Ever Oasis is an upcoming action-RPG whose adventurous spirit is bedecked in unabashed whimsy. Part town management, part wide-world adventure, its bright and breezy aesthetic looks to frame a comprehensive set of RPG systems.

Quake Champions opens its doors good and proper this Friday, letting anyone sign-up and play immediately.

Good news for people who fancy playing as a murderous cyborg intent on wiping out the last remnants of humanity - brutal 2D shooter Butcher has just launched on PS4.

I spent twenty minutes this morning trying to get PSVR set up in the office. It's not complicated, and in truth I have done it successfully several times before. This morning, though, it seemed complicated: a bag of snarled wires and plugs and funny little junction boxes. Some things fit, but some other things sort of fit. Just enough to leave you with a lingering doubt. For a quarter of an hour I was increasingly defeated by circumstance, jiggling wires in their mounts, checking underneath things for on/off switches I had forgotten. The solution, and this is almost always the case, came with a wire I had discarded as being useless fairly early on. It went into a slot I hadn't noticed and connected two things that I had not imagined needing connecting. Tinkering with stuff can be a real pain.

UPDATE: Capcom's released the first trailer for Ed, the next DLC character for Street Fighter 5.

Civilization Revolution 2 released in 2014, offering an even slimmer, stripped-back take on the Civ formula than its predecessor. It was reasonably well-received, but unlike that first game, it seemed content to play things safe. The difficult second revolution, I guess.

The timing was strange, to say the least. Nintendo had asserted that its line of dedicated handhelds wasn't necessarily over now that its new hybrid was on the market and doing rather well, but no-one quite expected its commitment to be underlined so soon. Yet mere weeks after the Switch hit shelves - where it hasn't lingered for long, thanks to a healthy appetite for the system - the New 2DS XL was announced, with the unit launching at the tail-end of July. Nintendo's famed for its eccentricity, but this announcement came across as extra odd.

Red Barrels has released a patch for the PC version of horror game Outlast 2 that makes it easier on normal difficulty.

Somehow, twenty years have passed since the release of The Fifth Element. That means it's been twenty years since those gentle brass aliens first wobbled into our lives, twenty years since we first saw that scrupulously compact apartment, that cityscape of bobbing yellow taxicabs, that glorious visual joke about the future of cigarettes.

Back in 2014, Germany won the World Cup, the first Guardians of the Galaxy film came out, and Overkill announced its The Walking Dead game.

Highly reminiscent of Blizzard's Overwatch, Hi-Rez Studios' Paladins: Champions of the Realm has recently arrived in open beta form on PS4, PS4 Pro and Xbox One, joining a PC release that has gradually evolved since its 2015 debut. The colourful aesthetic, characters, announcers, music, and even the HUD mirror a lot of the choices made in Blizzard's own shooter, but in terms of execution Paladins is still the one of the best alternatives we've played to date. Developed by the talented team behind games like Smite, it deploys Unreal Engine 3 with Havok physics to achieve attractive visuals at 60fps on all platforms.

At 11.36am on March 22nd 2017, White Paper Games announced The Occupation with a trailer and a press release. Set in 1980s north-west England, it's a first-person narrative adventure that follows a journalist caught up in the aftermath of a terrorist attack that left 23 people dead.

This week, the Eurogamer editorial team had its annual offsite - a day of rigorous discussion about the state of the website and what we want to achieve in the next year, followed by an evening of rigorous drinking.

It's been a long time coming. The arcade version of Tekken 7 first went on test in Japan three years ago, enjoyed a general arcade release in 2015 and was updated with new content a year later. Fast-forward to 2017 and the long-awaited home version is just weeks away from release. An initial hands-on test of the PS4 version suggests that not only has the wait been worth it, but there's an interesting bonus mode too - for the first time ever, a major franchise fighting game is testing the water with a virtual reality mode.

There are a lot of books in the Finch mansion. Books on the shelves. Books on the floors. Books on chairs. Books over doors. If you find your way into the kitchen - if you find it by fighting your way past stacks of books, naturally - you'll find that there are books all over the kitchen, too. I don't remember checking the sink, but there are books everywhere else, piled on work tops and spread over counters.

Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat is a guest DLC character in upcoming fighting game Injustice 2.

Dota 2 will soon feature a four-player, co-op campaign called Siltbreaker, with the first of two parts arriving later this month.

Birthdays the Beginning's premise has a childlike simplicity: take a snowglobe world and fill it with life. No wonder: creator Yasuhiro Wada had the idea for the game as a child, after watching an episode of the cartoon Doraemon, which featured a tool to create a miniature planet, a mini-Earth that, once raised, could sit on a shelf in your bedroom while its ecosystem ticked away. Wada is best known for the series Harvest Moon, but while both games are bucolic enterprises exploring the stewardship of life, there is a vast difference in scale. In Harvest Moon you're a tinkering farmer; in Birthdays you're a sweeping divinity. Harvest Moon moves in seasons, Birthdays in millennia.

Cave Story+ publisher Nicalis has given a first look at the game's new local co-op mode, due to be made available as part of the forthcoming Switch version.

UPDATE 4/5/17 17:00: Red Barrels helpfully offers a full breakdown on its Steam page of each console's resolution limits, confirming the game does indeed use dynamic resolution. To clarify, this means sparing drops to 936p on PS4 and Xbox One, down from a typical 1080p. On the other hand, PS4 Pro drops to 1260p at the very lowest while in its 4K output mode, but generally holds at 1440p.

Bethesda has let its lawyers off the leash once again, and this time they've forced a name change on upcoming indie game "Prey for the Gods".

Sony has set a date for its annual E3 media showcase, and it should come as precisely no surprise to anyone.
