Warhammer 40,000 has officially arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 with the announcement of a Rogue Trader port.
Owlcat Games’ well-received cRPG set in the grimdark future of the 41st millenium first launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S in December 2023. For the uninitiated, it’s a bit like Baldur’s Gate 3, but set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. IGN’s Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader review returned an 8/10. We said: “Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is an ultra crunchy, 130-hour space epic with excellent writing and combat, but unfortunately, also a lot of bugs.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 version was announced at IGN Fall Fan Fest 2025 with a new trailer, below. No release date was mentioned.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 hits PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 soon, and the team behind the game just revealed a brand-new dinosaur at IGN Fan Fest 2025: Fall Edition. When the game releases in just a few days, players will be able to breed and care for a new dinosaur that up until now has only shown up on the big screen: the Therizinosaurus.
The Therozinosaurus previously appeared in the 2022 movie Jurassic World Dominion. I spoke exclusively with the team behind Jurassic World: Evolution 3 to break down why they consider the new dinosaur a pivotal addition to the franchise.
“The Therizinosaurus is a key franchise dinosaur now,” says Andy Fletcher, Game Director for Jurassic World Evolution 3. “Our narrative for our...
Red Barrels showed up for IGN Fall Fan Fest 2025 with a trailer for The Outlast Trials Invasion Mode, a major update coming in Season 4 that finally introduces its take on PvP.
The Invasion Experimental Therapy mode looks more Among Us than Dead by Daylight in its first two-minute trailer, revealing a twist on the live-service survival horror game that lets players stalk others while wearing their skin as a mask. It’s…creepy, to say the least, with Red Barrels prepping its PvP experience for Halloween with a release date of October 21, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S.
“You are not your brother’s keepers: you are your father’s children,” an official story description for The Outlast Trials...
Love them or, more likely, hate them, Minecraft's Creepers are now an iconic part of Mojang's beloved sandbox game. But the explosive creatures probably wouldn't be included today, the developer has said, if it were to design them from scratch now.
Speaking in a new developer video discussing game balance and fairness, chief creative officer Jens Bergensten said that Mojang now followed a strong principle when adding any new item, biome or enemy to Minecraft that could cause players grief. In a nutshell, if anything causes the player to suffer, it should be because players brought it on themselves.
"We want to avoid treating players in a way that feels unfair," Bergensten said. "So we have this guiding principle that bad things [can]...
The Battlefield 6 team at EA and Battlefield Studios is shrinking ticket sizes for their large-scale Conquest multiplayer game mode, but players aren’t sold that these changes will improve the pace of matches.
An update to the structure of Conquest matches arrived in an official post from the Battlefield Comms X/Twitter account. It details blanket changes across every Conquest map in Battlefield 6, as the developers aim to ensure matches “finish at a more natural pace.”
To achieve this, BF Studios says it has reduced ticket sizes – which essentially represent each team's available reinforcements – from 1000 tickets to a unique ticket goal for each map. These range from 900 tickets on maps like Siege of Cairo and Empire State to 700...

Guardians, the time has come to embark on Destiny’s greatest journey yet – and to make a real-world impact along the way. The Destiny 2: Expansion Bundle 2025 brings together years of adventure, mystery, and cosmic conflict in one incredible charity collection, offering an unprecedented way to experience Destiny’s universe while supporting a cause that truly matters.

