2023 has turned out to be the year of Baldur’s Gate 3, RPG-wise at least, and it’s easy to forget that no-one expected it to be this way. Many including myself expected the biggest and best game of the year to be Bethesda’s much-anticipated Starfield, the first new series from the studio in decades and…
Baldur’s Gate 3 racked up six awards at The Game Awards today, including Game of the Year, a win Larian founder Swen Vincke tells PC Gamer he didn’t expect, even after leaving the recent Golden Joystick Awards with too many awards to carry. Kicking off the love early in the show was Neil Newbon, who…
It’s no secret that The Game Awards plays host to more world premiere trailers than it does awards, and 2023’s edition was a pretty packed evening. Surprising no one, Geoff Keighley scored the reveal for another Kojima game that looks even more surreal than usual, and we also saw new projects from Hello Games, Arkane,…
Monster Hunter Wilds was the big final premiere at the 2023 Game Awards, with the above trailer confirming a 2025 release date. That’s a while off, and it’ll also be a while before we get more details about the Monster Hunter World follow-up: series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said on-stage that Capcom won’t show any more…
Medieval Dynasty may have spent a couple of years in early access on Steam before launching its 1.0 version in 2021—but that doesn’t mean the settlement building survival RPG is done adding new features. Not by a long shot. Here’s some excellent news if you’ve always dreamt of planning, building, and managing a medieval village…
Baldur’s Gate 3 has had a pretty active speedrun community, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar enough with its more immersive-sim elements. There’s the vaunted sex% speedrun, the any% speedrun which focuses on making Gale blow up as quickly as possible, and the “any% all acts” speedrun. Spoilers ahead, of course. So,…
Recruiting capable Rogue Trader companions is a big part of the 40k CRPG, as you bolster your retinue with chainsword-wielding weirdos and mutant psykers from across the wild frontier of the Koronus Expanse. You’ll gather a fair few allies during the initial prologue, but there are more to find as you venture out into realspace. …
I’ve played Baldur’s Gate 3 a lot now. And, let me tell you, I’ve played through Act 1 more times than a lot. I just can’t help creating new characters! This restart-itus has become even worse recently, too, thanks to me delving into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3 cosmetic mods, which are letting me…
Vampire: The Masquerade’s blueblood vamps, the Ventrue, are the fourth and final clan being unveiled for Bloodlines 2. Unlike the unexpected addition of the Banu Haqim, shown off during the PC Gaming Show, the Ventrue reveal has been easier to predict: these vamps are VTM’s aristocracy, heavy hitters that often have important positions in the…
Larian recently revealed some more of the stats it’s been sneakily gathering while we’re playing Baldur’s Gate 3. Among them, the revelation that 33% of Halsin romancers requested he boink them in bear form. Honestly, you people. Just as shocking in its own way is finding out that 464 parties have earned themselves a golden…
