    Riftbound Radiance card reveal - Bandle Scouts' Academy is perfect for Teemo degenerates (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    We’re excited to reveal Bandle Scouts’ Academy, a new tempo-focused Battlefield that’s set to drop with Riftbound Set 5, Radiance. We're coming up to Riftbound's first anniversary and, honestly, I'm pinching myself a little. Riot's League of Legends TCG has gone from strength to strength in the past 12 months, recovering from some rather ugly launch woes to cement itself as an LGS staple. We're already on Set 5, Radiance, which features Seraphine and Ekko as its poster children, and three new me

    True Damage returns for 2026's League of Legends Worlds anthem, and I'm very OK with it (opens the original)

    True Damage returns to the League of Legends Worlds stage this year, and honestly, I'm really excited about what they've got to show. In many ways, League of Legends Worlds 2026 is literally a journey through the MOBA's greatest hits. Riot promised us a music-themed end to the year, and we've already seen the return of Heartsteel and a registration filed for a new K/DA track. While I was silently hopeful that we'd maybe get another Pentakill Worlds moment, True Damage will take to the stage this

    Read excerpt

    Battlestate Games COO Nikita Buyanov is looking to the future, with his new 'Escape from Tarkov in space' project, Fragmentary Order. Nikita Buynanov is a man who seems unstoppable. He's the COO of Battlestate Games, which just announced its new publishing arm. He's the Game Director on Escape from Tarkov, and the Head of Studio at new venture, RANT Studio. "My life right now is just work, and work, and work, and work, and work," he tells me. "I just want to live again." But Nikita Buyanov is ve

    Hellraiser Revival wants you to feel "uncomfortable." After 30 minutes playing, it does all that and more (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Hellraiser Revival was my favorite Gamescom demo, and I’m in awe at how Saber balances its heavy themes with nuanced storytelling. I'm going to start this article with a trigger warning. This interview deals with topics that include sadomasochism, themes of abuse, substance misuse, and discussions of a sexual nature, including the likes of BDSM. If those themes aren't for you, that's totally okay, but I'd advise that you avoid this article, and perhaps Hellraiser: Revival more generally. I'm tra

    Building a D&D game post-BG3: Why Warlock wants you to "feel like you're cheating" (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Baldur’s Gate 3 casts a tremendous shadow over the D&D RPG genre, so at Gamescom I asked how Warlock plans to expand on BG3’s magic. Post-Baldur's Gate 3, everyone I've ever spoken to has said the same thing: 'I don't envy the developer of Baldur's Gate 4.' That same sentiment extends to Warlock, Invoke and Wizards of the Coast's upcoming D&D-set RPG. While we've seen the likes of Solasta 2 make use of the Dungeons and Dragons ruleset, Invoke's new adventure is the first triple-A D&D game post-B
