One of 2026's biggest RPGs has just received its first major discount at Amazon, with The Blood of Dawnwalker now available for $59.49 on PS5 and Xbox as part of the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days sale.
That's more than $10 off its $69.99 list price, making this the first significant price drop we've seen for the vampire RPG since its launch. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is running from October 6-7, so you'll need to act before the promotion wraps up if you want to take advantage of the offer.

The corpse of Dead Space is being reinimated for Battlefield 6, with the latest trailer for Season 5 seemingly teasing a crossover.
Battlefield 6’s new trailer shows off a new Las Vegas map that looks like a lot of fun, as choppers and machine guns tear up casinos and skyscrapers along The Strip. But then the music fades out, ominous sounds creep in, and it cuts to a bloom-filled scene where two Dead Space engineers stare up at The Marker, the survival horror series’ alien artifact that drills into your brain.
Earlier this year, series writer Chuck Beaver claimed sales were too low for EA to greenlight a Dead Space 4. Series co-creator and developer of The Callisto Protocol, Glen Schofield, also retired from the industry this year...
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Day sale, which is essentially just an October version of Prime Day, is now live. I’m happy to report there are plenty of Nintendo deals in the bunch. Well, sort of.
We aren’t seeing too many discounts on first-party Nintendo games, which makes sense coming out of Nintendo’s surprisingly generous “Customer Appreciation” sale. Still, there are some sneaky Pokemon discounts in the mix, alongside plenty of new Switch 2 editions getting their first price drops of the year.
If you want to bulk up your physical Switch 2 library (who doesn’t love that box art?), here's what we'd recommend grabbing in the sale.
Nintendo Switch 2 Games on Sale for Prime Big Deal Day
Note: Most of these deals are exclusive to Prime...
Forza Horizon 6 developer Playground Games has finally addressed its player community after months of constructive feedback about the game has been met with nothing but radio silence from the renowned British studio.
"Hey Horizon Community," the post on the studio's social channels begins, "We're reading all your comments about Forza Horizon 6, and we realize that we haven't been talking with you as much as we could be. While we continue to deliver regular content and fixes into the game, we want you to know we hear your feedback about our post-launch updates and we're looking into future changes to both in-game content and the ways we communicate with you. Stay tuned!"
Forza Horizon 6 got rave reviews upon its release – including a...
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is off and running (through tomorrow, October 7), and there are already quite a few video game deals we've found that are worth looking into.
That's especially true for Final Fantasy fans, as a selection of games have received some mighty impressive discounts as part of the sale for Prime members, with some titles up to 50% off, no less.
PSA: You'll Need an Amazon Prime Membership!
If you don't have an annual Prime membership, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial if you're new, or $15 for one month if you've been a past member.
If you're a student, Amazon is giving you a break as well, as students and anyone under the age of 24 can get a 6-month trial at zero cost, and then 50% off the annual...
According to the boss of former Microsoft-owned Undead Labs, State of Decay 3 was revealed early because of concern that the studio might have got "swallowed up or divested before we had a chance to present to the world what we were working on."
The comments came in an interview with The Game Business, during which Holt admitted that while a small team was working on the game in 2020, development didn’t pick up until 2023.
State of Decay 3 was revealed during an Xbox showcase six years ago, in 2020, two years after the release of State of Decay 2. The zombie series features a simulated apocalypse where players have to manage food, resources, and the moods of their people while avoiding having their faces bitten off by the undead...
Here’s something you might not know: the video game streaming service Amazon Luna has a bunch of games that are free to play for Amazon Prime members. Out today and just added to the Luna lineup is Star Wars: Galactic Racers. Prime members can play it here for no additional cost. If you’re not a Prime member, you can sign up here to play it – and also shop Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale, which runs through October 7.

Warhammer Survivors, the upcoming roguelite bullet heaven from Warhammer 40,000's Auroch Digital in partnership with Vampire Survivors' poncle, will be released on November 10, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PC, and mobile.
Warhammer Survivors launches priced $7.99 / £6.39 / €7.49 with a 10% launch and preorder discount available on select platforms. If you have Xbox Game Pass, you'll be able to play it at no extra charge on day one.
Warhammer Survivors brings together two campaigns and over 40 playable characters from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, and that's in addition to over 75 weapons and more than 15 stages.
I want to spend a moment on the weapons, because there are not...
