Eli Windham had been doing better. Sober. A steady job. Sunday dinner with his sister every week. And, by all appearances, finally shaking off the shackles of whatever changed him in Vietnam. On August 14, Eli Windham vanished from his home in Musgrove, Alabama. * * * * * * I’ve been dying to talk about To Azimuth again for a while now. The game isn’t a secret by any means (I ran an ultimately unsuccessful Kickstarter for the game, after all), but the project sat in limbo for several months while I worked on the console editions of Three...

Moon Studios’ sidescrolling exploration-platformer Ori and the Blind Forest captured players’ hearts when it debuted on Xbox One last year. And starting March 11, it’s getting the star treatment with the release of Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition for Xbox One, which delivers a multitude of new areas, difficulty options, and gameplay upgrades that should appeal to both new and seasoned Ori players. Current owners of Ori and the Blind Forest can upgrade to the Definitive Edition for $4.99, while all new players can pick up the full game for $19.99, which includes the original Ori. Fans can also purchase official merchandise at the new Ori and The Blind Forest shop. As you can see from the trailer above, it’s a lot to unpack... so we sat down with Microsoft Studios’ Mark Coates, Executive Producer, to break down what fans will discover in the Definitive Edition – and what makes Ori and the Blind Forest such a special, one-of-a-kind journey. Xbox Wire: What makes Ori such...

When the Xbox One Game Preview Program first debuted at E3 2015, it launched with two games: Elite: Dangerous and The Long Dark. While Elite has since graduated to full release, The Long Dark has been moving along in Preview, adding and refining here and there. This masterfully bleak story of survival in the far northern wilderness hides a cruel heart underneath its gorgeous, almost hand-painted-looking visuals. But its developers have continued to improve and expand this chilly tale through its entire life. Now the game is preparing for the debut of an episodic story mode (and subsequent move out...

Hello friends, my name is David OReilly. I’m an artist based in Los Angeles and am from a town called Kilkenny in Ireland. Some of you might be familiar with my films, most of which are short or very short, and more might be familiar with the video game sequences I created in the movie Her. Mostly I am concerned with the medium of 3D and it’s effect on our brains.
I have been working on a new project for a long time with some very talented people, and I’m excited about sharing it with you today.
In Everything, every single thing is a playable character; if you can see it, you can be it. The game lets you see the entire universe from the point of view of the thousands of things in it. In other words, there is no distinction between you and the world, or between a level and a character. All these things experience and interact with the world differently.
Everything lets you be anything you want. If you ever wanted to see what it’s like to be a horse, or a paperclip, or the sun,...
Hi everyone! I’m very excited to announce the inaugural lineup for a new PlayStation Store event called Launch Party. One of the best perks about being on the PlayStation Store team is that we get to work very closely with both first and third party studio teams on previewing upcoming releases. Launch Party is a celebration of our favorite digital games releasing this spring – selected in collaboration with our colleagues on both the 1st and 3rd party teams.
Some of you may remember our yearly Spring Fever campaign, which we’re retiring in name only. We’ll still have great...
Hello from Monothetic! We’re a small, young, independent games development team currently working on our first commercial project. That project is Beacon, a sci-fi action roguelike game currently targeting Windows, Mac, and Xbox One – and we’d like to introduce you to it today. In Beacon, you take control of Freja, a recently-deceased pilot-for-hire whose ship has just crashed into the side of an unknown planet. Luckily for Freja – thanks to her ship’s automated clone bay – being dead isn’t quite the permanent problem that it once was. Played as a top-down shooter, Beacon tasks you with fighting your...

Hey baseball fans. I’m Lance Leahy, one of the game designers at San Diego Studio. I wanted to give everyone a rundown of two brand new game modes coming to MLB The Show this year.
Diamond Dynasty exploded last year and is quickly becoming one of the most popular modes in the franchise. In The Show 16, players will have more ways than ever to play America’s pastime with the introduction of Battle Royale and Conquest game modes.
Battle Royale is the most challenging and competitive game mode Diamond Dynasty has ever seen. In this player-versus-player experience, you’ll be challenged to draft a team and outlast opponents in a double-elimination tournament to acquire unique rewards....
The desire for self-preservation is ingrained deeply within our human nature. Even in the most dire of situations, there’s a primal instinct that kicks in when mortal danger arises. Thankfully, most of us don’t face true peril on a regular basis… but there’s no denying the adrenaline-fueled thrill that comes from pushing to overcome steep odds. In the gaming world, it’s this struggle – the risk and reward – that’s such a big part of what makes survival games so satisfying. More recently, the Xbox One has seen an explosion of interesting and unusual takes on the survival genre, with... See the rest of the story on Xbox Wire
