2026 really is the year of unexpected comic book crossovers. After recently learning about Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World's Weirdest and Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars, now we know that the G.I. Joe and Tomb Raider franchises are gearing up for a big crossover.
Technically, that crossover is already underway, as Lara Croft just made a surprise appearance in the pages of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #330. That appearance sets the stage for a bigger crossover in the form of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero/Tomb Raider. This five-issue limited series launches in October 2026.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for an early look at G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero/Tomb Raider #1:

More than eight years on from its official announcement, The Elder Scrolls 6 is still at least two more years from release.
That's according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, speaking last night during a live Q&A discussing this week's dramatic changes at Xbox which have seen 1,600 staff made redundant and at least four studios cut from the company's roster. A further 1,600 job losses are currently planned over the course of this year.
Doom developer id Software was gutted, as was ZeniMax Online Studios, developer of The Elder Scrolls Online. In an email to Bethesda staff sent following the announcement of the cuts, Bethesda boss Jill Braff said the company will now double down on its "strongest franchises," which suggests the...
On paper, Echoes of Aincrad is the Sword Art Online game you've been waiting for if you loved the anime. It takes place during the Aincrad arc, the very first one in the series, which is easily the most memorable and iconic. As your own created character, you get to experience Aincrad without having to retread the path of series protagonist Kirito. He also doesn’t have a huge role in the story, allowing Echoes of Aincrad to carve out its own identity with a brand new cast of characters in a single-player action-RPG.
But even when being mostly free from the confines of Kirito’s presence, it still feels constrained by the anime’s established lore. And unfortunately, the semi-open world structure is too bare and slows down the story’s...
Bungie has given Destiny 2 one last surprise as a farewell gift and revealed its limited support plans for the game.
The official X / Twitter page for Destiny 2 news and updates dropped a code for a new item: an emblem of the Destiny logo. Players can redeem it on Bungie's website and equip it in-game. It's not much, but it is a nice parting gift from Bungie.
Additionally, Bungie communications manager Dylan Gafner confirmed the team will continue to take Destiny 2 offline periodically for server maintenance and if an urgent situation calls for it, and they will be ready to fix major issues such as game crashes. Gafner added that Bungie will attempt to release fixes if it gets the opportunity. Beyond that, don't expect any notable...
The feline slacker, Garfield, along with his eternal love of lasagna and existential hatred of the start of the work week, is no stranger to video games. Whether that's games focusing on exploring his home for trinkets, taking on trivia and party challenges, or even having a go at kart-racing action, it seems like Garfield and friends have done it all. But where the upcoming Garfield: Escape from Monday tries something different is putting the slacker cat in a new action-platformer where he'll have to navigate a dream world loaded to the brim with his favorite foods, along with some unsavory ones to deal with.
We recently got some extended hands-on time with developer OSome Studio's upcoming Garfield platformer, which takes the titular...
Palworld developer Pocketpair has decided not to raise the price of the game for this week’s 1.0 launch. Instead, it will remain priced $29.99.
Palworld’s Early Access Steam page still says “The price of the game may increase at or closer to the official release,” as it has done so since early 2024. That led many to think Palworld would get more expensive when 1.0 launches on July 10.
However, Pocketpair has announced it’s sticking with $29.99 “as a small way of saying thank you.”
“After much thought, we have decided not to raise the price of Palworld following the 1.0 release and will keep it at $29.99,” Pocketpair said in a statement on social media. “We are incredibly proud of how far Palworld has come. Thanks to the amazing...
Ubisoft will soon announce a Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Crew Motorfest, including a physical release on a Game-Key Card.
That's according to Dealabs' ever-reliable billbil_kun, who reported that the open-world racer's Switch 2 edition is currently set to launch on October 8, priced at $49.99 / £44.99 / €44.99.
One aspect keeping that cost low may be its launch on a cheaper Game-Key Card cartridge, Nintendo's cheaper physical alternative that gives collector's something inside their game box but still requires you download the full game.
But there's also the fact that, by the time it arrives on Switch 2, the game will also be three years old. Originally released for PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, XBox One and Xbox Series X/S back in...
Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds will release the game’s Early Access 1.1 update today, July 8 — and no, it won’t let you kill fish.
