A vtuber is at the center of a controversy in the Wardogs community surrounding exploits. The first-person shooter allows players to roleplay as a part of the war effort, taking to the front lines, running logistics in trucks, and building forward-operating bases (FOB) for their allies to control sections of the map.
Everything a player does — from recon to taxi driving their soldiers back into battle — earns them in-game money as a merc, which can then be spent on unlocking equipment and better loadouts. At the end of the season (or whenever the player chooses to trade their ill-gotten merc gains), money left over is converted into gold — a fluctuating economy of premium currency that can be spent on cosmetics.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer has broadly proven to be a smash hit with critics, and fans seem similarly enthusiastic, but developer Fuse Games has heard the concern regarding multiplayer party sizes and has responded via the game’s official social media. Resultingly, it appears we should be able to expect an update to increase the multiplayer party size from three to six players at some point within the next few weeks.
“Thank you so much for your feedback and we’d like to let you and everyone on this thread know that we hear you,” the developer responded to various fans raising the concern online. “We’re working on an update to increase the party size from three to six players, with the aim of releasing it within the first few weeks of...
Melbourne-based studio Beethoven & Dinosaur has won Game of the Year for its music-themed, minigame-driven adventure game Mixtape at the 2026 Australian Game Developer Awards (AGDAs). Mixtape also won Excellence in Visual Art and Excellence in Sound Design.
“Mixtape was the outcome of an amazingly talented team,” said Beethoven & Dinosaur director Johnny Galvatron. “To go from wanting to make a game around Devo to creating something that resonates with so many people is mind blowing. We’re lucky to be part of such a talented community, and I’m so proud of Mixtape and my team.”
Praise for Mixtape from the AGDA’s judges noted that “[it] is a triumph in virtual storytelling, pairing a distinct visual identity with heartfelt music to...
Bit Reactor, the developer of Star Wars Zero Company, has begun returning some of its staff to the team after furloughing an estimated 80% of employees just before the game’s launch.
Bit Reactor’s CEO Greg Foertsch revealed the news in a public post on October 7, where he explained that the furloughs were necessary to “help us eventually bring as many people back as possible.”
Foertsh said that bringing these staff members back to Bit Reactor was an “important step forward” in the studio’s “continued support for Zero Company,” and that the team looks forward to sharing more updates about the game “soon.”
“Having to ask team members to step away after we navigated unexpected business developments outside of our control and so close...
The first Dark Arisen expansion for the original Dragon’s Dogma has a well-lauded place in video game history as the expansion that “fixed” the base game, sanding down the rough technical edges and tweaking things to make the notoriously obtuse RPG more approachable. It also added hours of new content, spiraling an already heady story directly into the heavens on the back of dragon wings. Dark Arisen 2 isn’t as transformational as the first one was, primarily because many of Dragon’s Dogma 2’s biggest issues have been fixed through incremental patching since it came out in 2024. But the new content here definitely flies in the same ambitious skies as its predecessor, pushing the story and world design to new heights, even if some of the...
The developers of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse are wearing their love of fighting games on their sleeves, as eagle-eyed fans have spotted some unmistakable references to classic fighting game characters in its demo.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse released a free demo on October 1, 2026, giving players a brief taste of what the game’s combat will look like. In this game, we take control of Rose Belmont, who navigates the ruined streets of 1500s Paris with a sword and her mother’s magical tarot cards.
If the demo is anything to go by, this game will be a treat for hardcore Metroidvania fans, as it includes a wealth of secret areas to uncover. One of these areas can be accessed in the demo, which gives you a pair of brass knuckle-style MMA...
Steam launched its Autumn Sale last week, and the PC-inclined know these seasonal sales are pretty much the best time of year to buy games. Sometimes, though, the gaming giant isn't offering the best possible price.
On Steam, Bungie’s latest live action release, Marathon, has dropped to $23.99. However, digital game stores like Fanatical and GMG are also running fall sales, and it just so happens that the former has Marathon Steam codes for even cheaper, at $19.99.
According to price trackers, that’s a lower price than the game has ever been on the U.S. side of Steam. Regardless of your feelings about the hardcore extraction shooter, it’s hard to argue with that being a good deal.
Marathon on PC Drops Under $20 at Fanatical...
A prominent Call of Duty e-sports commentator has opted to resign from his role after pursuing a romantic relationship with his co-commentator's ex-wife.
