The director of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls issued a statement apologizing for the game’s rough launch on PC and outlined upcoming balance adjustments based on the dev team’s findings.
Kazuto Sekine, director of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, published this statement on Monday, September 14, both in a short post on social media as well as a longer, in-depth blog post on the game’s Steam page.
To start, Sekine apologized for Tokon’s glaring issues on PC when it first released, which were so rough that even massive fighting game streamer Maximilian Dood uninstalled the game during a live broadcast.
“Seeing the game’s content so positively received, with players enjoying the experience and feeling inspired to keep playing, has been a...

Bungie's struggles grow more evident as Marathon undergoes a handful of drastic changes, with a move away from seasonal content, a focus on PvE, and a significant delay for the game's next update.
Bungie confirmed today that Marathon's next major update, which was slated to release on September 22, will now arrive on December 8. This update will add permanent PvE content, a social space with a firing range, an experimental TDM mode, and much more. On October 6, the game will get a smaller update that resets progression and the in-game economy to prepare for an overhaul.
Bungie noted that it is also moving away from traditional seasonal content updates in order to give the team more time to work on new content. The studio has also been...
It’s no secret that Valve is “hard at work” on Steam Deck 2 – its devs have said as much every time I’ve asked that question over the last several years, and their plans for a sequel have been clear from the start.
The crux of the message has always been that Valve is waiting for the proper technology in order to present a true “generational leap” in performance. The unspoken part of that, of course, is that Valve is waiting for not just the right level of performance, but the correct performance to price ratio that would make Steam Deck 2 a viable product.
In the time since the Steam Deck originally launched, a number of other, more powerful handheld gaming PCs have come to market – all at moderate to significantly higher prices. In...
Ubisoft has delayed Rayman Legends Retold from October to December.
Ubisoft confirmed the news via a social post today, noting that although Rayman Legends Retold has gone gold and was due out October 1, it isn't quite ready for launch. The team is taking the extra time to polish the game for release, which is now set for December 3. Expect a new look next week on September 22.
This will push Rayman Legends Retold out of the blast zone of major, earthshattering releases like Gears of War, Call of Duty, and GTA 6. Of course, Rayman appeals to a whole different audience, so those games may not have impacted its release in the first place, but it does allow it to soak up a bit more attention. Placing it in the heart of the holiday season...
Netflix has announced three Sega video game adaptations: a live-action comedy Crazy Taxi movie, a new Sonic animated series, and a live-action movie adaptation of RGG Studio's yet to be released Stranger Than Heaven.
The Crazy Taxi movie is described as ‘live-action comedy,' and the Stranger Than Heaven adaptation is 'live-action crime.’ The new Sonic animation is obviously for kids.
Crazy Taxi comes first. It’s written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, the duo behind the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, and Toru Nakahara, the producers behind the Sonic franchise, are on board to produce.
“Great games already have what every adaptation is chasing — characters people love, worlds they know by heart, and fandoms...
Lies of P looks set to be followed by "Wonders of O," according to a new trademark listing.
Developer Neowiz appears to have trademarked the title via the EU Intellectual Property Office, for use in an upcoming game (as spotted by PhraseMaker).
But while "P" was a reference to Pinocchio, what could "O" stand for? Well, fans of the puppet-starring Soulslike already think they know the answer, following various teases pointing to The Wizard of Oz and its character Dorothy — including a cameo from the Kansas heroine during the game's post-credits scene.
Announced as being in full development earlier this year, the follow-up to Lies of P has long been expected to center on characters from L. Frank Baum's Oz series, which is what our...
Capcom, publisher of not one or two but three well-received games so far this year (Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword), is opening its first retail store in the U.S. It'll be a pop-up in Little Akihabara in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The grand opening is this Saturday, September 19, and "a limited number" of attendees have a chance to play the upcoming Mega Man: Dual Override on Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, the first 50 shoppers on the 19th and 20th will receive "a limited-edition Tokyo Game Show handkerchief featuring popular Capcom games."
The pop-up will run through October 18 at Little Akihabara Popup Shop & Live, located at 319 E 2nd St. #122. Hours are from 12pm–7pm. Merch items include plushies...
Graveyard Keeper originally took the cosy gaming world by storm with its silly sense of humour, darker themes, and an overall “what if Stardew Valley was about being morally corrupt and burying people?” vibe. It was a deeply bizarre yet endlessly entertaining management sim. Now, we’ve got fantastic news: Graveyard Keeper 2 is officially here to deliver even more macabre fun.
