  12-11-2025 23:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  A new Baldur's Gate 3 mod restores a cut scene with dialogue between Withers and the Tiefling child Arabella, and I'm genuinely confused as to why it was cut from the final game.As spotted by PC Gamer, YouTuber SlimX managed to uncover a bit of scrapped dialogue "via a simple scripting adjustment," and due to popular demand, the mod is available for download on SlimX's Patreon for free.It's a brief and relatively inconsequential exchange, but it really humanizes the undead seneschal in a way the

• Over 120,000 microtransaction haters have successfully campaigned to remove the controversial feature from MMO by 2026, Jagex declares “the start of a new era”

  12-11-2025 22:36 via gamesradar.com
  
  The renowned (and old) MMO RuneScape has now been around long enough to both introduce microtransactions and rip them right back out of the game.Earlier this month, RuneScape's developer Jagex put the fate of its game in the hands of its community, erecting a poll and inviting players to vote to remove Treasure Hunter, the game's conduit for microtransactions. In a win for the staunchly anti-microtransaction crowd, the Treasure Hunter poll – which pulled in more than 120,000 votes when onl

  Vince Gilligan's new show Pluribus has landed with a major impact with critics and viewers alike, and one of the breakout stars is Karolina Wydra who plays Zosia, who has mysterious ties to the main plot of the series, which I won't spoil here. But Wydra's success comes as a surprise to the actor, who was out of work and without active representation when the opportunity to co-star in Pluribus came her way."I always had a dream to work with Vince Gilligan, but to think it would ever be a possibi

  Takaya Imamura is well known among Nintendo fans for his work as art director on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, creating terrifying icons like that creepy moon and Tingle. It's appropriate that Imamura got to make such a mark on the Zelda series, since he'd been a long-time fan going back to the original NES game."I've been a fan of The Legend of Zelda since my student days!" Imamura exclaims in response to a fan on Twitter. "I have fond memories of working hard with my friends to beat the

• The new Steam controller refuses to look normal, but it's hiding some innovation even Sony's DualSense doesn't have

  12-11-2025 19:12 via gamesradar.com
  
  Along with a new VR headset and a new Steam Machine, Valve has just announced a brand new version of the Steam Controller. That's right, a successor to one of the weirdest gamepads ever made is officially launching, and if you were expecting Valve to cool it with the quirky designs, you're going to be disappointed. This PC controller might look amorphous and a bit weird, but as someone who reviews these gaming peripherals, I'm very intrigued.The new version of the Steam Controller isn't quite as

• Valve Deckard has been officially revealed as the Steam Frame, and it looks like a combination of PSVR 2 and the Meta Quest 3's best features

  12-11-2025 19:11 via gamesradar.com
  
  After years of rumours, leaks, and speculation, Valve has officially unveiled the Steam Frame, its second VR headset. Just as the rumours predicted, it'll run on Steam OS (the same operating system as the Steam Deck) as a standalone device that doesn't need to be tethered to a PC to run games. While that's great news on its own, it seems like this device will combine some of my favorite parts of all the best VR headsets.We're yet to receive a price for this new headset, which could really determ

  Valve just officially announced a new Steam Machine, and unlike its PC predecessors from ten years ago, this box takes cues from the Steam Deck. That's hardly surprising given that the latter is one of the best gaming handheld options around, but the new rig is far more than a screenless portable.At its core, Valve's new Steam Machine is basically a mini PC. It's armed with an AMD 6-core Zen 4 CPU paired with a "semi-custom" RDNA 3 GPU with 28 Compute Units and 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. It also squeezes 1

  In an interview earlier this year, former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida revealed that he'd overseen the cancellation of two separate games that were $25 million deep into development. Now, he's revealed the exact nature of that pair of games. One was, it seems, the long-rumoured sci-fi project from the God of War devs."One was actually an internal game developed by Santa Monica Studios," Yoshida says on the most recent episode of Simon Parkin's My Perfect Console podcast.

  Between the powerful vehicles and the large, destructible map, Battlefield Redsec truly imbues the battle royale formula with the militarized chaos the series is known for. One big change the free FPS brings is insta-death if you're caught in the encroaching circle of wildfire, something that was part of a particular MO for the developers."We talked a lot about what we don't want to see; people camping outside of the ring area and those kinds of things," Thomas Andersson, creative director on Ba

• Shawn Levy says making Netflix's Dungeons and Dragons TV show has been a "challenging process" because "you're adapting a world and a lexicon and a spirit"

  Stranger Things director Shawn Levy says the previously announced live-action Netflix Dungeons & Dragons TV series is still in the works, it's just taking a while."I think that the reason it's taken so long and the reason why it is a challenging process is you're not adapting story IP," Levy told Collider. "You're adapting a world and a lexicon and a spirit, but story needs to be invented largely from scratch. And it needs to be invented in a way that feels organic to everything that's great

  To deliver the platitude "this is a tough time in game development" is to attempt to patch a sinking boat with chewing gum – it's not nearly enough to convey the seriousness of reckless studio closures, layoffs, and widespread cancellations. Then, there are more mundane tortures, too, like getting anyone to care if your game exists in the first place.This is the kind of tough time in game development Sonderlust studio founder Nels Anderson is currently getting to know, as the developer exp

• The Witcher 3 features large bodies of water, so CD Projekt CEO insisted we should be able to explore it all: "Where's swimming?"

  12-11-2025 17:50 via gamesradar.com
  
  Just in terms of pure landmass, The Witcher 3 has always been an enormous game. Most titles aspire to the size and density of even one of its regions, such as the massive province of Velen that's unlocked shortly after completing the already sizable prologue in White Orchard. There's also tons of bodies of water throughout the game, and one day, that led to CD Projekt's joint CEO Adam Badowski apparently asking a brief, but complicated question, one which made its world even bigger – not t

  In February 2024, Xbox did the unthinkable when it announced that four formerly Xbox console exclusive games would be ported to other platforms. While it started with Grounded, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment, the initiative has since expanded so that even Microsoft's biggest hitters like Indiana Jones and The Great Circle can be found on other platforms.The politics of whether this is a good move for Xbox aside, it appears that the American company still favors porting to PlayStation over N

  Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida is enjoying Ghost of Yotei, but says AAA games have to play it safe, while indie games are where all the new ideas are.As video game budgets balloon, it's clear that large-scale releases are playing it safe.
