Metro 2039 has just shown off its latest gameplay at Gamescom Opening Night Live, and the new “Renegade” trailer only needs around two minutes to make one thing clear: the Metro is still an absolutely miserable place to be. Thankfully, that is exactly why we want to go back. The footage immediately brings back memories of Metro 2033. Tight underground spaces, weak lighting, abandoned corners and the constant feeling that something unpleasant could be hiding just outside your flashlight beam...

Over a decade after its initial announcement and subsequent cancellation, Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets has officially brought his long-lost passion project back to life.

Farming Simulator 25 has revealed more details about Beans & Alpacas, the upcoming DLC for the game. This time, GIANTS Software is focusing on bananas, a crop that comes with its own dedicated cultivation system rather than simply being added to the existing farming mechanics.

Following the recent network test, FromSoftware has revealed more details about th game. It turns out that the studio is preparing to throw players into a rather unusual multiplayer experiment with The Duskbloods, and apparently doesn't want newcomers to spend their first few hours wondering why everyone else seems to have a PhD in vampire murder.

CD Projekt Red has finally answered the question that has been following The Witcher 4 around like a particularly persistent monster contract: when is it actually coming out? The answer is 2028, although there is an important little asterisk attached to that year. The studio has confirmed a release window rather than a firm date, meaning Ciri's next great adventure is still several years away. The news came from CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski in a video published ahead of...

Most horror games are happy enough when they make you jump. SILENT BREATH takes things a little further: it actually listens for the scream that comes afterwards. The setup is wonderfully cruel. You head into a dark, photorealistic forest looking for missing people, knowing that something out there is waiting to ruin your night. Meanwhile, your microphone can become part of the experience, so panicking too loudly is not exactly the smartest survival strategy. Naturally, that sounds easier than it is. Between...

Somehow, their wonderfully silly take on fishing has turned into one of 2026’s biggest indie surprises. Within only...
