Now under the Devolver Digital umbrella, the game is going live on Steam for $19.96 tomorrow, but bargain hunters can find a 21% off pre-orderdiscountavailable.

I’m pretty sure that everyone and their mother is playing a certain other game right now (rhymes with beers at four – poo), but, surprise, there are other releases that have come out that may be worth your attention, such as Spark Unlimited’sLegendary. As the only werewolf-hunting, griffin-killing, golem-destroying action FPS on the market, the title certainly has a big chance to bring something new to the genre. But does the game live up to its title?...

Lovely In roughly an hour we’ll learn what the nextSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC character is. Given that Capcom told fans to look out forDevil May Cry-related Switch news today, it seemed like Dante was going to make the cut. But now that the publisher has revealed this fairly big news story regarding the upcomingDevil May Cry 3Switch port, I’m not so sure. As a reminder,Devil May Cry 3is coming to Switch soon, and Capcom isswitchinga few things up: in this case, for the better....

Knowledge is power, and you’re powerless With the most matter-of-fact teases, Devolver has told us that it has a lot up its sleeve next year. That’s it.

‘Nothing’s quite clicked yet’ While the games to movie craze isn’t anything new (your soul is mine!), more and more major companies are jumping on the bandwagon, with films forWarcraft, Assassin’s Creed, Angry Birds, andRatchet & Clankall slated for this year. But don’t expect Bethesda to jump on anytime soon. According to producer Todd Howard, the publisher has tried to adaptsomethingfor film, but “nothing has clicked” just yet. He says that it’s “stickier thanElder Scrolls,” and that it “may happen,” but no ideas have really made sense yet....

Single-player DLC is the bigger priority Doom Eternalis a game that will exhibit lots and lotsand lotsof murder. Yeah, going that far out on a limb can be questionable, but this limb feels pretty sturdy. (We’re talking metaphorical tree limbs, but there should also be lots and lotsand lotsof dismembered demon limbs.) For a game with this much violence, one of the first casualty is a feature from 2016’sDoom. During aroundtable interview at QuakeCon, director Marty Stratton confirmed that SnapMap won’t be included withDoom Eternal....

Time is a very valuable thing at E3, more so than money or energy or any other commodity. That’s part of why I always end uprunning around the show at the last minute. There is never enough time to play everything, and given the nature of today’s industry (filled with cancellations and studio closings) you never know if you’ll have the chance to play some of these games ever again. It’s a cardinal sin to waste someone’s time at E3, an unforgivable offense that can sour your mood almost instantly...

EA SportsCollege Football 26could become one of the biggest sports game launches this year, and we have a fair idea about when the game is going to be available.

Those opting for the Digital Deluxe Edition will get to enjoy early access, so let’s take a look at when you’ll be able to join the party....
