Professional Tekken 8 player SuperBrine is going viral after reaching God of Destruction using Alisa while completely blindfolded with a sleep mask.
SuperBrine has been streaming his run on Twitch in the form of seven separate broadcasts, starting in June 2026. The final stream from this series, broadcast in early October, has become a hot topic within the fighting game community, as he was able to reach one of the game’s top ranks from Beginner while obscuring his vision with a sleep mask.
It’s an impressive feat no matter how you swing it, standing as a testament to SuperBrine’s skill as a player and Tekken 8’s laudable sound design — but, perhaps unsurprisingly, his blindfolded run from Beginner to God of Destruction has sparked no...

The Best Deals Today: Star Wars Zero Company, AirPods Pro 3, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, and More
A new weekend has arrived, and today, you can save big on Star Wars Zero Company, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Shuten Order, MLB The Show 26, and more. Check out our top picks for Sunday, October 4, below.
Star Wars Zero Company for $47.97
Star Wars Zero Company is one of the biggest sleeper hits of the year, and you can save $12 off a physical copy today at Amazon. In our 9/10 review, we wrote, "Star Wars Zero Company is an excellent tactical game that does a fantastic job of slathering on the same cinematic look and feel we saw in Respawn's Star Wars Jedi games, incorporating strong characters and a storyline that's refreshingly centered on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain."
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter for $39.99...
RuneFest 2026 is over, and we’ve got a roundup of everything announced at Jagex’s big show celebrating its long-running fantasy MMORPG.
RuneScape 4
This year saw a number of significant announcements, none bigger than confirmation that a fourth RuneScape MMO is in the works. Jagex hasn’t officially called it RuneScape 4 (RS4 is the working title), but we know it’s built on Unreal Engine and is designed to use the latest technology and design, so it really does sound like a next-gen RuneScape game. There’s no information on when it will be released, but the teaser trailer is below.
New RuneScape animated adaptation
Jagex announced a new RuneScape animated adaptation, in partnership with YouTuber Charlie White, aka MoistCr1TiKaL, and...
Developer Jagex has announced a fourth MMO in the long-running RuneScape franchise, as well as an animated adaptation.
At RuneFest in Birmingham, England, Jagex offered a glimpse at this new MMO, which it said was built “for a new generation of players.” It’s still in early development (a release isn't expected for at least a few years), and it doesn’t have an official title (Jagex is going with RS4 as a working title for now), but it will “bring the world of Gielinor to life in Unreal Engine, combining the depth, freedom and community-led spirit that have defined RuneScape for 25 years with the technology and game design possibilities of today.”
Jagex currently operates RuneScape itself, Old School RuneScape, and spinoff RuneScape...
The Gears of War: E-Day developers at The Coalition say they are "proud to be one of Xbox's main titles" as Microsoft refocuses on exclusivity.
Studio art director Aryan Hanbeck and creative director Matt Searcy opened up about The Coalition's place in the Xbox portfolio during an interview with gaming news content creator Destin Lergarie (via MP1st). Searcy said he and the rest of the team were "proud" when asked how they feel about Gears of War: E-Day's status as an Xbox exclusive.
"Well, we feel great because Gears has such a long, storied… It's part of Xbox's DNA. It's woven into it," he said. "At The Coalition, we feel pretty honored to have Gears and be the ones bringing that legacy forward. We know how much it means to people...
A new weekend has arrived, and today, you can save big on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Shuten Order, MLB The Show 26, and more. Check out our top picks for Saturday, October 3, below.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter for $39.99
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is the first entry in the beloved Trails series, and last year's remake brought new life to the original game. With 2nd Chapter out now, today is a great time to dive into this wonderful RPG series.
Shuten Order for $49.99
Amazon has Nintendo Switch 2 copies of Shuten Order on sale today for $49.99, which is the lowest price we've seen to date. If you're unfamiliar, Shuten Order comes from DMM Games, Neilo, and Tookuo Games as a game that offers five different gameplay styles...
Wallhacks have plagued Call of Duty for years, but in Modern Warfare 4, Activision has a plan to change that.
If you're unfamiliar with the term, wallhacks are a type of cheat that allows nefarious players to see their opponents' every move through walls. Call of Duty is far from the only multiplayer-centric gaming franchise to suffer from cheaters who use the tool, but it might be the most infamous example – and in Modern Warfare 4, that's all about to change.
As detailed in a new video published on the franchise's official social media pages, publisher Activision and developer Infinity Ward revealed a new system aimed at combating wallhack cheaters. Called "server culling," the goal is to make Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 more...
