It’s a conversation as old as old web forums and arcade brawls, louder today due to a huge wave of new players flocking to Street Fighter 6. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/armored-core-6-fires-of-rubicon-is-fromsoftwares-biggest-steam-launch-that-isnt-elden-ring/ Sun, 08 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/armored-core-6-fires-of-rubicon-is-fromsoftwares-biggest-steam-launch-that-isnt-elden-ring/ Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is FromSoftware’s biggest Steam launch (that isn’t Elden Ring) Even when it’s not the highly-anticipated and longtime hyped Elden Ring, FromSoftware games can no longer be called niche.

Season 3 is called Season of the Construct , and it kicks off on January 23 - as has been known for a while. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-4-trailer-is-here-to-remind-you-its-not-far-off/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-4-trailer-is-here-to-remind-you-its-not-far-off/ Diablo 4 trailer is here to remind you it’s not far off Should we see you in a crown? Blizzard has released what it’s calling the launch trailer for Diablo 4 . It’s a bit early to call it a launch trailer, considering the game isn’t out until June 6, but what do we know. It could be the last trailer ahead of release, which would indeed make it the launch trailer. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-4-blizzard-will-finally-tell-us-what-it-learned-from-the-ptr-and-reveal-season-4-this-week/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-4-blizzard-will-finally-tell-us-what-it-learned-from-the-ptr-and-reveal-season-4-this-week/ Diablo 4: Blizzard will finally tell us what it learned from the PTR, and reveal Season 4 this week It is almost time for Diablo 4 players to get more details on Season 4, and find out what the developer took away from the recent PTR. It’s been a while since we’ve had some fresh Diablo 4 news to get excited about. Blizzard has us covered, however, with the next developer update lined up for this week. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-4s-success-has-driven-more-people-to-maligned-free-to-play-mobile-spin/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-4s-success-has-driven-more-people-to-maligned-free-to-play-mobile-spin/ Diablo 4’s success has driven more people to maligned free-to-play mobile spin-off Somehow, Diablo 4’s success has only made Diablo Immortal more popular. Though it may be hard to believe, Blizzard has revealed that the success of Diablo 4 has not taken away from the popularity of Diablo Immortal , and actually ended up boosting it. As you might expect, the general (negative) consensus on Immortal sort of positioned it as the stepping-stone game for Diablo 4 ; something players were okay spending time with only while they waited for the proper Diablo experience. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/digital-tourism-is-a-huge-part-of-gamings-appeal-but-what-is-the-best-game-for-globetrotting/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/digital-tourism-is-a-huge-part-of-gamings-appeal-but-what-is-the-best-game-for-globetrotting/ Digital Tourism is a huge part of gaming’s appeal, but what is the best game for globetrotting?

The trailer shows off the Super Mario RPG remake in all its glory, and it’s certainly been brought up to scratch for 2023 in terms of visuals. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/supermassive-is-as-on-form-as-ever-with-the-casting-of-frank-stone-a-dead-by-daylight-spin-off-for-f/ Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/supermassive-is-as-on-form-as-ever-with-the-casting-of-frank-stone-a-dead-by-daylight-spin-off-for-f/ Supermassive is as on-form as ever with The Casting of Frank Stone, a Dead by Daylight spin-off for fans of lore and gore - hands-on preview A 45-minute preview of the early game left us with more questions than ever, but at least we finally know who Frank Stone is.

The Callisto Protocol , the spiritual successor to Dead Space directed by veteran studio head Glen Schofield, has left a lot of horror fans wanting. Specifically, it has left them wanting the official Dead Space remake, which will land at the end of the month, because Callisto just didn’t hit the mark: the consensus is that while it’s clearly been put together by a talented team, the frustrating, under-designed combat and the various performance issues make it a slog, and the content within – though perfectly alright – just isn’t good enough to justify wading through the bad stuff. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/the-dog-days-arent-over-netflix-is-reportedly-taking-its-own-stab-at-a-live-action-scooby/ Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/the-dog-days-arent-over-netflix-is-reportedly-taking-its-own-stab-at-a-live-action-scooby/ The dog days aren’t over: Netflix is reportedly taking its own stab at a live-action Scooby-Doo But can it top Matthew Lillard’s Shaggy?

