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...
Over two years since the official announcement, the Max Payne 1 and 2 remake has finally entered full production, Remedy Entertainment confirmed today. In its latest financial report, the development studio provided an update on the projects currently in development, starting from the highly anticipated remake that will combine the first two entries in the series. According to today's update, the remake entered full production in the second quarter of 2024, and the current goal is to have the game in an early functional state from beginning to end. Besides providing an update on the Max Payne 1 and 2 […]
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...
Alan Wake 2 The Lake House DLC is coming sometime this October, Remedy Entertainment has confirmed. The game's second expansion is part of the Expansion Pass alongside the Night Springs DLC (which we reviewed some days ago), and we now have a release month for the DLC - October 2024. Remedy confirmed as much on the recently-updated Alan Wake 2 FAQ. Aside from the release month, Remedy has yet to provide additional details about the second expansion, although the FAQ does mention the following: "The Lake House is a mysterious facility situated on the shores of Cauldron Lake set up […]
We’ve known since the launch of Alan Wake 2 that Remedy was preparing two pieces of story DLC for the game, but now we’ve finally laid eyes on the first expansion. Alan Wake 2: Night Springs focuses on the in-universe late night TV show Night Springs, essentially the Alan Wake version of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and other similar shows. The first trailer for Alan Wake 2: Night Springs, revealed during the Summer Game Fest kickoff show, leaves no doubt that we’re diving even deeper down the series’ weird multimedia rabbit hole. The DLC will include three “episodes,” each […]
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....
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 […]
New Alan Wake 2 PC system requirements were shared online today by Remedy Entertainment as a new patch optimizing rendering for older GPUs went live. As patch 1.0.16.1 optimizes rendering for older GPUs that do not support mesh shaders, the game's GPU minimum requirements were changed to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 and AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. The changes introduced in the update also improve performance for GPUs that do support mesh shaders. We've been optimizing the PC version of Alan Wake 2, and as a result the minimum PC system requirements have been lowered. Please check the updated image! […]
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...
A new Alan Wake II patch is now live on PC and consoles, introducing a new Chapter Select feature and tons of other improvements, including performance enhancements on all formats. Patch 1.0.15, the game's first patch of 2024, introduces a handy way to replay completed story chapters with the Chapter Select feature, making it much easier to track down all of the collectibles hidden in the main campaign's many locations. Alongside the new feature, the new Alan Wake II patch brings gameplay and mission fixes and improvements, a general visual polish, and performance enhancements on all formats. On PlayStation 5, […]

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 […]
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...
