Mick Gordon, the composer of Doom 2016’s award-winning soundtrack, is taking the game’s music tp a festival for the first time ever — and he’s bringing the Doom Machine with him.
Doom 2016 set the standard for the iconic shooter’s musical profile. Famously sampling real chainsaw noises to pull off the unique guitar riffs that made the game’s soundtrack so famous, Gordon’s unorthodox methods have earned him a place in the highest pantheon of gaming legends.
Now, Gordon is bringing the music he composed for Doom 2016 and 2020’s Doom Eternal on tour, marking the very first time the soundtracks have been played by a live band for a live audience in a full-fledged concert (not counting the short medley of Doom's tunes he performed at The...

The internet’s favorite final girl says she’s branching into voice acting and would love to play a role in Capcom’s flagship horror franchise, Resident Evil.
Navarrette opened up about this new career path during an interview with Variety's Tiana DeNicola in late July, saying she’s been getting into the Resident Evil games lately.
When asked if she’s been approached to do any voice acting for games, Navarrette confirmed that yes, she has, and she’s starting that journey “soon,” though she didn’t mention any specifics about the projects she’ll be working on.
“I wanna try something smaller to kind of test the waters, and then later, [do something] different, because video games are obviously a big interest of mine,” she revealed. “I...
This month’s IGN First is Control Resonant, and we’ve got plenty of exciting looks at new gameplay to show you, as well as deep dives into the combat, enemies, and world of the game. A follow-up to the 2019 original, Remedy Entertainment’s sequel places you in the shoes of Dylan Faden on his mission to rid a warped Manhattan of the paranatural threats corrupting it. To do so, he’ll need to develop his skills and uncover new abilities. This is where today’s exclusive mission gameplay comes into things.
The Metro Fault is one of several “Faults” found around this alternate New York. Essentially dungeons, you’ll have to make your way through them in order to acquire the new traversal skill waiting at the end — in this case, Reach...
Fortnite's popular Pokémon-like Sprites are sticking around, developer Epic Games has confirmed, as it begins teasing a new gaming-themed season expected to feature crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog, Persona and Tetris.
Sprites arrived in force at the beginning of Fortnite's current season, introducing a growing menagerie of cute creatures you collect, trade, and level up to increase their power. The addition has been hugely successful and created a community of Sprite-obsessed fans who have contributed to a notable boost in Fortnite's player count.
It's a welcome surprise, then, to see that Sprites are now confirmed as sticking around for next season — and a whole new generation of them are on the way. In a community blog, Epic...
Erin Hunter’s iconic young adult book series, Warriors, is finally getting its first major video game, and it’s a turn-based RPG.
If you grew up with Firestar and the Four Clans, you’ve been waiting since 2003 for there to be some whisper of a large-scale, official adaptation following his journey from kittypet to Clan Leader. While comic books chronicling the Clans’ brutal and dramatic histories have been around since the mid-2000s, news of a film, series, or full-scale video game has been disappointing at best, leaving fans to create their own animations in labors of love that stand as a testament to how well-loved the franchise has been for the last two decades (we'll never forget you, SSSWarriorCats).
That all changed in 2026 — 23...
Rockstar owner Take-Two has confirmed the current November 19 GTA 6 release date is still on track, and insisted the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look will help grow “consumers’ passion and anticipation" for the game.
Reporting what it called “excellent” results for the first quarter of its 2027 financial year, Take-Two said the Grand Theft Auto series had “once again exceeded expectations,” with sales of GTA 5 over 230 million worldwide and 3% growth of the series overall in terms of microtransactions. GTA 5 is the second best-selling video game of all time, behind only Minecraft’s 400 million copies sold.
In its financial statement, Take-Two said “global excitement for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to build...
In yet another sweep of layoffs within the gaming space, Crossfire developer That’s No Moon has axed an as-yet undetermined number of staff.
Now-former employees began posting about the situation on their LinkedIn profiles on August 6, confirming that they were affected by layoffs at the studio. Roles impacted appear to have included technical and environmental artists. IGN has reached out to That's No Moon for comment.
That’s No Moon was founded in 2021 by industry vets from powerhouse developers like Naughty Dog and Infinity Ward. Based in Los Angeles, it revealed its first AAA offering, a narrative-driven, single-player title called Crossfire, at Summer Game Fest 2026.
Thus far, the project doesn't have an official release date...
The 2021 remaster of Quake has gotten a new, 19-level campaign co-developed by MachineGames in honor of the FPS' 30th anniversary.
