Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is delayed by three weeks so the developers can add new content it hadn't planned for launch.
Gameplay Group International and PM Studios’ 1v1 2D fighting game based on the phenomenally popular animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, is priced $29.99, and will feature crossplay at launch. It’s described as being “rooted in the spirit of elemental mastery.” Its official blurb continues: “Designed for both newcomers and veterans, it channels the energy of classic fighting games while breaking new ground in movement, style, and combat expression. Built with a focus on fluidity, responsiveness, and online integrity, the game invites players to discover what it truly means to fight with purpose...

More and more folks seem to enjoy pitting themselves against the elder gods and other eldritch horrors these days, with releases like Saros and The Sinking City series all bringing some Lovecraftian mythos to your TV. Even the tabletop isn’t safe with the likes of the Arkham Horror card game bringing the cultists into your dining room. Recently, IGN had the chance to check out the latest of these adaptations, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu - a cooperative trek where keeping a hold of your sanity is only the start of your struggle. After traipsing through the jungle and second-guessing reality a couple of times, I’m eager to get back in and discover what secrets there are to discover, even if it may cost me my mind.

We finally have a release date for LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight on Nintendo Switch 2. The game will come to the Nintendo platform on September 18th, and you can pre-order it right now. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will have a standard edition (USD $69.99) and a deluxe edition (USD $89.99), the latter of which will give players extra digital content. Unlike the deluxe edition on the Xbox, PS5, and PC release, this won't include any kind of early access, so there's no need to shell out extra dollars to play the game sooner on Switch 2.
The deluxe edition will include the Legacy Collection DLC which includes new suits, vehicles, and Batcave items inspired by classic Batman media like the Arkham games and Batman Beyond. It will...
Future sequels to 007 First Light will be published by Amazon and MGM, not IO Interactive. In an interview with Polygon, Jeff Gattis, GM of gaming at Amazon, confirmed that Amazon Game Studios will handle publishing on future James Bond games.
"We did not [make First Light]," Gattis explained. "We do have a stake in it because we now own the IP, but that IP acquisition happened after the First Light IO deal was already done."
The deal Gattis is referring to is the one that allowed IO Interactive the power to self-publish 007 First Light, similar to Hitman 3. IO Interactive signed on to make Bond when the franchise was under control of MGM and EON Productions, the production company that managed the James Bond brand for decades...
If you've ever wanted to fight a games industry CEO, now you can. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick is now a playable character in WWE 2K26, meaning you can either play as him or fight him yourself. There hasn't been any kind of official acknowledgement of his inclusion; he was simply quietly added in a new update today. The 68-year-old gaming executive holds an in-game rating of 77, meaning he's probably not going to claim any titles himself, but Zelnick is reportedly very fit in real life.
The CEO claims he works out 10 to 12 times a week (that's an average of almost twice a day, for those who aren't mathmaticians) and runs his own private workout club known as The Program. He's even written his own wellness book, Becoming...
Control Resonant will have a two-day PS5-exclusive early access, leading to frustration from some fans.
Yesterday, Remedy Entertainment announced that Control Resonant, the sequel to one of the studio's most beloved games, will release on September 24. This should've been a moment of celebration, but unfortunately, it has since been overshadowed with news that Control Resonant will get 48-hours of early access through the game's digital deluxe edition, but this is only applicable to PS5. There will be no early access on Xbox or PC, as it appears the 48-hours of early access is tied to PlayStation's marketing agreement for the game.
Some fans have stated that they won't be pre-ordering the game or will wait to buy it when it's on sale...
PlayStation fans had plenty of exciting announcements to take in during June's State of Play. One of the bright spots was Rayman Legends Retold, which was officially announced alongside a release date of October 1 and news that preorders for it are now live.
If you can't wait to get your hands on it, we're here to help. Below, we've broken down which versions are available to preorder right now, how much they're listed for, and what they come with.
As of the time of this writing, there are PS5 and Switch 2 physical copies available to preorder for $39.99. Digital and PC copies for the standard edition are priced the same. There's also a digital only deluxe edition available to grab for slightly more at $49.99, which you can learn more...
