TSA Warns That You Shouldn't Try to Fly With a Call of Duty Zombies Monkey Bomb Figurine

If you're looking to pick up some video game-inspired replicas or figurines while traveling, you might want to think twice about bringing anything that looks like a Call of Duty weapon in your baggage. That's the takeaway, at least, from a recent post by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) discussing prohibited items. As spotted by Dexerto, the TSA account on Facebook highlighted a replica figurine of the Monkey Bomb from Call of Duty's Zombies mode that officers at Boston Logan International Airport found in a checked bag. The Monkey Bomb, or Cymbal Monkey, has appeared in numerous Call of Duty games, from World at War through to Black Ops 6. This particular figurine is meant to be a controller, with its hands...

Yes, Skate Will Require An 'Always On' Internet Connection

EA's highly anticipated Skate revival will require an "always on" internet connection. In an updated FAQ on the official blog, developer Full Circle gave a "simple answer: No," adding: "The game and city are designed to be a living, breathing massively multiplayer skateboarding sandbox that is always online and always evolving. You’ll see bigger things evolve, like changes to the city over time, as well as smaller things, like live events and other in-game activities." An "always on" requirement means games cannot be played offline, even if you avoid multiplayer modes or prefer to play alone. However, in this case, Full Circle prefers Skate to be connected to the internet "to deliver on [its] vision of a skateboarding world, the game...

Capcom Teases Resident Evil 9 In This New Light-Hearted Video To Celebrate 10m Resident Evil 4 Players

Capcom has dropped a sneaky little Resident Evil 9 tease in plain sight. In celebration of hitting a staggering 10 million players, the Resident Evil 4 dev team uploaded a short video to social media earlier today, April 25, showing Ada Wong having a quiet word with one of gaming's most iconic villains before cutting to Leon, the infected horde around him donning party hats as they mosey towards the church. It then cuts to a rock song, Dr Salvador strumming his chainsaw like a guitar — yes, really — and the camera pans back to show a fist-pumping Leon. Behind him is a rustic sign with the words "Thank you for playing" emblazoned across it. You can see it in full below: Turn that sign onto its side, however, and the boards on the...

Dune: Awakening’s First 20 Hours Are Damn Impressive, Despite Loads of Bugs - Closed Beta Impressions

When I first saw a demo of Dune: Awakening over a year ago, I went from being skeptical that a survival game on the famously barren world of Arrakis could even work, to being absolutely hyped to get my hands on it. Now, after enduring the unforgiving conditions and hostile lifeforms of a desert planet for nearly 20 hours in the closed beta, I’m confident developer Funcom has the foundations of an absolutely stellar MMO that makes fantastic use of one of the greatest science fiction worlds ever created. Harvesting raw materials from the brutal wasteland, constructing bases, upgrading your character and loadout, and then bringing all of that to bear against raiders and rival houses is just about as good as I’d hoped for. That said, I...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Fans Are Saying Nintendo Could Learn a Thing or Two From Bethesda When It Comes to Video Game Prices

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has become something of a lightning rod for the ongoing debate around Nintendo’s pricing for the Switch 2 and its games, with some fans saying the company behind Mario could learn a thing or two about video game pricing from Bethesda. Oblivion Remastered, developed by remake specialist Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, has a long list of visual and feature improvements. It runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, as you'd expect, but other changes are more meaningful. Everything from the leveling systems to character creation and combat animations to in-game menus have been improved. Meanwhile, there's lots of new dialogue, a proper third-person view, and new lip sync technology. The...

Hideo Kojima Cast Margaret Qualley in Death Stranding After Seeing Her Dance in This Wonderfully Bizarre Perfume Ad

Hideo Kojima has revealed he cast Margaret Qualley for the role of Death Stranding's Mama after seeing her in a Spike Jonez fragrance advertisement. Sharing the viral commercial in a tweet earlier today, April 25, Kojima wrote: "I saw this and offered her the role of Mama (Lockne) in Death Stranding." The advert shows Qualley dancing to a bassy dance track, much like Fat Boy Slim's viral video for Weapon of Choice, which starred a twinkled-toed Christopher Walken. Qualley plays Bridges member Mama — Målingen — in Kojima Productions' Death Stranding, one of the greatest, gadget-inventing scientists working in the United Cities of America. With her twin sister, Lockne, also played by Qualley, she also created the Chiral Network...

