A big Guild Wars 3 embargo finally dropped this week, allowing press and previewers to reveal what’s been shown and said – but still not played – behind closed doors, raising as many questions than it answered. MOP’s own Colin got some juicy quotes out of ArenaNet’s Colin Johanson, who is...

Fight monsters. Level up. PvP with your friends. Find shiny loot. All of the usual hallmarks of an open world MMORPG are here, but the major defining feature of Stick Universe, as its name suggests, is the fact that it’s all in a 2-D world of stick people going on stick adventures...

Look at what a little scamp of a dog can do — and a whole lot of player purchases, too. World of Warcraft wrapped up a promotion where it sold enough copies of a pet named Roofus that it was able to donate $1.3 million to charity. “During the promotion, Blizzard donated 100% of the (…) Image...

The most recent patch made to BitCraft Online has something players can dig. In a rather literal sense in some ways, actually, in that several new foraging and gathering activities and updates have come for those who like to get their digital hands dirty in the mud, brush, and dirt. Some of the...

Most of the time the terms of service document is something folks gloss over in order to connect to their online game. Even so, the official servers for Conan Exiles are going to be seeing osme updates to those terms as well as its procedures and guidelines, so fans of the survivalbox may want...

While Fallout 76 has had a limited range of pets for a little while now, they’ve been grounded and kept at a player’s CAMP. That’s about to change, as Bethesda is testing “CAMPanions” who will be able to travel with you — and even attack your foes. Travel and attack pets include the dog, cat...

Hey, you know what’s an MMO we don’t talk about that often? Ryzom. This was such an odd MMO even back in the day, and in the 2020s it’s downright obscure. But it’s good to see that this virtual alien world is still kicking — and hosting its own sporting events. Drelkag brought us this (…) Image...

This weekend, Blizzard Entertainment will once again kick off its uninterrupted tribute to itself with the start of BlizzCon 2026, and there will be things happening. There will be elves. There will be blood. There may be phones, assuming you guys have them. There will be esports. If the team...

When Cookie Clicker and Candy Box both released in quick succession in 2013, I remember them being received mostly as a joke, or else as an amusing parody of "watch numbers go up" RPG gameplay. Then something weird happened: all my colleagues became fixated on Cookie Clicker. So did I. Lots of...

The early access RPG Entropy is a very different beast to its developers' previous work. Dread Delusion was a shockingly good homage to first person RPGs like King's Field or The Elder Scrolls, while this new game is distinctly JRPG-inflected, nailing a lot of the feel and intangibles of...

One of the many things making this feel like a particularly dumb epoch to be living through is the way the US government has taken to using videogames as a tool for self-aggrandizement and disseminating its pro-war and anti-immigration messages. A bunch of people who usually argue politics...

Sometimes it's nice to just find something cool and fun and free on the internet, and the Cartographia Imperialis is just that: A 3D galaxy map of the Warhammer 40K Milky Way you can peruse in your browser. It has the same simple, awe-inspiring majesty as Mass Effect's take on the concept, and...

It already felt weird and wonderful to say that PC Gamer has reviewed Metal Gear Solid 4, a game for the personal computer. Now it gets even weirder: MGS4 mods are incoming, with TriggerHappy on YouTube already showing off a custom map in Kojima's 2008 stealth-action classic. Back in 2021...

Halloween: The Game developer IllFonic appears to have patched out a sex minigame after a gameplay clip went viral. The video game adaptation of the iconic 1970s slasher movie lets players have sex in a closet, but one video of this minigame featuring Samuel Loomis raised eyebrows given the...

On September 5, Rebel Wolves took to Twitter on the official Blood of Dawnwalker account to announce that the dark vampire RPG had already surpassed one million copies sold just three days after its September 2 launch. "Thank you for playing, sharing, supporting, and being part of the...

In a Gamescom interview with IGN, Saber CCO and former id Software dev Tim Willits said that the company's upcoming Space Marine follow-up is not using generative AI in its development. The studio has otherwise been embracing the technology, which was at the heart of the recent Rideshare...

Robert Pattinson has suggested The Batman Part 2 will be a very different take on the DC superhero than we’ve seen before. Pattinson is set to reprise his role as the Caped Crusader in The Batman Part 2, which has a February 18, 2028 release date. Assuming it hits that date, Part 2 will arrive...

AI in gamedev is about as hot as hot topics get—the tech is polarizing for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is its environmental impact. The data centers AI relies on come with grave heat and water use concerns at a time when our species' ecological footprint is already leaning...

You know, I do a lot of prattling about videogame music at this humble website PC Gamer dot com. It's practically woven into the fabric of my very being at this point—hugely formative for me growing up, and now I carry little bits of it everywhere. I have half a dozen VGM playlists dedicated to...

If you've seen any slasher flick, you know the drill: every youth is horny, and the horny must die. Despite Halloween not being quite as trope-riddled as some of its stabbiest contemporaries, its recent asymmetrical PvP adaptation did include a minigame where two players could slip into a closet...
