This week on the Eurogamer Newscast - also available in audio form! - it’s all about Nintendo Switch, which is quietly having yet another brilliant year. The last few days have seen confirmation of a new Kirby game and a Bayonetta 3 release date (finally!), adding to a solid year so far and a strong end to 2022 which will also see the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, Mario Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet....

The lineup for this year’s Evolution Championship Series, better known as EVO, has officially been confirmed, and there’s one glaring (if admittedly unsurprising) omission: Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite. This would have been pretty major news just a few years ago, with Capcom’s crossover fighting series being something of a staple of Evo tournaments. However, due to a increased competition in the genre event chiefs have decided to eschew the title from the 2018 lineup....

Former Mass Effect producer Casey Hudson has joined Microsoft to head up the creative direction on the company’s upcoming AR tech HoloLens.

Bethesda has moved to quash rumours that it is looking to relaunch Fallout 76 as a free-to-play title. While it’s fair to say that the post-apocalyptic RPG has not had the best start after launching last November, Bethesda has no intention of pulling it off shelves and removing the price tag in the process. That hasn’t stopped rumours from circulating on social media and online forums, though, which claim a relaunch is in the pipeline....

Endwalker is the latest expansion that’s just been released for Final Fantasy XIV, and it comes with tons of new content for players to sink hundreds of hours into.

First things first, Discal Tomestones are an end game material, which means that you’ll first need to have completed the Endwalker MSQ and have your character at level 90 with a combat class....

Three new Final Fantasy 7 Remake videos show off each of the three pre-order DLC Summons. The DLC Summon screenshots released about a week ago did the same thing, only in less detail. With the videos, viewers can see each Summon’s unique intro, what kind of magic and attacks they passively use, and get a possible look at some of the ATB (Active Time Battle) attacks that each Summon can preform – cuts in the videos make it hard to tell, though....

Xbox 360 owners had the opportunity to give NaturalMotion’s Backbreaker a test run this weekend as the demo was available for download this past Friday.

When games come out first on PlayStation, we PC gamers usually have to wait a while before they pop up on Steam or wherever.

The game is a 2D Metroid-like featuring animal people versus robots....

When For Honor first launched, opinions were mixed to say the least. Many players latched on to the idea of a PvP swordfighting game. The parry system delivered by providing deep, tactical gameplay that aped the better parts of fighting games. Sadly, the servers were not up to par. Early adopters cited connection issues as they gave the game low scores. There was also the issue of microtransactions, a big no-no in a full-priced game....

It can be difficult to gather a group of friends regularly enough to play a cohesive tabletop game, but there are few things quite as satisfying as sitting back, rolling some dice, and having a good time with good friends.

Dying Light 2 will touch down in spring 2020, but Techland lead designer Tymon Smektala recently told Gamesindustry.biz that a small, dedicated team will be continuing to add new things to 2015’s Dying Light. According to Smektala, the team ‘had a meeting right before E3 where we said we still wanted to add things to the first one,’ so that’s exactly what’s happening. Last year, Techland released 10 DLC packs in 12 months, as part of its 10-in-12 scheme; Smektala explained that ‘supporting a game like Dying Light for such a long time allows us to be slightly more crazy, and slightly more creative with some things, and also test some ideas and gameplay elements that we’re not sure about....

A wise man once said that you can only take so much first-person shooting at a single gaming convention, and he may have a point. With more than a few shooters at this year’s E3, most developers and publishers are realizing that a unique approach, aesthetic or mechanic is needed to separate yourself from and rise above the competition. Id Software’s RAGE has been doing that by presenting a post-apocalyptic environment populated with living, breathing characters, and by squeezing every bit of graphical fidelity the PS3 and Xbox 360 are capable of....