At QuakeCon, id Software and MachineGames announced a free new campaign for the 2021 version of Quake. The new campaign is titled Dawn of the Machine and is available for Quake owners right now at no extra cost. Ranger is stuck in a time loop and must solve puzzles and fight new foes using new weapons (including an axe!) to survive. It includes a new soundtrack, new deathmatch maps, and achievements.
id Software and MachineGames have also ensured there will be a high degree of replayability with these levels, noting that the narrative presentation of the time loop allows for players to tackle them to their...
Dataminers have discovered content that suggests Call of Duty: World at War would've had a much larger focus on vehicle combat in its multiplayer modes.
Back in the mid to late 2000s, Call of Duty was defining its formula. It became annualized, with multiple studios alternating between games, ast-paced and class-based PvP multiplayer modes, and a blockbuster campaign. Still, there was a lot to figure out on what exactly those multiplayer experiences would look like. We know it well now, but it seems that Treyarch was playing around with vehicles in the series' earliest multiplayer modes.
Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: World at War's multiplayer modes both featured vehicles that players could freely get into and use. In World at War...
My party's fighter was lost in a tragic accident just minutes into the Secret of Weepstone demo. We'd stumbled into a filthy latrine, but the sound of running water could be heard from one of the bogs, so I thought, “Hey, why not toss a rock down there?” And it landed with a satisfying sploosh, so my next thought was, "Why don't I send one of my party members down there to check out the running water?" To my surprise, that was an option. And so my fighter climbed into the medieval toilet and promptly fell to his death. Elvis died ON the toilet, but my fighter died IN the toilet, so in a lot of ways, my fighter was Weepstone's king of rock and roll.
If I'm being honest here, the option to even stick my head into a poo-stained castle...
007 First Light's stacked Legacy Edition has received quite a major price cut at Amazon.
Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X copies have been discounted with the help of coupons on their respective store pages, with the former dropping to $156.47 and the latter hitting $161.69 when you click their coupon boxes.
Compared to their original $299.99 price tags, you're saving $143.52 on the PS5 copy and $138.30 on the Xbox copy. But that's not the only reason they stand out right now.
According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, these coupon prices are even cheaper than the most recent lowest-ever prices for both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X Legacy Editions at Amazon.
These were $189.29 and $186.37, respectively, which makes...
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is, on one hand, a demanding action game built around intense boss fights. On the other, it's surprisingly forgiving when it comes to mowing down regular enemies, letting you dispatch them almost however you like. Those two seemingly contradictory philosophies coexist throughout the game, often overlapping in ways that make it easy to misunderstand at first—but they also form one of its greatest strengths.
After the public demo featuring Kiyomizu-dera Temple, many players came away saying the game felt too easy—at least until they reached Sasaki Ganryu, the boss waiting on the famous stage of Kiyomizu's main hall.
I've always felt that action games built around combat generally offer one of two kinds of...
Resident Evil and Monster Hunter maker Capcom has said it won't see much of an impact from the death of physical game sales, as the vast majority of its titles are already sold digitally.
Responding to a query in its most recent investor Q&A, Capcom replied to a question asking whether the publisher would be impacted by the shrinking physical game market.
Of course, Sony has now said that it will ditch game discs completely for new PS5 games sold from January 2028 onwards, and there's an expectation that this means the PS6 will be entirely disc-less, too. Indeed, new consoles are already being shipped with warning labels, cautioning consumers of the upcoming changes. Xbox, meanwhile, is believed to be developing a system of...
Roblox player numbers and in-game spending have fallen sharply from their peak last summer, when the gaming platform hosted viral hits such as Grow a Garden and Steal the Brainrot.
These games still exist, of course — there's now a Grow a Garden 2! — but their moment in the spotlight has passed, many of the kids playing them have now moved on, and Roblox itself has said it is trying to change it's platform to provide a better-quality long-term future.
The company has also brought in more robust safety tools over the past few years, requiring age verification for many communication features. This, too, has likely provided some added friction to the player experience.
After an enormous spike in players last summer, Roblox's player...
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the fighting game genre. Alongside its eye-catching presentation, the game brings together a wide range of Marvel heroes and villains, each offering their own personality and potential playstyle.
So, who can you play as when the game launches? Below, we break down the Marvel Tōkon launch roster and introduce every announced character.
Marvel Tōkon Launch Roster List
The roster is divided into five teams, each featuring four characters. Every team shares a storyline, giving its members a clear narrative connection even when their personalities and powers differ.
With Arc System Works leading development, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls pairs an accessible...
