HTC on Tuesday announced that Vive owners will be able to preorder its upcoming wireless adapter for a cord-free VR experience starting September. The cost of going wireless is not cheap—HTC is pricing the wireless adapter at $299. Going wireless addresses one of the downsides of premium VR headsets like the Vive, which must be tethered to a PC. “Since the first demos of Vive, we’ve known that to deliver on the best of premium VR, we wanted it to be wireless,” said Daniel O’Brien, GM Americas, H

PC RPGs have always been about accommodating many play styles, but few have gone as far in channeling the tabletop experience as Kingmaker.

Since Kingmaker pulls straight from the foundation of the Pathfinder tabletop game, it has more than 1000 spells, feats, and skills to mold your party however you like. In the pantheon of CRPGs, Pathfinder: Kingmak

Speaking to Xbox’s Major Nelson at Gamescom, Bethesda’s Pete Hines says those familiar with Fallout 4’s settlement building will understand the essence of Fallout 76’s C.A.M.P. It’s not just you building in your settlement, you

During Microsoft’s live Gamescom 2018 episode of Inside Xbox today, Sea of Thieves executive producer Joe Neate discussed some of the new stuff that’ll be appearing on the horizon with the free Forsaken Shores update. This will be the first Sea of Thieves update that adds a new area to the map, a volcanic bit of sea that’s plenty active. After Forsaken Shores, cursed cannonballs and a new signal flag will be added, the latter of which broadcasts your location on the map. The Forsaken Shores upda

Those words feature alongside an image, which appears to depict red and black targets, housed within a makeshift container-built maze. More info tomorrow… pic.tw

Since Fortnite Battle Royale launched in September of last year there’s been over 10 different LTMs, each offering the player a unique spin on Fortnite’s battle royale formula. Final Fight is a large team mode (originally teams of 20, then teams of 12) where the match goes about normally until the third storm phase finishes, then a timer appears. It’s great practice, but not great fun. Teams of 2050v50 was the first LTM ever introduced to the game and was the first chance we got to experience “b

In Anno 1800 you’ll grow a small, rustic farming community into a prosperous, bustling, cultured city by harnessing the mighty powers of steam and steel.

More than we could ever fit into one game, actually!” Anno 1800, he says, is based mainly on the Second Industrial Revolution, which counted railroads and electricity among its world-changing technological advancements.

As a Max Payne 2 fan, the opening chords of Late Goodbye by Finnish band Poets of the Fall always give me a shiver of nostalgia. When I think about Max Payne 2, I think of that acoustic guitar and those low, swelling strings. You overhear snippets of Late Goodbye throughout Max Payne 2. “Then I took the overall atmosphere of the piece and the phrase ‘late goodbye’ and wrote the lyrics around those themes.

The video gives you a look at some of those towns, as well as taverns and castles, and I already want to explore them. Th

Our Cyberpunk 2077: Everything we know about CD Projekt’s next RPG roundup suggests The Witcher 3 dev’s latest will be huge. Speaking to Samuel at Gamescom, quest designer Patrick Mills says logic was crucial while crafting The Witcher 3’s DLC quests. “[The process] has gotten even more complicated in Cyberpunk—there are more multiple ways to resolve individual quests.

Ubisoft is making a new game in strategy series The Settlers, it has announced. It’s simply called—in line with annoying modern game-naming standards—The Settlers, and it’ll be with us in fall/autumn 2019.

Ubisoft is also re-releasing modernised versions of The Settlers 1 through 7 in a History Collection that will be out November 15. You can watch a trailer for the History Collection below.