We’ve known for years that the entire games industry would give Grand Theft Auto 6 the widest berth possible, but this week’s State of Play has proven Rockstar’s behemoth as some kind of car-jacking Moses, parting the Red Sea of releases and pushing tides of competition aside. As a result, it seems like almost the entire end-of-year slate of releases has been forced into a single month. GTA 6 has turned September into a video game battle royale, and it’s potentially going to be a bigger blood bath than anything we saw in the Wolverine trailer.
There are now five of what I’d consider “heavy hitters” wrestling for space in September. The Blood of Dawnwalker has a head start, launching on September 3, but this massive vampire RPG only has...
June's State of Play was packed with tons of exciting announcements, including news of Control Resonant's upcoming release date and the fact it's now available to preorder. What a treat for Remedy fans.
For those interested in securing a copy of Control Resonant ahead of its September 24 release, there are a few options to choose from. In terms of physical copies, there's a standard physical edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X that's available to preorder for $59.99. There's also a steelbook edition for PS5 and Xbox Series X available for $69.99.
Those interested in digital copies can choose between a digital deluxe edition, which is available to preorder for $69.99, and a standard copy for $59.99. Below, you can learn more about each...
Microsoft has confirmed the lineup of games coming to Xbox Game Pass during the first half of June, which is headlined by the arrival of Persona 5 Royal.
It's a much quieter start to the month following the arrival of Forza Horizon 6 on Xbox Game Pass in May, though who knows — more upcoming additions may be revealed this weekend when Microsoft takes the stage for its annual Xbox Games Showcase.
In the meantime, today's Xbox Wire blog lists a string of games for the coming weeks, including floating island survival game Solarpunk, boxing title Undisputed, and cozy life sim meets deckbuilding puppet adventure Beastro (not Balatro, as I initially read). Then there's co-op extraction puzzle-platformer Frog Sqwad and 3D action platformer...
The Stuntman Series Returns After Almost 20 Years, With Fast & Furious, Back to the Future, and More
Saber Interactive is resurrecting the long-dormant Stuntman series with Stuntman: Hollywood, which is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. What’s more is that it’s being injected with real movies and TV shows for the first time thanks to a partnership with Universal Pictures.
Present in the trailer were segments based on Fast & Furious, Back to the Future, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, and 2008’s Death Race. This first glimpse of Stuntman: Hollywood reveals it will feature a range of cars from these TV shows and films, from Brian O’Conner’s rides from The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious, to the armoured Mustang driven by Jason Statham’s character in Death Race. The massive tanker truck from the...
If you've heard about EVE Online in passing, it's probably something related to the massive player wars taking place out in the unrestricted PvP frontier of "Nullsec" space, where NPC empires and organizations hold no sway. But with the upcoming trilogy of expansions to the venerable spaceship MMO – themed as "Theaters of War" – Fenris Creations (formerly known as CCP) wants to bring more focus and dynamism back to the inner spheres. Over the next year or so, huge changes are coming to the new player experience and empire space, as well as the integration of first-person shooter combat with EVE: Vanguard, and we got an exclusive look at the big picture.
Cradle of War
The foundation of the trilogy is Cradle of War, coming in hot on...

Grand Theft Auto 5 actor Ned Luke has celebrated the sentencing of an online swatter who will now serve four years in jail.
Luke, who played Michael De Santa in Rockstar's blockbuster, regularly streams himself playing GTA Online — and has fallen victim to swatting attempts numerous times.
The practice of hoax calling the police to turn up at a streamer's address while they're on camera — usually with a claim of violence to provoke an armed response — has sadly become prevelant, and evidence exists of Luke being swatted on at least four occaisons following a leak of his personal address.
Now, however, progress has clearly been made in catching those responsible. In a post on X/Twitter, Luke shared a letter from the U.S. Department...
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC and PlayStation 5 received a major patch today that adds the “streamlined progression” feature.
This feature includes various options to streamline combat and exploration, such as unlimited HP and MP at all times, 9,999 damage dealt to enemies during battles and minigames, and the maximum number of each item available (with some exceptions). Square Enix said this feature is designed to help players “advance through the game smoothly, not only during your first playthrough but also when you replay it.”
Also added is the "New Game - Head Start" feature, which lets you start the game with level 65 characters (max level: 70) equipped with several enhanced materia.
The PC version specifically also now...
