EVERSPACE 2: Titans Q&A – ROCKFISH Talks About the Upcoming DLC and More

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 […]

Night Springs Is The Perfect Follow-Up To Alan Wake 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...

10 Hopes And Predictions For Summer Game Fest

NieR Devs’ New Mystery Game Is Definitely NieR 3, Right?

If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and has previously developed extremely popular duck-based video games, then it’s fairly safe to say it’s a duck. NieR series producer Yosuke Saito, NieR series director and writer Yoko Taro, and NieR series ...

Yoko Taro Is Working on a Game That Might or Might Not Be NieR

Visionary game director and writer Yoko Taro is working on a game with Yosuke Saito and composer Keiichi Okabe, as revealed in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Gematsu). Saito teased that the project might or might not be set in the NieR series: I’ve been talking about wanting to do something with Yoko and Okabe for some time now. I’ll have something a bit more put-together to say in the not-too-distant future, so please stay tuned. It might be NieR, it might not be NieR. That’s about all I can say for now. Despite the misdirection, […]

Japanese Developers Are “Not Good at Adapting Technology From Overseas”, NieR Series Creator Says

Since the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era, Japanese developers have struggled to keep up with their Western colleagues, as, according to the NieR series creator, they are not good at adapting technology from overseas for multiple reasons. Discussing game development with Stellar Blade creative director Hyung-Tae Kim in a lengthy interview posted on IGN, Yoko Taro highlighted how it has proven difficult for Japanese developers to implement Western rendering systems, mostly because they are used to developing their own engines. Japanese developers were very late with incorporating rendering tools and middleware from the West, and even to this day, […]

Stellar Blade Combat Tips To Become The Best (And Prettiest) Sword Swinger

Stellar Blade, the PS5’s upcoming action game where you get to play as a cute lady (feels good, right?), has had a demo out since March 29. Perhaps you’ve been playing it? Whether you’ve been enjoying it or found it too cumbersome at first, it’s always...

Yoko Taro Explains Why He Envies Stellar Blade And Its Director

The similarities between Nier: Automata and Shift Up’s upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive, Stellar Blade, are evident—and not just because the former inspired the latter. Both games center women piecing together a world at its collapse, which makes the t...

The 17 Best Video Game Movies And Shows

Nier Reincarnation’s Final Chapter Is Out Now, Don’t Miss It

Did Yoko Taro Just Tease Nier 3? Not Really

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...
