In the same way that YouTube and Instagram are pushing vertical short-form video to try and keep up with Tiktok, it seems Call of Duty wants to emulate Fortnite as a game where you can be Goku doing the Griddy. CoD will be introducing skins straight out of Diablo 4 and other out-there fictional universes in its upcoming Halloween-themed season.

At least they kinda fit that vibe. Highlights of the wacky wave include Lady Diablo Lilith, a faceless angel guy named Inarius (not to be confused with the faceless angel guy named Tyrael I guess), Ash Williams from the Evil Dead, Skeletor (?), and Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, once again voiced by the inimitable Keith David.

I feel like I can’t get too mad at this goofy stuff, nobody’s forcing anybody to pay for it, and these skins will ca…

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Peter Molyneux, the mind behind the original Fable and Theme Park games, whose experiments with blockchain games and other shortcomings around promises made have seen his reputation take a few hits over the years. Perhaps worst of all, this is the man that promised us acorns that sprout into oak trees in Fable, but that never manifested.

The betrayal, it still stings.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Molyneux goes into some detail about what he’s been doing since the controversy around his game, Curiosity, cooled off. This was a game that promised to deliver a life-changing experience for the winner, but instead left them feeling disappointed, and has been a source of much contention for his work over the years. 

“The press u…

Broadly speaking, when you play Magic: The Gathering via its digital incarnation in Arena, you choose a format to decide whether you want to play with just new cards (Standard), a mix of new and old cards (Historic), or a mix of new and old cards but none older than the popular Return to Ravnica block (Explorer). There are other formats like Brawl, which lets you add more players, or Alchemy, which includes digital-only cards, but if you want to play a traditional one-on-one game of constructed Magic in Arena just like you would at the table, those are the three formats you pick from.

Until now. With the new Timeless format, Arena has yet another way to play.  “We are creating Timeless as a home for MTG Arena’s most powerful cards”, senior product manager Dave Finseth wrote o…

OneXPlayer is hardly a novice when it comes to portable PCs, as it has been producing handheld devices and tablets for over six years, originally under the name of One-Notebook. Now it’s bringing Intel’s Meteor Lake CPUs to its portfolio with the X1, the latest range-topper for the OneXPlayer OneXPlorer Series of handheld PCs. It’s not the smallest thing you’ll ever see but the feature set might help it stand out from the very busy crowd of PC gaming-on-the-go machines.

OneXPlayer first dropped hints to the X1 project last December but the official crowdsourced funding campaign under way, I was hoping for more details. Well, colour me disappointed because the retail prices and full specifications are still shrouded in mystery.

But what we do know is that all of the processin…

One trailer at this week’s Future Games Show (embedded above, or on YouTube) was not like the others. Outside of some obvious throwbacks to classic game genres, particularly retro RPGs, Dome-King Cabbage bears little resemblance to the other games we’ve seen at Gamescom so far. It’s described on its Steam page as “a visual novel set in the world of a monster-collecting RPG,” but that phrase does little to indicate the surreal mixed media variety show the trailer makes it out to be.

Every frame is full of things to puzzle over and raises more questions than it answers. Why does the angel guy have no skin over his flesh, why is this VW bug driving over a brick road in the sky, and why are there copyrights for ’95, ’96, and ’98 floating across the bottom of the screen? It’s fanciful …

Palworld continues its runaway success, and after selling more than 6 million copies in just four days the developers now have another reason to celebrate: it’s managed to grab the second spot in Steam’s most played games when it comes to all-time peak concurrents. 

The critter-based survival game is giving every other game in the history of Steam a run for its money today, reaching a peak concurrent player count of 1,864,421. Not only does that make it Steam’s most popular game right now, it also secures its legacy as the game with the second highest all-time peak concurrent player count, stealing the spot from Counter-Strike 2 by a handful of people. 

With Palworld only launching last week, it may continue its ascent, though it has steep competition: PUBG current…

Streamer Pointcrow has won gold for conceiving of the daftest way to play Elden Ring. FromSoft’s magnum opus is an open world of exceptional scale and grandeur, a majestic achievement in the fantasy genre and PCG’s game of the year in 2022. Pointcrow has engineered a setup whereby this feat of human imagination and engineering can be played by a goldfish (first spotted by GamesRadar+).

It’s Pointcrow’s own pet goldfish, which goes by the name of Tortellini. To deal with the elephant in the room before we get onto the fish, it clearly cannot be said that Tortellini is ‘playing’ Elden Ring in any meaningful way. Sorry to say this but goldfish are not noted for their brains, personality, memory, or twitch reflexes.

Instead think of Tortellini as something of an accidenta…
