Who's in the Black Noir suit? Well, Eric Kripke already told us.

Well, this is a lovely surprise, isn't it? Chill letter writing game Kind Words was a lofi hit back in 2019, encouraging players to share over 5 million anonymous notes of support and, well, kindness since launch. Now developers Popcannibal are back with a full-blown sequel, Kind Words 2 (Lofi City Pop). You're probably thinking, 'How could they possibly have made a sequel to this perfectly formed note 'em up? Have they added emails? Carrier pigeons? Inscribing on stone tablets?' Well, as the reveal trailer below shows, it's gone for more of an Animal Crossing-style city to enjoy, letting you connect with fellow players and express your deepest feelings in new, more directed settings. That's right, it's time to get out of your bedroom and touch some virtual grass.

2023 has been dominated by an endless news cycle of widespread layoffs across the entirety of the games industry, and that is continuing even as we move into the final weeks of the year. The most recent studio to have suffered cutbacks is Codemasters, the developer of EA Sports WRC and F1 23, among many other racing games.

Even though we’ve officially known about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf being in development for nearly five years, details on BioWare’s fantasy RPG have been scant at best, though it seems the developer is finally gearing up to make changes on that front. A brief new teaser was recently released for the game, with BioWare also confirming a full reveal for Summer 2024. Additionally, the studio has also revealed some new details on some of the locations that the game’s world will feature in am accompanying blog post.

And though there are many in the free-to-play battle royale shooter’s community who’ve been hoping for an engine upgrade for a while, it doesn’t seem like that’s something that developer Respawn Entertainment is planning on.

While we wait in anticipation for Rockstar Games to drop the trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), it is difficult not to imagine what the rumored game could look like. The game is predicted to offer a generational leap in gaming, and considering how Rockstar's last game, Red Dead Redemption 2 fared, these aren't entirely wild claims to make. There have been rumors that the game can be launched between 2024 and 2025, but nothing can be said for sure. However, we do know that it is under development because of a massive leak that released a huge number of early development videos online, and subsequently, the developers made an announcement that the game was indeed being made. Today, we take a look at one of these leaks, which highlights the major changes coming to the Police AI and the wanted system in the game.

It's one of the most famous pieces of comics art ever, but have we been looking at it wrong for all these years? Yesterday Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's iconic cover for 1986's The Dark Knight Returns came under renewed scrutiny when Twitter (yes, it's still called that, at least in our world) user Kraken Kaptain (@KrakenKaptain) raised the question of if Batman is front or back facing on the cover.

Cross Blitz is a very good deckbuilding game that not only has the roguelike mode you’d expect, but also a story mode to progress through as well. The stories are heartfelt and enjoyable and tell the tales of different heroes as they journey across a brutal battle-filled world with stunning graphics and some very good writing.
