands an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 as the minimum graphics card, and an RTX 4070 as the recommended. It's not often that one of the best graphics cards from the last few years features in the recommended tier of a game system requirements, but Off The Grid is an exception to the rule. As the game is still in early access, this could be down to issues with optimization, and the demands of the game could lessen closer to the final release. Read the rest of the story...

Part of the fun of Dragon Age's fantasy is that it's inconsistent - or at least, inconsistent by the standards of fantasy RPGs, which often break down into a million neatly organised and interlocking codex entries. It all rides on who you speak to. The humans believe one thing about the origins and workings of Thedas, the elves another, the qunari something else entirely. These differences are the basis for many factional disagreements and thus, many core series plot developments. According to former lead writer David Gaider, however, there's an "uber-plot" behind it all that may one day be resolved and bring the series to a close, assuming BioWare continue to refer to his original (and closely guarded) narrative documents.

Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Apex Legends is one of the only battle royale games that lets you play on a Steam Deck gaming handheld — Fortnite, Valorant and PUBG and more never supported it in the first place, citing concerns about anti-cheat. But today, Electronic Arts and Respawn are taking the game away for that very same reason. “In our efforts to combat cheating in Apex, we’ve identified Linux OS as being a path for a variety of impactful exploits and cheats. As a result, we’ve decided to block Linux OS access to the game,” writes EA, in a blog post explaining the decision. Apex Legends did have anti-cheat software that did run on the Steam Deck — specifically, the game uses Epic Games’ Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), which has been compatible with the Linux gaming...

Should you take Harding or Neve to ****** Solas in Dragon Age: The Veilguard? From the onset, Bioware's RPG presents you with difficult, meaningful choices. While Harding's sharp eye and heavy single-target damage are great at thinning out the crowds from afar, Neve's AoE magic and protection spells come in clutch situations when health bars begin to blink. You're thrust into the heart of Minrathous, the magic-infused capital city of the infamous Tevinter Empire. After the ever-iconic bar brawl cinematic, you set out to find Neve Gallas, Minrathous' premier detective who sports a very snazzy hat in the RPG game.
