Sucker Punch's upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive Ghost of Yōtei is getting its own official popcorn bucket, but it's proven so popular it has already sold out online.

The next round of Everdark Sovereigns will be added to Elden Ring: Nightreign on 31st July, with four enhanced Nightlords available to beat.

Robocop: Rogue City was easily one of my favourite games of 2023. It was a perfectly presented love letter to the Robocop franchise. One that paid particular homage to the dick shooting, squib-tastic, satire strewn Paul Verhoeven original in all of its excessively gory, 80's action movie glory.

A little while ago, Nintendo said smartphone racer Mario Kart Tour would stop receiving new content updates. But, even though that was the official line back in 2023, Tour racers do in fact have some new content to look forward to after all.

Sucker Punch's Nate Fox would "love to see a trilogy rerelease" of the Infamous games, but the studio only works on one game at a time - and right now that's Ghost of Yōtei.

Final Fantasy 14 will end support for the Windows 10 operating system on 14th October, 2025.

As you might've read elsewhere on the site, I really rather like Donkey Kong Bananza. It's a tremendously creative and clever take on DK as a character, and does a great job of both expanding the existing DK universe and building something all-new for a younger generation - one that's also about to get to know DK's world properly for the first time, given this is all just in time for an upcoming movie. It's brilliant.

Following yesterday's cheeky teaser trailer, the Mortal Kombat 2 movie's ready for its full reveal, with two-and-a-half minutes of silliness, a little bit of splatter, and plenty of Johnny Cage.

The grey, uncomfortably moist British summer is finally here and Epic is celebrating the occasion - well, the season - with the launch of its Epic Store Summer Sale. But there's more, seeing as Thursday also marks a fresh batch of new freebies, which this week includes Civilisation 6.

Netflix's Assassin's Creed adaptation - which was first announced in 2020 - is finally moving forward.

Ousted Subnautica 2 studio founder Charlie Cleveland has hit back at claims made by former employer Krafton in a newly unsealed court document, accusing the publisher of deliberately hindering the Subnautica 2 project in order to avoid paying out a $250m bonus.

The credits for Donkey Kong Bananza have shined a light on the game's voice cast, including one actor who is reprising his role from the Japanese dub of Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Even Anthem was exciting once. It's easy to forget now EA has sentenced BioWare's multiplayer shooter to the gallows, but there was a moment in time where the gaming world watched the reveal of Anthem with bated breath. What we were seeing wasn't Mass Effect or Dragon Age, these series the studio had clung to for so long, but something brand new. And for a moment, it dazzled. For a moment Anthem looked like the future.

The team behind the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie sequel - aptly known as Mortal Kombat 2 - has released a new teaser for the film, with a certain Mr Johnny Cage taking centre stage (poetry!).

UPDATE 18/7/25: In response to questions from Eurogamer regarding Steam's new guidelines preventing "certain types of adult content" from being distributed on the platform, Valve has provided some general background on the events leading to the decision.
After a series of vehicular teases earlier this week, CD Projekt has finally unveiled Cyberpunk 2077's much-anticipated and mildly delayed 2.3 update, which - among other things - introduces self-driving (but sadly not flying) cars to Night City.

EA Sports FC 26's hype machine has officially been switched to its 'on' position, with a first trailer - featuring a smattering of gameplay from this year's iteration - and plenty of promises around "innovations powered by community feedback". That's alongside confirmation of a 26th September launch on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC.

A few years before I started writing about video games - I just googled it, and it would have been 2002 - I went to an exhibition at the Barbican called Game On, and something I saw there made me realise just how much video games were a thing worth writing about.

A few days ago, PlayStation's Insomniac team shared a social media post of Marvel's Spider-Man perched on an antenna making a peace sign with his right hand. "Hey, how are ya?" the post read, along with a couple of accompanying hashtags. Nothing more, nothing less.

Destruction is the core focus of Donkey Kong Bananza's gameplay, but that all started as a goomba with giant arms.

Cast your minds back to a few months ago, and you might recall the Minecraft memes of Chicken Jokey and Lava Chicken. Yes, we were all a-flutter for the cuboid world's poultry thanks to the release of A Minecraft Movie.

To properly encapsulate how I feel about Donkey Kong Bananza, you almost have to start at the finish. No spoilers here, obviously, but I have to say that I think this game has one of the finest finales of any Nintendo game ever. There's a delightful build-up of adrenaline as story beats and experimental mechanical evolutions are gleefully layered atop each other. It's difficult to not have a great big smile on your face as the game hurtles towards its finish. It's pretty masterfully done.

Back in 1994, Rare reimagined Donkey Kong, transforming him from his 8-bit arcade origins into a pre-rendered 3D icon. This vision defined the character for nearly three decades, and now Donkey Kong is stepping back into the spotlight with his first original game in over a decade. Bananza isn't just a return; it's a reinvention - one of the most imaginative, playful, and technically ambitious titles the company has delivered since Breath of the Wild. From a game design perspective, Bananza pushes the 3D platforming genre into exciting new territory, but from a technical standpoint? It's a showcase for Nintendo's latest console.