While we didn’t get pre-release access to the full version of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, I did play many hours of online matches during its recent open beta, and can already confidently say that its fighting is a lot of fun. ArcSystem Works’ latest is a very mechanics-driven game that’s not always the most intuitive, so it took me some time to find my footing – but once I did, I got sucked right in. Its gorgeous action, its fantastic roster of characters, and especially its unique take on tag fighting allow for some flexibility in how many characters you actually need to learn to be competitive. I need to spend some more time in the arena and check out all the trimmings before my final review but Tokon seems primed to live up to the...
Actor Robert Bogue, who played FIB agent Steve Haines in Grand Theft Auto 5, says he auditioned for 60 roles in GTA 6, but was ultimately ignored by Rockstar Games.
The news comes courtesy of X user Burak, who DMed Bogue with some questions on Instagram. Despite the absurd secrecy revolving around Rockstar and GTA 6, Bogue was pretty forthcoming. The actor was asked whether or not he was involved GTA 6, to which he revealed that he's not, much to his dismay.
"I'm a little bit down on Rockstar right now," said the actor. "I had such a great time working with them. [...] I so badly wanted to work on GTA 6. I must've auditioned for over 60 characters. Some were big, some were small. I didn't care. I just wanted to be in it. I didn't get...
K-pop star Asa of BABYMONSTER fame is getting compared to Resident Evil’s Ada Wong after posting selfies sporting an outfit and hairstyle that makes her look strikingly similar to the iconic double-agent.
Ada Wong has a certain style; she’s a badass spy, after all, so she’s gotta look chic. We never catch our girl lacking, either — whether it’s the sultry bodycon dress from Resident Evil 2 or the turtleneck from Resident Evil 4, she knows how to work an outfit.
She’s nothing if not consistent, though, always boasting a short bob with side bangs and wearing some shade of deep red. That’s why, when Asa — the main rapper of K-pop group BABYMONSTER — posted photos with a similar look, fans instantly started comparing the two.
She...
Minecraft is getting a proper Nintendo Switch 2 version very soon, and Switch 1 owners will be entitled to an upgrade.
Mojang has announced that Minecraft will release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 27th. The game has been playable through Switch 2's backward compatibility for some time now, but fans will now be able to take advantage of enhanced visuals and performance features. Mojang noted that the Switch 2 version will include the Vibrant Visuals graphics option by default, which will give the game a leg up on the last-gen version. This will give players better lighting, shadows, and other graphical upgrades to make the visual experience more appealing and modern.
Additionally, the Nintendo exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up will...
It feels like no matter where I look recently, there's more evidence that the RAM crisis isn't ending any time soon. Now, a new report suggests that all three memory manufacturers — Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron — have collectively sold through their 2027 memory manufacturing capacity to, you guessed it, AI companies.
According to a report from Digitimes and spotted by TweakTown, all DRAM and HBM capacity has been sold through for 2027, with no further supply planned. (The companies themselves have not yet confirmed this to be the case.) Of course, that only means that retail prices are going to go up even further in the near future.
Selling through all the capacity for next year would be bad enough for consumers, but the problem is...
The recent PS4 and PS5 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 are already some of the best-selling games of the year, according to analysts.
Last month, Activision surprised Call of Duty fans by dropping ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 on modern PlayStation consoles. Activision has somewhat notoriously avoided re-releasing older Call of Duty games, as fans speculate that it would distract players from the newer games that are more lucrative for the publisher. Still, it seems that after Black Ops 7 failed to meet expectations last year, these ports were put into production to earn back player trust (and generate some quick cash, too).
That plan worked absurdly well, as Alinea Analytics estimates that Black Ops 2 sold a whopping 8.2...
Game Freak has promised a series of quick fixes after a mixed response to the launch of its big budget RPG Beast of Reincarnation.
Best known as the developer of Pokémon, Game Freak has continued to make various other games over the years — though none as ambitious-looking as action role-playing epic Beast of Reincarnation, which launched for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S yesterday.
But despite some flashy trailers and a lovable-looking dog companion, Beast of Reincarnation has garnered a tepid response from players. On Steam, the game sits with a Mixed user rating after more than 1,600 reviews. IGN's own Beast of Reincarnation review returned a 6/10 score, meanwhile.
"Its execution falls short of its promising ideas," we...
It's no secret that gaming hardware has been getting more expensive this year, so it shouldn't be surprising that people are buying less of it. But, it turns out that AMD's gaming business shrank by a whopping 31% in Q2 2026.
