The Callisto Protocol, which was officially unveiled back in December 2020, is a third-person horror game set in 2320. Its action unfolds within the confines of the Black Iron prison colony on Jupiter’s moon Callisto, and - needless to say - suffocating terror and “terrifying secrets” ensue. We’ve only seen a single cinematic of The Callisto Protocol since its intriguing 2020 reveal, so it’s nice to finally, properly see the thing in action courtesy of its brand-new release date trailer - which includes a smattering of gameplay - below....

Developed by The Chinese Room, the studio behind Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Little Orpheus featured a Russian rocket pilot in a humorous adventure. Understandably, Secret Mode has decided now is not the time for the game to arrive. No new release date has been set. “In light of recent world events, today’s PC and console launch for Little Orpheus will be delayed,” Secret Room wrote. “While Little Orpheus was originally released on Apple Arcade in June 2020 and does not directly reference recent world events, we recognise some of the game’s themes and content may be upsetting to players at this time....

This news follows a recent tease from creator Hideo Kojima, that showed a blanked out visage with the words “How come?” written across it. Many guessed this face was that of Léa Seydoux, and they were right as she is very much front and centre of Death Stranding 2’s (or DS2’s) announcement trailer, which you can see below. Joining Seydoux are actors Norman Reedus (who previously let slip that the game was in development), Troy Baker, Elle Fanning and Shioli Kutsuna....

Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida stopped short of detailing what they’ll contain and when, exactly, we’ll be able to play them, although he did confirm the roguelike adventures will arrive sometime with the 6.0 series of patch updates, the first of which we’re expecting in the next month or two. Confirmation came via Yoshida himself at the recent FFXIV Fan Festival in Korea over the weekend, who said he’d heard so “many people around the world wanted more deep dungeons”, the team was bringing back a series....

This can be sourced across the solar system, from matchmade playlists to certain patrol activities. With the Silver Leaves you have collected, you can transform them into Silver Ash for upgrading Candescent Armour, or for purchasing new pieces from Eva Levante for new stat roll attempts. By learning how to farm Silver Leaves effectively, you can maximise your returns from the event. On this page: How to get Silver Leaves and Silver Ash in Destiny 2 Silver Leaves and Silver Ash are linked resources during the Solstice 2022 event, where you earn Silver Leaves from activity completions, then turn Silver Leaves into Silver Ash by completing the Bonfire Bash activity....

Diablo Immortal brings six classic classes for you to choose from and, although all of them work pretty well, you better pick a class that is easier so you can learn more about the game. While a few of them are more resistant to damage so your mistakes won’t cost your character’s life, others demand a certain level of proficiency with the class, focusing on creating combos and tracking cooldowns....

In a hefty post, the EA developer identified five main areas of map design that needs improvement. First, the team acknowledged that much of the community is frustrated with traversal as it currently stands. With the introduction of large-scale maps to accommodate 128 players, the travel time between objectives became overly lengthy. Indeed, DICE went as far as to admit that many players describe the game a “Walking Simulator”. Second, DICE will be looking at the overall intensity....

Speculation has been rife regarding a follow-up to the well-regarded 2012 game for some time, only exacerbated by Capcom’s decision to host a tenth anniversary livestream for the not exactly blockbuster title. It was in this retrospective livestream that Capcom’s long-awaited announcement was finally made, with series director Hideaki Itsuno revealing that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is currently in development by whipping off his jacket to reveal a t-shirt emblazoned with the sequel’s logo....

That decision, if made, would plunge a swathe of US states into a situation where legal abortion was once again largely unavailable - and it’s a situation several US-based game companies have spoken out about. EA, as with the majority of companies, has not. Nor has it publicly made a specific statement on legal issues threatening transgender rights, which are ongoing in several states. Now, speaking via a town hall meeting leaked to Kotaku, its chief people officer Mala Singh was asked why....

The Create-A-Sims outfits and accessories are inspired by the vibrancy of Brazil’s Carnaval event and street parties, as well as Vittar’s own sense of style. Vittar has also recorded her 2019 single, Buzina, in Simlish, which will feature in The Sims 4 Carnaval radio station. The celebration will begin on 3rd February. A Sims Delivery Express Base Game update with Brazilian food and a mask are also due, with a follow up in March including art by Brazilian artist Lano....

