Dragon Age writer's musical RPG Stray Gods delayed to avoid Baldur's Gate 3's release

We want everyone to have ample space to check out Stray Gods when it launches, explained Summerfall Studios. Baldurs Gate is hotly anticipated (by us, too!) and we want to give our fans room to celebrate Stray Gods. Or perhaps an RPG sandwich to look forward to. Extra leg space isnt the only reason for the delay, though. Stray Gods is part choose-your-own-adventure game, part RPG, and all musical theatre....

Everyone's least favourite Diablo game gets the series' first new class in nearly a decade

Put simply, theyre not having fun. Tormented, in pain, fighting the urge to turn into a raging monster and eat people. Blood Knights do get a host of cool abilities, however, so the trade seems pretty fair. Regardless, the half-man half-vampire class was announced last week during Blizzard’s livestream. OurDiablo 4 reviewsaid it was very well made despite some been-there-done-that monotony. So hopefully the Blood Knights can make their way over to Diablo 4 at some point, too....

HBO’s The Last of Us makes history as the first live-action video game adaptation nominated for major awards

The best game-to-screen adaptation yet? In this case, the Emmys, where its up for no less than two dozen awards.

Classic construction sim Factorio now has controller support

Good news for Steam Deck players Automated construction simFactorionow has controller support. Originally added to the experimental branch with update 1.1.87, it’s now available on the main stable release. Among other benefits, it means the all-consuming management game should now work better on Steam Deck. That should no longer be the case now that there’s official controller support. Controllers such as the Xbox pad are also often better for accessibility than keyboard and mouse....

Cult horror classic Clock Tower is getting a remaster next year

His names Scissorman, a worthy rival to Pyramid Head I think. And your only form of protection is to hide, use traps, and run. Should those modern hide-and-seekers be called Clock Tower-likes, then? That may lead to some tears though, as the above video teases a heartbreaking story. Mix that with some Giallo influences, and my interest is definitely piqued. Clock Towers creator Kono Hifumi took a stab at recreating that original magic withNightCrya few years ago....

EA Sports FC 24's gameplay reveal trailer reveals one second of gameplay

Women players will also be available in Ultimate Team for the first time. It’s a step forward since women’s club football was first added in the last iteration. “Hypermotion” animation also returns. Everything else shown or discussed was vague, expected, or measly. They bragged about their “GPU Cloth”, which aims to make player kits swoosh around more believably. Because if a game has cool new ideas, they tend to be self-evident....

Ubisoft said we can live a very powerful shinobi fantasy. Expect a world map thatll turn your eyes into mush as you tackle every marker. Good signs all around. Assassins Creed Mirage comes out on October 12th.
