According to a report by Game File's Stephen Totilo, "most" of Star Wars Zero Company's studio, Bit Reactor, has been without pay since before launch. A sizeable chunk of the staff were furloughed ahead of release, with a rep for Bit Reactor telling Totilo that it was "a difficult decision and one that had been [...]

It must be so tricky, taking on a project beloved by so many, but that's exactly what Jean-Félix Monin and the team over at Ubisoft are doing with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Remake. A cornerstone of turn-based tactics and PC gaming in general, the series still has a following and, therefore, an expectation [...]

PM Studios has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, from huge projects like Avatar Legends to smaller endeavors like Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. We sat down with the company CEO, Michael Yum, at Gamescom to find out just what it's like to work with established IPs v indies, and how he [...]

"The reason we have the animated trailers and everything, it comes from me sitting down one evening and being like, I want to make Valheim: The Anime." Robin Eyre, Valheim's Creative Lead, talks us through just why he went all-in on slick cinematics, what he hopes for the future, and how things didn't quite turn [...]

The food analogies are strong with the Total War: Warhammer 40k devs this year. We sat down for a chat with Joy Dey, Lead Designer, and Dave Petry, Battle Products Owner, to talk about the scale of 40k, how you build a good Warhammer sauce, and if we're going to see Necrons any time soon. [...]

Alien Isolation, like most of the films in the legendary series, is claustrophobic. That's the point; you're trapped somewhere with something otherworldly and terrifying - there is nowhere to go, nowhere to run. Hiding is often the best bet. With Alien Isolation 2 adding outdoor, open areas into the mix, we wondered how that affects [...]

There are a fair few themes floating around in the first Plague Tale and its sequel Requiem, perhaps none of which have stuck with us as much as the hordes of rats that were occasionally at our beck and call. A very real symbol of plague, and visually, a stunning bit of kit. Strange then, [...]

We haven't had a new K/DA song, or, in fact, heard anything from the elite League of Legends girl group for years - hopefully that's going to change, and soon. There is a new registration with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) by a band called K/DA for a track named 'Watch [...]

The spool-up to a new EA Sports football title should be familiar to anyone with even a passing interest in the sport. There's always a new feature or two, and an effort to improve on the year before - shooting, dribbling, overall tactics; these have been under the spotlight on several occasions. What people find, [...]

Arc Raiders was a smash hit; a runaway success that somehow got derailed. Developer Embark Studios' job is now to get it back on track. We sat down with Alex Grondal, Executive Producer of Arc Raiders, at Gamescom to talk about the Frozen Trail update for the shooter, as well as what it's going to [...]

Way back in Snapshot 2, the Minecraft team started making changes to Drowned behaviour, most notably their use of tridents. From then on, any Drowned that got within three blocks of a player would use their tridents as melee weapons rather than throw them. There have also been changes in subsequent Snapshots, improving animations and [...]

A new multiplayer mode is coming to Solasta 2 next month, allowing players to invite friends into their world, vote on important game decisions, and, depending on how sneaky they are, vacuum up all the loot without anyone noticing. Solasta 2 multiplayer will be available from Thursday, September 10, and is a free update for [...]

There are some videogame worlds I could see myself living in; those with beautiful environments, friendly people, and a real sense of adventure. Metro 2039 is not one of those games. A real hellhole, where the smallest of victories require the largest of efforts - it's a dour place that reeks of death. I quite [...]
