Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, the first game announced in August under the aegis of the newly-revived Sierra, will arrive on November 25 for PlayStation 3, PS4, and PC. Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions will come November 26. The release date was announced on the blog of Activision, which acquired Sierra as part of its 2008 merger with Vivendi Games.

The original Geometry Wars started as a minigame within Project Gotham Racing 2, and soon saw a standalone release for Xbox Live Arcade in 2003 as Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. The classic, arcade-style twin stick shooter was the most downloaded game on Xbox Live Arcade of all time, and was subsequently ported to nearly every platform imaginable. The sequel and this third entry continue to refine the formula of classic, arcade action, proving that, despite all the newfangled gameplay that has come since, the simple pleasures of some classic genres just won’t die.

Black Myth: Wukong’s impact is more important than any award

Sun Wukong holds his staff in Black Myth: Wukong.

More than any other game released in 2024, Black Myth: Wukong took the world by storm. The action-adventure title from Game Science, a Chinese developer, annihilated Steam records in August, peaking at over 2.4 million concurrent players. It comfortably sits in second place among its contemporaries, according to SteamDB. Most recently, Game Science reached another milestone by winning Best Action Game and the Player’s Voice voting at The Game Awards.

While Black Myth: Wukong is an adaptation of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, it has an entirely different narrative hook: a continuation of the tale itself, set centuries after the adventures of Tang Sangzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. In it, you play as the Destined One, tasked with finding the six relics left behind by the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, in an effort to revive him.
