It does seem like Ubisoft's gone all-out with Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, given how it's overhauled so many of the original game's fumbles.

But sometimes, it's the smaller things that really start to add up. Case in point, the upcoming remake will feature a one-button toggle for the entire user interface.

I’m not sure where we go from here with live service games, especially ones released within the crowded competitive shooter space.

Quantic Dream has announced it's cancelling development of its free-to-play 3v3 online gambit Spellcasters Chronicles, less than three months after it launched in Early Access on Steam.

Sony's annual Days of Play promotion, where it discounts its PS5 consoles, accessories, and games both physically and digitally, is making its return soon. According to reliable leaker BillBil-Kun, we should expect the 2026 version of Days of Play to begin on 27th May 2026, and run until 10th June.

While this is not official from Sony yet, BillBil-Kun has proven so reliable over the past few years that this news is already all but official.

Circana is the most reliable sales tracker available for the United States, but I’m fascinated to see how digital sales projections alter its results.

While most publishers share full data with the analytics firm, there are a few holdouts like Nintendo which keep that information private. That massively affects its reporting, of course – especially in this era of digital domination.

It feels like Hellraiser: Revival is bubbling under the radar a little bit, and I’m not exactly sure why that is.

I played the game for over an hour last year and was drawn in by its tense atmosphere and strong violence. This is a title that pushes so close to the edge of what age ratings will allow I think it could cause some real controversies.

A big budget Dungeons & Dragons project that was announced around this time last year has been canned, according to a report from Bloomberg.

This thing was a single-player action adventure game, spearheaded by Stig Asmussen — the veteran developer who directed God of War 3, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. You have to assume that this project had real potential.

Harry Krueger, director of Returnal and a 14-year Housemarque veteran, has announced the formation of his new team.

Cosmic Division is its name, and it’s already working on its first project: a single player “gameplay-first” experience packing “a story with strong emotional resonance”. It’s planned for PC and consoles, so the chances there's a PS5 version (or PS6 at this point) are high.

Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the two Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, has today announced it is making an "open world Middle-earth RPG".

The news confirms the rumours swirling around the studio, which were connecting the IP with the RPG team. Further, it also has "a new Kingdom Come adventure" in the works. The wording from Warhorse Studios suggests this could be something different from the two Deliverance titles, as it doesn't bring up the subtitle in its social media post.

I’ll be brutally honest, I was a Virtua Cop guy growing up.

Don’t get me wrong, I had a lot of fun playing Time Crisis in the arcade, but I didn’t actually have it at home. I had the Virtua Gun for the SEGA Saturn y’see, so a lot of my youth was spent blasting through AM2’s rails shooter.

Later this week, Sony will make some small pricing adjustments to its one-month and three-month PS Plus Essential tiers, which will see the price increase marginally for new customers.

As I noted in an article overnight, I think this move is designed to make the annual subscription look more attractive, as that’s not changing. Clearly, the Japanese giant wants to stop customers from bouncing around, picking up piddly little subs here and there.

A lot of you reading this won't agree, but I think almost every single 'smaller' RPG that Square Enix has released over the last decade or so suffers from the same problem: bad pacing.

To be fair, this isn't just a Square Enix problem. Modern gaming in general seriously struggles to tell well-paced stories thanks to the rise of open world busywork and the visual novel-ification of dialogue delivery.

The random PS5 upgrade for Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, which in itself is a PS4 remaster of a PS3 game, is now available. It's packing a few enhancements and updates, but what current owners of the PS4 version might be surprised to learn is they have to pay to access the new PS5 version.

That is despite the fact the Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S upgrade available on Microsoft consoles is free of charge.

Street Fighter 6 really does feel like a throwback in many ways, because it actually takes its single player seriously.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a game that revolves around esports, but Capcom hasn’t abandoned casuals who just want to interact with the fun gameplay. The excellent World Tour mode is an obvious example.

You can now play Time Crisis on PS5 and PS4, and that's certainly cause for celebration. The arcade shooter remains an all-timer, and you can either grab it from the PS Store standalone, or claim it through a PS Plus Premium subscription.

But it's just such a shame that publisher Bandai Namco simply refuses to add Trophy support to its line of PS1 and PS2 classics. Needless to say, Time Crisis opts to skip digital trinkets altogether.

I absolutely hate the name, but there's no denying the potential within The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.

If you haven't been keeping up, this is a new action RPG from Square Enix, which boasts that (admittedly quite tired) HD-2D graphical style. It's from the same team that made the Octopath Traveler games.
