Writer slips up and reveals the premise of the upcoming RE Requiem DLC

A story DLC for Resident Evil Requiem was announced just a few months after the base game’s release. It has been confirmed that the expansion will likely arrive after the Veronica remake, which is expected in late 2027. While Capcom has been fairly secretive about the DLC, it seems one of the game’s writers has now revealed an important story detail. Haris Orkin – a freelance video game writer, narrative designer, screenwriter and novelist – talked about his contribution to Requiem in an interview at MEADOWLARK COMIC CON. Besides Requiem, Orkin has worked on numerous AAA titles, including Resident Evil: Shadows of Rose, the DLC for Resident Evil Village.

GPT-6 Astra sulked after losing a StarCraft tournament, so it decided to cheat

Years before the invasion of LLMs developed by companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, programmers built their own bots to compete in competitive games and to test the capabilities of AI and their own skills. In an interesting new experiment, StarCraft fans threw these bots into a big battle arena, where they went head-to-head with bots designed by modern AI. However, in an attempt to keep up with the competition, GPT-6 Astra decided to cheat in the middle of the tournament. StarSkirmish is a competition between bots facing off in StarCraft: Brood War. Each LLM can only play as Protoss and gets one hour to build its bot in C++, after which it sends the bot out to build a base, gather resources and fight…

Jagex announces RuneScape 4, the first RS game built in Unreal Engine

On the main stage of RuneFest 2026, Jagex officially unveiled RuneScape 4, a brand-new MMO set in the world of the famous franchise. It is the first RuneScape title to be developed in Unreal Engine, but the studio says it will play like a “typical Jagex game”. It was also revealed that the project was originally conceived as an expansion for Dragonwilds, but quickly grew into a standalone game. Development is still at a very early stage, so we’ll probably be waiting a while. “We embraced the idea of an expansion with great creative ambition and enthusiasm. However, when we saw the first prototypes, we realized development was heading toward something far bigger that deserved to become a game of its own.” The RuneScape 4…

REVIEW: HORIZON: ZERO DAWN

Срочный займ на карту http://mirziamov.ru Earth. Year, unknown. A bleak future is before us. Humanity had survived, bereft of all benefits it used to enjoy.

Diablo 1 Anniversary Patch: Blizzard of The ‘North’

If you are an avid Diablo 3 player then you damn-well know that Blizzard has released the Diablo 3 content patch 2.4.3, which introduces a wide variety of changes that improve and streamline the company’s action RPG, Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls. The most painful thing about this long-awaited update is that it cannot really be described as actual content. Don’t expect new characters (or old ones) or any dialogue (apart from a few narrated scripts lurking around the levels). Blizzard is paying homage to its legendary RPG and polished Diablo 3 in the process. At times, it does feel too much like a gimmick, so we sincerely hope you didn’t anticipate some sort of remastered edition of Diablo 1, because that’s not what this…
