The tech-y, business-y types of the world are already looking ahead to the Switch 3, baby. Buckle up. While sharing his insights on the current strength of Intel Corporation stock, KeyBanc Capital Markets senior research analyst John Vinh shared a small —and I mean...
As perhaps the highest-profile game of 2025 so far, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been a major topic of conversation among the gaming community. It’s been out for a few weeks, so the chatter in the Slack channel that we spun up here at Polygon to discuss the game has slowed significantly (especially with some people on the team having moved on to other games that generate feverish posting, such as...

The hook of Exquisite Corpses — a huge new collaboration from 10 heavy-hitting horror comics creators — is that the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine, must band together when the richest families in America drop 12 of “the deadliest people in the world” into their town for a one-night-only, last-man-standing free-for-all to the death. But while the comic series follows those innocent citizens, Exquisite Corpses: The Game, developed by artist...
