Bandai Namco has re-imagined classic fighting game characters like Kazuya and Kuma in the first teaser for a Tekken cartoon.
Officially stylized as "TEKKEN! CARTOON," the minute-and-a-half-long trailer mixes live action and animated elements to reveal an unexpected offshoot for the publisher's long-running fighting game series. Just five characters – Kazuya, Kuma, Yoshimitsu, Paul, and Alisa – show up in the video, but we wouldn't be surprised to see more cute versions of fan-favorite characters show up in whatever the final product ends up looking like.
"Your favorite #TEKKEN characters are coming out of the ring and into the cartoon world!" an official description for the animated project said. "Keep an eye on our socials for more...

The original Toy Story was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I was six years old. I quite literally grew up with the Toy Story films, but I only ever got to play a couple of the games. I never owned a PS1, so what I could play was limited to time at a friend’s house or at demo stations in retail stores, but I still have fond memories of those games. Fortunately, it seems I’m not the only one, because Atari has decided that everyone needs a little Toy Story in their life. At SGF, I got to see a hands-off presentation of Atari’s two-part Toy Story revival, Toy Story Retro Roundup and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition, and I’ve gotta say, these games feel like they were made for me… and any other Toy Story fan who’d like to take a trip...
A new study has found that young male gamers in the UK are twice as likely to believe conspiracy theories compared to the country's general population.
The statistic comes from a new report by research firm More in Common and The AKO Storytelling Institute at the University of Arts London (via Video Games Industry Memo), which polled thousands of young Brits on their thoughts, and grouped them based on their average video game usage.
One aim of the study was to identify if video games could be a useful tool to reach those who may have switched off from mainstream media, and instead believed misinformation or disinformation spread by other sources.
Intriguingly, the gaming-heavy group that most stated they agreed with the idea that...
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered Is the Remaster I Didn’t Know I Wanted | IGN Preview
While I was waiting outside the Atari booth for my appointment to see Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered to start, I heard it, friends. The noise. You know which one. And I knew, then and there, that my faith had been rewarded. What I did not expect was for them to put a controller in my hands. But I’m really glad they did.
One of the coolest things about this remaster is that it’s being developed by the original team at Pipeworks, and you can feel it when you play it. I confess I hadn’t played it in a hot second; that game is from 2002, after all. But this feels like the game I remember burning countless days of my life with. And it was time well spent, honestly.
I jumped into one-on-one multiplayer, and let me tell...
The Steam Summer Sale season is finally here. For PC gamers, that means a familiar ritual: staring down a massive Wishlist, comparing prices, and trying to make your gaming budget stretch as far as humanly possible.
But before you dump your hard-earned cash into your Steam basket, there’s one quick insider move you should make first. If you want to score the absolute cheapest PC game keys, you need to claim your free Green Man Gaming XP loyalty account.
Here is why this simple step might save you more than shopping on Steam alone.
What Is Green Man Gaming’s XP Scheme?
XP is Green Man Gaming’s loyalty programme designed to give PC gamers extra discounts every time they shop.

Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe has reassured fans that he’s still working on his next game, Haunted Chocolatier, and explained why it’s taking so long.
ConcernedApe, real name Eric Barone, announced Haunted Chocolatier back in 2021, but amid ongoing work on his phenomenally successful Stardew Valley, progress on the follow-up has been slow going.
In a new blog post titled “Still here, still grinding…,” ConcernedApe insisted he was still working on the game, which he sounds somewhat embarrassed to have to keep on saying. “Feels kinda dumb posting this same thing over and over, but that’s the reality,” he said.
“I know it’s taking a long time,” he continued, before explaining the hold up. ConcernedApe is fussing over every last...
Popular Tabletop Simulator Steam mods that recreate the in-person Warhammer 40,000 game have reportedly received takedown requests from Games Workshop.
While Games Workshop hasn’t commented on its action here — and rarely does in cases such as this — one of the chief creators of Tabletop Simulator Warhammer 40,000 mods alleged that the UK company was to blame.
Tabletop Simulator is a long-running and popular physics sandbox designed to let people make their own board games in virtual form. It launched over a decade ago on Steam, where there are thousands of community-created mods, including Warhammer 40,000 mods.