22 games will be pulled from the PlayStation Plus library next month, including Grand Theft Auto 5, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, and the last playable versions of first-party titles Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2.

Capcom's Beloved RPG Breath of Fire IV Back From the Dead on PC, 25 Years After Original Launch

Breath of Fire IV is back from the dead on PC, 25 years after its original launch. Capcom’s much-loved role-playing game first launched on the PlayStation in Japan and North America in 2000, then in Europe a year later. The PC port came out in Europe and Japan in 2003. It revolves around a man called Ryu (not that other Capcom Ryu) who can turn into a dragon. He teams up with other warriors to prevent an emperor from destroying the world. As part of its ongoing Preservation Program, GOG has fully updated Breath of Fire IV for modern PCs and released it DRM-free on its platform. The enhanced version is fully optimized for modern systems, with Windows 10 and 11 compatibility. There’s both English and Japanese localizations, along...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Already 20% Off on PS5, Xbox and PC in the UK

Although Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has only been out for a day, but you can already grab Sandfall Interactive's well-received RPG at £10 off on console at Amazon UK and £8 off on PC at Fanatical. With these discounts, you can now grab the hit turn-based adventure for £39.95 on PS5 & Xbox physically, while a digital Steam copy for PC is now priced at £33.59. While these price slashes could be due to an effort to undercut The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered — which released just two days ago and will arguably eat into its player base — Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a critical darling that's well worth your money in its own right, even at full price. A 30-to-60-hour single-player game, Clair Obscur is an ambitious spin on...

Madame Web’s Sydney Sweeney to Star in Split Fiction Movie Adaptation

Sydney Sweeney is set to star in the Split Fiction movie adaptation. A movie based on Hazelight’s game was reported to be in the works last month, with Story Kitchen, the video game adaptation specialist behind the Sonic films, said to be assembling writers, a director, and the cast. Now, according to Variety, Split Fiction is starting to take shape, with Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney signed on to appear in the film. Wicked director Jon M. Chu is down as the director, with the script written by Deadpool & Wolverine screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Story Kitchen is now reportedly taking this talent package out to Hollywood studios for an expected bidding war. The big question of course is which sister Sweeney will play...

Ex-Bethesda Dev Declares a Winner in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Most Absurd Face Category

Oblivion is back, and it’s not just because Bethesda’s remaster is a nostalgia-fueled trip down memory lane. It’s because of all the funny faces. Oblivion Remastered, developed by remake specialist Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, has a long list of visual and feature improvements. It runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, as you'd expect, but other changes are more meaningful. Everything from the leveling systems to character creation, and combat animations to in-game menus have been improved. Meanwhile, there's lots of new dialogue, a proper third-person view, and new lip sync technology. The changes are going down well with fans, some of whom believe Oblivion Remastered would be more accurately described as a remake...

Madden NFL 26 Locks in Release Date, Hits Nintendo Switch 2 but Ditches PS4 and Xbox One

Electronic Arts has officially confirmed the release date for the next entry in the Madden NFL series, and it looks like the series is making the full leap to the current generation of consoles. Madden NFL 26 will debut on August 14, 2025 with a three-day early access period for Deluxe Edition pre-orders starting on August 11. The next pro football entry will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, and on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Next-Gen Blade Runner Game From The Studio Behind Until Dawn Reportedly Scrapped

Supermassive Games, the studio behind horror adventures like Until Dawn, The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures anthology series, has reportedly ceased development on an unannounced Blade Runner game. As reported by Insider Gaming, Supermassive was working on a "character focused, cinematic, action adventure" game about the last Blade Runner in 2065, called Blade Runner: Time To Live. The story would have allegedly followed a vintage Nexus-6 model named So-Lange, under orders to retire the leader of an underground replicant network, who gets betrayed and left for dead in a harsh environment, with gameplay broken up into stealth, combat, exploration, investigation, and dramatic character interactions. Insider Gaming reported that Blade...

Indie Publisher Boss Feels ‘The Pain for Our Team’ After The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Shadow-Drop Sucks the Air Out of the Room

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered’s shadow-drop release on April 22 took the internet by storm, but indie developers who planned to launch their game on that same day were left reeling. Jonas Antonsson, co-founder of indie publisher Raw Fury, took to social media to explain how “massive” shadow-drops from huge games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered can cause everything else coming out at the same time to get “buried.” “I loved (when younger) and still absolutely love Oblivion and I’m personally excited to see it get a breath of new life and being introduced to a whole new generation of players,” Antonsson began. “But from the perspective of indies and indie publishers, this is the problem with these sort of...

