Nintendo is asking a California court to force Discord to give up the identity of the person behind last year’s massive Pokémon data breach, known among the Pokémon community as the “Teraleak.” It’s called the Teraleak because of just how much information was released online; the leaker claimed to have source code for the upcoming game Pokémon Legends: Z-A (though they did not release it), as well as next-generation Pokémon...

Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world action game from Massive Entertainment, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on Sept. 4, publisher Ubisoft announced Friday.

It’s another sign that Nintendo is determined to establish...

The results are in: A lot of us really like Blue Prince. The game about solving puzzles in an ever-shifting manor takes a bit to get going, but once you’re in, you’re in. Data from Steam players — where the game seems to be the most popular — backs this up, according to a LinkedIn post by Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott. While we won’t know official numbers, Elliott says...

The Shrine is an Outer Room in Blue Prince that’ll provide you with a blessing at the cost of some of your gold coins. Shrine blessings are powerful boons that will assist you as you’re exploring the estate and uncovering more of its secrets.
