• Silksong is shockingly cheap at just $20, but Team Cherry says it just tries to "price the games at a reasonable level for people," man

  21-11-2025 23:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  When your first game sells over 15 million copies, especially if you're an extremely small development team, you don't have to worry about your second game putting food on the table. This was the fortunate position that developer Team Cherry found itself in with Hollow Knight: Silksong after the success of Hollow Knight, so in a way, it was no surprise to see Silksong launch at just $20 – only $5 more than its predecessor – despite being a much larger game that took over six years to

• After 4 years, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail dev's mystery game seemingly revealed to be the open-world game Varsapura, in a trailer that screams Control so loud I'd bet Remedy heard it in Finland

  21-11-2025 22:43 via gamesradar.com
  
  When HoYoverse, then MiHoyo, first released Genshin Impact and launched itself into a big pit of covid-era gacha money that's snowballed into multiple lucrative games and many more projects in the works, much discussion was dominated by one sentiment: hey, this looks a lot like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. HoYo confirmed that it did want to capture some of that Nintendo magic, and Genshin has since evolved into a more distinct flavor of open-world action RPG that I still enjoy today.

  It's not often that you hear an actor, particularly an actor mostly known for roles in video games, talk positively about generative AI in acting, but a prominent actor appearing in one of the year's biggest releases envisions a world where the tech can improve creative output without displacing jobs.Talking to GamesRadar+, Jim High – the actor behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 big bad Erik – tippy-toes the tightrope between both sides of the generative AI argument: it's evil and an

  If there was any remaining doubt about Ubisoft's stance on generative AI following CEO Yves Guillemot's recent comments, the company's new AI companion initiative, Teammates, should lay it out quite clearly. "This work reflects the direction we want to take in the years ahead," Guillemot says of the "generative AI-driven gameplay" pitch.Teammates, Ubisoft revealed today, is the evolved form of Project Neo NPC, which was shown off last year as a sort of upgraded NPC chatbot hybrid.

Then you have folks like Valve billionaire Gabe Newell, who's called AI and machine learning systems a "cheat code" technological transition comparab
