GoldenEye hive, it’s time to rise up — because IO Interactive is officially bringing its upcoming James Bond game to the Nintendo Switch 2.
According to IO Interactive’s website, Project 007 will focus on an entirely new story in the Bond universe.
“Players will step into the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status in the very first James Bond origin story,” the developer said about what to expect for the game’s story.
Head of IO Hakan Abrak opened up to IGN about building a brand new origin story for the beloved spy back in October. “What's exciting about that project is that we actually got to do an original story. So it's not a gamification of a movie,” he told IGN.
“It's completely beginning and...

Microsoft has unveiled a list of Xbox Game Pass titles set to join the service in the first half of April 2025, revealing a strong lineup of first- and third-party games, including South of Midnight, Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition, and more.
It’s a remarkably strong month that was detailed in a recent Xbox Wire post. Expect major hitters to start dropping in tomorrow, April 3, kicking off the month with Gearbox Software’s Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC) for all tiers, while All You Need Is Help (Console), Still Wakes the Deep (Xbox Series X | S), and Wargroove 2 (Console) all join Game Pass Standard. There’s more than enough in this first block to keep even the...
Fortnite is getting a special Nintendo Switch 2 port that should keep those pesky technical issues from keeping players from a win, and the internet is already celebrating its potential.
Epic Games’ trend-setting battle royale showed up during a sizzle reel during today’s Switch 2 Direct to confirm that a new version is in development. What’s more is that it’s planned to launch day and date with Nintendo’s new hybrid console this June, meaning you’ll be able to check out all of the fancy new upgrades (whatever they may be) as soon as you unbox your Switch 2.
Fortnite fans have long complained that the Switch version of Fortnite has too many technical issues, keeping them from enjoying the massively popular free-to-play game on one of...
Nintendo has confirmed which OG Nintendo Switch games will have issues running on the new Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches on June 5, 2025.
In lists published to the official Nintendo website, the company has revealed which games have "start up issues" on Nintendo Switch 2, and which games can start up but have "some in-game compatibility issues."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's very little detail at this stage about each individual game's issue — most games simply say the problem is "being investigated" — but while it's to be expected that some games may struggle to make use of Switch 2's new hardware features, the list does include some surprising titles, including Rocket League, Pizza Tower, Warframe, Fall Guys, and NBA 2K25...
Following the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the launch lineup for the much-anticipated follow-up to 2017's Switch is starting to take shape and it's an exciting one. From Mario Kart World to enhanced versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom to Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy, there clearly won't be a lack of things to play on June 5, 2025.
We've already found over 20 games headed to Nintendo Switch 2 at launch, and that's not including the backward-compatible Switch 1 games (even though some may have some start-up issues) and titles already a part of Nintendo Switch Online. And yes, we will continue to add to this list as more are revealed.
Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Line-up So Far
Mario Kart World...
The globe-trotting World of Assassination trilogy of IO Interactive's Hitman series is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 as Hitman World of Assassination - Signature Edition. And alongside arriving in the Switch 2 launch window, Agent 47 will also be donning some new, appropriately Nintendo-themed duds.
On IO Interactive's site, the developer confirmed Hitman World of Assassination - Signature Edition will go up for pre-order soon, for both digital and physical editions. A pre-order of the digital edition will get you the Signature Pack, which includes two red-and-white outfits for Agent 47, a golden wrench, and a mushroom. Mushroom effects unknown at this time.
Physical pre-orders, meanwhile, offer both the Signature Pack and the Quack...
Team Cherry showed up for a few seconds of today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct to reveal that its long-awaited follow-up, Hollow Knight: Silksong, has nailed down a 2025 release window.
It showed up for the hardware-focused presentation for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment that included little more than a few seconds of new gameplay and confirmation of Team Cherry’s updated launch plans. It’s far from a release date and could absolutely be pushed, but for now, it’s the most promising update for Hollow Knight: Silksong we’ve gotten in years.
