CD Projekt “never thought about” charging The Witcher 3 owners for the remaster: “This is the CDPR way”

The Witcher 3 Remastered launches later this month as a free update for all existing owners of the RPG. It’s a meaty update with a load of improvements, including freshly revamped combat. CD Projekt Red might even have been forgiven for treating it as an all-new game and charging existing Witcher 3 owners for the […]
2019New Street Fighter trailer brings action, camp, and some of the game’s most iconic moves to life

A new Street Fighter trailer has arrived, and while it’s a bit less action-comedy in tone than the first, it sure as heck brings the drama and some of the coolest fighting moves from the video games to life.

2019The Witcher 3 DLC, Warlock, and open-world anime RPG Ananta gained the most Steam wishlists of everything we saw at Gamescom 2026

There was a peculiar vibe throughout Gamescom 2026’s Opening Night Live showcase, pronounced by the fact that its biggest reveal, the dramatic climax of the whole event, was an update for an 11-year-old game.

201940-year-old Robert Pattinson says he’s “definitely feeling [his] age” while filming fight scenes for The Batman 2

Robert Pattinson says filming fight choreography for The Batman 2 has him “feeling his age,” though I’d argue that 40 is still pretty young. “I’m definitely feeling my age when fighting a lot,” Pattinson told GQ. “I’m literally like, ‘Goddamn, this is significantly harder than it used to be.’ But it’s really fun. And I […]

The review embargo for former vampire ARPG The Blood of Dawnwalker has shriveled up, and in its place has arrived a respectable gush of primarily positive ratings. The game’s creative director and former CD Projekt Red lead Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz can finally relax. He writes on Twitter, “Waiting for the reviews to come in has been […]

If you’ve done a healthy amount of sailing around in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, you may have noticed a dog stuck on one of the disparate islands you encounter across the Caribbean.

2019I played 30 minutes of Alien Isolation 2 and yes, it is scarier than the original

My half hour with Alien Isolation 2 wasn’t supposed to end like this. I’ve spent the last few minutes crouch-walking through a wrecked spaceship. It’s dark in here – too dark to see more than an arm’s length ahead. A storm buffets the vessel, the yawning groan of metal sheets slowly being pulled from the […]
2019GTA 6 will lock you out of story missions if you’re too broke, so it’s good to know the robbery mechanics have been massively expanded

GTA 6 won’t let you progress through the story if you’re too broke, which will force Jason and Lucia to make some cash from side jobs or other definitely legal endeavors. If there’s one thing the trailers and gameplay footage of GTA 6 have told us, it’s that there’s going to be a lot of […]