Team 17 and Expression Games have announced that the launch of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will be delayed until August 13. The game had been planned to launch digitally on June 18.
The decision comes following Closed and Open Beta programs for the 50v50 multiplayer shooter.
“In addition to your feedback, we have also been carrying out intensive internal playtests for both the PC and console versions of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam and we have identified several areas where additional development time will allow us to deliver a stronger launch experience,” the companies explained in a joint statement.
“Therefore, after careful consideration, we have decided to delay launch to August 13th. This will ensure that Hell Let Loose: Vietnam launches...
Developer S-Game has announced a delay for Phantom Blade Zero that will see its PC and PlayStation 5 release date pushed back almost two months.
CEO and game creator Soulframe took to the studio's X/Twitter account to share the news and their "sincere apologies" following its appearance at today's State of Play June 2026 presentation. It's a lengthy note to players with a full explanation for the 50-day delay, which will see the PS5 console exclusive action-RPG move its launch from September 9, 2026, to October 29, 2026.
"First of all, I want to offer my sincere apologies to all the players who have been following and supporting us," Soulframe said. "This was not an easy decision. More than anyone, we understand the expectations our...
The release date for Control Resonant was finally revealed alongside a new trailer revealed at the PlayStation State of Play. It's coming September 24 this year and the new trailer gave us another look at the story of Control Resonant, the sequel to Remedy Entertainment's 2019 beloved action game. This time, players will fill the shoes of Dylan Faden, the tortured brother of Jesse Faden (protagonist of the first game), to stop a castastrophic supernatural threat that has consumed Manhattan and could eliminate humanity as we know it.
Remedy isn't following the new norm for AAA game pricing, as the standard edition will cost just $59.99, which is $10 cheaper than what's expected nowadays. However, if you want some extra in-game goodies...

The biggest news to come out of PlayStation's State of Play wasn't just that there was a new God of War game, but that Kratos was sitting this one out and his wife, Faye, was taking the starring role. God of War Laufey's game director Ariel Lawrence and Santa Monica Studio creative director Cory Barlog spoke exclusively to IGN ahead of the showcase to explain why.
"We'll always tell stories about Kratos, but I think for us, it was just a chance to talk about somebody who was so pivotal to the beginning and get to know them and push beyond into this new world and give us some place to be surprised and see how things connect. So for us, it's not a departure; it's more of an expansion."
Barlog explained that he knew way back in 2018...
God of War Laufey is burning the series’ rulebook and sending it to the afterlife… literally. Faye, wife of Kratos, mother to Atreus, is the protagonist in the latest game from Santa Monica Studio, and the 20 minutes of footage that just dropped as part of State of Play is one hell of an introduction to our new queen of carnage, facing off against two gods of war, forming an alliance with a cosmic cube, and finding herself stuck in a fever dream of a new world.
"We’ll always tell stories about Kratos, but I think for us, it was just a chance to talk about somebody who was so pivotal to the beginning,” says Ariel Lawrence, Game Director on God Of War Laufey. “To get to know them and push beyond into this new world and give us some...
Thinking back to the original release of Rayman Legends back in 2013, there isn’t much I would change about it. Slick 2D action platforming with a good mix of heady puzzles and shmup sequences – when executed well, those kinds of things can hold up over time. And Ubisoft would agree, because after getting my hands on the upcoming remake in Rayman Legends Retold, I know first-hand that it plays exactly as you’d expect since the core gameplay hasn't really been touched (although there is a lot of new content). But as much as I believe the painterly pre-rendered art style of the original didn't necessarily need a makeover, Ubisoft seemed to put in painstaking effort in recreating Rayman Legends with a modern visual overhaul, bringing the...
RuneScape: Dragonwilds launches on PlayStation 5 later in 2026, developer Jagex has announced, marking the first time the RuneScape IP has made the jump from PC to consoles in its 25-year history.
As confirmed during Sony’s State of Play showcase, RuneScape: Dragonwilds also joins PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium at launch as a day one title.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an open-world survival crafting game from Jagex that has already sold 1 million copies on PC via Steam, where it has a ‘very positive’ user review rating. Here’s the official blurb:
The main RuneScape game — the long-running medieval fantasy MMO that launched in 2001 — is available to play on PC and mobile in modern RuneScape and Old School RuneScape form, but...
