While we'd not seen The Witcher 4 in action prior to last year's edition of The Game Awards, when it got itsfirst trailer, CD Projekt has been beavering away at it for a while.
]]>The longer Nintendo takes to officially unveil the Switch successor (that’s what the company is actually currently calling it), the more of these sorts of leaks are going to pop up. Because of just how protracted this entire process has felt, it is a little amusing that we’re now past hardware and design leaks, and well into game leaks.
]]>While hype for The Witcher 4's rightly through the roof right now after it got a cool new trailer at The Game Awards last week, odds are we've still got a good while to wait before we can all head off on the path as Ciri.
]]>Geralt voice actor Doug Cockle previously claimed that we won't be playing as the beloved Witcher in the next game, but it turns out he might be wrong.
]]>Once upon a time, there was a little bit of Cyberpunk in The Witcher 3, and thanks to some modders we know what that would have been like (sort of).
]]>Gwent fans and physical card game lovers, I've got great news for you: the beloved digital card game is being made real.
]]>In late 2022, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt received a pretty solid next-gen (more like current-gen now) update at no extra cost for owners of the base game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Of course, the PC release got the biggest visual improvements, but that hasn't stopped modders (now with access to the full modding tools) from iterating even further on the game's textures, meshes, and whatnot. Now, Halk Hogan's 'The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project NextGen Edition' is taking things to the next level.
]]>Ok, so REDkit's given The Witcher 3 modders the ability to do a lot of new stuff with the game this year, and the mod I'm about to tell you about might take the cake in terms of being the wackiest. Yes, even over Gaunter O'Dimm in his swimming trunks.
]]>We don't know much about what we'll be doing inThe Witcher 4 whenever it arrives, but it looks like an encounter with a character called Branko can be added to that list. That's according to the online CV of the actor who appears to be playing him in the game currently codenamed Polaris.
]]>I don't know about you, but I've spent a lot of time playing The Witcher 3 over the years, to the point where you start to feel like you just about know a game inside out. I clearly don't quite though, as one of the game's developers has just revealed he was behind a bit of cut Geralt dialogue I've never run into, mainly because you need a certain mod enabled during a specific scene to do so.
]]>Valve's not planning on doing yearly updates to its Steam Deck, the handheld's developers have reiterated. Instead, they're planning on waiting for a proper "generational leap" in teach to arrive before putting out what'll be the next generation of Deck.
]]>To me, some of the best quests in The Witcher 3 - or a number of other RPGs for that matter - are the ones that decide to get a weird and embrace being a bizarre interlude in what can otherwise be a tale that takes itself pretty seriously. One of the latest quest mods to arrive for CD Projekt's masterpiece looks like it's decided to take that route.
]]>The Witcher 3's REDkit modding tools continue to be a blessing, whether you're after cut content, autumnal vibes or the chance to sail a big ship. Now, someone's offering Geralt a chance to head off on an entirely fresh adventure to a land loreheads'll defintely be familiar with - Cintra.
]]>The Witcher, a series famously known for its use of violence and the like, is getting an all-ages graphic novel, because it's never too early to start them on the hunt.
]]>If you prefer air travel to climbing mountains or horseback, and are keen to try out cool The Witcher 3 add-ons made using its REDkit modding tools, it seems you're in luck. As part of a big new quest mod that's had its opening missions released early, you can take Geralt on a trip to a mysterious island via hot air balloon.
]]>Netflix dropped a new clip from the upcoming animated film The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, though it does unfortunately come with a delay.
]]>As expected, The Witcher 3's REDkit modding tools have given modders a chance to have a go at doing a lot of complex stuff they couldn't beforehand. The latest of these looks to be the first ever proper attempt at giving the whole map full-blown seasons, and its creator says they're planning to see if they can get the time of year to switch dynamically in the future.
]]>Warning: Major Spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lie ahead.
]]>CD Projekt has revealed that the game codenamed project Polaris - that "first instalment in the new Witcher saga" that we've all been referring to as The Witcher 4 just to make thing a bit less confusing until a proper name is slapped on it - is just about ready to enter full production.
