Tony Pankhurst, an actor for Supermassive Games' Dark Pictures franchise, passed away this past May. He was 67.

The actor's family published a tribute page, but offered no details on his passing. They called him a "dedicated football fan," and called for any donations to be sent towards Hospice in the Weald.

Born in 1957, Pankhurst provided the likeness for the Curator, an in-universe narrator who occasionally talks to the player about their choices. The character appears across all four m…

In game development, not everything goes as planned. That also goes for running a game event for your fans.

Austin-based indie publisher Devolver Digital ran into some unexpected problems when it decided to expand its (completely unofficial) E3 presence this year, having to cancel its “Indie Picnic” showcase that would welcome this year’s 15,000 non-industry fans to play indie games from Devolver and other companies.

In short, Devolver paid tens of thousands of dollars to lease a parking lot that could exclusively be used for one thing: park…

Few games wear their inspiration on their sleeve as proudly as Battle Princess Madelyn does. From the moment you lay eyes on its detailed pixel artwork and see the titular armor-clad Madelyn throwing lances at the creeping undead in a murky marsh, you’ll immediately have flashbacks to the classic Ghosts ‘n Goblins series. That’s not a knock against the game–if you’re going to take inspiration for your retro-styled platformer, you may as well take it from some time-tested classics. And when Battle Princess Madelyn is at its peak, it really feels like a worthy successor to those ga…

One of the new quality-of-life improvements introduced in Destiny 2: Lightfall is a Commendations system, digital kudos that can be handed out at the end of several activities. Commendations are also a vital part of the Guardian Ranks system, but getting the required number of them to ascend through the Guardian Ranks requires a serious amount of work. In a response to community criticism over the high cost of commendations needed, Bungie has decided to reduce the number needed for progression.

“To more closely match our goals, we have reduced the required Commendations score to compl…

Fortnite is leaking. It has been for years. In a community of its size, the perpetual stream of datamined details from players inspecting the game’s PC files with each new update makes sense. Fans are ravenous for information on what’s coming down the content pipeline for one of the world’s biggest platforms–be it new game modes, new weapons, or especially new collaborations like Marvel, Ariana Grande, and The Walking Dead. Maybe in some light, Epic would even say Fortnite’s state of constantly being dissected by its players is a blessing. It’s perhaps flattering to be so wanted rather tha…

Recent changes to World of Warcraft’s Classic Era servers are being reverted “immediately,” Blizzard has announced, after the developer apologized for failing to discuss “shortsighted” quality-of-life updates to the old-school version of Blizzard’s long-running MMORPG.

The update, released last week, was originally designed for WoW Classic’s more experimental Season of Discovery servers. However, Blizzard intentionally opted to bring some of the changes to the game’s non-seasonal Classic Era servers too. Those changes allowed Druids to wield polearms, granted Alliance player…
