Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has its long-awaited Patch 10 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. This is the big anniversary update that makes a number of significant changes and additions to Saber Interactive’s explosive third-person action game.
It’s worth noting that while Patch 10 is live now, Season Pass 2 and the Black Templars and Imperial Fists cosmetics do not go live until later today, September 4.
Patch 10.0 adds new game modes and maps, along with the Chaos Armour Pack, Champion Customisation, new weapons, and more.
The Chaos Armour Pack is available for free. You can finally change the armour set of your Heretic Astartes in PvP, but you have to unlock the set first. Each class requires you to score a...

Long before Bungie’s Destiny suited up and took players on a looter shooter odyssey across the universe, there was Borderlands from Gearbox Software. A delirious exercise in abundance with more quips, comical eye-winks, enemies, missions and weapons than you could shake a hairy stick at, Gearbox Software’s raucous looter shooter set a new standard for the genre when it debuted all the way back in 2009, and it’s one that the series has been iterating on ever since. Now in the year of our lord 2025, Gearbox Software is back at it again with Borderlands 4, the latest entry in its looter shooter series that aims to level up the genre like never before. Here’s how Borderlands 4 does just that.
Gun And Loot Customisation, Which Reaches New...
I always tell myself I'll stop stockpiling games, but these sales keep proving me a liar. When the discounts are this sharp, it feels less like spending and more like investing in future fun. From family favourites to violent epics, today's spread has plenty worth pulling the trigger on.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm using a flaming grenade to light a 12-candle cake baked for Killzone: Mercenary, the 2013 FPS that brought the Helghast war to PS Vita. This was no half-hearted spin-off either. At the time, it felt like a full console-grade shooter shrunk down to fit in my hands, complete with weighty weapons, sharp visuals, and a clever mercenary angle (letting you earn cash...
007 First Light is set to release for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 27, 2026. It’s a new origin story for James Bond, so it stars a young version of the MI6 agent, before he becomes the slick professional who’s been a cinema mainstay for decades now. The game is developed by IO Interactive, the same team that made the Hitman: World of Assassination games. It’s available for preorder now in several editions. Read on to see what comes in each one.

007 First Light has set a release date of March 27, 2026, as part of an extensive look at gameplay during a Sony State of Play deep dive.
IOI’s James Bond adventure launches then across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Pre-orders get an upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for free. This includes 24 hours early access, four exclusive outfits (Day of the Dead, Desert Explorer, Silent Anchor, and Gentleman Operator), a new weapon skin, and the Gleaming Pack (the Gleaming Lighter, the Gleaming Earphones, the Gleaming Phone, and the Gleaming Pen).
During the State of Play, Patrick Gibson (Dexter: Original Sin, The OA) announced the ensemble cast of voice and motion capture actors for 007 First Light, confirming...
When it comes to casting, arguably no role in the world garners more attention than that of James Bond. Connery, Brosnan, Craig, each of us has our favourite version of the iconic British spy. Now, following a period of (now confirmed to be successful) internet sleuth work, we have a new face to add to the canon: Patrick Gibson.
007 First Light is the new Bond adventure from Hitman developer IO Interactive, and features a brand-new origin story for the MI6 agent. 30-year-old Gibson will portray the youngest on-screen 007 to date, who is only 26 at the beginning of this story. The Irish actor is by no means a complete unknown, having appeared in TV shows Dexter: Original Sin, Shadow and Bone, and The OA, but is not the superstar casting...
A short time into developing 007 First Light, something happened that meant parts of James Bond’s next adventure needed to be rewritten. No, it wasn’t anything going down internally at the studio that led to such a change, but something entirely more global: the death of Queen Elizabeth II of England.
The news was huge, but the impact on the script, not so much. It mainly revolved around instances of characters having to refer to protecting both King and country rather than Queen, and Bond being on His Majesty’s Secret Service rather than her.
“It was fairly small, it did feel significant,” revealed Martin Emborg, First Light’s narrative director. "It wasn't like going in and going like, delete, delete, delete. It did feel, and we...
To say MindsEye suffered from a rocky launch would be a bit of an understatement. A release plagued by a poor critical reception, refunds to players who purchased it, and subsequent layoffs, developer Build a Rocket Boy’s debut game garnered its fair share of negative headlines.
But there was once a time when there was something to be excited about when it came to MindsEye, so much so that IOI Partners — the publishing arm of Hitman and 007 First Light studio IO Interactive — saw enough promise in it to distribute the game.
“The initial talks we had with those guys were to support them”, Hakan Abrak, CEO of IOI, told IGN. “We thought they had some great ideas and a great world in the background that they were building, and hopefully...
