A wildly unexpected mash-up of the distant past and the modern or near-future world is always going to garner attention in videogames. The dinosaur-filled streets of Exoprimal, for example, or the whiplash between historical settings and science fiction laboratories in the earlier Assassin's Creed games, immediately turns heads. This sort of discordance is even more compelling in Kingmakers, which has helped create huge anticipation for its combination of medieval and modern warfare, along with a hybrid of strategy and shooter design. Now, after months of waiting, we finally have a Kingmakers release date, and it's not far off. Read the rest of the story...

Here we go again. Apple is ready to get hardcore into gaming once more, reportedly this time with a dedicated app for games and gamers built-in to its devices like the iPhone and iPads later this year. A new report from Bloomberg cites "people with knowledge of the matter" that Apple will begin to preinstall the app on its devices, including the Apple TV set-top box, in 2025 and an announcement of the new addition is imminent to coincide with next week's launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. With the move, Apple is "seeking to sell gamers and developers on the idea that it’s a leader in the market." [Hidden Content] "The software will serve as a launcher for titles and centralize in-game achievements, leaderboards, communications and other activity, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans haven't been announced," Bloomberg said. Game Center? Remember that? It's been seemingly under-utilized for years and will now be replaced by the new app, according to the report. The gaming-centric app will "will feature editorial content from Apple about new titles, offer access to the App Store's game section" while promoting Apple Arcade, the company's game subscription service. There's no doubt that mobile gaming has a huge market share when it comes to spending, but each time Apple has tried to try and capture the "mainstream" gamer appeal with features like Apple Arcade or full-fledged game releases like Resident Evil Village, etc., gamers tend to stay where they're at. Will this new effort be any different? That remains to be seen, but I think it will have to be a bit more in-depth for it to be worth it for most gamers. We'll see just how deep this new app goes, but I'm skeptical. I also just don't think it's very necessary. There are already several kinds of launcher-like apps that come with peripherals such as Scuf Gaming and Backbone controllers, where players can use their ancillary hardware to find and launch games from. And I already have a folder full of all my games in one central spot to make it easier to find when I want to play something. But if this is to be an Xbox Live or PlayStation Network-like addition for Apple, maybe it will be better. I still really don't think most people want to play full-length, triple-A games like Resident Evil on their phones, though, not when consoles and PCs exist for that exact reason. The post Apple is reportedly launching dedicated gaming app this year, but who really needs it? appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki considers Dark Souls 2, one of the studio’s most controversial games, to be a “great project” and mentions that its existence led to Elden Ring. The Japanese studio has been on a hot streak of releases and successes. In 2022, FromSoftware released the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, which revolutionized the structure of soulslike games by offering a completely open-world map for players to explore, moving away from the linear progression set in games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Last year, it released the well-received Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. View the full article

Indie publisher tinyBuild had their second annual tinyBuild Connect showcase today. IGN streamed the Connect live, and the showcase was packed with reveals of new games and release date announcements. Best of all, you can try almost all of the new games shown today via a playtest or demo — either now, or very soon. If you weren’t able to watch it live or just want a rundown of everything that was shown, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything we saw during the show: Ferocious Is a Survival FPS with Dinosaurs You Can Team Up With The showcase opened with a brand-new look at Ferocious, where dinosaurs, mercs, and mechs clash in a lush but lethal survival FPS.

A fresh playtest is also on the horizon, so get your squad together and see if you’ve got what it takes to rule the sands. Trainfort Is a Co-op Survival Game with Guns and Steam Engines The world-premiere trailer introduced Trainfort, a co-op survival crafting game where roving dwarf nomads build and drive a steam-powered fortress across a procedurally generated wasteland. The developers are promising that a tactile first-person hand-control system will make every action from chopping trees to assembling your mobile base feel grounded and physical. The playtest for Trainfort also went live right after the show. Hozy Is a Cozy Living Spaces Restoration Game Hozy invites players to restore a forgotten neighborhood, one cozy room at a time. Revealed for the first time during the showcase, the debut trailer showed players scrubbing grime, slapping on fresh coats of pastel paint, and dialing in lighting to turn derelict rooms into homey sanctuaries. Hozy also dropped a public Steam playtest right after the show, so you can already get a taste for its fixer-upper gameplay. All Will Fall Lets You Build a City That Can Collapse at Any Time Physics-based construction meets post-apocalyptic survival in this vertical city builder where every ramshackle tower can topple like Jenga. The team confirmed an open beta for Steam Next Fest on June 9, giving players a chance to stack homes sky-high — or watch them spectacularly crumble. All Will Fall has a demo available on Steam right now. Roguelite Kingdom Builder The King Is Watching Launches This July CarbotAnimations’ tongue-in-cheek trailer revealed a July release window for this unique strategy title, where peasants only work under your royal gaze.

Duckside Brings Hat-Wearing, Gun-Wielding Duck Extravaganza to Consoles This August The new trailer dove onto the screen, confirming that Duckside lands on consoles this August and showing off full-flight PvP mayhem, complete with crafting, base building, hat-wearing ducks, and of course, quack-tical base raids.

Earlier this week, one of my industry peers James Bentley (they're over at that other site about PC games, GamerPCs I think it's called) put out a video essay titled "I Can Guarantee You This Game is Going to be Underrated". Trusting in James as a critic of varied and interesting taste, I clicked through and found that yeah, they're right, it probably will be. However, I also get to write about indie PC games for a living, so I'd like to do my part in telling you about this strange, point-and-click/ visual novel called Decade.
