  1. That sequel to the 2022 Uncharted film that approximately five of us actually liked is officially in production. The news was confirmed by Variety earlier today after Sony mentioned an Uncharted sequel at CineEurope 2024 while running down its pipeline of upcoming movies. Read more... View the full article
  2. Starfield on Xbox Series S is a surprisingly solid experience. However, Bethesda’s massive open-world space RPG is locked to 30 FPS on Xbox’s cheaper and less powerful console. But with some new fan-developed mods, Starfield can hit 60 or even 120 FPS on Series S, just be prepared for some less-than-great visuals. Read more... View the full article
  3. A long time ago in a galaxy that’s ours, Star Wars meant fun, adventure, creativity, and cultural impact. Then Disney bought the rights from George Lucas and the franchise suffered from quality control and oversaturation (*cough* Solo, *cough* The Book of Boba Fett). When The Acolyte trailer dropped, I thought it was… Read more... View the full article
  4. As I peer out from a ventilation shaft to catch sight of the unspeakable horror in search of me, I prepare to toss a wrench I lifted from the ground in the desperate hope of distracting it. I step out of the shaft, throw it, and then immediately dart for the door. But I get the angle wrong and catch the lip of a beam… Read more... View the full article
  5. Of the seven demos I played at the Tribeca Festival’s official games section, darkwebSTREAMER is by far the one I spent the most time with. The horror narrative roguelike’s risk-reward system, based around streaming progressively more dangerous occult activities in hopes of becoming the best streamer you can be,… Read more...

  6. Overwatch 2’s eleventh season begins on Thursday, June 20, and this time around Blizzard is going with what looks like a Power Rangers tribute theme this season. But that’s not the only thing poking at millennial nostalgia, as Blizzard is teasing that a Transformers collaboration is in the works. Read more... View the full article
  7. 20 years ago, a third-person action-adventure pirate game called Age of Pirates: Captain Blood was announced via a short trailer at E3 2004. And then a lot of ***** happened, leading to the game being delayed repeatedly in development and then protracted legal fights once it was finished. But now, finally, two decades… Read more...

  8. Most of Elden Ring developer FromSoftware’s games have some form of cooperative play. However, they are full of restrictions and cost-related mechanics that make it impossible for you to play the whole way through with a friend without jumping through hoops. The good news is, it doesn’t sound like the studio is… Read more... View the full article
  9. Fallout fans have been desperate for something new to play in the post-apocalyptic RPG franchise ever since the Amazon TV adaptation blew up earlier this year. Recently, however, director Todd Howard said Bethesda doesn’t want to “rush” a new single-player Fallout game, and went into more detail about what the team is… Read more... View the full article
  10. Elden Ring’s highly anticipated expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, is dropping later this week, and a lot of people are pumped for what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year. Whether you’re a lorehound or simply someone looking for a proper excuse to ***** into the game of 2022, Shadow of the… Read more... View the full article
  11. Welcome to the first in a long line of MultiVersus character guides. As the first wave of post-launch patches has begun, I’ll now be diving in, starting with three brand new characters in order to offer some tips and general strategies to help you get a leg up. First up, it’s Jason. Read more... View the full article
  12. After months (and even years) of healer mains in Final Fantasy 14 complaining that Square Enix’s MMORPG has simplified and devalued the job, seemingly to no avail, aggrieved healers are going one step further to make their opinion known: They’re going on strike.

  13. Now that most of the industry is done with Summer Game Fest and all its orbiting events, Nintendo is jumping into the summer video game announcement fray with its own Nintendo Direct. After plenty of speculation and rumors floating around the internet, the company has confirmed the showcase will take place tomorrow,… Read more... View the full article
  14. With tiresome predictability, action RPG Elden Ring’s first and only DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, is already being spoiled online, four days ahead of its release. This warning comes from no smaller a source than its own developers, FromSoftware. (There are no spoilers at all in this post.) Read more... View the full article
  15. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is almost here, so we’ll help you make sure you’re ready to access and conquer the DLC when it arrives. We’ve also got details on four new bosses who were recently added to Octopath Traveler II, as well as suggestions for those looking to get caught up on Dragon Age before The… Read more...

  17. With Kotaku in attendance at last week’s Summer Game Fest, we got to go hands-on with some of the biggest games on the horizon. Read on for our impressions of Star Wars Outlaws, Horizon Lego Adventures, and the delightful-looking Astro ****, among other games. We’ve also got an early look at one of next year’s most… Read more... View the full article
  18. Summer Game Fest took up a lot of the oxygen in the room last week, and from there, we got new details on Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and more. But there was no shortage of stories from beyond the showcases and show floor, too. An Epic Games Store ***** hinted at some big things on the horizon, for… Read more... View the full article
  19. I imagine the cross-section of people who still play Elden Ring but aren’t buying its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is pretty small. Even so, those people are in luck since they’ll still get to take advantage of a free update going live alongside the DLC. In addition to various gameplay changes, it’ll greatly… Read more...

  20. Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s promotional campaign is in full swing after BioWare reintroduced the re-titled RPG at Summer Game Fest earlier this month. While we learned a lot from the gameplay reveal and the behind-closed-doors presentation at the show, BioWare is still drip-feeding information to fans, most recently… Read more...

  21. A nervous woman with a large bust size was stopped at an airport in China after officials grew suspicious. They inspected her and discovered she was allegedly trying to smuggle 350 Nintendo Switch carts out of the country by stuffing them into her ****. Read more... View the full article
  22. Starfield has yet again rubbed folks the wrong way. This time it’s not over what many perceived as a mostly empty initial offering when it launched last year. Rather, criticism is centered on the game’s new Creations mod hub, which offers free and paid mods from both Bethesda and community members alike. Some are so… Read more... View the full article
  23. Like many other Destiny 2 players, I’ve been slowly digging into The Final Shape’s post-campaign offerings, especially as I get ready to take on the expansion’s especially demanding raid. Unsurprisingly, many of these quests, which center around the acquisition of rare and powerful armor and weapons, are some of the… Read more... View the full article
  24. Summer Game Fest, aka Geoff-****/Keighley-palooza, has come and gone. The E3 replacement included multiple online showcases and onsite events, each aimed at drumming up excitement for a flood of upcoming games. Which games rocked? Which ones sucked? Which ones will become video game industry touchstones while the rest… Read more... View the full article
  25. Before any of the in-your-face vaporwave aesthetic of Skate Story has a chance to overflow my senses, I am struck by something surprising—the sound of skateboard wheels rolling across a slightly gravely surface. It sounds exactly like skateboarding should. It’s a small detail but one that immediately makes me feel… Read more... View the full article
