Pollen—officially P.O.L.L.E.N., but we’ll be sticking with the more conventional styling—is a first-person alt-history sci-fi exploration game that drops players into the middle of a “mysterious, mind-bending situation” on the Saturnian moon of Titan. It’s coming to Steam on April 20, and also to the Oculus Rift as a “near-final VR beta,” and the video above...
In keeping with April 1 tradition, the Super Adventure Box has returned to Guild Wars 2, but with a twist: this year, it’s the Super Adventure Festival. The Festival incorporates Worlds 1 and 2 of the retro platformer-themed Adventure Box in Normal, Infantile and Tribulation modes, Super Adventure furniture for guild halls, orange SAB weapon skins and a...
Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture has at last been confirmed for PC after a long stint on PS4. We suspected it was on its way: the first hint was Rapture’s appearance in a SteamDB listing—an entry that was updated as time wore on. All but confirming things, a recent AMD Radeon driver update listed Rapture support. Now we have...
The biggest event in the Dota calendar looms once again. Tickets for The International 2016 will go on sale April 7 at 10am PT and 10pm PT (April 7 at 6PM BST and April 8 at 6AM BST) ahead of the main event at Seattle’s KeyArena August 8-13. This year there are two ticketing options: the Midweek ticket gets...
Welcome to your April 1 coverage, where nothing is true and I’m wondering why I showed up to work. That said, I feel safe sharing news of Atlas Reactor’s open alpha with you—because it started yesterday. Atlas reactor is a tough one to explain, but exciting in concept. It’s Overwatch meets XCOM, but definitely neither of those things. Imagine...
Ubisoft has announced that the first of two free “Incursion” expansions will come to The Division on April 12. Entitled “Falcon Lost,” it will take place in an underground water treatment facility that now serves as a stronghold for the Last Man Battalion, and feature four new rare gear sets, each one tailored to a...
The folk at Larian Studios are working on Divinity: Original Sin II, but they’re also working on amusing videos such as the one embedded above. Ostensibly an update on the sequel’s development, CEO Swen Vicke also takes the opportunity to gently rib the fashion sense of people working in the VR industry. Oh, and apparently there’s...
Dark Souls 3 doesn’t come out for another two weeks in most of the world, but it’s been out since March 24 in Japan. That means speedrunners have already descended upon it, and they’ve gotten really good. While our reviewer James has already put 50+ hours into it over the last couple of weeks (you can read...
Remember that awful Doom movie with The Rock and Karl Urban? Bethesda Softworks remembers. You can tell, because the new live-action teaser for the upcoming Doom FPS is nothing like it. To be fair, it’s only a minute long, as opposed to the torturous 105 minutes of the film, but it gets right to the...
Here’s a sentence I never expected I’d have the opportunity to type: The new Baldur’s Gate RPG Siege of Dragonspear is now live. The release date was announced at the beginning of March so this isn’t a surprise, but even so, it’s great to lay eyes on a new Baldur’s Gate trailer. And to hear...
