Now, Activision has confirmed that this will be the default for Black Ops 7 multiplayer at launch, and it's something that some part of the audience has been requesting for years.
"At launch, open matchmaking with minimal skill consideration will be the default for Black Ops 7 multiplayer. Simply...

Say hello to Anime Village Online, a new game set for 2027 that has a PSN listing. Coming from developer GamePoc, the title has some striking similarities to Nintendo's Animal Crossing franchise. The notable resemblance includes the character design (especially the eyes), the game's name, as well as the fact that it's built around decorating, fishing, and growing crops.
GamePoc hasn't released a game before, but the developer also has a listing for Rooted: Survival that features imagery...
Netflix has announced that it's adding a bunch of party games to its catalog, and unlike many of the streamer's other games, these are playable directly on your TV with your phone as a controller.

Five games are being added to the Games tab on Netflix, including Lego Party, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, and Party Crashers. All...
Controversial billionaire Elon Musk made a bold claim this week that his xAI game studio will deliver a "great" AI-generated game by the end of 2026. The comment was soon met with a wave of criticism from industry professionals, and publishing director Michael "Cromwelp" Douse from Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios didn't mince his words in response to Musk's plans.
"Genuinely, what this industry needs is not more mathematically produced, psychologically trained gameplay loops, [but]...

Now, that team has reunited to form an employee-owned studio, Sackbird Studios.

Ubisoft reportedly canceled an entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise last year after determining that its proposed setting--the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era of the 1860s and 1870s--was too controversial for its audience, according to the newsletter Game File.
The game, which was canceled early in development, would have put players in control of a Black protagonist who escaped enslavement and started a new life away from the South. He is later recruited by the Assassins...
Literal walking simulator Baby Steps is already a punishing affair, but the game has one last trick up its sleeve that might make certain players fume with rage.
If you skip enough cutscenes in the wacky and raunchy Baby Steps, you'll be treated (or penalized, depending how you look at it) with a meandering 28-minute long cutscene full of meta jokes and haphazard conversation topics, which user Cuttyflame shared on YouTube (per PC Gamer).
Baby Steps, which was made by Ape Out developers...
Company of Heroes developer Relic Entertainment is keen to make and release games faster, CEO Justin Dowdeswell said in a new interview, but the company isn't banking on AI to get there.
In an interview with GI.biz, Dowdeswell said one of the company's Achilles heels is that it has taken too long to release new games. "There's long stretches of time between game releases, and you lose touch with the players, people lose touch with what you're up to--and they generally cost a lot more, the...
