GameSpotIt's been another rough year for video games, with countless studio closures, staff layoffs, and projects that barely managed to even get off the ground before they were unceremoniously cut short. But things are feeling especially grim after EA trotted out two beloved franchises--Mass Effect and Dragon Age--for what amounted to a public execution via the announcement that BioWare has been shuttered. This was especially painful for Mass Effect players, who were looking forward to the upcoming Mas

GameSpotPublisher Activision has responded to criticism over using a devastating tragedy in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, saying that the incident will be removed from the military shooter in a November 12 update. The Seoul Halloween crowd crush occurred in October 2022 in Itaewon. Approximately 100,000 people gathered in a narrow alleyway in Seoul, resulting in 160 casualties as people were suffocated. This year marks the fourth anniversary of the tragedy, with bereaved families and community organiz
GameSpotThere's a new voice behind the protagonist of Soul in Phantom Blade Zero, and it's none other than Sonic the Hedgehog--or his longtime voice actor, Roger Craig Smith, to be precise. As spotted by Game Informer, Smith has stepped in to replace Jay Maksenuk (V in Once Human). You can still hear the latter in the various trailers for Phantom Blade Zero, and developer S-Game hasn't revealed why they brought Smith on as a last-minute replacement. Both actors have several video game credits, and as Ga
Rock Paper ShotgunThe postmortem on BioWare, following their shuttering by EA this month, points to the publisher's preference to back Star Wars Battlefront 3 over Mass Effect 5 as the main factor in the demise of the beloved RPG developer. That's according to Bloomberg, who also report that a couple of other factors likely also had some influence. Read more
GameSpotIf you thought there wasn't going to be a new Assassin's Creed game this year, think again. It's not a video game, but Assassin's Creed: Animus is out today, turning the series into an adventure-style board game for 1-4 players. A competitive game that pits players against each other as they explore distinct eras from the video games, Assassin's Creed: Animus features four protagonists to choose from in its standard edition: Eivor, Ezio, Altair, and Connor. The Collector's Edition, meanwhile, ex
Rock Paper ShotgunExcellent apocalypse RPG World of Horror has just received a sizeable free update, As Below So Above, adding no less than two Old Godly invasions for you to identify and thwart. One of these additional cosmic disasters involves four cults summoning their fave abominations at the same time. I picture them forming a shaky barbershop quartet on the skyline, while stamping the streets to mush. Damn it, Ath-Yolazsth – you're leading again! Also in As Below So Above: more "enemies, mysteries, characte
GameSpotEA recently announced it was shutting down BioWare, ending a studio responsible for multiple hit games over 30 years. According to a new report, EA's decision was driven by economics, as it had to choose between funding a new Mass Effect and backing the safer bet, Star Wars: Battlefront 3. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reported that EA had to choose between two costly projects, and with the added pressure of paying off $18 billion in leveraged debt after its sale to a business consortium and Saudi

EurogamerI've been captivated by the idea of wrong-footing an audience ever since playing Faith: The Unholy Trinity. That game presents like an 8-bit horror, then proceeds to bend the rules of what an 8-bit game can do - or perhaps what you remember they could do - in order to surprise and scare you. Tenebris Somnia is very similar. Indeed, it's executive produced by the developer of Faith, Airdorf Games, so the connection runs even deeper. Tenebris Somnia utilises the same retro aesthetic with its grind
EurogamerCrimson Desert is one of 2026's most successful releases. The game managed to sell over 6 million copies in just three months, and ended up being so profitable that its publisher ended up giving each employee at development studio Pearl Abyss a $3,400 bonus. Since launch, the dev has been committed to improving the game and correcting some of the more egregious issues that were present at launch. Read more
EurogamerA new report has revealed that EA closed BioWare because it was forced to choose between investing in one of two sci-fi projects: a new Mass Effect game or a new Star Wars Battlefront game. And it chose the latter. Read more
GameSpotOnly a few more weeks remain before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and while Rockstar Games recently lifted the lid on its big open-world sequel, that's still not enough. There's definitely value in approaching a game with as little knowledge as possible so that you can enjoy any potential surprises, but we're not those people. Instead, senior video producer Jake Dekker decided to grab a folder of high-resolution GTA 6 screenshots--a whole 99 of them, not including the p
EurogamerDan Greenawalt, director, founder, and vice president at Turn 10 Games, has departed from the studio after spending 27 years as part of the company. This comes as Turn 10 is merged with Playground Games as part of Xbox's mass restructuring initiative that made headlines as it resulted in 3200 layoffs and four studio closures earlier this year.
