Resident Evil Veronica team is adjusting the original's story so its remake fits better into the series as a whole
It's hard to believe there was a time when Resident Evil felt like it was on its last legs .

"GTA is like the ogre" - It's an "odd" year to release a video game, says A Plague Tale studio Asobo
A Plague Tale developer Asobo has called Grand Theft Auto 6 an "ogre" as far as its dominance over 2026's release schedule goes. It's the same year its Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy game comes out, and it joins the crush in late August, a couple of months before GTA 6 crashes in. Read more
While other games try to avoid GTA 6, Phantom Blade Zero has changed its release date to move closer to it
Wuxia-inspired action game Phantom Blade Zero is arguably one of the most anticipated games of 2026, but no game is as anticipated as Grand Theft Auto 6 , as the many calendar shuffles to avoid November have shown.

Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets' new and witchy 1666: Amsterdam demo raises more questions than answers
Few games have a history as turbulent as that of 1666: Amsterdam. This is the project Patrice Désilets - the founding director of the Assassin's Creed series - fought Ubisoft for. It was the project that was in development there in some form 13 years ago, until Ubisoft decided to shelve 1666 - as it was known then - and suspend Désilets , prompting a legal battle that he eventually…

As games pile into September to avoid GTA 6, Ghostrunner studio's promising Soulslike Valor Mortis is shifting its release to escape the rush
It didn't take much of this year's Summer Game Fest to realise that, in racing to escape the orbit of GTA 6 , the games industry has created a new problem : a September 2026 so packed with releases that it's going to take some dedication - not to mention time and money - for players to get through even a fraction of them all. So it was only a matter of time before someone blinked. Which brings us…

Lord help me, Fable's behind-closed-doors demo has got me very excited
It wouldn't be a Fable preview if I wasn't at least a little bit wary of encouraging you to get your hopes up. But, forgive me, I'm going to. I've seen a good half hour of continuous gameplay and, although it comes with plenty of caveats, it really was fantastic.

Despite its trailer, Capcom says its Resident Evil - Code: Veronica remake is third-person and taking its cue from Resident Evil 2
If you saw Resident Evil Veronica's announcement trailer during last week's Summer Game Fest, you might reasonably assume it'll be continuing the modern series' forays into first-person horror.
