The Borderlands series is well known for many things, including its emphasis on co-op, unique visual style, and humor, but it is also quite famous for its distinct player characters, who often use advanced tech or psychic superpowers to lay waste to enemies. Harlowe, one of Borderlands 4's new playable characters, is no different, and Gearbox has finally provided some insight into how they play.
Harlowe has a bunch of toys at their disposal considering their past as a combat scientist for...

The only caveat is that keys for Hollow Knight: Silksong will only be available on PC, Switch, and Switch 2. The game will also launch September 4 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. "We'll be reaching out in the...
A decade is a long period of time, but for Metal Gear Solid fans, it's an eternity. Fortunately, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launches at the end of the month, bringing a classic from the original series into the modern age of gaming. But beyond that? Expect the future of Metal Gear Solid to be handed over to a new generation of developers.

2017's Hollow Knight just reached a new all-time peak concurrent-player record on Steam, and the achievement came just after developer Team Cherry announced the release date for its sequel, Silksong.
Hollow Knight reached an all-time peak concurrent record of 23,819 on Steam today, August 22. Measuring a game's popularity by Steam concurrent numbers is never a perfect or complete encapsulation of a game's popularity, and Hollow Knight being an exclusively single-player game that doesn't...
NBA 2K26 is just a week out from launch for those who preorder or purchase the early-launch editions. When it gets here, players should expect to find that what was once the community's biggest complaint has been scrubbed out of the game, according to its gameplay lead. Earlier this week, gameplay director Mike Wang told me in a chat from NBA 2K Community Day in San Francisco that 2K26 was designed from "day one" to eliminate what players most often found had plagued the game: "RNG"--short...
Double Fine's next game is out in October, but beyond that, don't expect to see the studio announce Psychonauts 3 or Brutal Legend 2 in the near-future. Studio development chief Tim Schafer recently spoke about what's next for the developer after it launches its puzzle-adventure game Keeper, and he confirmed that the studio has multiple original IP in development.
"I'm working on other stuff," Schafer said to IGN. "The studio is doing multiple projects right now, and they're all original...
Advance Wars: Dual Strike is celebrating its 20-year anniversary today, August 22, 2025. Below, we revisit the user-generated-content features of the game that were ahead of their time.
The rain drenched my infantryman's helmet as he marched forward. He could barely make out the jagged silhouettes of the grey buildings 100 feet ahead, but it would only be a moment until he reached them. Or so he thought--until the ambush fell. Tanks, recon trucks, and bazooka-wielding foot soldiers poured...
In the menagerie of 1990s animal video game mascots, Bubsy might rank somewhere between Aero the Acrobat and Sparkster from Rocket Knight Adventures (the latter having a small resurgence last year with the rerelease of the Sega Genesis games). Now it's Bubsy's turn to get a new spin for a new decade in Bubsy 4D, and it actually looks good.
Over on Bluesky, the developer Fabraz showed off more of the game's mechanics, switching Bubsy back and forth from his hairball form, dashing through...
Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has a release date, and it's soon, with the long-awaited game slated to arrive on September 4. There is a lot of hype and pent-up demand for Silksong, and with that in mind, three developers have opted to delay their releases that were scheduled close to Silksong.
Developer Panik Arcade has announced that CloverPit, a roguelike that's described as the "demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette," is now set for release on September 26. CloverPit was...
Unlike past Call of Duty games, this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not allow players to choose a difficulty level for the campaign. Associate creative director Miles Leslie said that the difficulty scale for Black Ops 7 is "baked in" as opposed to being something a player can choose.
The reason for this comes down to how Black Ops 7's campaign can be played in co-op.
"We've built it for solo or four-player squads as well. You cannot pick a difficulty like past games. We've baked it...
Until recently, Bungie's next game, Marathon, was slated to be released in September. But the game was delayed indefinitely in June amid reports that Bungie will lose its independence by fully integrating into PlayStation Studios. Now, Bungie's CEO Pete Parsons has announced his departure from the studio after over two decades.
Parsons joined Bungie in 2002 and served as COO before being promoted to CEO in early 2016. In a statement shared on Bungie's official site, Bungie called his stint...
Battlestate Games has been developing its intense first-person tactical shooter Escape From Tarkov since 2012. Although the closed beta debuted in 2017, players had no idea when to expect the full release. Now, Battlestate Games has shared a new live-action Escape From Tarkov trailer that confirms its exit from early access this fall.
The November 15 release date was revealed in the closing seconds of the video above. Studio head Nikita Buyanov subsequently confirmed the date on his X...
2025 has already been a banner year for Nightdive Studios, the team behind the recently released System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster and the Heretic + Hexen remaster. The studio has made its name by giving classic games a modern coat of paint. One of the titles that Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick is still eager to get his hands on is Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, which has only ever been released on GameCube back in 2002.
Kick shared his desire to revisit Eternal Darkness...
Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford has predicted that Borderlands 4 will push the franchise's total sales numbers to a new stratosphere: 100 million units. Speaking to Insider Gaming, Pitchford said plainly, "We will break 100 million units with this launch, easily, all in, with the franchise."
That's not actually a very bold prediction. The series currently stands at more than 94 million units, so Pitchford is predicting sales of at least 6 million for Borderlands 4. By comparison...
Platinum Games, the developer of acclaimed action titles including Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, contributed to the development of Konami's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has confirmed. Specifically, Platinum created a new version of Snake's Nightmare, an Easter egg that longtime fans of MGS3 will no doubt relish the return of.
Snake's Nightmare is a third-person action sequence that is accessed by saving the game when Snake is captured and thrown in prison. When the save file...

The game does feature full controller support, but the aiming and movement can feel a bit weird on console. Here, we recommend the best settings to help you improve your aim, sensitivity, and movement when playing Delta Force on console and with a controller. Audio and graphics recommendations are also included.
Delta Force also features cross-play, but this is limited depending on which...
Fanatical has launched a new Summer Superstars Collection Bundle, giving you the chance to grab up to 22 PC games for as little as $6.60 each.

If you choose three or more games, you'll pay $7.15 per key, and if you choose five...
At long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has some new footage and a release date--just two weeks away--but any official ratings from critics might take a bit longer.
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier posted on his Bluesky account that developer Team Cherry has opted not to send out preview codes to media outlets before launch. That's at least in part due to wanting to ensure reviewers aren't playing before those who backed the original game on Kickstarter.
"In case you're wondering...
