Video game leaks are nothing new, but they occasionally produce cut content or developmental tools that are of interest to enthusiasts. Now, a YouTuber has apparently restored an "abridged" version of Half-Life 1's campaign that was created by Valve during the game's original development.
The maps that make up this mini-campaign were first discovered in a leak back in the early 2000s, but modders didn't have the raw files required to restore them to full playability. The recent Valve...

Minecraft Legends looks to deviate heavily from the original game's formula with a focus on strategy, and Mojang showed it off at the first Xbox Developer Direct on January 23. The presentation gave us a look at the competitive multiplayer mode, and as you can see, you'll be battling instead of building (mostly) in Minecraft Legends.
Minecraft Legends will allow you to form alliances with returning Minecraft creatures as well as new ones. The cross-play multiplayer experience, which was...
Tango Gameworks, the studio founded by Resident Evil veteran Shinji Mikami and known for The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo, has announced its next game. Revealed during the Xbox Developer Direct event, the game is called Hi-Fi Rush and it's out today.
A rhythm action game, Hi-Fi Rush has players performing moves to add layers to the music. The more you flow with the beat, the better you can perform abilities. Everything syncs up with the music as you play. The game is unlikely anything...
Humans and orcs have long been at the center of World of Warcraft, and come Dragonflight's next content patch, players will finally be able to sport unique armor sets invoking the long history of both races in Azeroth.
Patch 10.0.7 will introduce the new Heritage Armor cosmetic sets, something that is already available for many of the game's playable races but has curiously been a long time coming for orcs and humans. Presumably unlocking the set will work similarly to Heritage Armor sets...
Streaming platform Twitch has revealed its 2023 features roadmap, which includes changes to pre-roll adverts, new chat engagement tools, and more options to help users better manage their brand deals. Changing pre-roll ads to be less annoying is easily one of the biggest changes on the horizon, provided that Twitch members can commit to running three minutes of ads every hour, according to chief product officer Tom Verrilli and chief monetization officer Mike Minton.
"Running three minutes...
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, the next game in the long-running farming sim series, finally has a release date: June 27, 2023. The trailer announcing the date shows off the series' modern artstyle in a striking papercraft trailer that reflects the game's main conceit of following your character's life from beginning to end.
The trailer's animation is achieved thanks to a pair of hands pulling tabs on an intricate series of paper images. The effect is unlike anything you'll see in a...
YouTube streamer Mutekimaru Channel was forced to take care of some seriously fishy business last week when his streaming partners--a tank full of minnows--decided to use his credit card to make a few purchases while playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Yes, you read that correctly.
The "fishing scam" was first reported by SoraNews24, who explained how the whole ordeal took place. You see, over the past few years, the streamer behind Mutekimaru Channel has made a name for themselves with...
Proletariat, an Activision Blizzard owned studio working on World of Warcraft, has withdrawn its request to unionize following "confrontational tactics" from both its parent company and current CEO.
As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, the Communication Workers of America came to the decision after realizing Activision Blizzard was making it "impossible" to hold a "fair and free election." According to a union representative, Proletariat CEO Seth Sivak was influenced by Activision Blizzard's...
Destiny 2 is parting ways with rare engrams as of today. Announced by developer Bungie in hotfix 6.3.0.5, players who have reached the soft gear cap in the game--currently 1530 power level--will no longer receive blue engrams. Instead, they'll receive the "equivalent Glimmer amount" as a drop.
If you jumped into Destiny 2 right after the patch and you're still seeing blue engrams, don't fret. The developer tweeted that this particular update is rolling out later in the day, and to keep an...

Burnout Paradise celebrated its 15-year anniversary this week, on January 22, 2023. Below, we take a look at how the iconic game's unique approach to arcade racing helped set the standard for years to come.
Most of the time in an arcade racing game, you see a hot rod screeching down the countryside, with a gorgeous vista in the distance--one that's nothing more than that: a distant setting that you'll never reach. Instead, you have only a single road to follow, with that distant scene...

Nier writer-director Yoko Taro isn't shy about offering up puzzles for fans to pore over, and the recent History of Nier video from the Game Maker's Notebook podcast is no different. At the closing of that video, Yoko Taro says that he will do "anything for money" and that the next Nier game could come out tomorrow or perhaps 35 years from now.
Interviewer Shuhei Yoshida later pushes Yoko on the topic, asking him if he's taking a "less hands-on" role in his current projects, as a creative...
Hideki Kamiya is a video game legend in his own right, directing classic titles like Resident Evil 2 and the Bayonetta series. However, at one E3, he apparently got lectured by the biggest legend of all--Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario and Zelda.
In a clip posted by game historian Liam Robertson, Kamiya tells the story of how he first met Miyamoto. Kamiya was apparently complaining to some senior Nintendo staff at E3 because they hadn't put the original Donkey Kong on Virtual Console...

If you've been playing Fortnite long enough, you probably remember an old item that allowed you to disguise yourself as a small bush. The controversial pickup eventually became a bit obsolete when larger bushes were added to the map, which allowed players natural spots to hide without the need for an item. But the item concept has returned once more with the brand-new Big Bush Bomb--except this time its name says it all. Read on to find out more.
Where to get Big Bush Bombs in Fortnite and...
A huge overhaul of Destiny 2's mod system is coming in next month's Lightfall expansion, and as part of those changes, Resilience will be getting a slight nerf. Essentially an extra layer of armor for your Guardian, enhancing this stat can add an extra 40% of damage reduction to your build. Bungie plans to cap Resilience at 30% from Lightfall, as the studio explained that these changes will see the investment curve adjusted so that they offer great value even at lower levels.
