Xbox and The Coalition are making a big deal about Gears of War: E-Day's campaign, ahead of its Xbox and PC launch on 1st October. The game goes back in time to study the origins of the Locust scourge, placing you in the big, stompy shoes of a younger and more 'innocent' Marcus Fenix as he navigates the beginning of the end of the world with erstwhile comrade, Dom Santiago. As I noted in my preview, it feels like a continuation of the original trilogy - somehow! - in its pacing, mechanics, and setup.

Why did The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim never receive a spin-off like Bethesda's Fallout 3 did, with Fallout: New Vegas? According to Skyrim co-lead designer Kurt Kuhlmann, it's because of The Elder Scrolls Online. Speaking to FRVR (via VGC), the 20-year studio veteran said the MMORPG essentially kept Elder Scrolls fans occupied while Bethesda focused on other projects.

It took me four attempts to successfully parachute into a Wardogs match. On the first try, I opened my parachute far too early, and was promptly sniped from the sky by one of the many sharpshooters that populate Wardogs' battlefield. The second time, I pulled the ripcord far too late, pancaking into the ground like a camo-clad Wile-E-Coyote. The third time, I pulled the cord only slightly too late. But it turns out "slightly too late" has the same outcome as "very too late" when it comes to parachute jumping.

CD Projekt Red has clarified to Eurogamer that "all versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that exist in the world" are to be updated with the free Remastered edition upgrade today. That update, by the way, rolls out from 11am BST.

Naughty Dog fans, pick up your ears - it's been a busy night for fans of the PlayStation studio.

Double Fine's wasted no time at all as an independent game studio (again) after splitting from former owner Xbox earlier this summer. The storied developer is releasing its whacky driving sim, Thank You Bus Driver, in roughly two weeks time.

"What if London existed in the Grand Theft Auto universe? What if Rockstar created a GTA game set in London?" Anyone sitting in the venn diagram centre of GTA fan and cartography sicko might be happy to learn that YouTuber CityEd has answered both of those questions with a GTA-style map.

Ubisoft is internally calling its latest generative-AI initiative 'Motherbrain' - you know, like the evil supercomputer turned gross brain-in-a-jar monster from Nintendo's Metroid series - according to trademarks filed by the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry publisher.

It's tricky to appraise the Remastered edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt because on the one hand, everything about it is extraordinary. It's a free upgrade to an 11-year-old game that showcases a level of support and generosity I don't think I've seen for any other single-player game, ever. It's remarkable that The Witcher 3 should be visually overhauled and even systemically altered so long after its release, without a cost to the player attached.

The popular - and always appreciated - seamless co-op mod has finally come to Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, the only game of the trilogy to have spent years without it. Mod creator Yui, who's responsible for the seamless co-op mods for Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring and Armored Core has returned to release the mod's alpha version to the public.

Back in August, CD Projekt Red properly revealed new Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past during Gamescom's Opening Night Live show. Whilst I got to experience a hands-off demo of the new content (which I loved), no one in the public has yet had chance to get their hands on the title. So, it seems like CD Projekt Red is doing the next best thing and get our, erm, ears on it instead.

Diablo 4's Season of Hell's Legacy began over two weeks ago following a banner BlizzCon, but its launch has been surprisingly wobbly. The season initially suffered a multi-hour delay thanks to log-in errors and server issues, but Blizzard has apologised to players using the power of gifts.

Skyrim launched almost 15 years ago while The Elder Scrolls 6 is still marinating over at Bethesda Game Studios. Even so, Bethesda apparently never considered having an outside team develop a spin-off game to fill that painfully long gap - as it did once upon a time with Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas.

Resident Evil Requiem is still doing bonkers business while elongating Capcom's generational win streak, but the new big-screen reboot didn't make as big of an impact on game sales as you might expect. Still, according to estimates from Alinea Analytics, the ninth mainline game in the horror series has made over $500m (around £377m) and counting.

Control Resonant's upside down world is out now, but Remedy Entertainment's not done with the RPG just yet.
