It feels a bit like we're in the long wait before the hardware world returns to normal, doesn't it? Thanks to the global memory shortage, when memory-clad products launch at all they're slapped with dizzying price tags. Given this, hearing that we're only going to see one next-gen GPU next year feels about right. And apparently it won't be a top-end one, either.That is what we are hearing from prolific...

Back in May, myself and some of the fantastic PC Gaming Show team went to Finland to interview the brilliant creative minds at Remedy. We learned a lot about Control Resonant, the upcoming ARPG sequel to 2019's Control. We showed you a snippet of those interviews in our June PC Gaming Show, but now, we've declassified the full video.In case you need a refresher, Resonant follows Dylan Faden, brother of...

MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy (BARB) appears to have undergone another round of layoffs, and these latest cuts could be fatal, as multiple people have indicated that all remaining employees are being let go.BARB has been struggling since the release of its startlingly bad (yet still strangely entertaining) action-thriller MindsEye in 2025, a situation made outright bizarre by the studio's repeated claims that it was the victim of a...

Aniimo smooshes cute creature capturing and open world exploration together to serve us a meal with notes of Genshin Impact, Infinity Nikki, and the grandaddy of trapping critters in balls: Pokemon. But although it may look like developer Pawprint Studio has included a side of gacha with that meal, it's actually a little more complicated than that.Is Aniimo a gacha game?(Image credit: Pawprint Studio)Is Aniimo a gachaNo, Aniimo is not...

The Witcher 3 is getting an expansion, Songs of the Past, over a decade after its release—along with a pretty hefty remaster. And you might think hey, how is CD Projekt Red working on all of this and The Witcher 4 at the same time? The answer, like many studios, is that it's not doing it alone.The studio's partnering up with Fool's Theory, a studio led by former CDPR folks,...

When I got to play a sliver of Company of Heroes 3's dynamic Italian campaign for the first time, it was hard not to be impressed. The team had taken all the best parts of Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault, expanded it, and then added all sorts of novel new ideas. It felt like I was playing Total War: World War 2. A year later, once I'd been given...

Wondering how to fish in Valheim? When you're not slaying Odin's enemies in the Norse underworld, it makes perfect sense to kick back with a relaxing bit of fishing.
