Nightingale developer Inflexion Games has announced the closure of its UK office and the "restructuring" of its Canadian studio, saying its Victorian fantasy survival game's early access launch "hasn't been successful enough to continue [at our] previous size".

If you were thinking of slapping one of your old PlayStation 5 faceplates on your shiny new PS5 Pro when it launches on 7th November, Sony has some bad news for you; the company has now confirmed there's no compatibility between the two.

As if your games-to-movie adaptation plate wasn't already teetering dangerously with everything piled on it so far, Lionsgate has announced it's working on a film version of developer Red Barrels' survival horror series, Outlast.

Amid a raft of announcement for new Apple hardware this week, developer CD Projekt has announced its bringing open-world sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077 to Macs "early next year".

An unannounced Warzone map has seemingly leaked, and is explorable in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

After a decade of development and project restarts, the latest Dragon Age is finally here. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a direct sequel to 2014's Inquisition, and uses a dramatic evolution of that game's Frostbite technology, featuring ray tracing techniques and current-gen exclusivity. We've already covered the PC version and came away impressed with how the new release scales across a range of hardware, but where does that leave the consoles - especially the four teraflop Xbox Series S? And how have the game's ray tracing settings been adapted for console play?

SAG-AFTRA, the US actors' union, has signed an agreement with AI service Ethovox in a continued bid to safeguard performers.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle aims to run "smoothly" at 60fps across both Xbox Series X and its lesser-powered sibling, the Series S.

A second crack at Apex Legends isn't something EA is looking into at the current time.

Ubisoft has released its first-ever blockchain game, the tactical NFT battler Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles.

Nintendo subsidiary Mario Club Co., Ltd. isn't laying off employees.

With a name like Toilet Spiders, it's not exactly hard to work out what's going to be creeping you out in a game like this, or where those horrors are going to appear from. Really, it should be the least scary horror game you ever play, as you know exactly what you're up against the moment you load it up. But nothing, I'd argue, quite prepares you for the sheer number of possibilities that exist within this abandoned and blooded nuclear facility, as this is a place with a truly obscene number of toilets inside it, and a worrying number of important items to find beneath their grimy, cobwebbed lids.

Following the news Sony has closed Concord studio Firewalk, the live-service game's initial development deal reportedly cost $200m.

EA's CEO Andrew Wilson said Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a "return to what made BioWare great".

Pokémon TCG Pocket, the digital trading card game, is now available on mobile.

The Fade - the inherently unknowable spirit world that lurks at the corners of awareness in BioWare's Dragon Age series of games - fascinates me. It's a twisted and dreamy place of great magical power that people seek but which misleads and corrupts those who look for it. Anything that's happened in Dragon Age is linked to it, whether it's a hulking Archdemon from the Fade leading a Blight across the land, as in Dragon Age: Origins, or if it's a mage with a Fade spirit inside them igniting a war as in Dragon Age 2. Then of course in Dragon Age: Inquisition the sky tore open and the barrier between the Fade and the waking world was sundered, causing all kinds of mayhem. And now here we stand on the precipice of a fourth adventure, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which takes place inside the Fade itself, and which teases answers to some of the biggest questions in the game's universe. These are no trifling matters! We're talking about the creators of the world here, the gods, and the ancient secrets they hold.

Hey everyone, Tom here. We're doing a bit of work this week on Eurogamer's comments section, which will mean a short period when the ability to leave a comment will be paused.

The Sims 4 might be getting on a bit, what with having launched over a decade ago now, but that doesn't seem to have dulled interest in the long-running life sim series; EA just announced The Sims 4 has managed to gain over 15m new players this year alone.

If relentlessly amassing sticks and bopping rocks is starting to feel a little stale in Disney Dreamlight Valley, there's something new on the horizon. Developer Gameloft has unveiled The Storybook Vale, a second paid expansion for the village-life sim, that'll whisk players to a world of Greek myths, Scottish folktales, and more when it launches on 20th November.

Fntastic, the developer behind last year's widely derided zombie shooter The Day Before, is - having already been embroiled in controversy over its use of hundreds of unpaid vounteers - now asking community members to design maps to put in its next game as part of a newly announced "contest", but it won't be paying winners for their work.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a radical departure from the current AAA norm of releasing games on PC with half-baked or flat-out broken technical problems. It is polished with a smart user experience, it is smooth running where it counts - and as a PC version should, it offers noticeably higher fidelity than console equivalents, tapping into the strengths of the platform. It's a game that deserves praise - if not flat-out celebration - in that its execution is just so good, running well on mainstream hardware right up to the best of the best.

Firewalk Studios, the Sony-owned developer behind ill-fated PlayStation shooter Concord, has been shut down, and the game will remain permanently offline despite earlier suggestions it could return. Sony's mobile-focused developer Neon Koi has also been closed.

There often comes a point in No More Room in Hell 2 when you realise that you're screwed, and it usually arrives about five minutes before the inevitable occurs. Surrounded by shambling corpses, barricades shrieking under their literal dead weight, you'll be popping zombie heads with grim precision when cold reality sets in. Maybe it's the click of your revolver as its ammo runs dry that triggers the revelation, or a fellow survivor you barely know being overwhelmed by the horde. Maybe it's just the sight of another score of undead stumbling into silhouetted view. Either way, the feeling is the same: you're going to die, and no amount of struggle will prevent it.

Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has earned one of Steam's most impressive achievements for his own game.

If you want to sum up Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign in a single moment - and really all of Call of Duty in a way; this is quintessential CoD - then look no further than Ground Control, a mission roughly three-quarters of the way through the story.

Nintendo has announced Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, a souped up version of the acclaimed 2015 sci-fi action-RPG released on Wii U, which will bring enhanced visuals and more on its release next year.

Activision quality assurance staff who worked on the just-released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 staged a protest against the company's return-to-work policy.

Don't you just love it when a developer treats a renowned film series with the respect it deserves? Last year's Robocop: Rogue City was a great example of this recently, giving fans the chance to step into Robocop's, err, Roboboots and visit some of its most iconic locations, as well as meet up with familiar faces from the movies. Well, you can add Indiana Jones and the Great Circle to the list of great game film adaptations, as that's the exact vibe I got after playing three hours of MachineGames' upcoming Indy adventure at a recent press event.

Final Fantasy 14's Naoki Yoshida said personal abuse sent to Wuk Lamat's voice actor "breaks my heart".
