Before Goodfellas. Before The Godfather. Before any of it — there was Sicily. Mafia: The Old Country, developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games, takes the beloved crime franchise back to its earliest roots, stripping away the sprawling open world and delivering something far more focused, cinematic, and emotionally raw. Released on August 8, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, it is alre

The creators of Fallout 1 and 2, Wasteland, and Arcanum are going bigger than they ever have before. Clockwork Revolution, developed by inXile Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios, is the studio's first AAA title under the Xbox umbrella — and by every account, it is the most complex, ambitious, and narratively rich game in inXile's history. Expected to arrive on PC and Xbox Series X/S
The creators of The Last of Us and Uncharted are going to space. After years of silence, speculation, and one of the most unexpected reveal trailers in gaming history, Naughty Dog officially announced their next project at The Game Awards 2024 — and it is unlike anything the studio has ever made. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is a PS5 exclusive action-adventure set two thousand years in the f

Seven years. That is how long fans of the greatest arcade flight combat franchise in gaming history have been waiting. Since Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown launched in 2019 and went on to become the best-selling entry in the series with over seven million copies sold, Project Aces went quiet — and the Ace Combat community waited, hoped, and held its breath. At The Game Awards 2025, the wait ended. AC

Some games arrive and immediately establish themselves as something special. South of Midnight is exactly that kind of game. Originally launched in April 2025 exclusively on Xbox Series X/S and PC, Compulsion Games' Southern Gothic masterpiece has spent a year accumulating critical acclaim, awards, and an audience that fell completely in love with its world. Now, as of March 31, 2026, PlayStation
For six years, Sony gave PC players something they never expected: access to PlayStation's greatest single-player games. God of War. The Last of Us. Ghost of Tsushima. Returnal. Horizon Zero Dawn. One by one, they landed on Steam — sometimes a year late, sometimes two, but they arrived. PC players bought them in numbers that made the ports commercially viable, or so it seemed.That experiment is no
After years of mounting financial pressure, disappointing releases, and a stock price in freefall, Ubisoft finally pulled the trigger. On January 21, 2026, the French gaming giant — once one of the most powerful publishers in the world — announced the most dramatic restructuring in its four-decade history. Six games canceled. Seven games delayed. Two studios permanently closed. Hundreds of jobs lo
If you have been thinking about upgrading your GPU, buying more RAM, or building a new gaming PC in 2026, you need to read this. The gaming hardware market is in the middle of a crisis unlike anything it has experienced before — and the culprit is artificial intelligence.
It has happened again. Effective April 2, 2026, Sony has raised the prices of the entire PlayStation 5 lineup for the second time in less than a year — and this time, the increases are far more significant than anything the gaming community has seen since the PS3's infamous $599 launch price nearly two decades ago.
After Santiago, it's London's turn. VALORANT Masters London 2026 runs from June 6 to June 21 at the Copper Box Arena inside the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Hackney Wick — and it marks the first time an international VALORANT event has ever been held in the United Kingdom. Twelve teams, a $1 million prize pool, 29 Championship Points on the line, and a direct path toward VALORANT Champions Shan
If there is one event that defines the esports summer of 2026, it is the Esports World Cup. The largest multi-title tournament in the history of competitive gaming returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 6 through August 23, 2026 — seven weeks of non-stop competition, a record-breaking $75 million prize pool, over 2,000 players, and 200 clubs from more than 100 countries all converging on one c
Every year, the best Dota 2 teams in the world train relentlessly with a single goal: to claim the Aegis of Champions at The International. This August, TI returns to Shanghai for its 15th edition — and for the first time since 2019, the city that saw OG make history as two-time champions will once again host the biggest event in Dota 2's history.
