In an Edge interview (via VGC), Molyneux said that promising his games will do A, B, and C has always led him into trouble when those promises never came to fruition, citing his previous projects like the God game Black & White...

However, Dean Hall--the creator of DayZ and Icarus--believes that Valve should be taken to task for using gambling mechanics like loot boxes to monetize Counter-Strike 2.
"It's something I think Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism about," Hall told Eurogamer. "I'm honestly disgusted with gambling mechanics in...

Final Fantasy Tactics has returned after 28 years to phenomenal critical acclaim in The Ivalice Chronicles, with fans both old and new reveling in the improved gameplay and actor performances that weren’t possible in 1997. As Yasumi Matsuno, the creator of the original game, wrote in a moving Twitter post, Tactics comes to players in a time much like when the original was released--a time fraught with “inequality and division” that may leave many feeling “robbed of hope.” While Tactics is a...

Video game crossovers and collabs are nothing new, but in many cases, they are predictable. That is not the case with the latest gaming crossover, as 2K has announced that Borderlands 4 is invading PGA Tour 2K25. These two franchises having the same owner is about all they have in common.

It's been three years since God of War: Ragnarok was released, and if there's a follow-up game on the horizon then Sony's done a good job keeping it under wraps. It seems like a safe bet that there will eventually be another God of War game, and if there is, Christopher Judge wants it to take place in Egypt.
Judge--who first rose to fame for starring in Stargate SG-1 as Teal'c--has voiced Kratos since God of War in 2018. The original games set Kratos against the Greek pantheon of gods...
