Star Wars: Battlefront 2 fans are raising the game from the dead seemingly through sheer force of will, but that hasn't stopped hackers from trying to ruin the fun

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has seen a remarkable resurgence over the past month or so, with community enthusiasm building to the kinds of player counts the game hadn't seen in years. It's a feel-good story about a community managing to revitalize an old favorite – except for the part where hackers are still trying to ruin everything. While the console versions of Battlefront 2 are fine by all accounts, the PC version has been plagued by hackers for some time.
CD Projekt Red just called Project Orion Cyberpunk 2 for the first time but insists that isn't actually the title, and I think I heard this song before with The Witcher 4

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

The sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is officially entering pre-production, and CD Projekt Red has finally dropped the Project Orion codename in favor of calling it Cyberpunk 2, just like the rest of us have been doing this entire time. The devs would like to make sure you don't get it twisted, though – just because they're calling it Cyberpunk 2 doesn't mean it's actually going to be called Cyberpunk 2.
Switch N64 emulation is about to get a whole lot better, but only on Switch 2 because it takes the power of next-generation hardware to apply a basic CRT filter

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

Switch 2 is nearly upon us, and as we all know the most exciting part of a new hardware launch isn't the new games – it's the new ways to play old games. Nintendo's official N64 emulator is getting some genuinely excellent upgrades on the new hardware, but at least one of those new features doesn't seem like the sort of thing that actually requires next-gen power.
Making a real Switch 2 cartridge instead of a game-key card was "not an easy decision" for the Rune Factory publisher, but "building up goodwill with our fans is always a good investment"

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

Many third-party publishers are taking advantage of Nintendo's game-key card option for their Switch 2 titles, a fact that's causing no shortage of consternation to physical game collectors. One exception is Marvelous USA, the publisher behind Rune Factory and Story of Seasons, but it was apparently a tough decision to go with proper physical cartridges.
Mario Kart World has rail-grinding, wall-riding, and a ska remix of a classic Super Mario Bros 3 song so I think it's an unofficial Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game now

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

Mario Kart World has been inviting comparisons to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater since its full reveal in April, with wall-riding and rail-grinding trick mechanics you can use to reach otherwise inaccessible locations and shortcuts. In a tiny new gameplay clip, Nintendo has made the connection even harder to ignore. They've got ska in this game, folks.
Life imitates art: Clair Obscur Expedition 33 sold 3.3 million copies in 33 days - "Seriously. As of today. We couldn't make that up"

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 had already proven itself a breakout success at launch, selling 1 million copies in just three days. Just over a month after the RPG's release, that success is getting downright karmic, as the devs have announced that the game has crossed 3.3 million units sold exactly 33 days after it launched. "Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," the devs at Sandfall Interactive say in a Bluesky post. "Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies. Seriously.
After 12 years bringing RPGs like The Outer Worlds and Pillars of Eternity to life, Avowed director leaves Obsidian for a beloved former indie that's now part of Netflix

2 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

After twelve years among the RPG legends at Obsidian, Avowed director Carrie Patel is moving on. Patel has announced that she's now at Night School, the beloved and formerly indie studio that's now part of Netflix. "I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Game Director at Night School: A Netflix Game Studio," Patel said in a LinkedIn post yesterday, as spotted by Insider Gaming.
Cyperpunk 2 goes beyond Night City to a new location that "feels more like Chicago gone wrong," according to the creator of the original tabletop RPG

2 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

Cyberpunk 2 – currently only officially known by the codename Project Orion – was officially announced way back in 2022, but the devs at CD Projekt Red have spent the past few years being pretty reticent to reveal any details about the new game. But Mike Pondsmith, creator of the original tabletop RPG that the games are based on, has just let slip a few new details on Project Orion's setting.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment devs say the power of Switch 2 "made it possible to include lots of enemies," and it was "important that you could play with higher frame rates"

2 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | Dustin Bailey

If any game showed the limitations of the original Switch hardware, it was Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which despite broadly positive reviews was taken to task for some serious frame rate issues. With the follow-up, Age of Imprisonment, on Switch 2, the devs seem especially keen to make the most of the new hardware's power. "Nintendo Switch 2 has made it possible to include lots of enemies in our Warriors games," producer Ryota Matsushita says in a new developer interview video.
