Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is set to offer us a fresh take on Lara Croft's original adventure, and the devs want to make sure the spirit of that first game remains intact – right down to the often-goofy jumps and somersaults you'd have to do in order to take down enemy wolves and velociraptors while keeping Lara's life bar intact. The devs at Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog have admirably found a way to keep the acrobatics in Legacy of Atlantis.

The 12 Biggest Video Game Flops of All Time
No one sets out to build a flop. Game development costs too much to justify anything but a genuine effort, sometimes at the cost of creative freedom. Even the industry’s true auteurs must eventually answer for their bold decisions. With so many safeguards in place, most games will at least do reasonably well. And with ongoing developer attention, even an early misfire like Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man’s Sky can eventually find massive success.

After all the D23 reveals, we're finally starting to get a sense of what Kingdom Hearts 4 will look like, and series lead Tetsuya Nomura is already teasing further mysteries to be revealed. Apparently, the devs had an idea during the development of Kingdom Hearts 3 that's gone unrealized since that game launched in 2019, and they're finally getting to bring it to life in Kingdom Hearts 4. Personally? My money's on Star Wars.

Then they raid the trolls' treasure. That's when Bilbo Baggins gets Sting, the shortsword that glows when orcs are near. Gandalf claims Glamdring and Thorin picks up Orcrist.

Luna Abyss is quietly one of the best shooters of 2026
Now that summer is winding down, one thing is clear: 2026 has been a killer year for shooters. Pragmata’s hack-and-shoot twist offered an inventive spin on the formula, Marathonis a killer extraction shooter once you get the taste for it, Mouse: P.I. for Hire teed up delightful cartoon visuals, and Sarosdelivers a fast-paced bullet hell spectacle on par with 2021’s excellent Returnal. Now you can add another great game to that growing list: Luna Abyss.

“Rockstar literally just spent over a billion dollars”: Ori studio founder wants you to stop demanding 60 FPS on Xbox Series S just because GTA 6 can run on it
Rockstar has long been able to pull off some incredible feats when it comes to bringing massive, technically demanding games to lower-powered consoles like Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch, and while it's more fun to chalk it up to witchcraft, a lot of it likely has to do with the unparalleled resources available to a company funded by some of the most profitable intellectual properties of all time.

“Many people” tried securing a Palworld collab and failed, lead says, but Pocketpair isn’t unique: “Almost every popular game is getting collab offers”
Palworld gets tons of collaboration pitches that are destined to fail, but Pocketpair's publishing lead John "Bucky" Buckley says the creature catcher isn't the only game surrounded by suitors.

BG3 Fans Just Found a Secret Voice Line That Shouldn’t Exist
Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for three years. In that time, it has been fully datamined, endlessly modded, and picked apart by millions of detail-loving players. You might be tempted to think that everything to be discovered in the game has come to light. You’d be wrong. This month, a Redditor unearthed a line of dialogue that only plays if you’re a mind flayer before the first act even begins — voiced by an actor who left before the game launched.

Kingdom Hearts 4 Lets You Play As The Final Fantasy Universe’s Most Powerful Black Mage
For good reason, developers often don't let playable characters in video games get too overpowered, lest they make a game too easy to plow through.

The Blood of Dawnwalker director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz recently teased the legendary abilities players will need to possess if they want to kill the final boss right after the prologue, and now we have a little more context around why that's going to be such a humbling stretch goal.

What we know about PS6 (and what we don’t know)
If it doesn’t feel like it’s time to start thinking about the PlayStation 6 yet, it’s because lengthening game development times have slowed the pace of new releases for PS5, because initial take-up of the console was slowed by supply issues, and because the COVID-19 pandemic distorted everyone’s sense of time. But the time is upon us all the same.
Netflix's Sydney Sweeney Gundam Movie is a 'Big Action-Romance Space' Epic
The live-action Gundam film has been in the works in some form or another since 2018. A director and cast have been announced, including high-profile names like Sydney Sweeney joining the project. Still, hard details on exactly what the adaptation of the legendary mech anime series will look like have been almost non-existent. Now one of the movie's stars is pulling back the curtain ever so slightly.

Super Smash Bros. Tournament Ends In a Twist That’s Never Happened Before
Decades after its release, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube still has a very active competitive scene, with regular major tournaments and even a custom-built emulator that enables smooth online play. Thanks to the long-running nature of Melee’s competitive scene, we’ve been gifted plenty of colorful characters over the years.

The Hollywood disruptors making a large-scale game with a 12-person team – and no generative AI
You might recall the trailer for Join Us being featured in the Xbox Showcase back in June. It depicts a darkly comic co-op cult simulator, with robed cult members riding around on pigs and loosing off machine guns, before ending on an image of Cthulu-like giant tentacles.

Perhaps no single object in all of video games is quite so haunted by infamy as the golf club in The Last of Us Part 2.

‘Lanterns’ Officially Reveals Why One Iconic Hero Isn’t In ‘Man of Tomorrow’
From the very beginning, HBO’s Lanterns has been playing around with multiple points in time, fueling easy comparisons to neo-noir series like True Detective and Watchmen. While most of the series’ action takes place in 2016, Lanterns opens on a sequence from 1996 when Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) is a relatively new Green Lantern and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) is still just a young boy. Hal lost his father at a young age, and that made him fearless enough to accept the Green Lantern ring.