During the PlayStation State of Play, a brand new trailer teased the story and gameplay of Silent Hill: Townfall.
Unlike most Silent Hill games, this one will be first-person and not set in the town of Silent Hill at all. Players will sneak around a spooky town in Scotland, using items like bottles to distract monsters to avoid direct conflict. Townfall isn't the first Silent Hill game, but it is the first premium title in the series to change perspectives. Hideo Kojima famously tried to take the series in a new direction with Silent Hills and utilized a first-person perspective with the game's teaser, known as PT. Unfortunately, Konami pulled the plug on it during a public break-up with Kojima. It left many craving not only a new...
PlayStation's highly-anticipated State of Play event was flooded by demands for Destiny 3. During the opening of the show, PlayStation's official Twitch chat was almost completely dominated by cries for a new Destiny game. The chat was spamming Destiny-related emotes along with the hashtag #WeWantDestiny3. The YouTube chat was a bit quieter, but there was still a vocal amount of people calling for a new game in the Bungie franchise. It came as a bit of a surprise, as PlayStation opened the show with an in-depth look at its most anticipated game of the year, Marvel's Wolverine. And yet, people were more focused on demanding a new Destiny game.
This comes nearly two weeks after it was announced that Bungie would be winding down support...
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls showed up for the Sony State of Play June 2026 presentation with a first look at new playable characters Carnage, Green Goblin, and Magneto.
Gameplay for the roster additions revealed that the trio will be joining Knights of Doom team leader Doctor Doom when developer Arc System Works’ comic book fighting game launches August 6, 2026. It's a first look at the latest team to join the game.
Doctor Doom is one Marvel villain players have been looking forward to for some time. His three teammates, however, bring brand-new reveals. You can see a first look at gameplay for Carnage, Green Goblin, and Magneto below.
Carnage is one character that players were hoping to see enter the fray following a cleverly...
Rayman Legends Retold has now been officially announced by Ubisoft following earlier leaks.
The souped-up platforming remake has been completely remade with 3D visuals for its original sidescrolling sections, plus all-new 3D gameplay segments, as glimpsed in a reveal trailer shown during today's big PlayStation State of Play broadcast.
Rayman Legends Retold will launch on October 1 for PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S, and is priced at $39.99.
Today's trailer also offered a glimpse at the game's reimagined story, which also features voiced cutscenes. Musical levels will also return, though the four new ones mentioned by Ubisoft in a press release sound like they'll be different from the original (Black Betty...
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis looks set for a release date delay announcement, after what appears to be an online advert leak ahead of Sony’s State of Play showcase.
Wario64, who as an Amazon Associate tweets affiliate links, took to X / Twitter to link to two listings for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis on Amazon alongside images, apparently confirming a $59.99 price point and a February 10, 2027 release date. Neither link is currently live.
We have no official explanation for the delay, but it's worth noting GTA 6's upcoming November launch, which will no doubt command attention and threaten the success of any triple-A video game that dares to come out in and around it. Tomb Raider will, however, now go up against Microsoft's...
A remaster of the Toy Story 3 video game is coming very soon, and it'll be released alongside a collection of the first two games. On October 15th, Digital Eclipse will release Toy Story: Retro Roundup and Toy Story 3: Complete Edition for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Both games will be available in one physical package for $39.99 or for $24.99 each. Toy Story: Retro Roundup will include the original Toy Story video game, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, Toy Story Racer, and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. As a bonus, Digital Eclipse is also throwing in the video game for A Bugs Life.
This collection will add new gameplay features, such as the ability to save whenever...
Valve has allegedly gone to great lengths to maintain Steam's position as a marketplace titan on PC, including one example that reportedly saw it threaten to retaliate against Ubisoft by delisting Rainbow Six Siege.
Information related to the goings-on at the gaming tech company comes from an extensive Bloomberg report (paywall). The site stated that, as indicated by emails uncovered as part of an antitrust lawsuit against the Half-Life developer, there has been more than one occasion where Valve used aggressive tactics against publishers looking to bolster their own digital storefronts.
Perhaps the most significant example presented in the report involves Assassin's Creed publisher Ubisoft and its tactical first-person shooter...
