Growing stronger, tougher, and more murderously deranged with each appearance, John Rambo will continue his ascent to godhood by joining the spine-ripping fights of Mortal Kombat 11. John Rambo, the Vietnam War veteran with PTSD who just wanted to be left alone, will join the war between gods and dimensions as one of the next DLC characters. This new character pack will also be rolled…
JK Rowling not “directly involved” with Hogwarts Legacy, Warner Bros. assert
Hogwarts Legacy might be set 200 years before lightning-face shows up, but it couldn't pre-empt the series creator's transphobic outbursts. Following its debut at last night's Playstation show, publishers Warner Bros. have attempted to reassure troubled fans that author JK Rowling is not "directly involved" in the game's production - though they're being cagey on just how, exactly, she stands to benefit from the game's…
Hogwarts Legacy announced, a Harry Potter RPG set 200 years before that nerk’s day
After years of leaks and rumours, Warner Bros. today finally announced they're making a Harry Potter open-world action-RPG set around the Hogwarts Boarding School For Magicians. A twist: Hogwarts Legacy is set at the school back in the 1800s, so we should see none of that pesky Potter boy. Coming next year, it's being made by Avalanche Software, the studio behind Disney Infinity - not…
Last night, we got a first look at some gameplay for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, showing off loads of the exciting bits from all nine episodes of the Star Wars films that we'll get to play through. Riding banthas, cool lightsaber fights, and rides in a bricky Millennium Falcon are but a few of the things we can expect when the game launches…
Looks like Gotham Knights will let you ditch the quintessential awkward co-op experience. You know the one. You and your friend both want to play the same character but can't. My best pal and I run into it every time. Inevitably he wins, so he gets the dexterous ranged character and I'm stuck with a melee bruiser who's got the finesse of a fire hose.…
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League coming from Rocksteady in 2022
During the DC FanDome announce-o-rama last night, the creators of the Batman: Arkham series announced Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. They call this a "genre-bending action-adventure shooter", sending a bunch of DC Comics villains to kill their mightiest heroes. It starts Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark, and not only will we be able to play as any of them, it'll support…
Batman is dead. Fortunately, the billionaire vigilante's inheritance has been handed over to four of his caped weirdo pals. Announced during DC's FanDome stream today, Gotham Knights is a third-person brawler pitting Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood against bird-loving billionaires The Court Of Owls sometime next year.
If you're not tired of zombies, the good news is neither are Turtle Rock Studios, the folks behind Left 4 Dead. Last year they announced Back 4 Blood, a triumphant return for the numeral 4 and zombies, but have been quiet about it since. As proof that their project remains undead, Turtle Rock have shuffled out a new concept art image. You can spot the…
The unannounced Hogwarts RPG is still on track for 2021, say insiders
Ever since a pretty convincing video of apparent development footage leaked two years ago, there's been plenty of speculation about a rumored Harry Potter RPG in development by Avalanche Software. Warner Bros. still haven't officially announced or acknowledged the game's existence, but a new report by Bloomberg based on information from two people working on it claims that it "remains on track for next year."

The Lego Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit games are back on Steam
After an unexpected journey away from Steam, both Lego Lord Of The Rings and Lego The Hobbit have arrived back, safe and sound. They were delisted in January 2019, presumably for annoying license reasons. Now they are back, presumably for slightly less annoying license reasons. I'm vaguely irritated that licence Hokey Cokey is the reason I'm reminding you that Lego games make for some pretty…

Mortal Kombat’s fighters are growing up, even as time collapses around them
In the second chapter of Mortal Kombat 11, it's reasonable to believe the world is going to end. Beloved characters have died. Long-slain demigods are rising from their graves. The fabric of time itself is breaking down, and the greatest problem faced by Johnny Cage in this moment is that his unrepentant asshole of a younger self won't take his feet off the table.It’s a…
Kano, Liu Kang, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya, and the rest of the gang return today to test your might in Mortal Kombat 11. And yes, they're bringing that banging theme song back with them. NetherRealm's latest in the revived and ha-ha-hilariously gory fighting game series continues with another story campaign (which have been an unexpected highlight since the reboot), more new fighters, and…
As is becoming disappointingly common with games based on movie licenses and whatnot, Lego The Lord Of The Rings and Lego The Hobbit seem to have been pulled from sale on digital stores including Steam without warning or explanation. Folks who already own them can continue to download and play them on Steam, but newcomers will need to track down a boxed copy or download…
The spine-ripping, heart-stabbing, tooth-smashing, face-eating supernatural superkillers of Mortal Kombat will return next year in Mortal Kombat 11, announced today. The main new features in this next fighting game, as far as I can tell, are ultraviolence that's even more wince-inducing and dressing up your murderers like pretty dolls. Observe, a cinematic announcement trailer follows.
Ian Hitman is back once again with the kill behaviour in Hitman 2, which just launched. The sandbox stealth-o-murder simulator visits new lands, does new murders in new ways, and generally does that Hitman stuff well. Adam Cook said in our Hitman 2 review that "although IO's latest take on their murder-sim doesn't veer too far from the previous game's reinvention, it spends time re-enforcing…
Considering the gleeful destruction in TT Games's LEGO series, there's really not much difference between heroism and villainy - all the better for those wanting to take Harley Quinn for a casual hammer-rampage in LEGO DC Super-Villains, released today on PC. It's yet another in the all-consuming series of kid-friendly superhero sandbox games, and this time gives you the chance to create your own costumed…
Rumouramus! Harry Potter open-world action-RPG footage supposedly leaked
If you want to murder monsters as a wizard, video games already have you well-covered. But if you wish to murder monsters as an official Harry Potter's Wizardly World Of Wizards And Wizarding wizard at Hogwarts? You'd better cross your fingers and hope that supposed leaked video footage of a shiny new wiztacular going round today is real. The rumour says an open-world action-RPG let…
If what you’re missing this weekend is a chance to torment some orcs, worry no more. Middle-earth: Shadow Of War is available to play for free on Steam, so you can make all the nemeses you could ever want without paying a penny. And if you want to continue those rivalries past the next couple of days, you can also grab the full loosely Tolkien-based…
All the missions of Hitman's first season will be updated and playable within Hitman 2, IO Interactive announced today. Which is great. This will give the missions news ways to do murders, as well as a little extra visual fanciness and new modes. Which sounds pretty chuffing great. IO do specify that season one owners will get the revamped counterparts in Hitman 2 for free,…