]]>The Witcher 4 is almost definitely still years away, but if you're a fan of the books the games are based on, there's some good news.
]]>Sailing around in a little boat and occasionally sinking because you couldn't be bothered to get up and kill the sirens trying to break it apart is a key part of what makes exploration - or just commuting between missions - in The Witcher 3 a blast. Though, if you've ever thought Geralt could do with a vessel that could safely store all the drowner heads he keeps in his saddle bags, a new mod will let you have a go at sailing a full-size ship.
]]>Good news for PlayStation Plus subscribers with a taste for the wild side, as the August line-up of games have been revealed. These include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, and Cult of the Lamb. These games will be free to download for those out there with a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription starting August 20.
]]>Everyone's favourite witcher Geralt of Rivia will be in The Witcher 4… it's just sounding like he won't be the main character.
]]>It's no secret that Warner Bros. Discovery has been one of the most headache-inducing results of a massive merger in recent times (and the competition is fierce in that arena). From completely shelving essentially finished movies for tax write-offs to drunkenly re-branding HBO Max into just Max, it's been rough in there, and now it turns out the once-blooming TV business under David Zaslav's ruthless guidance is taking a massive hit as well.
]]>NetherRealm Studios has announced a whole new expansion for Mortal Kombat 1 called Khaos Reigns, and it promises more story, as well as six new characters.
]]>Warning: Spoilers for The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone lie ahead.
]]>Cartoon Network fan favourite Samurai Jack has finally been announced for MultiVersus, alongside that pesky Beetlejuice.
]]>Earlier today, SonicFox took the first-place prize in Mortal Kombat 1 at Evo 2024. However, while their peers are sponsored and traveling across the globe with the assistance of major gaming organizations, they remain a free agent. A key reason? The Esports World Cup.
]]>How do you end up working on The Witcher 4? Well, it turns out one member of the team ended up there due to some modding work they were doing in the free time they had around being a beetroot farmer. They're certainly not the only CD Projekt dev who got their industry start that way, either
]]>The Witcher 3 having a bit of a modding renaissance at the moment, and the mod I'm about to tell you about might be one of the most impressive things to come out of it so far. What does it do? Well, let you swap Geralt out for a customisable witcher, witcheress, or sorceress without blowing a huge hole in your immersion boat.
]]>You remember The Witcher 3's horse races? You know, the ones you definitely didn't fail a couple of times by getting stuck on a pole, tree, or low fence trying to cheekily cut a corner. Well, CD Projekt actually cut a number of boat races along the same lines from the game's final release, and a modder's now managed to restore them.
]]>Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League hasn't been the AAA hit Warner Bros. Games was hoping for, but the promised post-launch content is still coming.
]]>It was a wonderful weekend full of fighting game action thanks to CEO 2024, which was live in the USA. However, amidst many a tense match in Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and more, it was a Mortal Kombat 1 player that shattered expectations with an over-eager pop off.
]]>Get this - Conor McGregor, yeah the loud Irish guy of MMA and, er, other stuff fame is coming to Hitman World of Assasination as Agent 47 next big elusive target. I bet the bald guy'd be scared too, if he didn't have access to guns that kind of make it a bit pointless having a lethal rear naked choke.
]]>As you might have seen, when the reviews of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree came out the other day, it snatched the title of most highly rated DLC ever among reviewers on Metacritic. The Witcher 3's brilliant Blood and Wine expansion was the foe it surpassed to earn that honour, and now developer CD Projekt's whipped out the charm to congratulate the new titleholders.
]]>It's only been a month since Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was released in cinemas, but it looks like it's already coming to digital storefronts.
]]>Hi. There's an expansion coming out this week. It's called Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and you probably haven't heard much about it. Anyway, within a day of the reviews of it coming out ahead of its arrival on June 21, it's casually become the highest rated game of 2024 and the highest rated DLC ever among critics on Metacritic.
