Rock Paper ShotgunI'm finding the relatively recent trend of supposedly calming diorama builders in games to be an interesting one in that there's a clear desire amongst creatively inclined folks to be crafting something in virtual environments, just not necessarily at scale. Just this week I wrote about Sandcastle, a literal sandbox game where you build sandcastles, and of course there's Tiny Glade too which good ole Christian Donlan loved. And now there's Midnight Moments, a cyberpunk diorama builder that has m

GameSpotElectronic Arts will become a private company again very soon, with the gaming giant set to be acquired by an investors' group led by the Saudi Arabian government. As revealed in today's SEC filing, "all regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger have been obtained. Electronic Arts currently expects the Merger to close on or about the close of trading on August 4, 2026." The news comes just after the deal was approved by the European Union. The $55 billion deal is among the biggest eve
Rock Paper ShotgunWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive clearly like to keep themselves busy, as today they've announced the next game that they're publishing. It's called Rideshare "Stimulator" (I should note those quotation marks are a part of the title), and it is essentially a game all about being an Uber driver for a city full of oddballs. Read more

GameSpotLast month's Nintendo Direct was full of all types of treats for Kingdom Hearts fans, including the announcement that native versions of the entire Kingdom Hearts trilogy will be coming to Switch 2 via the release of The Kingdom Hearts Collection [I-III]. Players did not respond well to the trilogy's key art, which Square Enix shared on X shortly after the announcement. Players quickly noticed several strange details in the image, and accused Square Enix of using generative AI to create it. Game
Rock Paper ShotgunThere is an obvious humour to be found in the contrast between the visual presentation of Mario Party and the agita and unbridled rage it brings out in people. This is not a game about violence, yet it pulls it out from people nonetheless. So, how about something that leans into this violence, while still retaining the jovially competitive nature? Enter Machine Party, the latest from Buckshot Roulette developer Mike Klubnika, made alongside GDeavid, a party game "where failure is lethal." Read m
GameSpotDiablo 4 Season 15 will receive a new character Rebirth feature--one that will allow players to convert Eternal Realm characters into seasonal ones. Usually, it goes the opposite way. Characters at the end of a season are automatically converted into non-seasonal Eternal Realm ones, where they typically languish in neglect until they need to be deleted to make room for new seasonal characters. As part of the newly detailed Season 15, developer Blizzard will instead let players continue to play t

GameSpotDiablo 4's next season will see the return of some of the most iconic items from throughout the franchise's history, including powerful rings like Stone of Jordan and Ring of Royal Grandeur. The currently ongoing Season 14 hasn't exactly been Diablo 4's best season, but Blizzard is looking to give players an early preview of what's coming in Season 15 with a playable public-test realm build available August 4-11. As detailed in an official blog post, it's a season that looks to introduce several

GameSpotHelldivers 2 players will soon be able to dish out death to Super Earth enemies with Warhammer 40K weapons like the Meltagun, Bolt Pistol, and more. Games Workshop's grimdark Warhammer 40K universe is the next crossover coming to developer Arrowhead Studios' popular shooter on August 12 in the form of a Legendary Warbond, joining the likes of Halo and Killzone. While there are none of the setting's iconic Space Marines in sight, 40K's Astra Militarum faction is instead getting the spotlight. As
GameSpotThe gig economy comes for us all in the end, and if you've ever worked a few Uber shifts, you'll be well aware how some customers are a bit… odd. That's the vibe that Rideshare Stimulator--no, that is not a typo, and the game title is stylized as Rideshare "Stimulator" for some reason, but we're not doing that--is attempting to capture. https://youtu.be/lQxBAE1tE8g Like the many, many simulator games on the market, Rideshare Stimulator is aiming to authentically replicate what it's like to be a
Rock Paper ShotgunSkills in RuneScape have always tickled me because of the sheer variety on display, and this extends to Dragonwilds too. There's magic, but then there's woodcutting. You've got prayer, and also fishing. And of course you've got runecrafting, or agility. It's that last one that's important for today's purposes, as a new update has arrived in Dragonwilds that revamp the skill, as well as add in some courses for you to pseudo-parkour across. Read more