This week saw the launch of the 11th Edition of Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop’s flagship tabletop game and one of the...
The layoffs Bungie announced yesterday hit nearly 300 staff who worked at the developer’s Bellevue, Washington office, official records have revealed.
A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice issued by Sony to the Washington State Employment Security Department, reported by Game File, reveals 292 staff have been let go with a formal separation date set for July 9. This number does not account for Bungie staff outside Washington state. It is unknown how many staff remain at Bungie following the cuts, although the studio was reported to have employed 850 staff as of 2024.
It is Bungie's third round of layoffs in three years. According to The Seattle Times, Bungie once had 1,000 employees in Bellevue, according to a...
The Kingdom Hearts games have amassed one of the most loyal fandoms in gaming. Square Enix really tapped into something special when it combined classic Disney characters with a totally unique RPG. Unfortunately for Kingdom Hearts fans, none of the Prime Day Square Enix deals this year include any of the actual games. There is, however, a 3-foot stainless steel Keyblade that just dropped to its lowest price ever on Amazon.
Look, nobody actually needs a sword. But we only recently got Kingdom Hearts 4 gameplay footage for the first time earlier this month and there's absolutely no release date attached. Waiting forever for the next entry in the series is inevitable, but whether or not you own a replica of Sora's iconic blade is entirely...
Ever since the Steam Machine's price and release date was announced on Monday, there's been a lot of discussion about what the mini PC is actually capable of. And, seemingly in response to the discourse, Valve has updated the Steam Machine's store page, now claiming the CPU is capable of "up to" 4K gaming with FSR.
Originally, Valve claimed that the Steam Machine's CPU and GPU combo was capable of "4K gaming at 60 fps with FSR." In my testing that is true, but only once you start tweaking the settings to hit that performance target. And, there are certain games, like Death Stranding 2, where I couldn't get the Machine to hit that target.
Now that FSR 4.1 is available on the Steam Machine, Valve seems to have used it to update the...
Deltarune's story will continue next year, as creator Toby Fox has set a 2027 release window for Chapter 6.
Yesterday, Deltarune Chapter 5 was finally released to much anticipation. Within hours of its launch, the release helped the game shatter its previous concurrent player record on Steam. Previously, the record was 133,920 concurrent players, now the record sits at 290,973 concurrent players, more than double the original all-time peak. Despite Deltarune being nearly a decade old, it seems like it has only grown in popularity over time.
With all of that said, Toby Fox isn't slowing down when it comes to continuing the story. In an FAQ on the game's Steam page, the developer confirmed that Chapter 5 is not the end of the story and...
Popstar Olivia Rodrigo is joining Fortnite today, as the latest celebrity addition to Epic Games' battle royale.
Rodrigo's addition to Fortnite follow the launch of her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which charted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the biggest launch by a solo artist this year.
Known for tunes such as Drivers License, Good 4 U, Vampire and Drop Dead, Rodrigo began her career as a child actor on Disney series such as High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, before switching to pop and scooping three Grammy Awards, as well as headlining Glastonbury Festival last year.
Now, Rodrigo can be found on Fortnite's battle royale Island, and in its lucrative item shop at its next refresh.

Like The Witness before it, Order of the Sinking Star uses a simple puzzle structure as a vehicle for unexpected problem solving. Pushing blocks around a grid to press a button or reach some exit is far from a new concept, but neither was sliding a line around some symbols, and that was hardly “the point” of developer Thekla, Inc.’s previous masterpiece – and while the demo I played didn’t reveal all of its secrets, that certainly seems to be the case here as well.
Order of the Sinking Star is really many block-pushing games in one. There’s an overworld with its own lead character that has to figure out how to even reach each of its self-contained levels, all of which are sorted into different areas of the map representing various...
Destiny developer Bungie will lose a "significant number of employees" as part of brutal-sounding layoffs that will include "most of the Destiny team and some Marathon team members," PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst has confirmed.
In a public blog post, Hulst described the decision as "difficult" and "painful," but "necessary to align the studio’s resources with its current priorities and long-term goals." The news follows the recent ending of new content for Destiny 2, and amid a lackluster player numbers for new launch Marathon.
