A Ghost of Tsushima movie is currently in the works, with the movie set to be directed by Chad Stahleski, […]
Despite this being one of the most controversial decisions made in the PC ports of their PlayStation games, Sony is doing it again. The PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on PC will add a mandatory PSN account requirement. The decision to do this in their previous games has already had Sony under fire by the masses, and it seems that they haven't read the criticisms, or they would stray from making such a decision. While the PC upgrade will come with benefits, this serves as a huge inconvenience to those who don't want to have to make a […]
It's no surprise whatsoever that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was going to be announced, and as expected, it was announced today during the State of Play. The remaster will be available on PlayStation 5 and PC, with the game launching on 31 October 2024. Those who already own the original PlayStation 4 title will be able to get an upgrade for $9.99. At the moment, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered isn't listed on the Steam store, despite the release date of the game being so close. Compared to The Last of Us remasters, there seems to be more substance to this […]
Ghost of Tsushima was one of the most popular games released in 2020, with the game being nominated for an immense amount of awards, as well as winning a fair amount of them.

Ghost of Yotei will take place in […]

Pocketpair and Nintendo are currently tackling a lawsuit, with Nintendo suing them over patent infringement. While it wasn't confirmed, it was suspected by many that the reason Pocketpair pulled out of Tokyo Game Show as an exhibitor was due to the lawsuit.

Newzoo's financial report for August 2024 is out, discussing the engagement and revenue rankings for the month. Many of the statistics aren't too surprising, with Black Myth: Wukong dominating the market. Although Black Myth: Wukong was incredibly popular and performed well in revenue, it didn't quite hit the mark regarding MAU (Monthly Active Users) rankings. Despite not performing well in the MAU rankings, it remained first in August and was the top-grossing game in six markets. This was a huge achievement for Game Science, the game developer, as they had only worked on mobile titles previously. The game was #1 […]