Whether you’re just beginning your Guardian’s story or returning to face the Witness’s lingering...
Destiny 2’s recent Edge of Fate expansion marked the game’s seventh mainline annual expansion, and if there’s one thing that’s never been clearer, it’s that Bungie’s MMO/loot-shooter is tough for new players to get into.
Sure, the game isn’t in its best state right now ahead of the Star Wars-themed Renegades in December, but it’s still one of the best-feeling shooters.
If you’ve ever wanted to become a Titan, Hunter, or Warlock but felt you missed your chance, there’s good news: Green Man Gaming has bundled together every expansion for charity.
The Destiny 2: Expansion Bundle includes every major Destiny 2 expansion released to date, with tiers including Edge of Fate and even the upcoming Renegades, which supports the Bungie...
Gearbox developers have been addressing disgruntled Borderlands 4 players who have questioned the need to nerf overpowered builds in the mostly single-player looter shooter, saying it’s necessary to preserve the challenge and encourage build “diversity.”
This comes as players brace themselves for the end of builds that rely on what the community has dubbed 'the crit knife,' an "unintended interaction” Gearbox has said will be nerfed this week.
Borderlands 4 is rife with overpowered builds that cause massive damage, even to the game’s toughest bosses on the hardest difficulties. The most infamous of these is the crit knife, which Gearbox has said it’s aware of. But there are many others.
The nerf sweep set to hit Borderlands 4 has...
The Outer Worlds 2 is almost here, aiming to not just be bigger than its predecessor but a better RPG in every respect when it releases on October 29 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S.
We think Obsidian's sci-fi sequel is one of this fall's most slept-on games, possibly due to a bumpy start after The Outer Worlds 2 was initially touted as Microsoft's first $80 game. The publisher U-turned on the decision just a month later, however, saying it was keeping the price at $69.99 "in line with current market conditions."
We had a great time with The Outer Worlds 2 when we previewed it back in August, writing: "If it’s not clear by now, I’m really into what Obsidian is doing with The Outer Worlds 2. While I appreciated Obsidian’s...
October's list of PlayStation Plus games has been leaked online, and the new additions will reportedly include the 2024 remake of horror classic Until Dawn.
The line-up of additional titles headed to Sony's PlayStation Plus subscription this month has once again been posted by Dealabs' ever-reliable billbil-kun, who states that Until Dawn will join the previously-reported Silent Hill 2 remake as part of October's suitably spooky offerings.
PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers will gain access to both games — and several others — when the service next updates its offerings on October 21. Two additional titles will reportedly also join the PlayStation Plus classics range for Premium subscribers, also.
Until Dawn's 2024 remake updated...
Battlefield 6 launched to impressive player numbers just last week, but EA’s latest entry in the long-running FPS series is facing one issue that has players missing more shots than they should be.
As players across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S poured into Battlefield 6 in the days following its October 10 launch, they were met with a launch build that holds up much better than some of the more infamous launches of the franchise’s past. It’s not been without its problems, though, with one particularly annoying bug seemingly affecting hit registration for some guns.
Only a few clips analyzing the issue have managed to bubble to the top of online discussion, but each has drawn more examples from other individuals faced...
Fans across the world are paying tribute to "titan of soul" D'Angelo, who died yesterday aged 51 after an undisclosed battle with cancer.
D'Angelo was behind the hugely popular Red Dead Redemption 2 track, Unshaken, and fans of the game as well as developer Rockstar paid tribute following the news.
In a statement posted to social media, Rockstar Games called D'Angelo a "true titan of soul," writing: "We are eternally grateful for his track Unshaken which will forever be an enduring part of the legacy of Red Dead Redemption 2."
The Grammy-award winning musician released three albums over his career. 2014's Black Messiah was his last album, which makes the iconic track included on 2018 Red Dead Redemption 2's soundtrack one of his...
Battlefield 6 players haven’t decided what their favorite weapons are yet, but they’ve already fallen in love with a new movement tech called “ladder launching.”
To catch you up to speed, the ladder is a gadget available to use with the Assault class in Battlefield Studios and EA’s latest Battlefield game. It’s a traversal tool that can be used to reach high-up places, opening up opportunities to gain new vantage points or even sneak up on unsuspecting enemies. The thing is that now, just days after Battlefield 6 launched for PC and consoles, the ladder is also being used for much, much more.
If you’ve even accidentally whipped out the ladder while playing Battlefield 6 multiplayer, you might have noticed that actually mounting it...

In retro news, I've hired some Nathan Drake spooking clowns for the 16th Bday of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. To say this sequel blew my mind at launch is quite the understatement. U2 began and persisted with gobsmacking action setpieces, brilliantly balanced shootin' / punchin' / puzzlin' gameplay, and an Amy Hennig script that snap, crackled, and...
USB Type-C has become the standard for charging and data cables alike, so it's good to have extra on hand. Here's a great back to school deal where you can get some quality cables at a throwaway price. Amazon is offering a four-pack of Lisen 6.6ft 240W USB Type-C cables for just $11.89 after you apply coupon code "3FDEL3W7". That averages out to $2.97 per cable. USB Type-C cables typically go for about $10 per cable or more at your local big box store. These can charge nearly any device with a USB-C port, including your Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone 16, or even the new M4 MacBook.

Assassin's Creed franchise boss Marc-Alexis Côté has departed Ubisoft after a career spanning more than 20 years, IGN understands.
The news comes just two weeks after Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft's biggest brand, became operated by Vantage Studios, the separate business entity formed by Ubisoft with a 25% stake from Chinese giant Tencent that will also now oversee all future Far Cry and Rainbow Six games.
Ubisoft staff were informed of the news this afternoon via an internal email which discussed the need for Vantage Studios' leadership team to be "aligned" with its core goals. IGN understands that Côté was offered a role as part of Vantage Studios' leadership, but declined.
In an internal note to Ubisoft staff obtained by IGN, Vantage...
It took less than one week for Battlefield 6 players to start making Portal lobbies for XP farming – and some believe EA has already caught on.
Fans were quick to call out the progression system in last week’s new FPS entry as a bit of a slog. Although most are walking away from each multiplayer match happy with the package Battlefield Studios has crafted, even some of the most enthusiastic fans believe leveling up takes too long, with an unrewarding weapon unlock system and arduous challenges dampening the experience even further.
“Do they really think players have that much time and energy to grind endlessly just to get the rewards we’re supposed to earn naturally?” one player asked in a Reddit post. “It’s exhausting.”

