I cannot remember the last time I put this many hours into a game for a review. And still, I'm sitting here, writing this, itching to play more of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Despite some odd decisions for an RPG of this depth and scale - a single save slot and diluted difficulty, to name two - I haven't played a game that has captivated and fascinated me like this in years. This is Fire Emblem at its peak, a game as sharp and satisfying as Awakening on the 3DS, with character work and story as compelling as Three Houses. It summons the same sense of wonder and scale as those multi-disc PS1 RPGs did back in the 90s. Developer Intelligent Systems has refined all the map-building, scenario-setting work it did with Engage and iterated it alongside the storytelling tour de force of Three Houses to create something exceptional, no matter what direction you look at it from. This, right here, is a reason to buy a Switch 2.

Augmented by a momentum mechanic that rethought stamina for the fast-paced fights, and a still best-in-class 'morale' system that encouraged exploration and completionism, Wo Long has a permanent place on my harddrive.

Tucked away at the bottom of Rockstar's blog post today announcing GTA 6: The Album was a line about other updates to come for the game regarding its sound and music.

\n\n\n\n

Rockstar said fans should \"stay tuned for more details about the music of GTA 6,\" and specifically the game's \"dynamic score.\" Additionally, Rockstar teased that GTA 6 will feature the \"next evolution of in-game radio, and more.\"

\n\n\n\n

This does not tell us a whole lot. However, it was previously rumored that GTA 6 will feature people like DJ Khaled hosting his own in-game radio station. Drake, meanwhile, may have his own station, too. Beyond this, another unconfirmed rumor claimed that Rockstar will allow Spotify subscribers to import their own playlists into GTA 6.

\n\n\n\n

A previous trailer for GTA 6 showed Lucia wearing earbuds. People theorized that this could mean players will be able to listen to music while walking around, instead of only while driving.

Spotify has been heavily promoting GTA 6 already, so the two companies are clearly already working together, but it remains to be seen how deep the partnership might be.

\n\n\n\n

In any event, the GTA series is known for its music and artist collaborations, so it would be no surprise to see Rockstar up the ante with GTA 6. The upcoming GTA 6 album features 34 songs written for GTA 6, including new music from Keith Richards and Travis Scott.

\n\n\n\n

GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC edition expected to follow sometime later.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in development since 2015, and a lot of things have happened since then, including the recent discovery a new species of cat.

\n\n\n\n

The scientific journal Current Biology disclosed the discovery of Leopardus tilcayo--known as the tilcayo tiger cat--this week. The adorable little creature is smaller than your typical housecat, featuring spots and round ears. According to the discovery, the cat species was found in the Bolivian Yungas forest.

\n\n\n\n

The tilcayo tiger cat is the first new cat species discovered in over 100 years.

\n\n\n\n

Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, a co-author of the report, told NBC News that it is currently unknown how many of the cats remain in the wild. She said she discovered the cat basically by accident. She volunteers at a wildlife rehab facility close to La Paz, Bolivia and noticed a tiny cat that she thought was a kitten.

\n\n\n\n

The cat was brought to the facility by a man who was caring for it, feeding it rice and eggs, and later giving it up when he was unable to care for it. Genetic testing was undertaken, and it was discovered that it was indeed a brand-new species of cat never before discovered or documented.

\n\n\n\n

As for more gaming-related things that have happened since GTA 5 came out, GameSpot recently assembled a collection of some of the biggest news stories, including Halo coming to PlayStation, the release of 15+ Call of Duty games, the entire run of Phil Spencer as Xbox CEO, and more.

\n\n\n\n

The wait for GTA 6 has been so long that it's spawned the, “We got ___ before GTA VI” meme. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said he is aware of these memes. “I’ve seen some of those,\" he said.

\n\n\n\n

The wait for GTA 6 is nearly over, as the game is scheduled for release on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game will not ship on a disc, but if you want a disc with GTA 6 printed on it, you can buy the game's soundtrack.

The upcoming 99 Nights in the Forest movie, based on the super-popular Roblox survival-horror game, has reportedly brought on a very big name.

\n\n\n\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Studios--which is owned by Disney--has hired Josh Cooley to write the script. Cooley directed the Oscar-winning Pixar movie Toy Story 4. He also earned an Academy Award nomination for Inside Out. Beyond Disney movies, Cooley directed Transformers One.

\n\n\n\n

99 Nights in the Forest is coming to the big screen.
\n\n\n\n

99 Nights in the Forest is developed by Grandma's Favourite Games and exists on the Roblox platform. It remains one of the platform's most popular games, boasting nearly 150,000 players right this moment.

\n\n\n\n

20th Century bought the rights earlier this year following what was reported to have been a \"competitive\" dealmaking process.

\n\n\n\n

A survival game, 99 Nights in the Forest has players trying to survive for 99 nights in a haunted forest as they fight monsters and save missing children. The developers behind the game–Alec Kieft, Matthew Hufton, and Cameron Angland–will be executive producers for the movie.

\n\n\n\n

20th Century was also behind the Hitman and Assassin's Creed movies, so 99 Nights in the Forest is not the studio's first video game film.

\n\n\n\n

99 Nights in the Forest is also not the first game hosted on Roblox to get a movie deal, as Grow a Garden and Steal a Brainrot also landed Hollywood development deals.

No Notes.","link":"https://www.gamespot.com/articles/street-fighter-movies-popcorn-bucket-is-absolutely-perfect-no-notes/","date":"Thu, 17 Sep 2026 17:55:30 +0000","desc":"\n

Popcorn buckets for movies are all the rage today. Basically every big movie has one. But they aren't all created equally. One popcorn bucket that looks like it could be the best one yet is for this October's Street Fighter movie.

\n\n\n\n

Revealed today by Cody Rhodes, the Street Fighter popcorn bucket, which will be exclusive to AMC locations, is modeled after his character Guile's epic hair. The popcorn goes in the bucket, and then you can put it on your head and grab the popcorn from up there. Or you can plop it in your lap and eat the popcorn normally. In a word, the popcorn bucket is perfect. If you need three words, Rhodes said the popcorn bucket is \"aerodynamic, ergonomic, delicious.\"

\n\n\n\n

Check out the glorious announcement video for the Street Fighter popcorn bucket below.

\n\n\n\n

Tickets for the Street Fighter movie go on sale this coming Monday, September, 21. Presumably that's also when people can reserve one of these popcorn buckets, so the price should be revealed soon.

\n\n\n\n

The Street Fighter movie releases in theaters on October 16. In addition to Rhodes as Guile, the film features Noah Centineo as Ken, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Jason Momoa as Blanka, 50 Cent as Balrog, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, and Eric Andre as Don Sauvage.

\n\n\n\n

The film is directed by Kitao Sakurai, who is known for his work on The Eric Andre Show, Twisted Metal, and Beef.

\n\n\n\n

While the Street Fighter movie isn't releasing until October, the next video game movie, Resident Evil, hits theaters on September 18--it's getting rave reviews.

Ahead of its release next month, the official PC specs for Gears of War: E-Day have been revealed. The next game in the series has looked good in recent previews, and if you're aiming to reach a high level of fidelity, you're going to need some fairly chunky PC hardware for 4K gibs and perfect reloads. The good news is that no matter which graphics preset you choose, you'll only need 16GB of RAM--welcome news considering just how much memory costs in the current tech climate.

\n\n\n\n

One thing worth pointing out is that graphics cards without dedicated ray-tracing hardware aren't supported. It's not the first time this has been the case--Indiana Jones and the Great Circle being a prime example--but it does create a hard generational lock for interested players. By making ray-tracing hardware a baseline requirement, the game completely phases out massively popular GPUs like the GTX 1060 or AMD's RX 5000 series, making the RTX 2060 the absolute minimum threshold for playing the new Gears of War.

\n\n\n\n

Developer The Coalition says it has continued to iterate and improve PC stability and performance across a wide range of hardware configurations since July, and if you're aiming to run the game at 1080p and 60fps, you'll need a GPU like an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, an entry-level RTX 5050, or an AMD Radeon RX 6600 with 6GB of VRAM. Hitting the 1440p 60fps sweet spot increases the hardware requirements to GPUs with 8GB of VRAM, while running the game at 4K 60fps means you'll need a 12GB GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.

\n\n\n\n

It's also worth noting that a solid-state drive is required for the game's installation files, and you'll need to free up 115GB of storage space on it. Across the presets, you can expect support for upscaling technology like Nvidia DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 3.0T, which will ease the burden on your PC. The Coalition added that the game includes a benchmark tool to help you fine-tune how it runs on your system.

Launching on October 6 for Xbox Series X|S and PC, and day one on Xbox Game Pass, Gears of War: E-Day chronicles the first disastrous encounter between the humans living on the world of Sera and the Locust. The developers behind it recently spoke to GameSpot about a wide range of topics, from solving lore problems to how you strip the flesh off of enemies in the game's new take on Horde mode, and it looks like there's even a Smash Mouth-inspired achievement that you can earn if you want to be a real all-star.

