Image: The Verge Microsoft is laying off around 650 employees in its gaming division today. The latest cuts come months after Microsoft ***** off 1,900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox employees, and after the closure of several game studios, including Redfall developer Arkane Austin. Xbox chief Phil Spencer announced the layoffs to employees in an internal memo this morning, seen by The Verge. The cuts are related to the Activision Blizzard deal, and Spencer makes that clear in his email. “As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business, we have made the decision to eliminate approximately 650 roles across Microsoft Gaming — mostly corporate and supporting functions — to organize our business for long term success,” says...

When I played the demo of REKA, I quickly fell in love with basically everything about it. From the immediate autumnal energy the visuals exude to the army of crows it sends you out to forage with, it basically featured everything I could want from a game about witches. But, as is the way with game demos, it comes to an end just as you board your chicken-legged hut and set off on your way. I was desperate to get back in to see what happens next, and it simply didn't disappoint... Read more.View the full article

Every man has his breaking point, and mine is the DP motion, aka the D-pad input used to perform Ken's Shoryuken uppercut in Street Fighter, and moves like it in other fighting games. I've never been able to perform it consistently. It's one of many moderately fiddly moves - written down for posterity in a small tear-stained journal I keep sorrowfully beneath my pillow - which have walled me out of enjoying fighting games, much as I love thinking about them. That wall grows ever higher as I age and my digits turn to dust and my dreams of launching Ryu like a sack of potatoes fade into the twilight. Still, at least I can still play and have fun with shooters, right? All you have to do in shooters is press a button once to make stuff go *****. Wait, Nightmare Operator, what are you doing? Nightmare Operator, no! Read more View the full article
The first major story expansion for Starfield, Shattered Space, is coming out on Sept. 30. With the original game being completely free on Xbox Game Pass, fans might have hoped Shattered Space will be free to play too, but Bethesda has other ideas. As dividing as Starfield was upon release, it ended up being another commercial hit for Bethesda. Just over a year after its Sept. 6, 2023 release, the space adventure will receive a new chapter in the form of the Shattered Space DLC. View the full article
Obi-Wan Kenobi, an okay show that was carried by Ewan McGregor's strong lead performance, was meant to be a limited Disney Plus series. To this day, Lucasfilm still hasn't announced plans to do more, but that isn't stopping both McGregor and Hayden Christensen from campaigning to return to a galaxy far, far away. Ewan McGregor is receiving his own star at Hollywood's Walk of Fame today, Thursday 12, and ahead of the event, he talked to Variety about his career, paying special attention to his surprisingly long run as Obi-Wan Kenobi, first as one of the leads of the Star Wars prequels, and years later in the Disney Plus show that reunited him with Hayden Christensen. After expressing his love for Alec Guinness' work as Obi-Wan Kenobi, he once again openly admitted he's down to work on another season should the opportunity arise: "I really do hope we get a chance to do another one...between where we ended off in the series and when Alec Guinness comes on screen with Luke Skywalker, I think there’s another few stories to tell in there." The (for now) limited series ended with Kenobi saving Leia from Imperial captors and facing Darth Vader to finally let Anakin Skywalker, the man he left to **** on Mustafar, go. After that, he finally got to meet a very yong Luke and wandered into the desert, only to be greeted by Force ghost Qui-Gon Jinn, which explains why he managed to become one with the Force years later instead of simply dying at the hands of Vader, something that was already suggested in Revenge of the Sith.

Warning: Major Spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lie ahead. Which ending to the base version of The Witcher 3 you get depends on a lot of things. There are the big obvious choices, along with a heap of smaller ones, and it's the former that really shapes the final proper cutscene you get before the game paints a picture of the rest in storybook style. As it turns out, there was a little more to one of these final cutscenes, and a modder's now restored it. As with the majority of the more interesting works that've popped up as part of a Witcher 3 modding rennaisance over the last few months, this one wouldn't have been possible without the REDkit modding tools. You know, the ones that're providing a lot of cool stuff to help tide us all over while we wait for more news on The Witcher 4 and the other projects CD Projekt's currently busy working on.

Better check those desert dunes again Caravan SandWitch, someone’s ******* the lede. An open world you can explore in a few relaxed evenings? One that favours the joyous freeform sightseeing of an Elden Ring or Breath Of The Wild; where you’ll scramble up vast industrial concrete ruins on scavenging missions for inquisitive frogs, instead of being nagged by bothersome checklists? Ok, rain check on that last point. SandWitch can’t help but eventually funnel the freedom of ambling around in your chuffy yellow van into restrictive collect-a-thons. Still, for much of its breezy runtime, this one’s a real panacea for gaming’s more bloated map-scourers. Plus, even when you are sent off to hamster-cheek scavenged components before making progress, there’s very little in this world that doesn’t feel intentional. Sidequests and storytelling crumbs are deliberately scattered throughout, and each building is a thoughtful concrete puzzle box. It is, in brief, a nice time. You play as Sauge, a spacefarer returned to her planet of Cigalo after receiving a distress signal from her missing sister. Cigalo’s a cheery place, though economically and environmentally devastated after being exploited by an evil spacecorp named The Consortium. It’s populated by small settlements of people, some large talking frogs named the Reinetos, and the occasional friendly ******. Everything’s friendly, as it goes - even gravity itself. There’s no danger, no ******, no damage from flinging yourself off the tallest building you can find. Just helping out your desert buds, upgrading your van with more gadgets to solve puzzles, or working on finding exactly where Sauge’s sister has go to. Read more View the full article

The Penguin finally premieres on Max in exactly one week, on September 19. We're now learning more and more about the process of ********* the long-anticipated series, and it appears that Colin Farrell didn't have a super great time under all the prosthetics and makeup. As part of Total Film's new issue, the actor explained the highs and lows of returning to Gotham as Oswald Cobblepot, and while he praises the character that's been created by Matt Reeves and showrunner Lauren LeFranc, he also was happy to leave him behind. "Don't get me wrong – I loved it – but it got in on me a little bit. By the end of it, I was ********* and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I f**king wanted it to be finished," he openly admitted before describing his personal attachment to previous iterations of the character. "It's not like I didn't know who I was and I was going out and burning cars and s**t, but... if you take what Matt Reeves created and then what Lauren [LeFranc, showrunner] did and what Mike [Marino, prosthetics and make-up designer] did and put them all together, it was a really powerful experience."

I am torn between being deeply annoyed at the fact roguelike deckbuilder Bramble Royale: A Meteorfall Story allows me to poison skeletons, and actually finding it very funny. I suppose it would take an unnecessary amount of setup to lampshade that my dexterity brawler, Mischief, actually switches out her regular poison for bone-hurting juice when fighting skeletal undead. So, you get a pass for now, game. Here’s a trailer: Read more View the full article

As we near the main stage of Dota 2’s The International 13, many new hero trends have emerged. One hero who gained momentum throughout the TI13 qualifiers was Windranger, who only soared in popularity throughout the group stages and the playoffs. Unexpectedly, Windranger eventually became so popular that she boasted a contest rate of 86 percent across every game at TI. In the rare instances where players banned her, she was promptly picked up, leading to varying degrees of success. Even though Windranger ties with Mirana and Kunkka at 36 picks, her in-game impact has arguably been higher, enough to be first picked in many games. View the full article