James Bond. Indiana Jones. Lara Croft. Nathan Drake. Each of these iconic globetrotters was inspired by the one created before them. Now that pattern comes full circle, with IO Interactive's 007 First Light channeling the action movie spirit of Naughty Dog's Uncharted series. But that circle forms a coin, much like the one IOI's other iconic leading man keeps in his pocket, with two distinct sides. Agent 47's DNA runs deep in the developers' new James Bond origin story, to the point that if the charismatic British spy himself sported a barcode on the back of his head, you'd likely scan it and find out he'd been engineered on the same production line. From what I've seen of 007 First Light so far, and from talking to the team at IOI...
Sony and developer IO Interactive just brought the 007 First Light State of Play to a close after showing off more than 30 minutes of gameplay for its new James Bond video game.
It was a presentation that mostly went as expected, as IO used the September 2025 State of Play as an opportunity to highlight the early days of James Bond’s time with MI6. Fast-paced car chases, explosive shootouts, and creative gadgets landed among the highlights from the presentation, but it was IO's promise of a March 27, 2026, release date for 007 First Light that truly stole the show. Plus, we finally received confirmation that Dexter: Original Sin star Patrick Gibson is, in fact, the actor chosen to play James Bond in the new video game.
IO originally...
NetEase Games has released the first trailer for Marvel Rivals Season 4: Heart of the Dragon, revealing a first official look at two new heroes, Daredevil and Angela, as well as a release date for the new PlayStation 4 (PS4) port.
The minute-and-a-half cinematic video sees Matt Murdock go head-to-head against the winged Asgardian while confirming rumors that the popular comic book hero shooter would soon come to PS4. It also comes with a release date of September 12, 2025, meaning at least some of the new content featured in today’s trailer is only a little more than a week from its official launch.
“The Timestream Entanglement has drawn the Seven Capitals together, forming the Heart of Heaven,” an official description from NetEase...
007 First Light is the upcoming action-adventure from Danish developer IO Interactive, the studio behind the famed stealth series Hitman. But just how were the James Bond video game rights secured? Well, it turns out with a little help from a certain Hitman’s body and a very famous face.
IOI CEO and First Light game director, Hakan Abrak, revealed to me at a recent studio visit that the head of the most recent screen Bond, Daniel Craig, was sculpted onto the torso of Agent 47 and dropped into the World of Assassination.
“We actually did put Daniel Craig in there”, Abrak revealed. “We just modeled his head and put it in instead of Agent 47, just for demo purposes, giving an impression of what these living, breathing spaces mean in an...
Fresh from serving up a smalltown, psychological scare-a-thon in the form of 2024’s superb Silent Hill 2 remake, developer Bloober Team has since focussed its energy on birthing a snarling, spiritual successor to the Dead Space series in the form of Cronos: The New Dawn. Silent Hill 2 is a tough act to follow, though, so even though Cronos is a respectable creep show it’s hard not to be a little disappointed it didn’t knock my socks off in the same way. This survival-horror shooter takes place amidst the ruined, futuristic hellscape of a plague-riddled Polish city, a fascinating and foreboding expanse to set its slaughter in, but its fairly uninspired combat doesn’t do enough to distinguish itself from the necromorph-dismembering series...
Call of Duty players have noticed something a little different with the Warzone and Black Ops 6 mid-season Season 05 Reloaded update: a lack of goofy cosmetics. A sign of things to come, perhaps?
Amid pressure from the more grounded Battlefield 6, Activision recently confirmed a U-turn on Call of Duty’s out of place skins for the upcoming Black Ops 7 by canceling plans to let players carry forward items from Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty’s foray into goofy skins territory is not a new phenomena, although recent releases have certainly amped up the conversation around them. With the likes of Beavis and Butt-Head and American Dad hitting the game this year shortly after weed-obsessed bundles starring Seth Rogen, some fans have said they’ve...
Forsaken 64 is the surprise next N64 game coming to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics: Mature app for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members.
Some N64 games on Switch and Switch 2 via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription are only available via the separate Mature app. The list includes Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Shadow Man and Perfect Dark. Now, add Forsaken 64, which launches September 4, to the list.
Forsaken 64 launched in 1998 courtesy of developer Iguana UK, which handled the port, and publisher Acclaim. It’s a 3D first-person shooter similar to 1995’s influential Descent, with a whiff of Quake. You navigate through a series of tunnels while blasting enemies in a sci-fi setting...
The announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release date of September 4, 2025, delivered in a brief trailer two weeks ago, was amazing, celebratory news for Silksong fans who had been waiting for such news for over six years.
But it was a far less celebratory day for the developers of around 10 other video games with existing marketing plans to launch right around that same time.
In the ensuing weeks, the list of games that have moved their release dates for Silksong has only grown longer as developers reconfigure marketing plans and find new dates that work. As of this piece’s publication, that list includes Demonschool, Aeterna Lucis, Little Witch in the Woods, CloverPit, Megabonk, Baby Steps, Faeland, Starbirds, and Moros...
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is getting a second season, but if you missed the first season, it’s not too late to catch up on the Netflix-bound anime.
If you did enjoy it already, there’s good news: It’s coming to Blu-Ray via Crunchyroll, and you can preorder it right now.
Preorder Edgerunners On Blu-Ray Now
The first season is available to preorder via Crunchyroll’s own storefront so far, and is only available in the US at the time of writing. It’ll set you back $123.98 (that’s a lot of Eddies), and it’s a pretty packed set.
The 10 episodes are split across a trio of discs, there’s a storyboard booklet from director Hiroyuki Imaishi, another booklet, and three animation cel sheets alongside a poster.
Preorders are open now, with shipping...
The Initiative, the studio behind Perfect Dark, was shuttered earlier this year in a mass Microsoft layoffs, with its project apparently canceled. However, Perfect Dark apparently remained in development at Crystal Dynamics until just last week, while leadership from both studios struggled to find new funding from a surprising source: Take-Two.
In a report from Bloomberg, which IGN can corroborate from its own sources, it is revealed that Perfect Dark was not "fully abandoned" when The Initiative shuttered earlier this year. Leadership from both Crystal and The Initiative spent the following two months looking for a new publisher and funding source. While multiple parties expressed interest, the most likely candidate turned out to be...
Call of Duty players have a welcome surprise today after Activision handed out a whopping 20 free battle pass tier skips to Warzone and Black Ops 6 players.
In a social media post, below, Activision said the free handout was “in celebration” of the Black Ops 7 reveal. But Call of Duty fans are entirely more sceptical, based on the replies to the social media announcement.
Comments include everything from the typical “dead game” accusations having sparked the generous offer to convince lapsed players to return to the game, to pressure from Battlefield 6 forcing Activision into more pro-consumer behavior.
There's also a degree of frustration from some who had just spent money to unlock tier skips before this announcement. And there are...
Steal the Brainrot has found its way to Fortnite's Creative mode and is proving to be just as popular as the Roblox experience it's inspired by. Ferins, who is responsible for creating Steal the Brainrot island has mirrored the tycoon game, allowing Fortnite players a taste of stealing and buying brainrots, generating cash and locking their abses, as well as earning money offline.
There is also the bonus of Steal the Brainrot Fortnite codes, which give you boosted sever luck and the chance to spawn a variety of Brainrot Gods and Zombies. So, if you're looking for all active Steal the Brainrot codes, IGN has you covered.

These are the currently working codes for Steal the Brainrot Fortnite...
No Man’s Sky's latest free Voyagers update has taken off in more ways than one, bringing in the highest number of players since it launched back in 2016.
Hello Games' Sean Murray commented on the achievement on X/Twitter, posting a screenshot commemorating the number of players who were in-game at the time — 97,986 — adding: "Highest number of players since launch," and appending a "mind blown" emoji.
Interestingly, the peak has risen even further since then, with Steam reporting a 24-hour peak of 98,285 concurrent players.
No Man’s Sky is a game about exploration and survival, set in an infinite universe. Voyagers adds a long list of features, which Murray said Hello Games had worked on for some time. Chief among them is the...
Tower defence games are a wonderful genre, offering that quick-hit rush of upgrades, strategy, and success. There’s something endlessly satisfying about figuring out the right route to block and the perfect spot for each tower. It’s a genre built on steady escalation, watching your little defences grow into unstoppable machines. The problem, though, is that the genre doesn’t always leave much room to innovate. The formula is pretty rigid, which means a lot of games end up feeling very similar. Tower Dominion, though, does something different, and it’s all the better for it.
The big twist here is that you’re not just defending against incoming enemies, you’re also the one building the very paths they’ll take. Each round deals you...
22 years after it began, the Call of Duty video game series is finally getting a Hollywood movie, thanks to a deal between Activision and Paramount.
Both companies issued a joint statement in which they said the partnership “aims to bring the iconic Call of Duty universe to life on the big screen, delivering an unforgettable cinematic event for fans worldwide.”
