At last, Minecraft will launch its cross-platform version on PlayStation 4 tomorrow - Tuesday, 10th December.

The full Safi'jiiva Siege won't actually be going live until Friday, 13th December in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, but we've got an early look at armour stats for the monster's set.

A new BioShock game is in the works, publisher 2K has confirmed.

In the autumn of 1995, I interviewed for a writing position on Edge magazine. I had no experience in publishing; I'd spent a year since leaving university writing manuals and design documents for the developer Big Red Software, but I was desperate to be a journalist. Although I hadn't read Edge that much, everyone I worked with treated it like a holy text. It felt like a long shot. Then Jason Brookes turned up late for my interview, was friendly but distracted throughout, and at the end set me a writing task before disappearing completely. I assumed I had failed. Over a month later however, he called me and offered me a job. This was my first inkling that Jason had his own way of working.

Hello, and welcome to our new series which picks out interesting things that we'd love someone to make a game about.

Only last week, director Tetsuya Nomura told us he was unable to share a release date for Kingdom Hearts 3's Re:Mind DLC because "people would get mad at him". Fast-forward seven days, however, and a new teaser on Square Enix's YouTube channel finally reveals one: 23rd January 2020, for PlayStation 4, and 25th February for Xbox One.

If you're desperate to know more about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 (and why wouldn't you - its predecessor has pride of place in our Games of the Decade list), Nintendo has shared a handful of behind-the-scenes shots of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 by way of its careers website.

Over the last three days, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been testing a new feature to prevent players from camping in the middle of the safe zone without engaging competitors.

Bandai Namco has unveiled two new Tekken 7 fighters - Muay Thai champion Fahkumram and Ganryu.

Community Games - DICE's own term for custom servers - will go live in Battlefield 5 tomorrow, Monday 9th December, 2019.

Like an unexpected blue shell from Mario Kart, Death Lap seems to have come from out of nowhere and crashed onto the front page Oculus store. Unlike the blue shell though, the impact of this one feels a bit limp and after playing it for over an hour, I'm less than impressed with the vehicular mayhem on offer.

This week's arrival of Halo: Reach on Xbox One, Windows Store and Steam is a highly significant release. Nine years after its Xbox 360 debut, it has finally been added to the Master Chief Collection with all last-gen Bungie and 343 titles now available to Xbox One users. It's also available on PC as part of a scheduled, episodic roll-out of Halo titles - and it's the first full franchise release to hit the platform since 2004. It's a big deal then, but how does it improve on the original and are there any problems with the conversion?

Quietly revealed in August, The Touryst from Shin'en Multimedia recently arrived on Nintendo Switch and quickly left a strong impression. With its voxelised design, smooth frame-rate and unique gameplay, it's unlike anything the team has worked on to date - and I think it's one of my favourite Switch releases of 2019. Beneath its stylised but relatively simplistic visual design lies one of the Switch's most capable graphics engines - a game that basically never deviates from its target 60fps and never makes you wait more than a second. It's fast, it's beautiful and it's worth checking out.

You'll be able to watch a scene from the upcoming Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker within Fortnite next weekend.

You Died: The Dark Souls Companion is one of the great gaming books of the last few years - it's passionate, perceptive and wonderfully partisan. (We should also mention that it's the work of two friends of Eurogamer, Keza MacDonald and Jason Killingsworth.)

Minecraft is, by far and away, the most popular video game on YouTube, according to new figures released by the video platform as part of its end-of-year round-up.

Bethesda has announced that content development for its free-to-play card battler The Elder Scrolls: Legend is now officially "on hold" and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Julian Gollop's long-awaited X-COM spiritual successor Phoenix Point finally launched on PC earlier this week, after much delay. Unfortunately, while it's currently available to purchase via the Epic Store, it's still yet to materialise on the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass for PC as originally announced - and developer Snapshot Games has now explained why.

When Life is Strange 2's first episode launched, its differences seemed to define it. It was a road trip game, where the first Life is Strange had been so focused on a particular place. It featured a far smaller recurring cast, without the familiar faces who had helped flesh out Arcadia Bay. And it was about two brothers, their relationship defined by a difference in age as well as special abilities. It felt a lonelier experience, one slightly harder to warm to, with a central relationship which at times felt more like work than friendship. Ultimately, each of these differences has helped Life is Strange 2 stand out as something unique, truthful and necessary.

Sega's solid, if not exactly much-requested, remake of 2006 Wii game Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz will be making its way to PC next Tuesday, 10th December.

We knew gameplay changes were coming to Death Stranding. Now, we can see some of these changes in action.

PlayStation's final State of Play showcase of 2019 airs next week on 10th December.

Each week, Five of the Best gives a little love to the overlooked features in games. The sort of features you don't notice when you're playing because you're too busy, those poor things.

Remember the halcyon days of 2016 when (quickly does a Google) No Man's Sky came out and One Direction announced its hiatus? Do you also remember Microsoft's questionable fashion foray, the official Xbox hooded onesie? Well it's back and this time it's heading to the UK.

The new Safi'jiiva Elder Dragon has only just been introduced to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, but there's already a new Siege version of the monster on the way.

Hello! To celebrate the launch of Dicebreaker, a glorious place to read about the pleasures of board gaming, table-top and all that jazz, here's a piece from the editor-in-chief Matt Jarvis.

The Double-A Team is a feature series honouring the unpretentious, mid-budget, gimmicky commercial action games that no-one seems to make any more.

Grand Theft Auto Online will be getting its "biggest, most audacious, most complex criminal operation ever" next Thursday, 12th December, in the form of The Diamond Casino Heist.

Beyond a Steel Sky, the long-awaited sequel to Revolution Software's beloved 90s sci-fi point-and-click adventure Beneath a Steel Sky (in case you hadn't already twigged), will no longer meet its originally anticipated 2019 release window, and is now scheduled to launch next year.

A new Steam trophy was added to the Resident Evil 2 remake last month - and no-one knows how to unlock it.
