With a cracking new tactical feature and dedicated UI "strike team", Football Manager 27 is a huge step back towards FM's best form Arteta tête. Welcome back, Football Manager. Football Manager 27 is a big, much-appreciated step in the right direction. He put Bruno Fernandes back in the number 10 role, reverted to a familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, gave a relatively large amount of creative freedom to more creative players, and set them up in more of a fluid counterattacking mid-block as opposed to Amorim's structured, finely-tuned high press.

Our Verdict Modern Warfare 4 is the bar that this series should regularly aspire to, and a reminder that Call of Duty benefits when it actually tries to change. PC Gamer's got your back There is a new game titled "Call of Duty" every year, but it's not every year that Call of Duty is really back. What is it The next Call of Duty from the original creators of Call of Duty Release date October 23, 2026 Expect to pay $70/£60 Publisher Activision Blizzard Developer Infinity Ward Reviewed on RTX 5090, Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz, 64GB RAM Multiplayer Up to 60 players Steam Deck Unsupported Link Official site The tireless schedule of Activision's load-bearing FPS has resulted in more bad games than good as of late—Modern Warfare 3 was an expansion-sized sequel rushed out the door, Black Ops 6 was a step back for multiplayer, and its immediate followup Black Ops 7 was clocked as superfluous and uninteresting even by rain-or-shine fans. These back-to-back games, shouldered by Treyarch, Sledgehammer, and Raven, had cracks and compromises that suggested the Call of Duty machine just can't keep up with both "good" and "fast" anymore.
I've never felt worse for doing well in a videogame than in this intensely '90s citybuilder Sorry to everyone I evicted. Maybe take a drive to make yourselves feel better. I think it's obvious and uncontroversial to say that the automobile is a tool of capital to subjugate the worker, to atomise them in their locomoting coffins and alienate them from their fellow human beings. 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.
S-Game, the Chinese studio behind Phantom Blade Zero, clearly understands the core tenets of character-action games. If your melee combat isn't tight, responsive, and oozing cool, then what's the point? Some games might have better combat, but few can match Phantom Blade Zero's style. Every moment feels like you're in the middle of a Chinese martial-arts movie, pulling off moves that shouldn't be feasible--moves that go against what we expect from third-person action games--yet are baked into the mechanics.
Additional details about BioWare's canceled Mass Effect game have leaked online, revealing a story that would have taken choices from the Commander Shepard trilogy into account if EA hadn't shut down the studio. The long-awaited and currently canned follow-up for the sci-fi RPG franchise, which was working under the title Mass Effect: Universe, was built around decisions made in the original games, according to comments shared by former technical director Romain Toutain during a recent livestream (via Kotaku). As more details about the project leak, there's no telling exactly how thorough this system would have been, but he did his best to give fans an idea. "All the choices made in the first Mass Effect games were taken into account," Toutain said (translation via Bluesky user @loustica-lucia.bsky.social).
BioWare's incredible legacy will continue as long as there are RPGs EA is shutting down the venerable studio, but its impact will persevere. For my column this week I was going to write about climbing all over monsters in Dragon Dogma 2's chilly Dark Arisen expansion, but then EA decided to finally murder BioWare after years of slowly poisoning it. So sadly I am pivoting to this eulogy. 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 Fraser is the UK online editor and has actually met The Internet in person.
Retro video games are everywhere lately — especially in places where they aren’t supposed to be. Halo in a web browser, Wind Waker on the iPhone, Super Smash Bros. Over the past month or so, these kinds of unexpected projects have gone viral with incredible frequency thanks to new AI tools, as hobbyists take apart games and then rebuild them for new platforms. But while AI has supercharged the pace of these ports, it’s also tearing apart tight-knit communities dedicated to preserving games.
Mini PCs haven't been shielded from this year's price increases, but the GMKTec K8 Plus still manages to pose a serious threat to Valve's $1,000+ Steam Machine. The K8 Plus used to be a steady $400 - $500 device, but the 32GB RAM version I've been testing is now more likely to be found between $750 and $900. As it stands, the model sat on my test bench will run you somewhere between $750 and $950 depending on sales (note Amazon's listings generally drop you down to 512GB of storage), whereas the cheaper alternative can drop things down to around $600. Aside from a few Doom: The Dark Ages and Planet Coaster 2 skirmishes, this hub has been my destination for lighter gaming across Stardew Valley, Islanders, and Restory, with in-game benchmarks tested at both high and medium graphical settings in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Total War: Three Kingdoms, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and Cyberpunk 2077.
You can make this DIY controller in six hours and for less than 12 bucks—but would you want to? I think I'll stick with my GameSir Nova Lite. This costs comfortably under $30 on a good day, but how low can you go in the budget realm? Well, how about a pad you can make yourself in about six hours for €10 (or about $11.22)?
This year has seen the launch of two Star Wars games, with each one offering a new take on a galaxy far (far!) away. Bit Reactors' Star Wars Zero Company puts its best XCOM foot forward with an aggressive take on turn-based tactics, while Fuse Games' Star Wars Galactic Racer has been hailed for its superb roguelite racing, slick presentation, and the delightful Biddy Blas . "It very much is part of the strategy," Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly said to The Game Business Show . Like Zero Company and Galactic Racers, it's being produced by a brand-new developer, Arcanaut Studios, under the direction of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect veteran Casey Hudson.
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realise something obvious about Star Wars Zero Company. The fate of its eponymous crew - short of cash, betrayed by the shifting sands of circumstance in a tumultuous wider world, scrambling to just about get the job over the line - is really a lot like that of its developers at Bit Reactor. Furloughed for about a month before the game was released, those staff have clearly hustled and scrapped and fought to the last. And so Zero Company the game bears the signs of its development.
Our Verdict Asus' 20th anniversary edition of the Xbox ROG Ally X is as bougie as the $300 price bump implies. For - OLED - No more stick drift - Great thermals Against - $300 more than an already pricey handheld - No performance uplift on the Xbox Ally X PC Gamer's got your back The Asus ROG 20th anniversary lineup has been interesting. The actual top dog, the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ CG3EM and its Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor, ekes out better performance with anywhere between a 20-40% performance uplift in our game testing, but it's also just under 40% more expensive in the US.

