Meccha Chameleon has built its reputation around colourful camouflage, silly poses and players desperately pretending to be part of the scenery. However, the cheerful hide-and-seek game recently faced a much more serious kind of hiding problem after malicious mod maps, malware and a hacked Discord server created plenty of confusion across its community.     Malicious...

Carnival Hunt may look like another entry in the increasingly crowded asymmetrical horror genre, but its wind-up key system gives every match a wonderfully tense identity of its own. Instead of simply copying the familiar “one monster versus a team of survivors” formula, Beer Night Studio has built the entire game around a single resource that controls sound, movement, survival and cooperation. Players take the role of clockwork Bunnies trying to escape a deadly carnival while being hunted by a powerful...

City States: Medieval is an indie strategy hybrid developed by Reverie World Studios and published by indie.io that was released into Early Access on April 20, 2026. Set across 12th-century Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, the game focuses on surviving as an independent city-state between massive neighboring kingdoms.  Unlike traditional grand strategy titles (like Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis) that force you to paint the map and build sprawling multi-continent empires, City States: Medieval focuses on a...

Santa Monica Studio has finally stopped teasing us and put an actual date on God of War Laufey. The upcoming PlayStation 5 adventure will launch on February 16, 2027, giving fans a little over six months to prepare for a God of War game in which Kratos is, surprisingly, not the one doing all the smashing. Yes, the franchise is putting its famously grumpy Greek-to-Norse murder machine on the sidelines for a moment. Instead, God of War Laufey puts the spotlight...

DragonSword: Awakening has one of the strangest comeback stories we have seen from an anime action RPG in quite some time. What started as a Korean free-to-play live service was rebuilt into a premium PC game, stripped of its gacha systems and released on Steam after surviving a legal attempt to stop its launch. Against the odds, the gamble has paid off. Developed by Hound13, DragonSword: Awakening now offers its colourful open world, large roster of heroes and fast tag-team combat...

Crime simulators are having a serious moment, and Dirty Business has arrived ready to build an entire underground empire. Developed by Plan Dirty Games, this first-person management game launched in Early Access with solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Instead of limiting players to a single illegal operation, it throws drugs, weapons, counterfeit money, employees and large-scale deliveries into one increasingly chaotic criminal business. The obvious comparison is Schedule I, the hugely popular crime simulator that...

RECUR is an upcoming atmospheric 2.5D puzzle-platformer developed by German indie studio kaleidoscube and published by Astra Logical, a team behind  A Juggler's Tale. In this narrative adventure, players step into the shoes of an ordinary postman caught in the middle of a sudden catastrophic apocalypse. However, the disaster grants him an extraordinary ability: direct control over the flow of time itself. To survive the collapse and uncover the origin of his powers, players must manipulate environmental physics to...

The ink on MI6's latest mission report is barely dry, but 007: First Light is already expanding its dossier. IO Interactive has deployed the game's first major post-launch update, giving aspiring secret agents a fresh batch of high-risk assignments, new hardware to unlock, a sharp new outfit, and a sweeping round of fixes that smooth out the experience from start to finish.

Sometimes the biggest enemy in an online game is everyone trying to log in at the same time. That's exactly what PlayStation players experienced shortly after the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls open beta went live, as the PlayStation Network (PSN) was hit by widespread connectivity issues that left countless fans staring at error messages instead of superhero showdowns. The massive anticipation for the beta has been underestimated The problems surfaced only hours after the beta launched on PlayStation 5 and PC, with...

Palworld’s massive 1.0 launch is starting to look like much more than a quick nostalgia-fuelled comeback. Instead of reaching its highest player count during launch weekend and immediately sliding down the Steam charts, Pocketpair’s survival hit attracted even more players during its second weekend—and reportedly sold another 1.8 million copies in the process. That is a seriously impressive result for a game that originally exploded onto the scene in Early Access back in January 2024. Many players had already spent dozens,...

ARC Raiders has rolled out Store Update 1.38.0 across every platform, and while it is smaller than a full content drop, it could make a noticeable difference to everyday raids. The headline change is a new round of matchmaking optimization, with Embark Studios testing adjustments designed to create fairer and more enjoyable encounters. The update also marks the latest Expedition Departure and adds two fresh color options for an existing outfit. Matchmaking is easily the most interesting part of the...

Alongside the new Hero, this update also marks the return of Metal Trials, a familiar event packed with increasingly difficult challenges and exclusive rewards for players....