Originally confirmed for just Nintendo Switch and PC, with Xbox (and Game Pass) and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions being added later, Team Cherry has been slowly ramping up the...
Toby Fox has been a busy guy. During today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the small white dog dev showed the first full trailer for Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4, revealing that chapters 3 and 4 will launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5.
Deltarune's first two chapters are mysterious little RPGs following a character named Kris through their adventures in a "Dark World" with their classmate Suzie and a prince named Ralsei. They borrow a number of characters and themes from Fox's previous work, Undertale, but thus far it's been unclear if there's any relationship between the two stories.
Deltarune has thus far been released chapter by chapter, with chapter 1 coming out on Halloween 2018, and Chapter 2 debuting in September of...
Elden Ring is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo revealed the somewhat unsurprising but still thrilling news today during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. It's currently unclear how the Switch 2 version of FromSoftware's open-world masterpiece will stack up against versions that launched on other platforms previously, but its presence during today's presentation promises to bring the unforgettable experience to Nintendo fans sometime this year.
Elden Ring has proven somewhat of a cultural phenomenon since it was released in February of 2022, selling over 13 million copies in a month and nearly 29 million at last count, seeing bosses beaten using the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller, and setting off wildly ambitious speedrunning...
A video purportedly taken from the next iteration of The Sims has popped up online, and fans have expressed their concern about what it may mean for the much-loved series.
Project Rene - the codename sometimes used interchangeably with The Sims 5, although EA maintains Project Rene is, in fact, a spin-off project - has been bubbling around for a few years now, but early access footage from a game entitled "City Life Game With Friends" has many players thinking that this could well be the next Sims game.
The video itself is a full 20 minutes long and shows the player clicking through text prompts to select their outfit, hair, watch, activities, and so on. He then spawns into a sunlit Plaza de Poupon where he buys some food and mingles...
The Tekken 8 community has reacted in anger after the Season 2 update changed the game in a number of controversial ways.
Patch notes revealed an across-the-board buff to character damage potential and offensive pressure, which has caused some within the community to complain that Tekken 8 has strayed too far from the classic Tekken experience.
Pro Tekken player JoKa said the Season 2 update means “this does not feel like Tekken AT ALL.”
“Characters getting buffed even in the slightest is not the way along with more stance-based transitions where 50/50 situations are enhanced. Some of the new moves added are insane with little to no counterplay. Characters getting their weaknesses patched and identities being removed by...
April 1 has been and gone, and so has the video game industry’s penchant for April Fool’s Day gags for another year. But the one the people behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 came up may perhaps live a little longer in the memory.
Yesterday, Space Marine 2 publisher Focus Entertainment declared that the new Chaplain class would be released as DLC on April 1.
“In story mode, swap out Titus for The Chaplain and experience the game as a true Codex-compliant Ultramarine,” Focus said, no doubt sniggering from behind their monitors.
This ‘DLC’ supposedly added the new playable character to the story mode, as well as an ‘Enhanced Dialogue System’ that would have the Chaplain, every five minutes, remind everyone around him that “the...
Given the potential release of GTA VI and the possibilities presented by Nintendo's Switch 2 launch lineup, 2025 could go down as the decade's most memorable year in gaming. Even without those juggernauts, games like Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows have already set the tone for what should be another great year for new games.
Through the first quarter of the year, 18 games have earned a spot on this list, which compiles every game and expansion released in 2025 that received a review score of 8 or higher from IGN. These are IGN's best video games of 2025.
This list will be updated as new releases receive qualifying review scores.
Review Score: 8 (“Great”)
These games leave us with something outstanding to remember...

