No Rest for the Wicked has been one of 2024’s most interesting releases. Though it got snubbed in many end-of-year awards, it remains an incredible title with an eclectic (and clever) mix of genres.
]]>Remember when it looked like Take-Two was shutting down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 - the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World only for Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick to then say that it "didn't shutter" those studios? Well, Take-two's now confirmed those shutterings, as well as the sale of indie publisher Private Division.
]]>Despite only being delayed just the other week, Tales of the Shire already has a release date, and it's not much later than you might have expected.
]]>Apologies to those of you hoping to escape to a cosy Hobbit life, but Tales of the Shire has been delayed into 2025.
]]>Tim Cain might be best known as a co-creator of the original Fallout, but some of his most recent work has come with Obsidian on its The Outer Worlds series. While he’s currently consulting on The Outer Worlds 2, Cain’s just shared a demo of the first game from just a year into its development, and it’s well worth checking out.
]]>Today is a big day for No Rest for the Wicked, the action RPG from Moon Studios. The stunning fantasy game has been in Steam Early Access for a little over three months, and while updates were initially fast and furious, things have slowed down a fair bit.
]]>Original Fallout co-creator Tim Cain has discussed the idea of whether he'd be interested in potentially working on the series again, if he were asked to. The developer says his interest in any Fallout project he was pitched would mainly come down to one key element - "What's new about it?"
]]>Take-Two only just laid off 5% of its staff in April, but it's now reportedly looking to shift its indie publishing label Private Division, whether by selling it or simply closing it.
]]>No Rest for the Wicked players have waited a long time for this one, but the second major Early Access patch for the action RPG has finally arrived. This is easily the game’s biggest update, releasing a little over one month after launch.
]]>Ok, so, you remember when it looked an awful lot like Take-Two was shutting down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 - the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World - earlier this month? Well, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has now said that it "didn't shutter" the studios, leaving us all wondering whether they still, er, actually exist.
]]>I have mixed feelings about the early access model. It’s a great way for studios to get projects off the ground, a much needed part of the funding mix in an age of ballooning budgets and perilously long development cycles. But as a consumer, you’re essentially paying to be a play tester. So while I’m glad it exists as one of the ways to get games made in the first place, I find it deeply unattractive as a proposition.
]]>Take-Two Interactive, the company behind GTA developer Rockstar Games - is reportedly set to shut down both Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and Roll7 - the studio behind Rollerdrome and OlliOlli World.
]]>Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler has made the always wise decision to frame No Rest for the Wicked as their own Lord of the Rings.
]]>I haven't spent more than a few hours with No Rest for the Wicked yet, but it already feels like something special, and I wholeheartedly believe Moon Studios made the right call with an early access launch.
]]>No Rest for the Wicked, the - initially divisive - new Early Access game from Moon Studios, has been available to play for one week. The developer has been diligently, and quite remarkably, releasing hotfixes almost every day since the game’s release.
]]>No Rest for the Wicked developer Moon Studios is seemingly living up to the game’s name. Shortly after the Early Access launch of the action RPG, the team got to work on tackling some of the more common complaints.
]]>Explaining what kind of game No Rest for the Wicked is, is going to prove challenging. After spending a few hours with the - clearly very divisive - Steam Early Access launch build, I don’t think I’m closer to quite nailing the answer down, yet. I can tell you, however, that I just can’t stop playing it.
]]>The launch of No Rest for the Wicked hasn’t gone as smoothly as many had hoped. While there were no server issues to contend with, or severe optimisation and game stability problems, the reception has so far been mixed.
]]>No Rest for the Wicked, the unlikely next game from Ori series creator Moon Studios, is one day away from release. As we approach the big day, the developer has been revealing a few final details about the game, alongside dropping the launch trailer.
]]>Penny's Big Breakaway just got a release date at today's Nintendo Direct! That's right, all around the world, folks with a Nintendo Switch can jump into this slick looking 3D platformer starting today!.
]]>We might not know much about The Outer Worlds 2 yet, but one little nugget that’s just emerged is that its devs are getting some helpful guidance from Fallout co-creator Tim Cain.
]]>The Ori and the Blind Forest developer, Moon Studios, has announced its latest game at The Game Awards.
]]>November is looking to be a good month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as the previously PlayStation and PC exclusive Rollerdrome arrives at the end of the month.
]]>Take-Two's Private Division label is developing a Lord of the Rings game, and it's called Tales of the Shire.
]]>When you’re dealing with a hybrid console, the best Switch games have to be just as brilliant on the bus home from work as they are on a 65 inch OLED.
]]>Following the publishing of this article, Private Division did release a performance update as promised and are currently working to optimise the game further. We can report that the situation on PS5 at least is better, certainly a lot more playable, and the game engages VRR now which helps smooth things out if you have a capable screen. But it’s still noticeably choppy out in the open world, to the point where we would still recommend sticking with the original version, which had a 60fps update on consoles some time ago and still looks great.
]]>Moon Studios, developer behind Ori and the Blind Forest, is working on a new game, with the studio's creative director saying it's like its "Zelda."
]]>Lord of the Rings fans should be happy, as Wētā Workshop is officially working on a new game set in the Middle-earth universe.
]]>For the first few seconds of the reveal trailer for Rollerdrome, I was confident Shedworks' Sable was being announced for PlayStation. But what we actually got was a surprise reveal from Roll7, the studio behind the recently released OlliOlli World.
]]>You’ve been waiting for what feels like a lifetime for Skate 4, right? Even since we heard EA almost begrudgingly accept that ‘yes, the sequel is real‘ at E3 2020, there have been precious few updates about the title. Between the series’ kick and push back into public consciousness and the likes of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2, Skater XL and Session all popularizing everyone’s favorite counter-culture all over again, skating is – finally – getting the love it deserves on screen and pad.

]]>If there’s one thing that Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey has taught me, it’s that I would not survive in the jungle longer than a day and humanity would have died with me. It's difficult to tell if this would be entirely my fault, or the result of a game that goes out of its way to be obtuse.
