EVERSPACE 2 developer ROCKFISH Games, being headquartered in Hamburg, couldn't very well pass up on the Cologne-based Gamescom, especially since they've got the Titans DLC coming up soon. Due to launch on September 16 across all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X) for a price tag of $15, this is the first story DLC for the space combat game that was fully released in 2023. I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]
We’re coming up on a year since Microsoft finished its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the publisher’s games are slowly but surely beginning to trickle onto Xbox Game Pass. In August, the subscription service gets Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilo...
In recent weeks, King employees have swapped their LinkedIn information, saying they are now working in Blizzard. This comes in conjunction with Microsoft and Activision's new team, which has been created within Blizzard. This team takes employees from King and other various Blizzard employees and is now a focused team dedicated to working on Blizzard's "AA" games, such as World of Warcraft, Overwatch, StarCraft, and more. The expansion doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard last year for a hefty $72 billion. This gave Microsoft leverage over some of its major franchises, such as Call […]
Last year, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson said AI would help the publisher unlock the “holy grail” of game development. Now he’s confirmed the company has already used it to make its latest sports blockbuster, EA College Football 25. Read more...
This week, the long-anticipated Fallout: London mod finally arrived. That’s cool! Less cool is the Cybertruck showing up in Fortnite. Also, a Call of Duty game has finally arrived on Game Pass, some time after Microsoft completed its acquisition of Act...
Video game actors are going on strike for the first time since 2017 after months of negotiations with Activision, Epic Games, and other big publishers and studios over higher pay, better safety measures, and protections from new generative AI technolog...
In 2007, console gaming got its first day-and-date digital release. The sci-fi war shooter Warhawk for the PlayStation 3 was sold as a Blu-ray disc in stores but was also available to buy digitally on PSN. The game is mostly forgotten now, but it was t...
Bethesda Game Studios is known for making some of the biggest open-world RPGs in gaming like Fallout 3 and Skyrim. Now it will also be known for being the first major studio in the U.S. to unionize across all of its teams. Read more...
This week saw No Man’s Sky, a game that has repeatedly reinvented itself in the years since its release, get one of its biggest overhauls ever. Not to be outdone, Baldur’s Gate 3 also got a patch that rounds out the game nicely. Also, the FTC responded...
The US FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has filed a new complaint to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit against Microsoft following the recent Game Pass price hike, alleging that this is exactly the type of post-merger behavior they wanted to prevent by blocking the acquisition. Here's an excerpt from the complaint filed by FTC counsel Imad Abyad: Product degradation—removing the most valuable games from Microsoft’s new service—combined with price increases for existing users, is exactly the sort of consumer harm from the merger the FTC has alleged. Microsoft’s price increases and product degradation—combined with Microsoft’s reduced investments […]
On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission pointed to Microsoft’s recent pricing overhaul of Xbox Game Pass as evidence of the harm its merger with Activision Blizzard has had on consumers. The agency filed a new letter in its ongoing appeal of last ye...

Xbox Game Pass started out feeling like a frivolous boondoggle aimed at distracting from the Xbox One’s lack of hit exclusives. Then, it became the best deal in gaming thanks to a steady expansion of the Netflix-like subscription library with major thi...
Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
This week saw the release of Astro Bot, a delightful game that pays tribute to the rich history of PlayStation. It also, inadvertently, highlights the dearth of new games and franchises really worth celebrating from the PS5 era. Also, Star Wars Outlaws...
