Life is Strange developer Don’t Nod announced its next third-person cinematic adventure, Aphelion, during last year’s Summer Game Fest with an Uncharted-like reveal set in space. And if the sci-fi excursion carries on as planned, Aphelion will launch sometime around or before this summer’s next big event.Aphelion’s latest gameplay trailer is a better look at how the studio’s new journey takes a few cues from its rock-climbing platformer, Jusant, and marries them with the more story-rich, exposition-heavy games it’s known for. In Aphelion, you’ll control a pair of European Space Agency (ESA) astronauts on a mission bound for Persephone—a planet…

Valve has confirmed that a RAM shortage is causing manufacturing delays and making it hard to keep the Steam Deck OLED in stock.

Csaba “ForestWare” Székely’s Sword Hero is one of the most exciting upcoming games: An ambitious, open-ended RPG with complex NPC behaviors, physics interactions, and emergent gameplay⁠—the Hungarian developer affectionately referred to it as a “eurojank” game, a label applied to ambitious, but often flawed attempts by European developers to replicate or advance ’90s PC design sensibilities.Despite its slightly derogatory connotation, I’ve had this growing feeling that eurojank⁠ has won. Larian, CD Projekt, IO Interactive, and GSC Game World are just a few outfits that were second-tier studios putting out cult classics in the 2000s, and now they’re on top of…

And you should do it before it’s gone.All you have to do is help the holiday NPC Astrid by successfully decorating five overly extravagant cakes in time for the annual “Valentione’s Day” celebration. The instanced task is available to solo players, pre-made parties, or matched with strangers. I know it doesn’t sound like the usual high-stakes affair that’s suitable for Warriors…

After all, we’re seeing some advanced Riders who are Rangers tackling a major situation in this stand-alone installment.
