XDefiant, Ubisoft's free-to-play Call of Duty-like arena shooter, launched yesterday. However, the game has already faced its share of issues, with matchmaking being shot (pun not intended) leaving many unable to access it at all.

Hey everyone. At 5pm yesterday, it was announced that the Gamer Network family of websites - Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and Dicebreaker - had been acquired by a new owner, IGN Entertainment.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes unfolds like an origami star. The more you play Simogo's logic puzzle game, the more unexpected complexity you find folded in it, flattened neatly into an unassuming, pretty exterior. You've arrived at an aristocratic hotel in Europe. Your handbag carries keys for your car that won't start, and tampons. You're missing all of the important answers, like where, when, or who you are, but the puzzle of your existence is at first only unsettling. Then it consumes you.

Even without the whole PSN debacle, Helldivers 2 has had hectic few months, with developer Arrowhead pumping out wild, game-changing updates at a furious pace. But it looks like the studio is finally ready to ease off a bit, and has said it feels a "slightly lower [update] cadence... will benefit both us, you, and the game."

Hunt: Showdown, the acclaimed PvEvP bounty hunting horror shooter from developer Crytek, is waving goodbye to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on 15th August - but owners will be able to upgrade to the current-gen versions for free.

FromSoftware has released a brand new story trailer for Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree.

Nightdive's 2023 System Shock remake was a revelation on PC last year, and now you can play it on console too - and you should! This re-envisioning of the original 1994 System Shock stands as one of the most engaging immersive sims I've ever played and took a spot on my personal GOTY collection. This is a game that does not hold your hand; it asks a lot of players but gives a lot in turn. The remake is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and we've tested it on all platforms to see how well it runs on each, how it handles on a gamepad, and what, if anything, doesn't make the cut from that spectacular PC release.

The recently released Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes movie is the 10th Planet of the Apes film to have hit the cinema screens since the original came out in 1968. This is an impressive number, but did you know there have also been six official Planet of the Apes games? Well, I'm going to guess not because the majority of them have either been bad, boring or broken and ultimately, utterly forgettable.

After completing this morning's Wordle I found myself drawn to a "New!" link advertising WordleBot, a smart-sounding addition to The New York Times app which promised to analyse my puzzle solution and compare it with others. (I got today's word in six, for which I'm still feeling a little shameful.)

PlayStation's London Studio has shared a short goodbye with its community, following the announcement of its closure by Sony.

The Kingdom Hearts series is coming to Steam, following PC exclusivity on the Epic store.

I think it's fair to say Ninja Theory had quite a daunting task when it came to producing a sequel to 2017's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. The original was rightly praised for its exploration of grief, trauma and mental illness, but how do you tell more of a story about a woman's struggles with psychosis without seeming repetitive or worse, exploitative? The answer, it turns out, is you make Hellblade 2 - a game that is nothing short of phenomenal.

Last June, Dead Cells developers Motion Twin revealed its acclaimed rogue-like action-platformer was being turned into a 10-episode animated series, and a first proper trailer has now been shared ahead of its arrival this June.

Microsoft has reportedly already greenlit Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 developer Ninja Theory's next project and has "no plans whatsoever" to close the studio - news that comes amid fan concerns for its future following the closure of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.

Paradox Interactive has delayed Life By You - the new Sims-like from its Paradox Tectonic studio - yet again, saying "additional development time is needed" and that it doesn't want to commit to a new release date it "cannot be certain to meet".

Geography of Robots - the developer behind 2022's acclaimed narrative adventure Norco - has revealed its new project, Silenus, and there's an "experimental" Steam demo to try right now.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, this year's excellent Metroidvania-esque revival of Ubisoft's beloved platform series, has just received the second of three previously announced free post-launch content updates, this one adding a new Boss Rush mode and more.

When you first meet Songs of Conquest's Captain Xavier Silkspool (a brilliant fantasy name if ever I heard one), his role begins and ends as a boss tutorial for your first main campaign hero, Cecelia Stoutheart. He gives you a little runaround the game's gorgeous 3D pixel art maps, actively chasing you down and claiming resources, monuments and territory of his own (at least compared to the altogether more static clumps of enemies you'll have faced thus far), and when you eventually meet him in battle, you'll learn just how vital your own crop of magic spells are in turning the tide of battle. But in Cecelia's respective song of conquest, her duel with Silkspool would probably occupy little more than a rhyming couplet. He's gone as swiftly as he appears, and his death is the first of many she'll need to face in order to reclaim her homeland.

If you have been waiting patiently for the PlayStation 5 release date for vampiric survival game V Rising, I have some fang-tastic news for you to sink your teeth into.

When a game arrives for review on the same day it's released to the general public, this does tend to raise a red flag. I mean, if the quality of the game is good, why not tell people ahead of time? And yet that's the situation that faced us on the release of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut - the latest PC port from the masters at Nixxes. The pedigree of the developer has been established, so perhaps we shouldn't have worried, but even Nixxes releases have been rushed in the past. Thankfully, initial impressions of this latest port are positive.
