The internet was rife with Pokémon Sword and Shield leaks in the days before their release - and now The Pokémon Company wants to track down those responsible.

How do you tell story in a battle royale? Fortnite cannot lean on cutscenes and audio logs (although Fortnite will absolutely also break its own rules and use cutscenes and audio logs). It has brief lore snippets attached to its characters and items. It has environmental storytelling and live events. But, smartest of all I think, is its ability to have players act out parts of the story it wants to tell.

If you've yet to spend any of your real-life money on a pet in Sea of Thieves' new Pirate Emporium, you might be able to get one for free (sort of) with a Twitch Prime membership.

VR will not play a significant role on Project Scarlett, the boss of Xbox has indicated.

Julian Gollop's long-awaited (and much-delayed) X-COM spiritual successor Phoenix Point will finally launch on PC next Tuesday, 3rd December - and to celebrate its highly anticipated arrival, there are four new scene-setting trailers to get everyone in the mood.

Gearbox says it's started the process of "sunsetting" hero shooter Battleborn, and has warned fans that the game will go offline for good in January 2021.

Rebellion, the studio behind the likes of Sniper Elite and Strange Brigade, has acquired the portfolio of renowned British developer The Bitmap Brothers, with an eye to bringing its library of old-school hits to modern platforms.

Developer Nomada Studio's sumptuous platform adventure Gris is, after a rather lengthy wait, finally making its way to PlayStation 4 tomorrow, 26th November.

Every Halloween at university, my friends and I would make it our mission to find GTA 5's ghost. It was an Easter egg hidden on Mount Gordo which could be viewed from a distance with a sniper scope or phone - and much like any ghost story, we were fascinated (and thoroughly spooked) by the sad backstory of Jolene Cranley-Evans.

Materia Collective, the video game music publisher behind the Undertale Piano Collections, has partnered with Team Cherry to create the Hollow Knight Piano Collections, an album featuring 15 of the game's iconic soundtracks.

Square Enix has detailed more of its changes coming to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake - including the addition of new characters and boss battles.

Fried chicken dominates the front cover of Destiny: The Official Cookbook, a genuine recipe book on the slate for release in August 2020.

Last week, we published our detailed tech review of Death Stranding, focusing on the PlayStation 4 Pro version of the game. It's fair to say that in terms of its technological achievements, this is indeed a defining benchmark for the current wave of console hardware - but at the tail-end of the generation, the base PS4 hardware has been pushed hard by many developers. Perhaps too hard. The question is, how does Death Stranding on the standard PlayStation 4 hold up?

Google has issued a statement after it was accused of breaking promises over the performance of Stadia games.

An unofficial survey has identified which characters should be better balanced in Respawn's free-to-play battle royale, Apex Legends.

Niantic, the team behind augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go, has revealed its upped the game's storage limits.

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has revealed he's watching horror movies again with a view to making "the scariest horror game".

At Digital Foundry we've talked about 'impossible ports' before - games like Doom 2016 and The Witcher 3 on Switch that seem to deny technological limitations and still bring the essence of the original experiences to a new audience. Shenmue 3 is something very different, but equally as unlikely. It's an impossible sequel, a game that shouldn't really exist owing to a whole host of reasons, but somehow here it is. It's a miracle that I'm now playing a modern sequel to a game that came out 18 years ago, a game that was - by all financial criteria - a major flop. Its sheer being is something to be treasured, but fundamentally, is it actually a good game and a worthy sequel? I'd say that the results are mixed. This is Shenmue viewed through a modern lens, which is absolutely fine. However, it's also a sequel produced very much as an indie production with limitations that impact the scope of the project, and by extension, how refined the game actually is.

A new patent filed in Japan looks to have unveiled what Sony's planning to change as it updates the design of its DualShock controller for its next-gen console system, PlayStation 5.

Watching the trailers for Espire 1: VR Operative before its release conjured up exciting images of a VR version of Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid, just with a generic robot replacing the usual gruff protagonist. There was climbing, sneaking, shooting and even a dash of slow-mo in there for added Matrix inspired coolness.

Some early adopters of Google's video game streaming service, Stadia, are reporting their Chromecast Ultra devices are becoming "extremely hot", forcing the system to shutdown mid-game without saving their progress.

Half-Life is back, and that's all anyone is talking about. But spare a thought for that other old Valve game, Team Fortress 2.

Star Citizen has announcement trailers for its spaceships - and this one is the flashiest yet.

The opportunity to take a closer look at Red Dead Redemption 2 on Stadia gives us the chance to expand on the tech review we posted earlier in the week. In our first piece, we looked at the high-end Stadia experience delivered by the controller/Chromecast Ultra bundle pack with 4K HDR 'Pro' subscription enabled. Red Dead 2 is fascinating because the nature of the experience changes very significantly if you don't have the premium sub in place. And remarkably, in some respects, it's actually an improvement.

Borderlands 3 has added a new gun that tips its hat to one of Destiny's most famous weapons.

Netflix has revealed the episode titles for The Witcher, among other teases.