]]>The first trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is here, and it's even brought a release date along with it.
]]>If you've been worried that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 might require huge amount of space to install and play - say the 300GB listed on the Xbox Store over the weekend - then good news, it looks like it won't be that big after all.
]]>Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has been able to put together much of what went wrong during development with Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady Studios' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It all more or less happened how you'd expect, but some of the scrapped content was a bit of a head-scratcher.
]]>All of you MultiVersus players have probably noticed some features are missing, but Player First Games are planning on bringing them back.
]]>If you were hoping that Furiosa would get a black and white release just like Mad Max: Fury Road, you're in luck.
]]>Ah, MultiVersus. A gem of a game. The only place on earth – digital or otherwise – where you can watch Jason Voorhees use a bed to slam Velma from Scooby Doo into a golden blimp full of chicken drumsticks, for some reason. The only game in which you can hear ‘American Boy’s’ Estelle belittle Batman whilst Bugs Bunny takes a reaming from definitely-not-Justin Roiland.
]]>Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is smart enough to avoid trying to replicate Fury Road's miracle formula and relentless pacing, but doesn't always hit the mark. 'Too much of a good thing' is indeed a valid complaint here.
]]>As popular as they might be, Warner Bros. has seemingly threatened to "destroy" YouTuber ToastedShoes' channel over his Mortal Kombat 1 mod videos.
]]>It's been a big few months for Fallout, mainly thanks to that little TV show you might have heard about, but also some updates to Fallout 4 that've, er, garnered a pretty mixed reaction. Now, though, the series has really made it into the mainstream - starting today, some stuff from it's in Fortnite.
]]>Ok, so it's been less than 24 hours since CD Projekt let folks get their hands on The Witcher 3's new REDkit modding tools. Naturally, someone's already had a go at porting the bunch of areas that make up the city of Vizima in The first Witcher game into 3.
]]>Hello there. Another games studio has left the warm, er, embrace of the nice little friendship thing Embracer Group recently morphed into, and it's via an acquisition by Nintendo this time. The studio is Shiver Entertainment, and if you've ever played Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch, you've enjoyed a bit of their work.
]]>After facing controversy for a lengthy offline period, MultiVersus is back with its full launch next week, and it's adding a funny pairing of characters with it.
]]>If you've been following along with the big tiff rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been playing out via some pretty spicy diss tracks since things came to a bit of a head back in March, you'll be glad to know that you can now make the two settle their differences via a good old-fashioned brawl. Yup, a Mortal Kombat 1 modder has swapped out some of its fighters for the pair of feuding dudes.
]]>A new PvE mode is coming to MultiVersus called Rifts, and it gives you an entirely new way to play the game by allowing you to travel the Multiverse and fight through a series of encounters with combat mutators.
]]>Good news, people with a desire to virtually hit things, one of the many things that're going on in celebration of Minecraft's 15th anniversary can cater to that need. Especially if you fancy having a barney with the upcoming Minecraft movie, at least in a manner of speaking.
]]>It's already been a few years since the first Mortal Kombat movie, but Warner Bros. has finally set a date for its sequel.
]]>Warner Bros. Games has released a new MultiVersus cinematic trailer revealing The Joker as the latest playable character to join the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter.
]]>CD Projekt Red has announced it will release its The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt REDkit Mod Editor to the masses on Steam later this month.
]]>As we head into another corporate made-up holiday for May 4th, know that there is at least one significant, non-annual, and lesser-discussed Star Wars thing to celebrate in 2024 - 25 years of Lego Star Wars.
]]>You there. You like The Witcher 3 right? Well, it got some fresh modding tools last month, and, thanks to one CD Projekt developer's desire to try them out, you can now experience a bit of an alternative version of one of the most iconic quests from the excellent Blood and Wine DLC.
]]>Mortal Kombat 11 is five years old today. Although the 11 at the end of the title might suggest otherwise, this was actually an unusual game in many ways. As much as it represented the final chapter in a long-running story, I like to also think of Mortal Kombat 11 as the last game of its kind from developer NetherRealm.