Xbox Ally X 20 vs Xbox Ally X: A wickedly bright OLED screen and frosty temps make for a begrudgingly attractive upgrade for the Asus handheld All that glitters might actually be gold. So, you've seen the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X20 in all its black and gold glory and wondered if it's worth paying $300 more for it. In my testing, I got lower Metro performance and worse 1% lows in F1 25, but better performance in Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk 2077 and 3DMark, so the framerate differences overall just about balance out.

Zero Escape and The Hundred Line co-creator's new studio "might literally crash into a million pieces" after the cancellation of its next game UPDATE: Kotaro Uchikoshi says his new game was cancelled partly due to "major changes in the game development landscape." UPDATE 21:37pm UK: In a follow-up tweet, Uchikoshi clarified that he's still part of TooKyo Games and he hasn't fallen out with fellow studio co-founder Kazutaka Kodaka. In fact, Kodaka jokes he "may have fallen in love" with the Danganronpa dev. There's Akira Mine, a writer with credits on Hundred Line and the upcoming Danganronpa 2x2, and Muri Sasaki, who contributed to both Zero Escape and AI: The Somnium Files.

Kotaro Uchikoshi took to his English social media account to announce that a game he and his team at his new studio Crash Keys recently had a new game canceled. In the statement, he noted the developer had worked on the project for a year and a half before it was abruptly canceled. In the announcement, he asked people to use the contact form on the official site for “work requests, investment proposals, words of encouragement, or invitations to Law of Attraction seminars.” However, the actual site itself features some unusual elements such as profiles for people like “HLPUL UFHLK” in the Members section, the name of the studio itself being a reference to a company mentioned in 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Days, Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward, and Zero Time Dilemma, and a note on the cite referencing a Virtue’s Last Reward location, suggesting this could all be an ARG tied to a new game in that series. In the announcement, Uchikoshi noted he founded Crash Keys in March 2025 and the developer started working on the new game.
Back in 2019, author Margaret Stohl was handed a manuscript written by Jason Jones, who’s best known as the co-creator of sci-fi gaming series Halo and Destiny. The two had worked together at Bungie, and Jones wanted Stohl’s opinion on a book he was writing about AI taking over the world. It was an oral history of the fictional events, with around 100 characters spread across 40 countries, all detailing the AI uprising from their own perspectives. Halo’s co-creator wrote a novel about AI taking over the world Read a chapter from Jason Jones’ An Oral History of Humanity’s Final Invention, one part of an ambitious multimedia plan.