In a new video, creative director Anthony Gallegos said the 1.1 update, dubbed Adaptive Measures, focuses on expanding the biomods system, adding new biolabs to the early game so you’ll be able to find and swap out more biomods as you play from the start. Later in the game you’ll be able to scan creatures and unlock more passive biomod slots, so can take multiple passive biomods at the same time.
Perhaps of most interest are improvements to creature flinches. Most of the creatures in the game now have good flinches, so if you hit them with the Survival Multitool you’ll get a reaction out of them...
Palworld has achieved an impressive player milestone 2.5 years after its early access launch and with the 1.0 release right around the corner.
Developer Pocketpair said Palworld had passed 40 million players, with 1.0 set for July 10 (we’ve got the global release times for Palworld’s 1.0 launch if you want to know when you can play).
That 40 million figure doesn't mean Palworld has sold 40 million copies. While it's an undoubted sales success, particularly on Steam, Palworld is also available on console subscription services. It's still on Game Pass, for example (Microsoft promoted the Palworld 1.0 launch as part of its July 2026 wave one Game Pass lineup announcement this week).
It’s been a rollercoaster Early Access period for...
If you’ve spent any time watching anime over the last decade, you’ve almost certainly heard someone mention Truck-kun. No, it’s not the name of an actual character. Instead, it’s one of anime’s longest-running jokes. Now, it’s finally inspired an entire video game.
That game is Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?!, a wonderfully ridiculous upcoming title from Strange Scaffold that fully embraces one of anime’s biggest memes. Even if you’ve never watched an isekai series before, here’s why Truck-kun has become such an internet legend.
What Is Truck-kun?
Truck-kun is the unofficial nickname anime fans have given to the mysterious delivery truck that appears whenever a protagonist is about to begin an isekai adventure.
In...
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag came out way back in 2013, and while the game was demanding for its time, PC gaming has come a long way in the last thirteen years or so. If Ubisoft simply released a remaster for the game, it’d likely be extremely easy to run, even on weaker hardware. But, instead, the game uses the same version of the Anvil Engine as last year’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and that game was absolutely gorgeous, even if it was hard to run on low-end hardware.
With Black Flag Resynced, though, Ubisoft seems to have widened the net of hardware that’ll be able to run the game well. Because where I wouldn’t even think about running Assassin's Creed Shadows on a handheld gaming PC, Black Flag Resynced has three whole presets...
Whenever a new Assassin’s Creed comes around, the conversation inevitably loops back to the same question: “Hey, remember the one with the pirates? That one was great.” Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is the last game my friends who lapsed on the series have played. It's the one whose hero, Edward Kenway, always sits high up on “Best of” lists. It’s the one that spawned two remarkable spin-offs and inspired a whole game that is just ship combat. Black Flag was a cultural moment, and Resynced isn't just a full remake of that juggernaut, but Ubisoft Singapore’s celebration of the original’s well earned reputation. With new graphics, revamped combat both in melee and on the high seas, and retooled exploration and stealth systems, its bigger...
Microsoft reportedly plans to make more of its best games console exclusive so people actually have a reason to buy an Xbox console.
New Xbox boss Asha Sharma has already begun this process, making The Coalition’s Gears of War: E-Day and inXile’s Clockwork Revolution available on Xbox Series X and S and PC only, skipping PlayStation 5 in the process.
But according to Bloomberg, Microsoft plans to return to exclusives in a more meaningful way. Big multiplayer games will continue to release across platforms, including PS5, Bloomberg said, but Microsoft “will make more of its best titles exclusive to Xbox so gamers have a reason to buy its console.”
This begs the question: what is considered among Xbox’s best titles, and thus will...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 might be missing a few modes and pieces of content when they're re-released for PS4 and PS5 later this month.
The trophy lists for both games have appeared online and, while they're largely identical to the original PS3 versions, there are a few differences. As pointed out by X user ForwardLeaks, several trophies around using the game's theater mode, League Play, and winning wager matches have been outright removed. Theater mode allowed players to watch replays of previous matches and move the camera around, which was useful for content creation during YouTube's infancy.
Wager matches, on the other hand, were a playlist that allowed players to gamble in-game currency on more unique game modes. These...