World of Warcraft: Forever, Blizzard's next evolution of WoW Classic that will see significant changes and content additions, is fully playable on controller.

\n\n\n\n

I got to experience WoW: Forever's new Skyborne elf starting zone with the control scheme during a hands-on demo at BlizzCon 2026. A prompt outlining the controls noted controller support was in an \"alpha\" state, but despite supposedly still being in early development, it worked surprisingly well.

\n\n\n\n

That's a first for Blizzard's MMORPG. Though Blizzard has added barebones support for controllers in recent years, an entirely mouse-and-keyboard-free setup relies on unofficial, player-made add-ons like ConsolePort to deliver a true console-like experience.

\n\n\n\n
\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQuKE0KDgiM\n
\n\n\n\n

From what I played at BlizzCon, Blizzard adding a fully featured controller option could be a game-changer. Despite having played WoW on a mouse and keyboard for 22 years, I was shocked at how natural it felt. Cycling through friendly or enemy NPCs is done with the shoulder buttons. Interacting and jumping are done with the face buttons. Abilities and spells are bound to both the d-pad and the face buttons, with additional keybinds accessible by pressing one or both triggers. Each trigger provides access to eight keybinds, with another eight from holding down both triggers at the same time. Combined with the d-pad, you have 28 buttons at your fingertips. 

\n\n\n\n

That sounds like a lot of buttons, but in some scenarios, particularly in WoW Classic or WoW: Forever, it might not be enough. Certain classes, particularly spellcasters, are notorious for having access to an almost comical number of skills and abilities in WoW Classic. This is largely due to many spells having multiple ranks, with lower ranked versions doing less damage or healing but also costing less mana. That makes them still useful in certain situations, but definitely clutters up one's action bars.

\n\n\n\n

Outside of the actual basics of using combat abilities and talking to NPCs, WoW: Forever's controller support felt a little more cumbersome. On keyboard and mouse, opening your inventory is as easy as hitting the \"b\" key and then clicking what you want. On a controller, it requires bringing up a radial menu, sliding over to the inventory section, and then cycling through all the items in your bag until you reach the one you're looking for. Considering players can have dozens of items in their bags at once, trying to select what you want definitely feels slower and less straightforward than is ideal.

\n\n\n\n
\nhttps://twitter.com/JezCorden/status/2099219123922182558?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2099219123922182558%7Ctwgr%5E53ac5f169755e08f4ae3f2b1fe7853e8398273a2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wowhead.com%2Fforever%2Fnews%2Fworld-of-warcraft-forever-will-have-full-controller-support-382873\n
\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, full controller support for WoW: Forever might be more suited for some classes or particular playstyles over others. The modern \"retail\" version of WoW, currently in the middle of its most recent Midnight expansion, would arguably benefit from controller support even more than WoW Classic or Forever. Modern WoW generally has fewer buttons to press and less inventory management to do, and I could see this controller setup working wonders for those who want to run some delves on their couch or casually complete world quests.

\n\n\n\n

Blizzard's full plans for WoW controller support aren't currently clear. The demo labeled controller support as an alpha, and Blizzard announced during the show Forever will be fully playable with a controller come launch on November 4. It made no announcements regarding if the feature will eventually come to retail, though considering how much DNA is now being shared between the multiple versions of WoW, it seems safe to assume it will. GameSpot has reached out to Blizzard for comment and clarification about its plans for controller support, and will update this post if we hear back.

\n\n\n\n

The elephant in the room is whether Blizzard's controller initiative will pave the way for an eventual console version. Blizzard is, of course, currently owned by Microsoft, the owner of Xbox. Fans have speculated given WoW: Midnight's user-made add-on restrictions (something that will carry over into Forever) and its pruning of many class abilities last year that Blizzard was setting the table for a console version.

\n\n\n\n

It wouldn't be too shocking to see WoW at long last make its debut on Xbox, though Blizzard made clear last year that if it were making a console version, it would tell fans about it. Handheld PCs, including Xbox-branded ones, are also more popular than ever before, and WoW receiving full controller support would open the way for the MMO to be officially playable on those devices as well.

\n\n\n\n

Regardless of whether a console version eventually happens, having a fully functioning controller option still feels long overdue from a simple accessibility standpoint on PC. Seeing that Blizzard is finally hard at work delivering one is nothing but good news. From what I played, it's simple, intuitive, and perhaps even easier in some ways than playing on mouse and keyboard, though I'm sure there are scenarios, like inventory management, where it might leave something to be desired. Whatever Blizzard's full plans for controller support are, it can't come soon enough.

Rockstar has described GTA 6 as a \"single-player experience,\" but everyone expects the game to eventually include a multiplayer element given the enormous success of the existing GTA Online. But when could GTA 6's online multiplayer release? According to Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, fans can expect it sometime in 2027.

\n\n\n\n

He said this in an interview with Bloomberg (via IGN), saying Twitch spent \"a lot of time talking with Rockstar about their plans.\" He said Twitch stands to benefit from GTA 6's release, too, because content creators will flock to it and stream footage on Twitch. But Clancy theorized an \"even bigger\" bump to Twitch numbers could come in 2027 \"when they launch multiplayer.\"

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
GTA 6 launches in November.
\n\n\n\n

To be sure, Rockstar has not announced anything at all related to multiplayer support for GTA 6. Given that Clancy said his teams had been engaged with Rockstar, his comments come across as more than just random guesswork.

\n\n\n\n

GTA 5 also did not launch with multiplayer support. The game released on September 17, 2013, with GTA Online debuting a few weeks later. What Clancy is suggesting is a longer period between the single-player and multiplayer releases.

\n\n\n\n

GTA Online has been enormously successful, bringing in lots of money from microtransactions over the years. The game has a dedicated fanbase of passionate players, which might make it challenging for Rockstar to convince people to move on to a new version.

\n\n\n\n

GTA 6 releases on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC edition is expected to follow.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 launches in November for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but is it also going to release on PC? It won't at launch, but history suggests it will come to PC further down the track. Now, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has commented on the company's approach to PC releases generally.

\n\n\n\n

At the company's virtual shareholder meeting today, as reported by GamesRadar, Zelnick said Take-Two's general approach is that the company will put out games \"for any platforms for which there is a meaningful audience.\"

\n\n\n\n

Intriguingly, Zelnick went on to say that, \"the PC is becoming more and more important to our company over time.\"

\n\n\n\n

Again, he was not talking about GTA 6 here, but rather Take-Two's approach to PC generally. In any event, these comments only further the idea that it's a matter of when, not if, GTA 6 comes to PC (of course).

\n\n\n\n

Historical precedent for Rockstar's PC releases

\n\n\n\n

Rockstar's latest releases, including Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) and Grand Theft Auto 5 (2013) launched first on console and later came to PC.

\n\n\n\n

GTA 5 came to PC in April 2015, which was 18 months after the game originally launched on console in September 2013.

\n\n\n\n

Red Dead Redemption 2, meanwhile, came to PC faster. The game's PC edition released in November 2019, which was just about a year after the game debuted on console in October 2018.

\n\n\n\n

What does it all mean for GTA 6? We don't know, but it's a safe bet that GTA 6 will eventually come to PC, and people should likely expect to wait at least a year.

\n\n\n\n

Rockstar and Sony have a co-marketing deal for GTA 6, but that's not the reason why GTA 6 isn't coming to PC at launch. Zelnick told Bloomberg that Rockstar Games is known to launch GTA games first on console before PC, and that is because, “I think with regard to a release like that you’re judged by serving the core [audience].”

\n\n\n\n

When Zelnick joined Take-Two in 2007, he said PC sales made up only around 5% of total sales volumes for the NBA 2K series. That’s changed a lot since then. “Now with regard to a big title, PC can be 45, 50% of the sales,” he said.

\n\n\n\n

Bringing GTA 6 to PC after console could also create a second selling cycle for the game, with people even possibly buying the game twice. “We’ll see how it works out,” Zelnick said.

\n\n\n\n

\"Priortize what sells\"

\n\n\n\n

In 2023, a former Rockstar developer offered up a theory on why GTA 6 won’t come to PC at launch. Mike York, who worked on Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, said Rockstar wants to “prioritize what sells.”

\n\n\n\n

“Most of the time, especially in the past, PlayStation was the big seller. PlayStation was the console to have. It sold more copies than any other console for the most part, everybody is playing PlayStation,\" he said.

\n\n\n\n

In other news, Rockstar just announced GTA 6: The Album, and unlike the game itself, it will be available on a disc.

