We’ve played plenty of games set on a post-cataclysmic Earth, so there’s something refreshing about getting to experience one that takes place mid-apocalypse. From the creative team behind World In Conflict and The Division comes Exoborne, a game whose multiplayer action is lent a dose of chaos by extreme weather.
Essentially a shooter set inside a disaster movie, it’s a world where The Day After Tomorrow has been brought forward to today – the result of megacorporation Rebirth’s profiteering attempts to deal with the climate crisis, which have instead caused a catastrophic event named the Collapse.
Among the survivors that remain on the storm-lashed planet, the Exoborne are thriving. Sporting armoured exoskeletons (exo-rigs in the game’s parlance), they battle one another in matches redolent of extraction-shooter greats such as Hunt: Showdown and Escape From Tarkov. If these customisable rigs help set Exoborne apart from its peers, however, it’s the unpredictable nature of, well, Mother Nature that is its biggest distinguishing feature.
“Best-laid plans are not going to work in this game,” says Sharkmob’s Martin Hultberg, “Something always forces you to react and adapt.” With your rig’s traversal capabilities as important as its arsenal, then, you might want to trade a little offensive power for a grappling hook that allows you to navigate more effectively in such extreme conditions.
There’s plenty more to whet your appetite in our comprehensive Exoborne feature – and, for that matter, in the rest of the issue. We’re granted an audience with the ever-ebullient Ikumi Nakamura, who has been grappling with a very different set of challenges at her new ‘borderless’ studio Unseen. At a time of unprecedented industry layoffs, four solo developers outline the pros and cons of going it alone, while Polish dev Fool’s Theory explains how it has managed to punch above its weight in Studio Profile. Two swan songs are the subject of our Making Of… and Time Extend features, as we talk to the team behind Halo Wars and reflect on Harmonix’s extended encore for the plastic-instrument era, Rock Band 4.
In Hype, we have previews of Once Human, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Thrasher and Darkweb Streamer, while our review section includes verdicts on Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown, Another Code: Recollection, Go Mecha Ball and Home Safety Hotline. All this and much more can be found in the new issue of Edge, on sale now.

A reliable leaker has claimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 (or Super Nintendo Switch, whatever you want to call it) will have backwards compatibility with OG Switch games, whether they're physical or digital.
Currently, only Samsung and Google offer the longest software support for their flagships, which is seven years. OnePlus might receive praise for the clean UI it brings to its handsets, but it will likely be questioned as to why it does not follow the same approach as the two other companies, to which the Chinese firm’s President has an adequate reply. He believes rolling out software updates for seven years is pointless if the hardware cannot deliver the same experience.

Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 has been shattering records even before its launch. The GTA 6 trailer, which was published on December 4, broke the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video, overtaking the previous record of YouTuber Mr Beast. Although the trailer did not delve into the specifics, it offered a first glimpse into the world of GTA 6, its setting, some gameplay elements and characters. The GTA 6 trailer reveal has only added fuel to the fire and has reignited the GTA 6 community which is now working on creating a potential GTA 6 world map. In the midst of all this, the GTA 6 map might have just been leaked by a Rockstar employee himself!
Bloodborne Kart is a fan game which aims to use From Software's gothic horror action RPG as the basis for a PSone-era kart racer. Or it was. Its developers say that Sony have been in touch and, as a consequence, "need to scrub the branding off." It'll stil come out after it a short delay, but it won't be called Bloodborne Kart anymore.
Now see here Ollie Toms, supposed guides editor of this supposed videogames website - if Enshrouded really does have "the best building system in the survival genre" then why does the floor of my hovel look like a petrified sneeze? I was innocently carving myself a nice stone foundation last night when the Devil jogged my elbow and I dug a massive, raggedy trench straight through it. I've spent an hour now trying to fill in the trench and flatten it out, to no avail. There's always a jaggedy bit right in the middle, and I'm getting displaced trypophobia from the awareness that my efforts have seeded the terrain beneath with random cavities.
