Titanfall fans are reeling from the news EA has canceled another incubation project at Respawn Entertainment, and simultaneously laid off a number of individuals across its incubation, Apex Legends, Star Wars: Jedi, and EA Experience teams.
Bloomberg reported the canceled game, codenamed R7, was an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe. And while that is not the Titanfall 3 sequel fans have been clamoring for, some are devastated that the fan-favorite Titanfall 2 is still without a sequel almost a decade later.
"I just fell to my knees at Walmart," said one player, while another simply wrote: "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE."
"How many more times will this happen before they finally give it up and leave us to our sorrow?"...

Gearbox development chief Randy Pitchford has insisted the decision to release Borderlands 4 earlier than planned had nothing to do with any other game’s release date, amid speculation the shooter might have moved due to games such as Marathon or Grand Theft Auto 6.
Co-op focused FPS Borderlands 4 was due out September 23, but will now release on September 12 across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
This 11-day shift sparked speculation that GTA 6’s release date had come into focus and that parent company Take-Two, which also owns GTA developer Rockstar, had shuffled its pack in a bid to give Borderlands 4 more breathing room. GTA 6 is currently still down to launch in the fall of 2025.

Diablo 4 has launched Season 8 and with it kicked off a series of free updates that will, eventually, lead into the action role-playing game’s second expansion, due out at some point in 2026.
But not all is well within Diablo 4’s ravenous core community. It is a player base hungry for significant new features, reworks, and fresh ways to play the near two-year-old game, and it’s not shy about letting Blizzard know how it feels. Yes, Diablo 4 is more than its core community, with a significant number of casual players who just like to blast monsters without too much thought on how they’re doing it. But the foundation of Diablo 4’s community is made up of veteran fans who play week in, week out, fuss over meta builds, and want Blizzard to...
With sales this good, your pile of shame's about to become a colossal pillar of discounts. This last-gasp-of-April haul packs a punch across all platforms, whether you’re craving tactical drama, nostalgic chaos, or sprawling open worlds. Let’s cut straight to the gems lighting up the digital shelves this week. It's the usual case of grab 'em before they're goneski.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, today's a day of sombre remembrance for two consoles. 28 years ago, we witnessed the discontinuance of Sega's Game Gear, a battery-guzzling beast that sold 10.62M units and I fondly remember for its Sonic games and extravagant TV Tuner attachment. It's also been 23 years since we bade farewell to the Nintendo 64, which delivered...
Fans hoping to catch the first few episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld will have to drop into Fortnite if they want to watch the series before it comes to Disney+.
Epic Games unveiled how it will expand upon its existing Star Wars offerings today, revealing that the upcoming animated spinoff’s first two episodes will premiere exclusively through Fortnite. It’s part of the studio’s efforts to double down on Star Wars content for its upcoming Galactic Battle season, which focuses on delivering Star Wars-themed goodies.
You’ll be able to see Tales of the Underworld kick off with two episodes starring Asajj Ventress via the Star Wars Watch Party island starting at 10 a.m. ET on May 2 – two days before the show comes to Disney+...
Note: This review specifically covers the multiplayer mode of Tempest Rising. For thoughts on the story mode, check out the Tempest Rising single-player campaign review.
The problem with Tempest Rising's multiplayer is that while it's perfectly competent at recreating a slice of the old Command & Conquer multiplayer with a pair of new and interesting factions, it's just that: a slice, rather than the whole pie. With only two factions, nine maps, and the most basic of options for customizing its two or four-player matches, just about everything here screams "minimum viable product." Combine that with the fact that Tempest Rising doesn’t aspire to be anything more than a revival of C&C’s gameplay, and there's not a tremendous amount to...
Infinity Nikki and its multiplayer-focused 1.5 update are out on Steam and a parade of drama is walking hand in hand with them.