Earlier this week, EA announced it was laying off 5% of its workforce, which included closing Battlefield developer Ridgeline Games, cancelling Respawn’s technically first-person Star Wars shooter (believed to be about a Mandalorian), and moving away from developing games based on licensed IP. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/riot-games-project-l-finally-has-a-real-name-2xko-is-coming-in-2025-to-pc-ps5-and-xbox-series-xs/ Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/riot-games-project-l-finally-has-a-real-name-2xko-is-coming-in-2025-to-pc-ps5-and-xbox-series-xs/ Riot Games’ Project L finally has a real name: 2XKO is coming in 2025 to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Image credit:VG247 / Riot Games The wait is finally over.

There are a lot of choices you need to make fairly early on in Starfield – here’s why your background is important. Image credit:VG247 When you’re rushing around the galaxy trying to sniff out adventure in Starfield , you’re going to want to lean on you past a little bit in order to make the most of your skillset. Whether you’re a sci-fi street rat with a chip on your shoulder and something to choose, or a former master of the culinary arts, jetting around the uncharted universe is mostly forward-looking – but there are elements of your past that you’ll come to rely on. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfield-mod-actually-makes-space-travel-possible/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfield-mod-actually-makes-space-travel-possible/ Starfield mod actually makes space travel possible Ostensibly a game about space exploration, Starfield doesn’t actually let you… travel in space. One of the many underwhelming things about Starfield is that its version of space travel boils down watching cutscenes to transition to space/surface or to travel between planets. It’s basically a collection of loading screens that never stop reminding you that you’re loading between different levels, and not actually travelling in space. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfields-starmap-is-more-useful-than-you-think/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfields-starmap-is-more-useful-than-you-think/ Starfield’s starmap is more useful than you think A subtle bit of design makes the difference. You might not have realised it, but there’s a subtle design element in Starfield ’s starmap that makes navigating the game’s universe a smidge easier. Starfield has an absolutely massive number of planets to explore; more than 1000 , in fact. But using the game’s starmap isn’t necessarily the easiest thing in the world, unless you know exactly what it’s telling you. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/steams-major-desktop-update-lets-you-watch-shrek-while-gaming-if-you-want-to/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/steams-major-desktop-update-lets-you-watch-shrek-while-gaming-if-you-want-to/ Steam’s major desktop update lets you watch Shrek while gaming, if you want to The new Steam client update is a landmark new release for what it brings today, and what it allows Valve to do across platforms in the future.

There it is: your first proper look at Suicide Squad gameplay. Rocksteady revealed that Suicide Squad is mainly a co-op shooter, although there are certain legacy brawler elements in there, this looks to be more of a take on Destiny. The game can be played solo, but it’s apparent that it’s meant to be enjoyed with friends. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-no-review-round-up---all-the-non/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-no-review-round-up---all-the-non/ We can’t say for sure, however, until some sort of consensus forms. And for that to happen, reviews (from critics and players) will need to be published. But none exist for Suicide Squad just yet, and won’t do for a while. The reason, of course, if you haven’t already guessed, is that publisher Warner Bros. Games elected not to send out early review code to media outlets. This appears to be a universal decision, affecting outlets in North America as well as Europe. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/super-monkey-ball-banana-rumble-16/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/super-monkey-ball-banana-rumble-16/ Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble 16-player online mayhem revealed in new Battle Modes trailer from SEGA Race, blast, and battle your friends for banana domination.

And developer Iron Galaxy shared in a recent blog post all of the big changes coming to the game, including the base game being free for everyone. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/forget-the-silent-hill-2-remake-this-steam-next-fest-demo-is-my-most-anticipated-survival-horror-gam/ Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/forget-the-silent-hill-2-remake-this-steam-next-fest-demo-is-my-most-anticipated-survival-horror-gam/ Forget the Silent Hill 2 remake, this Steam Next Fest demo is my most anticipated survival horror game Hollowbody borrows from some familiar places, and looks to be doing something special with them.

