It may be Saturday, but it’s possible your week’s work has just begun. Sure, Fortnite dropped its Week 3 quests for Absolute Doom days ago, but you got a little busy, and now you’ve got some catching up to do. If Robert Downey Jr. has taught us anythin...
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 […]
Back in 2012, Remedy put out Alan Wake, a pulpy third-person shooter about a troubled author literally battling the forces of darkness, as well as his own demons, with a flashlight and a gun. It didn’t light the world on fire, but over the years, it di...
How does a developer follow up a game like 2023’s Alan Wake 2? How do you follow a survival horror game steeped in meta-textual commentary on art and its own troubled road to release, with incredibly bold themes and genre-bending moments that earned it...
Late Sunday evening, I logged onto Fortnite to enjoy all the newly added Star Wars content, solo-queuing up for a No Build quads match right away. As I waited for the battle bus to pick me up, I could hear one of my teammates loudly playing Canadian ac...
We’ve all bought a second or maybe even third copy of a game we really, really love. Longtime Kotaku readers know of my obsession with re-buying Resident Evil 4. But I’m not sure there’s a game I love so much that I would buy thousands of copies of it....
Qualcomm previously stated that its Snapdragon X Elite can run most games but did not dive into the image quality and framerate details. We recently reported that the SoC could maintain a solid 30FPS when running Baldur’s Gate 3 at low settings. This is an impressive feat, considering that the AAA title was running at the 1080p resolution and that the Snapdragon X Elite comes armed with nothing more than an integrated GPU. We now learn that the silicon can run Control, a 2019 action-adventure game developed by Remedy, at just under 40FPS, but again, at low settings. Bear in mind […]
New details on the Control multiplayer spin-off game Condor were shared by developer Remedy Entertainment with a new infographic. The infographic, which was shared in the studio's latest investor report, provides some additional information on the game's lore, revealing how the Oldest House is under lockdown, and trapped within it is the last vestige of the Federal Bureau of Control, who will attempt to take back control of the Oldest House from the supernatural forces dwelling within. Not much else is revealed about the game in the infographic, other than that the game was in the production readiness state at […]
Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early-to-mid March, and there’s a decent array of stuff to choose from. The headliner is Sony’s own MLB The Show 24, and as in the past couple years, Xbox owners actually get a better deal on the game (it won’t be on PS Plus on Day 1). Those who buy the Digital Deluxe Add-on can even get in on the MLB The Show 24 early access period via Game Pass. Subscribers can also look forward to a few more solid options, includng Control […]
Today, Remedy announced the acquisition of the full rights to the Control franchise from publisher 505 Games for €17 million, which is basically what the publisher had paid for the development of Control 2 and codename Condor to date. 505 Games will remain the publisher of the original Control through a transition period that will end on December 31, 2024. Remedy decided to proceed with this operation to ensure better deals for future installments in the franchise. CEO Tero Virtala said: Having complete ownership over the franchise gives us the freedom to decide the best path forward. We will consider […]
Alan Wake II’s 1.15 update is now live on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. It fixes a ton of bugs, improves some visual issues, and also adds an option to make the game a little less scary. Importantly, it may also render the game more playable for those with...
Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has recently filed a trademark for FBC: Firebreak in Europe. The trademark was filed by Remedy some days ago at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) under sections "computer gaming software" as well as "clothing", and "audio, video and multimedia production, and photography". This could suggest that the project could very well extend into other media as well. On the other hand, filling trademarks with additional nice classes is common for publishers and developers. As such, this doesn't necessarily confirm the extension to other media. At the moment of writing, the trademark […]
If you’ve been eyeing (or playing) Alan Wake II lately but haven’t yet played any of the other titles in Remedy Games’ growing “Remedyverse” of connected stories, then you might want to take a look at the Epic Games Store right now. During its “Develop...

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...
