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. RAM prices have nearly doubled in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. The reason is simple: AI data centers require enormous amounts of RAM to operate, which is eating into the supply available for gaming hardware. According to…

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly has always been a tale of bonds between sisters, specifically twins, with the heroines Mio and Mayu at the forefront of the original and the upcoming remake. After getting to spend some time with the early hours of this new take on the classic horror game, I was delighted to see that seems even more reinforced. From the recreation of classic moments to gameplay choices, it seems like this new take continues to prioritize the two. Fatal Frame II Remake seems to follow the story rather faithfully in its early hours. The Minakami forests where…

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…

I know you’ve done a million Final Fantasy 14 events already and may hit Skip Cutscene when given the chance, but hear me out: this year’s Valentines Day celebration is the best seasonal sidequest FF14 has had in ages. 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…

With Monster Hunter Stories 3, there’s the impression this is a more mature take on this spin-off JRPG series. After all, we’re seeing some advanced Riders who are Rangers tackling a major situation in this stand-alone installment. After getting to sample the early hours of the adventure, Siliconera had the chance to talk to Executive Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, Director Kenji Oguro, Lead Game Designer Daisuke Wakahara, and Art Director Takahiro Kawano about the development of this installment and what made it unique.  Jenni Lada: Monster Hunter Stories 3 is quite a departure in tone from the shonen anime-style approach to…

The original Mewgenics teaser trailer, which featured that whole catchy theme song about rubbing cats on cats came out 13 years ago in August 2013. 13 years! Frankly, I wondered if it’d be vaporware after that time spent in development hell, even though Edmund McMillen confirmed in 2020 that wheels were in motion. It took time, but Mewgenics is here now and it’s a strategic roguelike gem that I love more than The Binding of Isaac. The final game is so satisfying, and I genuinely think the development team isn’t exaggerating when they say its campaign could last over 200…

The Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is now available to buy, and like many tech reviewers around the world, I’ve had my hands on the new mouse for a few days, having attended a deep dive showcase of the tech at Logitech’s HQ last week. However, while many reviewers have rushed out a quick review to hit today’s official launch, this mouse is one I want to take my time with. Inside the G Pro X2 Superstrike is a potentially revolutionary new technology that completely replaces the normal switches that sit under the left and right buttons of a mouse.…
