EA are making more of their accessibility tech free for other devs to use, including a personal game coach
After offering up some of their accessibility inventions for free a couple of years ago – including the context-aware ping system seen in Apex Legends and code for a colourblindness tool – Electronic Arts are opening up even more of their accessibility features for anyone to use.
Yes, there will be another Resident Evil remake, Capcom confirm – but they won’t say which one just yet
Surprise, surprise: Capcom are working on another Resident Evil remake in their successful series of ground-up rebuilds for the survival-horror franchise.

God-bothering Soulslike Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn gets a flashy new gameplay trailer
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, previously described by Ed as “an exciting action-RPG mix of Elden Ring and God Of War” has a new trailer – and cat-lovers, you are in for a treat, because this game has a cat called Enki which you can use as a magic grappling hook and a handy source of lightning for your groundpounds. Enki has big cute ears and a beaver’s tale, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s related to one of those awful, many-limbed gods Flintlock’s protagonist Nor Vanek is trying to slay.
I’m sorry, it’s my first time writing about Flintlock, and I realise the “OMG it has a cat!” ship has probably long since sailed. Only hang on, Ed thinks Enki is a squirrel, while Graham thinks it’s a dog. Which of us is correct? Developer A44 Games describe Enki as “fox-like”, further muddying the waters. There’s only one thing for it: you’ll have to watch the video and decide for yourself.
