description: Can you explore this desert with friends?
encoded: While the open-world action RPG is on everyone’s lips, you’ve probably been seeing a fair amount of hype towards Crimson Desert and want to learn more about the game, including whether it is multiplayer or not. Considering the game comes from South Korean developer Pearl Abyss Corp, who brought us massively-multiplayer online RPG Black Desert Online, it’s understandable if you thought Crimson Desert is a multiplayer game. In fact, it started life as a prequel to Black Desert Online (although as development continued it moved away from this and is now not even set in the same universe). Read on to find out if Crimson Desert is multiplayer or not. Is Crimson Desert multiplayer? No, Crimson Desert is not multiplayer. It is a single player game only. This may come as a bit of a surprise considering the game originally began life as a prequel to MMORPG Black Desert Online. It was originally in development as an MMO but it drifted into becoming a single player action RPG. Speaking in an interview with playday.one, marketing and PR director Will Powers from Pearl Abyss confirmed that “Crimson Desert was originally announced as not only a prequel to Black Desert, but also an MMO". But now it is “a completely different genre". He added that: “Through its development, it’s really like you hit a crossroads in development where do you want to maintain what the original trajectory of the game was, or do you want to let it become its own thing and really blossom? Obviously, they chose the latter of those two and let it blossom into its own thing, its own brand new IP.” View Green Video on the source website Will there be multiplayer in Crimson Desert? While there is no multiplayer in Crimson Desert at launch and the game was designed to be a single player only experience, we can never say never when it comes to multiplayer modes being added in the future (officially or unofficially). Thanks to the interview with playday.one (linked above), we know that the development team will “…

Sekiro: No Defeat anime teases electric Genichiro fight in stunning new trailer

description: Hesitation is defeat.
encoded: As the trend of seemingly endless gaming adaptations continues apace, the second trailer for Sekiro: No Defeat proves that live action is far from the be-all and end-all. Despite initially launching to some mixed opinions thanks to its wholly unique combat system, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice finished 2019 with a slew of awards, and has cemented itself as one of the greatest action games ever made. Beyond its stellar gameplay, its rich world and characters captivated players, making it a welcome, if unsurprising turn when an anime adaptation was first confirmed at Gamescom 2025. Now, a second trailer has been revealed, giving fans a clearer look at the animation, as well as teasing some of the biggest fights in the story. View oEmbed on the source website One of the most iconic fights in a storied FromSoftware catalogue, this trailer repeatedly cuts to the electrifying battle between Wolf and Genichiro atop Ashina Castle. Beyond this, we're also treated to glimpses of Wolf's clashes with Gyobu Masataka Oniwa, Owl and the monks of Senpou Temple, and more, all illustrated in its distinct and beautiful hand-drawn animation style. Courtesy of director Kenichi Kutsuna, "By embracing the hand-drawn essence of 2D animation, we can achieve a transcendent beauty in action that goes beyond cool to something deeply poignant." In a 2025 press release for the game, he added, "In adapting the overwhelmingly beautiful Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice into an anime, I have poured every ounce of my 'beauty' into creating this work. "Whether you're a longtime fan of the game or experiencing the world of 'Sekiro' for the first time through this anime, we're confident this work will leave you with something to take home. Please look forward to it." It's not the only FromSoft property with an adaptation on the way, with Alex Garland's live action Elden Ring adaptation also on the way. Nor is it the only major game with an anime adaptation on the way, with two Death Stranding anime currently in pr…

Pragmata preview: Very promising, even if Diana is a bit annoying

description: More like swagmata, amirite?
encoded: Thanks in part to one Leon S Kennedy, Capcom's 2026 is already off to a flying start. With Pragmata coming up next month, the Japanese developer will be keen to stick to that path. On which note, last week I went for a leisurely walk down the road to Capcom's London offices where I sat down with a hands-on preview of Pragmata for just over an hour, and having previously been rather indifferent towards it, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Set on a seemingly abandoned lunar research station, Pragmata sees spacefarer Hugh and the android Diana team up to fight back against the hostile AI that controls the station while searching for a means of escaping to earth. On the surface, Pragmata draws very heavily from the survival horror genre. A few shots to the legs will send shambling enemies collapsing to the ground to be finished off. But instead of the slower, methodical gameplay of many survival horrors, what gives Pragmata the sauce is a very cleverly implemented hacking system. Enemies start off with armour, causing your shots to deal next to no damage. The solution to this is that Diana's hack. Holding L2 brings up a grid on your screen. Navigating the squares to reach the green node lowers enemy shields, allowing you to finish them off. Navigating through certain extra nodes on the way to the end can provide added effects such as extra damage or hacking multiple enemies at once, though many of these have limited uses, making for a unique twist on the typical ammo management formula. It's worth noting, as well, that the hacking process takes place in real time – time slows for no man nor android child. This injects a bit of adrenaline into even the simplest one-on-one encounters, making some group encounters genuinely quite stressful and really scratching a particular itch in my brain. It may be a kind of artificial stress, but it’s a good job it's there, because Pragmata's combat is, for the most part, rather easy. Normal was the highest difficulty I had access…

