Stardew Valley was recently in the news for its upcoming collaboration with Infinity Nikki. Some might assume Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone will enjoy a nice windfall from this, but the developer has clarified that he doesn't get paid for these kinds of crossovers and collaborations--and that's on purpose. Posting on social media (via PC Gamer), Barone said, "To be clear, I never receive any money from these collabs. I've only done them because I was a fan of the other games, or...

The default Roblox avatar is iconic, but there’s a good chance you want to alter it to make yourself look a tad more unique. This is where the Avatar Editor comes in, as while some experiences will force you to alter your appearance on launching the game, others will resort to your default look. Not only can you get an outfit that suits you, but you also have the freedom to give your avatar some swagger or act like a ninja. This is normally one of the first things you do when you create a...

This Roblox experience is certainly taking the world by storm. With a wholly unique gameplay loop of digging and scooping sand, before washing it away in a river current to find gems, many are tipping it to be one of the best...
High on Life 2 continues the absurd tendencies of the original and will feature a playable version of Sega's Bible Adventures game. Creative director Mikey Spano from developer Squanch Games revealed at Gamescom that Richard Kind's character, Senator Muppy Doo, can factory reset your game, prompting a Bible Adventures takeover. The three games included with Bible Adventures--Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, and David and Goliath--are playable during this takeover. You can see how this unfolds in the...

The Battlefield 6 open beta has ended, and now Battlefield Studios has published a blog post that runs through some of the key changes for launch--and that includes a big nerf for the shotgun. The M87A1 shotgun was too powerful in the beta, many said, and now Battlefield Studios will make a change to it so it "requires more pellets to secure a kill." The developer was made aware of the shotgun issues almost immediately after the beta went live, and the studio said on August 10 that the...

It's become a tradition for Overwatch 2 to tease upcoming collaborations when previewing new seasons. The latest trailer for Overwatch 2 Season 18 is no exception. After laying out some of the new features heading to the game, the video concluded with a silhouette of Joker from Persona 5. Assuming the Overwatch 2 x Persona crossover follows the example set by the game's previous collaborations, a handful of the former's characters will get new costumes based on the latter's iconic heroes...

Now, Jump Space is heading to early access next month, and the trailer for the game offers a glimpse of the interstellar adventures that lie ahead. As noted in the trailer, early access for Jump Space will begin on September 19. The gameplay may remind some fans of Left 4 Dead and Sea of Thieves. Jump Space can bring together up to four players to act as...
When the Nintendo Switch 2 was properly revealed, a perhaps-unsurprising reveal was the fact that Elden Ring would be coming to the platform. The console is more powerful than the original Switch after all, though there was still the question of how it might run given just how big Elden Ring is. Well, as it currently stands, performance might be quite bad, as a demo for the port of the game at Gamescom is reportedly running at a low frame rate. Not only that, but Bandai Namco staff running...
When you first boot up Okomotive's latest game, Herdling, it may seem like the mystical vistas you encounter are something out of fantasy. But that’s not the case. The development team drew inspiration from hikes they took while creating the game. “We went on a few hikes in the Swiss mountains, before and while developing Herdling," Herdling creative director Don Schmocker tells GameSpot via email. "From Medels to the Suretta Lakes, three picturesque mountain lakes located close to the...
Hollow Knight: Silksong isn't even out yet and its developers, who have been reluctant to speak about the game over the last six years, are already talking about expansions to the heavily anticipated game. In a Bloomberg interview about Silksong's lengthy development cycle, Team Cherry's founding duo--co-directors Ari Gibson and William Pellen--admitted that while the game's imminent launch on September 4 "is obviously exciting," they are just as excited for what it is set to come to come...

Hollow Knight Silksong will officially launch for PC and console on September 4. In a special presentation, developer Team Cherry revealed the official release date for its long-in-development game. While the last couple of years have been full of rumors--and summoning circles--regarding the game, recent months have seen new updates for the follow-up to the hit indie game Hollow Knight.

It's not long until Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 finally comes out--something that seems like an achievement in its own right given its almost-cancellation, multiple delays, and layoffs at developer The Chinese Room. That impending release does appear to come with a small caveat, however. As reported by Eurogamer, while the base game will feature four clan types, there are two more that will be available at launch--as long as you're willing to pay for them. These two extra clans...
Glen Schofield, the director of 2022's The Callisto Protocol, has shared the one thing he would have changed for the game--and it was not delaying the game. Speaking to The Game Business, Schofield said his bosses at Korean publisher Krafton mandated that The Callisto Protocol launch in December so it could release at a strategic time for its shareholders. "I don't like when the politics get in the way, which they did with Krafton," he said. "There was no doubt about it. They told me that...
