Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will release on September 30 — at least, that's what the Xbox App was telling prospective players over the weekend.
Look now, and you may get the placeholder date of 31 December, 2025, showing on the Xbox app's Legacy Kollection storefront (or at least I did when I checked first thing this morning), but for a brief time yesterday, players were getting a different date: either September 29 or September 30, depending upon where they were in the world.
As posters on Reddit suggest, this will more than likely get confirmed at the next Evo weekend, the annual celebration of all things fighting games, the next of which is set to take place in Las Vegas on August 1. It's possible the release date went live a...
Earlier today, we reported that Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has opened to 114,000+ concurrent players on Steam, making it one of the biggest launches on Steam for a non-FromSoftware Soulslike game yet.
This milestone comes in spite of 'mostly negative' on Steam as players report issues with "extremely awful performance," a "completely lifeless" main character, and "clunky" combat and gameplay. At the time of writing, just 22% of the 9,300+ reviews left are positive.
Developer Leenzee has now issued an update about the issues, admitting "these problems should never have occurred," adding "we deeply regret the inconvenience and negative experience some players are currently facing."
"We are confident in the game’s performance within our...
I’ve ploughed through more release schedules than is probably healthy, but that hasn’t stopped me from dipping into the discount bin whenever gold floats to the top. This week’s crop caught me mid-caffeine sip and featured some genuine stunners. No filler, all killer, and a few legacy titles that are criminally underplayed too.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm hyper beaming 31 candles on a cake for Super Metroid, a true legend of the Super Nintendo. To say this blew my mind at launch is quite the understatement; my SNES-owning neighbour and I were glued to his CRT (especially during sleepover sessions when this game's spookiness factor increased). Even to this day, this remains a masterpiece of the action-adventure genre...
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch is back in the world of Predator via an extended version of animated movie Killer of Killers — and it’s sent fans of the long-running sci-fi franchise down a lore rabbit hole that calls into question the endings of the original movies and what was thought to be a canon Predator video game.
This week at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, current Predator custodian Dan Trachtenberg announced a surprise extended version of Killer of Killers that shows Dutch from the original Predator and Danny Glover's Mike Harrigan from Predator 2 captured and frozen by the Yautja. Trachtenberg said during a panel at Comic-Con that Schwarzenegger had given his blessing to use Dutch in future stories, leaving the door open to a Killer...
IGN can exclusively reveal a brand-new gameplay trailer for Alien: Rogue Incursion - Part One: Evolved Edition, the previously VR-exclusive shooter that is set to be released on PS5 and PC on September 30, 2025.
The new footage, which you can see below and is filled with blood and snow, shows plenty of Xenomorphs stalking the main character - ex-Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks - and the terrifying and exhilarating action that will follow, complete with Pulse Rifles, Motion Trackers, jump scares, and more.
As for the story, for those who didn't play Alien: Rogue Incursion when it first launched on PlayStation VR2 and PCVR via Steam in December 2024 (And on Meta Quest in February), it is set on the planet Purdan (LV-354) in Gemini...
Cast your mind back to 2023. At the time, MCU fans didn’t know who exactly would go on to play The Sentry in Thunderbolts*, but the rumor mill pointed to Invincible star Steven Yeun. So when Invincible creator Robert Kirkman let slip that Yeun would be playing Robert Reynolds, aka The Sentry, in Thunderbolts*, Marvel fans went wild.
Here’s that original quote from Kirkman two years ago:
“Yeah, he [Yeun] called me, he went in for a costume fitting. I hope I’m not... I don’t think this is a spoiler or anything that will get anybody in trouble. I don’t know, maybe. We’ll see. I don’t care. I don’t work for Marvel. What are they going to do to me?
“Yeah, he called me and he said, 'I just came back from a costume fitting for The Sentry. I...
Three months after its "surprise" shadowdrop on Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has topped nine million players.
In a social media post today, Bethesda announced that the game had reached 9 million players alongside a humorous graphic featuring everyone's favorite NPC:
Notably, this count is only a player count, not a sales total. Oblivion Remastered launched on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, meaning there are a lot of subscribers who booted up the game at some point without explicitly paying for it.
Despite that, we do know that it's sold very well anyway. It massively outsold the original Oblivion and was the best-selling game of April in the U.S., and was still doing pretty all right in June per...