In the second quarter of the year, the gaming business only made $779 million, compared to $1.1 billion in Q2 2025, according to the company's latest earnings report. AMD attributes this loss to "lower semi-custom revenue," which means fewer consoles have been selling over the last few months. This is in a time that would have included the Steam Machine and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE in June 2026.
AMD's gaming revenue is lumped into the Client and Gaming segment, and overall, that portion of the business was up...
Blizzard will launch Diablo 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 next month, a fresh leak has revealed.
As reported by Dealabs' ever-reliable billbil-kun, the Switch 2 version of Diablo 4 will arrive in mid-September priced at $69.99 / £62.99 / €69.99, more than three years after the game first debuted on PC, PlayStation and Xbox back in June 2023.
Alongside a digital launch via the eShop, the game's Switch 2 port will also be released with a physical edition — though this will just contain a digital download code in an otherwise empty box. (Yes, there's not even a Game-Key Card here.)
An exact release date isn't yet available, though it's reported that the game will launch during the third week of September, on either Tuesday 15 or Friday 18...
It's 2026, and the soulslike subgenre continues to grow, with new contenders all aiming high to be the next great hit. It's an appealing genre, to be sure, but to truly make an impact, you need not only a great hook, but also stellar combat fundamentals that run deep. That's where the upcoming Swords of Legends is looking to put its best foot forward, as developer Aurogon Shanghai reinvigorates the long-running Chinese RPG series into a faster, more fierce action game that'll push players to master its wuxia-inspired martial arts.
Swords of Legends recently left an impression at Summer Game Fest 2026, and we've finally got over an hour of hands-on time to get a feel for its slick fighting systems and the visually stunning and tense...
Introducing Beaten Path, a new solo-developed tactical RPG set in a world of ancient machines and fallen gods. The developer (Jarett Gross) cites Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics as his inspirations. It includes 25 fully voice-acted characters. Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Beaten Path's Kickstarter campaign was fully funded in just six days, and now development progresses. “I started Beaten Path because I wanted to make the kind of tactical RPG I love playing, with meaningful strategy, lots of room for customisation, and a world players can spend time in beyond the battles," Gross said. "It has now been in development for almost five years, and over that time it has grown into...
A new report suggests that Halo: Campaign Evolved had a fairly troubled development.
According to Rebs Gaming, a popular Halo insider whose reporting journalists have corroborated in the past, the recent Halo remake underwent major changes during its development. Halo Studios works with a bevy of external teams and contractors, something that may have led to issues during Campaign Evolved's development. A studio known as Abstraction was recruited around 2023 to help modify the original game's work and make it compatible with a new engine and new features.
Halo Studios opted to utilize Unreal Engine 5, which created issues since the original game was designed on a rather ancient engine known as Blam. Abstraction worked to gel the two...
Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi opened up on the game’s connection to the Advent Children film, saying that more than one of FF7’s spin-offs are going to tie into the game’s ending.
In an interview with YouTuber Ashif’s Release Notes at Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival Berlin 2026, Naoki revealed that he’s well aware of the fan theories surrounding the next game in the Remake trilogy, particularly where ties to other properties in the FF7 universe are concerned.
He assured Ashif that he’s carefully considering all of these titles, specifically mentioning Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, and of course, the Advent Children movie.
"I see a great deal of that discussion. I've seen a lot of people discussing and...
It’s the first Tuesday of a new month (in this case, August), which can only mean one thing: a new batch of Steam games is available for pennies on the dollar. That’s because the August 2026 Humble Choice lineup is now live. It’s a murderer’s row of good games, spearheaded by Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Dead Cells. Normally, these games would cost around $218, but they're all available now for just $14.99. Let’s take a look a this month’s games.

In addition to the Yakuza followup RPG, you get the beat-‘em-up TMNT Shredder’s Revenge Ultimate Edition, Dead Cells with the Bad Seed DLC, and more.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a turn-based RPG take on the long-running Japanese crime series. It’s...
Leon Kennedy is coming to the real world… Well, sort of.
Capcom is preparing for Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary exhibition in Shibuya, and to celebrate, it’s commissioning a life-sized statue of the beloved horror series’ poster boy, Leon S. Kennedy.
Kennedy will join the oodles of other life-sized Capcom character statues that decorate the company’s corporate offices and physical stores, alongside icons like Street Fighter’s Ryu charging up a hadouken and an adorable Palico from Monster Hunter Wilds.
As you can imagine, Resi fans are already going wild at the possibility of seeing Leon in the flesh (so to speak), and the posts that have resulted from Capcom’s announcement are… interesting, to say the least.
“I’m about to pull...
