Creator In The Casting of Frank Stone, the interactive horror movie expert wants us to be dead by daytime when in the past Supermassive Games dared us to live until sunrise. The goal of this narrative-driven spin-off of the well-liked asymmetric multiplayer sneak-and-slash action game is to provide a deeper understanding of the history of The Entity, the evil force behind all evil in the Dead by Daylight universe. But aged, rapid-fire event-heavy gameplay, terribly shallow fighting, a flat cast of characters, and a total lack of scares combine to create a six-hour boredom that is hardly worth sticking up…
Not many ideas are more enticing right away than Squirrel with a Gun. A sandbox game in which you take control of a rodent with a rifle and terrorize the local populace? Sure, please! And to some extent, that idea does live up to expectations; there are plenty of belly-laugh-inducing moments early on, and the silly adventure’s first few hours are full of fun. However, rather than sitting on a mound of hilarious acorns, this bizarre Sciuridae emulator stuffs its cheeks with absurd jokes all at once, only to discover that its stocks are depleted as winter draws near. That…
Just over a year after its worldwide release, Warner Bros. Games has announced the closing of Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, a mobile game.

In the game, you take on the role of a freshman at Hogwarts and gather cards to use as spells during battles. On August 26, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened was taken down from the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. The servers will remain operational until October…
You might get a sense of Concord if you take a copy of Overwatch from a dusty GameStop shelf and place it beneath Peter Quill’s stinky armpit from Guardians of the Galaxy. This sci-fi competitor from Sony plays it fairly safe when it comes to competitive hero shooters. It features instantly endearing characters rendered in breathtakingly gorgeous cutscenes and ability-based PvP combat that never addresses why those characters are fighting one another when they are allies in those same cutscenes. But, Concord is still enjoyable to play even if it doesn’t provide much in the way of novelty. I’ve played…
Which would you choose—an 11-foot-tall, methanol-powered beast that can backflip, or a stainless steel Tesla triangle that wants to eat your fingers—if you were looking for an absurdly large, American truck that does not run on conventional fuel and looks ridiculous? I am not sure which one I would pick. If my loved ones are going to make fun of me for having a vehicle that does not look very serious, it will be because it is outfitted like a creepy pirate. A similar amount of devotion is given to these five-ton doofuses shaped like dinosaurs and dogs in Monster…

Many features have previously been confirmed by the developer, Grinding Gear Games, including cross-progression and couch co-op. The PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC will be able to play Path of…
Remedy Entertainment, the company behind Alan Wake’s Control 2, has put the game in the “production preparation stage.” Meanwhile, Max Payne 1 & 2’s remake and the Control multiplayer spin-off are currently in full production. In its most recent quarterly earnings report, Remedy disclosed the development, stating that Control 2 had “passed the proof of concept stage and has moved to the production-ready stage.” Max Payne 1 & 2 has now entered full production 10 months after it achieved the same “production ready level,” albeit no additional timeframe was disclosed. According to this, Control 2 will start full production in…
On August 29, 2024, the indie hit game Vampire Survivors will finally launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. In the somewhat absurd clip below, developer Poncle revealed the release date and promised at least 13.5 hours of gameplay and 500,000 texture-mapped garlic balls for the price of a peri-peri chicken wrap. With rogue-lite features, Vampire Survivors is a fast-paced, extravagant gothic horror game where your decisions can swiftly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that are flung at you. What started as a little independent game on Steam took off in popularity and quickly became one of the…

The convention usually brings big news and announcements from numerous ZeniMax Media IPs.