October is going to be a tough month for anyone on a budget, as a ton of big games are coming up. Sandwiched between an already-packed September and the November release of GTA 6, how does any game stand out from the pack? In the case of Valor Mortis, a launch price of $40--and day-one availability via Xbox Game Pass--might be a winning combination to help it shift units.

\n\n\n\n

\"We've had many discussions over the past year about the price of Valor Mortis,\" developer One More Level and publisher Lyrical Games wrote in a statement. \"We believe the game has the quality, fidelity, and playtime in its 20-hour story to go toe-to-toe with many 'full price' titles. Still, this fall is stacked, and there's high demand for your time and money.\"

\n\n\n\n
\nhttps://twitter.com/ValorMortis/status/2100570811677770189\n
\n\n\n\n

One More Level added that cosmetic packs will also be released in the next few months, and if players want to support the studio, they can purchase a Deluxe Edition that includes unique weapon skins alongside the base game and a \"major\" story expansion arriving in 2027.

\n\n\n\n

Speaking to The Game Business, Lyrical Games boss Blake Rochkind said the decision to price Valor Mortis at $40 came from confidence in the game. \"We find ourselves as one of the only new IPs launching in what is objectively the craziest fall in the history of this business,\" Rochkind said. \"Not only do you have GTA looming large in November, now you have the Zelda remake, Control coming out in a couple of weeks, Silent Hill: Townfall, Phantom Blade Zero, Gears of War, Call of Duty--by virtue of the development schedule, the cards we’ve been dealt is that we are one of the only new IPs launching this fall.\"

\n\n\n\n

Rochkind added that selling Valor Mortis for $40 allows it to be an \"and game,\" something that players could add to their basket while purchasing one of the high-priced titles out later this year. Having it launch day one through Game Pass also helps it reach players who might have ignored it and probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place. \"Game Pass has reached a maturity point in this business where there are 'Game Pass gamers'--people who play games on Game Pass and were unlikely to buy the game day and date anyway,\" Rochkind explained. \"We're happy to be on Game Pass, and I’m not really concerned about cannibalization. For every game that is ‘cannibalized’ by Game Pass, another game gets amazing word-of-mouth because of it.\"

\n\n\n\n

Announced last year, Valor Mortis is a new entry in the souls-like genre, but with a twist—it's in first-person. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, players find themselves exploring European battlefields infested with strange monsters caused by a mysterious, plague-like substance. As a revived Grande Armée soldier known only as William, it's up to you to master strange new skills and powers to stay one step ahead of Napoleon's monsters and their telegraphed attack patterns.

\n\n\n\n

Originally scheduled to launch on September 24, Valor Mortis will now launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 13.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most-anticipated game releases ever, and despite the enormous hype, Rockstar and owner Take-Two are going to market the game aggressively. Why does the game even need a marketing push? According to Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick, just because a franchise is popular and well known, that doesn't mean the company behind it can take their foot off the pedal in terms of spending time and money on marketing.

\n\n\n\n

Zelnick said 2023's The Barbie Movie is a good example of this.

\n\n\n\n

“All of us saw the Barbie movie, and they marketed the living daylights out of that picture. Even though the IP is very well known. Secondly, it was out there for a while. We all got the joke of what it was going to be. They did a phenomenal marketing campaign. It was really everywhere, and, by the way, it worked,\" he told GamesBeat.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

For any \"broad-based entertainment\" property, companies \"don't have a choice\" but to spend significantly to push a new release, and GTA 6 is no exception, Zelnick said.

\n\n\n\n

\"You always have to go out and create enthusiasm. So, awareness is one thing; enthusiasm is another thing. And we have to show people what they’re going to get,\" Zelnick said.

\n\n\n\n

He said Take-Two's investors have asked him why the company needs to aggressively push GTA 6 when it's a game everyone on Earth knows about. Zelnick said he learned from his time as a movie executive years ago that if your product is no good, \"you can market the living sh** out of it, and people will still not notice the marketing.\" And if the marketing is terrible, \"you can turn people off.\" If the marketing is good, however, \"you can create more excitmement.\"

\n\n\n\n

\"And the whole goal that we always have, whether it’s this upcoming launch or any other title, is to take awareness and turn it into excitement, and take the lack of awareness and turn it into awareness,\" he said.

\n\n\n\n

Also in the interview, Zelnick said Rockstar's partnership with Netflix for the GTA 6 extended trailer was akin to a \"tutorial\" to help fans see the game in action and understand why they should buy it.

\n\n\n\n

“What Rockstar did was incredible, but there was an element of tutorial baked in there, right? It just was a different kind of proposition,\" he said. \"If you look at Rockstar’s marketing previously for Grand Theft Auto titles, there are actual tutorials. This was just a different way of giving the same information, which I thought was really impressive. Rockstar figured out how to do that to entertain us for 27 minutes while also explaining to us how you’re going to play the game.\"

\n\n\n\n

GTA 6 releases on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC version expected to follow sometime after. In other news, Rockstar just announced GTA 6: The Album, and unlike the game itself, it will be available on a disc.

After touring the wastelands of extinction-level events in Death Stranding, what's next for Hideo Kojima? The veteran game designer is keeping busy with two projects that Xbox will publish, and one of them is a return to his roots of tactics, espionage, and action: Physint. Still years away, Physint is already building buzz ahead of its eventual release, with new details slowly trickling out as development continues. First revealed during the PlayStation State of Play January 2024 showcase, here's everything that we know about it so far.

\n\n\n\n

Physint release date

\n\n\n\n

Physint doesn't have a release date yet, and don't expect it to be out for quite some time. Kojima himself has said as much, as the earliest release window for the game could be as far away as 2030. Back in 2025, Kojima said he'd just started work on his horror game OD and that Physint was in a \"conceptual\" stage of development.

\n\n\n\n

Physint platforms

\n\n\n\n

With the game so far away, we could be looking at a next-gen release when it does eventually arrive. Now that Xbox has stepped in to publish and help develop it, it's a safe bet that it'll launch for PC and whatever form the next-gen Xbox console, Project Helix, eventually takes.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Death Stranding 1 and 2 saw Kojima team up with several famous faces to play characters in his post-apocalyptic world, and for Physint, he already has several big names attached to it. Swedish actor Bill Skarsgard (It, Boy Kills World) will play the lead role in the game, and he'll be joined by Charlee Fraser (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga), Don Lee (Train to Busan), and Minami Hamabe (Godzilla: Minus One).

\n\n\n\n

\"We are both longtime fans of each other's work, and we've decided to embark on this new adventure together,\" Kojima said in a press statement about the casting of Skarsgard. \"The costume fittings, scans, and camera tests we conducted with Bill and Charlee earlier this year gave me tremendous confidence in the direction of the project.\"

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So far, the only glimpse we've had of Physint to date is a teaser poster featuring the game's protagonist, cloaked in shadows. The tagline for the game is \"here comes the feeling,\" and Kojima has teased that Physint will \"break the barrier\" between movies and games.

\n\n\n\n

That's not an unusual approach for him to take, given that his projects usually have multiple lengthy cutscenes, and Kojima is aiming to push the limits of video game graphics to new heights. \"If your mother walks in and sees you playing this game, she'll think you're watching a movie. I'm not sure how far we can take it yet,\" Kojima said in a HideoTube episode.

\n\n\n\n

We also know that Physint will be a spiritual successor to Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series. The developer says that he was inspired to develop Physint after recovering from a severe bout of illness during the COVID pandemic; he wanted to respond to fan requests to create another Metal Gear. Having already proven that he could still create original experiences with Death Stranding and OD, Physint was born from a desire to respond to his fanbase.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Physint was originally being developed in partnership with PlayStation, but its parent company Sony later confirmed that it would no longer be working with Kojima Productions on it. The official statement never provided a reason why Sony decided to drop the game, but scuttlebutt from around the industry suggested that the Death Stranding games hadn't generated massive returns for the time and money spent on them. According to a Bloomberg report, people familiar with the project had expressed concerns about Physint’s development, as it had reportedly missed deadlines and was going over budget.

\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Xbox stepped in to save the project. \"We're honored that Kojima-san has chosen Xbox to work with Kojima Productions on Physint,\" Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said in a statement. \"His ambition to challenge conventions reflects the kind of creativity we want to support at Xbox.\"

\n\n\n\n

Kojima assured fans that despite the change in publishers, development on Physint \"is ongoing and will continue moving forward,\" even in its current early phase.

Microsoft has announced the next DLC for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and it's a plane that costs more than the game itself. The Airbus A380 is now in the game, and you can get it for $74.50. For comparison, the game itself costs $70.

\n\n\n\n

It is a digital version of the \"superjumbo,\" four-engine, wide-body airliner made by Airbus. For people who aren't up to date with this kind of the thing, the A380 is the world's biggest commercial passenger plane, with 10 airlines operating them, including Emirates, British Airways, Qantas, and Lufthansa. There are fewer than 200 in service around the world.

