  Matthew Lillard says Mike Flanagan's upcoming Carrie TV show is not only book-accurate, but more than worth the wait."Carrie's brilliant.

  Matthew Lillard is no stranger to iconic IP, and he wants to visit a galaxy far, far away next."Two things I've been saying for years: I want to be in the Star Wars Universe, desperately, and I want to work again with James Gunn," Lillard tells GamesRadar+. "I have that on my list. I'm friends with James [Gunn]. I don't know why he hasn't called me yet. If Star Wars called, do I care if I'm a Stormtrooper?

• Kim Kardashian's all-time terrible lawyer show All's Fair is experiencing the Morbius effect as Hulu renews it for season 2

  24-11-2025 23:29 via gamesradar.com
  
  Hulu's Kim Kardashian-starring show All's Fair has been renewed for season 2. The renewal comes as a bit of a surprise as the show debuted to a 0% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which has since climbed to 3%, spawning a series of clips that went viral for being, frankly, terrible. Is this an example of a show actually managing to attract viewers, or is it another example of what I'll call the "Morbius effect?"What is the Morbius effect, you ask? Well, back in 2022, Sony's Jared Leto-led sup

  One Arc Raiders player recently subjected himself to the darkest parts of humanity while learning what many women already know instinctively – most people would rather accidentally stumble on a yellow duck than a "naked" guy they weren't ready to see.The nature of Reddit user 17prozent's so-called social experiment required him to discover this secret of the universe for himself.

• GTA 6 does not impress Geralt of Rivia – The Witcher actor Doug Cockle says "I really don't care about" the Rockstar game, even if it beats The Witcher 3's awards record

  24-11-2025 22:20 via gamesradar.com
  
  Geralt of Rivia is much too involved with Leshen spirits and beautiful women to concern himself with things like the GTA 6 delay. The Witcher series actor Doug Cockle, who's voiced the monster slayer Geralt for nearly 20 years, tells GamesRadar+ he could hardly care less about the fabled Rockstar game."Oh man," Cockle tells us during the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 when we ask for his thoughts on GTA 6 potentially outpacing The Witcher 3's history at the awards show – around 10 wins over f

• Team Cherry demonstrates the evolution between Hollow Knight and Silksong: "If the Last Judge had existed in the previous game, it would have probably been more of a big, round blob"

  24-11-2025 22:15 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Last Judge, the big chapter 1 boss of Hollow Knight: Silksong, is a pretty good encapsulation of how the game's combat sandbox evolved since the original Hollow Knight. Even developer Team Cherry reckons The Last Judge would be a slower, squatter boss if it had appeared in Hollow Knight rather than Silksong.Team Cherry's Ari Gibson and William Pellen discussed the evolution of Silksong in a recent interview with the ACMI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) in a guide book available

• Presumably praying people have room for another extraction shooter after Arc Raiders, Bungie opens Marathon signups for December playtest

  24-11-2025 21:33 via gamesradar.com
  
  There was talk following the release of Baldur's Gate 3 that, after such a satisfying turn-based RPG experience, other RPGs of a similar classical lineage might launch to a hungrier audience, filled with players converted or pulled back to the genre by the feast Larian prepared. Baldur's Gate 3 set a high bar, sure, but it also set millions of people on a course to seek out more games like this. I wonder if the folks at Bungie, who've missed the initial planned release date for extraction shoote

• Arc Raiders was going to be a cross "between Shadow of the Colossus, Left 4 Dead, and PUBG" according to dev, who says Embark initially had no idea "what kind of game loop we were supposed to have"

  24-11-2025 20:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  $40 extraction shooter Arc Raiders was a very different game when it was first revealed at The Game Awards in December 2021 as the debut title from former Battlefield devs' Embark Studios. The studio's, ultimately, second game was a free-to-play co-op shooter. According to creative director Stefan Strandberg, the game was "some sort of Venn diagram between Shadow of the Colossus, Left 4 Dead, and PUBG."Strandberg explains further in a new video series from Embark exploring how Arc Raiders transf

  Unfrozen CEO Denis Fedorov seems ready to present his studio's upcoming Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era prequel, the first new game in the turn-based strategy series in 10 years, as proudly as a newborn king. The fantasy game is a fine example of its noble lineage: late '90s games for the MS-DOS."The components of a good sequel are one third old stuff, one third improvements, and one third something new," Fedorov tells GamesRadar+, channeling Civilization creator Sid Meier and his "rule of

  Mirthwood, the stunning medieval life sim RPG that released as indie developer Bad Ridge Games' debut title in 2024, has resurfaced with a brand-new update – and it might just be what the cozy game needed to draw players back in.If you're a fan of Stardew Valley and old fantasy icons such as Fable, Mirthwood might've been on your radar last year with its immersive medieval-inspired world, unique drawing-like art style, and farming sim-aligned gameplay loop.

• A few hundred employees working on "self-directed projects" has made Valve one of the world's most profitable-per-person companies, on track to top $17 billion this year and shame the likes of Google and Meta

  24-11-2025 18:31 via gamesradar.com
  
  Analyst estimates of Valve's annual revenue is already around 6% higher than the whole of 2024, meaning it is on track to surpass $17 billion by the end of the year. While this number is already staggering, it is even more impressive in context of how many people the company employs, with likely less than 400 staff members working at the gaming giant.Steam's owner Valve is one of the few independent gaming companies of its size, and this means that despite how much money it makes, it's able to h

  Super Mario 64 has seen a lot of wild mods, but there's perhaps nothing wilder than seeing the Nintendo classic get a PS1 port thanks to the efforts of one modder.The 2020s have been an interesting time for Nintendo's first (and best, if you ask me) 3D platformer, with the decompiled Super Mario 64 project leading to an extremely popular PC port, which in turn led to a litany of mods.

  A recurring theme of Battlefield 6's issues since launch has been the recoil. The bloom, knockback, and sensitivity are sticking points, the latter being the most egregious problem, with sections of the community continually requesting for some sort of patch or change.Updates are coming from EA and the Battlefield studios, but they're going to take a minute because, well, it's not an easy problem to solve.

  Although Baldur's Gate 3 arguably reshaped the future of the RPG genre as a whole with its monumental 2023 launch, the inspiration Larian Studios' work had on other developers isn't a sign that all new games will be similar to it or draw from its formula.Plenty of other RPGs, after all, are known for their devs' own unique flair – and CD Projekt Red's titles, both released and upcoming, are certainly no exception.

  CloverPit developer Panik Arcade has commented on the monetization efforts of AAA games, saying they resemble casinos.While it has been a landmark year for indie releases with the likes of Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Megabonk, and Blue Prince, Panik Arcade took a page out of 2024's top indies, Balatro and Buckshot Roulette, and realized that the people yearn for gambling-inspired roguelites.

The kicker is that the 4K FPGA console now costs $20 more, but I reckon you can offset that US tariff-related increase using N64 accessory discounts this week.Analogue has confirmed that the price hike is indeed a result of US tariffs, and it means new pre-orders at the store will now cost $269.99 rather than $249.99.