In what is one of the most unique stories of the week, Call of Duty League commentator Clint "Maven" Evans has announced that he's stepping away from the CDL for the "foreseeable future." He noted that this decision came after he chose to pursue a romantic relationship with the wife of his co-commentator, Joseph "MerK" DeLuca. Evans noted that he recognized that the situation is "taboo" and "unconventional" in a statement.
"As some of you know, I was very close to my casting partner Joe and his family," Evans wrote. "Maurisa was one of my best friends. We remained friends, after they...
Gears of War: E-Day launched this week, and while it is excellent, the game was pulled away from a PS5 launch earlier this year. But, in a recent interview, The Coalition Studio Head Mike Crump claims that this was all part of the plan.
In an interview with the BBC, Crump defended the choice to be an Xbox exclusive, despite a likely ludicrous budget sayig, "Gears has been an exclusive franchise to Xbox for 20 years now. It's sort of entwined deeply with the brand."
However, Gears of War: Reloaded did launch on PS5 last year, so the franchise as a whole isn't exactly Xbox-exclusive anymore. It's also likely that if E-Day did launch on Playstation, it'd see higher sales numbers.
Crump claims that the metrics for success go further...
When a troll blocking a bridge wants a photo of three goats, you get him a photo of three goats. Not only must you find goats to photograph, but you must perfectly position these goats – on three different ledges – to get all three in the photograph. TOEM 2 is full of these sorts of environmental puzzles that cleverly use a photo mode mechanic through the lens of your own in-game camera to define its gameplay. It is a hidden object game insomuch as you're searching for hidden objects, but it's no June's Journey, where you're searching through static images to pick out items. TOEM 2's world, like the original, is dynamic, surprising, and an absolute delight.
As the title would suggest, TOEM 2 is the follow-up to TOEM: A Photo Adventure...

Resident Evil and Street Fighter developer Capcom has clarified its stance on AI and its future plans for the RE Engine in an exclusive conversation with IGN.
Capcom held its yearly recruitment conference on October 2, wherein programmer Satoshi Ishida outlined the company’s plans to incrementally improve its RE Engine using a program called REX (short for RE Next Engine).
Rather than building a new engine from scrap, Ishida explained that a series of steps will be taken to improve the RE Engine piece by piece. This includes the use of AI, which gave fans pause after the news broke online.
We bent the ear of a spokesperson at Capcom, who laid out the challenges its developers are currently facing that led the company to rethink how...
The FBI arrested a Fortnite player last week after Epic reported threats he made over voice chat.
Epic reported Edward Frith, an avid Fortnite player from Alabama, over alarming messages spoken while playing Fortnite. He was later arrested when the FBI turned up at his house.
According to the affidavit (reported by Aftermath), Frith, who went by the username “WagesOfNinja,” said he was letting all his rage out because he wanted to “literally murder somebody” and that he thinks about killing “every day.”
"Let's see if the FBI is going to show up at my door because I'll shoot them motherf****rs too," Frith said, before the FBI showed up at his door. Frith’s other comments were just as disturbing, with the Fortnite player suggesting he...
You’ve probably noticed that storage prices have surged this year. Today only, in Best Buy’s Deal of the Day, you can save over 50% off a beefy 2TB internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 2230 for gaming handhelds, including Steam Deck and ROG Ally. It’s still not cheap at $259.99 (see it at Best Buy), but it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than the $531.99 MSRP it normally costs nowadays. Grab it before the deal ends.
WD - BLACK SN770M 2TB Internal SSD for $259.99
I’m a huge fan of the Steam Deck and handheld gaming PCs in general. You simply can’t beat the convenience of playing nearly your entire Steam library basically anywhere in the world. Just the other day I took my kid to soccer practice, and I played Max Payne 3 on my Steam Deck while I...
The boss of Gears of War: E-Day developer The Coalition has responded to reports that staff at the studio are worried they will lose their jobs amid the ongoing cuts at Xbox, and promised the next Gears game won’t take as long to make.
Earlier this month, Eurogamer reported on serious internal concern that layoffs would hit The Coalition after the release of E-Day. "The mood is certainly 'let's not celebrate the game until we're three months post launch, just in case,' which is very unusual," one source told the site. "We're just expecting the next wave [of layoffs], or being reorganized under Activision or something later this year," claimed another.

Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 are coming to PS5 and Xbox Series consoles with some prettier graphics, according to an ESRB rating. Both games are rated Mature 17+ by the board, with each title featuring violence, nudity, and so… many… slurs.
Previously, Mafia: Definitive Edition released for modern consoles in September 2020. A full-blown, ground-up remake of the original 2002 game, it acted as a great starting point for people jumping into the series for the first time. Mafia 2 and 3 Definitive Editions already exist for the last-gen consoles, so these listings presumably relate to current-gen upgrades that will, hopefully, include 60fps gameplay, rather than full-blown remakes.
Publisher 2K recently released the Mafia: The Omertà Collection...
This is an IGN opinion piece from Phil Iwaniuk, decorated winner of many Gran Turismo Sunday Cups who learned to feel, not think in 1999's Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer. It's a philosophy that may impair his opinions, but yields many a purple sector.
How many times have you bought a cheap banger, entered it in a series of races called something like the ‘Rookies Cup’, and used the proceeds to unlock new events? Since Gran Turismo arrived in 1997 and pioneered that vehicular rags-to-riches structure, it feels like we’ve repeated that identical racing game campaign mode grind countless times.
In fact, when you pause and look back at the great and good of racing games, it seems like all of them, from Need For Speed to Dirt Rally, were...
According to a report from reliable leaker billbil-kun on French site Dealabs, Forza Horizon 6 will finally land on PS5 early next year, despite Microsoft insisting it would make it out by the end of 2026.
Playground's well-received racer launched on Xbox Series X and S and PC in May 2026. The PS5 version is now set to dodge a collision with GTA 6, which seems to have its own track and street racing, and will reportedly release on January 26, 2027.
In August, Tom Warren from The Verge said that Forza Horizon 6 wouldn't hit PS5 this year. At the time, Playground released a statement insisting Forza Horizon 6 would. Playground has yet to issue a fresh comment following today's report.
Since Xbox CEO Asha Sharma took over from the...
The AI video game clone explosion continues at pace. Now, someone has made Minecraft playable inside X / Twitter with working multiplayer. X user jaivin used AI to make Mojang’s Minecraft playable inside posts on Elon Musk’s social network, and is letting people buy in-game sponsorships with cryptocurrency.
“Tweetcraft is a block game in a post: every world is a link on X, and everyone who opens it plays together,” reads the official blurb. “Put your ad at the top of the server list, in a world’s sponsor leaderboard, or your logo on the Block Dragon.”
So, what’s going on here? Essentially, "Tweetcraft" is a custom browser-based Minecraft clone where you generate a shared world and post its unique link on X / Twitter, which acts as a...
Capcom's Pragmata has received a pretty substantial discount at Amazon, with the unusual sci-fi action game now available for just $39.99 on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox.
That's $20 off its $59.99 list price, and makes this a particularly tempting time to check out one of 2026's more unusual action games.

A new Ape Escape video game is reportedly in the works, helmed by the team that successfully rebooted a certain blue hedgehog with Sonic Mania. Developer Evening Star also made Penny’s Big Breakaway, which launched to mixed reviews compared to Sonic Mania’s near unanimous praise.
The report comes from journalist Jeff Gerstmann, corroborated by VGC sources. “So yeah, some other folks have said that they also heard that Ape Escape is being made,” Gerstmann said on his podcast.
“I don’t think this game is close to being out or anything like that, but I guess it’s been almost a year since we started talking about Ape Escape. “Who is making it? That’s a good question.
“My understanding is that it’s an external studio. People were...
Screenwriter Haris Orkin has teased plans for Resident Evil Requiem’s DLC. In a recent interview at Meadowlark Comic Con, he revealed that plans have been made to flesh out Oswell E. Spencer in upcoming DLC.
"I’m working on the DLC for Resident Evil Requiem right now,” Orkin said. “We’re working hand-in-hand.”
In Requiem, Spencer was a completely different character to how he was portrayed in previous games, switching from maniacal mastermind to redemptive figure filled with regret. It looks like we’ll get a deeper look at that shift in the upcoming DLC.
Later in the interview, Orkin spoke about his approach to writing villains. He explained that his villains always believe they’re the good guys of their story.
“We have an arc for...
How big is the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 campaign? According to developer King Art Games, it’s so big it dwarfs the campaigns from all the previous games in the series — and might have more single-player content at launch than any other RTS ever.