\n\n\n\n
\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpjx_tQLgPo\n
\n\n\n\n

The developers worked with longtime partners iniBuilds to make the A380 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's part of the game's \"Exclusive Series,\" which means it will only be available for three months.

\n\n\n\n

According to the developers, the in-game A380 is a highly detailed, carefully crafted virtual version of the plane, featuring \"full fight deck modeling\" and \"extensive interactive controls, displays, and aircraft systems.\"

\n\n\n\n

The plane features a long list of details to mirror its real-life counterpart, even including \"potable water and waste simulation.\" Here's to hoping the pee and poop simulation systems aren't too realistic. The plane also has \"functional on-board showers\" for its digital recreation in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

\n\n\n\n

The soundtrack releases on November 19 alongside the game, and Rockstar is offering \"multiple vinyl and CD\" versions at retailers. So yes, GTA 6 will be on a disc, or at least the soundtrack will be. The game itself, though? That's a digital exclusive.

\n\n\n\n

For now, Rockstar released six debut singles that can be streamed today. These include:

\n\n\n\n

You can preorder multiple versions of GTA 6: The Album now, including a limited-edition vinyl for $125, the standard-edition vinyl for $50, and on a CD for $20. The limited-edition vinyl offering comes with two transparent magenta discs \"filled with blue liquid.\" As you can see in the image below, it looks great.

\n\n\n\n

Rockstar also said fans can look forward to more music-related GTA 6 announcements to come soon. \"Stay tuned for more details about the music of Grand Theft Auto VI, including the dynamic score, the next evolution of in-game radio, and more,\" the studio said.

\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The $125 limited-edition vinyl looks pretty snazzy.
\n\n\n\n

The announcement of GTA 6's official soundtrack comes just after a number of famous artists posted teasers that suggested something was in the works.

\n\n\n\n

Music has always been a big part of the GTA series, and that trend is expected to continue with GTA 6. The franchise is known for its numerous in-game radio stations featuring real, licensed music from world-famous artists.

\n\n\n\n

It was previously rumored that GTA 6 will feature people like DJ Khaled hosting his own in-game radio station. Drake, meanwhile, may have his own station, too.

\n\n\n\n

GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is expected to be a huge hit, but anyone who bought stock in the company’s owner is hurting currently.

The Tokyo Game Show kicked off this week, and Xbox dropped a new broadcast showcasing what its Japanese partners are up to. The Japanese market has been a tough nut to crack for Microsoft--especially with Sony and Nintendo enjoying a home-field advantage--but Xbox has had a presence there for the last 20 years.

\n\n\n\n

Hosted by Misuzu Araki, this year’s Xbox TGS broadcast offered exclusive content and new gameplay. It also took place at a very early hour for anyone residing across the pond, and we're betting that you might have been sleeping when it was on. Fear not! As usual, we've grabbed all the announcements, and you can read through everything below.

\n\n\n\n

This was a compact livestream, mostly focused on smaller games being developed by Japanese and Asian studios, but there were a few pleasant surprises. We got a campaign trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Crazy Taxi continues to look wild, and Hideo Kojima even popped in to reveal the actors joining him to play characters in his new action-espionage game, Physint.

\n\n\n\n

Here's a breakdown of everything that was shown off:

\n\n\n\n

The show is kicking off with a new look at the Gachiakuta: Breakout game. If you haven't seen it, it's a pretty cool anime series about the value of trash--no really--and the manga source material is even better thanks to its cool illustrations. It looks like this will be a faithful adaptation, with plenty of action to enjoy.

\n\n\n\n

Crazy Taxi

The next Call of Duty game is out next month, and once again it looks like we're in for conspiracies, action, and covert operatives spouting military jargon. Call of Duty campaigns are usually good for a weekend of popcorn action fun, and Modern Warfare 4 looks like it'll be a blast as this trailer dives deeper into John Price’s shadow operations.

LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule is reportedly working on a new social-sim game, similar to Animal Crossing, and it may release next year.

According to a new report from MP1st, Media Molecule has been tinkering away on its next game for quite some time now. The studio's next project is reportedly in the vein of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, utilizing the kinds of social-simulation elements that those games are known for. Not much else was revealed about its gameplay, but this report goes on to say that the team will announce and release the title in 2027, should everything go according to plan.

Earlier this year, a Media Molecule employee revealed that the next game on their resume would be open-world, creating all kinds of speculation about what the studio was drumming up. The developer's last game, Dreams, was released in early 2020, but failed to catch on despite being extremely ambitious. This also comes at a time when PlayStation is being particularly brutal with where it's choosing to invest its money.

Media Molecule's fate may hinge on the success of its next project, since Dreams failed to soar. Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint, was nearly canceled by PlayStation until Xbox came in and saved it. PlayStation also shuttered Bluepoint earlier this year and made significant cuts to Bungie following the underperformance of Marathon. Hopefully, Media Molecule can make something that can replicate the success of Animal Crossing, but on PlayStation.

OpenAI’s newest model, GPT-6 Astra, got so depressed after a creeper upended its progress in Minecraft that it listlessly farmed potatoes for hours and grew paranoid of anything green.

Vals, a self-described independent evaluator of artificial intelligence, put Astra to the test to see how the model would fare playing Minecraft in a 21-hour experiment live streamed on Twitch.

The results were wildly unexpected; Vals discovered that Astra was able to go “further than any AI system had ever gone” in the game, setting up a semi-automatic blaze farm that allowed it to collect six blaze rods, killing more than six endermen, and collecting three pearls, which it placed inside a chest for safekeeping.

GPT-6 Astra had gotten further than any AI system had ever gone in Minecraft.

Thousands of viewers watched Astra’s progress on Val’s official Twitch channel, bearing witness to the AI model’s despair when a creeper appeared and blew up both the chest and its bed.

As most human players would feel when faced with this situation, Astra “seemed to get extremely frustrated” by this turn of events, with Vals saying the model told itself, "ALWAYS CARRY CRITICALITEMS withkeepInventory; don'tstoreinunguardedchesteveragain."

After getting peeved, the model then “appeared defeated,” and spent the next several hours “doing essentially nothing but farming potatoes.” Astra also appeared to have gained some kind of post-traumatic stress induced by the creeper incident, telling itself “GREEN tall thing ahead was SUGARCANE, NOT creeper!"

Here, the most expensive creeper explosion occurred. Later, on a coincidentally rainy day, Astra discovers it lost everything. It all went downhill from here. pic.twitter.com/xH2Vc4QyM2

It even berated itself, saying, "You can screw up and drop things,” "Our last tool stupidly ended Slabsselected/rightUP and 15sec thinking killed us,” and “Do NOT waste another night chasing dark pink pixels," which Vals noted was Astra’s “own disparaging wording for pigs.”

The incident quickly went viral on social media, sparking no end of memes and remarks of “same” from users online. And while its ability to play Minecraft is somewhat impressive, it’s small potatoes compared to the alarm bells being rung by former staff at Anthropic.

On September 8, one of the company’s former lead researchers announced his resignation online — along with a chilling warning to everyone about the future of AI, claiming these models will “soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.”

US President Donald Trump, however, is of the opinion that these warnings are a “hoax,” and called AI the “oil of the next 20-25 years.” For now, at least, it's having a hard time playing Minecraft. We can only hope Skynet won't have a vendetta toward vertical green objects when it eventually becomes sentient.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on PS5 appears to be more popular than Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone in the United States.

Today, PlayStation dropped a new update that lets players easily see the most popular games in their country. In the United States, the list is largely what you might expect, as you can see below.

  1. Fortnite
  2. Minecraft
  3. Grand Theft Auto 5
  4. NBA 2K27
  5. Marvel Rivals
  6. Rainbow 6 Siege
  7. MLB The Show 26
  8. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
  9. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
  10. Marvel's Wolverine

The list is topped by games like Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA 5, sports games, the newly released Marvel's Wolverine, and some other free-to-play titles. However, there is one anomaly: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Earlier this summer, Activision released ports of the first two Black Ops games, which originally debuted over a decade ago on PS3. They're widely regarded as some of the best Call of Duty games ever made, and fans were surprised to see them return out of the blue. The two titles dominated the sales charts over the summer, but now it appears that Black Ops 2 has totally eclipsed the modern Call of Duty games.

Black Ops 2 is the 9th most popular game on PS5 as of this week, while the Call of Duty HQ app (which encompasses Black Ops 6, Black Ops 7, and Warzone) is nowhere to be found. It's entirely possible that fans have largely jumped off of the modern Call of Duty games and are getting their fix on the older titles while waiting for Modern Warfare 4... or maybe they're just sick of the newer Call of Duty offerings.

