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 […]
The Xbox Series X sales have increased significantly in Japan following the announcement of a PlayStation 5 price increase which will go into effect next week. As reported by Automaton, on Yodobashi, one of Japan's biggest retailers, the console reached number 8 in the games and consoles charts this morning, which is an amazing result, considering the system wasn't even in the top 100 yesterday. With the PS5's price increase, the Xbox Series X has become an enticing purchase, as it now costs the equivalent of $100 less. In addition, it seems like it has become difficult for Japanese players […]
Black Myth Wukong, the popular action RPG developed by Game Science, is still indefinitely delayed on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S due to a memory leak issue. As reported by the reliable exstas1s, the game by Game Science released last week on PC and PlayStation 5 is still delayed indefinitely on Microsoft's consoles due to a memory leak error, which causes crashes and apparently affects the consoles as well. As such, the game still hasn't passed certification. The studio, however, is working hard to solve the issue and obtain certification, but sadly, it is not yet known when […]
A new Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One SystemOS kernel exploit called Collateral Damage was released online today, giving users total control over the SystemOS virtual machine to do things normally not possible in retail mode. The Collateral Damage exploit, which was developed by Emma Kirkpatrick and Lander Brandt, targets systems running kernel versions 25398.4478, 25398.4908, and 25398.4909 and uses the Game Script UWP application. As explained by one of the exploit's developers on X/Twitter, this isn't a jailbreak, as SystemOS is the virtual machine where apps run, which is the same environment users get control over […]
Thanks to a new important update to Developer Mode, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles could run PlayStation 3 games before Sony implements proper PS3 backward compatibility on PlayStation 5. As reported in a new video by Modern Vintage Gamer that highlights how the Xbox Series S, in particular, is still an emulation beast despite changes made in the past few months, Developer Mode was recently updated with Mesa (OpenGL/Vulkan) support, which, in theory, could make PlayStation 3 and even Nintendo Switch emulation possible. As of now, this new development has made it possible for the Nintendo […]
With a release date finally announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Square-Enix has finally lifted the veil and shown off Dragon Quest III HD-2D for the first time in years in hopes of bringing the Erdrick trilogy to a new generation. While Square-Enix didn’t explicitly come out and say that they had plans for a trilogy during the hands-on preview, they noted that they wanted to start with Dragon Quest III chronologically as it was the first to come in the series. Nintendo spilled the beans during today's Nintendo Direct announcing the first two Dragon Quest titles also getting the HD-2D […]
Of all the genres that NetEase has had a hand in publishing, a competitive fast-paced FPS hasn’t yet been one of them. The newly announced FragPunk from Bad Guitar Studio, a subsidiary of NetEase’s ThunderFire Studio, aims to bring the competitive 5v5 gunplay to the masses with a unique twist: Shard Cards. We got to experience the chaotic clash firsthand with a few rounds accompanied by two of the lead developers on the project. Recently unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase, FragPunk is a fusion between two of the most popular competitive FPS on the market: Overwatch and Counter-Strike. From […]
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is out now, and on PC, it’s a demanding but visually dazzling experience if you’ve got the hardware (check out Alessio’s review of the game running on an RTX 4090 here), but what about consoles? Before launch, it was revealed that Hellblade II would only have a single 30fps visual mode on Xbox Series X/S, but at least that narrow focus would mean the game would consistently nail that 30fps, right? Well, about that… the folks at ElAnalistaDeBits have taken the Xbox versions of Hellblade II for a spin, and the results aren’t quite as solid […]
Shortly after the untimely news of Akira Toriyama’s passing, Wccftech was invited to visit Bandai Namco’s California campus for one of the last hands-on opportunities before Sand Land’s launch next April. In a more in-depth experience than last year’s Summer Game Fest, we were invited out to freely explore the first couple of chapters of this open-world adventure. As the Prince of Demons and son of Lucifer, players take up the mantle of Beelzebub, a spunky little pink devil that’s not too far removed from the aliens of the week that pop up throughout Toriyama’s most famous of works, Dragon […]
In recent months, there’s been a lot of debate and concern about the future of the Xbox brand, with Microsoft seemingly tip-toeing away from exclusives and the traditional console business. In a recent “business update,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer and other execs sought to calm fears, saying major exclusives like Starfield are staying put (for now) and Microsoft is working on powerful new hardware, but fans have been skeptical in the face of “flatlining” demand for Xbox consoles. Well, Spencer sat down for an interview with Polygon at GDC, and it seems he has a new pitch – in Spencer’s […]
While Microsoft has tried to put a happy face on things, the future of Xbox – at least Xbox as a distinct brand with its own hardware and exclusives – has never been more in question. Last month Microsoft tried to calm worries with an Xbox Business Update, in which they revealed several older, smaller-scale games were going multiplatform, but that others, like Starfield, aren’t for now. Furthermore, they vowed to continue working on new hardware which will, apparently, deliver the “largest technical leap ever” (how they plan to deliver on that boast, I don’t know). That all sounds good, […]
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...