Minecraft's new update is getting a lot of praise for adding a simple, long-awaited feature: Players can now sit.
This game has been around for 20 years and players can create beautiful homes, deep mines, and thriving civilizations, but they couldn't sit down until now. They can sleep in cozy beds, but there was no place to rest their weary legs after a hard day of mining for diamonds or slaying monsters (with the exception of boats and mine carts).
The news was revealed as part of a deep dive into the game's upcoming update, which will also add things like straw beds, a new biome, and more. Players will be able to sit via a new cushion. The developers said that they can foresee players using these cushions in creative ways that...
EVE Vanguard, Fenris Creations' most recent attempt to bring on-the-ground FPS gameplay to the massive, shared, persistent universe of EVE Online, has changed quite a bit since I first laid hands on it last year. From the presentation to the basic movement and gunplay, it's becoming a lot clearer what exactly our disposable warclones will be doing on the wreckage-strewn surfaces of EVE's countless planets, and how that will translate back to Avalon, the station where our consciousness exists between missions.
I got a chance to play the latest build, which is launching today as Operation Avalon, in a closed playtest with a handful of devs and "VIPs," and talked to game director Scott Davis and creative lead Jamie Stanton about what's...
Polish developer Rebel Wolves has worn a confident face since it first revealed The Blood of Dawnwalker early last year. The blood-soaked reveal trailer featured a gorgeously grisly cutscene, an unmistakably Slavic score, and a snapshot of a sprawling medieval open world. Crafted by many of the minds behind The Witcher 3, including its director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, everything we’ve seen since has effectively proclaimed that this new vampire RPG intends to fight in the same league as CD Projekt Red’s best.
My recent visit to Rebel Wolves was something of a proving ground, then. Until now, all access to The Blood of Dawnwalker had been hands-off. But for this IGN First demonstration I’d be playing for four hours straight, beginning with...
Launch sales projections for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake look like a huge improvement on Assassin's Creed Shadows, the franchise's most recent release.
Steam pre-orders for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced are 5.39 times higher than those for Shadows, according to industry analyst Rhys Elliot of Alinea Analytics. Remarkably, this means Resynced has already beaten the lifetime sales of Skull & Bones, Ubisoft's costly, long-in-development pirate spinoff from Black Flag that eventually emerged in 2024.
Writing on Substack, Elliot stated that Resynced looked set to be a "much-needed hit for Ubisoft" following a mixed response to Shadows and a turbulent time at the publisher marked by regular layoffs and studio...
Hitman and 007: First Light developer IO Interactive will close one of its studios and lay off an unknown number of staff, after Xbox pulled funding for an upcoming project.
Codenamed Project Dragon, IO's under-wraps online fantasy RPG has been in development for years, partly funded by cash from Xbox. But now — with Microsoft laying off thousands of workers, offloading studios and scrapping various external partnerships — IO's game has also fallen victim to tightening purse strings.
While IO Interactive does not specifically name Xbox as its funding partner, it is widely understood that Microsoft had been partnered with IO on the project. The language used in IO's statement today is also sadly reminiscent of the similar statement...
San Diego Comic-Con is only weeks away, which means companies are starting to unveil the exclusive collectibles, figures, and other merch they'll be offering at this year's show.

There’s something wonderfully easy to love about LEGO video games. They take massive blockbuster movie moments, break them into bricks, add a healthy dose of slapstick humour, and somehow make saving the galaxy or escaping dinosaurs feel like the ultimate comfort gaming.
That’s the spirit behind our latest charity bundle: LEGO At The Movies. For a very limited time, this bundle brings together seven iconic LEGO movie adventures for PC – spanning Star Wars, Jurassic World, The Incredibles, NINJAGO, and The LEGO Movie – with staggering savings of up to 96% off the standard retail price.
Whether you’re hunting for a family-friendly co-op game, a massive hit of nostalgia, or just a weekend of cheerful collectathon chaos, this massive PC...
One of the most beloved entries in Ubisoft’s long-running Assassin’s Creed series is setting sail once again. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced brings the 2013 pirate classic roaring into 2026 with a full remake that aims to preserve the spirit of the original while adding a treasure chest full of modern improvements.
