Capcom is finally letting Dragon's Dogma 2 players begin a brand-new game after previously starting an adventure, something that surprisingly wasn't available when the action-RPG launched earlier this month. It's one of the major focuses of an update that's now available on PS5 and PC. The patch should arrive on Xbox Series X|S "in the next few days."
Other notable tweaks to Dragon's Dogma 2 as part of the official patch notes include being able to obtain a dwelling earlier in the game and...
Certain Affinity, an independent game developer known for assisting on mega-franchises like Call of Duty and Halo, has laid off a significant number of workers in just the latest example of mass layoffs in the video game industry.
In a blog post, CEO Max Hoberman said the video game industry has faced "unprecedented challenges" in the past 12 months, and Certain Affinity is not immune to those issues. In response, Certain Affinity is laying off 25 of its US-based workers. The majority of...
Development on the The Witcher 4--codenamed Polaris--has taken another step forward, as CD Projekt Red revealed that it has 403 employees working on it. Earlier this year, joint CEO Adam Badowski had mentioned how he was aiming to have "around 400" people on the next mainline Witcher game. This is roughly two-thirds of CDPR's workforce, and according to joint CEO Michal Nowakowski (via VGC), this will allow the production phase of the game to begin later this year.

The newly released MLB The Show 24 has turned into a horror show after its latest patch, with multiple players sporting warped and distorted faces. From features clipping through players' caps to eyes bugging out from strangely squished faces, the frankly hilarious glitch has added some unintentional comedy to San Diego Studio's baseball sim.
Only certain players seem to have been subjected to the facial glitches, which seem to squish a player's features in to result in weak chins and strange...
30+ independent studios are teaming up to put on a showcase for their games. Called the Triple-I Initiative, this April presentation will reveal what studios like Mega Crit Games (Slay the Spire), Red Hook Studios (Darkest Dungeon), Heart Machine (Hyper Light Drifter), and Evil Empire (Dead Cells) are working on next, among many others.
The initiative was kicked off by Evil Empire, which first approached many of the studios at last year's Gamescom to pitch the concept. "The goal is to have a...
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire includes a metric ton of outlandish monster-on-monster action, which is obviously the main draw. But it's also a movie that's dense with story and lore about Kong and his people, and the seemingly timeless humans who used to live on Skull Island. And, on top of that, it sets up a new status quo in Warner Bros' MonsterVerse that opens up some interesting possibilities for a franchise endgame, should they decide to go that direction from here.
Let's talk about...

Indie game developer and publisher Crescent Moon Games and Those Dang Games recently revealed its latest game, Screenbound. What's especially unique about this game is that it's played in both 2D and 3D.
A video posted to X/Twitter by @ JakeSucky showcases firsthand how the game runs. Players control a person playing a Game Boy-like system while running around certain obstacles. But the catch is that whenever the player moves, their Game Boy character will also move, and on top of that, the...

First-party Nintendo Switch controllers aren't cheap, and they don't commonly receive meaningful discounts. The Switch Pro Controller clocks in at $70 and a pair of Joy-Con are more expensive at $80. Things are a bit better today, however, as several great Switch controllers are discounted at Walmart, including a nice $10 discount on the Switch Pro Controller and a massive $16 discount (very rare) on the Pastel Purple/Green and Pastel Pink/Yellow controllers.
