Survival game The Long Dark was supposed to be over when its final story episode was released earlier this year. Developer Hinterland announced its sequel, Blackfrost, two years ago and planned to go the early access route with it just like the first game.According to a new update from the studio, however, those plans have changed a little bit. While it continues to work on Blackfrost in the background, a...
Terminally Online(Image credit: Future)This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer's very own MMO column. Every other week, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we've all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. Like our own Lincoln Carpenter, who's been enjoying a version of the galaxy far, far away from a...
After the tremendous Return of the Ancients update to Path of Exile 2, it wouldn't take much to convince me to play more of it. The action RPG is the best it's ever been and finally feels ready to come out later this year. So when developer Grinding Gear Games says it's dropping a new mini-league next week to fill some time before release, you can bet I'll be there.On...
With the memory crisis in full swing, it's taking severe chunks out of the supplies of both NAND (used for SSD storage) and DRAM, which is used for RAM modules. Chinese memory maker YMTC has had a lucrative couple of years with the former, yet it's not done yet. YMTC reportedly wants to sit at the very top of the pile for NAND flash memory, and it wants to do...
The veil between satire and reality has seemed so thin for such a long time now that I find myself double checking every other news post I see just to make sure it's not something from The Onion—sadly it never is. But I guess it could be worse, I could be the one who has to write the satire, I could be the one who has to write scripts for...
Watching videogame studios try and bob and weave around Grand Theft Auto 6's launch—especially when it was up in the air when exactly it'd come out—is a little like watching a flock of Marios (is that the correct plural noun? A mama mia of Marios?) all trying to dodge the same whomp. As was the case with the new Fable game, which got punted over into 2027 to avoid debuting...
Ananta remained a mystery for many years, but it's finally got a solid 2027 release date. Plus, there's now plenty of proper gameplay footage and hands-on impressions to peruse in the meantime, letting us all in on the secret of what else "anime GTA" is actually offering.From its release date, to characters, to gacha and gameplay, I'll explain everything you need to know about Ananta (previously Project Mugen), so you...
With mice sensors getting so ludicrously high-spec'd, some competitive gaming mouse brands are instead trying to make the shell as light as possible. Lighter = speedier. And Pulsar is finally joining the uber-lightweight mouse trend, with a 29 gram gaming mouse that is, well, half of a mouse. Effectively, the new X2F CrazyLight is just the front half of a gaming mouse, including the sensors, switches, and battery. Pulsar is...
After having one too many "wait, I know this song" moments during Netflix's extended Grand Theft Auto 6 preview, I couldn't resist piecing together a playlist of possible songs we'll hear on the in-game radio. After all, who drives around Vice City (or in real life, for that matter) without their favorite jams? So, just as we've done with possible GTA 6 cars and its map, I've drummed up a...
Well, I think we all knew we'd end up here eventually, right?It seems that Cyberleek, perpetrator of the last week's GTA 6 leaks and perhaps the world's least-convincing self-appointed champion of consumer rights, may not have ultimately been encouraging the use of their $CYBERLEEK cryptocurrency for benevolent purposes: As of this morning, it seems the leaker has cashed out on their scheme to the tune of over $200,000 in a...
