There’s a good chance if you were trying to play your PS5 last night, you may have been hit by some server issues. There was a widespread global outage during the middle of the night in the UK, which affected the peak evening window in the United States. All of the issues were resolved within a couple of hours or so, but obviously you wouldn’t have been able to play online-only titles, like the newly released Honkai: Star Rail.

Dark fantasy Pinnochio-like Lies of P launched last month, and we really enjoyed our time with it. Now, it seems another morsel is on the way, according to a job listing from developer Neowiz itself.

Beloved Mortal Kombat 1 developer Ed Boon is teasing some intriguing additions to the latest iteration of the now-venerable fighting franchise. The current roster was already a rogue's gallery of murderers and general villainy, but these latest are comprised of some of the worst monsters in all media.

made a big splash last year, turning a colorful singleplayer comedy FPS packed with irreverent scatological sketches into an XBOX Game Pass hit download. Players traversed an open world, tangled with goopy aliens, and plundered self-referential gaming tropes in Squanch Games’ largest project to date, which still left ample space for a follow-up. is now ’s first paid DLC, offering up a new planet to explore, a few additional talking weapons and, frankly, more of the same hit-or-miss gags.

Lies of P is a Souls-like in the tradition of FromSoftware's greats, but one which has carved out a place of its own with an impressive commercial showing (we thought it was great, too). This subgenre is infamous for the exacting nature of its difficulty, but things have actually been dialled back quite substantially in the game's most recent revision.

Update: Sony says the reason the Knights of the Old Republic trailers are being removed from its YouTube and social media accounts is due to music licenses expiring.

The cancellation has been unceremoniously confirmed in the minutes of a board of directors meeting.

Publisher Private Division and developer Wētā Workshop have announced Tales of the Shire, a brand new game in the Lord of the Rings universe. Coming to PC and consoles sometime in 2024, it's described as a «heart-warming» new game all about your «cosy Hobbit life». The above new teaser trailer has just been unveiled, and certainly gives off those vibes.

The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 is slated to launch on PS5 on 24th October. A PS4 iteration was also announced but without a specific release date.