From the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced release date and PC specs to its pre-order bonus, Deluxe Edition, gameplay changes, and latest trailer, here’s everything you need to know before Edward Kenway returns to the high seas.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Release Date
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced launches on July 9, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. On PC, the game will be...
Microsoft has announced the July lineup of games for Game Pass in its first announcement following the layoffs that ripped through the Xbox business yesterday.
CEO Asha Sharma cut 1,600 staff from Xbox yesterday, with another 1,600 staff to go over the course of the next 12 months. Four studios have left Microsoft as part of the restructure, which Sharma called the “most significant in Xbox history.”
Explaining the cuts, Sharma admitted that Microsoft’s gaming strategy had failed, and a key part of that failure had to do with Game Pass. The Wall Street Journal said that Microsoft had expected Game Pass subscriptions to hit around 77 million this year, but it currently has only about 30 million. As revealed during the FTC vs Microsoft...
My first MMO was Ultima Online, and despite the fact that my computer could barely run it, UO kicked off a long love affair with the genre that included time with games like EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, The Matrix Online, City of Heroes, FFXI and FFXIV, World of WarCraft, and a lot more. But I never really got into the Korean aspect of the scene, so when I got the chance to see Aion 2 at Summer Game Fest, I was both interested and knew I had some learning to do. My time with Aion 2 wasn’t hands-on, but I got to sit down with several members of the Aion 2 team – including Chief Business Officer Seung-Uk Baek, Director of Operations Daniel Lafuente, Executive Publishing Producer Merv Lee Kwai, Publishing Producer Scott Choi, and Senior...
“We’re not here to talk about the past”, says VP & GM of Battlefield Studios Europe Rebecka Coutaz, on the occasion of Criterion’s 30th anniversary. Behind her on the wall is the studio’s new logo, which reads "Criterion: a Battlefield Studio". The message is pretty clear, then.
For the past decade, the Guildford-based studio that made its name in the racing space has been a collaborative partner on EA’s Battlefield series, first lending its expertise to 2016’s Battlefield 1 and later to Battlefields 5, 2042, and 6. When I ask whether the Burnout and Need For Speed developer’s newly established scope might include projects other than Battlefield, Coutaz is clear: “we are solely focused on Battlefield.”
It seems an odd way to mark the...
John Romero has commented on the layoffs that have impacted Microsoft-owned id Software as part of sweeping cuts to the Xbox business.
Yesterday, Microsoft gaming boss Asha Sharma announced the most “significant” restructure in Xbox history, with 1,600 staff let go immediately, and another 1,600 staff to follow over the course of the current financial year. As part of the restructure, four studios are leaving Xbox to new management, and one is now in consultation over its future.
ZeniMax Media, which operates Bethesda, was hit hard by the layoffs. ZeniMax Online Studios has suffered significant cuts, forcing the remaining developers of The Elder Scrolls Online to rethink future content. And id Software is also heavily affected. The...
Staff at Obsidian Entertainment are reportedly concerned about the studio’s future projects after it was hit hard by Microsoft’s Xbox layoffs.
Yesterday, Microsoft gaming boss Asha Sharma announced the most “significant” restructure in Xbox history, with 1,600 staff let go immediately, and another 1,600 staff to follow over the course of the current financial year. As part of the restructure, four studios are leaving Xbox to new management, and one is now in consultation over its future.
According to Kotaku, around 60-70 people were cut from Obsidian, which is the first-person role-playing game specialist behind Avowed, The Outer Worlds, Grounded, Pentiment, and, most famously, Fallout: New Vegas. Some of the staff who are leaving...
There’s no way around it, the Steam Machine is extremely expensive for the level of performance you get out of it. I still think that anyone who’s only looking to play games would probably be better served with a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, especially if you don’t already have a Steam library. In general, the Steam Machine performs very similarly to the PS5, even if it falls short in some of the games I’ve tested.
As a follow up to my review of the Steam Machine, I pulled up four games to test side-by-side with the PS5 in ‘Performance’ mode, which typically locks games to a solid 60 fps, to see exactly how well Valve's mini PC holds up.
And while there are certainly moments where Valve’s little cube falls on its face a bit, I’m still...