DLSS 5 reactions arrive online as NVIDIA reveals divisive AI-enhanced game graphics

description: "Grace looks like a completely different person."
encoded: For years now, Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) has been something of a gaming savant, upscaling visuals from lower resolutions to look as good, if not better, than native resolution rendering; however, with DLSS 5, some gamers feel Nvidia has lived long enough to become the villain. Instead of using motion vectors and colour information in order to make a game appear sharper while using fewer resources by upscaling, DLSS 5 completely alters the look of a game, with many decrying the resulting image as ‘AI slop’. Nvidia showcased DLSS 5 at Nvidia GTC 2026 in San Jose in a number of titles, namely Resident Evil Requiem, Starfield, Hogwart’s Legacy and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and said the technology was “bridging the cinematic gap” by using an “AI model to infuse the scene with photoreal lighting and materials that are anchored to source 3D content and consistent from frame to frame”, as noted by the official press release. View oEmbed on the source website If you have been anywhere near social media since it was announced, then you will know that the gaming community at large has resoundingly rejected it. Much of the criticism is levelled at the fact that DLSS 5 is altering the appearance of games, such as Grace in Resident Evil Requiem, who, for lack of a better term, looks ‘yassified’. DLSS 5 brings into question how much this could impact on artists' intent, as the included games look vastly different, as surmised by Synth Potato on X. View oEmbed on the source website Genki, a regular poster based in Japan, highlighted just how incredible the character rendering in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is, calling into question the need for DLSS 5. View oEmbed on the source website Many are reminded of the discourse surrounding fans “fixing” games by altering the appearance of characters such as Aloy in the Horizon series.

No game is perfect after all, but hopefully, once these fixes are implemented, Pokopia is going to be even better than it was before. So, what exactly is set to change with this Pokopia update? Here's everything you need to know. Pokémon Pokopia update: Nintendo promises to address six confirmed issues Nintendo has announced an upcoming update via its official website, detailing plans to address six confirmed issues and two plans for improvement: Confirmed Issues During the Withered Wasteland request "Help make a home!", Squirtle moves to the top of a tree and cannot be spoken to, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request. During the Bleak Beach request "Find the Pokémon Center!", if you break the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crosses it, it becomes difficult to proceed with the quest. During the Bleak Beach request "Find the Pokémon Center!", if you perform actions in a certain order, Professor Tangrowth's bridge repair event will not trigger, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request. If you perform actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom will not trigger. If the Rocky Ridges request "Clear the Path!" is triggered under certain conditions, it becomes difficult to proceed with the request. Spinarak's type is listed incorrectly in the Pokédex. Plans for Improvement Nintendo plans to implement improvements regarding the following: During the Withered Wasteland request "Rock Smash your way to treasure!", if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed.

The HBO series, which adapts the hit video game series from developer Naughty Dog, has been widely acclaimed by both critics and fans across its first two seasons. Now, as reported by Deadline, Bella Ramsey and Kaitlyn Dever will be joined for season 3 by Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) and Jason Ritter (Matlock). Wilson will be portraying Jerry Anderson, Abby's father, while Ritter will be playing an original character, Washington Liberation Front soldier Hanley. Alongside these two new additions, three returning faces have been promoted to regular roles. Mel (Ariela Barer), Nora (Tati Gabrielle) and Owen (Spencer Lord), who were introduced as part of season 2, will all be core characters of season 3, with the story set to focus more heavily on Abby than Ellie. The trio join fellow returning cast members Isabela Merced, Gabriel Luna and Jeffrey Wright, as well as already-announced newcomers Clea DuVall and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. View Green Video on the source website Following the runaway success of its first two seasons, Craig Mazin – who served as co-showrunner alongside Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann – is set to take over as sole showrunner for season 3, with Druckmann leaving the show to focus on the upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