Amazon's October Prime Day has ended, but the online retailer is already offering a new "Buy 2, Get 1 50% Off" sale this week on board games. There's a little bit of everything for everyone in here, from classic family games to modern party games. If you've been hoping to add some more board games to your tabletop collection, right now is a great time to do so.
The sale itself is fairly straightforward: Amazon has a big list of items that are included in the promotion and all you need to do is add two in your cart and the 50% discount will be applied to whatever the cheaper one is. That means if you want to take full advantage of the savings, you'll want to buy two similarly priced items. I've gathered some of the best board game...
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has revealed it's putting a temporary pause on content updates while it works on improving performance.
In an interview on the official Helldivers YouTube channel, director Mikael Eriksson admitted the game's most recent big update, Into the Unjust, had "more issues than [the team] were comfortable with," which is why the studio has now decided "to push some of our content and feature updates a little bit into the future."
Recent reviews for Helldivers 2 on Steam are 'mixed,' with most of the complaints revolving around performance trouble. The 'most helpful review' penned over the last 30 days is a negative one from a player with over 500 hours in-game. They called Helldivers 2's performance...
Fallout creator Tim Cain has continued his insightful video series on the development of the original Fallout game, this time focusing on lore with a number of fun reveals that have got fans talking.
Cain, the creator, producer, lead programmer and one of the main designers of Interplay’s 1997 post-apocalyptic role-playing game Fallout, released a video in which he talked about lore in the original Fallout that the team assumed was true but was never directly stated.
This “non-expository Fallout lore,” as Cain calls it, is lore from the first game only, lore the original team discussed among themselves and decided was true, and then made the game based on that. “None of this was written down” by any one of the 15 core people who...
The lead designer of Skyrim is "eternally shocked" at not just the RPG's success, but its enduring appeal, suggesting it's the game's open world and "quirkiness" that keeps players coming back 14 years after its debut.
Skyrim released way back in 2011. An open-world RPG, it puts players on the precipice of determining the future of Skyrim as the Empire waits for the prophesied Dragonborn to come, a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand among the dragons. IGN's Skyrim review returned a 9.5/10. We called it "a rare kind of intensely personal, deeply rewarding experience, and one of the best role-playing games yet produced."
Now, speaking on the FRVR Podcast, lead designer Bruce Nesmith offered his...
'The Only Reason Call of Duty Exists Is Because EA Were Dicks,' Battlefield Boss Vince Zampella Says
Battlefield boss Vince Zampella has said that Activision's best-selling Call of Duty franchise only exists "because EA were dicks."
It's an eye-opening but typically frank statement from Zampella, who is of course now an EA employee himself once again.
Over his career, Zampella has ping-ponged between rival publishers EA and Activision, working first on EA's Medal of Honor series, then founding Infinity Ward and helping create Call of Duty — specifically so it could be Activision's Medal of Honor "killer" — before returning back to EA after helping create Titanfall and Apex Legends at Respawn.
"The only reason that Call of Duty exists is because EA were dicks," Zampella told GQ, reflecting on his career.
Zampella initially worked...
Post-launch support for Hollow Knight: Silksong continues, this time with patch version 1.0.28891 out now.
The update makes a number of improvements and fixes, and some light balance changes. The game now pauses when the controller disconnects, which is an important safety net for such an intense game. Indeed, there are controller support improvements across the board.
On the balance side of things, there’s a slight increase to Sharp Dart and Cross Stitch damage, updated damage scaling on Rune Rage to match other Silk Skills, and a slight decrease to Thread Storm damage at higher needle levels. It’s also worth noting that the patch changes Fine Pins wish drops from 50% chance to 100%, but raises the required quantity.

Medics have found themselves fighting their own war in Battlefield 6 as desperate players take to using the repair tool to leave messages begging for revives.
EA and Battlefield Studios opened the floodgates when Battlefield 6 launched last week, October 10, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. As more than 740,000 players gathered to play on Steam alone, a new discussion about in-game classes has bubbled to the top with one question: are medics doing their job?
The Support class no doubt plays an important role in any Battlefield 6 multiplayer match. While Assault, Engineer, and Recon classes, too, bring important tools and skills to a fight, it’s only the Support class that can get downed soldiers back on their feet at...

The latest Steam Next Fest began this week, showcasing a wide range of upcoming titles. And as has become a trend, publishing platform indie.io has several titles featured. To celebrate, it has launched a campaign called Next Fest Party that will run from October 13–20 and includes free demos for 12 different games.
The games come from a variety of different developers in a variety of different genres, so we figured we’d give you a rundown of everything that’s available. Below you’ll find brief descriptions of each game, with each title linked to its free demos so you can try them for yourself.

EA and Battlefield Studios want players to know they are free to delete the Battlefield 6 campaign from their platform of choice after completing its story mode.
While many who hopped into Battlefield 6 after its October 10 launch quickly locked themselves away in its smorgasbord of multiplayer maps and modes, others dived straight into its new campaign. It’s a short shooter romp that spans nine missions and about five hours of gameplay, with some players, including leaker and X/Twitter user BobNetworkUK, beating it quickly enough to discover a pop-up window with an option to uninstall the story mode after it’s been completed.
The official recommendation first directs players to explore in-game challenges for unique unlocks tied to...
