PUBG is apparently done being serious for a minute. PUBG Studios has revealed DED.NET, a new multiplayer first-person shooter that takes the franchise into a much stranger direction. Revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live, the game is set in a bizarre version of 1990s Cascadia and combines multiplayer FPS action with roguelite progression across runs. PUBG, but make it weird The announcement trailer wastes absolutely no time establishing that DED.NET isn’t trying to be another PUBG. Instead of military realism, we’re getting characters penguin-sliding across the map, graffiti-covered weapons, and enough general nonsense to make you wonder whether someone accidentally…

There are some genres that feel like a perfect fit for the gradually-expanding Lego video game umbrella, but perhaps none feel more obvious than a city builder. Lego Skylines looks like that exact dream come true, putting players in charge of a growing city built out of Lego bricks and populated by yellow minifigures. Take a look at the reveal trailer, which just debuted at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event, below. Lego Skylines is developed by Iceflake Studios, the developer currently in charge of Cities: Skylines II. While Skylines II was initially developed by Colossal Order, the studio parted ways with…
Metro Exodus spent much of its time proving this series could survive outside the Moscow Metro. Artyom was always a dreamer and hoped for a better world for the people of the Metro. And despite everything, hope seemed to prevail if you made the right choices in Exodus. So why is Metro 2039 drawing me back in? It’s not just the name and the setting that’s worth its weight in gold, no. It’s the fact that it takes the bleak world of Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Metro series and takes us deeper into darkness. 4A Games dropped a new Renegade gameplay trailer…

When I got my first gaming laptop nearly a decade ago, Witcher 3 was one of the first games I tried out. I could finally play the game in high graphics settings and immerse myself in the fantasy setting. After spending an ungodly amount of time with that game, I closed the chapter with its main story and DLCs. Now, 11 years later, I can’t believe I’ll be going back. At Gamescom Opening Night Live, the studio revealed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered, a sweeping free upgrade launching September 29. The crowd was already cheering, and then it…
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a game from 2015, somehow ended up being the most exciting thing at Gamescom’s 2026 Opening Night Live showcase. That’s partly due to the reveal of a new, free remaster of the game coming just next month, but it’s also because Wild Hunt is getting new content for the first time in years. Songs of the Past, The Witcher 3’s latest expansion, was announced a few months ago, and today, we finally got to see gameplay. Check out the trailer below. In the footage, we see women dancing in flower crowns in a Midsommar-style festival (which is…
Staring at a pile of unedited clips is often the exact moment we give up on posting entirely. Instagram just tackled that problem head-on, by rolling out First Draft, a new one-tap tool that assembles your raw footage into a finished Reel in a few seconds. For now, First Draft is rolling out exclusively on iOS, with no word yet on when Android users might get access. How does First Draft create Reels for you on Instagram? The process starts just like making any other Reel. You select clips from your camera roll, but instead of manually trimming everything yourself,…
It’s uncontroversial to call The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt one of the most beloved games of all time, but since it came out over 11 years ago, it’s beginning to look a little dated, even with a next-gen update dropping in 2022. With a new DLC expansion on the way, many gamers are likely to jump back into the base game to refresh their memories ahead of the new content, and today, CD Projekt Red surprised us with an announcement. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is a free, massive upgrade coming out next month. Check out the reveal trailer,…
