Who saw this coming? As a self-contained spin-off to the Borderlands series, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands takes one of the more charming characters from its universe and invites us on a dungeons and dragons-style detour. The idea is undeniably cute. Think of Borderlands’ FPS mechanics as seen through the lens of a table-top Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and you’re on the righty track. But at its core, we’re still looking at an extension of the same Unreal Engine technology that’s at the foundation of Borderlands 3. In terms of its tech, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has a few extra twists. Unlike the…
My Time at Sandrock, the upcoming follow-up to My Time at Portia, will launch in early access via Steam and Epic Game Store on 26th May. Sandrock looks to follow a similar path to its gentle farming and life simulation predecessor, though this time set in sandier frontier-esque surroundings. You’ll need to tame the desert through cultivation of crops and construction of civic buildings, while winning over the local community and levelling up your friendships. Mining, cave exploration and combat also feature, alongside expanded customisation options for your home. Here’s a new trailer: Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content…
Tomb Raider franchise developer Crystal Dynamics has confirmed what we all rather suspected already – that it is working on the next major game in the series – and that this project will be made in Unreal Engine 5. The announcement capped off today’s Unreal Engine 5 presentation by Epic Games, which was timed alongside the engine’s general release. Unreal Engine 5 is the powerful toolset behind Epic Games’ recent The Matrix Awakens demo, and which also runs the ever-changing Fortnite.

Following confusion over the project’s future, the director of upcoming PS5 game Abandoned has spoken out about why developer Blue Box deleted various tweets about the game, the status of the game’s prologue and his own “heartbreak” about the situation now surrounding the game’s release.Speaking to IGN, Hasan Kahraman of Blue Box Game Studios said the developer had removed older tweets about the game in a bid to keep information surrounding Abandoned up to date. “Basically, the tweets were deleted because some of the concept has changed, and I figured maybe just deleting the tweet and then tweeting more relevant…
Activision Blizzard employees have taken part in a planned strike in protest at the company’s recent decision to drop its requirement that in-office staff are vaccinated. Last week, the embattled World of Warcraft and Call of Duty maker announced it would no longer require office-based staff to have had Covid jabs, while encouraging a gradual return to in-person working over the coming months. The decision, announced in an email by Activision Blizzard exec Brian Bulatao, was immediately criticised by staff who said it risked employees who may be immunocompromised or who lived with others who are, and was poorly timed…
Samsung is not just one of the most widely-known electronics companies in the world, but also one of the best. And in the UK, they currently have a spring sale on many of their products, from TVs, phones ,laptops and even home appliances such as fridge freezers.The highlight seems to be the new Galaxy S22 and S22+ available with a big £200 discount after trading in any Android phone in any condition. There are some terms and conditions to this but it seems quite generous if you’re looking to get rid of your current phone or have an older one…
Citizen Sleeper, the really promising new game by In Other Waters developer Jump Over the Age, will be released 5th May. Excitingly, it’ll be available day-one on Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. It’ll also be available on PC from a number of stores (Steam, GOG, Epic, Humble), and – this just in – Nintendo Switch. There’s no PlayStation version, sadly. I played a demo of Citizen Sleeper recently and was impressed. It’s a mash-up of a board game and an RPG. There’s a lot of descriptive text and dialogue choices, as you’d get in an…
When Kylo Ren said to let the past die, he probably wasn’t talking about those old Lego Star Wars games – the ones which already adapted the film’s original trilogy, prequels, and a chunk of the Clone Wars. But like a freshly-tweaked George Lucas special edition re-release, the Skywalker Saga does do something a bit like that. To be fair, those older games are some of the most technically outdated in developer TT Games’ portfolio. Time, console hardware and game design have all moved on, and The Skywalker Saga now stands as very different beast. After a lengthy and somewhat…