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Naoki Hamaguchi said he did his best to fight for a disc release as the industry heads toward a "future where physical media is essentially disc-less."
The lead developer in charge of next year's new remake chapter opened up about the state of gaming during an interview with Radio Times. It's a topic he's touched on before, but this time, he explained how his own appreciation for physical media led him to push for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation to get at least one disc as the industry speeds toward an all-digital future.
"Personally, obviously, I bought lots of physical editions of games as a child. Sometimes I buy digital editions of games, but if I'm particularly attached to a title, I want to get the physical...
Former NFL coach Mike Tomlin spent 19 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and won Super Bowl LXIII, and now he's added another major accomplishment to his resume: becoming a Minecraft YouTuber.
The former coach gave football fans a little something different when he launched his new YouTube channel earlier this week. With a profile picture taken in front of NBC's Football Night in America logo, watchers probably weren't expecting Tomlin's first upload to see him confess how his love for architecture and family led him to work on a Minecraft city he spent 12 years building.
"You know, 12 or 13 years ago, when my kids were in middle school, they'd be in their room all weekend and have friends over. They were obsessed with playing this...
Disney has responded after rumors suggested it was interested in buying Fortnite developer Epic Games.
Disney president and chief creative officer Dana Walden touched on the company's relationship with Epic during an interview with Bloomberg Live. When asked if there have been talks about expanding their previously established relationship with a full-on acquisition, she said that strategy isn't something Disney is entertaining, at least right now.
"Well, I think that it was pretty obvious that we had very serious conversations about an investment and an equity stake," Walden responded. "Those are not the conversations we're having right now, but we have a great partnership and a number of launches coming up over the next two years...
I have spent the last three days scrolling through some of the most insane mod videos I've ever seen. Modders are taking games that have been decompiled with Claude, and mashing them up with other games. As the week has gone on, there have only been more clips of these mods pouring out on X/Twitter.
One person created a mashup of World of Warcraft and Call of Duty: World at War; another combined Escape From Tarkov with Skyrim. There’s even one that takes Insomniac’s Spider-Man and combines it with Batman Arkham City, where the player is able to swing around Batman’s turf.
These mods are everywhere online right now, though they thankfully haven’t filtered into modding websites like Nexus Mods yet. But, with the sheer volume of these...
For as much as World of Warcraft Forever has been making an effort to preserve the vanilla WoW experience, there are just some things in the game's history that must be added, and the quest 'Kyle's Gone Missing!' is one of them. And Blizzard just added it to Forever.
'Kyle's Gone Missing!' was added during the Burning Crusade expansion through a Make-a-Wish campaign in 2007 for Ezra Chatterton, who was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier that year. Chatterton, who went by the in-game name of Ephoenix, voiced the quest-giver, Ahab Wheathoof, and had his dog Kyle added to the game, which players were then tasked with finding. The quest went live in patch 2.1.2 on June 19, 2007, and has been in the game ever since.
Sadly, a little over...
PC players can currently pick up System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster for free on the Epic Games Store until October 8, 2026. As with all of Epic's weekly freebies, anything you claim during the window stays in your library permanently. You'll need a free Epic Games account to claim System Shock 2, and the game is played through the Epic Games Launcher.
Nightdive Studios, the team behind a string of well-regarded classic revivals such as those for Quake and Star Wars: Dark Forces, released the 25th Anniversary Remaster in June 2025.
The update keeps the original design but modernises how it looks and plays, including the following changes:
Remastered visuals, including cutscenes, character models, and weapon models
Support for...
Once merged, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones company Warner Bros. will exist alongside Paramount as a sub-brand of Skydance.
The historic film and TV studios are being slapped together by David Ellison and backed by his billionaire dad Larry Ellison in a deal worth $110 billion, following a hostile bid for WB last year and despite various regulatory blocks that have attempted to scupper the deal in the U.S. and abroad. Concern has been raised that the merger may lead to thousands of job losses through corporate consolidation, afford control over a huge chunk of Hollywood to the Ellison family, and in turn risk the independence of news networks such as CNN.
However, opposition to the deal has now largely melted...
October is here, which means the Fall is in full swing, which means some of the biggest games of the year drop this month ahead of You Know Who. We've already played some of the biggest ones, so check out our previews of Phantom Blade Zero, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Final Fantasy Resonance, and more below.
Phantom Blade Zero
Release Date: October 29
There are three difficulty options to choose from, but even at the default setting that I played at, Phantom Blade Zero is hard, and I loved that about it. It never felt cheap; it just demanded more from me. In just over an hour of play, I was easily ten times the player I was when I started. It’s a feeling of achievement that is reserved for the very best action games on the planet...