Unfortunately we know nothing of the movie itself, except it’s a live-action feature film. There’s no release window, director attached, or cast.
Call of Duty fans have for years wondered why the game hasn’t had an official adaptation, considering Hollywood’s love of war movies. Call of Duty itself is one of the biggest video game franchises of all time, with over 500 million...
Microsoft has confirmed the Xbox Game Pass September 2025 Wave 1 lineup of titles, which is headlined by Team Cherry’s hotly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong.
But first, available today, September 2, is I Am Your Beast (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard. Here’s the official blurb from Microsoft’s announcement post on Xbox Wire:
"I Am Your Beast is a shortform covert revenge thriller FPS about getting hunted across the North American wilderness by the military-industrial complex — and turning the tables. Break your opponents. Use their own equipment against them. Duck into your tunnel network before enemy forces zero in on your location. Repeat."
Tomorrow, September 3...
Space Marine 2 offers just a slice of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, presenting the Ultramarines chapter of Space Marines against two enemy factions: the Tyranids and the Thousand Sons traitor legion. This, its developer has said, has led to some “assumptions” about the Warhammer 40,000 universe that are untrue — assumptions that have become widespread as a result of the game’s huge success.
Speaking to IGN at gamescom 2025, Tim Willits, development chief at Saber Interactive, said Space Marine 2’s popularity had opened the door to the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 setting for an army of new fans who aren’t necessarily clued up about the intricacies of the universe.
“I heard that lots of people now think that Thousand Sons are the only...
Ubisoft is set to celebrate all things Rayman as it gets ready to mark the series' 30th anniversary, promising it's working on the "future" of the series.
The official Rayman X/Twitter account has long been dormant, only resurfacing a handful of times in 2020, then once in 2021, and not at all since then. Yesterday (September 1), however, it was resurrected to bring us up to speed on what's happening in Rayman's world.
"Rayman turns 30! Join us on our official channels to celebrate an incredible legacy," the account exclaimed, attaching a brief video. In the video, brand producer Loic Gounon — who has been working on the Rayman franchise since 2006 — revealed that "a very talented team at Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are...
Hold on, Hollow Knight fans — we're almost there. Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated to release this coming Thursday, September 4 on PC, Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series for $19.99 / €19.99 / ¥2300.
The highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning metroidvania sees us play as Hornet as we journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts, and uncover ancient secrets tied to your nature and your past.
Team Cherry finally revealed Hollow Knight: Silksong's September 4, 2025, release date at gamescom. We learned the news via a nearly two-minute trailer dropped by Team Cherry, which showed a ton of new footage from the game. We see Hornet exploring, loads of new insectoid NPCs...
Players jumping into Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch will be able to upgrade to the "enhanced" Switch 2 version for free.
That comes from Team Cherry itself, which explained in an update on Kickstarter that while OG Nintendo Switch keys will be delivered directly to backers via email, Switch 2 players will need to download the Silksong Upgrade Pack from the eShop to unlock "enhanced features" (thanks, Eurogamer).
"For Nintendo Switch 2 players, after redeeming your Nintendo Switch key and downloading the game, you will additionally need to download the (free) Hollow Knight: Silksong Upgrade Pack from the eShop to unlock the platform's enhanced features," Team Cherry advised.
Though not explicitly confirmed, this suggests...
NBA 2K26 is almost here. Bragging rights are on the line in MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyNBA, The W, and Play Now as you showcase your moves with "hyper realism," challenging your friends, or rivals in NBA 2K26’s competitive modes.
While most people will be able to play from this coming Friday, September 5, those who bought the Superstar or Leave No Doubt editions secured early access that let them hit the court a week early from August 29.
We think NBA 2K26 is shaping up well, writing in IGN's NBA 2K26 review-in-progress: "Despite my problems with its offline-only modes, the fundamental gameplay tweaks show plenty of promise in what I’ve played on my first day with it. I’m especially excited to see how it looks in MyCareer with its...
The high price of PlayStation 5 gaming is affecting Monster Hunter Wilds sales, Capcom has said.
Monster Hunter Wilds got off to an incredible sales start when it launched in February. After releasing to a Capcom record-setting 10.1 million copies sold, 8 million of which were in just three days, Wilds shot up to become the best-selling game in the U.S. year-to-date according to Circana.
However, for the quarter ending June 30, Monster Hunter Wilds sold 477,000 copies, only just above the 389,000 copies sold of four-year-old game Monster Hunter Rise. Wilds was the 9th best-selling game of the quarter for Capcom, while Rise was the 10th.
In Capcom's consolidated financial results, the company said: "Regarding catalog titles, although...
