Dad’s back SNK have announced the next warrior joining the roster of team-based punch-upKing of Fighters XIV.It’s none other than OG Heidern, making his long-awaited return to the franchise. The military strategist, who debuted way back inKoF ’94, is the Commander of the Ikari Warriors and the adoptive father of Leona, having found the young girl alone in a village, surrounded by blood and bodies. The lanky officer fights with deceptive speed, slicing through the air to create sharp projectiles....

Plus a look at upcoming skins I was more than happy to see Blizzard show off three upcoming characters inHeroes of the Stormthis week, but there’s another announcement!StarCraft‘sMedicis also in development. In a round-up email covering Kharazim (who may be coming to PTR on Monday), Rexxar, Artanis, and the Infernal Shrines map (as detailed here), the studio included a quick line about the Medic. She’s a “ranged support who focuses healing into a single ally and can offer team-wide protection through CC and non-healing utility....

There’s provisos Curiously, Hong Kong residents could pick up a Switch like everyone else early last year, but all of the system’s online components were turned off in that region. In other words, if you lived in Hong Kong you had to create an eShop account for another region to buy games online — it’s a wacky and temporary situation that doesn’t feel great if you”re trying to tie all of your purchases to one home account....

Wait until the time is right Final Fantasy Type-0 HDwasn’t on the show floor at PAX last weekend, but Square Enix did show off the action RPG behind closed doors. During our meeting with the publisher, Destructoid touched base with director Hajime Tabata to discusshow differentthe game is from the rest of the series. We also learned about the Tabata’sstrong desireto create a MOBA. Now let me tell you about the part where we delved into title’s strange development history....

If you’re eager, like me, to jump intoMonster Hunter Wildson February 28 but don’t want to wait until then, there’s a cool way to save almost half a day if you’re on Xbox. Once again, Capcom has decided to go for a regional launch on consoles. In simpler words,Monster Hunter Wildswill be released on your console when the midnight clock strikes 12 in your region. Naturally, some countries will have the game available earlier as the Sun appears there sooner....

AlthoughSolo Leveling: ARISEis set to launch worldwide very soon, there is an early access version of the game for fans to try out, and now’s the best time do so since it saw an April update. This free-to-play action RPG is based on the anime of the same name (which itself is an adaptation of a South Korean web novel), and is scheduled to release on PC, iOS, and Android on May 8....

PC, PS4, Xbox One in January Ubisoft is bringingZombito retail in Europe on Jun 23, 2025. The horror game debuted on Wii U years ago asZombiU, and only recently dropped the “U” for a digital-only release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Strange timing all around. And now I have to wonder: if there’s enough interest for a run at retail, does that mean there’s enough interest for a sequel?...

Not to mention an explosive harpoon gun Hunt: Showdownmight be one of the coolest PC games you aren’t playing. With update 6.0 adding trip mines, an insect-swarm boss, and a few more player traits, it’s a good time to bring it up again. If you’ve slept onHunt: Showdown, it’s a monster-slaying bounty-hunter PvP romp from developer Crytek. You have to be mindful of not just other players,who are racing to track clues and get a leg up on you,but also AI-controlled creatures that roam the world....

For every Paranoid Android A blink and you’ll miss it reveal took place during today’sPlayStation Showcase 2021, when a baffling, creepy, and very, very abrupt teaser trailer dropped for the mysteriousKid A Mnesia,which is coming to PS5 and PC (via the Epic Games Store) this November. The weird-looking release is a celebration of the work of legendary British band Radiohead, and will feature music and visuals pulled directly from the group’s 2001 releaseKid A, and its follow-up,Amnesiac....

How best Celesteis a monster hit, particularly when you factor in that the vast majority of the game’s development was handled by two people. It’s since become a critical and commercial indie darling, even sharing the main stage at award ceremonies with AAA projects: I think people are going to be playing and thinking about it for a long, long time. Naturally, when a mod featuring Kirby pops up on my feed, I perk right up....

It’s been a long time coming, but the heavily anticipated documentaryIndie Game: The Moviewill finally make its debut this week. The film will premiere to an audience — that, let’s be honest, couldn’t care less about videogames — at Sundance Film Festival. As part ofFlixist‘son-site Sundance 2012 coverage, I sat down with the filmmakers behind this ambitious project. Head over to Flixistto hear us discuss the project’s origin, the challenges they faced, and what videogame documentaries may be in-store for the future....

Today the team revealedInkbound, a co-op tactical roguelike that’s coming to Steam Early Access in 2023. While 2020’sMonster Trainblended deckbuilding with tower defense,Inkboundis going for a different vibe.

Co-op-centric shooter for Xbox 360 and PS3 Insomniac Games’ cooperative shooterFusewill be releasing on May 28 and May 31 in North America and Europe, respectively, the studio announced today. This comes after a delay earlier this year and something of a confused identity; you might remember the game best by its previous name,Overstrike. I’ve struggled to feel anything other than apathy towardsFuse, though that’s not necessarily a fault unique to the title so much as it is me being generally burned out on third-person shooters....
