Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories.

Ballad of Antara, a free to play fantasy action RPG, received a promising new gameplay video of nearly 15 minutes today. The game is being developed by Tipsworks, the Chinese studio behind the challenging Soulslike game Pascal's Wager, which debuted on mobile devices in 2020 before launching on PC (Steam) in 2021 and Nintendo Switch in 2022. Here's a brief overview provided by publisher Infold Games: From a distant past, the arrows of time have gone wayward, and the seeds of everything in between ceased to blossom.

Following the combat and progression showcases, the developer has now published a new blog post and a series of flyover videos about the exploration and regions that players will encounter in the game.

This morning, Chinese developer Game Science shared the final gameplay trailer for the upcoming action RPG Black Myth: Wukong. The video shows the game's stunning world that players will get to experience in just twelve days from today. Black Myth: Wukong was first unveiled to the world nearly four years ago, in August 2020. Right away, it looked like a game worth following closely. In early 2021, the studio set a tentative 2023 launch window, but it proved too ambitious. Game Science had to delay it to 2024, but it also brought a playable demo at Gamescom 2023, giving everyone […]
As one of the hardest demo appointments to get into at Summer Game Fest's Play Days, we were excited to get hands-on with a quick thirty-minute demonstration of Phantom Blade Zero. Hardcore action titles such as this can have such a different vibe between watching someone else play the game during an online stream versus being able to pick up a controller and play for yourself. It was during Summer Game Fest 2024 that we finally got a brief taste of the Wuxia action players can look forward to in Phantom Blade Zero, a title that needs no introduction nor […]
Wccftech recently had the opportunity to get an intimate behind-closed-doors look at Monster Hunter Wilds with a 30-minute gameplay demonstration from the Director of the title himself, Yuya Tokuda. During this hands-off demo, Capcom showcased a selection of early game content, from departing the main village and venturing out into the wilds with a map size that they’re already touting as over two times larger than previous titles and featuring a seamless transition with no loading from camp to quest. As the player Hunter ventures out from the base camp riding on a Seikret, the new pack animal and mount […]
As the period fans have been begging Ubisoft forever since Desmond’s first days in the Animus, Assassin’s Creed is finally exploring Feudal Japan with a new story and dual protagonist setup. Book-ending the Ubisoft Forward press conference and our last appointment of Summer Game Fest’s Play Days, Ubisoft invited us to take a deeper behind-closed-doors look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows. During a guided presentation on PlayStation 5, Ubisoft presented an intimate look following the first assassination mission involving Yasuke, the more brash and directly honorable of the dual protagonists. Standing approximately six feet tall, Yasuke is head and shoulders above […]
Yesterday, Kai checked out a behind-closed-doors media presentation of Dragon Age: The Veilguard; you can read his report here. Today, BioWare is sharing the first 15-minute gameplay video with everyone, and they've also sent a fact sheet that clarifies several details and features of the upcoming action RPG. Let's start with the first juicy details on the storyline of the fourth mainline installment in the franchise. As everyone who played Dragon Age: Inquisition and its DLCs already knows, Solas, companion to the Inquisitor player character during the previous game, is none other than the Elven trickster god of legend, also […]
No longer focused on Dread Wolf (Solas’ pet name, as players learn early on in this upcoming story), Bioware has returned to their storied RPG franchise with Dragon Age: The Veilguard. In one of the first semi-public demonstrations, Wccftech recently sat in on a behind-closed-door experience to take a peek at the character creation and initial story beats to the Veilguard. As is typical for Dragon Age heroes, players first begin by picking their primary class between the assortment of Rogue, Warrior and Mage. From there, players dig into specializations that make each class feel specialized. For the Rogue that […]

Two and a half years after the project's announcement, Notorious Studios unveiled its debut game, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery, during yesterday's OTK Games Expo. The studio was founded by several former members of the World of Warcraft team. However, this is no MMO. Instead, it sounds more like an extraction action RPG set in a fantasy world. In the official FAQ listed on the game's website, Notorious Studios explained: The vision of Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is to be the ultimate world PvPvE game. Players can embark on adventures either solo or with up to two other friends in open-world […]
Fittingly, Bandai Namco invited Wccftech and a number of other global journalists out to experience an exclusive hands-on with the upcoming DLC expansion for 2022’s Game of the Year, Elden Ring. The venue of choice was a cemetery in sunny Southern California and after a brief bus ride through Hollywood and passing by rows of elaborate tombstones and a live peacock enclosure, we were greeted by a choir quartet and a life-sized statue of Miquella’s Egg taken straight from Mohgwyn Palace. It’s here that Bandai Namco graciously lets us sit down for the first two hours of the upcoming Shadow […]
