4 bust and 1 ghosts Ghostbusters seems almost perfectly designed for a four-player co-op game, and so here one comes.Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashedis in development by IllFonic, the makers of recent asymmetric Friday The 13th and Predator games, and will pit four-players and their proton packs against one player controlling a ghost. Here’s the announcement trailer, featuring the voices of Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd, resuming their roles from the films:...

They’re both free! SNK have announced that the latest playable character coming toKing Of Fighters XVisOmega Rugal. He’s the in-universe organiser of the King Of Fighters tournament, but he’s arguably more infamous for being in older KOF games as a ridiculously difficult boss. You can expect him to show up on April 14th as free DLC, along with a game mode called Boss Challenge. Love a bit of free DLC....

I mean, Sonic is a glutton for rings Elden Ring, an action-RPG with hundreds of armour and weapon combinations. Stats up the wazoo. An evolving PvP meta where players invade each other and fight for supremacy. Who rules them all? Sonic The Hedgehog. No, seriously - Sonic The Hedgehog. He’s the PVP champ and there’s only one thing that can stop him: a click of the fingers. For the uninitiated,Elden Ringhas an online player-versus-player component....

It looks like Dune on acid Cantata, the upcoming game from Afterschool Studio, is releasing in early access on the 12th of May. It’s a turn-basedstrategy gameset during a surreal and futuristic war, where, shocker, the aim is to kill your opponent. The twist is that while you’re building your base in each encounter, you’ll also need to manage logistics. The maps in Cantata are bigger than most other strategy games, so you’ll have to construct a supply chain alongside your army to keep your base expanding....

Offensive language, poor feedback, crunch Current and former developers of Moon Studios have alleged that the company is an “oppressive workplace”, citing offensive language, harsh feedback and inconsistent direction by its founders. Several developers also alleged that the founders encouraged crunch. Moon Studios are the creators of Ori And The Blind Forest and Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, both critically lauded and commercially successful platformers published by Microsoft....

They plan on showing a bit more about the game closer to launch, too....

Torrent > Roach Well, well, well. Last night CD Projekt said they’reworking on a new Witcher game. All we’ve got to go on is a cryptic image of a lynx-like Witcher medallion sitting in a bed of snow. Some of us from the Treehouse ran through whatwe’d like to see from The Witcher 4, including some truly insightful quotes about leg muscles from myself. One thing I failed to mention, though, was Roach, Geralt’s horse....

Ciri? Roach? Someone completely new? Last night, CD Projekt announced they were working on abrand-new Witcher game. Details are thin on the ground at the moment. All we have to go on is a cryptic piece of artwork showing what appears to be a lynx-like medallion peeking through some snow, and a declaration that it’s going to represent a “new saga” of The Witcher series. Heck, we don’t even know if it’s technically going to be calledThe Witcher 4yet (itprobably isn’t, in fairness), but for sake of ease that’s how I’m going to refer to it for the time being....

There’s a brand new update outside of that too PlatinumGames want you to know thatBabylon’s Fallis, quote, not “in danger.” In fact, it’s so not in danger that theyannounced a new 1.1.0 update to Babylon’s Fallwith a statement overon Twittersaying that they have “no plans to reduce the scale of development on Babylon’s Fall.” There’s no official date set for the update yet, but you can read Platinum’s full plans in ablog post....

But we don’t know if it’s The Witcher 4, or something else CD Projekt have today announced they’re officially working on the next installment inThe Witcherseries. Whether this isThe Witcher 4, though, we don’t know - only that it will be supposedly “kicking off a new saga for the franchise,” according to a statement onCD Projekt’s website. It will also be kicking off a new venture into Unreal Engine 5, as the developer announced they were leaving their own REDengine behind as they embark on a new, multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games....

You’ve been Tangoed Many creators leave fingerprints on their games, but few apply their digits asphysicallyas Shinji Mikami inGhostwire: Tokyo. One sidequest in Tango’s open world spook-busting adventure sees a neighbourhood disturbed by piano music, eerily plonking away at ungodly hours. Roaming the streets you soon catch the haunting strains of Moonlight Sonata, a piece famously played in Mikami’sResident Evilto unlock a secret passage. But it’s more than a cute nod....

You switched on your targeting computer! It’s been in development for a while, and has been delayed several times, allegedly resulting inextensive crunch. It’s finally coming out on April 5th, but having played about an hour of Episode IV, this is not the Lego Star Wars-ing I remember. The plots are the same, of course, but much of its mindless minifig bashing has now been swapped for… over-the-shoulder third-person shooting? I feel a great disturbance in the Force....

It’s PVP only, but there’s new maps, a new character, and hero reworks Overwatch 2may have beendelayed, but it’s finally, almost, here in a playable form! It’ll be available from April 26th in a closed beta, and Blizzard are still takingsign-upsover on their site right now.

Earlier this month it was announced that Overwatch 2 wassplitting up the PVP and PVE sectionsof the game, and this beta only includes the PVP half....
