Gamescom 2026: Murals From Dlala Studios Keep Accessible Gaming Fun & Fresh
I first met Dlala Studios CEO and Game Director, Aj Grand-Scrutton, at Summer Game Fest when I previewed Disney Illusion Island a few years back.

Guild Wars 3 Plays Unlike Any Other MMO, And That’s A Good Thing
Guild Wars 3 made its debut earlier this year at Summer Game Fest, but at the time it didn't give eager MMORPG fans much to go on aside from a name and a brief look at its aesthetic.
