You’re going to hear a lot of release dates this summer, and should probably just ignore them all
Next month we’re going to be inundated with game announcements. The number of trailers you’re going to watch—don’t pretend you aren’t—will make your eyes bleed. And you’re going to be given a lot of dates to mark in your calendar. But hold on, because release dates are mostly bollocks. This is nothing new: since our…

World of Warcraft is enjoying a golden age and we’ve never had it so good
Whenever a World of Warcraft expansion starts winding down, I find myself returning. Catch-up systems make barrelling through the campaign and faction reps easy, getting me well-positioned for whatever is coming next. In Dragonflight, though, I felt compelled to return from what proved to be a much briefer hiatus than planned, and frankly it’s become…

The way World of Warcraft: The War Within quest rewards work is game-changing for transmog enthusiasts
At the moment, when you complete a quest in World of Warcraft and get rewarded with some gear, only the items your character can use get added to your cosmetic wardrobe, where all your transmog options are stored. This means if you’re a leather user, your plate-wearing alts won’t get any goodies, aside from maybe…

4X RTS Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is finally coming to Steam this summer with a new faction and modding tools
I was beyond excited when I chatted to developer Ironclad about the imminent arrival of Sins of a Solar Empire 2 back in 2022. With its simulated celestial mechanics and modular ship design, it sounded like a significant step up from its brilliant predecessor. But like so many in-development games that launch exclusively on the…

Lord of the Rings games tend to be full of conflict, whether you’re a band of dwarves delving deep into Moria and fighting off orcs, or Gollum sneaking through Mordor and trying not to become dinner for its denizens. Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game eschews all the grim stuff, though,…

What we want to see in Fallout season 2: Deathclaw fights, aliens and a lot more Norm
🚩🚩 NOTE: Watch out for Fallout season one spoilers! 🚩🚩 Fallout season two has been confirmed—as if there was any doubt. The first season packed lots of post-apocalyptic goodness into its eight episodes, but the games are vast and one season just wasn’t enough for all our faves to get their time in the spotlight.…

Warhorse Studios has finally unveiled what it admits is probably “the most public secret in the gaming industry”, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The medieval RPG is a direct continuation of the 2018 game, once again following peasant-turned-knight Henry, accompanied by his posh mate, Hans, as they navigate a civil war in 15th century Bohemia. The…

It’s weird that the Fallout TV show glosses over one of the series’ biggest antagonists
🚩🚩 NOTE: Big spoilers inbound! 🚩🚩 I was planning on making Amazon’s Fallout TV show last at least a week, but by Sunday evening I’d devoured all eight episodes. My love of Fallout has been dwindling since Fallout 4’s launch back in 2015, but the misadventures of Lucy, Maximus and the Ghoul have reignited my Fallout fervour.…
