Last Worm Standing is battle royale by another name Forget cockroaches.Worms– the Team17 multiplayer game, but also maybe the slimy little fellas too – will outlive us all. The series has been going strong for decades and a new title is on the way in 2020. Worms Rumbleis a frantic 32-player game with real-time platformer/shooter arena combat, cross-play support, and three modes. Deathmatch is a series staple, Last Worm Standing is a battle-royale shootout, and Last Squad Standing – a variant with ten teams – lets players revive their mates....

For both versions ofWorld of Warcraft Blizzard’s development teams are in a tight spot. With leadership failing them at nearly every turn, hardly any of their actual demands met, andthe current leadership putting the squeeze on them, it’s no wonder that active development on at least one game (WoW) stopped for a bit as the teams tried to get their house in order. The silence was deafening, and now it’s time for theWorld of Warcraftteam to give us all an update....

Also Psychonauts and Dragon Quest Builders 2 What a combo! East meets west. While there are several “big” games on offer this May in terms of Xbox Game Pass, arguably the two biggest areFinal Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster andRed Dead Online. The former is notable because Game Pass has been cozying up toFinal Fantasygames for some time, becoming somewhat of a premier destination for the series. While the latter is interesting because Game Pass hadRed Dead Redemption 2last year, then promptly removed it from the service by the end of 2020....

Game delayed two weeks The tag team effort between Team Ninja and Dark Horse Comics, theYaiba: Ninja Gaiden Zdigital comic series, has launched this week. The comic is now free for download at theDark Horse Digital storenow, as well as through their iTunes and Android app. But the game’s release date has slipped a couple of weeks out, now confirmed for March 18, for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. You’ll find a couple of pages of the comic in our gallery below....

It’s coming in a few weeks Yo-kai Watch 3will arrive in two flavors when it hits Japan on June 16 —SushiandTempura(for reference, that’s two different 3DS versions) — and will be set in America. You can take a look at the new battle system below, as well as the announcement that it will contain over 600 Yo-Kai to befriend (it’s catching up onPokemon‘s 721!). I’m constantly confused as to the performance of this series overseas....

Former Rare designer Ed Bryan joins the team Another ex-Rare developer has joined forces with Playtonic Games, the team behindYooka-Layleeand itsImpossible Lairfollow-up. This time, it’s none other than character artist Ed Bryan–the self-described “father” of Mumbo Jumbo and the Jinjos fromBanjo-Kazooie, as well asDr. PuzzfromYooka. Admit it: you can still vividly hear the jingle that plays whenever you rescue a hapless little Jinjo from certain doom. Ed Bryan played no small part in makingBanjo-Kazooiea magical game, and given Playtonic’s current trajectory, I’m excited to see what he’ll contribute to theYooka-Layleeseries....

Yes, Ms. Morissette, this is ironic [Update:In acomment given to Eurogamer,Tetris Effectdeveloper Enhance has clarified that the Oculus version of the game does not require SteamVR’s SDK. Despite Epic stating otherwise, this was a misunderstanding on the part of the publisher. Obviously the Vive version does (for the reason stated below), but you can playTetris Effectwithout requiring Valve’s software.] From certain PC gamers, a collective sigh was let out whenTetris Effectwas announced as an Epic Games Store exclusive....

Icon of $$$in Hell is really taking a beating lately, what with so many of you Doom Slayers out there doing your part to control the demon population. Bullets are flying, and the floor is very slick from all the blood and viscera. Watch your step, we wouldn’t want you to twist an ankle. Bethesda released some vague statistics today to tout how wellDoom Eternalis selling. It’s the best-sellingDoomgame ever by opening weekend numbers, and it has raked in twice the revenue that 2016’sDoomdid in its first weekend sales....

Blastoise is 8000 coins, 460 gems Sowe knew Blastoise was finally coming toPokemon Unitetoday, and the stars have aligned, he’s not delayed,and he’s in! Wait, finally? The game is still pretty new! Well, it’s all a matter of perspective. Blastoise was front and center in the mobile beta, and was pretty much ready to go already; but two other Pokemon (Gardevoir and Blissey) made it in first. Now the big blue tank is getting its revenge....

E3 is just around the corner, and I prepare my body for long days of work and longer nights of possible alcohol poisoning, I find that all the details on the event are hitting hard and fast. It’s like Christmas, except I get to be drunk with a larger group of people and we talk about videogames all day. Cheers! Capcom has just confirmed their E3 2008 lineup via theCapcom Unity Blog,and there are some exciting offerings, includingStreet Fighter IV,Resident Evil 5and the hotly anticipatedMega Man 9....