Call of Duty burnt a lot of fans with Black Ops 7, which was underwhelming both in terms of sales and player reception. There's some hope that Modern Warfare 4 can turn things around, but with GTA 6 on the horizon, the window to do so will be fairly limited.

Treyarch also appears to be saying goodbye to the Black Ops franchise, as the team revealed today that it's looking to do something "new" and "something that nobody's ever experienced before." Treyarch may be able to do that in another Black Ops game, but the easiest way to achieve those aspirations would be the let go of the baggage of the series in favor of a new subfranchise for Call of Duty. It will likely be a few years before we see what Treyarch is planning, but it should be interesting to see where they take things from here.

","media":"https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/06/08/black-ops-2-key-art-1780955021839.jpg"},{"title":"Backrooms Director Kane Parsons Visits Valve Offices as Portal Movie Rumors Rise","link":"https://www.ign.com/articles/backrooms-director-kane-parsons-visits-valve-offices-as-portal-movie-rumors-rise","date":"Wed, 16 Sep 2026 21:52:28 +0000","desc":"

Kane Parsons is fueling rumors of a potential Portal movie after he posted photos from his visit to Valve’s offices on his personal Instagram profile.

At just 20 years old, Kane Parsons is one of the most successful young filmmakers in history. His debut movie, Backrooms, grossed roughly $393 million at the global box office against a comparatively small $10 million budget, earning high praise from critics and fans alike.

Even acclaimed video game director Hideo Kojima lauded the movie, which is based on a 4Chan creepypasta greentext that has sprawled into a massive fan-made universe with oodles of spinoff indie horror games, artwork, and YouTube videos like the ones that made Parson the obvious pick to helm A24’s film adaptation.

The future is looking bright for Parsons, and he’s been visiting a few high-profile spots in the wake of Backrooms’ success… including the offices at Valve. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a video on the filmmaker’s Instagram stories on September 16, which showed a windowed room in Valve’s HQ at sunset.

This isn’t the first time Parsons has paid Valve a visit; he also dropped in back in June, similarly sharing photos from his trip on Instagram. These posts are making fans more hopeful than ever that there’s some kind of collaboration brewing with one of Valve’s games, especially given his public love for Portal.

Speaking to the New York Times in May, Parsons admitted that making a Portal film was a “dream” project for him, and said that the game was a big inspiration for his own work. This isn’t a huge surprise, as he all but admitted to sneaking a Half-Life sound effect into Backrooms in an interview with IGN’s Tom Jorgensen.

There could be a snag in bringing Portal to the silver screen, though, as JJ Abrams was originally attached to lead a film adaptation of the game through his production company, Bad Robot. This was first announced in 2013, alongside news that he would also be making a Half-Life movie, though things have been stagnant ever since.

Speaking with IGN in 2021, Abrams claimed that Portal was still in the works at Warner Bros., but we haven’t heard anything about the project in the five years since then. This fact has not gone unnoticed by fans, many of whom are hoping against hope that Valve has decided to pivot and work with Parsons, instead.

“I mean, how long [has] that Portal and Half-Life movie been in production by J.J Abrams, like what… 2013? “If Kane is really gung-ho about making a Portal film, then I don’t see Valve wanting to stop him,” one fan wrote on X.

“Portal was already supposed to get an adaptation from JJ Abrams, thank God that didn’t happen. So I’d say there’s a decent chance of it happening,” another speculated.

For now, the futures of these possible Portal and Half-Life films are up in the air… but Parsons is making it easy to imagine what his take on Valve’s iconic game franchises would look like.

Spotify appears to be the next big streaming giant to partner with Rockstar Games for GTA 6's marketing.

The music streaming service has begun putting up billboards in Los Angeles and New York featuring the GTA 6 artwork that was released by various artists yesterday. Travis Scott, Future, Morgan Wallen, and a handful of other musicians all posted unique artwork that resembled Rockstar's signature style, but neglected to reveal exactly what they were teasing. This cryptic tease now appears to involve Spotify.

Many assumed that this was Rockstar's way of teasing these artists might have music in the game, but it may be much bigger than that. Some running theories have speculated that the artists could release exclusive music for GTA 6, something Rockstar did with Dr. Dre for a GTA Online update a few years ago. However, Spotify's inclusion may mean there's even more to this; the platform might provide exclusive teases of some music that could be featured in GTA 6 ahead of the game's release as part of its marketing push.

More billboards from Spotify IG https://t.co/yQE5NmmmsI pic.twitter.com/CLX6lK3MIW

— Tex2 (@TexFunz2) September 16, 2026

Some have also theorized that GTA 6 may have some kind of Spotify integration, allowing users to listen to their own Spotify playlists in-game. Given how much money Rockstar spends on curating music for its games and how much effort goes into crafting its radio stations, it seems difficult to imagine this, but it's entirely possible. Either way, it's clear Spotify has some kind of partnership with Rockstar Games on GTA 6.

Rockstar previously teamed up with Netflix to debut the first gameplay trailer for GTA 6, resulting in the premiere being the most-watched thing on the streamer during its first week. Rockstar Games personally pitched the idea to Netflix, so it wouldn't be surprising if a similar thing is happening with Spotify. Rockstar is also planning to do all kinds of unprecedented marketing in Miami, with signage being built as we speak in the city.

GTA 6 will officially be two months away from release this Saturday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Rockstar plans to put an end to all the teasing and unveil what it's doing with Spotify by the end of the week.

Editors note: This article is brought to you by Champs Sports

The NFL season is finally here, and if you’re like me, this is the time when you really start to pour hours into the latest Madden release. NFL football is only airing three days a week, and sometimes that’s just not enough! In many ways, Madden mirrors much of what makes watching the NFL great, from playing as your favorite team to building franchises with your favorite players on your fantasy teams. As such, it only makes sense to take your love and energy for the game and carry it into real life.

If you’re on the hunt for a way to represent your favorite teams and players wherever you are, Champs Sports has numerous officially licensed NFL jerseys that can help you show your team pride beyond the game. From now through September 23, you can earn $20 FLX Cash with the purchase of a jersey.

Buy an NFL Jersey, Get $20 Bonus FLX Cash

If you’ve spent most of August building your franchise around a star quarterback, running back, or defensive standout, grabbing his jersey is a no-brainer. Even if you already own a jersey from your favorite player, you can grab an alternate color and change things up. There are also kids' jerseys for the young NFL and Madden fans in your life.

Jerseys aren’t the only way to rep your team, of course. Champs Sports also has sideline apparel that players and coaches wear on game days, plus fan hoodies, top quality T-shirts, hats, Crocs and much more. So if a jersey feels like too much, there are plenty of other ways to show your fandom.

Whether you’re in-game ready to punch in the game-winning touchdown in an online match or sitting at a bar cheering for your team, there’s arguably no better way to rep your team than apparel. That $20 FLX Cash can take off money on your next Champs Sports' purchase (within 30 days), and it’s not often you can grab a new piece of officially licensed gear for your team while also putting money toward your next piece.

The voice actor behind GTA 5’s Franklin went viral after revealing his personal disagreement with famous Twitch steamer Kai Cenat, but the two stars are on good terms again.

Shawn ‘Solo’ Fonteno is the voice behind one of Grand Theft Auto’s most iconic characters, Franklin Clinton. He made an appearance on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream as a special guest back in 2024, where he took the influencer on a tour of the neighborhoods in Los Angeles that appeared in the game’s fictional city of Los Santos.

However, Solo said this was likely the last stream he’d ever do with Cenat due to the broadcaster’s interaction with a young fan that happened during their outing.

In a September 2026 episode of the Dope As Usual podcast, Solo explained that Kai Cenat approached a young fan during the stream who came from a struggling family. According to Solo, Cenat had offered to buy the fan a motorcycle — but Solo says he never made good on that promise.

“This was a family that didn’t have much at all, bro,” he recalled. “It was probably 15 people living in a one-bedroom home. I know these people, and I help them out at times. …Kai was cool, cordial with them, talking to them, ‘What you want? What can I get you?’ And the kid was like, ‘I wanna bike, can you get me a bike?’ He said, ‘What kind of bike?’ and the kid said, ‘A motorcycle!’ He said, ‘We gon’ make it happen.’

“I persisted to keep calling after that… let about a week go by, and texted, texted, tried to call, ‘Hey man, honor that [promise] with this kid, bro. It’s just a bike. [It’d] probably be about a thousand dollars, twelve hundred dollars or less, I don’t know, but you gave that kid this promise. And now you’re making me look bad, because I brought you here, and you gave this kid that promise.’”

Solo said he even approached Kai’s friend and fellow streamer Fanum about the issue, who the actor says ignored him.

“I’m standing on it, man,” he continued. “I’ll look into any one of these cameras like, ‘Bro, you a f**ked up dude for that.’ To me. You’re a very f**ked up dude. I don’t give a f**k how you feel about it. To me, that was not cool. If I make a promise, especially to a kid, I’mma honor it.”

