NEOCLASSIC GAMES | ELDEN RING | BEAUTIFUL, HOSTILE, UNFORGETTABLE

Elden Ring is not a neoclassic because it sold well, won awards or became one of those games everyone had to talk about for a few months. Those things helped, of course, but they are not the real reason it still feels important. Elden Ring belongs in the neoclassic space because it changed the way many players looked at modern open-world design. It arrived in 2022 and refused to behave like the usual large-scale RPG map. It did not constantly explain itself...

REVIEW | GOTHIC 1 REMAKE | FAITHFUL, FLAWED & STILL GOTHIC

Gothic 1 Remake is a strange kind of return. Not because the original Gothic was ever easy to remake, but because the new version constantly stands between two different ideas of what a remake should be. On one side, it clearly wants to respect the 2001 cult RPG: the prison colony, the harsh social structure, the slow rise from nobody to somebody, the unfriendly world that does not roll out a carpet for the player. On the other side, it now arrives with modern...

BALDUR’S GATE 2: REMAKE | A BELOVED CRPG CLASSIC MAY RETURN

A major piece of CRPG history may be heading back into active development, if a new report proves accurate. According to PC Gamer, Wizards of the Coast is reportedly working on a remake of Baldur’s Gate 2, with Kevin Martens, one of the original game’s co-lead designers, said to be involved in the project. Nothing has been officially announced by Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro yet, so this should be treated as a report rather than a confirmed reveal, but the...

PREVIEW | WITCH OF THE DARK CASTLE | A HANDMADE RPG BOOK

Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle feels like the kind of PC RPG that does not try to win attention by being louder than everything around it. It goes the other way. It looks small at first glance, almost quiet, built around pages, choices, stats, illustrations, and that old fantasy feeling where a sword, a spell, and a bad decision can carry an entire adventure. Developed by veteran artist Yoshio Nishimura, known for work connected to Vanillaware titles such as Odin...

NEVERWINTER NIGHTS 3 | YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN... FIGHTER

Neverwinter Nights 3 does not officially exist, and that is exactly why the idea still carries so much weight. Some RPGs disappear when the credits roll, but Neverwinter Nights never really left. It remained alive through old modules, persistent worlds, community servers, fan campaigns, and players who kept building stories long after the industry moved on. The first two games were never only about their official campaigns. They were about possibility...

THE WITCHER III | SONGS OF THE PAST EXPANSION NOW OFFICIAL

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not done yet. More than a decade after CD PROJEKT RED released one of the most important RPGs on PC, Geralt of Rivia is officially coming back in a new expansion called Songs of the Past. The announcement alone is enough to stop any normal gaming news scroll for a moment, because this is not a small cosmetic update, not a REDkit community pack, and not another anniversary patch. CDPR has confirmed Songs of the Past as the third...

FATEKEEPER | FIRST-PERSON FANTASY ARPG ARRIVES JUNE 2

Fatekeeper now has a proper Early Access date. THQ Nordic and developer Paraglacial have confirmed that the first-person fantasy RPG will launch in Early Access on June 2, 2026, on PC via Steam. That immediately moves the game out of the “interesting upcoming RPG” zone and into something much more concrete, especially for players who have been waiting for a new fantasy RPG that focuses on direct first-person combat instead of another distant...

REVIEW | TES IV: OBLIVION | REMASTERED | OLD STEEL STILL WORKS

The first steps out of the Imperial Prison still have that strange pull. The stone walls, the sudden daylight, the hills opening in front of you, that feeling that the game is quietly saying: go anywhere, make a mistake, find trouble. It does not work because everything is modern now, and it does not work because Cyrodiil suddenly feels like a completely new place. It works because Oblivion was always built around a very specific kind of fantasy: bright hills, broken...

Outward 2 is officially heading to PC Early Access on July 7, 2026, and Nine Dots Studio has now made the hardware expectations much clearer. The survival RPG sequel will launch through Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, while a closed beta is scheduled to begin on May 26, 2026. Console versions are planned after version 1.0, but the Early Access launch is PC-only for now. That makes the system requirements especially important, because PC players wil be the...
