From the moment you take control of Akito, they're everywhere. On the crosswalks and the pavements. In the hospital and the subway stations. Small, forlorn piles of clothing that once kept someone warm and dry. But now they lie in the same position they fell, sitting in untidy little clumps across the streets and buildings of Shibuya, kind of together but also kind of separate, like uneasy strangers at a dinner party.

Ukraine-based developer Frogwares has announced new DLC available now for its latest Sherlock Holmes games.

Remember press events for game launches? Thanks to the pandemic, they've felt like a long distant memory for us here at Eurogamer.

One avid Nintendo fan has finally completed their North American 3DS collection thanks to a recent purchase of Barbie Groom and Glam Pups. However, this acquisition certainly didn't come cheap.

Hello! We're very excited to bring you a piece from Ben Bayliss, the writer, disability advocate and editor-in-chief of Can I Play That?

In the last few years, representations of disabilities in video games have been on the rise. However, with representations of deafness, everything is usually represented with the common stereotypes: characters are always shown using American Sign Language and are unable to hear at all. So far, we've not really had a game that spotlights a main character with deafness - and no, we don't want to talk about the abysmal The Quiet Man.

Kickstarter CEO Aziz Hasan has stepped down from his position, though he insists it's not due to blockchain backlash.

Following last week's big Elden Ring patch, which added the likes of NPC quest markers and expanded NPC quests, FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco have released a smaller update tackling a range of issues on all platforms - which, most importantly for PC players, includes a fix to stop hackers from ruining others' saves.

There is a point with kittens where they can basically break fundamental laws of physics. Where they can reach such speed and hectic enthusiasm that they can essentially run up a person, up the legs, the torso, navigate the fleshy intricacies of the face. They're not so much defying gravity as refusing to engage with it. Kittens have zip.

Seemingly not content with chart-topping pop songs, spin-off games, and an acclaimed Netflix animated series, developer Riot Games is giving League of Legends the literary treatment, with the game's "first ever novel" set to release this September.

CD Projekt RED has officially confirmed the existence of a new title based on The Witcher. In an announcement that reveals no concrete information on the game itself, the focus is very much on technology. The firm's in-house REDengine is being mothballed in favour of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5. CDPR talks of a 'multi-year strategic partnership... [covering] not only licensing, but technical development of Unreal Engine 5, as well as potential future versions of Unreal Engine where relevant'. In essence, CDPR has chosen to throw in its lot with Epic Games, even though core Unreal Engine 5 technologies are still at an early state, with the firm helping to shape the tech 'with the primary goal being to help tailor the engine for open-world experiences'. We're at the embryonic stages here as no development time frame or release dates are being shared at this time.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the long-awaited next game from Batman Arkham developer Rocksteady, has been officially delayed until spring 2023.

At times, playing Tina Tina's Wonderlands can feel a little like working through a hangover. This is a game with UI that reads like brain fog, clouding out mechanics with half-tooltips and miniature smallprint and systems that are occasionally hinted at but rarely explained. It's also loud, in every sense, all booming explosions, yelling voiceovers and broad splashes of the high-contrast, primary colour scheme it paints jarringly over the world's otherwise slushy, sludgy browns and greens. A lot of noise. A lot of energy. A lot of ibuprofen and coffee needed to figure it out.

For Nintendo, the transition from flat-plane 2D gaming to a full 3D experience kicked off in earnest with Super Mario 64 - with most key franchises following suit in short order. Except one. The Kirby series remained on a side-scrolling path across the generations and while I adore side-scrolling games, I couldn't help but wonder how this series might play in full 3D. Now, we finally have some answers. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first fully 3D movement-based series entry and I love it.

When Masahiro Sakurai first drew a couple of stumpy arms, big feet and blushing cheeks on a little pink blob, he was answering a call within Nintendo to make a game for everyone; a game, like the adorable Kirby himself, with no hard edges, where those who found Mario a mite too masochistic might find refuge. Ever since then Kirby has presented a refreshingly casual brand of adventure, serving breezy platformers where there's never even the threat of falling off a ledge; you can just puff yourself up with air and float away.

The Stranger Things DLC for Far Cry 6 launches tomorrow and will take players into a twisted version of Yara as they seek to save their beloved pup Chorizo from the forces of evil.
