The minds behind Invincible VS are open to collaborations with other genres and IPs, specifically in regards to welcoming potential guest characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise.
We got the chance to sit down with Invincible VS’s Game Director, Dave Hall, and its Lead Combat Designer, Bau Bautista, at Evo 2026, where we asked them about the possibility of adding guest characters from completely different properties a la Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8.
Both Hall and Bautista enthusiastically welcomed the idea, but made sure to preface that the characters would have to reasonably fit within Invincible's world for such a crossover to make sense.
“I think for us, the Invincible universe is just such a beautiful, violent universe that...

Street Fighter 6 is now three years old and still going strong, with more than 2,000 entrants at this year's Evo in Vegas, a fresh batch of new faces on the horizon in the upcoming fourth character pass (including the much anticipated figthing game debut of Tifa from Final Fantasy 7), and a lively online competitive scene.
To talk about the current state of the game, along with its plans for the future, IGN sat down with Director Takayuki Nakayama and Producer Shuhei Matsumoto at Evo 2026, where we covered topics ranging from the significance of Yasmine's inclusion as the first Filipino character in Street Fighter history, the future of single player content now that regular World Tour updates have ceased, and a little tease of what...
Valve has finally opened Steam Machine reservations, and like clockwork, scalpers have already taken to eBay to sell the new tech for more than double its retail price.
The Half-Life and Steam company began allowing eager buyers to sign up for a random chance to buy one of its four Steam Machine reservation options earlier this week. Emails notifying users whether they successfully ended up in the "reservation queue" or the "waitlist" started going out over the last few days.
Stock for the already expensive gaming device, which is priced at $1,049 for its controller-less 512GB model, was always expected to be quite limited, which is why Valve opted for what it called a "less frustrating and more fair" randomized reservation system...
A new weekend has arrived, and today, you can save on Nioh 3, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, AirPods Pro 3, and more. Check out our top picks for Saturday, June 27, below.
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake for $38.99
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a very ambitious pair of remakes, breathing new life into these classics. Dragon Quest II especially saw huge additions to its story, making this the definitive version of the game. Amazon has discounted copies of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake down to $39.99, which is one of the best prices we've seen since release. In our 9/10 review, we wrote, "Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake beautifully concludes this trilogy, recapturing the retro magic of the originals while giving them a...
The hugely popular Space Marine 2 did a great job of delivering third-person action, but what about a big-budget first-person Space Marine game? So far, that doesn’t exist, but the latest Warhammer 40,000 animated show from Games Workshop gives fans an idea of what it might look like.
During Games Workshop’s Big Summer Preview showcase, the UK company revealed the debut trailer for a new animation called The Butcher’s Nails, which is due to hit the company’s streaming platform, Warhammer TV, soon. The gory clip stars a World Eaters Berzerker called Makrath, who joins forces with members of fellow Chaos Space Marine faction, the Iron Warriors, during an assault against loyalist Space Marines backed up by soldiers of the Astra Militarum...
Valve 'Would Love' a 'More Affordable' Steam Machine But Warns Changes Aren't Coming 'Any time Soon'
As players come to grips with the $1,049 price of the Steam Machine, Valve has said it would "love to make" it more affordable, while warning that a price drop won't arrive "any time soon."
Engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais and Yazan Aldehayyat opened up about the Steam company's hardware strategy during an interview with Digital Foundry. Their words arrive amid shortages for components like RAM and skyrocketing costs for gaming consoles and PCs across the globe.
The Valve team was asked if they would be open to lowering the price of the Steam Machine should these wider issues be resolved. Griffais admitted that there is "no point for us to keep hardware at a high price."
"It's meant to be an enabler of a stronger connection between...
Arcade cabinets have made a major comeback over the last few years, with companies like Arcade1Up bringing replica cabinets to market that can transform any room. While these units are highly sought after, they take up so much space, so it can be challenging to find a place for one. However, there is a perfect line of arcade cabinets from Numskull that addresses this very problem: Quarter Arcades. These cabinets are 1/4 scale, so they take up much less space than a traditional arcade cabinet.
As part of Amazon Prime Day, you can score the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Collector's Edition Mini Arcade Cabinet for $214.19, which is the lowest we've seen it all year. Grab a slice of pizza, and prepare to transform your office with this...

