Vampyr, Dontnod’s turn-of-the-20th-century game about life, death, morality, and bloodsucking, sounds like it could actually be a really good game. “Delaying the release of a project you hold dear is always a tough decision. We were still convinced just a few weeks ago that we would be able to release Vampyr this year. Unfortunately, a technical issue—now solved—has set our teams’ schedule back at the end of the development,” Dontnod CEO Oskar Guilbert said in a statement. That sets the bar awfu

We have not forgotten about Cannon Lake, the elusive architecture that perhaps has already launched in a parallel universe. To prove it, the company showcased a Cannon Lake wafer at its Technology Manufacturing Day yesterday in China. It was the first time that a Cannon Lake wafer has been on display. Given the repeated delays, Digitimes claims that some vendors are even considering skipping over Cannon Lake and waiting for Ice Lake. Interestingly, Intel as recently as June went on record saying

Minecraft’s “Better Together” update, “the first big step toward unifying Minecraft for console, mobile and Windows 10,” is now live. Also on tap in the update are a host of new items, new world start and host options, game rules, and more. The release of the new version of Minecraft will also bring about some new names. “Going forward, the Bedrock Engine-based version of Minecraft will be called simply Minecraft on all platforms,” the Better Together FAQ states. The Minecraft: Better Together u

Yesterday, Bundles Stars’ seven-day Epic Gaming Loot Giveaway kicked off, and we’ve partnered with the digital distributor in giving away a host of big PC gaming-related prizes over the coming days. Now, Day 2’s prize has been revealed. The grand prize winner will receive an HTC Vive plus one of the following Razer bundles. Two runners-up will nab the Razer bundle on its own:Razer Basilisk (mouse)—RRP $69Razer Ornata Chroma (mecha membrane keyboard)—RRP $99.99Razer Kraken Pro V2 (wired headset)—

AOC today expands its Agon line of monitors with a new AG322QCX model that offers a 32-inch panel with a fast 144Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time for $400. The new display features a 2560×1440 resolution with 300 nits brightness, 2000:1 contrast ratio, and 178-degree viewing angles (horizontal and vertical). It uses an MVA panel—these offer better color reproduction and viewing angles than TN panels, but some feel they’re not quite as visually appealing as IPS panels. AOC also chose to go w

With a sword in your right hand and a whip in your left, City of Brass sends you into procedurally generated districts in a city inspired by Arabian Nights. The fundamentals of City of Brass are already in place, which can’t be said for a lot of new games on Early Access. Games have fallen in love with bows in recent years; thanks to City of Brass I now want multi-purpose whips in all games now. City of Brass reminds me that items and special powers are so important in parmadeath roguelikes with

Games have been getting progressively more cinematic for years, but even so, projects like Otis are a rare extreme. It’s more of a movie than a game, but there are enough interactive elements that it isn’t easy to classify. Otis is greater than the sum of its parts, and it gets more interesting the more you swap perspectives. In many ways, Otis makes you a cameraman. It lets you experience the same story in different ways, which seems to have been Otis’s goal.

The debut season of the Overwatch League will get underway with 12 teams, Blizzard announced today, as three more outfits have been added to the roster: In Dallas, represented by Team Envy; Houston, now home to OpTiC Gaming; and Philadelphia, whose team will be fielded by Philadelphia Flyers owner Comcast Spectacor. The three cities join previously-announced outfits in Boston, New York, Los Angeles (which actually has two teams), Miami-Orlando, San Francisco, London, Shanghai, and Seoul. “With t

Last week, Epic Games revealed Fornite Battle Royale—a last person standing competitive arena mode for its base-building FPS Fortnite. Billed as a “battle bus”, Battle Royale’s sprawling map houses 100 players in a PUBG et al-style PvP mode that’s filled with destructible scenery. Elsewhere on that fact sheet, Epic says vehicles and more maps are planned down the line, and that Battle Royale going free does not mean it has abandoned its Early Access-dwelling PvE campaign. Fortnite Battle Royale

