Veteran devs from Riot, Bungie, Respawn, and Blizzard have come together to make ‘the world’s next 10,000-hour game’-
Revealed today in the video above, Project Loki is the codename for a team-based competitive PvP “hero battleground” from startup studio Theorycraft Games, which was formed by developers with MOBA, hero shooter, and battle royale experience from the likes of Riot, Bungie, Respawn, and Blizzard.
“In a session of Loki, players will assemble a squad of heroes; outplay other teams in sprawling, free-flowing battles; run the edge of a huge world in the sky; and dream up crazy strategies in a massive combat sandbox,” said Theorycraft in a press release.
We first heard from Theorycraft Games last year, as they snapped up a key Riot artist and developer. Today’s “pre pre pre pre pre alpha” game clips show off teams of four heroes each clashing in rolling fights across terrain varied…
Town-building survival RPG Bellwright hits Early Access this month-
Survival and town-building RPG Bellwright will release on Steam this month, with developers Donkey Crew announcing that they’re targeting April 23 for a release. The low fantasy RPG was well-received during its Steam Next Fest demo last year for its blend of survival crafting gameplay and third-person town building.
“Set in low medieval times, Bellwright combines the thrill of survival, combat and open-world exploration, with a deeply immersive storyline of intrigue and revolt. Players will lead a burgeoning rebellion against a tyrannical Sovereign, liberate oppressed villages, and uncover the dark secrets of their lineage,” said the developer in a press release.
PC Gamer writer Christopher Livingston took a look at Bellwright’s demo last year and q…
Watch the AMD CES 2024 livestream right here- new APUs, GPUs, and 3D chips expected-
AMD is going first out of the big PC gaming tech companies in rolling out its plans for 2024, with its CES livestream kicking off today at 7am PT/10am ET, and 3pm UK time. The general information on the event is pretty vague, and as the “Advancing AI PCs” title suggests, it’s leaning heavily into the buzz initialism of the show: AI.
As rival Intel is wont to suggest, AI is everywhere at CES 2024.
“AMD is powering the end-to-end infrastructure that will define the AI era,” reads the event listing, “from cloud installations to enterprise clusters, AI-enabled intelligent embedded devices and PCs.
“Join Dr. Lisa Su, AMD Chair and CEO, and Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and GM of computing and graphics, as they talk about the future of AI in personal computers.”

Why not turn Left 4 Dead 2 into some kind of kawaii anime nightmare–
Left 4 Dead is just another victim of Valve’s almost comical antipathy towards the number three, with the series seeing two brilliant entries in quickfire succession over 2008/2009 before it was left 4 modders. Who over the years have done quite the job, it has to be said, with a particular favourite being the mod that added Jaden Smith’s tweets to the game as deranged graffiti (also a shout-out to the one that replaces the Charger enemy type with Homer Simpson in his car).
Now, a new challenger approaches. Eight of them, in fact. The Blue Archive mod by HCHA for Left 4 Dead 2 adds protagonists and extensive stylings from Blue Archive, a popular gacha-style tactical RPG from Nexon Games that casts you as the “sensei” of an apparently all-female academy city, i…

I could’ve won today’s game in just two guesses if only I’d used the right word instead of the one I picked—the one that was one letter different.

WoW ‘hardcore’ players currently use an addon to prove their runs are legit, but may be getting official servers soon-
World of Warcraft Classic is already a harder, more punishing version of modern WoW, but a whole community of players like making it worse.
WoW Classic hardcore players try to reach max level without dying, an outstanding feat for an MMO originally released in 2004. Normal enemies hit like trucks, resources are scarce, and quests are a pain to finish. One misclick on an ability or a misstep off a cliff and you’re dead. That’s it. “Death = delete,” as they say.
Right now, there’s no built-in WoW Classic hardcore mode: players just commit to deleting their characters if they die on their own. However, after many, many requests from the Classic hardcore community for official hardcore realms, or servers, Blizzard might finally do it. Twitter user Meorawr (tweeted by Solanya) fo…
