Hopoo Games’ first stab at Risk of Rain released in 2013, delivering a breathless blast of 2D co-op action pitting players against an ever-more-relentless parade of enemies in an increasingly hilarious ballet of bullets and chaos. Its acclaimed sequel, which took the whole thing into glorious 3D, released into Steam early access in 2019, and proved hugely popular, selling 3m copies before the year was through.…
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Ubisoft’s much-loved (but distressingly absent) Splinter Cell series, and to mark the occasion the publisher has shared a smattering of concept art for its upcoming – but still “very early” in development – remake. All this comes via a special 20th anniversary developer roundtable video, culminating in a look at the future of the franchise.

Speaking to IndieWire, Leguizamo recalled how his directors Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton “fought really hard for [him] to be the lead because [he] was a Latin man”. The actor stated that the studio had not initially wanted him to be a lead, but the directors’ push to cast him eventually worked – something Leguizamo called “such a breakthrough” for the industry.

It has, somehow, been a full year since Battlefield 2042 launched, and while it’d be premature to say DICE’s shooter has bounced back from a disastrous launch it’s certainly on firmer ground than it’s been for a while. The belated launch of Season One in June was a small step in the right direction, while August’s Season Two took bigger, bolder strides.

What’s most promising is the influx of players that should come as Battlefield 2042 hits Game Pass and EA Play, hopefully…
