The game, the planned follow-up to niche fighting title Street Fighter x Tekken, was announced 11 years ago and was initially supposed to launch on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but all chat about the game vanished soon after it was announced and Tekken fans have been curious about the title ever since. But thanks to some new comments Harada made on his YouTube series Harada’s Bar, the famously feisty developer confirmed that the Bandai Namco/Capcom collaboration project has indeed been dead some time....

A recently-created Twitter account for Test Drive posted its first Tweet on Friday. It had a brief teaser of a new logo, with the promise of more news this week. The Tweet points to the Nacon Connect event, which takes place tomorrow. Nacon is the new name for publisher Bigben Interactive, and tomorrow’s Direct-style show is set to bring a number of fresh announcements and show off new gameplay from many Bigben-published games....

Tetris Effect producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi is known for his esoteric and abstract games. From Rez, Lumines, Child of Eden and Tetris Effect, he has a distinct style that makes his games a unique experience. His latest game Humanity looks equally bizarre, but it sadly seems like we will be waiting a little longer to see the title in action. While initially announced for 2020, the year is quickly running out....

Cyno’s talents make him unique among Electro users, where elemental mastery feeds into his attack power and complements his hefty critical damage bonus stat. The version’s new polearm may seem like the perfect fit for any Cyno build, but a couple of free, four-star weapons work just as well, if not better. When is the Cyno banner release date? The Cyno banner begins when Genshin Impact 3.1 starts on September 27, or September 28 depending on your time zone....

Yaoyao occupies a unique position among her fellow 4-star characters. She’s a hybrid healer and sub-DPS, but if you want to maximize her healing potential, you have to use her as both. Her burst won’t work unless Yaoyao is active. While that means her playstyle is more complex than Genshin Impact 3.4’s other new character, Alhaitham, there’s still a range of easy-to-assemble builds to help her fit right in. Best Yaoyao build Best Yaoyao weapons Best Yaoyao artifacts Best Yaoyao F2P options Is Yaoyao a DPS character Should I pull for Yaoyao?...

The success of Good Omens is relevant here because, well, it’s proof positive that we’re still captivated by the creations of Terry Pratchett. For those of us of a certain age, his children’s literature (Truckers, Diggers, Only You Can Save Mankind etc) were formative experiences in the way that a certain wizard-based series was for kids who came after. For many of us, Pratchett’s works were rare examples of books that teachers made us read, which we actually enjoyed....

Set on Jupiter’s “dead moon” Callisto in 2320, Jacob Lee (played by actor Josh Duhamel) is an inmate at Black Iron Prison who must fight for his life when a mysterious outbreak throws everything into chaos. Prison guards and inmates are mutating into horrible creatures called Biophage, and Jacob must battle not only to survive, but also uncover the dark secrets of the United Jupiter Company. With the game, you can expect an oppressive world that feels desolate, isolated, and puts you on edge....

Warlords of New York came with an improved Skill Tier system and there are new Hunter masks to find. For those of you who love hunting for loot, there are some new keys knocking about that will allow you to unlock special loot crates and rooms. Two such keys are the Judge and Dragov keys, which are easier to get than you might think. Finding what they unlock is more of a challenge, however....

This article is a text-based version of a video feature - which you can watch instead in the embed above. In the old days, it’d take a while for us to see the fruits of a big company acquisition to take place. Back when Microsoft purchased Rare in 2002, it’d be a good year before the developer released its first Xbox game, and several years before it felt truly bedded-in to Microsoft’s machines....

The gameplay trailer - which introduces us to a ruined and fascinating world full of that eponymous gunk – shows snatches of exploration and introduces us to Rani, the game’s protagonist, as she explores an alient planet coated in hostile goo. You’re tasked with fixing the planet’s failing ecosystem by removing the titular slime, and you’ll no doubt uncover some weird mysteries and solve some peculiar problems along the way, too....

This last year has sucked - lockdowns, restrictions, and the general challenges of adjusting to a vastly different status quo have been difficult for many of us. Equally, it’s been an opportunity to explore different things you can do at home - and for many that has meant a whole lot of video games. I’ve seen this across the industry, in casual gamer friends, and even in my own habits....

Here’s where to find every weapon in The Last of Us 2, as well as the holster upgrades that let you switch between guns more effectively. However, most of the weapons you find are flawed in some way, be it recoil that bucks like a stallion or a glacial reload time which has you fumbling helplessly while two angry clickers (or worse) windmill towards you. These foibles can be reduced or even removed by upgrading your firearms with scrap at workbenches - and we have a page on where to find every workbench in the game, here....

Additional details on the content were not provided, but details on the Left 4 Dead 2 update will be coming soon. Hers’s the blurb: It has been many years since the infection first hit. Radio silence, no sign of life, nothing but lingering hopes… CEDA is not going to save us. But there is hope! A few brave souls have continued the fight against all odds, and soon we can all benefit from their resilience....

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD follows that of Super Mario 3D World, which Nintendo released just last week for Switch. The Wii title was originally released in November 2011, and is the sixteenth mainline entry in The Legend of Zelda series. It takes place on the floating island of Skyloft and the land below it and made use of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral. It was made available worldwide on the Wii U eShop in September 2016....

Now, to be clear… I’m totally the target audience. I was seven years old when Super Mario 64 was released; nostalgia for that game runs through my veins. Its level layouts are seared into my soul. I’m also what the community calls an ‘AFOL’ - an ‘Adult Fan of Lego’. So on the venn diagram of people this set might be aimed at, I’m slap bang in the middle. I tell you this so that you can either add credence or a pinch of salt to my verdict, depending on your inclination....

I have to confess that Saints Row lost me a little the longer it went on. There’s a level of ludicrous I can take, and am interested in - but once the Saints started doing battle with aliens and really embracing the out-there side of the series, that’s when I mentally checked out of their adventures. I was thrilled, then, to see that this Saints Row is a little more stripped-back....

A new report from marketing research firm Global Web Index revealed that the 55-64 demographic has grown 32% since 2018 (thanks GamesIndustry.biz). That’s a growth of just under a third in just three years. We’ve seen various factors play into the changing face of the gaming audience lately: whether it’s in the increase of the number of mobile gamers, or the amount of people tempted to play games thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, there’s been some major (and fairly rapid) changes to the global gaming population....

It’s good, gruesome fun, too. In my review, I described The Quarry as a charming slasher, because as often as the game is gory, there’s plenty of endearing moments too as you become enthralled in the story and attached to its characters. That being said, The Quarry has a whopping 186 endings, to make your actions and decisions at Hackett’s Quarry feel all the more impactful. Yet, which endings are the best?...

Developer, Maxis, didn’t leave us with just that, though. They also revealed what’s next for the series and gave fans a brief glimpse at Project Rene; the next step for The Sims’ universe. Project Rene is a few years off yet, so in the meantime, Maxis has appeased the masses by finally making The Sims 4 free to play. So, how do you go about claiming The Sims 4 now that it’s free?...

The Sim 4 is getting a Star Wars expansion pack called Journey to Batuu, and it’s out next month. Journey to Batuu is set on the remote planet of Batuu, inspired by Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. In it, the Sims will be surrounded sights and sounds of Star Wars including Stormtroopers, Batuuan attire, custom lightsabers, the Oga’s Cantina, the sounds of DJ R-3X, and even the Millennium Falcon....