Infold Games’ stylish dress-up adventure made its way to Valve’s digital storefront yesterday following months of Epic Game Store exclusivity. What could have been a moment for fans to celebrate has instead been marred by a wardrobe of technical issues, perplexing design changes, and demanding outfit requirements. The developers have since apologized while promising compensation for those who feel wronged – but the battle for Infinity Nikki is far from over.
Infinity Nikki PC players were excited to hop into its Steam release yesterday but were met with technical issues that range from an inability to launch...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 is continuing its line of weed-themed additions with a full-on Seth Rogen Operator.
Activision unveiled how the marijuana enthusiast and Hollywood star will join the iconic FPS’s string of cameo characters in a blog post on its website today. He’ll bring his memorable laughs and colorful attire to Call of Duty players as part of the High Art event pass, which is set to roll into Black Ops 6 Season 3 Reloaded come May 1.
High Art is available from May 1 – 15 and has two tiers: one free and one premium. You’ll miss out on the Rogen Operator if you stick with the free pass, which comes with seven goodies that pay homage to pot in different ways, including a Casual Ops Operator skin. The premium pass...
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
IGN understands that these wider cuts largely impacted EA's Experiences team, which includes groups such as EA's Fan Care team and various others working on customer support and marketing, though other EA departments saw reductions as well. As with other cuts at EA, those impacted will be given the opportunity to apply for other roles internally prior to being let go.
"As part of our continued focus on our long-term strategic priorities, we’ve made select changes within our organization that more effectively...
Diablo 4 Season 8 gives us our first true look at one of the franchise’s Great Evils, as Belial, Lord of Lies, descends on Sanctuary and takes his place at the top rung of the revamped Boss Ladder. Lay claim to his and other seasonal Boss Powers by traversing the world and defeating Hell’s greatest threats. Blizzard has thrown down the gauntlet with this new season, increasing difficulty across the board while tamping down top-end outliers. To combat this, IGN and Maxroll have teamed up to bring you a fresh set of guides to help you claim the immeasurable power of Diablo IV’s toughest enemies and fight back against the demonic hordes.
Diablo 4 Seasonal Theme: Boss Powers
Season 8 allows you to harness the powers of Diablo IV’s...
There’s a good argument to be made for Doom’s inclusion among the most influential game franchises of all time. It’s widely considered the progenitor of the first-person shooter genre that’s dominated the market for decades, paving the way for franchises like Call of Duty and Halo while retaining its relevance with excellent modern shooters.
As we near the release of the series’ next chapter, we’ve compiled a chronological list of every Doom game in order.
How Many Doom Games Are There?
There are six Doom games, excluding add-ons and enhanced versions of previously released games, though those are noted within each blurb where applicable. Doom: The Dark Ages will be the seventh mainline Doom game. This list excludes mobile games like...
EA has canceled another incubation project at Respawn Entertainment today, and simultaneously laid off a number of individuals across its incubation, Apex Legends, and Star Wars: Jedi teams, IGN has learned.
In a post today from the studio, Respawn announced is has "made the decision to step away from two early-stage incubation projects and make some targeted team adjustments across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi." One of these canceled incubation projects is the same one already reported on back in March.
"These decisions aren’t easy, and we are deeply grateful to every teammate affected — their creativity and contributions have helped build Respawn into what it is today," the post continued. "We’re offering meaningful support to...
Something is on the way for the intrepid Helldivers of Helldivers 2. Arrowhead Game Studios is announcing the new Warbond next week, and there will be some exciting news soon after.
In an update posted to the r/Helldivers2 subreddit, Arrowhead Game Studios relayed a short message:
While players were expecting an update today, it seems like all news is pushed out to next week and after. That said, the one teaser image has given players a little bit to go on.
As one poster noted, the Super Earth flag looks a little "pointy" and also a little "grabby," indicating the spike at the top and the grip on the pole. Could this be a weaponized Super Earth flag, ready to spread democracy with its pointy end through the galaxy?
The easy...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is set for Patch 8 and with it the hotly anticipated Horde Mode, which fans hope will breathe new life into the third-person action game.
