You probably don't need me to tell you Rayman Legends is an absolute classic. And despite it being over a decade old at this point, the celebrated 2D platformer - with its sumptuous hand-drawn art and wildly imaginative action - still looks and sounds and plays phenomenally today. So it feels a bit odd that, of all the Rayman games Ubisoft could have revisited and remade as the character celebrates his 30th anniversary, it's this one. But here we are anyway with the newly revealed Rayman Legends Retold, coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC on 1st October!

Steam is once again under fire. A new antitrust lawsuit has accused platform owner Valve of abusing its dominant position in the PC marketplace by aggressively pursuing developers - including major players like Ubisoft and Warner Bros. - who fail to maintain price parity across digital storefronts.

Hyper Scape feels like something that happened ages ago, but Ubisoft's failed battle royale game was shut down in April 2022 after halting its content updates a year before that. The game itself wasn't anything special, yet no small amount of FPS veterans praised its core traversal and movement mechanics. This is why a passionate fan is attempting to bring it back from the live-service graveyard.

The Rogue Prince of Persia might not be one of the most popular roguelites around, but it's charmed enough veterans and newcomers since it launched into 1.0 last year. We figured it would be ending its development run shortly afterwards, but Evil Empire (one of the studios now hard at work on the next Castlevania) isn't done upgrading it yet.

Rainbow Six Siege is one of those multiplayer games that continue to thrive without making much noise outside their core communities. In fact, last year brought a number of substantial changes to the game through the Rainbow Six Siege X update. Shame about those massive attacks from hackers though.

Former Assassin's Creed director Alexandre Amancio has shared his thoughts about AAA development, suggesting we need "smaller teams" and admitting that big-budget developers cannot "solve a problem by throwing people at it".

January is the month that, where I live, in the south of England, everyone gets serious again. All the paraphernalia of Christmas - all the merriment and cheer and colourful lighting - is cleared away in favour of sobering goals for the year ahead. It's never something that's appealed strongly to me, making goals, but I do feel the allure of wiping a slate clean and starting again. It's like a run in a roguelike game, I like to think. Time for a new me.

The world has gone blue once again. James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash is torching the box office, having already passed the $1 billion global mark and probably kickstarting serious conversations about Avatar 4 and 5 (both are written but waiting for the green light). And it looks like 2023's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is also benefitting from some brand synergy.

We've been hearing rumblings of a full-blown remake of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag for the longest time now. After Skull & Bones' troubled development, those current-gen assets could boost the production of such a project, so the idea never sounded too far-fetched. We've yet to receive official news on it though. Now, a new Raid: Shadow Legends event has got hungry Assassin's Creed fans all hot under the collar.

It's been another strange, difficult, and yet somehow also brilliant year for video games in 2025. Triple-A releases have been sparse again, compared to the boom times of old, with a great big GTA 6-shaped hole left in the final few months of the year. And yet once again, every gap left by the established order has been filled twice over with something brilliantly new.

Rainbow Six Siege is still struggling today after hackers gave out "billions" in in-game currency, forcing Ubisoft to briefly "intentionally" shut down the game.

At the tail end of 2024 the original PlayStation turned 30 years old. While the Xbox 360 is only hitting 20 and it's not an industry shaker to the degree the PS1 was, there's no doubt it earned its place as one of the most important consoles of all time. Xbox managed to challenge Sony in the traditional home console space the PlayStation had dominated with PS1 and PS2, and the console's brilliant line-up of games played a major role in that.

It's hard to believe it's been over five years since Ubisoft unveiled its troubled - and much-delayed - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, but we're now one step closer to an actual release date, with Ubisoft's latest financial results narrowing its launch down to "Q4" of its current financial year.