There are few things more rewarding than the tide turning in your favor in Vampire Survivors. Starting as a weak soldier with one small attack and a fear of even the smallest foe, you soon become a literal weapon of mass destruction and turn a bullet hell of enemies into your own personal bullet heaven.
And you know what can make that feeling even better? Doing it with some trusty allies from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes while using weapons pulled not just from the lore, but those inspired by how we engage with the tabletop game. Yes, we’re talking about the very dice we roll and paint we use to bring our miniatures to life. That, my friends, is Warhammer Survivors.

Artstorm, developer of PvP naval warfare game Modern Warships, has admitted to using an independent artist’s creation as the basis for one of its ship designs. The plagiarism came to light yesterday when concept artist Alex Jay Brady posted the similarities between their creation and the ship model in-game.
Brady’s art, a design for an atomic ekranoplan carrier vessel, was shown side-by-side against the in-game model in Modern Warships, called the RF Bartini A-2000-7. Even a casual onlooker could see the similarities.
IGN reached out to Brady for more information. “For me the design is the same, with a few minor differences,” Brady said. “The location of the AWACs dish (and there being two, which I assume has something to do with...
As development on Dawn of War 4 gathers pace like the Waaagh! of a planet-cracking Ork stampede, we’re getting a better sense of exactly how the real-time strategy Warhammer 40,000 game will play. King Art Games has already published numerous gameplay videos showing off competitive multiplayer, which will be an important part of the game, but how, exactly, will the Space Marines work?
You know the Space Marines, right? The poster boys of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 tabletop are more often than not the stars of the show when it comes to video game adaptations. From the Ultramarines to the Space Wolves, the Space Marines have been leading the Warhammer 40,000 video game charge from day one. Indeed, the Dawn of War series' Blood...
Whether you’re revving your Lancer for the very first time or returning to the battlefield after years away, the Gears of War timeline can get a bit chaotic. Between mainline entries, tactical spin-offs, and prequel campaigns, keeping track of the COG, the Locust Horde, and the Swarm isn’t easy.
With the launch of Gears of War: E-Day taking us back to where the nightmare began, there has never been a better time to experience Sera’s tragic history in true chronological order.
Here is your ultimate canonical story guide to playing every Gears of War game from E-Day to the modern era.

Grand Theft Auto 5 was made playable in a browser before it was pulled offline, amid an explosion of AI-fueled games across the internet.
Footage of GTA 5 running in a browser spread via social media yesterday, though the game's website is now offline — with reports that hosting service Cloudflare stepped in to intervene.
This latest development follows last week's cease and desist sent by Bethesda to block the AI-generated Fallout: New York fan project, which was also made playable via a PC browser. That game had been built by Claude Opus 5.5, and it seems likely that the PC build of GTA 5 was compiled similarly.
Last week, IGN reported on the original Xbox version of Halo: Combat Evolved, which was made available to play in a...
Ubisoft will attempt to relaunch Watch Dogs: Legion next year via a revamped Director's Cut, it's been reported.
Legion launched back in 2020 to a somewhat tepid reaction, and the once-promising franchise has subsequently been rested, with no all-new game believed to be in development. But there is a push to do more with Legion early next year, Insider Gaming has reported — something that IGN has also heard through its own sources.
Watch Dogs: Legion divided fans by ditching the series' single-protagonist focus, and instead allowing you to play as any NPC from its virtual recreation of post-Brexit London. In practice, though, that meant playing as one of various archetypes (builder, hooligan, spy) who could be killed off if you failed...
Following the launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved, Halo Studios has put out a blog post detailing plans for the future of Master Chief’s story. It’s an interesting look at where the series might have gone, prior to the recent announcement that Activision is now the shepherd of the Halo series.
The next Halo game was reportedly still years away, but the blog post, penned by Halo franchise writer Alex Wakeford, gives us a peek behind the curtain with hints about the studio’s plans, but also an attempt at canonizing a story that’s been told through games, remakes, books, and TV. You can check out the blog post for its list of retcons and continuity clarifications.
While the majority of the blog was written prior to the Xbox reshuffle, when...
Don't hold your breath for a new Watch Dogs game anytime soon.
As reported by Game File, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked by an investor about the future of the Watch Dogs franchise. The CEO noted that Ubisoft considers the IP "to be an important brand for the future" but neglected to explain how. Game File's Stephen Totilo stated that Guillemot suggested that there are no Watch Dogs games in active development at the moment, which suggests Ubisoft may still be figuring out where to take the series from here.
