Now, fans think they've figured out who her replacement is: Angela Sant'Albano, known for playing Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem.

Even though turn-based and real time RPGs 'have their loud, vocal advocates,' Fallout developer Tim Cain thinks they both have a place in the genre

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, legendary developer Tim Cain weighed in on one of the great RPG debates: Turn-based, or real time? But Cain doesn't see it as a zero sum game, instead staking out a sensible, radical moderate position on a topic that can prompt forum knife fights.One unique aspect to Cain's perspective: He zoomed out to "real time" period, not just the OG Baldur's Gate-codified "real time wit

Leakers suggest Chronicles of Elyria boss is working on ElyriaMUD and income generation

Yes, dear readers, Chronicles of Elyria is back in our headlines again, and no, it’s not for any particularly heartening reasons. Since it has been awhile, a refresher: COE is the Kickstarter-funded sandbox MMORPG that has been a slow-moving train wreck ever since, with an abrupt cancellation of development, an unsuccessful lawsuit lodged against the studio by […]

Sraëka Lillian's one-a-week RPG "sketches" are a lovely series of experiments with hoary old conventions from Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest

There's a running joke in the world of THEA-TAH that Shakespeare's Hamlet is a play made up entirely of quotations. I often get the same feeling when I play a fantasy RPG, and especially a fantasy RPG created with toolkits such as EasyRPG or RPG Maker that come with their own freely reusable assets, resulting in a slew of homebrew RPGs that can seem interchangeable, on the surface.

First Impressions: The delicate balance of Stormforge’s dangerous and creative multiplayer survival RPG

If there’s one thing I’ve learned playing the number of survival sandboxes and survival RPGs that I have, it’s that there is a pretty broad spectrum of general experiences they offer. Sometimes they’re laid back and colorful. Sometimes they’re hard-bitten. Sometimes they’re full of horror. Other times it’s whimsy. My brief time within Stormforge, the […]

Steam Week in Review: Here are the 32 Steam games brave enough to release on GTA 6 day

Lord of Undead is a "grim" third-person RPG about building an army of vicious zombies in order to maliciously raze the villages of mortals. The goal is to defeat peace and innocence, all the better for evil to prevail. You also get to build houses. It sounds pretty fun and, as far as I can tell, it's the second most popular game releasing on November 19 behind GTA 6.Lord of Undead does have some advantages. The most

The next big videogame TV adaptation is a Kingdom Hearts anime

I've long held that no RPG is quite as spectacular as Kingdom Hearts, and I'm careful to specifically use the word "spectacular." For every ounce it is great, it's specifically great to gawk at, ideally with a mixture of awe and bewilderment. This is a game series where, if you die at a climactic moment, Mickey Mouse can emerge from your Christian soul and start killing people with a giant stick. It's incredible.A go