]]>CD Projekt chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz says that he doesn't see a future for the dev's single-player games where it introduces microtransactions.
]]>As CD Projekt gears up for its next round of projects, the Cyberpunk and Witcher developer express interest in expanding to the mobile market.
]]>Dragon's Dogma 2 can sometimes be a bit like real life - sometimes everyone has the plague, and you never quite have enough money. Unsurprisingly, folks who’re keen not to have to save up their gold every time they want to try out a new hairstyle are already finding ways to quickly earn a fortune.
]]>It's been long and arduous road to something resembling a worthy adaptation of Frank "dirty" Herbert's sand-based epic Dune, but with the recent release of Denis Villeneuve's Dune 2, we can safely call that one done. I just hope we get enough sequels for the films to start covering such nonsense as half-worm emperors and chair dogs.
]]>MultiVersus has returned from a near-one-year hiatus with a release date announcement! The game is set to launch on May 28, with new characters, stages, and a port to Unreal Engine 5.
]]>Psst, did you know that the Cyberpunk 2077’s devs had added a fresh little secret to the game alongside one of its recent updates? Well, CD Projekt did just that, and to see it, you’ll have to get up close and personal with a giant burger.
]]>Remember MultiVersus? The free-to-play Warner Bros platform fighter that suddenly went offline and left storefronts last June? Well, it looks like it may be prepping for a grand return judging by a sudden post from its social media accounts.
]]>NetherRealm Studios has announced crossplay will come to Mortal Kombat 1 with next week’s patch.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1's second guest character is almost here, and it's none other than Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad (2021) and the Max TV series of the same name, complete with John Cena's iconic voice.
]]>The first big game of the year is inarguably Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It’s a major live service project from Warner Bros., and Batman Arkham developer Rocksteady. It also looks like it might be 2024's first big miss.
]]>The excellent Blood and Wine expansion gave Geralt of Rivia a perfect ending, but a new story set after the events of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming...in comic book form.
]]>Despite repeated rumours over the years, Rocksteady was never making a Superman game, no matter how bad you think Suicide Squad looks.
]]>It looks like all of our fears about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League might end up being true, at least going off the vibes of people who actually played it. Developer Rocksteady recently invited games media and content creators to go hands-on with the upcoming shooter for the first time.
]]>Acquisitions are becoming more and more common in the games industry, but Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red is happy to stay independent.
]]>According to Hollywood writer Drew McWeeny, Warner Bros' 2015 Mad Max game may indeed be canon, judging from his reading of the script for upcoming blockbuster Furiosa. While seemingly a small detail, this adds yet another battle scar to perhaps the most peculiar IP battles within the Mad Max franchise.
]]>Quan Chi, the first DLC character coming to Mortal Kombat 1, has been shown off in a new gameplay trailer, and I do wish there were just a few less tentacles.
]]>Despite both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 both being out for a good few years now, it seems that there are some Easter eggs that haven't been found.
]]>As much as we like to dunk on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - and that most recent trailer certainly didn't make things better - it is still major AAA release from one of the top studios in the industry.
]]>Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League continues to be a name that is too long and cumbersome. But this isn't the first time we've learned of that name, nor is it the first time we've seen the new game from Rocksteady in action.
]]>CD Projekt Red has announced it is working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
]]>As a way of addressing fervent feedback from the Mortal Kombat 1 community, Warner Bros. has reacted to the backlash over the pricing of fatalities by handing out two free fatalities to those who dished out $10 at Halloween.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 has been out for a while now, with the blood and guts gushing forth from its brutal battles evoking joy in the numerous fans who've rushed to swim around in the viscera. Though, while the base game is good, its post-launch microtransactions have rubbed folks the wrong way.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 is here, which means we're all excited to check out the variety of new ruthless fatalities usable in game. It's a bit trickier to unlock additional fatalities this time around, especially compared to some of the older games in the series. However, even if you aren't able to invest too much time, there are still plenty for you to try out from the moment you boot the game up.
