2K has announced Project Ethos, a new “3rd-person roguelike hero shooter” – yep, here’s another one of those – from 31st Union, the studio headed up by Michael Condrey, the co-founder of Call of Duty studio Sledgehammer Games that didn’t do The Callisto Protocol.If you need a quick refresher, before forming 31st Union in February 2019, Condrey worked on a string of CoD titles that proved to be hits at Sledgehammer, so he’s bringing plenty of shooter pedigree to this project.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings If you look through the screenshots and footage, because it’s, you know, a hero shooter, I very much cannot promise you that you won’t have Overwatch’s Tracer saying ‘Cavalry’s ‘ere’ going through your brain on repeat, or end up thinking about th…
Read moreIt’s been a little bit of time since Helldivers 2 players have heard much from former Arrowhead CEO and still very much chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt, with the developer seemigly having enjoyed some very well-earned time off. Now, however, he’s made a bit of a return in rather grand fashion, by answering Discord questions from everyone and their mum.Naturally, the flak the studio has faced from players following the deployment of the most recent batch of weapon balancing changes – the one Arrowhead announced that much-discussed 60-day plan of changes that it’s already acting upon in reponse to – came up, as it has in 99% of dev chats about the game over the last little while.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “It’s hard.

Read moreCyberpunk 2077 fans, it would seem, love a good board game. They love em so much, in fact, that a new official one from CD Projekt and Go On Board – inventively dubbed Cyberpunk 2077: The Board Game – has not only surpassed the $100,000 crowdfunding goal its campaign launched with today, it’s raised over 10x that much cash.As a number of CD Projekt devs have pointed out, it took only 10 minutes and 4 seconds for the board game to raise that $100k, which is pretty damn impressive, and, as of writing, the total now sits at a cool $1,017,379.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings That’s over 1,000% of the funding goal – a concept which is breaking my brain a bit – from just over 6,300 backers.

Read moreIt looks like Marvel has finally found a director for Spider-Man 4 in a familiar face – Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton.There’s long been talk of a potential Spider-Man 4, including from the current incarnation of the character Tom Holland himself, but not much has been set in stone for it so far. That appears to be changing though, as The Hollywood Reporter shared yesterday that Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton is currently in talks to direct Spider-Man 4. It doesn’t sound like things are 100% locked in quite yet, though this is the closest Marvel appears to have gotten with signing on a director – it was reported earlier this year that Fast & Furious director Justin Lin was being eyed-up for it, but that appears to have not worked out.To see this content please enable targe…
Read moreThere are constant questions over whether GTA 6 will be delayed, but one former Rockstar dev thinks any announcement of a delay won’t come until next year.Earlier this month, some rumours started to spread that GTA 6 had been delayed, but Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier (known for his strong reputation when it comes to insider information) says that that doesn’t seem to be the case after speaking with six employees at Rockstar – though he did also make it clear that these devs haven’t been informed of a delay, meaning one could still be coming, but right now it doesn’t seem to be happening. Of course, with all this talk of delays, it’s still on the minds of a lot of players eager to jump into what is probably the most anticipated sequel of the decade.To see this content please enable targeting …

Read moreEpic Games is still working on its own mobile storefront, and whenever it does launch, it’ll be continuing its free games program there too.Since 2018, Fortnite developer Epic Games has run its own digital storefront for PC games, though there’s definitely been some bumps on the way. It arrived without some key features, including what you’d think are simple things like wishlisting, but it’s generally in a functional state these days. Over the years, though, in an effort to entice more players over to its side of the pond, Epic has been giving away a new free game every week, occasionally giving away some pretty big titles. And now, as reported by mobilegamer.biz, Epic looks to be trying that once more with its mobile storefront.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage co…
