It leverages the HTML5 Canvas API for high-performance rendering of isometric graphics, featuring complex systems for economic simulation, trains, planes, seaplanes, helicopters, cars, pedestrians, and more.
There is a simple answer to the best way to play Fallout: New Vegas, but the answer itself isn't what I would call simple or easy. The best way to play this classic RPG is on PC and with a ton of mods. Thankfully, there's a very handy guide out there that I used recently to turn New Vegas's somewhat messy PC port into a fine-tuned experience: The Viva New Vegas comprehensive mod guide.
Haunted Chocolatier is the next game from the creator of Stardew Valley, one of the most successful and adored cozy RPGs ever made.

But the wait is leading to all sorts of speculation, so developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone recently took to the game's website to dispel the unfounded rumors in a new blog post.
Nexon, the publisher behind MapleStory and Embark Studios' Arc Raiders , has apologised for what they describe as a "serious breach of trust" and announced that it's offering MapleStory: Idle RPG players full refunds for all in-game purchases made since the game's release. MapleStory: Idle RPG , a free-to-play mobile spin-off of Nexon's chibi-style MMORPG MapleStory , raked in a reported $100 million in in-game purchases within the first 45 days of its release on November 6, 2026.
Fans of co-op beat-'em-ups and fictional bass players who kind of suck as human beings might want to mark March 3 on their calendars. That's when Scott Pilgrim EX is set to hit PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Developer and publisher Tribute Games announced the release date in a new trailer, which also revealed two more playable characters: Matthew Patel (a member of the League
"I feel like with Anthem, it heavily relies on online data that was stored in Bioware's server," Andersson added. "In my initial testing, the game couldn't load into the level without that data."
In the opening hours of Code Vein II , you'll obtain your bike/motorcycle that can be whipped out at almost any time when you're out traversing the open world. It's obviously much faster than running around, but it also has some utility. If you're fast enough, you can ram straight through enemies, dealing a small amount of damage to them. So if you're in an area where you just want to skip all the enemies, just hop on your bike and charge through.
This episode opens with a sequence of two women running through a snowy forest while being chased. When one of them is shot, we learn just who they are: Steph, the now-eyepatched future Overseer of Vault 33, and a woman we learn to be her mother. Her mother is shot, and she tells Steph to do whatever it takes to make it to America no matter who stands in her way. "They're not humans," she says. "They're Americans."
Grand Theft Auto 6 may not get a physical version at launch and instead stick to a digital release initially. Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games are said to be planning on holding off on GTA 6's physical release to avoid early leaks and spoilers. The open world crime title is set to come out on November 19, 2026, but Take-Two has not yet detailed the editions and versions that will be available at launch.
Streetdog BMX isn't trying to revive the glory days of BMX games, nor is it chasing mass appeal. It's a deliberately fiddly, skill-focused take on BMX riding, aimed squarely at players who enjoy mastery more than spectacle. And like real-life riding, that first crash is the key moment - because you're either going to toss the fucking thing in the trash, or grind like a madman and try again.
Like those games, it takes place in an open-world Gotham with Bruce gliding and grappling around as he finds thugs to beat up and Riddler puzzles to solve. When he's on the ground, the mini-figure Batman rides around on a motorcycle and in the Batmobile, and in combat, he throws almost rhythmic punches, kicks, and parries like he does in the games.
It's no secret that with successes like the Emmy nominated series The Last of Us, video games are being adapted in the entertainment industry at a rapid pace. Bella Ramsey portrayed the iconic Ellie on the show, one of the most influential queer characters in video game history. Although showrunner Craig Mazin recently ruled out a spin-off for the iconic characters, Bill and Frank, in the The Last of Us series, there are many more queer characters in video games
but thanks to the opening of Pokemon's first ever amusement park on 5 February, this year, they are likely to come earlier. Unlike the rollercoaster-filled thrills of Tokyo Disney Sea or Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, PokePark Kanto is essentially a forest populated by models of the creatures from the perennially popular games. Nestled in the quiet Tokyo suburb of Inagi, half an hour from the city centre, the park is a walkable forest with more than 600 Pokemonin it.

Double Fine has been on a tear with its smaller projects lately. The popular indie game developer is following up last year's atmospheric adventure game with a new title in a totally different direction. As its Double Fine founder Tim Schaefer attempted to say five times fast during today's Xbox Developer Direct, is an "online multiplayer pottery party brawler" that boasts exactly the sort of colorful, clever fun that fans have come to expect from the studio.
TR-49 is analogy rendered in four dimensions. On a surface level, it's a game about sorting through an archive of written works and commentary that has you identifying dozens of excerpts and documents, all with the aim of destroying a particular work. Beneath the surface, however, this is a piece of art that speaks viciously and satirically to so much of our reality.
Forza Horizon 6 is taking the racing series to Japan for the first time, and now we know exactly when you'll be able to hit the virtual streets of Tokyo. The game will arrive on Xbox Series X/S, PC and Xbox Cloud on May 19, with an early access period commencing on May 15. That lines up with earlier reports about the release date(s) after an in-game ad supposedly appeared in Forza Horizon 5. The upcoming title will hit PS5 later this year.

The plan is split into four months, covering January to April, collectively dubbed Escalation. We're expecting a content update each month, with the majority of the biggest additions happening on the game's existing maps. There is, however, at least one new map in the works, but it won't be here until sometime in April.
If you've grown up with Pokémon , you have no doubt dreamt of waking up in the universe. That's a pipe dream, but if you can make it to Tokyo, you can get a facsimile of this experience at PokéPark Kanto, a new theme park opening on February 5. In the months since The Pokémon Company announced the attraction, we've mostly only seen mock-ups of what the park was going to look like .
While the video game industry is now larger than the movie and music businesses combined, it began with a simple game created as a training project. Al Alcorn, Atari's first engineer and the inventor of Pong, will talk about the early history of Atari and how Pong launched the video game industry at a Feb. 9 Speaker Night at the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum.
From the trailer alone, there are quite a few other noticeable differences from the previous games, like the lack of character names on the combat screen, as well as the whopping eight party members in combat at once. In previous games, while you have a full party of eight as the name would imply, you'd only select four of them to actually fight at once.