]]>Video games and excessive violence go together like cheese and crackers. Laurel and Hardy. Beer and nuts. Bacon and, er, rolls. Playstation exclusives and the concept of mediocrity. We love simulated violence here at VG247, but not the real stuff, so when it came to the task of deciding which notably ultraviolent game is the best one of all we decided to solve our differences via the medium of a weekly panel show format that goes out on all the major podcast platforms and YouTube. Conveniently, we already had one, which is this show: The Best Games Ever Podcast, which you're probably listening to now if you're reading this.
]]>Another month, another set of PlayStation Plus leaks, this time for the titles that you'll be able to play at the Extra tier.
]]>Following a series of layoffs earlier this year, staff at CD Projekt Red have formed a union for the entire Polish video game industry.
]]>Turns out that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is hiding a little reference to The Witcher 3, and one that should be music to your ears.
]]>It should not be a controversial stance to believe that you, as an actor, own your own voice. However, this belief is at the center of what could be a second major video game voice actor strike. The second such strike in a decade.
]]>We're coming towards the end of September, so Xbox has revealed the next batch of games that will be coming to Game Pass throughout the rest of the month.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 isn't even technically out yet until tomorrow, but some players are already pulling off some touch of death combos.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 has already been out for a few days for players that have early access, and many have quickly discovered that its Nintendo Switch port looks a bit… funky.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 is out for those willing to shill out some serious cash for the premium or kollectors edition, and already fans are having a blast picking through the game on the lookout for cool references to past games.
]]>We all know why you're here - you wanna see some gruesome fatalities in the new Mortal Kombat game. It's okay - we're all friends here. With Mortal Kombat 1's release, we've got a huge number of new MK1 fatalities to check out. That being said, a lot of them are locked away behind character levels this time around, meaning in order to see them all you'll need to grind out a bunch of matches.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 is here at last, giving us a whole new roster of old favourites to mess around with. Havik is one among them - a fighter who hasn't really had a presence in the series for some time. If you're excited to try Havik out, you'll quickly noticed Havik is locked in the character select screen. This begs the question: how do you unlock Havik in Mortal Kombat 1?
]]>When the credits rolled at the end of Mortal Kombat 11 and the future of a rebooted timeline was clear as crystal, I'll admit I was equal parts excited and worried. The Mortal Kombat universe is this gigantic, gruesome box packed to bursting with lore-drenched realms and dozens of playable characters, all stuffed down with years of skin, spine, and spindly bits. Surely, there are only so many times you can tell the story of the Earthrealm gang wandering into the blender that is the Mortal Kombat tournament before even the most devoted of MK fans dream of pastures new.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 will be missing cross-play when it releases on September 19.
]]>Nvidia typically releases day-one drivers for the biggest games on PC to coincide with their launch, and offer GeForce GPU owners the best experience at release. However, new drivers for Starfield have been conspicuously absent.
]]>Netherealm Studios has finally given us a look at how Jean-Claude Van Damme will appear as the fighter Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 1.
]]>Nitara has been announced as the latest character for Mortal Kombat 1 - and she's voiced by Megan Fox no less! The vampiric fighter originally joined the Mortal Kombat cast back in the 3D era of games and has received a major makeover, with the voice behind the character being from the star of beloved vampire flick Jennifer's Body to boot!
]]>A new Mortal Kombat 1 launch trailer has released, with MCU and WWE star Dave Bautista bringing folks to the street to yell Mortal Kombat, in reference to the famous Mortal Kombat trailer from all the way back in 1995.
]]>Mortal Kombat 1 devleoper NetherRealm is not just happy to deliver bone-crushing new trailers that reveal more of the game's roster, it's also lifting the veil off one mysterious feature that's been under wraps since the game was announced.
]]>Shao Kahn, Sindel, Montaro and Shujinko are joining the cast of characters in Mortal Kombat 1, as we now know thanks to a trailer shown off at Gamescom Opening Night Live.
]]>
