News A Way Out Developer to Announce Next Game at EA Play This Thursday
Another co-op game?
Who could possibly forget Josef Fares? Famed for his "F*ck the Oscars" speech during The Game Awards a few years back, the man is probably more memorable than A Way Out at this point. It was a fairly decent co-op game, but it wasn't quite as good as the head of Hazelight Studios made it out to be. Nevertheless, it looks like...

News The Next Need for Speed Game Is Now in Development
Heat gets cross-play
Last year's Need for Speed Heat wasn't the greatest return to form, but it did just enough to scrape a 7/10 in the Push Square review.

News ANTHEM's Big Overhaul Is Still a Long Way From Release
It's in "incubation"
Back in February, ANTHEM developer BioWare revealed that an overhaul of the game was in the works.

2019 project likely scrapped
Last February, developer Respawn Entertainment teased that it had a "new twist" on Titanfall in the works with a release date of that same year.

Soapbox 7 Things BioWare Needs to Fix to Rebuild ANTHEM
This is the ANTHEM, throw your patch up
Do you remember ANTHEM? I do.

Speed demon
While it wasn't quite the grandest return for the racing franchise, we liked Need for Speed Heat.