A Bizarre Story of Amnesia and Talking Skulls
Once again, you take control of the Keeper. An amnesiac protagonist who is very clearly having a rough start. The game kicks off with you tied up after enduring months of torture. It’s a grim situation, but there’s a silver lining: a magical fairy arrives to help you escape, alongside a quirky talking skull...
Fortnite has officially confirmed its long-awaited Kingdom Hearts collaboration, with teases for at least four skins.
A brief teaser trailer posted to Fortnite's social channels shows Kingdom Hearts poster boy Sora picking up the series' iconic keyblade and posing for the camera. Yep, there's no doubt here — Sora is definitely becoming a Fortnite skin.
Text-based teasers also released by developer Epic Games suggest three other Kingdom Hearts characters are also coming along for the ride, including Riku, Kairi and Roxas. (Sadly, there's no sign of Mickey yet — though the idea of him cranking 90's while holding a shotgun seems unlikely.)
Kingdom Hearts will be the latest gaming franchise to join Fortnite during Override, its current...

Blizzard has insisted Diablo 4 still has “bright support” as the community debates the shock news that no more expansions will be released for the game and with Diablo 5 looming over the horizon.
At BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony, Blizzard announced Diablo 5 for 2029. It’s due out six years after Diablo 4, and promises more classes than any Diablo game has had before. (If you need a catch-up, here's everything announced at BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony.)
But what does all this mean for Diablo 4? In an interview with PC Gamer, Diablo 4 game director Brent Gibson said Blizzard is now focused on releasing seasons for Diablo 4 and “getting to Diablo 5.”
“We feel like we told the Story of Hatred,” he added. “We had a great conclusion...
While tons of new updates are coming to Diablo, including a new Netflix series, Diablo 4 Season 15, a Switch 2 port, and more, the biggest reveal for the franchise at BlizzCon 2026 was the announcement of Diablo V, coming in 2029.
IGN sat down exclusively with the team behind the upcoming game, including Game Director Joe Shely, Narrative Director Jennifer Helper, and Production Director Tiffany Wat, who gave us tons of new details about Diablo 5, including how it’s already past early development.
IGN: I know probably nobody has missed the Diablo 5 announcement, but can you guys just kind of give sort of a top-level view of what the game will be?
Joe Shely: Diablo 5 is a world where Sanctuary has fallen and Diablo has won. That...
CD Projekt and Blizzard have released a first look at the Geralt-themed Barbarian skin for Diablo 4, but you'll need to preorder The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past on Battle.net to get it.
During BlizzCon 2026, CD Projekt’s Expert Community and Social Media Manager Amelia Korzycka and Level Design Lead Miles Tost appeared as guests on the 30 Years of Battle.net panel to reveal the skin, which will be available to Battle.net players who pre-purchase Songs of the Past (it’s only available to wishlist right now), or buy the expansion when it launches. That means the Geralt skin is locked behind Battle.net, which in turn means Steam players, for example, miss out.
This, as you can imagine, isn’t going down particularly well with...
Among the many announcements during yesterday’s BlizzCon Opening Ceremony, the news that Diablo is getting its own show at Netflix has at least one of the franchise’s development teams chomping at the bit. Yesterday, Blizzard president Johanna Faries revealed that a Diablo animated series is in the works but admitted she “can’t spill the beans” just yet on exactly what the new show entails.
Regardless, the development team behind Diablo 4 says it’s quite possibly the reveal they are most excited about, even more so than the news that Diablo 5 is coming out in 2029, Diablo 4 is getting a Switch 2 port, Spawn is coming to Diablo Immortal, and the arrival of the Amazon class. I sat down with Brent Gibson, Diablo 4’s Game Director, and...
You heard it here first, folks: Tracer is still the face of Overwatch, despite not being featured in many major collaborations or promotional materials as of late.
We got the chance to sit down with the minds behind Overwatch at Blizzcon 2026 to discuss the game’s newest support hero, Doctrine, and the future of the franchise — as well as grill them about Tracer’s role as its supposed mascot.
When you think about Overwatch, you probably think of Tracer. She was essentially the star of the show when the game first launched in 2016, and was consistently featured in marketing materials, merchandise, advertisements, and more. Her iconic silhouette and speedy abilities were inescapable back then… but now, not so much.
We directly asked...
World of Warcraft: Forever, a Classic+ iteration of the long-running franchise that lets players return to an updated vanilla Azeroth featuring new zones, dungeons, raids, and more, was announced at yesterday’s BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony. And now, the game’s developers are revealing why they think the new take on the classic game (along with the numerous other WoW updates announced yesterday) renders the long-speculated World of Warcraft 2 unnecessary.