Hulst's statement claims that "multiple alternatives" were explored before the layoffs were finalized, though offers no suggestion of what these might be. On Bungie's Destiny franchise, Hulst calls the series...
Peppa Pig's cast of child actors have reportedly been told they must sign new contracts that allow brand owner Hasbro to reproduce their voices using AI.
Hasbro has owned the Peppa Pig franchise, which began as a popular British children's TV series, since 2019. Now, however, the company is seeking to expand the franchise further with AI-voiced usage of its characters, including those voiced by minors.
The situation has caught public attention after an open letter from the Agents of Young Performers Association flagged the situation without naming the franchise involved. However, a subsequent Deadline report has now confirmed that it is the cast and owners of Peppa Pig who are currently in dispute.
"A major studio who owns the IP for...
It's been a year since I was introduced to EVE Frontier, Fenris Creations' (formerly CCP) ambitious space survival sandbox that looks to turn more control over to the players than EVE Online ever could. And it's come a long way mechanically and visually, going from rectangles in space to massive, spooky temple complexes drifting in the void. I even got a chance to feel how its modular vessels control and dig into the mysteries of its galaxy.
I won't spend too much time talking about the blockchain integration and monetization stuff, since I covered that in my preview last year and my thoughts haven't changed much. The bespoke crypto token, called $EVE, does seem very difficult to avoid interacting with it at all even as a solo player...
The Last Caretaker is a first-person survival-crafting game set after the end of the world, but it is not really about the end. It is about what continues after it.
Developed by Helsinki-based studio Channel37, the game places players inside a flooded Earth where humanity has vanished from the surface and one machine has been left behind with a single directive: save humanity. That means sailing across a vast ocean, scavenging the ruins of the old world, recovering human seeds, restoring ancient systems, and launching the next generation into orbit.
With a free demo, an active Early Access release, and major updates continuing to expand the world, here is everything you need to know about The Last Caretaker.
What Is The Last...
A heroic member of the fighting game community is being praised for apprehending an agitated Apex Legends player who pulled out a knife at a gaming lounge in New York City.
The incident took place on the night of June 20, when Kofi ‘Koustics’ Miller was in the middle of streaming League of Legends on Twitch at OS NYC, a gaming lounge and event space, when he stepped away from his setup about an hour into his broadcast.
During that time, Koustics attempted to de-escalate a dangerous situation involving an Apex Legends player, who brandished a knife after peaceful moderation had failed.
Koustics explained that the player had confronted an employee at the bar, drawing his attention away from his stream.
“I stepped outside, dude is...
Is 2026 the year of the videogame sidekick? Grace had Leon to bail her out in Resident Evil Requiem, Hugh had Diana to hack kill-bots for him in Pragmata, and now swordmaster Emma has very good boy Koo to bring a bit of magical aid to her crossbow and blade in Beast of Reincarnation. At a recent BiliBili Game First Look event in Shanghai, I got to go hands-on with the first two hours of the stunning post-apocalyptic action-RPG from Game Freak, the development team best known for being at the helm of the Pokémon series for the past three decades. I’m happy to report that based on the opening chapter of Beast of Reincarnation’s story, Game Freak seems to have successfully switched from catching ‘em all to violently dispatching ‘em all in...
I wouldn’t have thought that the Venn diagram representing fans of the beast-slaying Monster Hunter series and lovers of Animal Crossing’s cosy community-building would have too much overlap, but promising action-RPG Monster Fantasy may well prove me wrong. At a recent BiliBili Game First Look event in Shanghai, I got hands-on with a very early build of this hybrid adventure that gives players the flexibility to choose whether they want to seek the thrilling challenge of big game beast-hunting or the laid back chilling of just catching bugs and good vibes with their fellow villagers. It’s only early days in Monster Fantasy’s development and there’s clearly still a lot of work to be done, but so far this combination seems like it could...
Micron, one of the largest global manufacturers of memory, expects the ongoing RAM shortage to last through 2027. That's according to Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, who said in the company's Q3 2026 earnings report today that the unprecedented demand facing the semiconductor industry isn't letting up any time soon.
