Publisher Fellow Traveler and Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin have unveiled Signit City, a first-person “fungalpunk” RPG where you play as a parasite. There’s no release date for it yet, but Fellow Traveler says it’s “coming soon” to PC. In Signet City, you control a parasite in the titular coastal city, which is in sharp decline because in this world, the biological computer has outgrown the silicon chip. Born in the brackish waters of Signet City’s bay, you must inhabit human minds and guide your hosts into their final season. “From the stained wallpaper of the squats to the towering…
Mouthwashing is one of my favorite horror games ever, and a lot of that is due to its heavy focus on writing and atmosphere, prioritizing narrative. It’s surprising, then, that developer Wrong Organ’s next game, Carcass Clad, is so different. Shown off at today’s PC Gaming Show, it’s a multiplayer tank game, where three players each take a different role to guide a tank called Yksiö through the streets of Vhorgorod. I had lots of questions about this new project, most of them around how and why it’s so different from Mouthwashing. Thankfully, they reached out and offered to answer…
Microsoft has officially kicked off celebrations for Xbox’s 25th anniversary with a nostalgic new limited-edition console that pays tribute to the original Xbox era. Unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase, the new Xbox Series X25 combines modern hardware with the iconic translucent green aesthetic that defined Microsoft’s first gaming console back in 2001. The special edition console arrives ahead of Xbox’s official 25th anniversary in November and is clearly designed to appeal to longtime fans who grew up during the original Xbox generation. Officially called the Xbox Series X25, the console features a translucent green shell inspired by the classic…
I look forward to playing this game one day, but I also really like its unreleased state, because the experience I get from watching new trailers is always such an insane roller coaster. There Are No Ghosts At The Grand is a renovation game, a la Powerwash Simulator, except there’s also a narrative, a mysterious supernatural element, some kind of puzzle-solving, and right when you think you’re comfortable, BAM: someone starts singing, because it’s also a musical game. This new trailer has a particularly disarming singing police officer, but also every other element above, presented when you least expect it.…
The 2026 Summer Xbox Games Showcase is over, and we just got a slew of announcements, exclusive reveals, updates, gameplay trailers, and more. It was another excellent showcase in a jam-packed week of SGF-related showcases, but there was quite a lot. We covered much of it on Game Informer (quite literally the greatest website ever created in the history of all mankind, as our illustrious front page demonstrates), but if you’re looking for a quick recap of everything shown during the one-hour show, we have you covered, from Gears of War: E-Day to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and all…
Crazy Taxi: World Tour was just announced at the Xbox Games Showcase and players were quick to notice that the game’s Steam page contained a generative AI disclaimer which reads, “At SEGA Corporation, we utilize generative AI as a support tool for developers, aiming to provide better content to our users and enable developers to focus more on creative tasks We have used such generative AI support tools during development of Crazy Taxi: World Tour. No AI was used in reference to the performers in the game.”We reached out to Sega for confirmation and a potential response to the details…
In 2024, back when the AI image fever was catching on, Google released the Pixel Studio app. It was meant to be a joyful playground where you could bring your imagination to life using AI. Well, it went a bit above and beyond. In our tests, Google’s app created disturbing images of SpongeBob dressed as a Nazi, Mickey Mouse as a slave owner, Elmo pointing a shotgun at Big Bird, Yoda doing cocaine, and Mr. Krabs holding an assault rifle. Well, ChatGPT is doing something similar, but in an even more worrying fashion. What’s on Earth is wrong with ChatGPT?…
Metro 2039 is the fourth mainline game in the ongoing Metro series, and though we’ve been aware of its existence, today offered the first substantial public look at its gameplay. Along with showing off the visuals and environments, we also get to see gunplay and other mechanics, and learn about the Fuhrer Hunter, “the man who has washed the Metro in lies and propaganda to gain the ultimate power.” For more on Metro 2039, you can read our extensive preview on the game right here. Metro 2039 does not yet have an exact release date, but it is coming to Xbox…
After years of forcing Bing into nearly every corner of Windows Search, Microsoft may finally be giving users a way out. The company is reportedly testing changes in Windows 11 that would allow people to completely disable Bing-powered web results from the operating system’s built-in Search experience. For many PC users, this is a long-overdue change. Windows Search has spent years blending local file searches with Bing suggestions, online results, news links, and Microsoft services – often frustrating users who simply wanted to find an app, document, or system setting on their computer. According to a report by PCMag, Microsoft…

More specifically, developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin, and publisher Konami, will release the next installment of Castlevania on October 15 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Given it’s a new 2D sidescrolling action…