description: A return to Albion!
encoded: Industry veteran Peter Molyneux is back again, and this time, he's bringing with him Masters of Albion, a whimsical open-world god game. While it's not technically a Fable game, it's safe to say that it's very much adjacent to the world of Fable – they are both set in places called 'Albion', after all. First revealed at 2024's Gamescom Opening Night Live, the game is the latest in one of gaming's most storied careers, and we can't wait to see what it's like. If you're the same, then here's what you need to know about the Masters of Albion release date, platforms, gameplay and story details and more. When is the Masters of Albion release date? Masters of Albion is currently scheduled to release on 22 April 2026 into early access. The game, which is definitely, definitely not Fable, comes from developer 22cans, a studio founded by Fable creator Peter Molyneux. As an early access title, it will be releasing on Steam only, though it may come to consoles at a later date, once it fully releases. Can I pre-order Masters of Albion? Masters of Albion isn't currently available for pre-order. However, you can add it to your wishlist on Steam here. As it's so close to release, we're getting the feeling that the game will not be opening for pre-orders, and that you'll simply have to wait until the launch date to buy it! Which consoles and platforms can play Masters of Albion? At the time of writing, Masters of Albion has only been confirmed to release on PC via Steam. However, a release on consoles – specifically Xbox, with the Fable connection – is possible. If any news about Masters of Albion's platforms pops up, as always, we'll let you know right here. View Green Video on the source website Masters of Albion gameplay and story details The aim of the game is similar to a lot of town defence games; customise during the day, and defend in the night. And much like Peter Molyneux's iconic Black and White series, Masters of Albion is a god-mode game. This means the player can inte…

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 kicks off this week, and with the return of a major character – played by Ben Starr, no less – there's a lot to look forward to. So, for everything you need to know about the Chapter 7 Season 2 release date, let's get into it! When does the next Fortnite season start? Chapter 7 Season 2 release date Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is currently scheduled to begin on Thursday 19 March 2026. This coincides with the end of Season 1, which is set to conclude one day earlier with a brand-new live event, which will likely last between 15 and 30 minutes. This also means this will be the last day that you can level up the Season 1 Battle Pass, so make sure you've unlocked everything you want before then! As for the specific time that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 will release, we won't know until closer to the date, when we have more details. What do we know about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2? At the time of writing, we don't know much at all about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2. It's going to be titled 'SHOWDOWN', and have the theme of 1v1 rivalries, with the main storyline featuring a battle between the Foundation and the Ice King. Of course, we'll get changes to the map, a new Battle Pass with plenty of new cosmetics to unlock, and a bunch of new and returning items to the game – that's par for the course with any Fortnite season, after all! What is a big change, is how V-Bucks will work going forwards. Following on from the recent V-Bucks price increase, as well as Save the World going free-to-play, the Battle Pass will cost 800 V-Bucks for the first time, with the 25-level boost costing 1,800 V-Bucks. In exchange, players will no longer be able to profit from the Battle Pass, with the total number of V-Bucks you can earn plummeting from 1,500 to 800, which is a pretty major drop!

description: Papers, Please!
encoded: If you're wondering how to get Paper in Pokémon Pokopia, then you've come to the right place. Similar to items like Lumber, Paper is a useful resource that can be used for all sorts of things in Pokopia. Unlike Lumber, however, it's not exactly obvious how you're supposed to get your hands on it. So, for a quick overview of how to make Paper for yourself, let's get into it! How to get Paper in Pokémon Pokopia explained In order to get Paper in Pokémon Pokopia, you need to give Wastepaper to a Pokémon with the Recycle specialty. The two places you can find Wastepaper are in Sparkling Skylands, which is one of the last new areas you'll come across in the game, and on Drifloon's Dream Island by showing them a Dragonite Doll. Once you've got your Wastepaper, you'll need to find a Pokémon with the Recycle specialty. The first of these that you'll likely meet is Trubbish, who you'll come across during the Bleak Beach storyline. Including Trubbish, here's a full list of all the Pokémon with the Recycle specialty: Magnezone Koffing Weezing Trubbish Garbodor Cinccino Porygon Porygon2 Beldum Metang Metagross Just like any other material, hand your Wastepaper over to one of these Recycle Pokémon and wait for them to process it all. Every piece of Wastepaper you put in will be turned into two pieces of Paper, doubling the amount you have. As well as being useful in the crafting of items like Bookshelves and Books, you'll need Paper to complete Skyland Building 4F during the 'Rebuild the Huge Building!', 'Important Request' and the third 'Team Initiation Challenge'.

