I sat down with the developers behind World of Warcraft Forever to find out exactly what this new version of WoW is and how it fits alongside WoW Classic and modern World of Warcraft.The team describes WoW Forever as a new “third pillar” for World of Warcraft, built around a fresh level 1-60 journey, new content inside the original vanilla era, and a world designed to keep players exploring and creating new characters.We talk about how WoW Forever works, the fresh level 1 launch, the Legacy system, racial abilities, new zones, the Skyborne race, transmog, the long-term future of the game, and why Blizzard plans to remain in the vanilla era rather than simply following the original World of Warcraft expansion path.If you're wondering what World of Warcraft Forever is, how it differs from WoW Classic, or whether it’s the Classic Plus experience players have been asking for, this interview goes directly to the developers making it.

I recently sat down with Atari’s David Lowey and Mark Perloff to talk about what the company has coming next, and there was a lot to unpack.We discussed RollerCoaster Tycoon: Wonder Works, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Thief, Atari’s retro hardware, Activision classics, Toy Story, Barbie and the larger strategy behind bringing so many older games and franchises back.Here are five of the most interesting things I learned from my conversation with Atari.

Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT is now an Xbox exclusive. Wow. PlayStation Studios reportedly informed Kojima Productions in June that it was canceling its involvement with the project, leaving Kojima searching for a new partner.Three months later, Xbox has officially announced that it will publish PHYSINT, expanding its partnership with Kojima Productions beyond OD. Kojima says the team remains committed to redefining the action-espionage genre, while Xbox says its relationship with Kojima Productions will also expand into film and television.Let’s talk about what happened, why this is such a surprising move, and what it could mean for PHYSINT, Xbox and PlayStation going forward.

Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons was officially revealed at Gamescom, but after the trailer I was invited to a behind-closed-doors presentation and Q&A where the developers shared a lot more about how the game actually works.We learned new details about its open world, exploration, spell system, combat, weapon upgrades, environmental interactions and the relationship between Kaatri and Tasha.The developers also talked about their goal of capturing the experimentation of Dungeons & Dragons without strictly following the tabletop rules. Spells can interact with the environment, new abilities can help you reach previously inaccessible areas, and the team wants players to have plenty of freedom to explore and solve problems their own way.Here’s everything I learned about Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons that wasn’t covered in the reveal trailer.Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is currently planned for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2027.
