Blizzard initially feared World of Warcraft would only "be successful for five years," says former VC Jeff Kaplan
It's been over 20 years since we first set foot in Azeroth, and World of Warcraft, despite its dips and troughs, has more than stood the test of time. However, Blizzard was skeptical it would make it this far, and as former VC Jeff Kaplan tells Lex Fridman in a fresh interview, it was this internal worry that sparked Project Titan, an ill-fated MMO that was ultimately...
RE9 Insanity mode - all differences, items, and how to unlock
RE9 Insanity mode - all differences, items, and how to unlock
What is RE9 Insanity mode? We love a challenge, but Requiem's hardest difficulty mode can test the most seasoned zombie slayer. Between tough enemies that take entire clips of ammo to take down, plus a restrictive save system, a successful playthrough on Insanity mode requires a ton of preparation.
If you're familiar with the Madhouse or Nightmare modes of earlier horror games, you'll already have some idea of what awaits you...

Slay the Spire 2 Ironclad character guide - strategy, builds, and tier list
How do you play The Ironclad in Slay the Spire 2? The Ironclads were a fierce group of warriors who had been at war with rival clans for centuries. In hopes of swinging the odds in their favor, The Ironclad sought power from divine forces to help his clan succeed.

All LoL skins tiers, how to get them on sale
All LoL skins tiers, how to get them on sale
What are all of the League of Legends skin tiers, and how do you get cosmetics cheap? As Riot's MOBA continues to expand, it's a legitimate question to ask. I remember the good ol' days when there were only Deluxe, Epic, Legendary, and Ultimate skins; now there's Transcendent, Mythic Variants, Exalted - the list feels like it goes on and on. If you're a returning player who's wondering what the heck has happened, or a brand new one confused...

Demonfall codes March 2026
March 12, 2026: If you want Sabito Haori, do we have the new Demonfall code for you.
What are the new Demonfall codes? There is no shortage of anime games on Roblox, but Demonfall looks to fully embrace its Demon Slayer inspirations by letting you fight for survival in the name of humanity or to become a demon with unholy powers. No matter which way, keeping up to date on the availability of codes that may offer important boosts in the game is...
Marathon slides out of Steam's top 50 most-played games just a week on from its promising launch
Marathon slides out of Steam's top 50 most-played games just a week on from its promising launch
After drumming up a decent amount of excitement in the final months before launch (a stark contrast to the skepticism it was met with after playtests last year) Marathon has burst onto the extraction shooter scene with plenty of glowing endorsements. However, while we don't officially know what constitutes a success in Bungie and Sony's eyes, it's not drawing in the same kind of crowds as...
2026's "lesbian knight game," 1348 Ex Voto, is short on lesbians
2026's "lesbian knight game," 1348 Ex Voto, is short on lesbians
I've got a bone to pick with the internet. Specifically, the corner of the internet that's very angry 1348 Ex Voto exists. You see, all this time I've been unironically referring to it by its alternative title, coined by its earliest detractors: "the lesbian knight game." It's a neat shorthand for a story-driven action-adventure that doesn't have the most memorable name. It's also wildly inaccurate.

Crimson Desert adds confirmation of Denuvo DRM to its Steam page a week out from launch
Crimson Desert adds confirmation of Denuvo DRM to its Steam page a week out from launch
Crimson Desert has long had its optimistic fans - those that play its MMO predecessor, Black Desert Online, for example. But in recent months, it feels like everyone's squeezed aboard the Crimson Desert hype train - its scale, visuals, deep combat offering, and decision to make it a huge, MMORPG-lite single-player game has seen interest snowball. While I've still got my reservations about the...

Who is the new League of Legends champion? Rumors, leaks, and latest news
Who is the new League of Legends champion? As the MOBA's roster continues to expand (it currently sits at a colossal 172), Riot has admitted that it's planning to release less champions per year.
Ahead of the highly anticipated League Next update, which in many ways sounds like a sequel without the generic '2,' the developer is adjusting its champion release cadence dramatically, which is bad news for those of you...

Valve has "serious concerns" with New York Attorney General's loot box lawsuit
Valve has come out with a strongly worded public statement after being hit with a lawsuit from New York's Attorney General, Letitia James, which alleges that the company is "promoting illegal gambling" through its games.

Microsoft confirms 'Xbox Mode' rollout for Windows 11 and reveals more plans for PC-console hybrid Project Helix
Microsoft has certainly been keen to impress at this year's GDC, laying out its vision for Xbox's future during its Developer Summit keynote. While we're still going to have to wait a while for Project Helix, judging from what's been said, the Xbox team isn't resting on its laurels. In fact, the first step towards the Helix era is set to arrive next month, as 'Xbox Mode,' a...

To celebrate Resident Evil Requiem, Fanatical's latest sale drops the series to its lowest prices yet - including the newest horror game
It's bizarre how much of a comeback the Resident Evil series has had in the last nine years. After 2012's Resident Evil 6 alienated most of the fanbase, the excellently scary RE7 and Village not only brought back old fans, but also welcomed newcomers into the nightmare, bringing back the classic elements for a modern generation. It also brought us to...
