Two studios under the 2K Czech banner have been hit by a redundancy initiative, according to information obtained by Develop Online

According to the website more than 40 of the developer's staff has been cut from its studio at Brno, with "less than ten" cut from its Prague studio too. Before the redundancies, 2K Czech had a work force of around 200 people. “This will result in the..

Gearbox Software is in the initial stages of planning a new Duke Nukem title, CEO Randy Pitchford has announced

Pitchford told an audience at PAX — watched by Kotaku — that the studio picked up the Duke Nukem franchise with the intention of making more titles in the series. "And then soon… I know that you guys figured out that, when Gearbox acquired the franchise, we didn't do it just to..

No-one is going to disagree that Borderlands 2 is all about multiplayer, not least developers Gearbox Software

Speaking to Joystiq behind closed doors, Gearbox's Steve Gibson revealed that those playing Borderlands 2's couch co-op mode will be able to take the action online with two other players. There is one stipulation however, according to Gibson. Split-screen players will not be able to join..

Poor Elizabeth

She was thrilled with all the awards BioShock: Infinite won at E3 earlier in the year, but someone at GamesCom had to be a complete meanie didn't they? Horrible Europeans, why did you have to tell her that BioShock: Infinite is still a year away from release? We think we're going to have a little cry too.

Here's your first glimpse of Borderlands 2 ahead of the media blow-out we're expecting later in the week

The trailer focuses on the game's new dual-wielding hero as he shoots the brains out of a variety of fresh foes. The art-style is still great. Expect lots more on Gearbox's RPG-shooter during the course of the week.

It sounds like GamesCom's going to be livestreams galore -- 2K Games will be joining Sony next week in streaming its GamesCom presentation live on the Internet

2K's show is expected to go heavy on Borderlands 2 content, with many of us given a first taste of Gearbox's RPG-come-shooter at next week's show. The livestream's set to hit the airwaves on UStream at 16:00PM BST on August 19th. [Thanks..

It's funny to think that the original BioShock was an afterthought on the PlayStation 3

Released hastily a year after its XBOX 360 counterpart, BioShock as a franchise was closely aligned with Microsoft's platform back in the early days of this generation. But now you can't move without seeing BioShock: Infinite on the front-cover of PlayStation magazines, and Ken Levine on Sony-aligned websites..

Super-addictive four-player co-op is back in Borderlands 2, says GameInformer magazine

But according to the publication, virtually every other element of the RPG-come-shooter has been revved up. More interactive environments, friendly NPCs that actually say more than one word, and a new elemental currency are all in. Bonza. All four original Borderlands characters will feature in the sequel, in..

Forget those rumours from yesterday, 2K Games has officially confirmed Borderlands 2 this afternoon

The game's due for release somewhere between April 2012 and March 2013. 2K's keeping a nice wide window open for the time being. The game's featured on the September cover of US games magazine GameInformer, and will be on-hand at this month's Gamescom. New characters, skills, enemies, weapons and..

Eurogamer's reporting that Borderlands 2 is in development at Gearbox and is due to be announced by 2K Games soon -- presumably at Gamescom

According to Eurogamer's source, the game will launch on PlayStation 3 next year. It's not the first we've heard of Borderlands 2 — the game has been rumoured for months, showing up on developer CVs and in hushed industry whispers. Seeing as we adored the..

It's that time of the year again

The time of the year where publishers of not-quite-blockbuster-games delay their big fall releases because of the looming threat of Call Of Duty and Uncharted and Batman and Battlefield. 2K Games' The Darkness II is the first notable title to be pushed out of its release window, presumably for marketing reasons. The title will now release in February, as opposed to..

Irrational Games boss Ken Levine doesn't do things by half, so it's not necessarily surprising to hear the video games luminary tease his upcoming PlayStation Vita project as being "strange"

In an interview with IGN, the legend reiterated that the game would be something new, and not simply a port of a previous BioShock title. “That’s a new game. That is going to be strange and surprising to..

BioShock Infinite won a whole slew of awards at E3 last month

But the game's demonstration was held behind closed doors. Now GTTV's got the game's full 14-minute blowout on display. We could sit here typing hyperbole, but we think it's best that you hit the jump and enjoy the footage for yourself. This is staggering.

The face of BioShock Infinite's protagonist, Booker DeWitt, has been revealed on the cover of EGM magazine

The character looks rugged and dishevelled in a classy sort of way, sporting an expensive jacket and pin-stripe trouser. One thing we liked about the original BioShock was the mystique surrounding the protagonist, so we're not sure how we feel about Booker DeWitt's big reveal.

Tearing the worlds apart

Maybe it was the way that Rapture gripped us from beginning to end in the original BioShock, or maybe it was the way the game created such a surreal alternate lifestyle in the underwater city that it almost seemed like it could actually be lying in wait somewhere in the ocean depths. Today we grasp at every morsel of...

Irrational's released a new developer diary for BioShock Infinite

No doubt if you've been reading previews for the game, or listening to podcasts, you'll have heard about this section from the game's E3 demo where Elizabeth — your side-kick throughout the game — opens up a portal (or tear) into a 1980s sidewalk while trying to save a horse. The potential for other psychological craziness is..

Despite a number of seriously scathing reviews over the weekend, Duke Nukem Forever has knocked L

A. Noire</a> off its perch at the top of the UK sales charts, scoring a number one finish for the long-in-development FPS. L.A. Noire finished up in second, while Sucker Punch's new superhero escapade finished up just behind Zumba Fitness in fourth. The game probably deserved to do better than..

BioShock Infinite was undoubtedly one of the stars of E3 2011

Popping up at Sony's press conference, Ken Levine explained how Irrational Games was planning to bring PlayStation Move to to the game, as well as develop a brand new entry in the series for the PlayStation Vita. In this developer diary, Ken Levine explains Columbia's skylines — unusual rails which connect the floating world and open..

At last

It's actually real: Duke Nukem Forever is available on British store-shelves nationwide. The release puts an end to a whopping 15 years wait for the game. We sincerely hope Duke's stocked up on plenty of gum during his hiatus. “June 10 in the UK will forever be celebrated as the day that the legendary Duke Nukem Forever went from video game folklore to Earth shattering reality,” said..