Byking previously made My Hero One’s Justice, a 3D arena fighter based on My Hero Academia, so we can probably expect something similar with Cursed Clash. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-walkthrough/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-walkthrough/ Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Walkthrough Medieval Europe was a tough place to live, so check out our in-progress selection of walkthrough guides to help you make the most of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2!

Here’s what we’re up to: https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/what-are-you-playing-this-weekend_15/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/what-are-you-playing-this-weekend_15/ What are you playing this weekend? It’s that time again. It’s the weekend. That means it’s time to relax and do something fun. Basically, anything that isn’t related to work. This weekend, other than seeing a couple of films, kicking back with a few brews, cooking a ham, or playing with our pets, we’ll be getting some game time in. Here’s what we’re playing this weekend.

Why shouldn’t you iron a four-leaf clover? You don’t want to press your luck. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day of worship and repentance for many. A day to tell the Lord what you did wrong during the week, ask for forgiveness and say a few prayers before returning home to have a large lunch and a good nap. For some, there’s no better start to the week than a Sunday with a clear conscience. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/where-to-find-the-medical-keycard-in-atomfall/ Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/where-to-find-the-medical-keycard-in-atomfall/ Where to find the Medical Keycard in Atomfall Here’s where to find the Medical Keycard – also known as Dr Holder’s Keycard – in Atomfall.

You still get a new cosmetic suit once you complete whatever quests lie in wait for you, but this time it’s something that Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai fans are more likely to be excited about. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/for-the-first-time-ever-watch-playstations-infamous-giant-enemy-crab-e3-in-glorious-hd/ Fri, 09 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/for-the-first-time-ever-watch-playstations-infamous-giant-enemy-crab-e3-in-glorious-hd/ For the first time ever, watch PlayStation’s infamous ‘Giant Enemy Crab’ E3 in glorious HD 2006 was a different time.

Whether they’re classic throwbacks, recolours, or something altogether more bizarre, the Day Zero SF6 scene is wild with cosmetic fervour. While this is a testament to just how broken open the beta version of Street Fighter 6 is, it’s also a great sign of health for the game’s Wild West of character customisation. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/surprise-diablo-4-patch-improves-crafting-nerfs-three-annoying-bosses/ Wed, 07 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/surprise-diablo-4-patch-improves-crafting-nerfs-three-annoying-bosses/ Surprise Diablo 4 patch improves crafting, nerfs three annoying bosses There’s a new Diablo 4 patch, everyone!

It’s something Pluto fans haven’t quite been able to get over, because why the hell shouldn’t it be classified as one? https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfield-rockets-past-10-million-players/ Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfield-rockets-past-10-million-players/ Starfield rockets past 10 million players A wealth of space explorers. Bethesda has announced that Starfield has over 10 million players as of September 20. The game acquired this player count within two weeks of availability (three weeks counting early access), making Starfield the biggest launch in Bethesda’s history and one of the biggest launches of 2023 so far. This figure is just the latest milestone for Starfield. The game hit over 230,000 concurrent players in the first two hours of early access on Steam, and on release day, September 6, it became Xbox’s most-played next-gen game ever with 1 million concurrent players. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfields-first-30-minutes-really-reminds-me-of-the-first-mass-effect/ Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/starfields-first-30-minutes-really-reminds-me-of-the-first-mass-effect/ Starfield’s first 30 minutes really reminds me of the first Mass Effect It’s all mysterious artefacts, hallucinations, and the intrigue of ancient space history out here. Image credit:Bioware/Bethesda Starfield has been quite quiet on the narrative front – we’ve seen a lot of information about the game’s skills, planets, setting, and general aesthetic, but from the narrative side of things, Bethesda has been fairly tight-lipped. In a dedicated theatre tucked into the corner of Gamescom, though, Bethesda and Microsoft have started showing off more about the game. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/still-not-got-the-special-pokemon-tcg-pocket-snorlax-or-manaphy-good-news-part-two-of-the-wonder-pic/ Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/still-not-got-the-special-pokemon-tcg-pocket-snorlax-or-manaphy-good-news-part-two-of-the-wonder-pic/ Still not got the special Pokemon TCG Pocket Snorlax or Manaphy?