Within, he discussed the possibility of a single player campaign, new vehicles for the game’s new and incoming map, and a tribute to ’90s comedy show Father Ted. “I would love to add a single player campaign to the game,” says Greene when asked of the features he’d love to see added to the game. “We do have plans to add systems like this,” explains Greene. “We also want to add a character leveling system and weapon skill systems (that doesn’t affect game-play) and other progression systems. And

For the next couple of weeks on Bundle Stars you can save money on up to 15 “deadly” games. There are three tiers to choose from, and you unlock more games the more you pay. Clear SkyShadowrun ReturnsShoppe KeepEon Altar: Episode 1A solid selection of games which is definitely worth a buck. FaceRig isn’t technically a game, but there’s a lot of fun to be had with webcam software. At normal price, all of this normally costs over $300, so there’s plenty of savings to be had here.

Announced last month, CODumentary—Devolver Digital’s unofficial behind-the-scenes look at Activision’s enduring war shooter series—is out now. Driven by the off-beat publisher’s Films division, CODumentary charts the shooter’s “incredible” rise to fame—exploring its place in the early 2000’s FPS landscape, through to its juggernaut status today. The documentary drills down into all areas of Call Of Duty esports—the teams, coaches, professional players, and broadcasters, and looks at what it take

In the wake of its substantial September update, PUBG’s latest and 26th weekly update isn’t nearly as generous but does target a number of bugs and other adjustments. On the bug fixing front, the update hits the following:Fixed a bug that enabled angled foregrip to attach to Tommy Gun. Fixed a bug that did not cancel a player’s reload if the character was knocked out during the reload. Fixed a bug where an uncooked grenade could explode if a character was knocked out while holding it. PUBG’s 26t

Yesterday saw the release of a brand new Call of Duty: WW2 story trailer, but today we’ve got another whopping four. Each focuses on one of the game’s main protagonists – so if you were looking for more footage of the multiplayer in action, you’ll have to wait. In terms of what we do have though: we have profiles of Private Ronald “Red Daniels, a Texan and the main playable character of the game. Lieutenant Joseph Turner is the commander (ie, the guy who’ll probably be barking orders at you), wh

The latest Humble Bundle is well worth a look – especially if you’ve yet to play Shadow of Mordor. Because if you pay more than the average, which at the moment stands at US$6.72, you’ll also get Shadow of Mordor: Game of the Year Edition, Ultimate Chicken Horse and Oxenfree. Ten bucks for eight games, including a game which is otherwise quite expensive, is a decent deal. Meanwhile, if you’re keen to pre-order the forthcoming Shadow of Mordor sequel Shadow of War, you can do so for $80. All prev

Image & Form Games announced last week that Steamworld Dig 2 will arrive on the PC on September 22, just one day—rather than the “few days” we expected—after it debuts on the Nintendo Switch. With both of those dates now looming, the studio has released the official launch trailer, showing off some of the game’s lovely underground environments and a handful of the nasties who live in them. Steamworld Dig 2 is a robotic spelunking adventure that takes place in a steam-driven, Wild West-style worl

Data indicates that in most cases, review scores recover to an appropriate level once the bombing campaign is over, but there’s no apparent correlation between a developer’s response (or lack thereof) to complaints and the score’s bounceback. Ultimately, the decision was to do nothing, at least with regard to the review scores themselves. “It also has the benefit of allowing you to see how a game’s reviews have evolved over time, which is great for games that are operating as services. “This wil

Koei Tecmo confirmed in August that the open-world hack-and-slasher Dynasty Warriors 9 will be coming to the PC. There was no release date available at the time, but today the publisher announced a “window” of early 2018, and unveiled a new “Action!” The trailer introduces Dynasty Warrior 9’s “story, characters, and locations,” Koei Tecmo said, which I have to say really stretches the concept of “introduction.” Trigger Attacks are powerful moves that change an enemy’s state,” Koei Tecmo explaine

Staring into the eyes of Senua, the heroine of Ninja Theory’s latest game Hellblade, hurts like staring into the sun. Senua’s eyes allow a glimpse of a gaming landscape where the lines between indie and so-called “triple-A” games are blurred. “We looked at indie games with some envy,” Matthews says, while waxing poetic about games like The Stanley Parable and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, both remarkable games that took risks larger publishers wouldn’t. With Hellblade, Ninja Theory saw a chan
