It's been so long since dino-survival sequel Ark 2 was unveiled, its preposterous Vin Diesel-starring CGI trailer almost feels like a dream. But developer Studio Wildcard remains adamant it's still happening, and it's paving the way for its arrival with a brand-new Ark: Survival Ascended expansion, Ark: Lost Colony, launching on 16th December.

For the RuneScape community as a whole the release of Sailing marks the day a meme, a myth, a legend becomes reality. For Old School RuneScape - the retro spin off MMO of RuneScape 3 based off of an 07 backup - it marks the arrival of its first ever new, exclusive, Skill. It's quite the regatta after the past proposed Skills, like Warding and iconically the first version of Sailing ten years ago, failed to pass the player polls. Now, however, the anchors are hoisted and the sails are set as Sailing voyages into OSR.

Elden Ring lore expert VaatiVidya is releasing a book, following over a decade's worth of YouTube videos covering the work of FromSoftware.

It all began innocently enough. It was September and Megabonk was blowing up on Steam, and I was curious. What was this game that had arrived without a formal introduction and raced to more than 100,000 concurrent players? It was the latest in a line of unpredictable viral hits, and I wanted to know more. I wanted to know who it came from, whether it was a slapdash cash-grab made by an opportunistic company, or whether there was something, or someone, more genuine behind it.

Oscar-winning animator and director Alberto Mielgo has hit back at accusations his cinematic short for Bungie's Marathon is AI-generated, insisting the production is "not AI", and was in fact the result of "155 incredible people and hell of hours, days, [and] months" of time.

Former Xbox boss Peter Moore has recalled why Microsoft poached him from Sega to head-up the company's Xbox 360 charge. He had experience launching the Dreamcast, yes, but more alluring seemed to be his experience of being part of Sega's battle in a console war. Microsoft needed someone to take the fight to Sony and PlayStation.

Peter Moore is one executive who can probably claim to have done it all. Having recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of being CEO of Liverpool Football Club, this Liverpudlian businessman also spent decades working in video games, leading EA, helping Sega launch the Dreamcast and, of course, making a real contender of Microsoft's gaming business with the launch of Xbox 360. Whenever the Xbox 360 made a move, Moore was the person on stage announcing it, literally rolling up his sleeves to display Halo and Grand Theft Auto tattoos, taking the fight to Sony and PlayStation.

When I think about the Xbox 360 it's hard to not want to go back. I get this feeling whenever looking at old games, my memories of the experiences inseparable from my memories of life at the time. There's one game (series, really) that sticks in my mind more than any other, charting my path from a wannabe to an established member of the games press - that might sound like an odd moment in time to be fond of, but from an early age I desperately wanted to make a career out of games media, and the 360 era is when this solidified into reality.

Those with Switch consoles who have had a hankering to play Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - that is to say, the remaster of 2013's Tomb Raider reboot - but have been unable to do so due to its lack of availability, well I have good news for you.

For Analogue, the boutique gaming brand that made its business in mining the emotions of the cash- and nostalgia-rich grown-up hardcore, the game has surely changed.

Now, everybody is at it - and so Analogue finds itself needing to more precisely carve out and defend its corner of the market.
