The final World Premiere at the Game Awards last night wasn’t the long-awaited return of a beloved franchise or a major studio’s next project; it was a new shooter called Highguard from Wildlight Entertainment. The sci-fi/fantasy raid shooter is led by folks who worked at Respawn on Titanfall and Apex Legends, so there’s some talent behind it. However, the reaction has been somewhat polarizing, and for reasons that aren’t really even Highguard’s fault.  In a vacuum, Highguard looks pretty solid. It has Titanfall’s signature movement abilities, high-octane action, and a mix of fantasy and modern-day aesthetics that lead to fun…

IKEA’s revamp of its smart home products doesn’t end with Matter support. The furniture and home goods company also has a line of new Qi wireless chargers, the best of which, the VÄSTMÄRKE wireless charger, combines the functionality of a PopSockets-style phone grip with cable storage.The $10 VÄSTMÄRKE wireless charger is reminiscent of a bagel or donut, if you could take the top half of those ring-shaped foods and turn them inside out to create a cozy grip for your fingers.

Rian Johnson has another Benoit Blanc hit on his hands with Wake Up Dead Man, in which Blanc tackles the strange death of a fire-and-brimstone parish priest, Monseigneur Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin). It’s a classic locked-room mystery in a spookily Gothic small-town setting, and Johnson turned to cinematographer Steve Yedlin (Looper, The Last Jedi) to help realize his artistic vision. (Minor spoilers below but no major reveals.) Yedlin worked on the previous two Knives Out installments. He’s known Johnson since the two were in their teens, and that longstanding friendship ensures that they are on the same page, aesthetically, from…

Id Software, the company behind Doom, has voted in favor of forming a “wall-to-wall” union. The term “wall-to-wall” refers to a union that includes every employee, regardless of duties. The vote wasn’t unanimous, though a majority did vote in favor of the union.The union will work in conjunction with the Communications Workers of America (CWA), which is the same organization involved with parent company ZeniMax’s recent unionization efforts. Microsoft, who owns ZeniMax, has already recognized this new effort, according to a statement by the CWA. It agreed to a labor neutrality agreement with the CWA and ZeniMax workers last year,…

Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC completes the base game’s incomplete Mega Pokédex. Now, every monster that can undergo one of these superpowered transformations can do so in the RPG, including ones that were omitted from the original roster.

Mega Dimension introduces Z forms for two Pokémon who were already able to Mega Evolve. Lucario and Absol have had standard Megas since the mechanic was introduced in…

In a night filled with gory trailers for loud action games, one of the new reveals at The Game Awards stood out for its gentle nature: Coven of the Chicken Foot. The game defied almost every trend of the night: it was a single-player game, in a beautiful cel-shaded animation style, in which the main character is an elderly woman. This, it turns out, is the first new game from Bruce Straley, one of the co-directors of the original The Last of Us, since he left Naughty Dog in 2017. In an interview with Polygon, Straley spoke for the first time about…
