Styx: Blades of Greed isn't releasing in 2025 after all, but that's okay, because it's got a firm release date now

"Where the hell did that goblin go?" asks a mean knight of some sort whose English accent is of questionable authenticity at the beginning of the latest trailer for Styx: Blades of Greed. This is a reasonable question! When the goblin stealth game was revealed earlier this year, it was slated for a 2025 release, except the rest of the year is in very short supply. So, this trailer acts as a double way: a confirmation of a delay, and the announcement of a proper release date. Read more

CD Projekt plan to release The Witcher 4, 5, & 6 within six years of one another, and oh, are those pigs flying?

If a CEO says their company is going to do that something sounds ridiculously unrealistic, or borderline unachievable if you actually take a second to think about it, you can probably assume that this is for the ears of shareholders. With that said, CD Projekt Red recently held a financial call (thanks, IGN), where co-CEO Michał Nowakowski made some comments about The Witcher 4… and The Witcher 5 and 6, all of which are apparently planned to be released within a six-year period.

The 100 best PC games of all time in 2025

Since 1873, the team at Rock Paper Shotgun have gathered once a year to select what they believe to be the best PC games of all time. Admittedly, they only started writing the list down in 2021, but try not to hold their spotty recordkeeping against them. Read more

Fortnite chapter seven: Pacific Break adds self-revives and "self-build", as its art faces AI use allegations

Fortnite's latest skin-shedding has seen the battle royale take on a more Hollywood-ish guise, with the new Pacific Break map parodying the American west coast. Epic have also taken the chance to add in self-revive items you can use to bring yourself back from the brink and an option which makes building simpler. Meanwhile, the update's rollout has seen one of the artists who created some graffiti of Back to the Future protagonist Marty McFly have to produce video evidence that their art wasn't

Wonder of Blue is a very pretty, startlingly hard Alice in Wonderland dungeon crawler, with zero American McGees

I'm still a little burned-out on Carrollian adaptations after Nightingale, but I will not let that tarnish my enjoyment of Wonder of Blue, a fey 2D labyrinth roguelite based on fiction's most famous Alice after Alice Bee (RPS in peace). It features a lovely selection of pixelart colour palettes, and some pleasingly tricksy enemies. You play Liddell – yes, I too had forgotten Alice's second name isn’t “in Wonderland” – and you are trying to navigate a series of proc

Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil, the full Imperial expansion from the devs of Skyrim's massive Bruma mod, gets a bird chatter-heavy teaser

Right, so. There's Oblivion Remastered, the official Oblivion remaster which released earlier this year. There's Skyblivion, the fan-made Oblivion remake mod which still currently looks due out relatively soonish, despite its release window having been a source of drama a few months ago. There's also Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil, another massive Skyrim modding project, but this time seeking to re-create the province in which Oblivion's set as it might be at the time The Elder Scrolls five takes plac

GTA 6's wholesome Boris Bike docking revealed in alleged WIP Rockstar portfolio video

Over the weekend, Grand Theft Auto 6’s legions of fan weather-watchers spotted a portfolio reel created by former Rockstar animator Benjamin Chue that includes what appears to be some WIP stuff from GTA 6. Assuming the leak is legitimate, this isn’t nearly an eruption on the scale of the 2022 GTA 6 leaks: it contains a couple of extremely non-final animations from the forthcoming open world game. One is of deuteragonist Lucia Caminos jumping out of a pick-up truck, which seems lik

Kill this tractor so you won't have to awkwardly ring your parents, Keep Driving's tyres squeal

Keep Driving captures the dream of a road trip, a coming of age experience where you’re finally able to start motoring around the world in your own set of wheels. Your sense of wonder’s still intact and each place you visit on brings fresh surprises. But the game isn't a schmaltzy dip into wanderlust, or a blinkered memory of youth and a lack of responsibilities. Lurking in the background is the nervousness of inexperience, which transforms mundane tasks into nightmares you must ov

This week in PC games: Marvel beat 'em ups, Nightdive shooter revivals and a festive selection of horror games

November is...done! The tawdry moveable feast that is Videogaming shudders and rolls beyond the canopy, out into the whitening dunes and fathoms of December. Now for revelry! Strike your trumpets! Blow your drums! Possibly the other way round! The folk of game development exit their wagons and sprint weeping amongst the dissipating trees. A bunch of narrative and game designers put on eight-inch stilettos and form a high-kicking cabaret line. The stilettos fly off and perforate Take-Two's entir
