Cyberpunk 2077 is four years old today, and CD Projekt Red is celebrating with a surprise patch for its open-world RPG that’s out now. The team held a live stream to run down some of the big changes coming in patch 2.2, which comes over a year after the Phantom Liberty expansion, 2.0 overhaul, and the big romance…

Narnia’s been done. First as a set of BBC movies and later as an incomplete set of Hollywood blockbusters amid the Harry Potter-fueled YA fiction adaptation goldrush. So if it’s going to come back, it might as well be a completely different spin on the C.S. Lewis books about kids, witches, and talking lions.

Path of Exile 2 is an action-RPG about customizing your hero, killing tons of enemies, and winning cool gear as a result. But a few days after the game’s massive Early Access launch, players are feeling a bit underwhelmed by the pace and size of loot drops. Path of Exile 2's developers say they agree.

Disney Dreamlight Valley may have just released its second paid expansion, The Storybook Vale, but that doesn’t mean Gameloft is leaving base game-only players in the dust. Not only does the game’s final content update of 2024 add the new Frost & Fairies Star Path, but it also contains Sally, the second character from …

It’s official! Henry Cavill is finally going to get to make the Warhammer 40,000 TV show of his dreams. It’s taken a bewildering two years of negotiations, but Warhammer owners Games Workshop has announced today that all the Is have been dotted and the Tyranids have been crossed, meaning Amazon can get started with…

The first trailer for 28 YearsLater is here and full of dread. Its grim mix of violence and futile resistance rekindles that sense of hopelessness from the first movie, though perhaps without the same moments of humanity and levity. It also might give us our first look at the fate of Cillian Murphy’s character.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has a ton of offline content to enjoy between its Episode Battles and player-made Custom Battles. But playing online is a different beast altogether. You’re bound to see more variance playing against people than you will against CPU, not to mention some prevalent metas that are subject to get…

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is not what I was expecting. My expectation and fear was that developer MachineGames’ AAA action-adventure adaptation of the popular franchise starring Harrison Ford would play mostly like Uncharted, but in the ‘30s and with more Nazis. Thankfully, Great Circle is nothing like Tomb…

Marvel Rivals is just under a week old and has already got its first big patch. NetEase’s update doesn’t have any balance changes, instead being focused on bug fixes. However, there’s slight overlap, as one glitch the patch fixes effectively gives the Vanguard Doctor Strange a bit of a nerf. That’s because fans had…

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s second expansion, The Storybook Vale, sports a wide variety of new items to find for cooking, crafting, and beyond. You can spend dozens of hours in this new location making every meal, crafting every piece of furniture, and meeting plenty of new friends (both villagers and critters!). But…

We’re living through a role-playing game renaissance right now. The last several years have been full of great ones, and 2024 is no different. Everywhere you look the genre is growing, evolving, and dominating. From Japanese-style RPGs to Western-style ones, retro remakes to open-world sequels, there’s never been more…

Love Actually is meant to be an antidote to Hollywood romances and happily-ever-after endings. Its mix of vulnerability, sentimentality, and disarming goofiness has made it a Christmas movie classic for decades, but there’s also plenty of ick. Actor Keira Knightley recently shared her own reaction to one of the…

Marvel Rivals launched last week, and as fans are flocking to the game in droves, they’re also figuring out who their favorite and least favorite characters are on the hero shooter’s roster. Right now, the game feels like it’s in the pre-patch state of just being a real chaotic shooter that hasn’t yet been sanded down…

Secret Level, Amazon’s stunningly animated video game anthology tribute, is either a gorgeous, impactful vehicle through which some short stories are told or a soulless piece of capital C Content, depending on which episode you’re watching.

Colin Farrell didn’t walk around with a limp and a prosthetic face for nothing. In a sign that even a broken clock is right every so often, a few of the best projects from Marvel, DC Studios, and the Dune universe snagged illusive Golden Globe nominations.

Marvel Rivals features a stacked cast of voice actors to go with its large roster of superheroes and villains. The recently released Overwatch-inspired hero shooter also features more than a few voice actors you may recognize from other games, movies, and TV.

Diablo-like Path Of Exile 2 is finally out in Early Access and taking over the charts, breaking records on Steam even as its servers buckle under the weight of its long-anticipated debut. And the team behind the action-RPG has wasted no time bringing some of its more OP builds to heel with a series of hotfixes aimed…

Indiana Jones is known for a few things. The hat. The whip. Archaeology. But one of the things he’s best known for is punching fascists (Nazi, or otherwise).

Indiana Jones has a lot of knowledge about the ancient world, documenting everything he discovers by putting it in his Journal. He would be lost without it, and his Journal would be nothing without all the maps and notes you’ll find in The Great Circle. When he’s wandering the halls of Marshall College, here are the…

Marvel Rivals is the hottest new thing in the realm of hero shooters. And, it has launched with over 30 popular characters from the Marvel universe. While it’s important to spend time trying out every character to find one that works best for you, they all have different skill ceilings to consider. So, if you’re new…

Pokémon TCG Pocket has a very odd pattern to its “events”—there appear to be weeks when the game falls fallow with nothing extra to do, then three special challenges will happen at the same time. That’s happening again today, as the Genetic Apex SP Emblem Event 1 launches, joining the ongoing Venusaur Drop Event and…

Folks, it’s December. That means that unless you live in a part of the world where the weather is nice all the time (or you’re in, like, Australia), you’re likely doing your best to keep the frigid temperatures at bay. And hey, if you’re looking at a weekend of being stuck indoors, I can think of no better time to…

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is about to head into season 4, and the players who remain are relieved to see that the newest character joining the multiverse fray is Deathstroke, and that he actually looks cool.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a lot of fun. The new game from MachineGames and Bethesda lets you step into the (I assume very muddy and warm) boots of the famous adventurer for an exciting new journey around the world. Along the way you solve ancient puzzles and riddles and, of course, fight Nazis.

Hazelight Studios, led by the colorful Josef Fares, might be revealing its latest game very soon. A new report suggests the upcoming project is called Split Fiction and will release sometime in March 2025.