I sat down with Kris Zierhut, World of Warcraft: Forever’s Principal Designer, and Mike Nuthals, the game’s Lead Encounter Designer, immediately following yesterday’s announcement to break down the game’s many new features and to discuss why they think it’s even better than any...
We got the chance to speak with the developers of the new StarCraft game, who explained why they shared such a distant release date and even teased some potential gameplay elements for this highly-anticipated title.
StarCraft is finally getting a new game, and it’s taking a drastically different approach from its predecessors; instead of an RTS, Blizzard’s grisly sci-fi property is making its debut in the realm of open-world shooters, and it’s set to launch in 2030.
That’s a long way out from now, and it’s anyone’s guess as to what the world will look like in four years. We got the chance to ask the developers everyone’s burning question at Blizzcon 2026: Why announce the game if there’s still so much time left before it releases...
If you're a bit stunned to hear that there's a new single-player story campaign for Warcraft 3 in 2026 – 23 years after its last expansion, The Frozen Throne – then you can imagine how I felt when Forsaken Kingdom fell into my hands ahead of its surprise announcement and immediate release today. It's honestly great to be back, considering Blizzard hasn't given single-player RTS fans anything new to chew on at all since 2016's Starcraft II: Nova Covert Ops. This expansion maintains the feel of classic Warcraft 3 while mixing in some new ideas, and that's something I might never run out of appetite for.
At the time of writing, I've only had the chance to play through maybe a quarter of the new story: the four-mission Last Days of...
Blizzard has teased another new Overwatch Hero after revealing Doctrine just moments ago.
Just as fans of the long-running hero shooter took to social media to celebrate the reveal of Overwatch's new vampire-themed Support Hero, Blizzard snuck in another surprise with a post on its social media page. What seemed to be an innocent enough post showed off the full new Hero roster for 2026 – but wait, who's that?
Doctrine has joined Jetpack Cat, Anran, Emre, Dmon, Mizuki, Shion, Domina, and Sierra, but tucked in the far-right side of the group photo is a character no one has ever seen before. It turns out the image included a first look at a yet-to-be-named Omnic with a robotic trench coat, a swanky hat, and what seems to be an umbrella...
BlizzCon 2026 came with a lot of surprises, but few were as big as the Diablo 5 reveal – and we're about to learn even more.
Yes, in case you missed it, Blizzard Entertainment is working on Diablo 5. The fifth entry in its massively popular dungeon-crawler video game series is set to bring players to a ruined Sanctuary in spring 2029, but the news doesn't stop there.
"The heroes are gone, Sanctuary has fallen, and Diablo has won," Blizzard's Joe Shely said today. "For the first time, you won't be fighting to stop Diablo from taking Sanctuary. You'll enter a world where he already has. There are no towns, no safe places waiting to protect you."
The Diablo team is ready to reveal even more about the next big installment in the...
Blizzard ended its BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony with the announcement of World of Warcraft Forever.
This “Classic Plus” MMO is developed by the World of Warcraft Classic team, and is set during the first year of World of Warcraft. It features three new zones, several overhauled existing zones, and over 1,000 quests. Elsewhere, there are nine new dungeons and even a new race.
Blizzard showed off a cinematic for World of Warcraft Forever during the Opening Ceremony, confirming a release date for November 4.
Also at BlizzCon, Blizzard announced the next content update for World of Warcraft: Midnight, called Eclipse. Fans were treated to a cinematic alongside a gameplay trailer, before the teaser fans had hoped for. The Last Titan...
Blizzard has shadow-dropped a brand new campaign for its real-time strategy game Warcraft 3.
Forsaken Kingdom is a two-part prologue for the 24-year-old RTS, which can be bought standalone. It goes live today, September 12, following the BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony.
The surprise announcement is part of the 3.0 update for Warcraft 3 Reforged, which is free for all players and includes World Editor updates.
Here's everything announced at BlizzCon 2026 for more.

Diablo 5, a brand-new mainline entry in Blizzard’s long-running action RPG series, was announced today at BlizzCon 2026.
A short teaser during today's BlizzCon’s opening ceremony shows the return of the Lord of Terror, one century after the events of Diablo 4.
The Diablo development team also revealed that Diablo 5 will release in Spring 2029, a full 6 years after the release of Diablo 4, and more than three decades after the series first launched.
Diablo 5’s story is confirmed to take place a full century after the events of Diablo 4, and will be the first game in the series that is set entirely post-apocalypse.