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have revealed another Nightfarer making their way into Elden Ring Nightreign. The bow-wielding Ironeye will be one of the playable characters in the co-op action game, and they're bringing some pretty hefty weaponry to Limveld.
The core of Ironeye's kit is, as you might expect, dealing damage from afar with ranged attacks. The Ironeye starts with a bow and specializes in Dexterity-based weaponry, so they're able to add some extra damage to any team that needs some long-range support.
Bows are especially useful in Elden Ring Nightreign, as they offer the ability to revive a downed party member from a distance rather than up-close. Given some of the up-close combat footage we see in today's trailer, below...
It honestly shocks me that there aren’t more heist games, because I can think of few experiences more awesome than carrying out my boyhood lawbreaking fantasies with the lads. Thankfully, after more than a decade away from the glamor and gunpowder of criminal activity, a group of familiar faces behind Payday: The Heist and Payday 2 have taken a break from making the insanely difficult co-op shooter GTFO to go back to what they do best. And that is, make games where you and your friends work together to break the law by pulling off a series of elaborate and high-risk burglaries for no other reason than to satisfy your wanton greed. But where the Payday series was and continues to be a fairly standard game about robbing banks, the...
Atomfall looks like a hit, with 1.5 million players reached and, ahem, 300,000 cups of tea drank.
Rebellion’s brand new IP set in the north of England is the company’s most successful launch in its 32-year history, it said. Rebellion is the developer behind the popular Sniper Elite series of games, as well as the spin-off Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army entries.
Here's the official blurb:
“We are delighted that so many players are enjoying Atomfall,” said Jason Kingsley CBE, CEO and co-founder of Rebellion.
“To have surpassed the 1 million players in such a short space of time speaks volumes for the creativity and dedication of the entire team here at Rebellion. Our size and stability mean that we can take risks to create something...
New life-sim game inZOI has some of the most robust and realistic character creation tools we're yet to see in a game. So, naturally, the first thing players decide to do when getting their hands on such technology is recreate their favourite pop stars and frankly terrifying childhood nightmare hauntees.
We've collected over 30 of our favourites (some legitimately impressive) for you to take a peek at here. From an almost lifelike Billie Eilish and an advanced look at GTA 6's Lucia to the sexiest (?) of all Squidwards we've got you covered. Below is a slideshow if you want to take a look for yourself, or at the top of the page is a video if you want to spend over 40 minutes watching us react and rank them. I recommend it!

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater includes the suggestive and sexual content in Metal Gear Solid 3, including the Peep Demo Theatre, according to an age rating.
While developer Konami has not formally confirmed that the controversial content has been retained, the U.S. classification board the ESRB has rated the stealth action game as Mature 17+ due to its realistic gunfire, cried of pain, bloody combat, and "suggestive/sexual content."
As well as detailing the game's realistic combat and violence, the ESRB reports: "Cutscenes depict further instances of violence/blood: a restrained character beaten and electrocuted; a character shot in the eye; a character on fire shot several times.
"The game contains some suggestive/sexual...
Schedule I continues to receive post-launch updates following its overnight viral success on Steam. The latest is Patch 5, which brings the drug dealer sim up to version 0.3.3f14.
While Patch 5 makes a number of important improvements to the game, of most interest to its many players is the developer’s note that Schedule I’s first content update is set to launch this weekend.

With the launch of Season 3 this week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone get a significant change that some within the PC community have said could hit their matchmaking queue times.
Activision published the Season 3 patch notes and with it confirmed a big change coming to regular Multiplayer. It’s separating the Multiplayer Ranked Play and Call of Duty: Warzone Ranked Play settings and adding a new Multiplayer-only setting for Quickplay, Featured, and Party Games matches.
Each of these three settings (Multiplayer Ranked Play, Call of Duty: Warzone Ranked Play, and Multiplayer Unranked) will include the following crossplay options when Season 3 goes live on April 4:

Wizards of the Coast has issued a DMCA takedown notice on a fan mod of Stardew Valley that adds Baldur's Gate 3 characters, despite the mod previously having been publicly praised by Larian Studios CEO Sven Winke. And now, Winke has responded to the takedown as well.
As reported by PC Gamer, the mod in question is entitled "Baldur's Village" and incorporates Baldur's Gate 3 characters into Stardew Valley. The mod released earlier this month, and shortly after, Winke took to Twitter to praise it, saying "So much love went into this - amazing work!"
Unfortunately, just weeks later, the mod is gone. According to a Nexus Mods spokesperson speaking t PC Gamer, Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur's Gate IP holder Wizards of the Coast has issued a...
Monster Hunter Wilds is laying out its future roadmap. Alongside its planned Title Updates, director Yuya Tokuda has confirmed a few additional goals the team has, as post-launch support for the latest entry in the Monter Hunter franchise carries on.
In a letter from the director, Tokuda started by laying out the roadmap seen in the recent Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase for Title Update 1 and beyond. The first big Title Update drops on April 4, this Friday. Then, the seasonal event Festival of Accord: Blossomdance runs from April 23 through May 7.

Today, Jagex has announced that it's bringing the world of RuneScape into a new genre: survival. The developer revealed RuneScape: Dragonwilds, a cooperative open world survival game coming to early access this spring.
Dragonwilds takes place in Ashenfall, a new continent within the RuneScape universe, where one to four players can work together to learn new skills, build camps, grow stronger, and survive against powerful enemies, including lots and lots of dragons. Ashenfall has two regions, with five unique biomes, and the potential for more to be added later post-launch. Though Ashenfall is not the same continent most of RuneScape proper takes place on, RuneScape fans will find a lot of familiarity in the world, including some...
Well, never say Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Studios doesn't have a dark sense of nostalgia. One year removed from the infamous in-game liberation of Malevelon Creek, Helldivers 2 is sending its players back to the planet to hold it against surging Automaton forces.
After a recent Major Order failure, players were worried about a return to the Creek, as reports indicated the Automatons — pushing forward with their fiery new Incineration Corps — were targeting the Severin Sector. The sector, and Malevelon Creek in particular, was the center of one of Helldivers 2's earliest and most notable collective moments in the game. Helldivers converged on the planet to try and keep the Creek under Super Earth control.
The combination of...
If you’ve been on Steam, Twitch, or gaming YouTube lately, you’ve probably seen Schedule I. It’s an indie drug dealer sim that’s currently the top-selling game on Valve’s platform, with more players than big hitters such as Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 5, and Marvel Rivals after going viral across social media.
Schedule I launched last week and quickly made its way to the upper echelons of Valve’s best-selling and most-played charts. Here’s the official blurb:
It’s developed and published by TVGS, aka Tyler, who took to reddit recently to sum up Schedule I’s explosive launch.
“Honestly it’s amazing but pretty overwhelming,” Tyler said. “I never expected this kind of response! At the moment I’m just trying to stay focussed and get...
The last thing I expected Doom: The Dark Ages to remind me of was Halo 3. And yet, half way through a recent hands-on demo with id Software’s gothic prequel, I was mounted on the back of a cyborg dragon and unleashing a salvo of machinegun fire across the side of a demonic battle barge. With the vessel’s defensive turrets destroyed, I landed my beast atop the ship and proceeded to charge through its lower decks, turning the entire crew into a few gallons of red slop. Seconds later, the warmachine was toast and I burst through its hull, leaping onto my dragon to continue my crusade against the machines of Hell.
Those familiar with Bungie’s landmark Xbox 360 shooter will instantly recognise the shape of Master Chief’s assault on the...

Developer Pocketpair has announced Palworld! More Than Just Pals, a dating sim set in its massively popular monster-catching universe — and no, it’s not an April Fools’ Day joke (this time).
The team behind 2024’s Pokémon-like survival experience revealed its plans to inject a bit of romance into its catalog today, March 31. It’s an announcement that, on any other day of the year, fans would accept without question. However, April Fools’ Day gags, fake games, and more strange announcements from game developers will surely flood the internet as soon as the new month rolls in tomorrow, so most fans are already taking Palworld! More Than Just Pals with a grain of salt.
Pocketpair wants to be clear for the non-believers: Palworld! More...
