For Warhorse's 15th birthday, we chatted with its co-founder about the demand for 'grown-up' RPGs, AI, why games are too cheap, and his role in the collapse of communism Just a regular convo, then. As the co-founder of Warhorse Studios, he's responsible for one of the crunchiest, most peculiar, and best RPGs of the last decade—Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a game few other studios would make. This is a game about an ordinary random person that's doing ordinary, random-person stuff, and at the end, he is just moderately less of a nobody.'" KCD scratched that itch for over 35,000 people, where "publishers, bless their hearts, are very conservative by the nature of their business… If you have this huge studio, like these established publishers do, it means that your next game is going to cost $100 million… and then you need to sell 4 or 5 million units just to break even, and that's difficult with a new IP. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together One of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since.
In 2011, Dark Souls let players praise the sun, and that sun cast a shadow long enough to engulf the whole industry. The action-RPG--boosted by its spiritual predecessor, Demon’s Souls--kickstarted a new subgenre with a refreshing level of boldness that made it unignorable for any developer making a game with a sword. It was a paradigm shift that swallowed the action genre and meant almost everything was molded after Dark Souls and its stamina meter, methodical movement, and esoteric world. God of War played a similar role in the mid-2000s, as titles like Dante’s Inferno, Conan, Heavenly Sword, Ghost Rider, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow all prayed at the altar of the newly minted Greek deity.

I avoid looking up tips for games until I finish them (see: my 46-hour 100% Silksong journey), so I revisited the early areas of Mortal Shell 2 with a fine-toothed comb. As a result of all this, I beat the first 20% of Mortal Shell 2 with unupgraded weapons, unupgraded guns, unupgraded skill stones, and a cluster of bugs bothering me like gnats.
Diablo 4's anniversary event brings back the game's most iconic location, and boy that music is sending me Tristram is back, baby, and the level of detail Blizzard has put into this recreation is genuinely impressive. Diablo 4's current Season of Hell's Legacy is focused on celebrating the 30th anniversary of the series, which debuted all the way back in 1997. As part of that effort, Blizzard has been reaching back into the past to bring back iconic characters and enemies like Deckard Cain, Baal, Mephisto, and of course the Big D himself.

Why is Blizzard still announcing games years ahead of release? 'We want to convey confidence in some of our biggest bets coming forward' Maybe it's the fact it sounds like a year from the opening crawl of a sci-fi movie, but 2030 sure feels a long way off. There were 11 years between Diablo 3 and Diablo 4, but the gap between that and Diablo 5 will only be six.

The Duskbloods is a world away from the approachable games Nintendo is known for. But for its next Switch 2 exclusive, the company has partnered with Elden Ring developer FromSoftware on a hardcore multiplayer game about vampires. And after spending a few hours playing through its gothic world at FromSoft’s offices in Tokyo, I’m convinced that The Duskbloods could end up being one of the most important exclusives for Nintendo’s latest console. We played The Duskbloods, the Switch 2’s wildest new exclusive Hands-on with the upcoming multiplayer vampire game from Elden Ring studio FromSoftware.
Xbox is (probably) not for sale | Opinion As the Xbox business’ throes continue, the notion that Microsoft wishes to sell or spin off the division has gained ground – but the impetus for selling is unclear, and the chances of finding a buyer are low. This week’s abrasion came from Microsoft’s own financial results – a third straight quarter of decline for the Xbox business, with a 10% slump in Xbox content and services (and a 29% drop in hardware sales) dragging the results from the company’s “More Personal Computing” division down 4% overall. This quarter’s 10% decline for Xbox drove a 4% drop for its enclosing division, More Personal Computing – which includes Windows, Surface, and Bing, along with Xbox – but the company’s overall numbers were still up strongly, with an 18% growth in revenue and a 31% growth in net income. That leaves us looking for a buyer with that $40-50bn kind of money to spend – and while big money deals are still possible in the current climate, as the imminent closing of the $55 billion deal to take Electronic Arts private demonstrates, the potential purchasers for a gigantic business like Xbox are extremely thin on the ground.
