This Week in Gaming News: November 25th – December 1st, 2024
Another week has come to an end, and if you’re a regular reader, you’ll know what that means: it’s once again time to take a look at the events of the past week in the gaming industry. We’re in the midst of what many might consider to be a transitional period for the world of gaming; many companies are undergoing layoffs, games are being cancelled, and studios may be rethinking their relationship to standard AAA development. While a sea change may be underway, there are still plenty of smaller, more granular events to look back on, so let’s recap the…
The countdown to Christmas has well and truly begun, and what better way to celebrate the holiday – whether you celebrate Christmas or a different occasion – than with some great games? Believe it or not, December is often a slightly quieter month for games; although it’s the month in which Christmas falls, companies usually want to drum up a little more interest in their titles ahead of time rather than releasing close to the holiday. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any great games to play in December, though, so without further ado, let’s take a look at all the…
This Week in Gaming News: November 18th – November 24th, 2024
It’s fair to say that mid-to-late November feels very much like the lead-up to The Game Awards, a major ceremony that takes place in December each year. At The Game Awards, not only are the most exceptional games of their respective year recognised and lauded, but new game announcements are made as well, making it one of the most pivotal gaming news events on the calendar. Since we’re currently sitting in the lead-up to The Game Awards, we shouldn’t expect too much incendiary news before early December, but here’s our rundown of what’s been happening this week in the industry…
This Week in Gaming News: November 11th – November 17th, 2024
It’s time once again to step into the time machine we conveniently keep around here to take another look at the gaming news that’s happened in the week that’s just gone by. As we’ve said before, the weeks prior to December’s Game Awards are often fairly quiet, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening; it just means some of the big players are staying fairly low-key for now. Still, we’ve got lots to take a look at, so let’s get started. Here are the highlights of the past week in gaming news terms! Dragon’s Dogma 2’s director opens a new studio…
This Week in Gaming News: November 4th – November 10th, 2024
If you’re based in the US, you’ve probably already begun your countdown to Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of November each year. You may or may not also be processing some feelings about this year’s US election, but either way, we welcome you to join us as we take another look at what’s been happening in the world of gaming this week. As ever, there’s plenty to chew on and dissect, so whether you’re trying to avoid the non-gaming news or not, let’s take a look at the biggest news in the gaming industry over the past seven…
With Halloween well and truly behind us, we now look ahead to Christmas, and, more importantly (from the gaming calendar’s perspective, at least), to the Game Awards. Generally speaking, if companies have big announcements to make, those announcements will be made at big events; think Gamescom, the Summer Game Fest shows, and the Game Awards, among others. As such, you might expect things to start slowing down a little now, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s been happening; far from it, in fact. Here’s our latest roundup of the week in gaming news! Bungie shares its first major Marathon update Bungie’s…
In only the last four years, betting on sports has made its way from the margins of society into the mainstream. The long-standing anti-gambling stigma that has been rapidly eroding in American popular culture has resulted in the growth of a massive legal sports betting sector that is now worth billions of dollars. Many states have legalized sports betting, so millions of sports enthusiasts will be looking to gamble for the first time. The number of mobile sportsbook apps and physical sportsbook lounges in the United States is steadily rising. Americans looking for safe, authorized sports betting choices should be…
Traditionally speaking, we’re in the middle of the period when the biggest games are released, and November 2024 has more than its fair share of major games for you to check out.

Here are the best games you can play on any platform in November 2024! Metal Slug Tactics (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch – November 5th) The first strategy RPG in…

Halloween is just a few exciting days away, and after that, the long march to Christmas begins, so there’s plenty to look forward to in the regular calendar. What about the world of gaming news, though? Well, this week has been a relatively quiet one; there haven’t been too many earth-shattering revelations in the gaming world, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any news at all. Let’s take a look back at the week in gaming news and see what’s been going on with some of the biggest (and smaller) companies in the industry. Spider-Man 2 isn’t getting any…

It’s time once again to step back into our very specific time machine, which only allows us to travel a week back into the past, and take a look at the week’s gaming news. You might ask why we’re not using our time machine for more morally defensible ends, and I would reply that unfortunately, the machine doesn’t allow us to interfere, only to observe.

Major gaming event season is now officially over, and the temperatures are really starting to draw in, so you know what that means: it’s autumn at last.

It’s been another eventful week for the gaming world, although since so much is going on inside the industry on a daily basis, that’s almost unnecessary to say.

It’s finally time to say goodbye to the many gaming presentations and showcases of summer and look ahead to autumn and winter, when the biggest releases traditionally land.

August is, generally speaking, the final month during which you can expect hot weather to grace the UK. From September onwards, things start to cool down a little, autumn kicks in, and the gaming release schedule ramps up as well, bringing major AAA releases and indie darlings to tide us over during the cold and cruel winter. That’s not to say there’s nothing to play in August, of course; if you’re the kind of person who prefers to spend their summer indoors playing video games (as we are), then you’re well-served by this month’s release schedule. Let’s take a look…
