Within the True Reverie Corridor, endless possibilities await you. Build your dream team of heroes and test your mettle within randomly generated dungeons, and see familiar faces in a whole new light with a variety of minigames and scenarios. What new adventures will you discover?
At last year's Gamescom Opening Night Live, Deep Silver re-revealed the game, showcasing a gorier, over-the-top action title. Developed by Dambuster Studios of Homefront: The Revolution fame, this new version of Dead Island 2 was about slaying zombies in the most extravagantly excessive ways possible. It featured a new cast of characters and covered different ruined locations in Los Angeles. Also, the gore. So much gore.
From the talented indie studio Shiro Games comes Wartales, a strategic and tactical MERCENARY SIM RPG set in a medieval world that's both raw and realistic. While the game features a few scattered fantasy elements, it primarily focuses on delivering a true-to-life experience for players.

Coming to PC and Xbox Series X|S on May 2nd, Redfall is of major importance to Microsoft who after a relatively paltry 2022 in terms of first party offerings, Redfall and Bethesda’s own Starfield now represent their charge to pump out games that’ll serve as platform sellers.

Thank you once again.

"Stray Gods" sounds so weird, I'll put it onto my radar.

At this year’s Epic State of Unreal Tyler Black, VP of Product at Kabam, took to the stage to introduce the world to the company’s latest IP King Arthur: Legends Rise. The game is an original RPG from the team and the first title that they’re developing using the Unreal 5 engine. We were fortunate enough to have a chance to meet up with Tyler as well as Kabam’s Head of Publishing NIck Anderson to get a closer look at Legends Rise and chat with the two about the game’s direction.

Talking about some of the sequels to video games I want to see the most!
In Remnant 2, the Handler and their loyal companion work together to take down the toughest enemies. Venturing into the apocalypse alone can be daunting, so bringing a friend is always a good idea. Introducing: The Handler Archetype.
Wield unparalleled strength. Rage like Hell as the Barbarian in DiabloIV.

Developed by Digital Sun, creators of Moonlighter, The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is an action RPG that takes place in the League of Legends universe.

Wielding the chains that once bound you, you must liberate your homeland from tyranny, one Mageseeker at a time.

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story Review

The Mageseeker: A League of Legends story is another solid example of Riot Forge partnering with talented developers to bring League’s rich list of champions to life in new genres to showcase more sides of their characters. The story goes to some interesting places after a slow start, picking up steam in the second half and leading to a momentous finale. Levels are fairly straightforward and could have benefitted from additional content, like optional puzzles or bonus objectives, but the bosses and variety of abilities is enough to keep you on your toes despite some of the repetition.
Redfall: How Devinder Found Himself in the Middle of a Vampire Invasion

Devinder finally gets the camera turned on him to tell his story of how he ended up in the mess of Redfall in the final of four Redfall character profiles. It turns out for him, this was a "right place at the right time" sort of situation. See that and more about how his kit can be used in this exclusive trailer. Head over to IGN.com to get a breakdown of his kit for even more backstory and details on his abilities.

Blizzard Game Director Joe Shely and Associate Game Director Joseph Piepiora discuss changes to Diablo IV since the first two beta weekends, and what players can expect from the newly-announced Server Slam on May 12th.
Here's a new look at gameplay from Diablo 4's endgame Nightmare Dungeons. Not only are enemies more difficult, but the sigil system adds modifiers to make your experience more challenging. Upgrade your Paragon Glyphs and farm precious materials after hitting max level.
Check out new gameplay of a Helltide area, an endgame activity that's only available on higher world tiers. Risks and rewards are both increased, as you can lose resources every time you die, and you have a limited time to cash out. The Diablo devs walk us through what these activities will look like, and why they're important.
The Druid class takes the spotlight in this latest Diablo IV trailer. Check it out to see the class in action. Diablo IV will be available on June 6, 2023.

Lead your own resistance group, make tough decisions, and ensure this small operation has a big impact on the war's outcome! Build, upgrade and manage your base.

Keep winning, so your allies send you vital funds, supplies, and even elite units in your fight to liberate Europe. Step up, heroes! It’s time to take your freedom back!
How was the impressive Dead Island 2 FLESH system created? As with every moment in every video game, the final result is the product of people working together. We visited Dambuster Studios to reveal how the Dead Island 2 team spanning multiple people across several different departments combined their skills to construct Dead Island 2's new gore tech. Join us as we dive into this interesting slice of Dead Island 2 development.
We hit the streets to get an idea of what people are doing to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse and it’s all presented by Dead Island 2. Set 10 years after Dead Island, the US government and military have locked California down under quarantine and Dead Island 2 is set in hellish vision of LA.
Master your magic in IMMORTALS OF AVEUM and experience fast, fluid, first person spell-based combat, where magic is at the core of both offense and defense. Players can creatively leverage all three forces of magic and are rewarded for clever chained attacks and well-timed counters.
