After a hasty court case, the Microsoft/Activision merger has taken a giant leap towards being closed. The FTC wanted the merger to be halted, but today Judge Jacqueline Corley allowed the deal to go ahead. The FTC, she said, had failed to show that competition would be lowered because of the merger. In fact, the opposite is true. She said: “This Court’s responsibility in this case is narrow. It is to decide if, notwithstanding these current circumstances, the merger should…

The game will be developed by the EA studio Cliffhanger which developed Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor. Not much is known about the game yet other than it’ll be a story-driven game that’ll let you explore Wakanda! That should be really cool. No system or launch date have been announced so…

I went into Game for the first time in a while yesterday. I was met with a bit of a surprise. PSVR2 – a steal at nearly £600 with a game. I’m not sure who is doing the stealing, but it isn’t whoever bought it. And that’s all good and well. People can buy what they want for whatever price they want. I can call them ridiculous, they can ignore me. It’s the circle of life. But once the initial…

Gylt is a very personal game that comes from the close experience of one relative of a studio member. Her little cousin was suffering from bullying at school. And what’s more terrifying than what’s more realistic and closer to our daily lives. We developed this original idea into a delicate horror game in which our young protagonist, Sally, is looking for her missing cousin, Emily. In her journey she will start running away from bullies and will be taken into…

To cut a long story short, the answer is a resounding no – but only for now. Before we get too much into this topic, it should be said that this is probably an answer that is probably relatively unique to each of us. Depending on how your feed looks – perhaps influenced by what you used Instagram for – you might have a very different answer. But the point remains that you’ll not be able to use Instagram’s (and…

Bitwave Games, a modern retro game studio and part of Embracer Freemode, is delighted to announce the long-awaited NES™ platformer Gimmick! Special Edition is available for digital download today. A legendary title from SUNSOFT, masters of the NES™ platformer, Gimmick! has achieved near mythical status thanks to its impressive visuals, incredibly addictive physics-based gameplay and limited release status. Originally arriving in 1992, late in the lifecycle of the NES™, Gimmick! was only available across Japan and Scandinavia, securing its ...

It’s been rumoured for almost as long as the infuriating Silent Hill stuff, but it might actually be happening: Red Dead Redemption might be making its return. Red Dead Redemption has been rated in Korea. In 2023. And that doesn’t make much sense unless it is being re-released in some way or another. Now that doesn’t mean it’s the remake that we’ve all been waiting for and, yes, expecting for the last few years. The rumours were pretty certain –…

Assassin’s Creed is the only game Ubisoft seem to be making, with 11 new titles in the works. That’s according to a leak that’s also promising a Black Flag remake. That’s four single-player games, three multiplayer games, two VR games (an unreleased game and a sequel to the unreleased game), a mobile game and, yes, a Black Flag remake. Why? Who the hell knows? That’s a lot of Assassin’s Creed. It might be too much Assassin’s Creed. Think about it.…

Nineties warriors unite: it’s time for the battle of Sonic and Mario to rage again. For the first time in forever, new major 2D entries in both franchises will be coming to fans. And to celebrate I propose we do away with the corporate worship of modern gaming fandoms, and beat the shit out of each other in the schoolyard instead. Because look at how awesome our heroes look in the picture above. Look at the edge, the sheer cool…
