Oh dang, nice. Hytale - that ambitious Minecraft-like that Riot cancelled - is back in production, independent style. They've been rehiring the team and apparently have up to ten years of funding. Early access release date coming soon. Nice to hear some good news, at least.

Coming this December: Game Informer will be available in major retailers – including @barnesandnoble.com, GameStop, WH Smith, Books-A-Million and more – in the US and internationally. Learn more: gameinformer.com/letter-from-...

Devil may cry definitely doesn't deserve to be there on its own merits

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

The Rogue Prince of Persia is coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 16!

I, for one, have been waiting for this announcement since I started using the Steam Deck. Imo my time of buying every Sony console is over. It's a PC gaming world now and this is where I'll be investing my time and money

My favorite comment on the FT story

Has anybody called Hakeem Jeffries?

Zohran Mamdani’s opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.

Spoke to a 62 year old voter today in Miami who said he wants the government to eliminate property taxes (something Florida is considering) When I asked how his city would then pay for services, he said Trump's tariffs would pay for them. He didn't understand when I said that doesn't make sense

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

The short version: Despite layoffs, buying the game still puts money in the pockets of the developers who worked on it. Which is doubly important because they're out of a job. Boycotting the game in solidarity with them by screwing them out of money won't help anyone!

I mean ... right on?

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Ninja Gaiden 4 was one of my most anticipated games of the year and I'm not playing it in accordance with the BDS Microsoft boycott, and it turns out that actually nothing bad happens to you if you don't play a video game.

Yooka-Replaylee is the best version of the 3D platformer, and well-worth the time of any collectathon fans. @sigmagears9.bsky.social goes over everything you need to know in his latest Bytesized review -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v8i...

Really excited about this one. I was rooting for the original when it didn't do well. Glad it's getting another chance

If you're reading this, then you're probably one of the "hyper enthusiast, price-insensitive players" keeping the games industry going. https://bit.ly/48U7Fdg

17. Fear The Spotlight If you want a great indie horror game to play for Halloween this is a wonderfully spooky and surprisingly sweet gem with a focus on exploration and stealth, some great little puzzles, and two playable characters with their own back-to-back narratives. I'd highly recommend it!

I'm about 10 hrs into Ghost of Yotei - and I'm having even more fun than with Tsushima. Exploration/world design is addictively good - everything flows so organically. Atsu is charismatic with a "stranger come to town" vibe. Stunning visuals. And combat is so crunchy and satisfying. I'm hooked.