On 31st May, EA announced the removal of Need for Speed Carbon (2006), Need for Speed Undercover (2008), Need for Speed Shift (2009), Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed (2011) and Need for Speed The Run (2011) from digital storefronts. In-game stores have also closed. EA said this move, which was announced and implemented on the same day, is in “preparation” for the “retirement” of the online services for these games, which is set for 31st August....

Codemasters currently has numerous racing franchises on its books including F1, WRC, Dirt, Grid and Project Cars. EA, meanwhile, has Need for Speed, Burnout and Real Racing. Explaining why it was interested in Codemasters to investors last night, EA said the studio would help EA become the “global leader in racing entertainment”, with the ability to leverage the British developer’s game teams, technology and IP. Codemasters’ games were a “natural fit” with “clear opportunities” for its EA Sports portfolio, EA added....

“We continue to be shocked at the conflict that is unfolding in Ukraine,” the publisher wrote in a statement on EA’s website, “and join so many voices around the world in calling for peace and an end to the invasion. We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.” “Our primary concern is the ongoing safety of those in the region, particularly colleagues and partners,” it continued, “and we are seeking to understand how we might best help them further beyond our programs that are already in place....

This means, effective immediately, players and teams from Russia and Belarus will be unable to participate in the Apex Legends Global Series and the FIFA 22 Global Series. Earlier this month, the publisher announced it would stop all sales of games and content, including virtual currency bundles, in Russia and its ally Belarus while Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues. EA also stopped selling Russian items in FIFA Ultimate Team, including players from Russian clubs, kits from Russian clubs, stadium items from Russian clubs and the national team, and managers from the Russian Premier League....

EA Sports PGA Tour - the publisher’s first foray into golfing sims since 2015’s Rory McIlroy PGA Tour - was officially unveiled back in March last year, promising to deliver world famous golf courses and professional golfers as part of a long-term deal with the PGA Tour. One year-long delay later, EA Sports PGA Tour is shuffling ever-closer to release, and EA’s first major reveal for the game comes in the form of a 30-second teaser trailer....

PSA: the following article contains spoilers for Elden Ring, so if you are still making your way through the Lands Between and have yet to get to Wailing Dunes, this is your cue to find a different article to while away the time with. So, to the matter in hand. It turns out you can actually cheese the boss fight with Elden Ring’s mighty General Radahn. At least, you can cheese it once you get his health whittled down to 50 percent, which is admittedly still a task in its own right....

The Leonine Misbegotten can be found right near the southern edge of the entire map of The Lands Between, just south of Castle Morne on the coast. Taking down the Leonine Misbegotten by yourself isn’t an easy feat, so you might want to turn to a player companion via a summon, or use a spirit ash summon. On this page: Whether you use a Furled Finger or not, there’s an AI summoning sign in gold writing immediately outside the entrance to the boss arena, and we’d very much recommend you summoning them for the coming battle....

That’s why one modder has taken matters into their own hands and taken drastic measures: chopping down the Erdtree. For the unfamiliar, the Ertree is the giant golden tree that not only dominates the world with its shimmering branches, but dominates the narrative and the lives of the inhabitants in The Lands Between. Watch on YouTube Elden Ring Lore: Godrick the Grafted & Godfrey The First Elden Lord Explained Removing the Erdtree is pretty serious business, then....

Yes, there might not have been so many big ticket titles, and yes we’re having to wait until next year for the likes of Breath of the Wild’s sequel, Starfield, Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West, but we’ve not been short of crowd pleasing headliners. For those who like to leaf through turn-of-the-century issues of Edge and believe the golden age of gaming was the early noughties - hello, welcome to the club, take a seat and sorry about the smell - we had the triumphant return of both Samus Aran and the Master Chief....

ONL kicked off with a new trailer for Everywhere, the next game from the studio founded by Leslie Benzies, ex-boss of Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar North. It looks a bit Fortnite, a bit Roblox, a bit… metaverse? Everywhere should be out at some point in 2023. Moving on! Level Infinite announced Dune Awakening, an open world survival MMO in the works at Funcom. The cinematic trailer is below. Sony announced the DualSense Edge wireless controller, a customisable controller for PlayStation 5....