There is a Watch Dogs movie on the horizon, but there's no word on when it will be released. The film wrapped production two years ago and had reshoots last year, but there hasn't been any sort of meaningful promotion for the...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's ambitious new extraction mode, DMZ, has received a massive deep dive from Infinity Ward.
DMZ was initially introduced in 2022's Modern Warfare II, and now, with the rise in popularity of extraction shooters, it is coming back in a bigger way. The mode is expected to be a major part of Modern Warfare 4's offerings, with its own 70-level progression system, lucrative rewards, and world building/lore. Additionally, there will be a forward operating base for players to hang out in between matches. Here, players can practice at a firing range to test their loadouts, craft items based on loot they've found in the world, gain intel and track different missions, bosses, and unique challenges for their next...
New Final Fantasy 7 Revelation footage has revealed a hot springs feature that boosts the party's health and gives them a set of new bathing suit skins.
Half the fun of Square Enix's remake trilogy is allowing Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and the rest of the party to have some fun on their way to stop Sephiroth once and for all. In Rebirth, that meant spending a day at the beach, and in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, players will be able to kick their feet up, mingle, and, for some reason, balance rubber Chocobos at a collection of new hot springs.
The publisher unveiled the new gameplay feature as part of SDCC Málaga and later shared gameplay footage on social media. When the group stops at a hot spring, they'll benefit from a permanent...
Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio co-founder Martin Klima is "bored and tired" of RPGs that are just "power fantasy" trips "for teenagers."
The Warhorse Studios developer shared his thoughts about his least favorite kind of RPG during an interview with PC Gamer. Kingdom Come: Deliverance has received praise for straying from the beaten path in the past, and Klima's comments suggest that's no accident.
He admitted that the role-playing genre is one he enjoys. What he doesn't enjoy are the RPGs that set the player up to be "the chosen one" with a "grand task of saving the universe." It's a straightforward set-up that he's "bored and tired" of seeing, calling these kinds of experiences "repetitive."
"It's really a distillation of what...
While Gears of War: E-Day is a beautiful game, it's incredibly demanding, whether you're playing it on the Xbox Series X or on PC. But, The Coalition was able to work some magic on the Xbox Series S by tapping into the SSD to increase performance.
The Coalition's studio technical director Kate Raynor talked to Digital Foundry and described tapping into the SSD while the Series S was out of memory. That's important for a game as demanding as Gears of War: E-Day, as the Xbox Series S only has 10GB of RAM, rather than the 16GB on the Series X.
Offloading data from the RAM to an SSD is nothing new. Your computer does it all the time when you run out of memory. What happens then is that the computer relies on the Page File, a dedicated...
Solid Snake's Japanese voice and motion capture actor is keen to return for a new game, though feels conflicted about any fresh entry without the involvement of creator Hideo Kojima.
In an interview with Bunshun (translated by IGN), Snake actor Akio Otsuka reminisced about his deep attachment to the Metal Gear series and keen desire for Konami to make another entry — which may come as a surprise for Japanese fans of the series. Famously, Otsuka previously said he wouldn’t make a new game sans Kojima — a quote that spread around the franchise's Japanese fandom after the Konami/Kojima split.
Reflecting on that and his bond with the series' creator, Otsuka said: "My job as a voice actor is to do what I’m told. But when it comes to the...
Magic: The Gathering booster packs have gone through a lot of changes in the last decade, some of which have been awful. But Wizards of the Coast are introducing 'God Packs' to MTG, which could feel like winning the lottery.
Everyone who plays TCGs knows the rush you get when you open a booster with a better spread of rares and mythics than usual. Right now, in a Play Booster, that usually means getting between two and four rares and mythics, and it feels incredible when it happens. But in a blog post, Wizards is taking that feeling a step further by announcing 'God Packs,' which will be entirely comprised of rares and mythics.
Both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters will have a chance to be a god pack, with Collector Boosters...
Hollywood is mining Arc Raiders and The Finals for its next big video game adaptations, as the two franchises will be turned into films and TV shows.
Per Variety, Nexon, the parent company of developer Embark Studios, will team up with a production company known as Chernin Entertainment to develop adaptations of Arc Raiders and The Finals. As of right now, it sounds like the teams are exploring all possible options, which include TV shows and films. This will be done to help expand the worlds of these games that "reward the passion" of the players, according to Nexon.