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners almost featured a different and "even worse" ending than the one it got, according to writer Bartosz Sztybor.
The writer behind Studio Trigger and CD Projekt Red's acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077 anime spin-off spoke about how Season 1's already bleak story could have had fans shedding more tears during a conversation with Anime Corner. In an excerpt from the full, yet-to-be-released interview, Sztybor teased that the ending of David and Lucy's story was almost more tragic than the one we got when the show came to Netflix 2022.
Warning! Spoilers for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners follow...
"There was never a happy ending. There were even worse endings," Sztybor said. "There was one ending in which David doesn't die entirely...

Bandai Namco has re-imagined classic fighting game characters like Kazuya and Kuma in the first teaser for a Tekken cartoon.
Officially stylized as "TEKKEN! CARTOON," the minute-and-a-half-long trailer mixes live action and animated elements to reveal an unexpected offshoot for the publisher's long-running fighting game series. Just five characters – Kazuya, Kuma, Yoshimitsu, Paul, and Alisa – show up in the video, but we wouldn't be surprised to see more cute versions of fan-favorite characters show up in whatever the final product ends up looking like.
"Your favorite #TEKKEN characters are coming out of the ring and into the cartoon world!" an official description for the animated project said. "Keep an eye on our socials for more...
The original Toy Story was the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I was six years old. I quite literally grew up with the Toy Story films, but I only ever got to play a couple of the games. I never owned a PS1, so what I could play was limited to time at a friend’s house or at demo stations in retail stores, but I still have fond memories of those games. Fortunately, it seems I’m not the only one, because Atari has decided that everyone needs a little Toy Story in their life. At SGF, I got to see a hands-off presentation of Atari’s two-part Toy Story revival, Toy Story Retro Roundup and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition, and I’ve gotta say, these games feel like they were made for me… and any other Toy Story fan who’d like to take a trip...
A new study has found that young male gamers in the UK are twice as likely to believe conspiracy theories compared to the country's general population.
The statistic comes from a new report by research firm More in Common and The AKO Storytelling Institute at the University of Arts London (via Video Games Industry Memo), which polled thousands of young Brits on their thoughts, and grouped them based on their average video game usage.
One aim of the study was to identify if video games could be a useful tool to reach those who may have switched off from mainstream media, and instead believed misinformation or disinformation spread by other sources.
Intriguingly, the gaming-heavy group that most stated they agreed with the idea that...
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered Is the Remaster I Didn’t Know I Wanted | IGN Preview
While I was waiting outside the Atari booth for my appointment to see Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered to start, I heard it, friends. The noise. You know which one. And I knew, then and there, that my faith had been rewarded. What I did not expect was for them to put a controller in my hands. But I’m really glad they did.
One of the coolest things about this remaster is that it’s being developed by the original team at Pipeworks, and you can feel it when you play it. I confess I hadn’t played it in a hot second; that game is from 2002, after all. But this feels like the game I remember burning countless days of my life with. And it was time well spent, honestly.
I jumped into one-on-one multiplayer, and let me tell...
The Steam Summer Sale season is finally here. For PC gamers, that means a familiar ritual: staring down a massive Wishlist, comparing prices, and trying to make your gaming budget stretch as far as humanly possible.
But before you dump your hard-earned cash into your Steam basket, there’s one quick insider move you should make first. If you want to score the absolute cheapest PC game keys, you need to claim your free Green Man Gaming XP loyalty account.
Here is why this simple step might save you more than shopping on Steam alone.
What Is Green Man Gaming’s XP Scheme?
XP is Green Man Gaming’s loyalty programme designed to give PC gamers extra discounts every time they shop.

Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe has reassured fans that he’s still working on his next game, Haunted Chocolatier, and explained why it’s taking so long.
ConcernedApe, real name Eric Barone, announced Haunted Chocolatier back in 2021, but amid ongoing work on his phenomenally successful Stardew Valley, progress on the follow-up has been slow going.
In a new blog post titled “Still here, still grinding…,” ConcernedApe insisted he was still working on the game, which he sounds somewhat embarrassed to have to keep on saying. “Feels kinda dumb posting this same thing over and over, but that’s the reality,” he said.
“I know it’s taking a long time,” he continued, before explaining the hold up. ConcernedApe is fussing over every last...
