IO Interactive might be winding down development on Hitman 2 this month, but that doesn't mean the end for its surly assassin; the studio has confirmed that work on its next Hitman game, whatever that might ultimately prove to be, is "well underway".

You might not have heard, but there's a little indie game coming to PlayStation this Friday, and Sony's celebrating with the release of a new limited edition PS4 Pro bundled complete with a copy of the game in question. Which is Death Stranding, of course.

Developer Starbreeze has confirmed that Payday 2's previously announced Border Crossing heist DLC - the first fruits of its renewed work on the popular multiplayer game - will launch on PC this Thursday, 7th November.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate welcomes SNK legend Terry Bogard as its next DLC character today.

Two major additions arrived in Apex Legends last night: the first, a long-awaited firing range - the second, the duos mode announced last week. But a third addition Respawn probably didn't plan was a bug allowing players to punch each other before the start of a match.

Playtonic Games, developer of Yooka-Laylee and its recent sequel, has squashed speculation it is being bought by Microsoft.

So you've been eyeing up one of those swish PS4 Pros for a while now.

Red Dead Redemption 2's PC launch had a rocky start yesterday, with seemingly large numbers of players unable to launch the game at all. On both Reddit and Twitter, complaints have stacked up over an issue where clicking on "play" results in the error "Red Dead Redemption 2 exited unexpectedly" - not great for players just wanting to get their cowboy (or girl) on.

I'm excited by the Story Missions in Overwatch 2 and encouraged by what I played at BlizzCon 2019. Finally Blizzard can push the Overwatch story forward and not just flesh out backstory - and it can do it in the actual game. What's more, there will finally be a meaningful, non-temporary, non-competitive side to the game. We've had a sniff of what Blizzard can with the Archives PvE events, but Overwatch 2 takes PvE to the next level.

At last, Minecraft Earth is available to everyone in the UK.

Hearthstone's new eight-player autobattler mode, Battlegrounds, unveiled during Friday's BlizzCon, is now available for a week of early access - but only for a select number of players.

For years now, Yoshinori Ono has been the public face of Street Fighter. And Street Fighter's defined his life - having fallen in love with Final Fight, Ono made a beeline for Capcom and found himself working there soon after Street Fighter 2's release and through the series' glory years. He became a household name, though, for helping bring Street Fighter back from the wilderness.

Fortnite players now have a new tool at their disposal in the unending fight against fellow island dwellers (and, it turns out, fish), with developer Epic today quietly releasing a harpoon gun into its really-quite-popular battle royale game.

Apple has reportedly joined forces with Valve to co-develop its long-rumoured AR headset, with the project said to be releasing as early as the second half of next year.

The first phase of the Death Stranding embargo has passed, reviews are out and we have some measure of the game, but the announcement of a PC version coming in the summer of 2020 has left us somewhat baffled. For starters, there's the timing - the news was announced prior to the release of the PlayStation 4 game, which makes little sense. Then there's the fact that 505 Games will be publishing, while the extent of its participation in the project remains unknown. But dwarfing that is the fact that Death Stranding is effectively a collaboration between Kojima Productions and Guerrilla Games - meaning that around 70 first-party Sony staff are contributing to a PC release, one way or another.

I wish I still had time to raid in Destiny. There was a period where I played little else, night after night, wrapped up in the adventures of Eurogamer's Des Tiny OMG clan. One day I realised my PS4's disc eject button had stopped working and called up PlayStation's support line. How long had it been faulty, they asked? No idea, I said, I hadn't tried to take Destiny's disc out since the previous year.

Just Dance is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a campaign designed to raise funds for dementia research.

Xiaomeng "VKLiooon" Li broke three esports records at BlizzCon this year by becoming both the first woman and the first Chinese player to win a Hearthstone Grandmasters championship, as well as being the first woman to ever win a grand finals trophy at BlizzCon.

Red Dead Redemption 2's long-anticipated PC port launched only a few hours ago, but some PC mods have already appeared - and were, in fact, made public before the game was even playable. The modders really aren't horsing around.

It might be surprising, but until this point it's been pretty much impossible to import a custom map into the original Dark Souls. According to Souls modders, the closest you could get was importing maps from Demon's Souls - and while modders have worked on custom maps for some time, problems with the specific file format used for collision detection in Dark Souls 1 meant that progress was stalled.

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

With just five days left to go, Chorus: An Adventure Musical has managed to surpass its fundraising target.

Sony will be shutting down its SingStar servers on 31st January next year.

In its opening address to BlizzCon attendees on Friday, Blizzard finally gave an apology (of sorts) for its handling of the Hong Kong Hearthstone player controversy - but despite pledging to back up its words with actions, many fans expressed disappointment the company hadn't explained exactly what these would be. In particular, there was no word on whether pro-Hong Kong Hearthstone player Chung "Blitzchung" Ng Wai's suspension would be further reduced or repealed, or whether the two Taiwanese casters would have their own six-month bans overturned.

Pokémon Go successfully pulled off its first global ticketed event over the weekend, but the jury is out among players as to whether it was entirely worth the asking price.

As if it didn't already have a mind-boggling array of disparate systems to wrap your poor-old space bonce around, Warframe is expanding in unlikely directions once more, this time with its Old Blood update on PC. Now, players can go toe-to-toe with their own personal nemesis, who'll relentlessly pursue them across the stars unless defeated.

Small wonder that Sony moved to snap up console-exclusive rights to Hideo Kojima's first game after his acrimonious split with Konami. Kojima and PlayStation have a close relationship that dates back to Metal Gear Solid's debut in 1998. Beyond that, Sony's commissioners have a helpless weakness for the most ambitious and bizarre visions of video gaming's great auteurs and obsessives. If you are a Fumito Ueda, or a David Cage, or a Kazunori Yamauchi, and you have a weird idea for a game that cannot possibly be made on budget and will confuse the hell out of the marketing department, then Sony has a few million dollars with your name on them.

You better act fast if you want one of the exclusive London City Pikachu plush toys, as London's pop-up Pokémon Center is about to run out.

Where to start with a game like Horace? Maybe with how it's one of the year's finest games, and definitely its most overlooked. A sprawling, cinematic and ever-inventive 2D platformer - and puzzle game, and old-school arcade racer, and pixelart first-person shooter and about half a dozen other things it morphs into over its 20-hour running time - it's a lyrical flight of fancy that could only ever, really, have been made in the industrial town of Sittingbourne, Kent (or Shittingbourne, as it's affectionately known by locals).

With just over a week left until Pokémon Sword and Shield's release, all sorts of juicy Pokémon information is now leaking like a Sobble across the internet.
