The developers of Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu entered a surprise settlement with Nintendo on Monday, agreeing to pay the game company $2.4 million in damages and cease development and distribution of the emulator. Now, as a result of that settlement, Citra—a 3DS emulator that shared developers with Yuzu—has also been taken offline. The Citra Twitter…

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a bolder conceit for a game—or a more doomed one—than Star Wars Galaxies’ original pitch that almost no one would get to be a Jedi. In the Star Wars films and expanded universe, only a tiny portion of the trillions of people across the galaxy were Force-sensitive, so…

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree looks so big it feels wrong to call it DLC. The full-blown, $40 expansion that FromSoftware’s been working on for the last two years finally has a date (June 21) and a trailer showing off new bosses, weapons, and very, very pretty locations to be murdered in.  Between the…

The average PC gamer may not be superstitious about walking underneath ladders or being cursed by black cats, but we have plenty of questionable rituals and myths that have built up across decades of message boards and Reddit threads.

That sure didn’t take long. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is out today, delivering a very nice graphical update to Lara Croft’s original three adventures along with some other niceties, including modern controls and high framerate support. Within hours mods for the remaster were popping up on the Nexus page, most of the initial wave seemingly…

Sorry folks, Valve’s not announcing a new VR headset today—or at least not the Valve Prism, despite the surprise appearance of a website, valveprism.com, that very nearly looks like the real deal.  The new site started making the rounds on Wednesday and on first blush very much looks like a Valve production. The page design,…

Homeworld 3’s mothership needs just a bit more time in spacedock before heading out for places unknown. Gearbox announced on Wednesday that Homeworld 3 is being delayed by two months, from its planned March 8 release date to May 13, 2024.  In a statement about the delay, Gearbox and Blackbird Interactive said that they recently…

“The Halo TV series has absolutely no vibes,” we wrote back in 2022 when the show debuted on Paramount+ with a nine episode season. It was the kind of adaptation that didn’t quite seem to please anyone. Halo fans grumbled that Master Chief took his helmet off too much and that the show was ultimately…

At the start of January we predicted 2024 would be a strong year for Japanese games, but we weren’t quite ready for the very first month of the year to knock our socks off. There’s never been a Japanese indie game like Palworld—in just two weeks in January the early access survival game sold 12…