The podcast went viral, prompting a wave of backlash toward Kai Cenat for allegedly failing to keep his promise to the child. Fans were convinced that he and Solo now had bad blood as a result of this issue — but just a day later, Solo confirmed that he and Kai were on good terms once more.

Solo revealed the news in an Instagram comment on September 16, which he wrote in response to a clip from the podcast episode. “I just talked to Kai and it was an honest mistake and it’s fixed. Thanks @kaicenat,” he said.

GTA fervor is at an all-time high after Rockstar’s immensely-popular preview for Grand Theft Auto 6 aired on Netflix last month. Fans can’t wait for the highly-anticipated game to finally release in November, and with major music artists and platforms like Spotify dropping cheeky hints on social media and billboards across Los Angeles, it’s clear there’s a lot more in store as the clock ticks down to launch in two months.

Netmarble's Raven2 is a blockbuster dark fantasy MMORPG with a player base that covers the globe. Fans from 155 countries can't get enough of creating their own custom avatar down to the last detail before guiding them through a strife-filled world where you're often forced to fight for your very existence.

With so much fighting in Raven2, it's easy to feel "shut out" of the adventure before you even have a chance to get your bearings. The Raven2 – Zero server update lets you get a fresh start with less pressure to spend money. Thanks to its redesigned progression system and overhauled competitive structure, less-entrenched Raven2 players can quickly get a foothold in the game just by playing it and earning valuable rewards. That means the Zero update lets you remain competitive in its apocalyptic world without fear of getting merc'd because you didn't pay up to get an edge over everyone else.

Raven2 – Zero lets you choose from 10 different classes, with each one offering a new combat style. Marked with the dreaded Cursed Stigma, your role is to vanquish demons and monsters as you travel across the world to investigate strange happenings in a dying land.

A dying land that's also highly competitive. Raven2 – Zero is the ideal option for anyone who feels like they've been pushed out of Raven2's because of hardcore PvP competition between established players. Raven2 – Zero is a much-more laid back server that's focused on lowering the adventure's barrier to early progression. It does this by greatly reducing quest requirements and increasing EXP gained from fighting monsters. Accuracy balance has also been re-adjusted so that players can progress through hunting areas with more ease.

Raven2 – Zero also reduces pressure to spend money on progression by excluding Mythic-grade Holy Garments, Familiars, and Awakenings on the server. Instead, playing Zero gives you access to a variety of Holy Garments and Familiars. And you can earn Holy Garments and Familiars - the highest-graded equipment available on Zero by participating in events. Everyone must build themselves up by progressing through the game, not by immediately buying top gear.

And there's lots to discover when other players aren't out for your blood. You're left free to enjoy the fundamental Raven2 – Zero MMORPG farming experience, especially since Zero bumps up equipment drop rates for field loot drops. A pretty fitting reward for sticking it out on fields filled with abominations.

Field hunting is also how you collect "Farming Crystals," a new currency that you can only collect while playing the game. These crystals can be exchanged for key items from the Shop, so your hard work is directly rewarded. And new accuracy balances means your contributions in large-scale battles are registered instead of being chalked up to miss after miss.

The Raven2 - Zero update welcomes new players. Everyone who joins is gifted the [Zero] Special Starter Package, which contains the Heroic-grade Holy Garments and Familiars. You can also look forward to receiving 550 Summon scrolls, as well as Legendary Holy Garments and Familiars, all of which will go a long way to growing your character without tons of grinding. More Heroic-grade equipment and level milestone rewards are coming through other events to further reduce spending pressure , Lapsed players are especially welcome to join the server via some Welcome Back events that offer Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar, 330 Summons and more, alongside an ongoing Burning Event designed to support faster progression - making this an ideal time to jump into or return to Raven2.

Entering a new MMORPG that's been around for a while is kind of like entering a new school where everyone's friend groups are already established. Raven2 – Zero eliminates that sinking feeling by giving everyone the same level ground to stand on. There's still tons of fighting to be done on this new server, but it's more about wailing on monsters than fighting other players. You're free to carve your own life in Raven 2 – Zero, even if the life of someone marked by the Cursed Stigma is usually brutal.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is adding a big new jet to its fleet, but it comes at a big new price. The "superjumbo" Airbus A380 is now available for the hyper-realistic multiplatform sim on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 for $74.49 as part of the Flight Simulator Marketplace-exclusive "Exclusive Series." It is only available for the next three months.

As announced on the official Flight Simulator website, the Airbus A380 includes two liveries at launch with more to come later, exterior and interior modeling in high detail, "full flight deck modelling with extensive interactive controls, displays and aircraft systems," a deeply layered avionics system including navigation, autopilot, flight management, and aircraft monitoring systems; two unique engine variants with accompanying performance differences, a "bespoke A380 flight model designed around the aircraft’s enormous mass, inertia and unique handling characteristics;" a functional cockpit printer (!), and a whole heck of a lot more. Seriously, the price may be bonkers but the attention to detail on this is absolutely incredible.

IGN loved Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, with former IGN staffer and Air Force veteran Seth Macy awarding it a 9 out of 10 review score upon its release. It has since made over a dozen content updates as well as having launched on VR platforms too. The original Microsoft Flight Simulator took home a 10 out of 10 review score from Seth in 2020.

Heart Machine, the development studio behind titles like Hyper Light Drifter and Possessors, is in dire straits after a publisher withdrew their funding for an unannounced project.

The news was shared to LinkedIn by Heart Machine’s founder, Alx Preston, on September 16, 2026. Preston explained that the publisher funding this unannounced title “decided to no longer move forward with it,” and without this income, the studio was forced to lay off “nearly everyone.”

“It's devastating,” Preston wrote, going on to confirm that all people involved would be given “as much support as possible, including assisting with placement.”

Currently, Preston isn’t certain whether or not Heart Machine will survive this devastating financial blow, but says that its existing team will “keep pushing to build a path.”

“Thank you so so much to all of the incredible people who contributed their efforts and talents to making amazing things at the studio. Thank you to our amazing community and fans,” he said.

Heart Machine’s most recent offering, a search-action game titled Possessors, released in November 2025. It received mostly positive reviews from fans, with IGN’s Matt Kim calling it a “fast-paced action-adventure” with “rapid-fast” combat that lets players “wield a computer mouse like a whip.”

Its most famous title, Hyper Light Drifter, is a heavily-stylized 2D action game that has become a cult classic among fans over the last decade, with IGN praising it as a “gorgeous, fast, fluid trek in a neon apocalypse.”

Heart Machine is the latest studio to hemorrhage employees after Double Fine laid off around 25% of its staff in late July. These layoffs were a direct result of the studio going independent due to Xbox’s massive restructuring efforts this summer, which saw the two companies part ways, though Double Fine got to keep its IPs in the amicable ‘divorce.’

Despite this setback, Double Fine founder Tim Schafer has made it clear that he’s moving forward at full speed, saying “no one puts Double Fine out of business besides me” — and fans are hopeful that Heart Machine will also survive this latest hit with a similar amount of moxie.

And earlier today, multiple employees at Build a Rocket Boy announced that they were laid off, casting further doubt onto the studio's future following Mindseye's rocky launch last year.

Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami will officially be honored with the Hall of Fame Award at the 30th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards ceremony on February 18, 2027.

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) announced the news today and shared that Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda (SUDA51) will present the award to his "close friend and creative collaborator."

Marvel’s Wolverine has kicked off no end of debates on social media, with the latest of these centering around a chase sequence that sees Logan weaving through traffic on a motorcycle.

Insomniac’s new superhero game is the latest hot-button topic in the gaming community. Well before it even released, players were calling out early gameplay footage shown off by the media, taking umbrage with a Sentinel boss fight (it was too formulaic), its voice acting (who hired these anime voice actors for my grisly X-Men game?) and Logan following a scent trail to track down enemies (too hand-holdy).

Now that it’s finally out in the wild, players have had a swath of mixed opinions on the title; some are absolutely loving it and finding it a decent challenge, while others are disappointed by its combat, perceived lack of difficulty, and impossible-to-fail QTEs.

This last complaint has reared its head specifically around a sequence where players are meant to chase down enemies on a motorcycle, dodging and weaving through traffic on a winding highway in the mountains. Logan is desperately trying to rescue a group of captured mutants who’ve been shoved onto a truck, and the situation is dire — but some players have discovered that he’ll successfully catch up to the bad guys regardless of whether or not you actually pilot him in the right direction.

One of the most viral examples of this came from an X user named Clint Beastwood, who claimed to have put down his controller to see what would happen to Logan if he didn’t interfere. The result was Logan bouncing off of guard rails like a high-stakes game of pinball, somehow making his way through the sequence without dying.

