GSC Game World, the Kyiv-based developer of Stalker 2, has had its website blocked by the Russian government. The Stalker 2 website, unsurprisingly, includes a message of support for Ukraine. The developer has also called for an end to Russia’s brutal invasion of its home country, as it struggles to continue development while Kyiv has been under attack. Now, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation has blocked access to the website for Russian audiences, removing access to anyone in the country without use of a proxy....

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has been delayed to spring 2016, Naughty Dog has announced. The game had previously been due to arrive at the end of 2015.

More info and possibly a new gameplay trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End could be revealed at 2pm GMT today, judging by a new tease from Sony. In a tweet posted earlier today, Sony revealed a brand new screenshot from the upcoming adventure with the caption: “‘Are you ready to seek your fortune?’ Today, 2:00pm GMT/3:00pm CET.” There aren’t any further clues at what to expect other than a few emojis from Naughty Dog, but with Uncharted 4 now just two months away, Sony will be looking to ramp up hype ahead of the game’s release....

Valorant is popular for its fusion of precise gunplay (nudge, wink) and ‘hero abilities,’ a synergy that creates a distinct gameplay experience. Sure, the core loop might be lifted from CS:GO, but nothing really plays quite like Valorant. As far as multiplayer games with big long-legged ambitions go, Valorant is also somewhat unusual because it was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. This, in turn, forced Riot Games to undertake its quest to establish Valorant as the next big esport during a time when LAN events simply weren’t safe or appropriate, let alone accompanying crowds of fans in attendance — a key ingredient to creating a sense of spectacle and excitement, and a signature of esports programs throughout history....

VinFast isn’t the first company to come to mind when thinking about real challengers to Tesla’s EV market dominance, but the fast-growing EV brand may change all that. The Vietnamese EV maker burst onto the scene suddenly in 2017, founded by Vietnam’s first billionaire businessman. In five years, it delivered its first 100 SUVs; a mid-sized all-electric model dubbed the VF8. The first units putting VinFast wheels on the road occurred in Vietnam in early September 2022....
