Scavenging for food and water. Crafting tools and improvised shelters to protect you from the elements. Fighting tooth and nail against wild animals. Fundamentally, The Long Dark has a lot in common with its survival game contemporaries, the same foundational mechanics as Rust, Sons of the Forest, and Project Zomboid. But what makes Hinterland's opus stand out is its gorgeous, natural world. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes brutal, even after eight years, The Long Dark's combination of shimmering auroras and decaying, leafless forests is instantly recognizable. With the final episode of the Wintermute story on the way, as well as the sequel, Blackfrost, a significant update transforms The Long Dark's visuals. Read the rest of the story...

Cyberpunk 2077 sequel Cyberpunk 2 has officially entered pre-production, developer CD Projekt has confirmed. The studio made the announcement as part of its latest financial results, where it said the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 had hit an impressive 10 million copies sold. 96 of CD Projekt’s 730 developers are now working on Cyberpunk 2, it added. The majority of the staff (422) is working on The Witcher 4, which is in full production. What is pre-production ? In the world of AAA development, pre-production can involve everything from creating concepts to planning full production, building prototypes to staffing up studios. It can often take years to complete. Cyberpunk 2 still sounds a long way off, then. Indeed, so does The Witcher 4. But we at least now know what CD Projekt is calling the game, after it was referred to previously as its codename, Orion. We know next to nothing about Cyberpunk 2, but earlier this month Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith teased some previously unknown details. Pondsmith, who worked closely with CD Projekt on the 30 million-selling Cyberpunk 2077 and was involved in promoting the game ahead of its 2020 launch, was asked about the scope of his involvement with Orion at the Digital Dragons 2025 conference. Responding, Pondsmith admitted he wasn’t as involved this time around, but said he does review scripts and had been to CD Projekt to check out the ongoing work. “Last week I was wandering around talking to different departments, and seeing what they had, ‘Oh look, this is the new cyberware, what do you think?’ ‘Oh yeah, that’s pretty good, that works here.’ " And then, the morsel on the sequel: that it features a brand new city in addition to the Night City we know from Cyberpunk 2077. Pondsmith described this new city as “like Chicago gone wrong.” “I spent a lot of time talking to one of the environment guys, and he was explaining how the new place in Orion, because there’s another city we visit — I’m not telling you any more than that but there’s another city we visit. And Night City is still there. But I remember looking at it and going, yeah I understand the feel you’re going for this, and this really does work. And it doesn’t feel like Blade Runner, it feels more like Chicago gone wrong. I said, ‘Yeah, I can see this working.'” It’s worth pointing out that Pondsmith’s comments do not necessarily suggest the Cyberpunk sequel will feature a future Chicago, rather a city that has the feel of a dystopian version of the city. It may well be a take on future Chicago, but that isn’t confirmed based on these comments. There is also already some debate about whether Cyberpunk 2 will expand upon the Night City that’s in Cyberpunk 2077 or feature a new version, and the extent to which it is playable. There are a lot of unknowns, but it looks like there may be two fleshed out playable cities in this sequel at the very least. It's a hugely busy time for CD Projekt, of course. There’s a new Cyberpunk animation project on Netflix following the well-received Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in the works. In the shorter term, Cyberpunk 2077 is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 next month. Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Fans of League of Legends are voicing their discontent about one of the newest World Championship skins coming to the game, with the Kai'Sa outfit sporting an exorbitant price point. One of the main elements of monetization for the massively popular MOBA from Riot Games comes through the game's litany of skins, with most characters featuring several different looks. Many of League of Legends' older characters have seen a plethora of new skins added, often boasting more than ten alternative appearances. However, one particular skin quickly became one of the game's most notorious. View the full article

Rare's upcoming action-adventure title Everwild may make an appearance during this summer's Xbox Showcase, according to insiders.

Monster Hunter Wilds' hammer, despite being just as deliciously violent as previous incarnations, came out a little undercooked. It came in at A in our Monster Hunter Wilds weapon tier list, sure, but long-time hammer bros found it somewhat unwieldy. For example, its offset attack is (inexplicably) gated behind the third attack in their combo. Even then, I hear it's downright hard to follow-up once you land it... Read more.View the full article

While it started off brightly with a massive number of players, Marvel Rivalsis suffering from a declining player count month by month. This is partly due to what naturally happens with games, with many online, competitive titles being stripped down to their core audience as they get on with age, although there are some reasons to be worried. The game is only around six months old, having been released in December 2024, and while there are plenty of people playing the game, the current number of players is roughly one fifth of what it was at its peak.

Looks like Death Stranding isn't only heading to live-action, but anime as well. In a new article ahead of June's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, director Hideo Kojima has seemingly confirmed an anime adaptation of Death Stranding is on the way. Speaking to Vogue Japan (via VGC), Kojima mentioned his current collaboration with A24 on the live-action Death Stranding film adaptation, but closed off with a little extra note about an anime in the works. Here's the quote, via machine translation: "I am also currently working with A24 on a live-action film adaptation of 'DEATH STRANDING". When it comes to film adaptations of games, there have been recent films like 'The Last of Us' that keep the plot of the original intact, and films like 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' that are more like a service to game fans. Each of these works has its own merits, but as a film lover, I want to pursue expression as a film. I am aiming to make 'DEATH STRANDING' in a way that can only be done as a film, and that will win awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. In fact, we are also currently working on an anime adaptation." While no production studio was confirmed, it does certainly sound like Death Stranding has another adaptation on the way, in anime form. In 2023, A24 officially confirmed it was collaborating with Kojima Productions and its director on a live-action Death Stranding movie. At the time, Kojima said the adaptation was not just a "direct translation" of the game. "The intention is that our audience will not only be fans of the games, but our film will be for anyone who loves cinema," said Kojima. "We are creating a Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film, it will be born.” Earlier this year, A Quiet Place: Day One director Michael Sarnoski reportedly signed on to write and direct the Death Stranding adaptation. Death Stranding Star Norman Reedus has said he would "of course" play himself in the movie "if it was an option." With another adaptation on the way, I'm admittedly curious to see what could be done with Death Stranding in the anime space. Depending on which studio picks it up, we could get some different and interesting versions of the Death Stranding universe. It's pretty fun to imagine a Studio Trigger-made Death Stranding, for example. Meanwhile, in the video game world, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is due out on June 26, 2025 for the PlayStation 5. If you're curious about how the next entry in Death Stranding is coming together, check out our hands-on impressions of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach after a whopping 30 hours with the game.
