Worldless: Making a Game That Won’t Allow You To Die

Worldless is a game driven by its unique approach to combat and exploration – and part of that unique nature is that it makes it impossible to die at any point – but without losing a sense of challenge throughout. Let me explain how we achieved that.

Arma Reforger introduces immersive military simulator cross play to Xbox

I’ve been a fan of first-person shooters on console for longer than I’d like to admit (GoldenEye, anyone?), and I’ve been privileged enough to experience the exponential expansion of the selection of quality FPS titles on Xbox. But as someone who has always craved a more realistic and immersive military simulator experience, the Arma series has traditionally been my go-to.
