Lost Ark: South Korea’s most exciting MMOs is getting localized my Amazon Games
I wouldn’t blame you if you’ve never heard of Raiders of Lost Ark. It’s a free-to-play MMO that was previously only available in South Korea, Russia, and Japan, but Amazon said today that it will work with developer Smilegate RPG to bring it to North America and Europe this autumn.

Metal Slug Tactics: what the heck?
Dotemu, the independent publisher responsible for legendary ’90s game revivals such as Streets of Rage 4, is back with a game I had no idea was coming: Metal Slug Tactics. The game, which was announced today at the Summer Game Fest, is billed on Steam as “a dynamic tactical RPG with roguelike aspects.” Metal Slug […]

Death Stranding, PC Gamer’s 2020 Game of the Year, is getting an upgrade in the form of a Director’s Cut version, with the complete announcement expected “weeks away,” according to Geoff Keighley, who disclosed the news via a video that disclosed very little about what to anticipate.

Rogue Spirit: Possess enemies and fight a demonic army.
My attention is drawn to the surroundings. I’m immediately captivated by Rogue Spirit’s bright world of Midra, which has a very Asian flair, just as I was to the initial pictures of games like Genshin Impact and Biomutant. Rogue Spirit, on the other hand, has more in common with Genshin Impact than simply its beautiful […]
Overwatch crossplay open beta coming soon
Blizzard stated “no intentions” for cross-platform play in Overwatch five years ago, warning that “mixing mouse/keyboard and the controller can have balanced and competitive concerns.” Two years later, opinions had altered slightly, and game director Jeff Kaplan stated that he was “hoping for more cross-platform options” to help “bring gamers together”—despite the fact that there […]
