Fans of CD Projket Red’s The Witcher franchise can add another book to their collection soon, as a new hardcover volume celebrating the artwork of Gwent is now available to preorder ahead of its July release. Like the first book, Gwent: Art of the Witcher Card Game Volume 2 will be published by Dark Horse and it contains hundreds of pieces of art from the Witcher card game. Priced at $50, this 248-page book covers eight of Gwent’s expansions and is loaded with quotes and captions from CDPR’s developers and artists.
That approach will give you plenty of insight into how Gwent’s elegant cards were made, and Dark Horse says the book is a celebration of the card game. CDPR began scaling down on Gwent last year, eventually sunsetting the game at the end of 2024 and shifting to somethin…
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is the first player to be welcomed into Club 99 by Madden NFL 25. The honor means Hill has a 99 overall rating in the upcoming football game. He’s joined by several other players, including a tight end who is pretty good at football.
On X/Twitter, the official Madden NFL account shared a video of Hill receiving his Club 99 gifts and honor. Also known as “Cheetah,” the wide receiver was surprised with a suitcase bearing gifts as well as a video message from former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. “This is absolutely the greatest, or the second-greatest day of my life–well, actually the third greatest,” Hill said.
It also means Hill is the top wide receiver for Madden NFL 25, after being listed as …
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced this year’s recipients of the Nobel Prizes in their respective fields of academics and sciences. This year’s chemistry winners for 2024 are DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and famed chemist John Jumper who are sharing half of the prize with David Baker, head of the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington. If Hassabis’ name sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the same developer and co-designer of PC games such as Theme Park and Syndicate.
Aside from being a child prodigy at chess and becoming a master of the game, Hassabis graduated from the University of Cambridge with first-class honors in Computer Science. From there, his games career started at Bullfrog Productions, designing Syndicate. At 17, he became the co-desi…
Transformers: Reactivate, a multiplayer online action game from Splash Damage, has been canceled. The British studio announced the news on social media, saying the game’s cancellation also means some staffers are now “potentially at the risk of redundancy.”
“This decision did not come lightly, and it is a difficult time for the studio and our people,” Splash Damage said, noting that Hasbro was an “incredible and supportive partner” during development.
Splash Damage did not say why Transformers: Reactivate was canceled, however. It said not being able to launch the game is “painful” but saying goodbye to colleagues “hurts even more.” Following the announcement of the game’s cancellation, the first apparent gameplay footage emerged online.
Splash Damage is owned by Leyou…
It’s not often that an existing World of Warcraft class specialization gets a dramatic redesign, but that’s exactly what’s happening to Marksmanship Hunters in the game’s upcoming 11.1 Undermine(d) update.
As detailed in the public test realm patch notes for the update and now available for testing, Blizzard is looking to redefine what Marksmanship Hunters are all about by removing pets from the equation and replacing them with an eagle companion that will support players in a new (albeit less directly controllable) way.
Microsoft is continuing to expand Xbox Game Pass, with new LG Smart TVs coming later this year set to support the service via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to stream and play games directly from the Xbox App on their new LG TV, no Xbox required.

Dragon Ball is one of those properties that’s had its ups and downs when it comes to game adaptations. And when I say downs, I’m talking about pretty incredible lows: bottom-of-the-barrel material like Ultimate Battle 22 and Final Bout that frequently turns up on “worst games ever” lists. But it’s had some highlights, too: The Budokai series made a lot of fans happy, hitting on a formula that satisfied what buyers crave from an anime-flavored fighter: a comprehensive cast, true-to-the-source visuals, and fighting that made you feel like a hyper-powered Super Saiyan.
Sadly, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is not Budokai, instead following in the underwhelming footsteps of more recent DBZ efforts like DBZ Kinect. It’s a confused, overly chaotic mission-based action game that tries to rec…
Ruthless Germany too strong for Italy / Image via eurosport.co.uk
Germany played host to Italy on Tuesday night determined to bounce back from a disappointing 3-2 defeat to England last week which put Joachim Low’s charges under huge pressure amidst the team’s Euro 2016 preparations.
Die Mannschaft rose to the occasion and got back to being their usual selves as they displayed a fantastic performance against otherwise respectable Italy in one of Europe’s greatest classics.
Four goals in the net were more than what Gianluigi Buffon had bargained for, as Toni Kroos, Mario Gotze, Jonas Hector and Mesut Ozil struck to earn their team an impressive win against the Azzuri.
Antonio Conte’s men managed to restore some of the lost pride thanks to Stephan …
Manuel Pellegrini has rued the decision to go public with the appointment of Pep Guardiola as his successor at Manchester City halfway through the season rather than wait until the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
City announced in February that Guardiola would replace Pellegrini as the man in charge ahead of the 2016-17 season when they were still fighting for the Premier League title, only to then lose against Leicester City, Tottenham and Liverpool in the following weeks.
Pellegrini has acknowledged it was his decision to confirm Guardiola s move to City and has indicated he would take care of things differently if he could do it all over again.
Yes, it was my decision [to go public with Guardiola s appointment], Pellegrini told The Guardian.
After Gua…
