Sea of Thieves’ sixth season of content might be well reaching its end point, but developer Rare still has a little something up is sleeve before Season 7 arrives, and it’s now inviting clue hunters to get stuck into a new “multi-channel narrative experience” it’s calling Mysteries. Mysteries were originally discussed back in January, when Rare laid out its plans for Sea of Thieves in 2022. The big gambit this year, if you’re unaware, is an ongoing, season-spanning narrative that will progress across monthly in-game story episodes known as Adventures. It’s a promising idea that so far doesn’t really seem…
EA has announced two new small-scale Kit expansions for The Sims 4 – one themed around evening fashion, the other around camping for kids – with both due to release on 26th May. Astute readers may note the word werewolf is yet to feature, despite previous teases from EA, but there’s still some hope it seems… The first of EA’s newly announced expansions is the Moonlight Chic Kit, which appears to primarily focus its attention on new clothing options for your little digital pals, offering up new looks, designed by Parisian creator Paola Locatelli, said to be “perfect for all…
Ben Brode, the charismatic former boss of Blizzard’s card battler Hearthstone, has finally revealed his new project. It’s called Marvel Snap, and is a new multiplayer collectible card game filled with comic book characters. Brode quit Blizzard back in 2018, after more than 15 years at the company, and before its more recent troubles became public. Alongside others who had worked with him to launch Hearthstone, Brode went on to found his own studio, Second Dinner, which has been working on Marvel Snap ever since with Chinese outfit Nuverse, the gaming arm of TikTok owner Bytedance. Snap’s focus is on…

Attorney general Letitia James announced the investigation last night, in response to the attack which killed 10 people and wounded three more.

Before the attack took place, he had posted numerous messages discussing and promoting his plans via Discord, as well as on the notorious imageboards 4chan and 8chan.

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees isn’t a long game – it’s about an hour long with the option of playing on after – and it isn’t a complicated game either. I like to think of it as an endless swinger, in 2D. In the game, you are a gibbon and you hold down a button to swing and then release it to move through the air and keep your flow of momentum going. That’s it, really. There aren’t any objectives beyond travelling to the end of a level, nor is there any reading to do, so everything the game says, it…
This piece contains spoilers for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I read my first Agatha Christie book over the weekend – The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, which I gather is actually a pretty stupid place to start as it’s seen as being one of her best. Where to go from there? I wanted to read a bit of Christie in part because we’d just binged the cheerful pantomime of the Branagh films. Mostly, though, I think something had been put into my head when I read Stuart Turton’s luminous mystery, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, a few years back.…
Amanita Design – the developer behind the acclaimed likes of Samorost, Machinarium, Creaks, and last year’s surreal horror Happy Games – has unveiled its latest project: “hand-crafted” dystopian adventure Phonopolis.Phonopolis, which makes use of actual corrugated cardboard sets and a 12fps stop-motion animation style inspired by classic animated films, casts players as Felix, a thoughtful young man who must try and stop the titular city’s authoritarian leader from playing the Absolute tone – an occurrence that would effectively cause Felix and his fellow citizens to lose their humanity.What follows is a story-driven puzzle adventure encompassing “relatable, real-world themes”, including manipulation…