“ARC Raiders and The Finals are exactly the kind of opportunities we’ve been building towards at Chernin Entertainment: ambitious global IP with the potential to become...
NBA 2K25 Is Getting Delisted After Just 2 Years, and Single Player Story Mode Will Become Unplayable
NBA 2K25 is being delisted after just two years, and players will soon no longer be able to play the game's single player story mode.
Launched back in September 2024, NBA 2K25 is the latest NBA game that is being pulled from digital stores. 2K will be pulling the game from purchase starting on October 30, 2026. Additionally, online servers will be shut down on January 1, 2027. As a result, the game's multiplayer modes and MyCareer, the game's single-player story mode, will become unplayable. MyCareer is linked to the game's online capabilities, as progression and the game's virtual currency are all dependent on a connection to the servers. If there are no servers, the mode becomes unplayable.
Those who purchase NBA 2K25 before October...
Fortnite has quietly replaced a piece of in-game artwork after fans spotted its original version contained a Google Gemini AI watermark.
Epic Games added the music track "Meow" by Ironmouse, Sleeping Forest & HalaCG to Fortnite last month, with the telltale Gemini watermark in the track artwork's bottom right corner. This lay mostly unnoticed until last weekend, when its wider discovery prompted something of a minor kerfuffle on social media and Reddit.
As of this morning, however, this artwork has been replaced with an alternate version (with no Gemini watermark). But after closer inspection, it's worth pointing out that the Gemini usage was present in the track list's original art that Epic Games simply incorporated in-game. Go...
One of my favorite games of this year, Resident Evil Requiem, has been discounted to $50 at Amazon across PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X ahead of the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days sale. Not only does this mark a new low price for the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X (and a return to its lowest price on Switch 2), but it's also cheaper than where we saw it during June's Prime Day sale event earlier this year. That's an awesome savings surprise.
Unlike the previous deal, this one isn't exclusive to Prime members. So, if you're not signed up, you can take advantage of these discounts for each platform while they're still available on Amazon.

Diablo 2 is already a game you could lose thousands of hours to, but what if you could truly lose yourself in the world via VR? Well, a modder found a way to translate the isometric ARPG to a first-person VR game.
Reddit user fantasticauthor2736 created the mod, using an existing 3D conversion mod, FlatVR and BodyWalk. While the mod itself hasn't been published quite yet, there are a few videos of it in action, and while it doesn't look like a fully polished VR game yet, it does seem like a cool way to play the game.
All of the videos posted so far, though, have been in the first couple zones of Diablo 2, and while they haven't shown any particularly intense combat so far, it's easy to see how it works in theory. You just point your...
Last month, Xbox announced its intention to close Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, after two deals to save the company didn’t pan out. Now we’re starting to see the consequences of that decision as people at the studio post on job site LinkedIn, spotted by journalist Chris Kerr.
“I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this because Ninja Theory was never just a job to me,” gameplay programmer Katrin Mair said. “After four years, it’s hard to put into words how much this place and the people in it have meant to me.
“What I’ll remember most is how much people cared. About the work, about the details, and about each other. I feel very lucky that this was the place where I got to start my career and grow into the programmer I am...
Star Wars Zero Company, one of our favorite games of the year so far, has just received its first big discount since its launch in late August. Ahead of the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days sale, which starts up tomorrow, Amazon has slashed 20% off both PS5 and Xbox Series X physical copies of the game, dropping them down to $47.97 and $47.99, respectively.
That saves you $12 (or just over, if you opt for the PS5 copy) compared to paying full price, which isn't bad at all. Considering this marks a new all-time low price for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions at the retailer, it's a great time to grab them. Plus, they're not marked as Early Prime Deals, either, so you don't have to be a Prime member to save on them.

Mighty Mike Plays dad Dave has promised refunds and issued a lengthy explanation after the internet demanded more information about the YouTube ads allegedly purchased by his son and the drama that followed.
The Mighty Mike Plays saga began when a father took to YouTube to announce that his son had allegedly used his company credit card to purchase more than $118,000 in video ads. It was a painful and highly relatable story that snowballed into a full-fledged internet spectacle when pricey AI-generated T-shirts and questionable details led many online to look for concrete answers.
The controversial father figure came clean in a new video titled "Allow me to Explain" that was uploaded to the Mighty Mike Plays channel last week (via...