However, it is possible for him to die after getting hit by on coming vehicles, though he’s paradoxically more likely to meet an untimely end if players actually take hold of the controller and try to help him avoid ending up like a bug on someone’s windshield.

He CAN die. You do not need to control the bike. https://t.co/76EI4lDAy8 pic.twitter.com/6mPKHnxNne

The resulting conversation has been a heated one; players are at odds with each other, with some finding this a comparatively small issue in a sequence meant to get players from point A to point B, while others, like YouTuber ChicoFilo, are calling the lack of player agency “just ridiculous.”

“This here is a total disgrace,” Brazilian influencer Eloohzinha said. “It's [a] QTE that you don't even need to press, it's a bike that you don't need to ride.”

Isso aqui é esculacho total. É QTE que você nao precisa apertar, é moto que voce nao precisa pilotar. É pérola atras de perola. Realmente, o prego no caixão foi esse wolverine. Ultimo jogo bom do estudio foi Ratchet And Clank e ja era. pic.twitter.com/hRUFzxmNDe

“If Wolverine gets hit while on the bike, he can die. So you do need to control the bike. It’s posts like this that hurt real conversations around games,” popular YouTuber Mightykeef argued. “...if you can die, then it’s not autopilot. You need to control the bike, or else you can die and start over again. This type of on-rails segment happens in hundreds of action games.”

“Keyword being ‘if,’ when ‘if’ shouldn’t exist,” another user hit back. “There’s plenty of videos already out there showing players getting through the entire sequence without dying, regardless of difficulty.”

For now, players will just have to pick up the game themselves to form their own opinions on it. We at IGN gave it a six out of 10, saying its “good character work props up flashy combat that wears thin over time.” (Personally, I’m enjoying the game so far, and haven’t been annoyed by scent trails or QTEs just yet. I also liked the Omega Red boss fight, which seems to have been tripping up quite a few players onine.)

A pirate known for cracking games that utilize the DRM software Denuvo is being hit with a lawsuit... but that isn't stopping them from continuing on.

For years, PC games have attempted to shield themselves from piracy with a DRM software known as Denuvo. The software is meant to be difficult to crack, with the hope that it will protect the game from becoming available for free on piracy sites around the time of launch. It does its job to a degree, as it took about a month and a half for Resident Evil Requiem to be cracked... and it was achieved by a pirate known as voices38.

As spotted by GamesRadar, the pirate is now being sued by Denuvo, so long as the company can actually identify who they are. The company is working to unmask this anonymous pirate and there's likely hope that even if they aren't successful, the pressure of an investigation will maybe spook voices38 into disappearing. That's not the case, though. voices38 took to Reddit to issue a statement, telling fellow pirates that "all is fine" and "everything will continue as normal."

It's an interesting story, and one that only feels all the more relevant with the recent GTA 6 leaks, when a leaker obtained access to the build of the highly anticipated game and taunted Rockstar Games with various messages. Once the game was properly revealed, the leaker vanished, and as of a month later, there has been no word as to whether or not they've been caught. Whether they'll return to cause more chaos remains to be seen, but it is pretty evident that online hackers and lawbreakers are getting good at evading detection.

Whether voices38 can continue to crack these games and get away with it is up in the air, but they certainly think they can.

If your Steam library is in need of some new PC games to play this fall, Humble's impressive Isometric Immersion CRPG Pack is worth checking out. In total, it comes with 11 games - including big hits like Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - that have a total cost of $291, but you can snag them all for as low as $23.

That's an incredible offer to be able to add all of these games - which you can see fully listed out below - to your Steam library. The bundle won't be available for long, though. Humble's store page states that it comes to an end in 7 days, so you only have a week left to add these new adventures to your PC library.

Humble Bundle – CRPG Pack: Isometric Immersion

As with many other bundles from Humble, you can actually choose how much you'd like to spend on it, though there are some changes that come into play. If you pay $15 instead, you'll get 9 games from the bundle rather than the full 11, which are: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, SKALD: Against the Black Priory, Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness - Tales of the Moon Cult, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Gamedec, Disco Elysium, UnderRail, and Balrum.

If you decide to drop even lower to $10, then you'll get five games: Torment: Tides of Numenera, Gamedec, Disco Elysium, UnderRail, and Balrum. So, if you're hoping to get all 11, $23 is as low as you can go. On the other hand, if you're feeling generous, you can opt to pay a little extra as well, which gets you all 11 games and gives more to publishers, Humble, and charity. The latter for this bundle is Little Free Library.

Quite a few of the games here have earned high marks from us as well, so it's exciting to see them all in one big bundle. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was a solid 10/10 in our review, while both Rogue Trader and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous earned 8s in their respective reviews. Torment: Tides of Numenera even inched above those with a score of 8.8, so there's plenty of great options to keep you entertained.

Again, though, this bundle only has 7 days left before it comes to an end. Be quick to grab it before it's all gone.

Humble Bundle is part of IGN Entertainment, the division of Ziff Davis that includes GamesIndustry.biz, IGN, and MapGenie.

B&H Photo is offering a solid deal on a prebuilt desktop computer that excels at 1080p and 1440p gaming. For a limited time you can pick up a brand new MSI Codex Z2C RTX 5070 gaming PC for just $1,399 with free shipping. The system comes with a download voucher for the upcoming Control: Resonant game, which comes out on September 22. Redemption instructions are found on Nvidia's website.

The MSI Codex Z2C RTX 5070 Gaming PC Drops to $1399

The MSI Codex Z2C gaming PC is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Ryzen 7 8700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor with a max boost clock of 5.1GHz. It's not the fastest or newest AMD CPU, but it's still a solid gaming CPU that won't bottleneck the GPU, especially at the higher resolutions you should be playing at if you own a 5070 Ti. A 750W PSU powers the system.

The GeForce RTX 5070 GPU is an excellent choice for 1080p or 1440p gaming

The GeForce RTX 5070 is the best Nvidia card for 1080p and 1440p gaming and by itself this card retails for $600 (although generally it's higher these days). It's also powerful enough to run most games at 4K, although at that point you'll see noticeable gains jumping up to a 5070 Ti. Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers a slight performance improvement over the RTX 4070 Super, which was and still is an excellent GPU. The fps gain is greater in games that support DLSS 4.5 with multi-frame generation. Check out our RTX 5070 review.

Breakout hit Wardogs is outpacing Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2 on Steam in terms of copies sold at launch, new data shows.

Bulkhead’s tactical first-person shooter released in early access form on Steam on September 10 and hit a peak of 428,666 concurrent players soon after, becoming one of the most-played games on Valve’s platform. It sold 1 million copies on day one and 1.25 million by day two. Bulkhead announced 2 million sales after just five days.

According to Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics, Wardogs is now up to 2.2 million copies sold on Steam, which means it’s outpacing Arc Raiders (1.7 million) and Helldivers 2 (1 million) when launch aligned on Valve’s platform.

Not only that, with approximately $70 million in revenue generated so far, Wardogs has already made more money on Steam alone than Bungie’s Marathon has managed across PC and console so far, Elliott’s data suggests. “It’s another reminder that, when it comes to live-service games, community trumps budget and pedigree,” he said.

The question now is can Wardogs maintain its momentum with both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and GTA 6 around the corner. Both Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2 enjoyed huge interest months after release, and went on to sell many millions of copies. Wardogs still has a long way to go before matching both games longer term, but it’s worth remembering Wardogs is in early access, where it will remain for 1-2 years. A console version planned for 2028. “We are adamant that we do not want to be in Early Access for a long time,” its Steam page reads. Overnight, Bulkhead boss Joe Brammer said Season 2 will bring “lots of new content and changes” now Wardogs was entering the next phase of development.

“Wardogs‘ growth story is far from over,” Elliott continued. “It’s got some maintenance hills to climb and a strong roadmap to deliver on before it can dream of reaching the heights of, say, an Arc Raiders.

“But make no mistake: even if it never sold another copy, Wardogs is already a huge success. It’s a $40 shooter aimed at a slightly unfashionable audience that stuck to its guns and turned out bloody great.

“You can’t really replicate what Bulkhead pulled off here, but they knew exactly who the game was for, priced it fairly, built the community before launch (and actually talked to them), cut the PR nonsense, were authentic (to a fault at times), and made something cool.”

On that $40 price point, Elliott suggested Wardogs hit “the modern pricing sweet spot, sitting below the friction point of a $70 AAA release while capturing that chunky volume of players priced out of premium titles.”

User reviews are now ‘Very Positive’ after initial complaints around launch problems. That appears to be done and dusted now, with players getting on with the game and having fun. A number of gameplay clips showing Wardogs shenanigans have gone viral (players are even avoiding Wardogs’ Lonestar faction over a perception that they seemingly attract the worst players and lose the most games).

Call of Duty developer Treyarch has said it’s “ready to make something new” as it waves goodbye to two years of Black Ops games.

