I have a confession to make: I am one of the three people on this planet who didn’t love Balatro. This is, admittedly, not Balatro’s fault. Traditional card games have never sparked any particular joy within me. The red-and-white procession of numbers and shapes is all a bit too dry for my taste, and my transparent poker face leaves me ill-equipped for psychological warfare. Balatro and OTA IMON Studio’s Zet Zillions may only be direct competitors insofar as they both let you throw cards around a screen, yet I have to commend the latter for being the first deckbuilder to turn my head in 2024.

When is the Zenless Zone Zero release date? Hoyoverse, the developers behind anime game juggernaut Genshin Impact, has a new gacha game to add to their stable. Described as an urban fantasy action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero follows the events and citizens of New Eridu, “the last shelter for urban civilization.”

In typical Hoyoverse fashion, Zenless Zone Zero boasts an extensive character roster in service to its story and ZZZ banners. Its cyberpunk city lends the RPG game a sci-fi edge, though its fast-paced combat is more in line with Genshin Impact than Honkai Star Rail. There's already plenty to chew through ahead of the ZZZ release date, and our time in the beta can provide an early preview of Zenless Zone Zero codes and events to expect at launch and beyond.

When is the Alone in the Dark release date? Survival horror has been going through a bit of a renaissance in recent years, so it’s high time that we bring back the one that started it all. After a 16-year hiatus (no, we’re not counting Illumination), Alone in the Dark has emerged from the shadows in the form of a rebooted reimagining, and we’ve got all the details on the release date, news, and story to get you up to speed.

2024’s Alone in the Dark is a love letter to Frédérick Raynal’s original game of the same name, which rose to critical acclaim following its release back in 1992. It’s often hailed as the grandfather of survival horror, having inspired the development of Resident Evil – and, by proxy, all the survival horror games thereafter. However, the days of MS-DOS are long gone, and developer Pieces Interactive has breathed new life into this classic experience with modern-day graphical fidelity and Hollywood A-listers. Here’s everything we know ahead of the Alone in the Dark release date.