It only took one match of Wildgate to see the potential in its spacefaring PvPvE mayhem. Now, after just over 20 hours of playtime, I’m also noticing where there is still room for it to build on that compelling concept. The intensely cooperative chaos of managing a spacecraft, delving into PvE dungeons for loot, and fending off rival crews makes for complex and exciting contests of teamwork and communication. Unfortunately, that level of coordination doesn’t always lead to great outcomes when matchmaking with random crewmates, where silent players or, worse yet, insanely toxic personalities can make for a bad time. But when a matchmade crew manages to come together, or you bring your own friends to the party, Wildgate’s simple but solid...
Amazon MGM Studios is working with MachineGames to create a Wolfenstein TV series.
Details come from Variety, which states that a show based on the iconic Bethesda Softworks property is in development. Although no specific plot details are ready to be shared, the team behind the Wolfenstein series shared an official logline that makes things nice and simple: “The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.”
The foundation for a TV series adaptation based on the classic alternate history video game franchise is about as solid as any fan could hope for. The Leftovers writer and Station Eleven creator Patrick Somerville is currently attached as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for the Wolfenstein show via his chaoticgood.tv...
MindsEye Developer Delays Hitman Crossover Update, Says Updates May Be 'Less Frequent' Going Forward
A planned crossover event between Hitman and MindsEye has been delayed indefinitely, while developer Build a Rocket Boy says future updates "may be less frequent".
This was announced today on the MindsEye official website. In the post, the developer says the following:
The update also says "Moving forward, updates may be less frequent, but with the aim for each to bring more meaningful changes." Updates are still planned for August and September, but the developer says that these are focused on performance improvements and bug fixes rather than content.
Originally, the Hitman crossover was planned to bring Agent 47 to Redrock City, though it's unclear exactly what that would have entailed. The crossover came about thanks to Hitman...
Sure, A Minecraft Movie made nearly $1 billion at the global box office, but one of the biggest things to come out of the film was undoubtedly the reactions to the Chicken Jockey scene. Now, you can pre-order your very own action figure and plush of the iconic zombie and chicken duo and get a first look at them if you happen to be at San Diego Comic-Con.
Mattel's two new Minecraft exclusives - the Minecraft Movie Chicken Jockey Large Scale Action Figure and Minecraft Zombie Chicken Jockey Plush - made their big debut at SDCC and those in attendance this weekend can see them in person by stopping by Microsoft's booth #435.
If you aren't able to make it, you can pre-order the Minecraft Movie Chicken Jockey Large Scale Action Figure at...
The debate over the direction of role-playing games has raged on for years. There's been a little extra fuel to the fire in 2025 with the success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 though, as its a turn-based RPG that wears its inspirations right alongside the 33 on its sleeve.
Now those links are reality, as several members of the Clair Obscur team recently visited Square Enix's offices and met with some of the development leads there, including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi and Visions of Mana director Ryosuke Yoshida.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 game director Guillaume Broche, producer Francois Meurisse, and technical director Tom Guillermin, as well as publisher Kepler Interactive's CEO Alexis Garavaryan, took the...
The barrage of abusive comments that Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds has been receiving from Japanese-speaking fans recently caught the attention not just of Japan’s gaming media, but of The Sankei Shimbun, a major mainstream newspaper. However, Monster Hunter Wilds is just the tip of the iceberg. Threatening comments, especially those targeting individual developers and company employees, have become an increasing problem for the Japanese game industry, with many major companies drawing up specific policies against harassment from customers over the last few years.
In the Sankei article, Hideki Yasuda, an experienced games industry analyst at Toyo Securities weighed in on the topic. He noted that while there have always been...
Everyone who's wanted to run through Elden Ring Nightreign with just their trusted duos partner is getting their wish. FromSoftware confirmed today that a two-player Duo Expeditions mode will arrive in Elden Ring Nightreign Patch 1.02.
The patch will arrive on July 30, allowing just two Nightfarers to embark on expeditions to strike down the Nightlords together. Before now, the only options were to either head out on a solo expedition or team up with two others for a trio.
Duos has been a hotly requested feature, as it there seems to be a solid contingent of players who'd like to play with just one other person. Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki previously said the two-player mode was something that was "overlooked"...

The Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake only launched late last year, but the remake of the classic RPG is down to its lowest price ever on multiple platforms at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop.
On PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is now only $34.99 — $25 off its $59.99 MSRP. That also puts it at the lowest price new physical copies have ever been, according to price trackers like CamelCamelCamel.

The release date of Dying Light: The Beast has been pushed back by four weeks to “allow for extra polishing”. It will now arrive on September 19, 2025.
Developer Techland shared the news that Kyle Crane’s beastly zombie-killing story will be in players’ hands a little later than expected, having shifted from its original August 21 launch day.
It explained the decision via a blog post that said: “It has always been our goal to make Dying Light: The Beast the best Dying Light game we’ve ever released. To honor this promise, we’ve made the decision to move the release date to September 19, 2025 to allow for extra polishing work.”
“We understand that this may be disappointing, but our experience has shown how important the first...
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s patent infringement lawsuit in Japan against Pocketpair’s open-world survival game Palworld is ongoing. In the latest development, Nintendo has reworded one of the patents in the case, but what led up to this bizarre move?
Palworld is an open-world survival game that skyrocketed in popularity upon its Steam and Xbox early access launch back on January 19, 2024. It sold 8 million copies in just six days and racked up over 25 million players in one month.
The game world is inhabited by creatures called Pals, which you can capture and use (read: exploit) to carry out various tasks. The visual appearance of the Pals and the method of capturing them by throwing a ball (Pal Sphere), quickly drew...
If you’ve ever found yourself paralysed by a backlog but still willingly opened your wallet for “one more banger,” we suffer the same disease, my friend. I’ve stared down more digital shopping carts than I'd care to admit, and today's deals haul came back stacked. In case I don't see you, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!

In retro news, I'm commemorating the 35th birthday of Magic Sword, an arcade classic. In this Capcom hack 'n' slash side-scroller, you were cast as one of two He-Man types and set loose on 51 floors of mummies, dragons, and...er, Easter Island heads? Nabbing keys and releasing prisoners would add an AI party member who basically acted like a side weapon pod. What hooked me most: the...
We currently know six of the playable characters in fighting game Invincible VS. There will be more, of course. But just how many? Based on comments from Invincible creator Robert Kirkman in an interview with IGN at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Invincible VS will have a massive roster.
Invincible VS is the upcoming 3v3 tag fighting game set in the Invincible universe. It’s developed by Skybound Entertainment’s first in-house game studio, Quarter Up. Already confirmed Invincible VS characters include Mark Grayson (Invincible), Atom Eve, Thula, Bulletproof, and Rex Splode. Check out IGN’s Invincible VS preview from June for more.
Fresh from his SDCC 2025 panel where he announced Battle Beast for Invincible VS, Kirkman told IGN that if fans...
The cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps recently gathered to try out Marvel Rivals for the first time, and the actors' reaction to Invisible Woman’s skimpy Malice skin has the internet in tears.
Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm), and Joseph Quinn (Human Torch) recently gathered to play NetEase Games’ popular hero shooter with YouTuber Loserfruit. The resulting video is quite funny, showing the new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) family as they fumble through a few matches as their in-game counterparts.
It's goofy and occasionally hard to watch as Pascal flails his stretchy arms at enemies, but the highlight is no doubt the Fantastic Four cast’s reaction to Invisible Woman’s...
During his panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Robert Kirkman announced that Matthew Rhys voices Dinosaurus in Invincible Season 4, and committed to a 2026 release window.
Warning! Potential spoilers for Invincible Season 4 follow:
Rhys, who played Philip Jennings in The Americans, plays Dinosaurus in Invincible. Dinosaurus is expected to be the next major villain to appear after Conquest, and in the comics seeks to heal the world from the toxic effects of human civilization.
Meanwhile, Kirkman said all of Thragg’s lines have been recorded, but stopped short of announcing the voice actor. Grand Regent Thragg is the true main villain of the Invincible saga, and the ruler of the Viltrumite Empire.
With Season 4 set for release in...

Ubisoft has announced a release date for Claws of Awaji, its first Assassin's Creed Shadows expansion. The major new add-on will arrive on September 16 as a paid DLC, or for free to those who pre-ordered the game.
Included within it is a new region — the island of Awaji — fresh gear, abilities, outfits, enemies, and 10 hours of new story content that picks up Shadows' main plotline for those who've now seen the game's main end credits roll.
What new revelations lie in wait for Naoe concerning her family? Will Yasuke get to take down some more Templars? There are now less than two months to go until we find out.

Just in case there was any lingering doubt about the wild success of FromSoftware's juggernaut Elden Ring series, today publisher Bandai Namco confirmed its DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, has sold over 10 million copies, and its co-op spin-off title, Elden Ring Nightreign, five million.
The base game itself has now exceeded 30 million copies sold.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a single-player DLC expansion for FromSoftware's hit RPG featuring an all-new story set in the Realm of Shadow, complete with new weapons, items, enemies, and boss encounters.
We thought Shadow of the Erdtree was a 'Masterpiece', and awarded it a rare 10/10, writing in IGN's Shadow of the Erdtree review: "Like the base game did before it, Elden Ring...
