It’s the most annoying day of the yeeeeear – yes, in case you haven’t looked at the calendar and are wondering why everyone’s gone crazy, today is April Fools Day. While some gags are fun enough (CDPR’s floppy disc edition of Cyberpunk 2077 is cute) too many are just kind of lame, or worse, promise something kind of cool-sounding, with the punchline being… that it’s not happening. Ho ho! Thankfully, some studios have realized that a lot of folks are kinda over the standard approach to April Fools, and have instead gone the extra step of doing gags that are […]
April Fools’ Day is a nightmare for news writers. This morning, I woke up to an Overwatch Cavalry post about an Overwatch 2 x Valorant crossover, and it took my brain at least eight seconds to catch up to the date posted underneath the graphic. April F...

One of 2024's breakout hits is the monster-taming survival title Palworld. While still technically in early access, the game’s melting pot of popular genres has helped it quickly reach widespread popularity and achieve high sales since January 19. Now ...
One of 2024's biggest games, Palworld, was not developed by a big team. In fact, Pocketpair founder Takuro Mizobe recently told Bloomberg that the studio is tight-knit because it’s modest in size, comprising just 55 people in Tokyo. Mizobe also said th...
Palworld creator Takuro Mizobe has said that his studio is in talks to release the 'Pokemon with Guns' game on more platforms. That's what the CEO of Pocketpair and creator of Palworld said in a new interview with Bloomberg. According to Mizobe, he wants to bring the title to additional platforms beyond Xbox Game Pass and Steam. As also revealed by the CEO, his studio is open to partnerships or acquisitions. Given the huge success on Microsoft's platform (and Microsoft's acquisition spree), many considered the possibility of Pocketpair being acquired by Microsoft as well. This, however, isn't the case for […]
Spring is almost upon us (or already here for those lucky enough to not be living in Canada) and that means the Steam Spring Sale is in full swing, offering discounts on thousands of titles. This year, we’re getting deep discounts on some of 2023’s top games, including Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, Mortal Kombat 1, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Recent hits like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Palworld are also getting their first modest discounts. Of course, some perennial favorites like GTA V are also on sale. I’ve picked out a selection of deals that might pique your interest. Check […]
The Pokémon-like is a popular subgenre of game, spawning successes like Palworld and Temtem—games that have toyed with the legendary franchise’s monster-catching formula in multiplayer settings. However, though the former is fresher and seemingly built...
This week was marked by more inescapable upheaval on the gaming landscape, as PlayStation announced massive cuts across its studios and canceled some games in development. But there was some lighthearted fun to be had as well, with Hideo Kojima sharing...
Helldivers 2 is officially suffering from success. There had already been signs, namely the need for the developers to upgrade its servers to hold the sheer amount of people who wanted to play, but the latest development is likely the surest. Overnight...
Don’t you just hate it when a glitch you exploit in your fave video game gets fixed? I do, too, and apparently, so do Palworld players. Developer Pocketpair recently patched up a popular bug-turned-feature in the Pokémon clone that let players do somet...
