Pokémon Go waited until the eclipse to announce Necrozma's arrival

Players who previously redeemed the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4 will have to wait a little longer for its free next-gen upgrade, Bethesda says.

An independent UK developer says it’s been forced to announce and postpone its game on the same day, and lay off more than half of its staff, due to the sharp downturn in investment in the games industry.

You might think after more than a quarter of a century, Pokemon is running out of crossover ideas. You might also think that the out-there crossovers it does come with might not hit as hard as they used to. Wrong on both counts. Pokemon teamed up with the Netherlands' Van Gogh Museum in 2023, and the products available through it, particularly the Grey Felt Hat Pikachu promo card, caused a miniature riot in the museum's gift shop.

Horizon Forbidden West AMD FSR 3.1 support is coming, but porting studio Nixxes has said that it's "sort of" waiting on AMD.

Eevee is a highly popular Pokémon in and the wider Pokémon franchise. Unlike other Pokémon, Eevee can evolve into one of eight different evolutions: Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Sylveon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, or Glaceon. Each of these evolutions transforms from a Normal-type to an Electric, Water, Fire, Fairy, Psychic, Dark, Grass, or Ice-type, respectively.

The prodigal Prince has returned, and his comeback has gone down so well that he is doing it a second time. After his Metroidvania adventures in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which came out in January, gaming's iconic dual-blade wielding royalty is coming back for seconds in The Rogue Prince of Persia, a new 2D action-platforming rogue-lite title, arriving in Early Access on Steam on May 14. Developed by Dead Cells maker Evil Empire and published by Ubisoft, the next Prince of Persia game flaunts a colourful, cartoony art style and features platforming and action combat familiar to the series.

Poncle has announced plans to release Vampire Survivors for PlayStation consoles, as well as new Contra-themed DLC for the game.

Publisher Ubisoft and developer Evil Empire have announced The Rogue Prince of Persia for PC (Steam). It will launch in Early Access on My 14.

Amidst the glut of video game showcases from large publishers and Summer Game Fest, the Triple-i Initiative is trying something a bit different. This collective of top indie developers includes Evil Empire (Dead Cells DLC), Thunder Lotus Games (Spiritfarer), Mega Crit (Slay the Spire), and many more, who all gathered together to show off what they’re calling “iii games” — or “blockbuster indie titles.”

If you ever thought the likes of Pokemon Stadium needed more guns, then I have to say that's oddly specific, but the hit survival game Palword is serving up what you're looking for. 

Dicefolk, a highly rated creature collector roguelike, is coming soon to the Nintendo Switch, where it's looking to find a new audience after quickly racking up great reviews on Steam. Games that market themselves as new approaches to the Pokemon formula are starting to sprout up more and more as they seemingly try to replicate the success of Palworld from earlier this year.

Yesterday was a sad day for 3DS and Wii U players as the online services went down for both of them. This is something that sadly happens with each console as they get older and age, especially with Nintendo – it just seems to always happen way too soon. With the Nintendo Switch already almost a decade old, we knew we’d watch the other consoles fall before a new one could go live, hopefully in 2025.