Tron: Catalyst Introduces a Time-Loop Twist to the Iconic Cyberscape

The original Tron has a particularly interesting place in pop culture, delivering the first movie about video games and the hidden worlds within computers. So it's a wonder that the first film and its follow-ups still haven't made that many forays into video games proper after more than four decades since the 1982 original. Thankfully, recent attempts from developer Bithell Games have done more to push the concept of Tron beyond just the imagery of speeding light cycles and fast-paced identity disc combat to offer more of a look into the inner machinations of the Grid. With Tron: Catalyst, we have a new action game set within The Grid's neon, grey-soaked setting to uncover a larger conspiracy involving the impending end of the computer...

After The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered’s Success, Ex-Bethesda Dev Expects a Fallout 3 Remaster Would Significantly Improve the ‘Not Good’ Gun

With The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered going down well with fans, thoughts are now turning to which Bethesda game is set for the remaster treatment next. And with many speculating Fallout 3 is coming (it was leaked back in 2023), how might Bethesda improve upon its 2008 post-apocalyptic role-playing game? Bruce Nesmith, one of Fallout 3’s designers, has pointed to the game’s “not good” gun combat, which he expects Bethesda would improve significantly for a remaster. Speaking to VideoGamer, Nesmith said Fallout 3 Remastered would have shooting more in-line with that of Fallout 4. “What did you see in Fallout 4? That will tell you what they felt was necessary to change from Fallout 3,” Nesmith said. “I know in Fallout 4 there...

Frostpunk 1886 Is a Remake of the First Game Due Out 2027, Dev Insists It Will Continue to Update Frostpunk 2

11 bit studios has announced Frostpunk 1886, a remake of the first game due out in 2027. The Polish developer is using Unreal Engine 5 for this project, which it has revealed just over half a year after Frostpunk 2 came out. The first Frostpunk launched in 2018, so assuming the remake does come out in 2027, it’ll be nearly a decade on. Frostpunk is a city-building survival video game set in an alternate history late 19th century. You build and maintain a city during a worldwide volcanic winter, managing resources, making choices on how to survive, and exploring the area outside their city for survivors, resources, or other useful items. IGN’s Frostpunk review returned a 9/10. We said: “Frostpunk deftly mixes a variety of thematic...

EA Sports FC 25 Gets First Ever Paid Season Pass, EA Insists It's 'Purely Additive'

EA has added a paid season pass to FC 25 in a first for its long-running soccer series. The EA Sports FC 25 Premium Pass is live now in-game and can be obtained with the earnable in-game virtual currency (500,000 UT Coins) or the virtual currency paid for with real-world money (1,000 FC Points, which cost $9.99). The paid track includes exclusive content and, crucially, tradeable packs. This means players of Ultimate Team (FC’s most popular and controversial mode) can sell the rewards obtained in the Premium Pass to other players for in-game currency that can then be used to buy the next Premium Pass (assuming they earn enough coins from the sale of those items in the auction house, of course). Rewards include a number of powerful...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Review in Progress

Like a member of the Mythic Dawn popping out of a secret room to stab the emperor in the back, a remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has shown up out of nowhere, and it’s a dagger I’ll gladly throw myself on. As one of my favorite RPGs ever, it’s no surprise that I’ve already put in a full day’s worth of playing: I’ve closed a dozen Oblivion gates as the hero of Kvatch, made Faustian bargains with a bunch of Daedric gods, fought to become champion of the arena in the Imperial City, and am well on my way to completing a few of the faction questlines – and so far I’m quite impressed by the substantial upgrades of this new version. I recently revisited the original Oblivion, so with its shortcomings very clear in my mind, the...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Includes That Iconic Line Flub From the Original Game

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered reimagines one of Bethesda's most important games with new visuals, gameplay mechanics, and more, but that didn’t stop the team at Virtuos from including one of the original's most iconic lines. Most veteran Elder Scrolls fans have no doubt heard of Master Speechcraft trainer Tandilwe, a High Elf who can be found in the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. When Oblivion launched for PC and Xbox 360 more than 19 years ago, it was clear Tandilwe could use some speech training of her own. One of her voice lines is a recording of what has long been assumed to be mistakenly included audio of actress Linda Kenyon taking another stab at a line. As players began their trek through a revitalized...
