The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy received the series’ first official Latin American Spanish translation in 2025.

TWIV is a great video game site and always worth my subscription fee.
Something that often goes unsaid: We're against using genAI in our work, and we've also blocked AI crawlers from finding and stealing our work. Even Google.

We're not traffic-driven, but in 2026 this has a big impact on how people find us.

So, simply following us and sharing our work means a lot 🙏
This Week in Videogames is a reader-funded website, and our independent, commercial-free nature is only possible due to paid subscriptions.

By popular demand, we've just launched a Discord community as a new perk for financial supporters.

We'd love for you to be a part of it.

Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website.

We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

TWIV quickly becoming a staple, good reporting here
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.