The prequel to Pearl Abyss's hit MMO Black Desert Online has been highly anticipated, with some of the clips coming out of this game making it seem almost too good to be true. Part of that is the decision to forego the ever-controversial Unreal Engine 5 for the in-house BlackSpace Engine, which looks absolutely incredible.

The game was initially scheduled to release in 2024. This was then pushed back, with a trailer at The Game Awards 2024 seemingly confirming a late-2025 release. Of course, we now know that the game was further delayed, so here's hoping that 19 March is the definitive release date. Can I pre-order Crimson Desert?

encoded: Cast your mind back to the simpler times of 2003, and amidst all of the major pop culture moments of the time, there was one game that continued to be the talk of the town – The Simpsons: Hit and Run. Whether you played it at the time of its early 2000s release or have since picked it up as nostalgia continues to reign supreme in the world, Hit and Run has remained a hit spin-off idea of the original series. Who knew that embodying the likes of Homer, Marge, Lisa and Apu as they seek to find out what weird occurrences are unfolding in Springfield could spawn so much joy? Well, after 23 years, fans of the game now have an update on a potential revival of the game. Speaking to People to celebrate the 800th episode of The Simpsons, the show's showrunner and Hit and Run writer Matt Selman simply said of the possibility: "Never say never." While it may not be quite the definitive "yes" or "no" that fans may have been waiting for, it at least indicates that the idea may be ruminating in his mind. Speaking further about the legacy of the game, Selman said: "Hit & Run is so interesting. I'm a thousand years old, and when I was in my mid to late 20s, I helped write Hit & Run. I had no idea it would become a cult game, a cult success. Of all the games, the thousands of Simpsons games... that one... "Of course, it's so long ago, but I remember being in a meeting with whoever made it and Grand Theft Auto III had just come out, and so we were like, 'This has to be The Simpsons version of that. You have to be able to get in and out of the cars.' They so did not want people to get in and out of the cars. So, that was a huge battle we had to fight of getting in and out of the cars. We luckily won that battle because it is fun to get in and out of the cars." As Selman explains, Hit and Run is the perfect mix between being grounded firmly in the random world of The Simpsons while also having the jeopardy aspect that comes from playing Grand Theft Auto. The gameplay itself was very re…

description: Can my wallet be an Xbox, too?
encoded: Like everything else in the world, gaming is becoming more and more expensive, and the upcoming Xbox Project Helix looks like it's going to be a big part of that. While the death of the Xbox console had been widely speculated over the last year, new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma recently announced the development of the next Xbox console. A console and PC hybrid, the console we currently know as Project Helix is being developed in tandem with AMD, and will be the most powerful console on the market – assuming the PS6 isn't out by then to compete. But all that power comes at a cost, and the next Xbox could be far and away the most expensive home console we've ever seen. According to noted insider Moore's Law Is Dead, Project Helix could cost between $900-$1200 (~£680-£900), with a $999 (~£750) price point perhaps being the most likely. This comes down to a collection of factors, such as the price of the new AMD GPU, as well as the skyrocketing RAM costs that have already impacted upcoming Valve hardware like the Steam Machine and Steam Frame. This is, of course, just a prediction, but considering the track record of Moore's Law Is Dead, it's certainly a worthwhile point of view to take into consideration. And taking it into consideration is exactly what the internet has done, sparking widespread complaints at the idea of dropping a cool grand on a new console – nearly double the current price of current Xbox Series X. One post from X user @TheEggman64 laments the price increase, and questions whether or not Xbox would be pricing the casual market out of its console. "My worry with Xbox Helix is that, at $1,000, for every person you attract with the appeal of a hybrid PC, you'll lose two more casual players who'll switch to Switch 2 or PS6. "Most gamers just play Fortnite, CoD, GTA, FIFA; Helix won't be a good option for those." It would seem a baffling change of tact from Xbox from the current generation, in which the company made a point of appealing to a casual audience wit…