Popular Tabletop Simulator Steam mods that recreate the in-person Warhammer 40,000 game have reportedly received takedown requests from Games Workshop.
While Games Workshop hasn’t commented on its action here — and rarely does in cases such as this — one of the chief creators of Tabletop Simulator Warhammer 40,000 mods alleged that the UK company was to blame.
Tabletop Simulator is a long-running and popular physics sandbox designed to let people make their own board games in virtual form. It launched over a decade ago on Steam, where there are thousands of community-created mods, including Warhammer 40,000 mods.
This week saw the launch of the 11th Edition of Warhammer 40,000, Games Workshop’s flagship tabletop game and one of the...
The layoffs Bungie announced yesterday hit nearly 300 staff who worked at the developer’s Bellevue, Washington office, official records have revealed.
A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice issued by Sony to the Washington State Employment Security Department, reported by Game File, reveals 292 staff have been let go with a formal separation date set for July 9. This number does not account for Bungie staff outside Washington state. It is unknown how many staff remain at Bungie following the cuts, although the studio was reported to have employed 850 staff as of 2024.
It is Bungie's third round of layoffs in three years. According to The Seattle Times, Bungie once had 1,000 employees in Bellevue, according to a...
The Kingdom Hearts games have amassed one of the most loyal fandoms in gaming. Square Enix really tapped into something special when it combined classic Disney characters with a totally unique RPG. Unfortunately for Kingdom Hearts fans, none of the Prime Day Square Enix deals this year include any of the actual games. There is, however, a 3-foot stainless steel Keyblade that just dropped to its lowest price ever on Amazon.
Look, nobody actually needs a sword. But we only recently got Kingdom Hearts 4 gameplay footage for the first time earlier this month and there's absolutely no release date attached. Waiting forever for the next entry in the series is inevitable, but whether or not you own a replica of Sora's iconic blade is entirely...
Ever since the Steam Machine's price and release date was announced on Monday, there's been a lot of discussion about what the mini PC is actually capable of. And, seemingly in response to the discourse, Valve has updated the Steam Machine's store page, now claiming the CPU is capable of "up to" 4K gaming with FSR.
Originally, Valve claimed that the Steam Machine's CPU and GPU combo was capable of "4K gaming at 60 fps with FSR." In my testing that is true, but only once you start tweaking the settings to hit that performance target. And, there are certain games, like Death Stranding 2, where I couldn't get the Machine to hit that target.
Now that FSR 4.1 is available on the Steam Machine, Valve seems to have used it to update the...
Deltarune's story will continue next year, as creator Toby Fox has set a 2027 release window for Chapter 6.
Yesterday, Deltarune Chapter 5 was finally released to much anticipation. Within hours of its launch, the release helped the game shatter its previous concurrent player record on Steam. Previously, the record was 133,920 concurrent players, now the record sits at 290,973 concurrent players, more than double the original all-time peak. Despite Deltarune being nearly a decade old, it seems like it has only grown in popularity over time.
With all of that said, Toby Fox isn't slowing down when it comes to continuing the story. In an FAQ on the game's Steam page, the developer confirmed that Chapter 5 is not the end of the story and...
Popstar Olivia Rodrigo is joining Fortnite today, as the latest celebrity addition to Epic Games' battle royale.
Rodrigo's addition to Fortnite follow the launch of her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which charted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the biggest launch by a solo artist this year.
Known for tunes such as Drivers License, Good 4 U, Vampire and Drop Dead, Rodrigo began her career as a child actor on Disney series such as High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, before switching to pop and scooping three Grammy Awards, as well as headlining Glastonbury Festival last year.
Now, Rodrigo can be found on Fortnite's battle royale Island, and in its lucrative item shop at its next refresh.

Like The Witness before it, Order of the Sinking Star uses a simple puzzle structure as a vehicle for unexpected problem solving. Pushing blocks around a grid to press a button or reach some exit is far from a new concept, but neither was sliding a line around some symbols, and that was hardly “the point” of developer Thekla, Inc.’s previous masterpiece – and while the demo I played didn’t reveal all of its secrets, that certainly seems to be the case here as well.
Order of the Sinking Star is really many block-pushing games in one. There’s an overworld with its own lead character that has to figure out how to even reach each of its self-contained levels, all of which are sorted into different areas of the map representing various...
