Haunted Space was unveiled overnight at the Future Games Show. Haunted Space is a game of many components: it’s mainly a space shooter, but one with a horror narrative about humanity’s future civilization clashing with ancient space aliens. It’s also a bit of an Everspace, a game where you build spaceships, trade, and scavenge for resources to upgrade your ship. Haunted Space is set in a fictional galaxy where humanity has found a new home after the discovery of Sonic Matter, a unique source of energy....

So far we’ve only been drip fed tiny morsels of what we can expect from the live-action take on Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, like these posters earlier this week, and a short teaser in August. But HBO has released a full trailer for us all to take a gander at, which is bafflingly set to a movie-trailer-dramatic version of a-ha’s Take On Me. If you’re new to the series, the trailer does a helpful job of setting up the main concept: Joel is taking Ellie, a teenage girl that’s been bitten by an infected person, but hasn’t turned herself, across to the west-side of the country to understand why she’s alive, and possibly figure out a cure....

A look at some of the weapons you will be using in Deathloop has been provided in a new gameplay video. In the exclusive gameplay clip you see below from Game Informer, you get a look at a knife, the Tribunal pistol, the Strelak 50-50 assault rifle, a PT-6 Spiker which is similar to a nailgun, and the Fourpounder hand cannon. In Deathloop, your goal is to takes down eight targets called Visionaries in one loop....

The beta for Steam China is officially live, and with it, comes a host of games approved by Chinese regulators. All games need to obtain this approval before being listed on the store, but it’s looking promising so far. As shared by Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad on Twitter, Steam China co-operator Perfect World published a trailer showing all the games Chinese players can currently buy on the localised version of Valve’s platform....

IO Interactive says by the end of February, PC players on Steam will be able to port their Hitman 2 levels into Hitman 3. This means that the solution to bring Hitman 2 levels from Steam into Hitman 3 through the Epic Games Store seems to be worked out. Previously, the ability to import locations was not workable. “Whilst we’ve been busy launching Hitman 3, we’ve also been working on the promised solution for allowing PC players to import locations that they already own into the game on Epic,” reads the forum post from IO....

We got a pretty hefty chunk of new gameplay, giving players a look at Hornet and their new fighting style. Bosses were shown, as were tight platforming sections. The new trailer was great for Xbox players, as the game had only been confirmed for Nintendo Switch and PC initially. We now know that Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch on Xbox Game Pass, day one. This means that subscribers will be able to play at no additional charge....

One of today’s more surprising reveals has to be Crossfire: Legion, a new real-time strategy from Homeworld developer Blackbird Interactive. Yes, that means the game is based on Smilegate’s global Crossfire brand, which the Korean company seems keen to expand beyond just Asia and the Middle East, where it’s most recognisable. Crossfire: Legion is published by Prime Matter. In development for PC, Crossfire: Legion is designed as the next evolution of the RTS genre....

This will take you to Gotham University, where you’ll find your first story mission. Following a brief movement tutorial, you’ll be introduced to the investigation mechanic, which will teach you how to observe your environment, and analyse clues to come to the right conclusion at crime scenes. This first crime scene is fairly simple, but we thought we’d explain how all of these puzzles work in Gotham Knights, and how to quickly identify clues and solve cases....

It’s essentially an enhanced version of the fight against the regular Ancestor Spirit you may have faced in Siofra River, though with one crucial difference: this one can heal itself. Defeating this boss has no bearing on the ending you receive, but you will get thousands of Runes and access to some unique abilities at the end. When should you fight the Regal Ancestor Spirit in Elden Ring? The Regal Ancestor Spirit is an optional boss that offers up a Remembrance....

You’ll run across most of them just by playing the game, but if you want to see those numbers rise even higher, there’s one place to visit. How to make money in Forza Horizon 5 Spend skill points The easiest way to make money in Forza Horizon 5 is spending skill points, which you’ll get by pulling off skills of any kind either during free-roam exploration or races. Drifting, reaching high speeds, kangaroo hopping across the landscape — there’s dozens of ways to fill up the golden tire skill meter and earn points....

