Atari Buys Studio That Makes Very Good Atari Games And Remasters

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is juggling an impossible number of balls. In one fell swoop it’s aiming to remake the original’s shattering second act, continue where its 2020 predecessor ended, and set up an inevitable third game. But to make the burden bearable, the game’s development team is turning to a classic Star Wars sequel for some inspiration: The Empire Strikes Back. 

Developer Hexworks has released a new major update for its Souls-styled action RPG Lords of the Fallen. The update brings a host of changes to the game, including tweaks to how some of its bsos fights work, as well as general updates to improve the performance of the game.

Steam Deck (original) | 64GB SSD | $349 at SteamThe Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh but the original version is still pretty much the archetype of what a handheld PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the most recent model so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well, and while the 64GB storage is rather small, SSD upgrades like the Sabrent 2230 512GB are at a great price for a straightforward upgrade. It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it demands respect.

FaZe Clan has added new trophy to its collection. The esports and lifestyle organization is the first gaming brand to reach over 10 billion views on GIF-sharing platform, Giphy.

ARK: Survival Ascended has entered early access, and the developers at Studio Wildcard have outdone themselves on this iteration of the original game while still being very much Studio Wildcard. From the stunning visuals to the improved systems, ARK: Survival Ascended would be a complete joy to play for fans of the original, if not for a mix of issues.

The Transcend Fund is announcing the closing of its second seed fund of nearly $60 million to invest in games and digital entertainment.

You might have heard of the "horseshoe theory" in political science, which holds that far-left and far-right groups are actually closer to one another in terms of values and objectives than the political centre, coming together like the prongs of a horseshoe. I would like to propose an analogous theory for horror games and cute games whereby past a certain point of cuteness, the videogame in question teeters over dramatically into dread and nausea.