Treyarch led development on two Black Ops games back-to-back: 2024’s Black Ops 6 and 2025’s Black Ops 7. With Season 6 hitting Black Ops 7 on September 17, the developer has signalled it’s moving on to its next Call of Duty game.

“This is a bittersweet goodbye, but I think over the last two years, we've learned a lot,” design director Kevin Drew said in a new dev talk video. “We've tried a lot of things in our current era. But we're ready to make something new and something that nobody's ever experienced before. In the meantime though, I will see you all playing in Season 6 on September 17th.”

What this means, exactly, is unclear. Could Treyarch be talking about making a new Call of Duty game not in the Black Ops subbrand? Is Treyarch’s next Call of Duty not Black Ops 8? That would be something of a surprise, given Black Ops’ popularity and brand power despite Black Ops 7’s high-profile commercial struggles. Perhaps Treyarch is talking about doing something brand new within the Black Ops universe. My feeling though, is that this is indeed a hint that Black Ops may be given some time to rest, and that Treyarch has something different up its sleeve.

Yale Miller, co-studio head, added: “It’s been amazing to look back at the last couple of years, setting new benchmarks with Black Ops 6, delivering the biggest Black Ops game ever with Black Ops 7, taking huge swings with Omnimovement, Endgame, all kinds of innovation. We are extremely proud and extremely excited for what we were able to deliver.

“So, it's been amazing to actually also have a dialogue with all of you through regular comms, also through these dev talks, and we've been along with you every step of the way while we're delivering new innovative content. You guys have been grinding out camos, unlocking new things, the progression systems, the feedback. A huge thank you to our partner Raven and all the other studios that helped us here at Treyarch bring all of you all those maps, all that content, all those zombies experiences. It's been amazing.

“Really excited as well for everything Infinity Ward has been working on. They are clearly setting new bars. There's so much more of that game for all of you to see. We've had the privilege of taking part in a ton of playtests as well. We'll see you all online in Season 6 and in MW4. Thank you so much. It has been a privilege.”

Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 4 comes out later this year, but Activision has yet to say what will follow. It has an army of studios working on Call of Duty, which may need a shot in the arm from, say, Sledgehammer or Warzone developer Raven in the coming years. The question for parent company Microsoft and new Xbox boss Asha Sharma will be, how does Call of Duty once again hit the heights of yesteryear?

Resident Evil director Zach Cregger has revealed which actress he would cast as a live-action Lady Dimitrescu — and we think he's made the perfect choice.

To be clear, the iconic Lady D from 2021's Resident Evil Village does not appear in Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil movie, as it tells an original story. So, don't expect to see her or any other fan favorites up on the big screen. That said, Cregger is a self-confessed Resident Evil aficionado, and seems to clearly know who he'd cast if given the chance.

"Christina Hendricks," Cregger said, when asked his pick for Lady D while in conversation with Pedestrian.TV. "That feels about right to me. What do you think?" Well, speaking personally, that seems like a solid call.

The vampire-like Lady Dimitrscu stole the hearts of many Resident Evil fans back when Village launched, with many players attracted to her giant stature and femme fatale design. Countless pieces of fan art followed, some more erotic than others, and Capcom leant into her popularity by providing life-size cardboard cutouts of the character in video game stores.

Even though Lady D hasn't returned to the series (so far), she remains a firm favorite — and notably her costume could be unlocked in this year's Resident Evil Requiem, if you stumped up for the game's Deluxe Edition.

Could we see the character appear in a future Resident Evil film? While Cregger has taken flak from some fans for deciding to make an original take on the franchise, early buzz for the movie has been positive, and the box office projections look strong. Indeed, Cregger has already said he has ideas for potential sequels. Here's hoping Christina Hendricks is free.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave comes out tomorrow for Nintendo Switch 2. That means today is your last chance to save $10 off physical copies of the game at Amazon and Walmart. In case you’re wondering if the game is any good, you can hop over to our 10/10 review to see what our critic thought of it. But for real, if you want a physical copy, grab one today, because it goes back up to $79.99 tomorrow.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave for $10 Off (Ends Today)

Digital copies are $69.99 on the Nintendo eShop, and will be for the foreseeable future. But earlier this year, Nintendo started charging $10 more for physical games versus digital, presumably because physical cartridges and printing and shipping cost more than serving up downloads of data.

In response to this pricing change, both Amazon and Walmart have gone rogue among retailers and begun offering $10 off preorders of physical copies, bringing the pricing in line with digital copies. But once the game comes out, the price goes back up to MSRP – $79.99, in this case.

Generally, preordering can be a risky move because you don’t always know if a game is worth buying before reviews hit, or it comes out and gets a popular consensus. But right now, we’re in a beautiful window of time when reviews are live and the game is still discounted on Amazon and Walmart. But, again, today is the last day.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is the latest in a long line of tactical RPGs that provide anime-inspired art and stories, turn-based strategy gameplay, and deep character interactions. People love these games, and for good reason — they’re usually terrific.

Looks like this one is no different. Here’s how IGN critic Brendan Graeber summed it up in the review:

“Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave builds upon its strategic arts in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. It’s never satisfied to make me grow only as a battlefield tactician, or only in my ability to manage my time between skirmishes wisely, but both in perfect harmony. Every time I turned around, I was being given more challenges to face and more tools to master in order to overcome them. The many unique twists of each hero’s story path had me eager to see all the ways those journeys differed from each other, making the grand culmination in the final act hit so damn well. Planning out my expeditions across an imposing map became an unexpected highlight that not only hooked me, but rewarded my persistence by continuing to expand all the ways I could direct my armies as I tried to stay on top of newly emerging threats. The scope of both its formidably challenging battles and intricate management systems would be wildly ambitious for one path, let alone spread across four – yet somehow Fortune’s Weave only gets better and better each time you guide its captivating heroes into the colosseum and far beyond.”

Sounds pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Multiple developers of the disastrous MindsEye have said they’ve been laid off, casting doubt over the future of its controversial developer, Build A Rocket Boy.

Story-driven action adventure game MindsEye was initially designed to be a part of Everywhere, the ‘Roblox for adults’ creation platform led by former Grand Theft Auto design chief Leslie Benzies. BARB eventually switched to focus on MindsEye, with the company ballooning in size to over 500 staff at peak.

But MindsEye flopped hard when it came out in June 2025, with players calling it "broken," "buggy," and "the worst game of 2025." Soon after, BARB said it was “heartbroken” over the issues players had faced with the game, and promised to release a series of patches to fix the significant performance problems, glitches, and AI behavior bugs. Benzies told staff that the studio would bounce back and relaunch MindsEye, blaming its struggles on internal and external "saboteurs," among other things. CEO Mark Gerhard said the studio had been investigating what he called “criminal activity” that took place around the launch of the game.

In July last year, IGN reported that the Scottish studio had issued at-risk of redundancy emails to its then around 300-strong UK workforce. Subsequent rounds of layoffs followed, and this summer, fired staff protested outside the studio over an “all-expenses-paid playtest day.”

BARB attempted to relaunch MindsEye with what was called the “Blacklisted” update, but it failed to move the needle. Subsequent updates and a last-ditch 50% off Steam sale have similarly fallen on deaf ears. While console player numbers are unavailable, MindsEye had a 24-hour peak Steam concurrent player count of just 16.

The extent of the layoffs is unclear at this stage, with one source familiar with the studio telling IGN that the company may not be dissolved even if all staff are let go. Either way, there are now serious questions over the future of the studio and MindsEye itself. IGN has asked BARB for comment.

Benzies was a crucial member of the Grand Theft Auto development team at Rockstar, and is considered one of the key architects of its enormous success. He left in 2016 amid a legal row over unpaid royalties that was eventually settled out of court. With the GTA link in place, BARB attracted more than £233 million ($313 million) of investment by 2024. Hitman developer IO Interactive snapped up publishing rights.

BARB's latest financial statements, made up to September 30, 2025, reveal it had generated revenue of £4.6 million ($6.1 million), but had total operating costs of £52.1 million ($70 million). It declared a net loss of £36.2 million ($48.6 million) for the period.

In May, Strauss Zelnick, boss of Rockstar parent company Take-Two, issued what sounded like a nod to BARB’s struggles. "Making hits seems to get harder and harder and harder as entertainment industries mature," Zelnick said, speaking at the TD Cowen 54th Annual Technology, Media & Telecom Conference.

"The folks at Rockstar seem to be able to make these massive hits, and lots of other people have tried. Lots and lots, including former Rockstar employees. And so far, they haven't been able to do it."

Resident Evil is one of my favourite gaming franchises, and it’s absolutely stood the test of time, making its debut on the PS1 and still reinventing itself generations later, but it hasn’t managed to translate when it comes to the big screen.