If this were a Scorcese picture, the pseudonym would be a nod to the years I’d spent behind bars. If it were a Guy Richie film, it’d be an indecipherable line of Cockney slang. But in this FiveM Grand Theft Auto 5 roleplay server that boasts external mod support, it’s because I’ve been transformed into a ’lookout seagull’ for the mob, who communicates with its street-level comrades via the medium of bird shit....

Marvel Snap is better than it has any right to be. It certainly is too good for the likes of me: a strictly single-player person who much prefers a cosy PlayStation exclusive with exploration and narrative and not a single other human being getting involved to ruin everything. But I couldn’t stay away, could I? Because you lot wouldn’t stop going on about it. And now I have a permanent imprint of my toilet seat on my arse and legs....

Don’t get me wrong, I knew the suit appeared to change colour at times, but I never really thought to look into it. I assumed it had to do with the lighting, or… I don’t know! I usually had so much cargo stacked on my back, arms, and legs that I couldn’t even see the suit. If you’re concentrating on a slow descent from the peak of a gigantic, unforgiving mountain, the last thing you’re thinking of is, “oh, that’s a slightly darker shade of grey than before, isn’t it?...

Only a few days ago, we got to see 13 minutes of Sable in action. Now, the action-adventure with a very Moebius-inspired art style, has an official release date. It was announced with a performance from Japanese Breakfast (which you can watch over on Twitch or YouTube) and the band’s styles really fit in with the lovely visuals the game boasts. Sable was announced by developer Shedworks back at E3 2018, and players have been eager to see more of its magical visuals for a while....

One of Call of Duty: Warzone’s most criticised aspects is how developer Infinity Ward continues to rotate the list of available modes on a weekly basis. Though that keeps things interesting, players are often disappointed when they find that their favourite mode is gone. This is a conscious decision on the part of Infinity Ward, but the developer is working on more elaborate stories for Warzone. Speaking to Gamesbeat, narrative director Taylor Kurosaki talked a little bit about his team’s role in evolving the game’s narrative away from the standard campaign....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s latest update since last week’s big patch brings a simple refresh to the game’s playlist. These often drop on Tuesdays, so the timing is not really surprising. What is interesting, though, is the fact developer Infinity Ward appears to be trolling players with the names and content of these playlists. Today is April Fools Day, of course, and so the playlists are on brand. We’ll go through all of them here, but the most audacious is the I Have Trust Issues playlist....

Christopher, who tweeted this info in a post on their favourite video game easter egg, responded to a fan asking whether an easter egg that references the upcoming game being worked on at Bungie had been added to Destiny 2, similar to the Destiny Awaits secret hidden away in Halo 3: ODST all those years ago. This, as you may imagine, has caused a sharp increase in speculation regarding what exactly this easter egg could be, if it either exists....

Some stealth games even codify unconsciousness as the non-lethal option - an extra difficulty level for those who like the quiet satisfaction of overcoming self-imposed rules. If you can make it to the end without resorting to a gun, you’ll unlock a special trophy and unique ending as reward for your pacifism. Except it’s not pacifism, really, is it? Outside the context of fictional conflict zones, knocking somebody unconscious is an extraordinarily violent thing to do....

It appears a Super Mario LEGO set is coming soon, according to teases from Nintendo and LEGO posted to Twitter. Today is Mario Day so the tease hints that an announcement is coming soon. It’s possible the collaboration could be announced during a Nintendo Direct, or just a typical press release - but what’s clear is that a Super Mario and LEGO collaboration is on the way.

The information comes from the LinkedIn profile of a former director of product development at Sony Santa Monica Studio. In the section for describing duties involved in a former role, ex-Sony Chacko Sonny writes that he “led the studio comprised of two teams at a peak headcount of over 150 professionals, to complete the most recent installment of the God of War series (God of War: Ascension).” “Title reviewed at 80 Metacritic, and shipped more than 3M units (grossing over $100M), securing a strong ROI for the product and franchise,” the duty list continues....
