Forthcoming action-RPG Phantom Blade Zero will have a seamless, non-linear map “just like the Souls games before Elden Ring.”

That’s according to the game’s director, who (ironically) goes by the moniker Soulframe, as interviewed by Games Radar discussing its world design.

“It’s just like the old Souls games,” said Soulframe. “You move around and explore in a seamless map, it’s just not a huge open-world map. But every region is connected together seamlessly.”

BioWare has revealed the voice cast for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which will feature four voice options for protagonist Rook.

Alex Jordan, perhaps best known for making the sex noises in Baldur’s Gate 3, is one of your Rook options. (He’s also Mr Hands in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.)

Alternatively, you can pick from Bryony Corrigan (as seen in Good Omens and The Goes Wrong Show), Erika Ishii (Valkyrie in Apex Legends, Ana Bray in Destiny 2) or Jeff Berg (Battlefield 1). BioWare notes that these actors provide “two options from US/North American personalities and two from the United Kingdom/EU”.

The creators of the cult classic Chibi-Robo! series have announced a spiritual successor, koROBO.

Key members of Chibi-Robo!’s development team are working on the project together under the banner of Tiny Wonder Studios, following the closure of their previous studio Skip back in 2020.

Supermassive Games’ narrative-focused single-player Dead by Daylight spin-off, The Casting of Frank Stone, launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on 3rd September.

Announced last December, The Casting of Frank Stone’s story begins in Cedar Hills, Oregon, in the summer of 1980, when a group of young filmmakers travels to an abandoned steel mill in order to shoot their horror movie, Murder Mill.

In gameplay terms, The Casting of Frank Stone follows the interactive horror movie template Supermassive has been steadily refining across the likes of U…

There’s one last hurdle for players to overcome, however, with developer Team Folon having now confirmed it’ll be necessary to downgrade Fallout 4’s next-gen version to play it – a process thankfully being handled by its accompanying installer.

Fallout 4’s long-promised next-gen update finally launched in April, but its arrival caused some major headaches for the Fallout: London team. The mod was originally due to launch on 23rd April, but it was delayed after Bethesda announced Fallout 4’s next-gen update would arrive two days later – Team Folon admitting it was concerned about potential “complications”. And with good reason, it turn…