Dawn of War 4 includes four fully fleshed out single-player campaigns, one for each of the game’s launch factions: Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and Adeptus Mechanicus. In total, there are over 70 campaign missions at launch. To put that into perspective, Relic Entertainment’s beloved Dawn of War 1 had 11. Dawn of War 2 had a non-linear campaign structure with many repeatable missions, but an average playthrough involved 20-30 missions. Dawn of War 3, meanwhile, had 17 campaign missions...
New footage of Xbox’s canceled Perfect Dark reboot has appeared online, via a report from gaming website MP1st. The footage, seemingly acquired from a VFX developer’s portfolio, shows destructible environments, sci-fi weapons, and more.
Developer The Initiative shut down last year, before the LA-based studio could get its first Xbox project out of the door. The studio was spun up in 2018 and was being heavily supported by Crystal Dynamics, which was also forced to lay off staff in the wake of the cancellation.
The footage shows developers testing weapons in greybox environments, as well as fleshed out levels, using parkour for traversal and testing the reactivity of environments. Even at this early stage, it looked like the team was...
Aion 2, a free-to-play MMO action RPG, is going viral for its character creation settings — more specifically, for how busty you can make your female character.
Some players sink hours into character creators before they start an RPG. They’re almost a game all on their own, and players have been known to spend inordinate amounts of time creating all manner of monstrosities using the various sliders available to them. (Check out the absolutely bonkers creations players made when Street Fighter 6 launched, for example.)
However, Aion 2’s character creator is providing customization of a different type, and it has sparked quite a debate within the broader gaming community.
If you’re on gaming twitter at all, you’ve probably seen...
The Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering teams at Wizards of the Coast have just announced they're unionizing, joining the Wizards of the Coast-CWA (UWOTC-CWA) union formed by the Arena team earlier this year. In a letter of demands, the union has urged Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast leaders to stop pushing generative AI.
The Arena team, behind the online version of Magic: The Gathering, unionized back in April, and after months, has won its union election. Now, on October 8, that union is expanding to adopt the Dungeons & Dragons team and Team X – the team behind Magic: The Gathering and Dual Masters. The Wizards of the Coast-CWA is giving the company until October 13 to voluntarily recognize the expanded unit. However...
Rock Band was the foundation for some of my favorite childhood memories. I know for a lot of people that source was Guitar Hero, but the point stands: the game-ified version of rocking out is peak.
If you somehow weren’t already aware, Harmonix was acquired by Epic Games back in 2021. Now, Rock Band lives on in the form of Fortnite Festival.
Whether you’re already deep in the Fortnite world or have been aching for a chance to relive your Rock Band (sorry, Guitar Hero) glory days, I highly recommend picking up a guitar controller. All of the best ones are all on sale at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days today.

Sega created a Discord server just for Sonic fans — and it wasn’t long until it descended into chaos, forcing its moderators to take sweeping action in an admittedly unexpected, if somewhat amusing, turn of events.
On October 5, Sonic rolled out an official Discord server for fans of the blue blur to mix and mingle. As with most large servers, the Sonic team preemptively laid out rules for its community to follow (which, hilariously, included a bit about AI-generated art involving an Eggman dating simulator), but it wasn’t long before those rules were flagrantly flaunted.
Mere hours after launching, things got so hectic that the moderators removed most users’ ability to chat, locking it behind a members-only role and requiring fans to...
One of 2026's biggest RPGs has just received its first major discount at Amazon, with The Blood of Dawnwalker now available for $59.49 on PS5 and Xbox as part of the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days sale.
That's more than $10 off its $69.99 list price, making this the first significant price drop we've seen for the vampire RPG since its launch. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is running from October 6-7, so you'll need to act before the promotion wraps up if you want to take advantage of the offer.

The corpse of Dead Space is being reinimated for Battlefield 6, with the latest trailer for Season 5 seemingly teasing a crossover.
Battlefield 6’s new trailer shows off a new Las Vegas map that looks like a lot of fun, as choppers and machine guns tear up casinos and skyscrapers along The Strip. But then the music fades out, ominous sounds creep in, and it cuts to a bloom-filled scene where two Dead Space engineers stare up at The Marker, the survival horror series’ alien artifact that drills into your brain.
Earlier this year, series writer Chuck Beaver claimed sales were too low for EA to greenlight a Dead Space 4. Series co-creator and developer of The Callisto Protocol, Glen Schofield, also retired from the industry this year...