description: GameShare, I choose you!
encoded: If you’re wondering if Pokémon Pokopia is natively on the original Nintendo Switch 1, the short answer is no — but there is one way you can play the game on the older console. In the event that you have someone in your life who owns a Nintendo Switch 2 and you don't, there is a handy feature you can use to enjoy the cosy Pokémon adventure in your own right. So, whether you’re asking if Pokopia will come to Switch 1, looking for a Pokopia on Switch 1 release, or simply trying to find out how the current loophole works, here’s everything you need to know. How to play Pokémon Pokopia on Switch 1 If you want to play Pokopia on Switch 1, the only current method is through the Nintendo Switch 2's GameShare feature — available in the Pokémon Center of Palette Town, which is only accessible through the Withered Wasteland when you learn Rock Smash. GameShare lets one supported Switch 2 game be shared to another system, including an original Nintendo Switch, so another player can join in without owning the game themselves. Nintendo also confirms on Pokémon Pokopia's game page that only Nintendo Switch 2 consoles can share games, while both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems can receive them over a local wireless connection. Something to note is that you can only use GameShare with a Switch 2 and Switch 1 via a local wireless connection, and you cannot do it online. This means if you want to use GameShare with someone on a Switch 1, they have to be with you in person. Fellow Switch 2 owners can make use of GameChat to use GameShare online. What's more, anyone receiving software via GameShare can only use it for the duration of that session. Once the GameShare session ends, the shared version of the game is no longer playable. View Green Video on the source website It's quite a strange decision, considering it doesn't appear to be a very intensive game to run, especially when you consider that the much more expansive Pokémon Legends: Z-A managed to get a Switch 1 ver…

We now know the release date, some of the featured cards, and a few early details about the size of the set, even if the full Chaos Rising Pokémon card list has not been revealed yet. When is the Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising release date? Part of the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution set, Chaos Rising has a release date of 22nd May 2026. The official Pokémon announcement confirms that the set is part of the Mega Evolution Series, with a card count of over 120. While this is the official release date for the set itself, it has also been confirmed by TCG fansite PokeBeach that pre-releases will be taking place from 9th to 17th May, building hype for the full release. Is there a Chaos Rising pre-order yet? Right now, there is no official Chaos Rising pre-order information in The Pokémon Company’s announcement. The release has been confirmed, yes, but the announcement does not include retailer listings or preorder links yet. That means fans looking for a Chaos Rising pre-order will need to wait a little longer for shops to publish listings. Once stock goes live, the Pokémon Center will likely be one of the first places people check, alongside other major TCG retailers — like Magic Madhouse, When they do go live, the first places to have it listed will probably be the Pokémon Center and Magic Madhouse, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, as well as dedicated TCG retailers like TCGPlayer.

Both can be encountered during the event, and both have a chance of appearing as a Shiny or with an event-themed Special Background. Costumed Ditto are also using different disguises in the wild during the event — just like their normal versions — so keeping an eye on spawns is well worth it. Currently, in Pokémon Go, the spawned Pokémon that can be a Ditto in disguise are: Bulbasaur Charmander Combee Drilbur Goomy Hitmonchan Marill Pikachu Scyther Squirtle Timburr Pokémon Go Pokopia Timed Research tasks and rewards The event-exclusive Timed Research is available throughout Pokémon Go’s Pokopia Celebration, but make sure you finish it and claim every reward before 8pm local time on 16 March, otherwise it disappears for good.

encoded: Remember that AI clip of a 3D pixel art fantasy game? Wish it wasn't AI? Well, one developer has taken it upon themselves to make exactly that with Project Shadowglass. With some nostalgic pixel art graphics in a fully 3D world, it's got visuals we've never seen the like of. And more than just a gimmick, it's a fully-fledged immersive sim too.

encoded: The fifth main instalment in the series, Life Is Strange: Reunion is almost upon us. It's been more than a decade since the world was introduced to Max Caulfield in the very first game, who returns alongside Chloe Price for the latest title. But when does Life Is Strange: Reunion release, and what can we expect from it? Here's what you need to know. When is the Life Is Strange: Reunion release date? Life Is Strange: Reunion releases on 26 March 2026 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike the very first game, Reunion will not release in an episodic format, with the entire game instead releasing all at once on the same day. This was confirmed in the official announcement trailer that was released in January 2026. What to expect from Life Is Strange: Reunion Life Is Strange: Reunion will follow Max Caulfield and Chloe Price, who reunite at Caledon University. As a blazing inferno approaches the university campus, Chloe finds herself struggling with memories of a life and death that she hasn't experienced, with Max helping her deal with them. Max's 'rewind' ability that allows her to manipulate time, and Chloe's 'backtalk' ability that helps her confront other characters, both return. The choices the player has made in the very first game and 2024's Double Exposure impact the way Chloe and Max's relationship and fate play out, reflected in the game's branching dialogue. According to publisher Square Enix, Life Is Strange: Reunion is set to tell the conclusion of Max and Chloe's story. While the series as a whole has been a favourite among both players and critics, Double Exposure received mixed reviews from both, and fans will be hoping that developer Deck Nine Games will be able to improve on it to give Max and Chloe the send off they so richly deserve.
