]]>You know GTA 6? That small game that's set to come out later this year and definitely hasn't had people on the internet going a bit wild as they try to predict when it might get a second trailer? Well, it's projected to make an obscene amount of cash when it arrives.
]]>One of 2024's more bizarre stories may have come to a strange conclusion, as a developer from Game Science has posted about Black Myth Wukong's absence from Xbox on Chinese social media platform Weibo.

]]>On the heels of Rare’s success with Sea of Thieves, the British studio announced what would be its next project in November 2019.
