Alongside its Aftermath expansion next week, Mortal Kombat 11 is getting something a lot snugglier.

The friendship finishers are coming as a free update for MK11 next week but NetherRealm are showing off

Let it not be said that Terraria failed to go out with a bang. Dropping today, Journey’s End is an exhaustive final update for Re-Logic’s venerable block-building sandbox.

If you go around cramming your pockets full of monsters, accidents will happen. Just look at Cassette Beasts, a newly-announced Pokémon-ish battler where critters can temporarily fuse together into powerful new forms.

Are you ready to take control of Gollum to go on a grand adventure? It’s certainly a unique approach to Tolkien’s misshapen character, and with Lord of the Rings: Gollum you can pilot the damned creature yourself. One of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind since this game was announced was the obvious – how

For the next two weeks, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is swapping out hostages and bombs for safeboxes full of… well it doesn’t actually say what they’re full of. I imagine it’s money, or gold, or something that old-timey English gangsters like, because it’s all part of the Grand Larceny event, inspired by 1920s British

Star Wars Day always brings several surprises. I suspected we’d get a tease for The Mandalorian‘s second season today, but instead got something even better: news that Taika Waititi is directing a new Star Wars film! We also learned a new Disney+ Star Wars series is on the way from Leslye Headland. We don’t know

The sea’s a pretty messed up place, ain’t it? A vast, practically-bottom expanse of mother nature’s weirdest and deadliest experiments, piled in together and told to work it all out themselves. A short, pay-what-you-want release from devs Maceo Bob Mair and Nicolás Delgado, Swallow The Sea (available on Itch) captures that horror by following a

There are lots of things that look quite promising about Glumberland’s cute town sim Ooblets. There’s fashion, gardening, dance battles, and house decorating, Here’s one more thing to like: a map.

Me and Legends Of Runeterra had been drifting away from each other, like lovers on flotsam tugged apart by cruel ocean currents. We’d ran out of surprises.

Ubisoft was very active in supporting the release of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but it appears that the publisher is finally ready to show off where we’ll be headed next, now that the adventures in ancient Greece have concluded. A live stream is underway that will pull back the curtain on the next setting for the

As much as I think Destiny 2‘s Guardian Games is a disappointing grind-o-rama, I must concede that the event’s merch is cool. For each of the three classes, Bungie are selling a little supporter’s pack with a scarf, a felt pennant, and an enamel pin. I don’t buy merch but even I will concede that’s

Publisher 2K isn’t putting out a WWE 2K21 this year, but wrestling fans can still take a bump in WWE 2K Battlegrounds this fall.

Patrick’s Parabox is too smart for me. Granted, regular Sokoban is often too smart for me, but thanks to a very simple concept, Patrick Traynor’s recursive boxes are creating mazes within mazes – tiles that transcend dimensions as my headache turns into a full-blown migraine. While he’s not ready to unleash his Paraboxes onto the

Apex Legends is getting a bit of a shakeup for the end of season four. Starting next Tuesday, April 28th, Respawn Entertainment are adding a two week Battle Armor event taking place on the King’s Canyon map. You’ll drop in with the same tier armor as everyone else and you won’t find new armor as

During an investor call on yesterday, the WWE confirmed that this year’s installment of 2K Games’ WWE 2K franchise is not happening.

Through Xbox Series X, Microsoft is launching its next-generation of video games later this year. We know of the Series X’s power and base capabilities, but we don’t know much about the games that will be adapted for this high-end hardware.

If you need some more period piece stealth to tide you over until Desperados 3, stealth platformer Wildfire might just do it. As one of few magic users left in the world, you’ll use your abilities to burn, freeze, and grow the environment as you protect villagers and outwit the enemies hunting you down. It’ll
