Professor Layton and apprentice Luke aren't playing about with small handheld Nintendo DS and 3DS releases anymore; they're in the big leagues now with a proper PS5 and Switch 2 release. Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is the first time the series has appeared on a home console, and the price of the new entry matches that: £53.99 / $64.99.

Compared to previous titles in the franchise, this is a significant price increase — the DS and 3DS games were generally around $30 to $40 at launch, increasing as the series went on. Now, as the New World of Steam plans for a December 2026 release, it'll cost roughly double the price of Professor Layton and the Curious Village, which was the first game in the series.

OwlCat Games has unveiled fresh gameplay from The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, and the sci-fi RPG continues to look really promising.

CD Projekt Red has worked with an AI voice generation company on next year's The Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, so the Polish voiceover for Geralt can match the original game.

Jacek Rozenek, the original Polish voice actor for Geralt has returned to voice the character for all the content in Songs of the Past. However, the actor unfortunately suffered a stroke in recent years that impacted his voice. This has left his voice unrecognisable compared to the lines he recorded for the original RPG.

Since the announcement of Naughty Dog's next big game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, we really haven't seen or heard much about it. In 2027, though, that's set to change.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra – the highly promising superhero game starring Captain America and Black Panther – has not been cancelled, despite rumours to the contrary earlier today.

A fan account claimed on X (or Twitter) that the project, fronted by former Uncharted lead Amy Hennig, had been scrapped. That post has since been deleted.

I can't imagine this is something Hermen Hulst will want to display on his mantelpiece: PlayStation and Sony have won a Hall of Shame award, called a Shonky Award, from an Australian outlet for its decision to stop making physical discs.

Choice, an Australian website, runs an annual Hall of Shame series, known as the Shonky Awards, where it highlights the "worst products and services uncovered by our experts this year". In 2026, PlayStation finds itself with a Shonky Award alongside Virgin Australia, Ticketmaster, and more companies.

Resident Evil Requiem has been crowned the Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards, the first major games award ceremony of 2026.

Alongside the biggest award, it was also named the Console Game of the Year, and it won categories celebrating the best lead performer (Angela Sant'Albano as Grace Ashcroft) and the best game trailer. Most of the Golden Joystick Awards are decided by a public vote, and the race for Ultimate Game of the Year was extremely close.

11/11/11 — the famous release date that will forever be associated with The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

If you haven't already realised, today marks the title's 15th anniversary, and it's crazy to think that the open world RPG remains one of the most consistently popular games out there.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is officially 15 years old today, having originally launched on the 11th November, 2011.

And no, Bethesda doesn't have a new re-release lined up or anything like that, so the memes will have to be put on hold for now.

Video games are cancelled internally all the time, but never in PlayStation's personal history have those cancellations had to happen in such a public manner. The current PS5 generation has seen the platform holder try to win the live service space, and a few years later, it's having to cancel most of the projects it revealed in attempting to achieve that.

To try and get a piece of the Fortnite pie, Sony made a hard and deliberate push into the Games as a Service space at the start of the PS5 generation. It acquired Destiny 2 studio Bungie to have it help the manufacturer do so, and at the height of the initiative, PlayStation planned to launch 12 live service games in just a few years.

If you needed another clue as to how big GTA 6 is going to be, internet service providers in a number of countries are reporting inflated traffic figures in the wake of preload access.

Millions of eager fans have pre-ordered the open world action title on PS Store — in fact, it's the most pre-ordered game on the digital storefront ever — and ahead of its launch, they're able to download the game to their PS5s to ensure it's ready to roll come 19th November.

The Astro A50 X Lightspeed is a pair of headphones I’ve been looking forward to trying out for a while. This is a high-end headset that actually utilises HDMI passthrough rather than the traditional dongle connection.

This is by far the most expensive headset I’ve ever tested, so let’s see if that moolah translates to a genuinely great audio experience.

Much like Capcom, Square Enix is seeing a significant surge in digital game sales, as opposed to physical, with the latter now in steady decline.

In fact, Square Enix's latest financial report is pretty eye-opening. It makes for a positive assessment of the company — something of a rarity over the last several years — and it's primarily down to the aforementioned increase in digital purchases.

The only Barbie title I've played, prior to Barbie Rewind, is a PC game named Fashion Designer, in which you choose clothes based on particular themes, then apply patterns, accessories, and colours. You could print them out and put them on real Barbie dolls — a nice idea.

Sadly, Fashion Designer isn't among the games included in Barbie Rewind, but what is in this retro compilation is similarly simple and enjoyable, for the most part.

Saber Interactive is letting you sample the opening moments of Hellraiser: Revival via a new PS5 demo that's been put on the PS Store today. This isn't one that's tied to PS Plus Premium; it's a free download for everyone.

You'll get to play through the game's prologue, and then a "portion" of the first chapter. This means you'll get to see a lot of what the title is all about: gore, action, sex... and more gore. The first hour or so lets you enter the Labyrinth, and then chapter one is more of a stealth sequence where you have to escape your captors.

One of the very few benefits to Sony's new experiment of delaying the release of PS Plus Extra games in select regions is that you do get one new game the day after the reveal.

Rather than having to wait until next week, Hell Let Loose is already available for UK and USA members. Those in Japan will get access tomorrow, 12th November, and then the rest of the world can play starting Tuesday, 17th November.

Haven’s heist shooter Fairgames – first announced more than three years ago – has been cancelled, rounding out a rough generation for Sony’s live service ambitions.

While we saw very little of the game publicly, a trailer for a title named Project Espresso emerged in September, giving us our first proper look at the title in years.

Sony's received a lot of criticism for its first party output this console generation. It's no secret that the company has chased live service trends at the cost of single player experiences — the kind of games that solidified the PS4 as a fan favourite machine.

And so it's interesting to see which Sony-published titles have actually made the most money across the last six years or thereabouts.

Obsidian still wants to carry out its post-launch DLC plans for The Outer Worlds 2, having lost 25% of its workforce in a recent round of layoffs. It's today announced an expansion called Side Effect Guaranteed will release in two parts: the first launches for PS5 on 2nd December 2026, and then the second arrives in Spring 2027. See it in action in the trailer.

The new DLC takes place just before the end of the main game, so if you've already finished a playthrough, there'll be a new option on the starting menu screen that lets you access the content through a new character.