"We expect tight conditions to persist beyond calendar 2027 as a result of AI-driven demand across all segments coupled with structural supply constraints," Mehrotra said.
Semiconductors, the chips used to manufacture computer hardware like RAM, the VRAM in graphics cards, and SSDs, have increased significantly in price over the last few years, primarily due to demand for their use in AI data centers. Micron itself exited the...

Destiny 2 fans shouldn't "blame" themselves for Bungie choosing to end support for the game, says the company's comms manager.
The Destiny community has been in mourning for about a month now after Bungie abruptly announced it would be ending support for Destiny 2. Although the game will remain playable, Bungie will not be adding new content to the game. This came as a shock to its community, who assumed a bright future was ahead for the title, but that isn't the case.
One fan pondered over whether or not the community could have done more to support the game. Bungie communications manager Dylan Gafner responded by simply saying nothing more could be done and thanked fans for almost a full decade of support.
"You all have done more...

XR glasses - glasses that project a virtual screen in front of you that no one else can see - are one of those gadgets that are both really cool and potentially super practical, but few people actually own. A major reason for that is cost. The technology isn't inexpensive and a good pair could run you hundreds of dollars. Fortunately, some of the most popular XR glass brands are hosting Amazon Prime Day sales with steep discounts. One of the best known brands is VITURE.
VITURE's two most popular models are on sale with discounts anywhere between 20% and 33% off. They include VITURE's flagship Beast glasses, which are designed for gaming and movie watching, and the Luma series, which is intended for productivity use. All glasses come...

The Thief franchise is enjoying a major resurgence in 2026, with Thief: The Dark Project Remastered coming to PC and consoles this winter. Now, IGN can exclusively reveal that the franchise is also expanding to the world of comics via a new graphic novel called Thief: Pulse of Promise.
Thief: Pulse of Promise is a collaboration between Bit Bot and Eidos-Montréal. This 147-page graphic novel takes place between the events of 1998's Thief: The Dark Project and 2000's Thief II: The Metal Age. The book is being crowdfunded on BackerKit.
Thief: Pulse of Promise is written by Joshua Viola (Legacy of Kain, The Rocky Horror Show) and Sean Eads (Terror in the Corn, Lord Byron’s Prophecy), with interior art by Emanuele Ercolani (Masters of the...
Fortnite will begin reselling content from old battle passes as part of its next update.
The scheme will start off with skins from Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom, which was Fortnite's most recent Marvel-dedicated season that ran from August 16 to November 2, 2024.
This included Marvel characters such as Doctor Doom, Mysterio, Shuri, War Machine, Gwenpool and Emma Frost, as well as a Captain America version of Fortnite character Jonesy. All are now expected to imminently return via Fortnite's in-game shop.
Fortnite previously pledged to never resell content released as part of its time-limited battle passes, a policy that made them must-have purchases at the time, but ultimately served to only lock newer players out of characters...
GTA fans are discussing how the story in Grand Theft Auto 6 will be structured, following the apparent confirmation that it will be separated into chapters, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
An official reference to content becoming unlocked through various chapters of the game can be seen on Rockstar's website, where the developer discusses its various bonuses available in GTA 6's $100 Ultimate Edition. These bonuses will not all be available straight away, Rockstar has cautioned, noting instead that the extras "are threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia's story, with new items uncovered behind each chapter."
Various cars, safe houses, sidequests and guns can be accessed as fans play through GTA 6 — and it sounds as if the...
A few hours after the State of Unreal keynote speech, founder and CEO of Epic Games Tim Sweeney, alongside EVP of development Marcus Wassmer, met with us to talk about everything new with Unreal Engine. They’d just announced that UE6 is set for early access at the end of 2027 with a 12-14 month period before its full launch, had developers on stage speak to how Unreal made their games technically possible, and, well, showcased AI tools being integrated in future iterations of the engine.
It feels redundant to say at this point that the games industry is in unprecedented times, but it really is – at the convergence of unaffordable consumer hardware, development studios getting shuttered, and AI getting pushed onto everything in between...
