Before our meeting with Gavin, we watched him interact with fans at the huge Magic: The Gathering booth. Seeing him sign autographs, pose for pictures, and chat with players, it was obvious his passion for the game and his job is genuine – you can’t put on that kind of enthusiasm.
Despite the success of this year’s Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Ubisoft is still facing challenges due to weaker performances from other recent games like Star Wars: Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, as well as the cancellation of their live-service game, XDefiant. To address this, Ubisoft announced a new partnership with Tencent to create Vantage Studios. Revealed in October, this studio will concentrate on Ubisoft’s biggest franchises: Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six.
In our review, we gave RoboCop: Rogue City a 7 out of 10, praising how well it captures the feeling of being RoboCop and its fresh story set in the gritty streets of Old Detroit. As critic Richard Wakeling noted, fans of RoboCop will appreciate the many references and the game’s faithful recreation of the original films’ atmosphere. The attention to detail is excellent, even including a return performance by Peter Weller as RoboCop. At its best, the game truly makes you feel like the iconic hero.
Despite not being a huge box office success, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves received a lot of positive attention for its great cast, immersive world, and how well it captured the spirit of the original tabletop game.

The idea of Pokémon having different appearances and abilities depending on the region isn’t new. It started with games like Pokémon Sun and Moon, which featured regional versions of Pokémon like Marowak and Exeggutor. This trend of reimagining older Pokémon with new designs and types continued in later games like Sword and Shield, Legends: Arceus, and Scarlet and Violet. Now, fans are wondering if the upcoming Pokémon Pokopia will also include similar regional variations or a related concept.
Okay, so Ambrosia Sky is a pretty unique game – it’s a sci-fi title where you basically clean things up. But it’s way more than that. The developers, Soft Rains, really hit me with a surprisingly emotional story about loneliness and, well, dying alone out in space. It’s a really thoughtful game, not just about tidying up a spaceship!
Recently, most of the news surrounding Rockstar Games has centered on the delay of GTA 6. However, a separate issue involving employee concerns is also gaining attention. Following a letter addressed to management, a former employee anonymously shared with Eurogamer that it’s encouraging to see current colleagues supporting those who were let go and challenging leadership. They described it as a brave move, with employees directly addressing management and insisting their concerns are taken seriously, even when the company seems to be trying to discourage open communication.
