Valve plans to reboot Dota 2 card video game flop Artifact.

I've watched Inception once a year ever since its, er, inception. While no film ages perfectly once you can quote it in real-time and have pored over every little flaw and inconsistency, I think Nolan's heist movie about breaking into people's dreams still holds up as a piece of work that's simultaneously amazing and absolutely terrible at world-building.

Warframe's latest adventure, Operation: Scarlet Spear, is heading to PC next week, and Digital Extremes has released a fresh clutch of details and a new trailer in preparation.

Earlier this week, confusion arose when PlayStation 5 lead architect Mark Cerny appeared to suggest that only a limited number of PS4 titles would be backward compatible with the new console. Now, however, Sony has moved to assure consumers that the "overwhelming majority" of PS4 titles will be playable on PS5.

Five of the Best is a weekly series about the bits of games we overlook. I'm talking about potions, hubs, bags, mountains, anything really - but things we ignore at the time. Then, years later, we find they're cemented in our memory, inseparable from our experience of the game. Turns out they were important after all. So now we're celebrating them.

If you're searching for some weekend stay-indoors entertainment, Edmund McMillen, creator of the much-loved Binding of Isaac series, has gathered together a stellar bunch of his titles (plus a few from his friends) for the absolute steal of slightly less than £15.

Sonic Racing developer Sumo Digital has unveiled its next project - an Apple Arcade exclusive named Spyder, available as part of the subscription from today.

Here's an incredible case of life imitating art: the art in this case being video game PayDay.

An English League Two team has organised a global FIFA 20 tournament to help raise money for clubs hit by the coronavirus outbreak - and it's taken off.

Like every sport, Formula 1 has cancelled its upcoming events for the next few months - but unlike other sports there's a fairly neat virtual analogue of the real thing where real drivers can compete, and from this weekend onwards there'll be officially endorsed F1 races to replace the cancelled Grand Prix.

GAME staff are bracing themselves for a busy weekend as Nintendo Switch exclusive Animal Crossing: New Horizons goes on sale amid the coronavirus outbreak.

This time last year, a PEGI rating for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's campaign gave us our first proper hint that a remaster was on the way, and now the game has resurfaced on the ever-faithful Korean ratings board, too.

I used to adore Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, the series' smartphone spin-off where you managed an animal campsite. It wasn't the full Animal Crossing experience, but it was a happy little slice which fit well enough on my mobile.

I will always love the Vita: that beautiful screen, that oddball touchpad on the back, those lovely floating triggers. Most of all the Vita had such excellent games - a Double-A paradise. Gravity Rush was a dream of movement and landscape. Wipeout was the future of yesterday handled with care. And Unit 13? Unit 13 was a secretly great game, if you looked past the surface stuff.

Yesterday, Blizzard waggled its fingers dramatically and ripped back the veil to reveal Overwatch's 32nd hero, Echo, and today it's giving the full run-down of her abilities.

Fans of frustratingly dormant IP, people called Sam, and, I guess, fishing, potentially have reason to celebrate next week; Splinter Cell's be-goggled protagonist Sam Fisher will be making his way to Ghost Recon: Breakpoint as part of a possible, uh, Terminator crossover.

I think it's fair to say that no-one was expecting the developer behind slightly shonky games as Bet on Soldier and The Cursed Crusade to become the next big thing in the racing genre, but here we are. The Parisian studio Kylotonn has been around a fair while, having shipped some 25 games since it was founded back in 2002, but it's a name I - and I'm sure countless others - was unfamiliar with when it took over the WRC series back in 2015. It was a fairly inauspicious start, but the progress made since then has been nothing short of phenomenal.

All it takes is sitting down and recording your lines over an animation, right? Well, it's a little more complicated than that, as a new video showing the process of dubbing Pokémon shows.

If you're struggling for entertainment while the COVID-19 situation is being brought under control, the indie developers of Itch.io are here to help, as a fair number of games have been made free or heavily discounted to ease the stress of the situation. Which is just as well, as it looks like we could be social distancing for a while.

Barely has the curtain closed on Sea of Thieves' latest swashbuckling narrative escapade, Heart of Fire, than Rare is back with news of its multiplayer pirate adventure's next big monthly update, which is set to usher in sweeping changes for the game's PvP-focussed Arena mode.
