The Blood of Dawnwalker thoroughly impressed me when I visited Rebel Wolves’ studio in Warsaw, Poland, in April. Though much of my excitement was centered on the heavy reliance on choice-driven mechanics and the way NPCs react to the protagonist, Coen, based on how you interact with others in the game, I would be remiss to not mention that the combat system also feels like a step up from other similar titles. And in speaking with the seasoned game-development veterans at the nascent studio, they seem to feel that way as well.In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players participate in similar…

Mina the Hollower, the 8-bit action-platformer from Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games that launched last week on May 29, sold 300,000 copies in its first three days. In the lead-up to the game’s launch, Yacht Club told Bloomberg Businessweek that Mina the Hollower was a “make or break” moment for the studio, explaining that the studio had to pause a planned second project and burn through a lot of its cash reserves as a result of taking six years to develop the game, and with 300,000 copies sold, it sounds like the studio is in the clear. Yacht Club co-founder…

Opening the Amazon app, tapping the search bar, and finding a product by text or image search: this is how most of us have been using it. However, Amazon thinks that’s too many steps.  The company has rolled out six new visual search features, one of them being the Amazon Lens widget for iPhone. It puts a camera shortcut directly on your iPhone’s lock screen, so you can point it at anything around you and the app finds it before you’ve unlocked the phone.  How to add the Amazon Lens widget? Adding the widget is quite straightforward. When unlocked, press…

Remedy Entertainment released a new trailer for its upcoming action game, Control: Resonant, during yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, revealing a September 24 release date with it. Shortly after, people noticed that the PlayStation Store listing for the Digital Deluxe Edition includes a Hiss Corruption Outfit, an Occult Outfit, the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact, some other digital goodies, and 48-hour early access starting September 22. The trend of being able to pay more for a game to jump in a couple of days early is already disappointing and annoying, preying on the very-real FOMO some players experience in such an online connected…

Google’s latest Android feature drop isn’t just about AI tricks and visual upgrades. One of the most meaningful additions arriving soon is aimed squarely at family safety, bringing several Personal Safety app features to younger Android users for the first time. As part of the June Android Drop, Google says children under 13 will gain access to key emergency features that were previously geared toward older users.

The Eternal Life of Goldman was announced last year and since then, we here at Game Informer have been keeping a close eye on it because, well, it’s beautiful. And if you missed out on the Steam Next Fest demo for it earlier this year, good news: a new demo featuring 90 minutes of gameplay for The Eternal Life of Goldman went live today on PlayStation 5 – we can’t recommend it enough! The gorgeous hand-drawn visuals of The Eternal Life of Goldman will surely catch your attention, but there’s also a really great DuckTales-inspired platformer in there, too, with the…

Google Home is giving its cameras a more specific memory for the animals at home. Pet Memory, a new Gemini for Home feature, lets supported cameras recognize a pet by name after an owner adds that pet’s name and type in Ask Home. The update works with indoor Nest cameras and select cameras with Gemini built in. Once it’s set up, Google Home can send a tailored alert when a known pet walks through a room or shows up in camera history. Pet Memory requires the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, so the feature is tied to Google’s paid…

Fallout 76 launched way back in 2018 (can you believe that?) and despite the longevity on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, it still hasn’t made the native jump to the current generation of consoles. Developer Bethesda Game Studios, however, will begin testing PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game this month, with plans to roll out the update sometime this Summer. This news was announced in the Infestations update release notes (that you can read here), which also explains that Fallout 76 will get PlayStation 5 Pro support. Anyone who already owns Fallout 76 will be able…

How we power our homes has become one of the most important conversations in consumer technology. Not in the abstract, policy-heavy way it used to be discussed, but in a far more personal sense. People want homes that are smarter, more resilient during outages, less affected by rising electricity costs, and increasingly capable of running more of daily life independently.  The growing interest in residential solar reflects this dramatic shift. What was once framed as an environmental decision or a long-term cost-saving measure is now evaluated through an entirely different lens. Reliability matters. Ease of ownership matters. Design matters. Integration with the rest of the connected home matters even more.  Tesla Solar Panels are engineered with that expectation in mind, bringing the same simplicity, visibility, and seamless integration…
