OlliOlli World is poised to receive its second and final expansion on 2nd November – and developer Roll7 has offered a closer look at its skybound skating hijinks ahead of its arrival. Finding The Flowzone, as the new expansion is known, takes OlliOlli World’s acclaimed skating action high above Radlandia, with players roaming the clouds in a fantastical floating boat alongside the infamous Radmospheric Three – “grizzled sea-dog Captain Squid, the prim and proper Professor Planks, and the mystically inclined Christopher Licht”. Ultimately, the goal is to reach the fabled city of Radlantis, meet the legendary Gail Force, and compete…

Silent Hill is an unsettling series across the board, there’s no denying that – and the silhouette of its fan-favourite Pyramid Head is enough to induce nightmares.

Star Trek: Resurgence, the new narrative adventure from developer Dramatic Labs, will no longer release this year as originally planned and is now expected to arrive on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation in April 2023. Resurgence, which was announced at last year’s Game Awards, takes place after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, telling its story from the alternating perspectives of two different characters – First Officer Jara Rydek and Engineering Crewperson Carter Diaz – with gameplay said to consist of playable cinematic sequences.

Aurora – who performed the haunting vocal accompaniment to Idina Menzel in Frozen 2’s showstopper Into the Unknown, and whose singles include Cure for Me and Runaway – has been heard in Sky before, but she’ll play a much greater role in its latest season of content. Appropriately titled Season of Aurora, this will feature a “story told in music” where players can explore…
If you can somehow still look at your gaming backlog without being consumed by existential dread, here’s another two additions for your infinitely expanding pile: Fallout 3 – Game of the Year Edition and Evoland Legendary Edition, both free next week on the Epic Games Store.

This Monday was World Mental Health Day. Because of this, I wanted to take a moment to highlight some articles on the site that explore mental health and its relationship to games.Raising awareness about the topic of mental health in general is something I am deeping passionate about, and I have lived with mental illnesses myself for some time now. I take a variety of regular medications to help with this, and, combined with cognitive behavioural therapy, these have worked well for me and my ongoing recovery.While they aren’t designed to be therapeutic, games have often provided me with a…
