The leaks are true: Assassin's Creed Shadows is hitting the Switch 2 this December. The catch? The "physical version" is just another useless plastic box with a download code inside.

Just when you thought the Pokémon leaks couldn't get any crazier, Game Freak's entire five-year plan spills onto the internet. Get ready for procedurally generated islands, survival mechanics, and a villain who's apparently a real estate developer.

The director of The Outer Worlds 2 just said what we've all been screaming for years: we want our RPGs to have some goddamn meat on their bones. It's about time someone in charge got the message.

I've just had my ass handed to me by a pair of dice for the fifth time in a row. Dice Legends is a beautiful game that will make you want to throw your monitor out the window.

In a moment of beautiful, unfiltered honesty, the guy now in charge of Battlefield just admitted that Call of Duty was only created because his current employer, EA, were "dicks." You can't make this stuff up.

I just played a $10 game that has more personality and better jokes than most AAA titles. Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion is a chaotic, foul-mouthed, hand-drawn fever dream, and I think I'm in love.

I just played the Painkiller demo, and I think I pulled a muscle from dashing, hooking, and blasting my way through Purgatory. It feels so damn good to have this series back.

The budgets for the next big Pokémon games just leaked, and they're so low I had to check if they were a typo. It seems Nintendo's strategy is to spend as little as humanly possible on one of the biggest franchises on Earth.

In a shocking turn of events that surprised absolutely no one, Randy Pitchford's promise that Borderlands 4 wouldn't be on sale for "a long time" expired after about thirty days.

I just played the Backrooms: Exit from Supermarket demo for Steam Next Fest. It's a terrifying game of hide-and-seek where making too much noise gets you fired... from life.

I just clocked in for my first shift at the Vanderboom estate in the Servant of the Lake demo. The pay is probably terrible, but the surreal puzzles are to die for.

I just survived a few days in the MISERY demo, a game that feels like STALKER and Lethal Company had a beautiful, janky baby. It's broken in all the right ways.

I just blasted my way through the GAZAR demo and I think my brain is still vibrating. If you miss the days of high scores and relentless alien fleets, you need to play this.

I thought my old retail job was hell, but the HELLMART demo introduced me to a whole new level of terror involving strange customers and a monster that really, really wants to meet me.

I just played the INDUSTRIA 2 demo, and it feels like the lovechild of Half-Life and a German art-house film. It's janky as hell right now, but damn, the potential is off the charts.

Clear your schedule and your hard drive. The October Steam Next Fest has arrived, bringing with it a tidal wave of free demos for upcoming games. Your backlog is about to get a whole lot bigger.

While you were busy dying, the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 community has been busy breaking the game so thoroughly that they shattered the director's own speedrun record. Oh, and he says you still haven't found all the real secrets.

So you've decided to dive into the beautiful, brutal world of Absolum and you're getting your ass handed to you. Don't worry. This is your crash course in not dying immediately.

Lost Rift tries to be two games at once: a chill co-op survival game and a hardcore, full-loot extraction shooter. It's an ambitious, fascinating, and deeply flawed experiment that you will either love or violently despise.

So you and your friends were all set to live out your retail management dreams, only to get hit with a "code 9" error. Don't refund the game just yet. Here's how to actually fix it.