In a post on publisher Focus Entertainment’s website, developer Saber Interactive revealed how the Horde mode will work. It’s for up to three players (you can play solo with two bots, like in the PvE Operations mode), and, as you’d expect, you fight increasingly difficult waves of Tyranids and Chaos. Your class and weapon levels are based on your PvE levels.
“Difficulty will increase for each wave defeated, so you’ll have to prepare yourself accordingly to vaporize as many waves as you can,” Focus and Saber said.
The companies also offered a first look, below, at...

ARC Raiders is blisteringly, aggressively archetypical, the extraction-est extraction shooter that ever extracted. It’s one of the least surprising games I’ve ever played, holding so much in common with its inspirations that they’re almost comically indistinguishable. For preview purposes, this is a very good thing: If you enjoy other games about scavenging goods while avoiding PvE foes and robbing PvP humans, you’re probably going to like ARC Raiders. If you don’t, then there’s likely nothing new here to tempt you.
This is a game so unabashedly tied to its progenitors that the hero’s default melee weapon is a pickaxe, the same weapon Fortnite metaverse heroes dropping off the Battle Bus lug into combat. That’s a cute enough homage...
Of the topics in constant rotation in role-playing discussions and forums, few have come up as often as turn-based games. The classic gameplay style of many RPGs has contended with more action-oriented systems for some time, and now Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is restarting discussion over the direction of some genre titans.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 went live last week and is, by both IGN's and many other accounts, an excellent RPG. It is unabashedly clear about its inspirations. There's a turn order, Pictos to equip and master, zoned-out "dungeons" to crawl, and even an overworld map.
In an interview with RPGsite, producer Francois Meurisse said Clair Obscur was conceived as a turn-based game from the start, and pointed to Final...
Gearbox’s upcoming first-person shooter Borderlands 4 will release 11 days earlier than planned, as confirmed by development chief Randy Pitchford in a video that appears to have gone live early.
Borderlands 4 was due out September 23, but will now release on September 12 across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
In the video, Pitchford said: “Everything is going great, actually. In fact, everything is going kind of the best-case scenario. The game is awesome, the team is cooking, and so the launch date for Borderlands 4 is changing. We’re moving it forward. The launch date is now September 12.”
“What?! This never happens you guys! This never happens! We’re moving the launch date forward! You’re gonna get...
My first ritual was ended by a large man with two morningstars swinging around him in a circle. Think the hands of a clock — one short, one long — but spikier and much, much more deadly, and equally inevitable as time, at least to the novice. I was playing a Barbarian that run; I didn’t understand what I was doing yet, or how to avoid them. My dodges weren’t dodging. I’d done pretty well up until that point, but he chewed through my lives like a dog with a bone, and then I was dead, my ritual incomplete. But I’d gotten somewhere, earned some upgrades, had a better idea of what I was doing. Time to try again.
Conquest Dark is a strange beast. It clearly owes a lot to Vampire Survivors, but its inspirations don’t quit there. It’s also...
Amid the heightened interest in all things The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion brought on by Bethesda’s popular remaster, its original designer has admitted the game's level scaling system was a “mistake.”
Oblivion’s level scaling system is perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of the 20-year-old open-world role-playing game. It means loot acquired is tied to the level of your character at the point you acquire it. So, if you complete a quest for a coveted sword at level one, you’ll get that sword locked at level one power. If you complete the same quest at level 25, you’ll get the sword at level 25. This, frustratingly, locks that cool sword you got at level one to level one power for your entire playthrough, no matter how much you...
IGN can exclusively reveal exciting new details about Crunchyroll's third annual Ani-May, which is set to be a month-long, global celebration that includes merchandise based on beloved anime, deals, partnerships, and experiences in stores and online, free-to-stream anime, new additions to the Crunchyroll Game Vault, and so much more.

