Ubisoft are reportedly tapped as one potential company that could acquire Arkane, though the Dishonored studio's own management may be in the running too
Things are potentially looking up for Arkane, depending on how you feel about Ubisoft (and depending on who actually ends up acquiring them). I mention the Assassin's Creed developer because, reportedly, they're interested in buying the studio from Microsoft, having even made a…

"Steam's review queue is clogged up by AI slop": Salacious Fire Emblem-ish Food Devils gets a delay because its devs think Valve is inundated with genAI games
You might have seen that for today's grub, Edwin decided to in part feed The Maw with Food Devils, an incredibly salacious, foodie take on Fire Emblem, as it was meant to release today. The only problem is, it's not actually out yet. That might prompt you to call Edwin a rotten…

The Citadel Project is a Thief-inspired dark fantasy, survival-horror lite stealth-em-up with some lovely shadows set in a medieval megastructure
You know, given the whole stealthy element of Thief-like immersive sims, I'm surprised there haven't been more of them with horror elements. There's Gloomwood , sure, but it's not as common as I'd like. That in turn then makes me curious about The Citadel Project, an immersive…

Silica, an FPS and RTS hybrid that mixes a smidge of Dune and Helldivers together, has left early access and entered 1.0
The concept of fusing an RTS and an FPS always sounds like a fun one, and since 2023 Martin Melichárek has been trying to make a new take on the combination under the watchful eye of DayZ devs Bohemia Interactive through Silica . Today marks the day that Silica leaves early…

Play as water and rain on wildfires in Atuel, a short, free game about the power and vulnerability of nature
Well, have you played Atuel? If not, you can do so within the next hour - it's a tiny, free, 25-minute walking sim, albeit one with little actual walking on account of you playing most of it as a river. More of a running sim, really. Read more

Frostpunk 2's The Surge DLC keeps the wintery apocalypse and adds in faction-clash-inducing electricity and sets a seasonally appropriate December release date
For the time being, the world of Frostpunk remains a hypothetical, even if it's one that seems just that little bit more likely than I'd like it to be given who's in charge of the world. But at the very least, there are pockets of hope to be found in Frostpunk 2 , namely with…

Venom-toothed Noxious Terminids are soon to infest Helldivers 2, and it's your noble job to sterilise the galaxy for Super Earth
Helldivers 2 isn't slowing down any time soon, and according to Edwin's recent interview with Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt, it'll continue to be Arrowhead's main priority for the future. As if Helldivers 2 wasn't full of enough horrors for our brave Super Earth Helldivers to…

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 3 has been announced, marking another attempt at a free-to-play team game after Gundam Evolution's unfortunate fate
Bandai Namco have released the initial announcement trailer for Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 3, a free-to-play team action game and a sequel to 2018's Battle Operation 2. The trailer is very, very pretty, showing off Gundam units clashing in large-scale battles and…

The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel teaser all but confirms Hammerfell setting and means we can finally stop using that eight year old header image with the hills
Praise Talos and whatever other Elder Scrolls deities you might worship. We here at RPS and in the wider gaming press finally have new material to use when hunting for images to symbolise The Elder Scrolls 6 . No more will we be limited to that shot of some hills from the 2018…

I'm sad that the Like A Dragon creator's new studio is closing, but I wish their now-cancelled debut Gang of Dragon wasn't just LAD again
Less than a year after the announcement of their first game, and only four years after the studio's creation, Gang of Dragon developers Nagoshi Studio have been dissolved by a shareholders' resolution (thanks, Gematsu .) That also means a premature end for Gang of Dragon, which…

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic's next DLC is set to expand the city building sim into the one place not corrupted by capitalism: SPACE
Following not the inherent liberal capitalistic framework of city builders like SimCity but instead a revolutionary (sorry) interpretation of planning and logistical simulation that prioritises centralisation and minute detail, Hooded Horse and 3DIVISION's Workers & Resources:…

Arc Raiders devs Embark insist that using genAI for voice lines was necessary, as "actors would just go crazy if they had to read all of that"
Despite taking the voice performances of actors and feeding them into machines to spurt out AI-generated mimicry, Embark CCO Stefan Strandberg insists that "we are not in the industry of replacing actors." In a new video posted to the Arc Raiders channel focused on audio design,…

"There’s always a night when Rome burns": South Of Midnight director says that Xbox funding it was "unsustainable", at least in hindsight
Compulsion Games parted ways with former owners Xbox , having landed on the long list of things Microsoft were determined to ditch as part of multi-round mass cuts this year. Now, South of Midnight creative director David Sears has suggested that an eventual pulling of the rug…

itch.io will soon let you filter games with genAI disclosures out of your search results on the site, after admitting it was previously "critically lacking"
itch.io has unfortunately, much like Steam, long had an issue with genAI content being uploaded in droves, drowning out perfectly good games made by human hands. The apparent standard method against this, voluntary genAI disclosure, has been itch's primary tool to combat this…

You can make a vampire hunter who's afraid of the dark, disease and small spaces in Hunter: The Reckoning - Deathwish, and that's surely the best way to play
A month or two back I penned a 1500 word whine about feeling too powerful in Blood of Dawnwalker. "Gimme a vampire sim in which I'm a pathetic vein-nibbling goblin," I wrote, using many more adjectives than that. Well, never let it be said that I'm biased against vampires, for I…

Fix up towering robots while battle rages outside in Bay 12: Mech Repair, a first-person job sim with some handsome heavy duty analog tech
The most important thing to know about Bay 12: Mech Repair is that these are mechs of the MechWarrior or possibly Patlabor school – that is, basically WW2 tanks on hydraulic legs, with cockpits full of switches and wireframe displays. Their bodies are assemblages of pistons and…

Fewer genAI clones of "someone else's specific game" should flood the net going forwards, as Anthropic tell Claude to stop messing with some stuff other people own
Anthropic have told their genAI tool Claude to start ducking requests from users to recreate or clone existing games, following a flood of folks using the tech to generate six-fingered remakes. Instead of risking infringing on the intellectual property of series or titles that…

This week in PC games: go helldiving in Gravhounds, wreck a hoverbike in Airframe Ultra, or feed humans to a cutaway spaceship in Hull Rupture
Recently, I managed to dupe that preposterous hack Julian into signing a form committing him to alternate weeks of Maw-feeding duty. How he whined last Monday, as we strapped him into his neoprene bodysuit. How he begged for mercy, as we handed him his 12-foot Gallium toasting…

After adding a whole new town to Fallout 4 last month, a group of modders have released another in their long string of extra quests for the RPG. This latest mission revolves around a dungeon delve in the Glowing Sea, where a mysterious bunker's just been unearthed. Read more

Skyblivion modders reveal a former volunteer is "threatening to sue for damages upwards of €30,000" over work on the unofficial Oblivion remake project
The team behind Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion are being threatened with legal action by a former volunteer on the project, according a video posted by current lead Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel. The situation looks like it'll need resolving before the mod, which was originally set to…
