With The Expanse: Osiris Reborn proving lacklustre in the hands, I'd say Archetype's time-dilating space RPG Exodus is currently closest to the much-coveted status of unofficial Mass Effect 5. The developers have dropped a release date - 7th April 2027 – alongside a new…

What's that coming through the hiss and crackle of static? It's a transmission from the Gamescom zone, where a trio of RPS survivalists are fighting to stay alive amid all manner of hazards. You don't want to know the things they've told us about the loos. One of them, James,…

When I sat down to play Road Kings in April, the event organisers were very clear: when you're done driving around in the sandbox, let us know and we will load up the disaster movie scene. After fifty minutes of my hour with Saber's spin on American Truck Simulator, I'd…

If you think the protagonists of Grand Theft Auto 6 look dull as piping hot ditchwater then rejoice, friend, for the game will let you transform these gung-ho sex magnets into weary and despairing zombies, tottering along the shore of Leonida with eyes like sandy latrines and…

This week we got our first proper look at Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, Wizard of the Coast's new RPG-tinted action game. In theory, it's the story of a grizzled weapon master who is searching a lawless pocket dimension for somebody precious to her, but I disapprove massively of…

For a series about light and dark, it's appropriate that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a spinoff that's trying to escape the main entries' shadow. Developer Asobo Studio have dropped much that is familiar to explore exactly what a Plague Tale story can be. Resonance doesn't…

Since the persistent rumours of a cheeky extra DLC for The Witcher 3 turned into confirmation from CD Projekt Red that such a thing is on the way prior to The Witcher 4, there's been a nagging voice in the back of my mind. On one hand, Songs of the Past is more of an RPG I love,…

Let’s face it, most of the discourse on Elden Ring has been and gone. The consensus Game of the Year all the way back in 2022, it is FromSoftware’s magnum opus, a work of incredible artistic achievement, and one which stands at the pinnacle of the Souls genre the studio created.…

There’s a funny appeal to truck simulators that many find solace in. Whether it’s the escapism from the fixed cycle of everyday life or just the childlike glee of piloting a great big truck, even truckers themselves have been known to play truck simulators in their downtime…

This week, RPS took the downright heroic step of declining to live report on the latest Geoff Keighley trailer bonanza at Gamescom 2026's Opening Night Live. Under the wise guidance of editor-in-chief Julian "Walks Away From Omelas" Benson – and with the honourable…

There’s plenty of stereotypes about the north that Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen does little to dispel. It’s cold up there, the people are a bit more unusual, there’s dragons, and it’s great for a bit of thrifting to find relics. Norgan is an icy region of the world,…

Heroes of Might & Magic is having a moment. Not only are publishers Hooded Horse and Ubisoft backing the development of Unfrozen's Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, the first new game in the series in more than a decade, but Ubisoft have revealed they're completely remaking…

Since I’m apparently now RPS’ Radioactive Eastern Europe correspondent, I recently spent a couple of hours in Metro 2039, the gloom ‘n’ grit FPS sequel that Ukrainian developers 4A Games have explicitly styled as a return to the series’ roots. From…

Hey kid, you want a free remaster? It's totally not a scam! No, really. While everyone knew The Witcher 3's sort of surprise new expansion Songs of the Past would be getting a look-in at Geoff: German Edition, CD Projekt Red had another surprise up their sleeve in the form of a…

Can you hear a distant buzzing, my friends? No, it’s not the powerlines from that new data centre, or yet another wasp’s nest in the eaves; it’s the arrival of a different kind of hornet’s nest, led by Marcus Fenix. This is Gears of War: E-Day, a chainsaw-fuelled journey to the…
