GTA 6 is not being made by the same Rockstar that made GTA 5 | Microcast

I'm not usually a big crafting-survival game guy but Nightingale has me intrigued, both for its premise—neo-Victorian explorers plunging through portals to investigate dangerous otherworldly realms—and its pedigree: Developer Inflexion Games is headed up by former BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn, and has a number of other BioWare veterans on staff. After a handful of delays, it's now set to launch into early access in February, and ahead of that the studio is planning an open server stress test.

GTA 6 trailer: Anticipation for what may be the biggest game of the decade, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s Grand Theft Auto VI, is dominating social media. A post on X, formerly known as Twitter, announcing an upcoming trailer received 30 million views in just two hours.

Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release date is finally upon us, as confirmed by Rockstar Games via a tweet. The first footage from the highly-anticipated crime odyssey sequel will be out on Tuesday, December 5, at 7:30pm IST in India/ 9am ET in the US, with the publisher only posting an image of a sunset and palm tree silhouettes — confirming previous claims that it's set in a fictionalised version of Miami, which franchise veterans might recognise as a return to Vice City. With that, it is clear that Geoff Keighley won't be presenting the trailer at The Game Awards 2023, though a teaser or some screenshot drops are always possible.

Not many games have a story like Indika, a game about a 19th century Russian Orthodox nun journeying to the centre of her soul with an «unusual, horn-headed companion.» Drawing inspiration from Dostoevsky and Bulgakov and dripping with dark humour, Indika tells a tale of religion and authority, madness and belief. But also, not many games have a story like Indika, whose developer Odd Meter left Russia when the country invaded Ukraine in February last year. Calling the invasion an «insane crime» perpetrated to «satisfy the ambitions of an elderly, weak-minded dwarf,» game director and studio founder Dmitry Svetlow decided to up and move Indika's development—and the company behind it—out of Moscow to neighbouring Kazakhstan, even moving the «entire recording studio by truck.» And both of those stories make it, for me, one of the most fascinating games to grace this year's PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted.

Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition is officially set to launch in early 2024. Ubisoft made the announcement after accidentally leaking the whole game itself, but the company says you shouldn't let the questionable state of that leaked build color your expectations for the final product.

Not all Black Friday deals are built equally - and we often get a hint that some might be worse than others months in advance. Back in October Amazon held its Big Deal Days event, marking the second Prime-exclusive sale of the year. As always, it sparked loads of other retailers to join in the fun and do a dress rehearsal for Black Friday, and while scouring the shelves, I noticed that Xbox gamers weren't getting the best value for money they could.

The Nintendo Switch OLED hasn't been quite as stubborn as the standard edition was when it comes to discounts. However, it took this week's Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals to fully knock the value of the console down to unprecedented levels. Yes, we've seen the odd $10 discount in the US or £289 sale price in the UK, but 2023's holiday offers are taking things to a whole other level right now - and I'm not talking about the Super Smash Bros. bundle. 

Hogwarts Legacy has become one of the biggest games of 2023 and it's thanks in part to the recently released Nintendo Switch version.

Back in 2021, it was announced that Knights of the Old Republic would be getting an official remake, with plans to release it on PC and PS5. However, things have not been going swimmingly for KOTOR‘s return, and if you’ve clicked on this headline, you already know where this is going.

Rockstar Games will officially debut Grand Theft Auto 6’s announcement trailer in early December, and ahead of that long-awaited moment, it seems the company is making some significant changes to its online infrastructure. More specifically, it looks like the long-running Social Club platform is being put to rest.

It’s more bad news for Knights of the Old Republic fans patiently awaiting the remake of the classic Star Wars game, as reports emerge that the game is no longer in active development.

Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind the first-person shooter Apex Legends, is warning players to hold off unlinking their PlayApex accounts as cross-progression rollouts occur.
