Did you get off on outsmarting enemies, tiptoeing around the xenomorph, and praying that your save file isn’t going to get permenantly screwed by a misjudged visit to a terminal in the original Alien: Isolation? Yes? Well then, you’re going to be thrilled to find out that a sequel is real, and in production at Sega.
]]>If there's one Total War game I keep coming back to, on those late nights when I hunger for the series' beloved brand of tactical management gameplay, it's Total War Three Kingdoms. A delve into the romantic depiction of China's great history, a time where acts of heroism placed generals and tacticians in the pantheon alongside gods. A great revolution thwarted, legendary betrayals and alliances, and a country engulfed in flames. It is one of my feel good games - the great stress diluter - and it stands today a butchered pariah. A game whose life was cut short, and ultimately resigned to history.
]]>Sega might have cancelled Hyenas, but you shouldn't count Creative Assembly out just yet, as it's reportedly working on a Total War Star Wars game next.
]]>After deep-sixing Hyenas out of the blue earlier this year, Sega has revealed that it plans to have Creative Assembly redirect its attention towards genres that it’s already proven itself in going forwards.
]]>Another month, another set of PlayStation Plus leaks, this time for the titles that you'll be able to play at the Extra tier.
]]>SEGA has announced that it's cancelling Hyenas as part of "structural reforms" to its EU business. The game, being developed by UK-based Creative Assembly, was announcec back in 2022 and was targetting this year for release.
]]>Hyenas' closed beta test has just concluded, and to my surprise, I’m keen to play it again. Creative Assembly’s take on the extraction shooter genre is vibrant, fluid, and teething at the brim with nostalgia; it’s not perfect – games rarely are! – but it’s gone to show that the live service shooter genre isn’t dead in the water just yet.
]]>Sega's upcoming wacky merch-stealing extraction shooter Hyenas is getting a closed beta test on PC at the end of the month.
]]>Welcome to VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 38 - The best game you'd never believe was from that developer.
]]>Just before the year is over, Sega and Creative Assembly are giving players one more shot at getting some hands on time with the studio's upcoming multiplayer shooter, Hyenas. This is the game's biggest alpha weekend, meaning it will be open to a lot more players.
]]>Halloween is right around the corner, and I don’t know about any of you, but it’s definitely one of my favourite holidays of the year. Mainly because, unlike Christmas (in which I rarely get to relax, let alone boot up a game), it’s the perfect excuse for me to kick back and chill out with my favourite genre of game, and that’s horror.
]]>Saving your game shouldn’t be so stressful. Getting to a Registration Point and operating the key card-activated, payphone like system – it takes seconds. But seconds are precious. Especially when there’s something, somewhere nearby, lurking. Waiting. Breathing. Watching. You’re pressing the skin of your face to the inside of a locker, eyeing up that terminal, knowing it’s less than 20 feet away, probably. But, moments ago, you heard the telltale ding of sinew on metal. The Xenomorph is nearby. And it’s waiting for you to make your move.
]]>Total War, Alien: Isolation, Hyenas – three games that could not be further apart in tone if they tried. Yet, that’s Creative Assembly for you: a British institution known for its quality and prestige, that came out of nowhere (well, not quite nowhere) earlier this year to unveil Hyenas – a multiplayer, multi-team heist shooter that takes great joy in big explosions, pop culture references, and zero-g movement to deliver a game unlike anything the studio has put out before.
]]>Creative Assembly is going back to the world of shooters. After the relative success of Alien: Isolation, the Total War studio has revealed it's working on a new multiplayer shooter called Hyenas.
]]>If you’re looking to scare yourself silly with some of the best horror games of all time, then you’re in the right place. Halloween has been and gone, but it's always an appropriate time to get cosy and play something spine-tingling. Whether you’re looking to lose sleep for fear of what lurks in the shadows, or you simply want some fear-fuelled laughs, there are an abundance of tremendously terrifying video games out there to try.
]]>Some embrace their faith when the gods fall silent, believing it a test or perhaps condemnation of their unworthiness. Others seek knowledge. Yuri of the Kislev sought to find and free his people’s sacred bear, Ursun, after six years of permanent winter and despair. When he found the object of his people’s adoration, Yuri acted without hesitation – and murdered him, absorbing the power of Chaos, transforming into a demon, and plunging the world into war.
