In August, reports emerged that Microsoft had paused development on Contraband, a co-op smuggler game from Just Cause developer Avalanche. At the time, some sources noted that Microsoft put a "hold" on production rather than a full cancellation. But now, Contraband's fate appears to be sealed as mass layoffs at Avalanche have resulted in the closure of its Liverpool studio.
Avalanche announced the news on its official site, and disclosed that it means 31 developers are losing their jobs...
Over two decades have passed since Half-Life 2 was released, but its developer, Valve, has never gotten around to making Half-Life 3. Instead, Valve has been busy turning Steam into the top marketplace for PC game sales (and making a VR spin-off that won our GOTY award). But every once in a while, rumors about Half-Life 3 flare up, and it's happening again right now.
As noted by Kotaku, Valve's Steam storefront says that it has two upcoming games, but only Deadlock is listed, and that title...
From a distance, the new twelve-sided tower rising in Phoenix’s Arts District looks like it belongs in a futuristic cityscape--or maybe in the middle of a very enthusiastic geometry lesson. However, ask the designers and they'll tell you there's a wink and a nod to a certain beloved racing game: Mario Kart.
"To build buildings that are unique that people stop and say, 'Hey, what is that?' I think is important to any downtown," said Zac Cohen, creative director at Räkkhaus, the architectural...
Treyarch has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Endgame mode, which players can unlock after completing the campaign, will soon be available to everyone.
Beginning Friday, November 21, everyone can jump right into Endgame. Technically you could already do this, as only one player in a group needed to beat the campaign to get into Endgame, but soon everyone can play it.
For anyone just catching up, Endgame takes place on the Avalon map where 1-32 players in squads of up to four...
The first major Arc Raiders update arrived last week, with the introduction of the Stella Montis map as one of the main highlights. Now, days later, developer Embark Studios has revealed on X some statistics about how players have fared in the abandoned facility. To start, the Shredder enemy is living up to its namesake, knocking out more than 2.2 million players.
The Shredder is just one of the new additions with the North Line update for Arc Raiders. The Matriarch is another fresh ARC foe...
Fortnite's Simpsons season is apparently about to become a landmark for Epic Games' metaverse for reasons nobody could have expected--by reportedly offering the first shirtless character sporting visible nipples. The skin in question is an additional version of Homer Simpson, separate from the one in the battle pass, who's wearing nothing but his tighty whities.
The discussion about Fortnite skins lacking nipples goes back to 2019, when a gigantic, shirtless and nipple-less digital version...
Once again, Activision has reimagined one of Call of Duty's most iconic maps, Nuketown, and it's launching on November 20 for Black Ops 7. Now, Activision has released a new trailer dedicated to the map, which shows off its new look.
The new version is called Nuketown 2025, and as you can see in the trailer, the map appears to be based on the same Nuketown 2025 from Black Ops 2. This makes sense as Black Ops 7 is a sequel to Black Ops 2. Whereas the original version of Nuketown from 2010's...
Epic Games is teaming up with Unity to support the popular game engine within Fortnite. Eventually, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said, this partnership will allow "all Unity games" to be published within Fortnite. That means even games that weren't designed for Fortnite should work, and this move could pave the way for Epic to fully incorporate Fall Guys into Fortnite.
"Starting next year, Unity developers will be able to publish games directly into Fortnite to appear in Fortnite’s discovery system...
It's the most wonderful time of the year for Fortnite players who like free stuff. While Epic regularly offers free in-game items for completing quests or leveling up, the company tends to really ramp up its charitable giving toward the end of the year--and our first truly free skin of the season is Cuddle Team Rider, which you can earn as part of the Winter Rush event, which runs through the end of the season on November 29.
The Cuddle Team Rider skin is free for those who complete nine of...
David Anthony Burke, who began his music career as D4vd after uploading Fortnite montages to YouTube with his own original songs in 2021, has reportedly been identified as a suspect in the murder of Celeste Rivas.
According to TMZ, law enforcement said that despite there being no official paperwork classifying Burke as a suspect yet, "investigators are looking at [him] as a suspect." Those same investigators reportedly claimed they're viewing Rivas' death as a homicide while waiting on...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 received a small update on November 18. It's less than a week after launch, but Treyarch is already working to make improvements to the game. The patch notes mostly detailed fixes for the game's campaign and Zombies mode, but stability improvements were included for multiplayer.
The developer addressed a campaign issue that allowed some events to lose their progress when players left the activity area. Unfortunately, the patch notes didn't specify if this is for...
Veteran RPG developer and Fallout co-creator Tim Cain argues that modern games have forgotten some lessons of history--a point he made in a recent YouTube video--you can watch the full video below--responding to a viewer's question about whether older titles contain any supposed lost wisdom. Cain's answer--"Yes, there is. Good question." Looking back at his own early years in the industry, he describes an era with only programmers and some artists, but no narrative designers, and far fewer...
The nominations for this year's The Game Awards were announced earlier this week, and fans can place their votes on which games they want to see take home this year's awards. The demand for this was strong, so much so that The Game Awards website crashed--now, organizer and host Geoff Keighley has apologized for the website's struggles and said work was done to improve the experience.
"We've seen truly unprecedented levels of global voting activity for The Game Awards this year--tens of...
