The first all-new Katamari Damacy game in almost 8 years is trapped in Apple Arcade jail, and I can only hope it follows in Hello Kitty Island Adventure's footsteps to eventually escape
8+ mon, 2+ week ago (556+ words) I'm GamesRadar+'s Deputy News Editor, working alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming's news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite. Almost eight years since its last totally new game, Katamari Damacy is back with a…...
I'm sorry, but this Disney Lorcana deal is outrageous
10+ mon, 1+ day ago (393+ words) Save 75% on the Gateway beginner box It's no secret that trading card games can be an expensive hobby, but anyone wanting to start Disney Lorcana just got thrown a lifeline. The Disney Lorcana Gateway box " a starter set by any other name " just received a discount that is, to speak frankly, absurd. You can currently pick it up for $6.24 at Amazon instead of the usual $24.99, which is a 75% markdown. That's the cheapest it's ever been. As for UK readers, it's "10 at Amazon rather than "22.99 (a 57% price cut overall). Considering how popular the game has become just a couple of years after launch (it's already made its way onto lists of the best card games, including ours), that level of reduction surprises me. I'm sure as hell not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, though; if you're looking to…...
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 does have "vampire romance," but it's the weird, bitey kind of romance and it's "probably awful" to look at
6+ mon, 5+ day ago (816+ words) I'm GamesRadar's Managing Editor for news, shaping the news strategy across the team. I started my journalistic career while getting my degree in English Literature at the University of Warwick, where I also worked as Games Editor on the student newspaper, The Boar. Since then, I've run the news sections at PCGamesN and Kotaku UK, and also regularly contributed to PC Gamer. As you might be able to tell, PC is my platform of choice, so you can regularly find me playing League of Legends or Steam's latest indie hit. Long-awaited vampire RPG sequel Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will offer "vampire romance." Except it'll probably suck to watch (pun very much intended). Speaking to PC Gamer, Alex Skidmore, project creative director on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which is finally set to launch in October, more than 20 years after its cult…...

Nintendo Switch 2 has an extra USB-C port on top, and I hope that means we don't have to deal with a fiddly dock door for controller chargers and ethernet adapters
10+ mon, 2+ week ago (516+ words) Dustin Bailey joined the GamesRadar team as a Staff Writer in May 2022, and is currently based in Missouri. He's been covering games (with occasional dalliances in the worlds of anime and pro wrestling) since 2015, first as a freelancer, then as a news writer at PCGamesN for nearly five years. His love for games was sparked somewhere between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Knights of the Old Republic, and these days you can usually find him splitting his entertainment time between retro gaming, the latest big action-adventure title, or a long haul in American Truck Simulator. It's Nintendo Switch 2 day, which means the whole internet is breaking apart every detail in the scant official reveal trailer. One detail that might've slipped your notice is that the console features a second USB-C port, and I'm hopeful that means the new console won't make…...
I thought Nintendo had forgotten the incredible N64-era water tech that powered Wave Race, but Mario Kart World is bringing it back on Switch 2

I played Wave Race 64 for the first time last year " it's incredible how impressive the water tech still is after all these years " and it seems Nintendo has finally remembered how fun wave-based gameplay is with Mario Kart World on Switch 2.

Arc Raiders is finally out, and while the devs have acknowledged the "insanity" of launching between Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7, it seems those worries might be for naught. The extraction shooter has launched to strong early reviews on Steam, and even with a $40 price tag it's…...
Hades 2 pulls a reverse Terraria, launching "one more" final update before the roguelike leaves Steam early access and goes to 1.0

Terraria has become the poster child for robust support of a venerable indie game, with so many "final" updates that it's become a long-running joke in the community. Hades 2 developer Supergiant seems to be channeling that spirit in reverse, packing in yet another early access patch…...