Cowboy Bebop, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Chainsaw Man Lead the Selection of Free-to-Stream Anime During Ani-May
Beginning on May 1, Crunchyroll will be offering up some of the most popular anime for free with Ads for the entire month. From Cowboy Bebop to Demon...
Even a casual glance at the magnificent form of one of Elden Ring's best-known players, Let Me Solo Her, is enough to humble the strongest Tarnished, but even he struggled with one of FromSoftware's most formidable foes, Bloodborne's Orphan of Kos.
Let Me Solo Her first rose to prominence in the Elden Ring community in April 2022, when he took on the role of a loincloth-clad jar-headed messiah, bringing much-needed aid to the countless players grappling with the hit RPG’s most infamous optional boss Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
By his own estimation, since then he has played for over 1,200 hours and fought Malenia thousands of times. His efforts earned him legendary status in the Elden Ring community, resulting in FromSoftware sending...
11 years after its debut, Far Cry 4 now runs at 60 frames per second (fps) on PlayStation 5.
As spotted by gael_74 and posted to the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the update history for the game states that Version 1.08 introduced "support 60 FPS on PS5 console."
So, if you've yet to play it, now would be a good time to give Far Cry 4 a try. Featuring one of the series' best antagonists, Pagan Min, Far Cry 4 plonks you into a vast and colorful open-world, the vertical landscape of the Himalayas not "just a pretty backdrop, but a playground that encourages the player to fight, hunt, and explore."
"Far Cry 4 has weak characters, but its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer feature incredibly fun freedom," we wrote in IGN's "great"...
This article contains spoilers for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 side content. It does not spoil the main story.
Thanks to its astonishing, utterly absorbing story, I found little time for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s side content. For two dozen hours I stayed true to the mission and pushed onwards towards my goal of defeating The Paintress. Not that I could see much else to do; optional regions and objectives seemed few and far between. But upon reaching the final phase of the story, in which you unlock the ability to fly around the overworld map, my assumption about side content was proven totally wrong. This world is so much bigger and more impressive than I realised.
Soar up into the clouds and you’ll find scattered floating...
Good news, Sam Fisher fans: Ubisoft has confirmed it still remembers Splinter Cell exists by adding Steam Achievements to 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
While our last meaningful update about the Splinter Cell Remake came in 2022 when IGN met with Ubisoft Toronto developers to discuss their design philosophy behind the game, overnight, the developer quietly updated the achievement list for the 12-year-old Blacklist on Steam.
Ubisoft said: "Agents, we are pleased to announce that Steam Achievements are now available for Splinter Cell: Blacklist!"
The achievements will be "retroactively earned for the accomplishments already completed in your game," although for that to happen, you need to boot up the game at least once. "Once...
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of any official announcement that the fighting game is coming to the new console.
We still don't have confirmation that the game based on Akira Toriyama's fan-favorite anime and manga series is coming to Switch 2, but a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, spotted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, proves otherwise.
"Experience the fighting action in the latest game Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Available on Nintendo Switch 2, featuring 3D battles and storylines that change based on your choices," the tweet said before it was taken down, confirming it had secured a 12+ rating.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero takes the...
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers releases on July 24, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Microsoft is bringing it to Game Pass day one for those subscribed to the Ultimate tier.
Players keen enough to pre-order will secure the Night & White Pack, which includes two costume sets — Night Spectre and White Spectre — as well as the Vermillion War Club axe and the Glistening Red Mercury Skill Upgrade.

If, when you hear ‘Lost Soul Aside’, your ears prick up and something akin to a pinging sound rings in the back of your mind, I wouldn’t blame you. Originally announced all the way back in 2016(!), with development kicking off two years prior, Lost Soul Aside has for the longest time been a labour […]

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 34th birthday of Super Mario Bros. 3, the pinnacle of the NES' library. My most vivid memory of this is sitting in a HOYTS movie theatre and getting my mind blown during its unveiling in the climactic tournament of The Wizard (think: a 100 min Nintendo infomercial). Two years of tortuous waiting later...
