(Image credit: FromSoftware / BonfireVN on YouTube.)I somehow missed that Dark Souls turned 15 two weeks ago. Honestly, what do you even say about it that hasn't been said already? I guess that's why I'm relegating this to a quick post on the PC Gamer Hyperfeed™ rather than a 3-hour YouTube video called something like "The Haunting Ambiguity of Dark Souls 1." The game is undeniably hauntingly ambiguous, though, no...
It's very easy to look at RuneScape Reignited's announcement blog or fancy trailer and assume it's a new upgraded version of the classic game—it certainly walks and talks like one, not dissimilar to the upcoming World of Warcraft: Forever. "Begin the journey anew with a year of restoration changes paving your path," et cetera. But it's actually a new character type in the existing RS3, and existing players aren't all...
The promotional blitz for Grand Theft Auto 6 continues rolling out, with the latest example being a cover feature in Love, a fashion magazine that only publishes two issues a year. I guess you've got to reach the people who don't know what the Miami Heat is somehow.One of the things the feature focuses on is the satirical side of Grand Theft Auto, mentioning that in GTA 6, alongside radio...

Crimson Desert dev Pearl Abyss has announced that its Charting the Unknown DLC will now release on October 29, two weeks on the dot after its original planned launch of October 15. After seven months of a blistering pace of updates for the singleplayer RPG, I feel like I speak for all (most?) of us when I say: Take a breather, champ. It's ok. Please don't rush. We understand. Its...
It's hard to believe it's been over a decade since The Witcher 3 first released, and even harder to believe they found a way to make Geralt's tub transformation even shinier. The seminal open world RPG's hotly anticipated remaster has finally arrived, and it's pulling people back into the Continent all these years later (now more than ever on Steam, according to SteamDB).The new screaming high is a whopping 123,359,...
After putting together a list of some of the big, well-known games currently on sale in the Steam Autumn Sale, I asked the PC Gamer team for some deeper cuts—games they're real sickos for, but that haven't gotten enough love. Here's what they brought to the table.The ones where you have to read(Image credit: High North Studios)(Image credit: Tin Man Games)(Image credit: Acrobatic Chirimenjako)(Image credit: Draw Distance)Underappreciated shooters(Image credit: Focus...
Well, I was mostly joking when I took credit for Ace Combat's director finally getting to fly in a real jet. Turns out our interview really was the catalyst. If anyone else has a dream waiting to be realized, give me a shout. Apparently I have the magic touch.(Image credit: Kazutoki Kono)

I don't typically have much love for billion-dollar corporations dropping the 'meet our legal department' hammer on no-budget modders who are just trying to exercise their creative muscles, but in this one instance I'm willing to let it slide: Bethesda has issued a cease-and-desist order to an "AI creator" who made a Fallout game set in New York City that runs in browsers.That's actually overstating it: As Chris First explained...
