Poncle Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed "bullet heaven" game Vampire Survivors, has announced its next project: Vampire Crawlers. Set in the same world as Survivors, this "Turbo Wildcard," as Poncle describes it, reimagines its predecessor as a deckbuilding dungeon-crawler with roguelite elements. Crawlers is slated to release next year. Announced as part of November's Xbox Showcase, Vampire Crawlers marks a significant departure from the simplistic gameplay of Survivors...
Agent 47 has met several famous faces--and even killed a few of them--throughout his journey in the World of Assassination, but for his next mission, he'll be taking on one of the greatest rap artists of all time: Slim Shady. To be specific, the new Elusive Target mission coming to Hitman will see Agent 47 tasked with killing Eminem's younger alter-ego by none other than Eminem himself. We promise we're not making this up. Thanks to Slim Shady being a separate--and violent--entity, the real...
Battlefield 6 sold many, many copies in the US in October, but which games sold precisely one copy? As it turns out, lots of games did that.

World of Warcraft's upcoming Midnight expansion is bringing sweeping changes to the MMORPG's transmog system, but they look to be far more expensive than players were led to believe. Earlier this year when Midnight was fully revealed, developer Blizzard announced it would be overhauling the game's cosmetic outfit system in a way that would save players gold. Instead of having to pay gold to transmog individual gear pieces, players would instead transmog gear slots. That slot would then...
Minor spoilers for Hades and Hades II to follow--read at your own discretion.

Yet while all the San Francisco-based studio's games are worthy of praise, it was the first Hades game that raised the bar when it came to roguelike games and their storytelling.
