Without warning, Game Science dropped a fifteen-minute gameplay demonstration of Black Myth Zhong Kui on August 20—the direct successor to Black Myth Wukong.

A rare case that raises a concrete question: what happens to a game when the team that made it no longer exists? The answer, here, is at least partial — players will get their hands on it.
Crimson Desert: DLC Coming 2026, Switch 2 Port Delayed to 2027

Lord of the Rings: A Ghost Remake Surfaces on PC
An unexpected Steam listing has resurrected a Lord of the Rings game that vanished from digital stores years ago, caught in a web of licensing disputes.

Exodus: The Sci-Fi RPG That Wants to Dethrone Mass Effect
Exodus is no longer just a promise: Archetype Entertainment's game has accumulated enough concrete details about its universe, mechanics, and story to finally measure it against its stated ambitions. Claiming the spiritual successor throne to Mass Effect, it bets on an action RPG set in science fiction where narrative choices structure the experience. What we know today is enough to ask the central question: can Archetype deliver on this promise where BioWare stumbled?

Endless Ragnarok: Granblue Fantasy Relink Makes Its Comeback
Two years after launch, Granblue Fantasy: Relink emerges from the shadows with Endless Ragnarok, a massive expansion available on PC, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana, the Remake That Saved Ys III
Ys III was originally a misstep: a lateral entry rushed into production, its side-scrolling format betraying the saga's core DNA. When Falcom revisited the project with The Oath in Felghana in the early 2000s, the result transcended mere polish.