It’s finally happened: Overwatch 2 is getting a collaboration with K-pop group Le Sserafim, something that felt like it was always going to happen. Ever since Riot Games created the League of Legends virtual K-pop group K/DA, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Overwatch did something similar. It may have taken five years, and an entire sequel, but as the official Overwatch account announced, a collab with relatively new K-pop group Le Sserafim is on the way. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/overwatch-diablo-and-starcraft-adaptations-were-reportedly-in-the-works-at-blizzard-and-netflix-befo/ Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/overwatch-diablo-and-starcraft-adaptations-were-reportedly-in-the-works-at-blizzard-and-netflix-befo/ Overwatch, Diablo, and StarCraft adaptations were reportedly in the works at Blizzard and Netflix, before, whoops, the former ended up suing the latter You know how things go, sometimes you’re doing a group project, then someone files a lawsuit against someone else, and by the end nobody knows if you’ve passed.

Or, at the very least, an option? Without sounding like a pompous chump, I have to say that it takes a lot for me to be excited about a Bethesda game.

Skyrim is probably, arguably, the most successful role-playing video game to date, and Starfield promises to be Skyrim in Space. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/wuthering-waves-forgery-challenges-how-to-unlock-rewards/ Mon, 22 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/wuthering-waves-forgery-challenges-how-to-unlock-rewards/ Wuthering Waves Forgery Challenges: How to unlock, rewards If you’re looking for weapon upgrade materials, you’ll want to unlock Forgery Challenges.

This means players will have to rely on the mini-map or interrupt their gameplay by pulling up the full map- the latter of which can really break immersion sometimes, depending on the game. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-is-getting-a-tabletop-role/ Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/diablo-is-getting-a-tabletop-role/ Diablo is getting a tabletop role-playing game adaptation and a board game The Gates of Hell open in 2024.

Video game movies and TV shows are all the rage these days, with adaptations coming out of Hollywood left, right, and centre, and Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t exactly a stranger to that either with its anime spin-off Edgerunners. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/were-never-getting-an-official-disco-elysium-sequel-but-some-of-its-original-developers-are-at-least/ Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/were-never-getting-an-official-disco-elysium-sequel-but-some-of-its-original-developers-are-at-least/ We’re never getting an official Disco Elysium sequel, but some of its original developers are at least working on the next best thing The leads of the now-canceled Disco Elysium sequel, and original members of the development team, are working on a spiritual successor Image credit:VG247 Nearly five years since the game launched, Disco Elysium has something of a rotten legacy.

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida shared a message today announcing that the game will in fact be getting some DLC, and there’s a new update out now too. Prior to the release of Final Fantasy 16, DLC wasn’t outright promised, but Square Enix had said it would consider it depending on the reception to the game. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/final-fantasy-16-will-take-you-about-35-hours-to-beat-70/ Sat, 13 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/final-fantasy-16-will-take-you-about-35-hours-to-beat-70/ Final Fantasy 16 will take you about 35 hours to beat, 70-80 hours to complete Plenty to do, it seems!

Maybe. Image credit:VG247 There are many places across both Remake and Rebirth that you can point to this sort of thing; a place where the new games lack the bite of the original. The most obvious example up until now is FF7 ’s ‘Trail of Blood’, a truly iconic and creepy sequence in the original game that, in the modern version, replaces streaks of blood throughout previously shiny and sanitized corporate offices with a sort of weird glowing purple alien goo. https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-review-ambitious-joyous-and-bursting-with-an-energy-ff-hasnt-had-since-the-9/ Sat, 13 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://vg247om.pages.dev/posts/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-review-ambitious-joyous-and-bursting-with-an-energy-ff-hasnt-had-since-the-9/ Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review: Ambitious, joyous, and bursting with an energy FF hasn’t had since the 90s For better and worse alike, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the most impressively ambitious game Square has made since FF’s golden age.
