A brand new trailer for Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life debuted during the PC Gaming Show, revealing that an alpha test for the space agency management simulator is, fittingly, on the horizon.

Expanding on its 2020 predecessor, Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life lets you build space bases, design rockets, manage staff, and put together missions to find evidence of life on other planets.

As the head of Mission Control, you’ll be across every aspect of the space mission. As well as researching biosignatures and anomalies to answer sweeping existential questions, you’re also responsible for any pesky explosions or rogue woodpeckers ruining a hard-fought launch. As you expand into the great unknown and upgrade your outfit, It falls to you to make critical narra…

It was over, but now it’s really over: A Business Insider report says Phil Harrison, the former PlayStation and Xbox executive who joined Google in 2018 to head up its Stadia gaming platform, has left the company.

Harrison’s departure is hardly surprising. Despite big promises—overpromising, in the opinion of Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick—and Google’s financial muscle, Stadia never found its footing, much less delivered on its early promise. The first real sign of trouble appeared in February 2021 when Google closed its internal game development studio, leading to the departure of its high profile leader Jade Raymond. Other executives and employees followed shortly after.

Google insisted a few months later that Stadia was “alive and well,” but still faile…

Quite a few PC Gamer folk have been excited for Demonschool since it was announced at the PC Gaming Show in 2022. Rich Stanton said it was “one to keep a disembodied eye on,” Robin Valentine said it has the potential to deliver “the most interesting turn-based combats of 2024,” and Harvey Randall predicted that it could be “another Into the Breach.” That’s a lot of enthusiasm! And so it genuinely pains me to have to be the one to tell them (and you) the game has been delayed into early 2025.

“We did have the perfect release date in Friday the 13th in September,” developer Necrosoft Games said in the delay announcement, “but given how the last years have been and how much we wanted to put into this game, we had to delay it if we wanted to really deliver the game we wanted to give y…

Warhorse Studios has finally unveiled what it admits is probably “the most public secret in the gaming industry”, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The medieval RPG is a direct continuation of the 2018 game, once again following peasant-turned-knight Henry, accompanied by his posh mate, Hans, as they navigate a civil war in 15th century Bohemia. 

The first game was a welcome respite from ostentatious, magic-filled fantasy RPGs. Its tale of knights and intrigue was grounded in medieval history, bolstered by a charismatic protagonist, long jaunts through the Bohemian countryside and tricky first-person duels. Between its adherence to realistic physics and the importance of positioning and the direction of your attacks, it proved to be challenging to master, but incredibly reactive a…

Last week, Inflexion Games published a YouTube video in which CEO Aaron Flynn and art and audio director Neil Thomson assessed the current state of Nightingale and where the studio hopes to take its gaslamp fantasy survival game next. Inflexion’s assessment was unconventionally frank: “We are not satisfied with where the game is at, we’re not satisfied with the overall sentiment, we’re not satisfied with our player numbers,” Flynn said.

Despite the video’s vaguely uncomfortable air—watching it felt like the two developers were expecting me to scold them—it’s admirable for its candor. In updates released since Nightingale’s early access debut in February, Flynn says the studio has worked to address the “shortcomings of the experience,” adding a mu…

OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman is to return as CEO of the company, mere days after his chaotic firing by a board that seems to have lost all support. A deal has been reached “in principle” for his return that will see new board members appointed, and the agreement comes shortly after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had essentially checkmated OpenAI by offering Altman a job and guaranteeing the role and salary of any OpenAI staff that wished to join him.

This is tech politics at the highest level where, as Bob Dylan would put it, money doesn’t talk: it swears. Microsoft has a $13 billion investment in OpenAI and is integrating the company’s machine learning tools into its own crown jewels of office and productivity software. Ever since the announcement of Altman’s firing on Friday last w…

A team of researchers at the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences says it has created a record-breaking 711 Wh/kg (watt-hour per kilogram) rechargeable lithium battery.

The previous record belongs to the research team at Dalhousie University in Canada, which made a 575 Wh/kg anode-free pouch cell just last year. The Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers tested their battery at 711.3 Wh/kg, with a volumetric “energy density” of 1,653.65 Wh/liter, making it the highest energy density lithium battery on record.

For context, the energy density of Tesla’s new 4680 cells is 272-296 Wh/kg. This team (via New Atlas) made a battery cell with nearly double the energy density, meaning you’ll get more juice with much less weight—but there are some challenges t…
