When Nightdive Studios announced it was working on a remaster of the beloved 1997 point-and-click adventure Blade Runner, it said the game would come out on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch later in 2020. Eurogamer can reveal that won't happen, as development on the game has run into a raft of challenges that have complicated the work.

Developer Hinterland's superb post-apocalyptic survival game The Long Dark - which sees players prowling its snowy wilderness with nothing but a stash of rapidly dwindling resources and invariably soggy underpants - is already a wonderfully tense experience. This year, however, Hinterland is aiming to go from tense to terrifying as part of its new Escape the Darkwalker Halloween event.

Activision has unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War's co-operative Zombies Onslaught mode, which, in news sure to send eyeballs a-swivelling, is confirmed to be a timed PlayStation exclusive that won't be heading to other platforms for a full year.

Developer Tarsier's original Little Nightmares was a macabre delight, a gorgeously wrought puzzle-platformer queasily hovering somewhere between darkly adorable and deeply unsettling; however, the studio has leaned hard on the latter for its latest look at follow-up Little Nightmares 2, which is due to arrive on PC and consoles in February next year.

Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends will, at long last, be making its way to Steam on 4th November. Switch owners eagerly awaiting the game's arrival, however, will unfortunately need to wait a little longer, with the developer now confirming a delay on Nintendo's platform.

It's no secret that Among Us has been struggling with hacking issues in recent weeks, as the sudden popularity of the game has also opened the floodgates to cheaters. Yet it seems things took a particularly dramatic turn last night, as hundreds of players suddenly found their in-game chats spammed with messages telling them to subscribe to a YouTube channel.

Hitting an enemy in ScourgeBringer is like ringing a bell. There's something hollow going on, something metallic, something that resounds. And by hitting them I mean smashing them, which is the stun move and the knockback move and very different to the main attack in both the time it takes to play out and the time that's imposed before you can do it again.

Control Ultimate Edition publisher 505 Games has clarified how you can carry over your progress from the original version of Control on PlayStation 4 to the game's newly-released Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta was the most downloaded in franchise history, Activision has said.

A while back, the BBC did a series on the trains that travel across the hills of India. These were services built during British rule, engines still humming along thanks to sheer determination. The last episode visited Shimla, the summer capital of British India, including the Chapslee Estate. It had turned into a small hotel, where the now-deceased Kanwar Singh spoke fondly of its charms. He described his services not as a business selling accommodation or food, but selling an "ambience" of a previous age.

It's hard to believe, but next-gen is mere weeks away - and we just got a fresh look at one of the standout PlayStation 5 launch games, with Aoife seeing some 25 minutes of new Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales gameplay (look, can we just call it Spider-Man Miles Morales from here on out?)

Blizzard's free-to-play card battler Hearthstone is poised to get a little bit spookier on 17th November when its latest expansion, Madness at Darkmoon Faire, arrives; plus, there's a free new PvP-focussed mode, Hearthstone Duels, launching a week earlier.

As hard as it is to believe, the long-in-the-works Uncharted movie is, after almost a decade in pre-production and seven directors later, finally go; and with shooting now underway, the internet has been given a first glimpse of Tom Holland in the lead role.

Red Dead Online's Halloween update finally emerged earlier this week, and despite the addition of some nice new cosmetics, it's fair to say the community was hoping for a slightly spookier experience than what it got. Yet it's always possible to make your own fun - particularly in a game that's already quite creepy at times - and that certainly seems to be the case on the Red Dead Mysteries subreddit, where the community has decided to go on a monster hunt.

When I heard there was going to be official Assassin's Creed Valhalla shoes, I began thinking of thick snow boots, something sturdy for climbing through the fjords, or stomping on a Saxon monk trying to defend their home. Like an Ugg boot, perhaps, but with horns and blood.

NetherRealm has shown off Rambo in Mortal Kombat 11.

If you hopped on the Fire Emblem train with the release of Three Houses last year, then you may well be wondering: how did this all start out? Where did the blue-haired sword boys all come from? The very first game in the series, Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, was initially made by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo as an internal project and was never intended for commercial release. Eventually, of course, it did see an official release (and achieved unexpected commercial success) in 1990, but the title was never released outside Japan.

Sony has unveiled an official PlayStation 5 media remote, which has dedicated buttons for four top streaming services: Disney+, Netflix, Spotify and YouTube.

Last week, as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Sega released an unfinished prototype version of a Golden Axe reboot that saw a small team from Sega Australia look to modernise and revitalise one of the company's beloved arcade franchises. Suffice to say, the sudden release of the original 2012 code caught its creators by surprise, and developer Tim Dawson's Twitter thread detailed at length a story of the project's inept mismanagement that took place in crunch conditions. Sega stepped in to apologise to the coders. As the prototype itself was only available for one weekend, you may have missed out on the opportunity to play it.

What looks to be an early, work-in-progress version of Pokémon Sword and Shield has appeared online, and fans are excitedly poring over its details.

It seems EA is once again facing legal trouble for its use of loot boxes, as the company is now facing a class action lawsuit in Canada.

Steve's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate win animation no longer includes him grabbing hold of a suggestively-placed piece of meat.

And so a meandering journey comes to an end. Kentucky Route Zero, "a magical realist adventure game", was funded, modestly, on Kickstarter back in 2012. The first of its five episodes released in early 2013, the second a few months later, the third a year after that, the fourth two years later still. Now, following the almost exponential trend, after a further three-and-a-half years, we get the game's conclusion - alongside a new console edition of the entire series.

Legendary video game developer Hideo Kojima has confirmed a new project is in development, but has said nothing about it.
