V Rising confirmed it would reach 1.0 on May 8th just a couple of weeks ago, delivering changes to the survival action RPG's PvP and endgame.

Star Drifters has released a gameplay overview trailer for open-world survival action RPG First Dwarf.

Outward 2 picks up 50 years after the events of the first open-world survival RPG; developer Nine Dots tells me that “The difference in production value is significant.” Again, you’ll play a nobody of an adventurer, just a regular ol’ human against a world rife with danger.

The first big Enshrouded update is finally out, and among many, many changes, its biggest addition are challenging new dungeons that you'll find in every Biome.

Stunlock Studios and Konami have revealed that the survival crafting game V Rising will feature Castlevania crossover content when it leaves early access this May.

Palworld could be getting dedicated servers sooner than expected for Xbox players, thanks to Tencent.

Two Tencent-owned studios are reportedly creating games to rival smash-hit survival game Palworld.

Palworld was a runaway success for developer Pocketpair, quickly becoming one of Steam's most-played games of all time, hitting a peak of over two million players. While its virality has died down, currently at a much lower 24-hour peak of 85,000, it's still going strong, and other developers are taking note. Cue Tencent.

Back in January, the indie horror game The Night is Grey released after a grueling seven-year development process that just barely survived the dedication to frame-by-frame character animation, and despite positive reviews, it's still struggling to find an audience at the time of publication.

Things just got a whole lot egg-exciting (and eggs-traordinarily challenging) with the new 2 Minutes in Space Easter Update.

If I were to write a list of all the things that made Skyrim special, it’d be as long as The Elder Scrolls themselves. Considering that’s a massive waste of parchment, I can boil Skyrim’s magic down to one word: dragons. Few games have recaptured the thrill of Tamriel’s wyrms crashing down from the sky to interrupt an otherwise run-of-the-mill fetch quest. But I’ve got good news: that very same sense of awe, terror, and excitement fuels Dragon’s Dogma 2, a game where a towering cyclops can unexpectedly emerge from the forest’s edge, or a terrifying drake swoop down from on high, all in unscripted, emergent moments.

The studio behind Days Gone is now working on a “AAA live service game”, according to a new job listing.

It's a brand new week in Computer Game Land, and right now, I am playing a nasty little survival sim called "Beating Jetlag". I landed back in the UK from GDC on Saturday afternoon, and my brain and eyeballs still feel as though they're being gently sautéed in a medicinal blend of oil and vinegar. The sun and sky bear down with a terrible, holy light and I can't seem to conjure any warmth into my elbows. In the street outside, a small dog is barking. Soon, very soon, I will catch that dog, place it in a box and FedEx it to China.

There’s nothing quite like a good ol’ horror game to get the blood pumping. While the majority of games out there pivot around the idea of empowering the player with a growing assortment of weapons and abilities with which to overcome enemies and obstacles, a good horror game is all about tipping the scales of any scenario to put you at a disadvantage against the many terrors that go bump in the night.

The fastest way to get Renown in Plunderstorm is to kill other players, and win. But what if you're like me: A big scaredy cat who's terrible at PVP? I maxed out my Keg Leg's Crew Renown days after Plunderstorm was released without winning once. More importantly, I enjoyed myself while I did it. So here are some of the best strategies to earn Renown even if you can't survive most fights to save, well, your life. On average, I make 400-800 Renown a match. Sometimes if I'm lucky, I make over 1000. On more than one occasion, I've even reached level 9 and made over 1000 Renown — once even making it all the way to second place — without defeating another player in the entire match. Obviously this is nowhere close to the 3000+ Renown you can make from winning a match, but if you don't enjoy, or aren't good at, PVP, that doesn't mean you have to slowly chip away at 40 levels a tiny bit at a time.

A creative Palworld player has paid homage to the sitcom Friends by placing a sofa and a water fountain in their base. Palworld has become one of the most popular game releases of the year by bringing players a survival game where the core experience is catching the monsters known as Pals. But Palworld goes beyond completing the Paldeck, entertaining players in other ways.

Shinji Mikami, one of the original creators of Resident Evil, has recently founded a new company under the name Kamuy Inc.

He's currently working with Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. on Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes an unorthodox approach with many of its gameplay systems, from its reliance on slow travel to its loss gauge system that punishes players for dying repeatedly. Another aspect of Capcom’s game that’s similarly onerous is it save system. Dragon’s Dogma 2 bucks tradition when it comes to player choice concerning saves — there’s no save scumming in this role-playing game.

The Will Smith-fronted zombie survival video game Undawn bombed, according to a new report.

Without Alone in the Dark, quite simply, there is no survival horror as we know it today. Way back in 1992, when the original game led us down the haunted hallways of the Derceto mansion for the first time, the impact that ill-fated journey would have on the landscape of video games could not have been fully understood.

Helldivers 2 offers more than its fair share of chaotic situations as you valiantly fight to defend Managed Democracy against never-ending waves of bugs and robots, but one player has taken things to a whole new level.

There’s something in the gaming waters right now in terms of remaking classic games. While 2024’s Alone in the Dark isn’t the first remake of the seminal 1992 game that inspired the survival horror genre, it’s by far the most high profile. The protagonists Detective Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood bear the likenesses and voices of actors David Harbour and Jodie Comer respectively, adding a distinct Hollywood flavor to this game that feels like it should be an HBO series.

Fallout, the new TV show based on the game series (also called Fallout), will be a show about a lot of things: post-apocalyptic survival, weird nuclear creatures, old-timey music, and, as Fallout co-showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet has said, factionalism. Nowhere is that clearer than the new preview scene Prime Video dropped ahead of the show’s April 12 premiere.

Ready yourselves for pirates, magic, and mayhem when you plunge into Plunderstorm—a fun, new, pirate-themed event of prodigious proportions!

It’s been more than 30 years since the original Alone in the Dark made its debut, and now we’re coming full circle with the game that helped define the survival horror genre. Clearly having an influence on  Resident Evil with its puzzles, weight management system and overall creepy theme, the remake of Alone in the Dark has definitely borrowed a few things from more recent games in Capcom’s series. Unfortunately, Alone in the Dark can’t decide what it truly wants to be and falls a little flat by the time it wraps everything up.
