Hades 2 version 1.0 finally has a release date, praise Zeus and the rest of them

Supergiant Games have finally done The Thing, following some patch teases that'd left things in a bit of an 'either go or get off the pot' situation. Hades 2's full release is nigh, with version 1.0 set to drop later this month. I'm pleased, because the sequel to the horniest ancient Greek roguelike of all time was already very good in early access form. I'm also terrified, because it's not like September hasn't already had enough games to fight for my attention, between Silksong and Borderlands 4. I mean, I've not gotten around to playing either of those yet, because basketball, but hey. Read more

Sims challenger Paralives is out in December, so it's time to scientifically assess those flirting animations

"What does flirting actually look like?" is one of several, quintessentially Friday-afternoon questions raised by the latest development footage for Paralives, the upcoming life sim with its heart set on stealing yours away from The Sims. We last covered Paralives in October last year, when the devs confirmed an early access release in 2025. That early access launch date, 8th December, is fast approaching, so it's high time we treated this would-be Maxis-feller to some fresh scrutiny.

French Lara Croft actor starts lawsuit over alleged AI-generated voice lines in Aspyr's Tomb Raider remasters

Françoise Cadol, the long-time French voice actor for Lara Croft, has reportedly launched legal action against Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered publishers Aspyr over alleged use of generative AI to replicate her voice for lines in the game. Cadol claims Aspyr didn't contact her to ask for permission, and it appears the voice of Croft in at least one other dub of the remasters may have been put in a similar position. Read more

Skyrim wizard makes it possible to fix mod conflicts and patch issues by just moving stuff around in the game

Skyrim modders have yet again managed to pull off something remarkable. You know how creating patches to ensure two mods work together smoothly's long been something that requires firing up the likes of the creation kit or xEdit? Well, thanks to a new mod dubbed the in-game patcher, it's possible to resolve issues like that simply by wandering up to the location as the Dragonborn and editing the very make-up of the world. See a rock clipping through a house because you've downloaded a couple of works that give the same bit of Whiterun a makeover? Just mosey over, grab the misbehaving mineral, and either move it elsewhere or delete it. You'll have make sure you've not messed up anything else in the process before you save your changes, but assuming all the NPCs still have their own heads, you've got your own patch. Read more

There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service

Gearbox and Take-Two Interactive's Borderlands 4 has launched to cries of "pretty good" from (some) professional reviewers, and "Stutterland bugfest" from a vocal portion of the Steam playerbase.
