As kids and parents alike eye a return to school (or their first day!), it’s time for us to take another look at the world of gaming news, and this week’s been an eventful one indeed.

Crash Bandicoot 5 was reportedly cancelled for live-service games Our…

As the Gamescom dust settles and the gaming world returns to normal (until the major AAA releases of the autumn, anyway), September is often a month to reflect and catch up on the backlog. That’s certainly not the case for this year, though, because there’s an absolute landslide of great games heading your way in September 2024. You’ll be spoilt for choice if you’re looking for something to play! Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the best games coming in September 2024 across all of the major current platforms. The Casting of Frank Stone (PC, PlayStation…

August is, generally speaking, the final month during which you can expect hot weather to grace the UK. From September onwards, things start to cool down a little, autumn kicks in, and the gaming release schedule ramps up as well, bringing major AAA releases and indie darlings to tide us over during the cold and cruel winter. That’s not to say there’s nothing to play in August, of course; if you’re the kind of person who prefers to spend their summer indoors playing video games (as we are), then you’re well-served by this month’s release schedule. Let’s take a look…

It’s time for yet another dive into the open ocean of gaming news for the week, and although Gamescom is just around the corner, it’s been a relatively eventful one.

Though the UK has escaped the hottest weather in the world, this summer has been another stop-start season of sunshine, rain, and surprisingly cool respites, so it’s hard to imagine anyone who hasn’t gotten at least a little of what they want this year. As we move closer to late August’s Gamescom extravaganza, gaming news often dries up, but there’s been plenty to keep eagle-eyed news enthusiasts occupied this year as well. Here’s our rundown of what’s been happening this week in the world of gaming news! Valve could be working on a new Half-Life game Murmurs emerged this week…

It’s once again time for another look at what’s been going on in the world of gaming, and since we’re in the middle of the drought period between the summer gaming events and Gamescom, it’s been a relatively quiet week. Still, that doesn’t mean nothing’s been happening, of course; between major studio layoffs (yet again, unfortunately), developers teasing features for upcoming games, and more, there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Here’s our rundown of the week spanning July 29th through August 4th in the world of gaming. Jackbox makes things easier If you’ve ever played Jackbox Party Pack games with…

Summer is really starting to heat up now. The weather in the UK has been turning gradually hotter for a week or so, and we’re due a few days of scorching sun before things settle down again at the end of the week.

Just like clockwork, we’re back with another rundown of what’s been happening in the world of gaming news this week, and thanks to Gamescom’s opening night, it’s a packed one indeed. While some have called the Gamescom show lacklustre or low on major announcements, it did have several new games to show off, and we’ll run down some of our highlights later on. Even if Gamescom wasn’t your thing, though, there’s still plenty to pore over this week as usual, so without further ado, let’s look at what’s been going on in the gaming news world!

If you love summer, it might be difficult to countenance the idea that someone else might hate it, but unfortunately, there are many of us who can’t stand the hot weather and long days. You might be one of them, of course, and if you are, then you can take solace in the fact that the nights are beginning to get darker, however slowly.

If you’re in the UK, you might be disappointed by the prevalence of milder and less warm weather throughout the country over the past few weeks, but thankfully, there’s been plenty of gaming industry news to distract you. Obviously, this past week has been no different in this regard, with lots of news to chew on and digest, including the announcement of a new game in a beloved franchise, more layoffs (sadly), and lots besides.

July may not be the most significant month for gaming releases, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of great games to look forward to, no matter what system you’re playing on. Generally speaking, summer represents a bit of a break from the major triple-A releases that tend to congregate around spring and autumn, making this the perfect chance to either catch up on your backlog or check out some of the smaller and more interesting releases coming this month. Here are the best games coming your way in July 2024! Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail (PC, PlayStation, Xbox Series…

One more week has gone by in the gaming world, and we’ve been diligently watching the gaming industry’s goings-on, ready to summarise them for you here as usual. This week held all kinds of gaming news for the enthusiast, although as usual, not all of it was good. Studios closed down, new games were revealed, and, of course, Elden Ring’s DLC threatened to take over the industry.