Destiny developer Bungie will lose a "significant number of employees" as part of brutal-sounding layoffs that will include "most of the Destiny team and some Marathon team members," PlayStation CEO Hermen Hulst has confirmed.
In a public blog post, Hulst described the decision as "difficult" and "painful," but "necessary to align the studio’s resources with its current priorities and long-term goals." The news follows the recent ending of new content for Destiny 2, and amid a lackluster player numbers for new launch Marathon.
Hulst's statement claims that "multiple alternatives" were explored before the layoffs were finalized, though offers no suggestion of what these might be. On Bungie's Destiny franchise, Hulst calls the series...
Peppa Pig's cast of child actors have reportedly been told they must sign new contracts that allow brand owner Hasbro to reproduce their voices using AI.
Hasbro has owned the Peppa Pig franchise, which began as a popular British children's TV series, since 2019. Now, however, the company is seeking to expand the franchise further with AI-voiced usage of its characters, including those voiced by minors.
The situation has caught public attention after an open letter from the Agents of Young Performers Association flagged the situation without naming the franchise involved. However, a subsequent Deadline report has now confirmed that it is the cast and owners of Peppa Pig who are currently in dispute.
"A major studio who owns the IP for...
It's been a year since I was introduced to EVE Frontier, Fenris Creations' (formerly CCP) ambitious space survival sandbox that looks to turn more control over to the players than EVE Online ever could. And it's come a long way mechanically and visually, going from rectangles in space to massive, spooky temple complexes drifting in the void. I even got a chance to feel how its modular vessels control and dig into the mysteries of its galaxy.
I won't spend too much time talking about the blockchain integration and monetization stuff, since I covered that in my preview last year and my thoughts haven't changed much. The bespoke crypto token, called $EVE, does seem very difficult to avoid interacting with it at all even as a solo player...
The Last Caretaker is a first-person survival-crafting game set after the end of the world, but it is not really about the end. It is about what continues after it.
Developed by Helsinki-based studio Channel37, the game places players inside a flooded Earth where humanity has vanished from the surface and one machine has been left behind with a single directive: save humanity. That means sailing across a vast ocean, scavenging the ruins of the old world, recovering human seeds, restoring ancient systems, and launching the next generation into orbit.
With a free demo, an active Early Access release, and major updates continuing to expand the world, here is everything you need to know about The Last Caretaker.
What Is The Last...
A heroic member of the fighting game community is being praised for apprehending an agitated Apex Legends player who pulled out a knife at a gaming lounge in New York City.
The incident took place on the night of June 20, when Kofi ‘Koustics’ Miller was in the middle of streaming League of Legends on Twitch at OS NYC, a gaming lounge and event space, when he stepped away from his setup about an hour into his broadcast.
During that time, Koustics attempted to de-escalate a dangerous situation involving an Apex Legends player, who brandished a knife after peaceful moderation had failed.
Koustics explained that the player had confronted an employee at the bar, drawing his attention away from his stream.
“I stepped outside, dude is...
Is 2026 the year of the videogame sidekick? Grace had Leon to bail her out in Resident Evil Requiem, Hugh had Diana to hack kill-bots for him in Pragmata, and now swordmaster Emma has very good boy Koo to bring a bit of magical aid to her crossbow and blade in Beast of Reincarnation. At a recent BiliBili Game First Look event in Shanghai, I got to go hands-on with the first two hours of the stunning post-apocalyptic action-RPG from Game Freak, the development team best known for being at the helm of the Pokémon series for the past three decades. I’m happy to report that based on the opening chapter of Beast of Reincarnation’s story, Game Freak seems to have successfully switched from catching ‘em all to violently dispatching ‘em all in...
I wouldn’t have thought that the Venn diagram representing fans of the beast-slaying Monster Hunter series and lovers of Animal Crossing’s cosy community-building would have too much overlap, but promising action-RPG Monster Fantasy may well prove me wrong. At a recent BiliBili Game First Look event in Shanghai, I got hands-on with a very early build of this hybrid adventure that gives players the flexibility to choose whether they want to seek the thrilling challenge of big game beast-hunting or the laid back chilling of just catching bugs and good vibes with their fellow villagers. It’s only early days in Monster Fantasy’s development and there’s clearly still a lot of work to be done, but so far this combination seems like it could...
