Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to 2017's classic Hollow Knight, was supposed to have been released around about now. It hasn’t, and now it won’t be either, because the team have decided to take some extra time making the game as good as it can be.

There are all kinds of demographics who are going to be very into the next Zelda game, but this new trailer for Tears of the Kingdom—one that is somewhere between a personal appeal and a personal attack on me, a 43-year-old man—has one very specific audience in mind.

In the early years of Disney’s ownership of Star Wars, it felt like the company wasn’t interested in any era of the franchise beyond the original trilogy. The material it mined for its own projects came largely from those films, leaving vast swaths of Star Wars history by the wayside. But more recently, Disney and…

What in the world? Longtime Pokémon maker GameFreak just announced something completely unrelated that will be published by Take-Two’s Private Division label. Codenamed Project Bloom, it’s in early development and billed as an action adventure game and…that’s basically all we know about it.

Overwatch 2’s latest event, Starwatch, might as well be a licensed Star Wars tribute. While it may have missed May the 4th, the new PvP(vE) event is full of legally distinct tributes to the franchise, from an homage to the iconic text crawl in the accompanying comic to characters like Baptiste donning a bounty hunter…

At this point, saying Redfall ain’t that great of a time is hardly a new or hot take. But, to be fair, it kind of felt like the stakes were out for developer Arkane’s co-op infected immersive sim even before its release. So is our collective disappointment just a self-fulfilling prophecy? Are we merely burnt out on…

Burger King has revealed a menu item based on the upcoming animated movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and it’s a spider-suit hamburger. The Spider-Man Whopper is based on the film’s lead Miles Morales, but it’s a weird choice because his suit isn’t predominantly red like the Whopper bun is.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is really, really good. You’ve probably heard this already. Our own review and other reviews of the game have praised it quite a bit. But this isn’t a review. Instead, this is just us reaffirming that, yeah, it really is as good as so many other people have claimed. In fact, some of us at …

We’re finally getting another update on what sort of content we might expect to see in Bethesda’s upcoming spacefaring RPG, Starfield. Rather than coming directly from its publisher, however, we’re getting this information from the game’s ESRB rating. The advisory board’s description reveals that the game will allow…

Nintendo is not messing around when it comes to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom leaks. In fact it’s so aggro right now, it seems to have unintentionally snagged innocent content creators simply sharing official footage in its copyright clampdown.

Fans eager for a successor to the Switch will have to wait a bit longer.

In Respawn’s Jedi series, one of the constants across both games is the Mantis, a starship that’s kinda yours, but also not yours, but you use it enough that it may as well be. And I think, more than the combat or the jumping or the surprisingly Star Warsy tone of the games, it’s my favourite thing about them. At…

Few game show moments are as great as when a Jeopardy! contestant desperately needs a Daily Double, they find it, get it right, and take the lead. Almost as good: When someone bets big while in the lead and loses. Well, now this iconic part of the show is changing as viewers at home will be told where the Daily Double…

On the colorful, cartoonish race tracks of Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, Disney Speedstorm, one monster has become a menace. One monster can’t be stopped. That monster is Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. And while fans want this green little speed ball nerfed, Gameloft has no plans to do so anytime soon.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 punctuated the ending to arguably one of Marvel’s best trilogy films (don’t @ me) with an emotionally gratifying final needle drop that had its titular characters, the fans, and even the musician behind the song ugly-crying with happiness. Minor spoilers ahead.

If you attempt to skip past certain story elements in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the latest Force-powered action-adventure from Respawn Entertainment, you’re greeted with a funny little pop-up message warning you that the game may break. That sounds like it could suck, but in actuality, it’s pretty cool that the…

Despite Dead Island 2’s glamorous outer shell—its sparkling, sprawling vision of L.A., filled with scattered cash and ruined mansions—what makes it compelling is making its many zombies literally spill their guts. As you may have once heard, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