Fields of Mistria is 5x More Fun with Game-Changing New Mod
You’re bashing through ore on level 59 of the mines, you’ve happened upon a shelf of intriguing new products at the general store, or you’ve just worked up the nerve to talk to Valen. That’s always when you notice the sky purpling and the 8 o’clock bell ringing. Another day in Fields of Mistria, the cozy farming sim from NPC Studio, has come to an end. There’s still so much to do — which is a good problem to have. But it does lead to the never-ending “just one more day” spiral.
Dragon Ball Finally Reveals Vegeta’s Mother in New Artwork
Dragon Ball is firmly in its middle age now, as it turns 42 later this year, but that doesn't mean Akira Toriyama's beloved franchise is without secrets and surprises still. Case in point: Despite Vegeta becoming the franchise's second leading man, we've yet to meet all of his family members. King Vegeta has had a sizable role in storylines set in the past, like the opening of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, and Vegeta's brother Tarble was introduced in the OVA Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku and Friends!

De evolutie van EA SPORTS FC richting FC 27 – ADV
Hoe voetbalgames de lat steeds hoger leggen. Weinig gameseries zijn zo sterk verweven met een sport als FIFA – tegenwoordig EA SPORTS FC – met voetbal.

There's no shortage of Star Wars games in development right now, but one game set in a galaxy far (far!) away that you won't be playing is an AAA action-RPG set in that sci-fi series. Developed under the codename Magellan--it's worth noting that Zynga has never officially confirmed this project--the project would have allowed players to pick up a lightsaber and play as a Jedi, or, if they wanted to be cool, a Mandalorian.

Marvel’s Wolverine Is Another Victim Of The Internet’s Endless Gaming Negativity
Marvel's Wolverine looks like it could be a major highlight of a stacked September, but if you look online, many people are already calling the game dead on arrival for a number of reasons. One of the primary complaints stems from Marvel's Wolverine being a linear single-player action game instead of an open-world one like Marvel's Spider-Man 2--which ironically, was chided for being just that prior to release by people online who claimed to have open-world fatigue.

These films take the basics of the original stories and mash them with horror subgenres like slashers and abduction movies, resulting in a cinematic universe that's… unique. How is Disney allowing this, you may ask? Well, the films are adaptations of the original books, which have entered the public domain over the past decades.

Enkele jaren geleden maakte ik kennis met Mortal Shell.

Vooral het systeem rond de verschillende Shells wist me toen te bekoren.

Canceled Star Wars Game Was the Bioware-Style ARPG That Fans Deserved
Star Wars has always been the perfect playground for expansion, whether in comics, novels, or video games.

Alles mee. Een goed idee komt zelden op commando. Soms ontstaat het tijdens een college, onderweg naar huis of juist op een moment waarop je helemaal niet achter je bureau zit.

En extra goedkoop. Een laptop is waarschijnlijk het eerste waar je aan denkt wanneer het nieuwe studiejaar begint, maar er is nog een apparaat dat verrassend handig kan zijn tijdens je studie en daarna, een printer. Van een onderzoeksverslag tot een formulier dat je moet ondertekenen, een stapel studiemateriaal dat je liever op papier leest of een retourlabel dat je moet printen om een kapot product op te sturen, soms is het simpelweg prettig (en zelfs nodig) om iets fysiek voor je te hebben.

Van college tot bibliotheek: waarom Snapdragon-laptops ideaal zijn voor studenten - ADV
Doe alles met de processor. Een laptop voor je studie moet vooral betrouwbaar zijn. Je neemt hem mee naar colleges, gebruikt hem om verslagen te schrijven, werkt aan presentaties en hebt hem misschien de hele dag nodig zonder dat er altijd een stopcontact in de buurt is. Juist daarom zijn laptops met een Snapdragon-processor interessant voor studenten. Ze combineren sterke prestaties met een lange batterijduur en zijn bovendien ontworpen met iets wat steeds belangrijker is in gedachten: AI.
Waarom een Chromebook een slimme keuze is voor studenten - ADV

What does Columbo have to do with Ace Attorney?
Columbo, the 1970s detective show starring Peter Falk, is having a bit of a resurgence right now. But did you know that was previously a huge hit in Japan? Columbo references show up in all kinds of anime like Detective Conan and Lupin the 3rd... and in games like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Why French games have always been way ahead of their time
France is the second-biggest producer of video games in the world.

In the 1980s, French game developers were going wild, making games that would fit right in on itch.io today.
The hated exploit some developers actually want you to use

Who killed Hal Jordan in Lanterns – the prime suspects
The first episode of Lanterns has arrived... and it ends with an absolutely shocking death that none of us could've possibly seen coming.
Lanterns reveals its surprising place on the DCU timeline
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised given the involvement of Damon Lindelof (Lost, Watchmen), but Lanterns' place on the DCU timeline isn't as cut and dry as we were hoping.

Fans had been aghast at the casting of the diminutive 5'7" Cruise, and never got over it. The movies did pretty well on mid-sized budgets, but Child eventually came to agree with his readers and opted to find a taller dude and reboot the adaptation for TV.

Mahershala Ali’s ‘Blade’ Is Dead, But His Forgotten 4-Part Sci-Fi Masterpiece Is Free on Streaming
Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali has plenty of experience playing supervillains. He ruled Harlem as the crime lord Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes in Luke Cage, was a key part of Miles Morales’ tragic backstory as Prowler in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and has manipulated Mark Grayson as Titan in Invincible.