BlizzCon 2026 also saw more Diablo news, including The Amazon - a new class pack coming to Diablo 4 in 2027, word...
Overwatch 2 is getting a brand-new vampire-inspired support hero, as well as the conclusion of Act III in The Reign of Talon storyline and several big character changes.
Our new addition is Doctrine, a vampire support hero who deals lots of damage and healing with a high mechanical floor. He comes with a brand-new playable escort map, Watch Point Grimsvotn, a volcanic prison where he’s being held captive. What’s more, he’ll be playable for a trial weekend starting today, September 12, both on the Blizzcon convention floor and at home.
In other big news, Overwatch Season 5 begins on October 6. Dokiwatch is also returning, and there are some major character reworks planned: Roadhog is being reworked into a tank that “actually helps his...
It’s been over 15 years since Blizzard’s beloved real-time strategy game, StarCraft 2, came out. Now, a new game in the series has been announced — but it’s still years away.
Revealed at BlizzCon 2026, the simply named StarCraft is the next title in the sci-fi franchise, and it’s going to look markedly different from its predecessors.
In fact, it’s a completely different genre. StarCraft is an open-world shooter, and it’s due out in 2030. While this distant launch window makes it hard to get too excited about StarCraft just yet, Blizzard has a history of announcing games far before they're ready for the public to play. In fact, it’s something the company behind Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch is notorious for doing, historically...
An animated Diablo show is in the works at Netflix, as announced at Blizzcon 2026, and there could be more to come.
Blizzard president Johanna Faries revealed the news, alongside a teaser for future series based on some of the company's other properties.
"We are thrilled to share that we are in development for a new animated series for Diablo with Netflix," she told the crowd. "As a big Diablo player myself, and someone who loves the indulgent darkness of Sanctuary, I am very excited to see this project come to life. It's just the beginning; to our Overwatch community, to our Warcraft community, and who knows — perhaps even some of our other universes, just know there are great discussions being had.
"And while I begged and pleaded...
Blizzard’s flagship MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, is finally showing signs of life.
Announced at Blizzcon 2026, the game is getting its first new character since Hogger was released in 2020, as well as a new PTR.
Xal'atath, the primary antagonist of World of Warcraft’s Midnight expansion, is coming to the Nexus on Monday, September 28. The PTR begins on Monday, September 14.
This is a welcome surprise for Heroes of the Storm fans, who had all but accepted that the game might never get updated again. Blizzard ended official support for HotS in 2022, explaining that “future patches will primarily focus on client sustainability and bug fixing, with balance updates coming as needed."
However, the title received a significant patch in...
Borderlands 4 is climbing Steam charts as players fall head over heels for its new DLC character – a Vault Hunter named Loveless the Hacker.
Gearbox Software's latest Borderlands game struggled in the months following its September 2025 launch. Despite delivering the looter shooter series' biggest launch ever, technical issues across PC and console, as well as Gearbox's handling of the situation, were immediately followed by a steep decline in players, with SteamDB recording numbers that have struggled to break 10,000 concurrent users since January of this year.
Borderlands 4 might have launched to generally favorable reviews (IGN gave it an 8/10), but it's struggled to recapture player interest – until now. Friday, September 10, saw...
Developer Level-5 has apologized for and explained its use of generative AI after fans spotted "AI slop" in footage of games like Professor Layton and the Curious Village, DecaPolice, and more.
Concerns emerged following the studio's Nintendo Direct-style presentation earlier this week. Dubbed Level5 Vision 2026 II: Dreams, the show came with first looks at upcoming games, and it also happened to feature what fans suspected to be multiple examples of genAI.
Those who tuned into the 50-minute presentation spent more time talking about what they believed was evidence of AI use rather than the games, such as the Professor Layton remake, Yo-Kai Watch 2: Haunted Domain, and DecaPolice. The footage causing a stir is mostly limited to...
BlizzCon 2026 is upon is, and IGN is reporting live on all the announcements direct from the opening ceremony.
The company behind Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, and Overwatch is set to deliver an Opening Ceremony that has more buzz about it than perhaps any BlizzCon in the past. The action kicks off at 10.30am pt / 1.30pm ET / 6.30pm UK time, and we’ll be reporting on all the news from the main stage, where we have reporters on the ground.
So, what can we expect? Blizzard has confirmed that the Opening Ceremony will see Johanna Faries, President of Blizzard Entertainment, joined by leaders of all Blizzard franchises for "major game announcements." The big hope is that Blizzard announces something StarCraft related, after weird glitches...