The season for exciting summer gaming shows came to a close this week, with the final show (not counting a couple of extra stragglers, as it were) airing on June 10th in the form of Ubisoft Forward. Generally speaking, gaming news tends to slow down around this time, as most publishers and big gaming companies have already revealed whatever they’re ready to reveal on their slates. That doesn’t mean nothing is happening, though, so without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s been going on this week in the world of gaming news. Ubisoft Forward is solid, but unremarkable…

Early June is a very important time indeed for the gaming calendar; it’s when the big companies host their presentations, showing off all the things they’ve got on their upcoming slates. Depending on your perspective, this summer gaming season was either a slam dunk or a washout.

This past week saw a Bank Holiday landing on Monday, which means the industry (in the UK, at least) collectively breathed a sigh of relief and took a brief break from its onslaught of news. Things quickly returned to normal, however, and it turned out that another eventful week of industry news was in store for us, with big Xbox Game Pass reveals, PlayStation showcases, and much more in store. Here’s our newest rundown of the week in gaming news! Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will hit Xbox Game Pass on day one Microsoft announced some big news this…

Summer is upon us (according to some definitions, at least), and so the temptation to leave your gaming consoles behind and go outside might be strong. When it comes to the gaming calendar, June is traditionally not a month during which big releases grace our shelves, and that’s certainly the case this year, too. Even still, you’ll find plenty of electronic entertainment to keep you occupied this June if you’re not the sort to seek the sun and warmth of the outdoors. Here are the best games heading your way across all systems in June 2024! Destiny 2: The Final…

Once again, another week in gaming has gone by, and there’s plenty happening to whet the appetite of even the most curious consumer of news. Some games got release dates, while others got pushed back indefinitely; such is the way of the gaming industry. Nothing’s ever certain, especially not these days. Unfortunately, this week also saw its fair share of layoffs and studio closures, although things do seem to be quieting down just a little after the disastrous year the industry has had. Here’s what’s been happening in the gaming world this week! Life By You has been delayed Early…

As ever, this week has been a tumultuous and eventful one in the world of gaming, and so it falls to us once again to take a look at the ups, the downs, and everything in between.

We’re inching ever closer to the E3 period (or what would traditionally have been considered the E3 period, at any rate), and while you might think that could mean a lack of gaming news, that’s not been the case at all. This week has been a rather explosive one in the world of games, with major studio closures and big announcements from huge tentpole companies to chew over. Let’s have a look at what’s been happening in the world of gaming this week, shall we? An announcement for the Switch 2 will be made sometime this year This week, Nintendo…

It’s been another exciting week in the world of gaming, with major multiplayer games causing controversy, indie strategy sims taking off, and much more happening besides.

Returnal promises something…then arguably doesn’t deliver Returnal developer Housemarque set tongues wagging this week with a mysterious teaser on Twitter (that’s right, we’re still sticking stubbornly to…

When it comes to the gaming calendar, May isn’t generally the best time for major releases. Sometimes, a big game will launch in May and confound expectations, but for the most part, May can be a bit quiet in the world of gaming, meaning it’s a great month for catching up on backlogs or stepping out of your comfort zone. That doesn’t mean you don’t have anything to play in May if you want something fresh though, so without further ado, let’s take a look at the best of what’s coming to PC and gaming consoles this month!

Luckily, we have compiled of list of the best 10 fighter games on the Game Pass right now.

For many in the gaming industry, April is something of a cursed month thanks to the arrival of April Fools’ Day, which is, of course, the day on which gaming companies decide to get silly. Not every studio pulled a prank on its fans for this most auspicious of days, but many did, and games journalists often curse April Fools’ Day for interfering with genuine news. Thankfully, April Fools’ Day doesn’t last all week, so there are still plenty of intriguing things to report on even without all of the “hilarious” jokes. Here’s our roundup of this week in gaming…

That’s right: the world continues to turn, and it’s time for another look at what’s been happening in the world of gaming in the past week.