The original Xbox version of Halo: Combat Evolved has been made available to play in a web browser.
This is not a port of Bungie’s seminal 2001 first-person shooter, rather the original Xbox game running in your browser. Hot on the heels of decompilation work done elsewhere, AI developer Mitchell Hynes released Halo in a browser, hosting and maintaining the game himself.
Hynes made a point of explaining that this browser release is not Borderlands developer Gearbox's official and divisive 2003 PC port of Halo: Combat Evolved, no doubt to encourage veteran fans of the original to give it a shot. And his tweets appear to have gathered a great deal of attention. Five hours after releasing the game, it saw nearly 20,000 games, hitting an...
For a series as storied as Star Wars – one brimming with more spacecraft and speeders than George Lucas has beard bristles – it borders on baffling that developer Fuse Games’ Star Wars: Galactic Racer can arrive in 2026 as the first new game of its kind in over two decades. I blame Super Bombad Racing, if only because Gungan isn’t a real language and using a portmanteau of bomb and bad in the title was probably never the perfect pathway to sales success. Galactic Racer, on the other hand, has a range of impressively customisable vehicle classes that expands the hangar well beyond classic podracers, gorgeous course design, and an impressively credible and explorable world outside the on-track action. It’s an eye-catching and rich...
The creator of one of the most popular Total War: Warhammer III mods ever has deliberately corrupted it so that it will no longer work with “unauthorized reuploads,” amid a row over the rights and wrongs of AI-generated modifications.
Veteran modder Venris has created Simply Fun Overhaul (SFO) mods for Total War: Warhammer for years, with a popular Patreon helping in the development of the latest version, SFO: Grimhammer III. The mod overhauls the base game to be closer to the lore and Warhammer universe, changing everything from the campaign and battle mechanics to the economy and customization.
Recently, people have used AI to release sub mods of SFO: Grimhammer III that work with updated versions of the main, Creative...
The person behind a viral AI-generated Fallout: New York game has pulled it offline after receiving a cease and desist from Bethesda.
Earlier this week, a self-styled “AI creative” known as “CHRIS FIRST” on X / Twitter published a video of Fallout: New York, a game built by Claude Opus 5.5 and made playable in a browser. It included quests, companions, dialogue trees, Fallout’s iconic V.A.T.S. combat and even a working Pip-Boy.
The initial video, viewed 3.5 million times on X / Twitter, sparked a debate about the rights and wrongs of CHRIS FIRST’s use of AI, with some calling the game AI slop, and others impressed by the gameplay. As you’d expect, many responded to the video to predict that Bethesda would eventually step in, although...
Doom: The Dark Ages developer id Software has announced a new free update coming to the first-person shooter's Revelations DLC next month: an endless single-player "Slaughter Mode."
As announced on today's Slayers Club Live livestream with Doom: The Dark Ages game director Hugo Martin, Slaughter Mode will be "an endless single player mode where players fight through escalating demon waves across multiple arenas, earning cosmetics and their personal best in round/score."
Though id didn't give a specific launch date for the Slaughter Mode update, we can probably rule out November 19! And if you haven't played the stellar The Dark Ages yet, or its excellent expansion, Revelations, now's the time!
Fortunately, id Software carries on...
The co-founder, co-chairman, and chief product officer of Riot Games, Marc Merrill, revealed the number of monthly active users 2XKO would have needed to justify its budget, and the eye-popping amount has sparked an animated debate within the fighting game community.
Speaking on The Lemonade Stand, Merrill went into detail about what happened behind the scenes at Riot to cause 2XKO’s catastrophic failure, and provided a ballpark figure of monthly active users the game would have needed in order to justify how much money and time was spent on its development.
It’s no surprise that this figure was, to put it lightly, pretty unrealistic for a fighting game; Merrill said that, considering its cost structure, 2XKO would have needed a...
Metro 2039 is not terribly far away now, launching on February 4, 2027. While that game will truly bring the franchise to current generation consoles, developer 4A Games is launching next-gen updates for the first two games.
Both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light were incredible tech showcases for their time, but they haven't exactly aged gracefully. Despite getting an intial remaster all the way back in 2014, Metro 2033 doesn't play super well with modern hardware, and I've needed to tweak it every time I've gone back to play it. Luckily, these next-gen updates should bring some long-needed bug fixes to the game.
The update will look different on console and on PC. For PS5 and Xbox Series X, the Metro games will run at either native...
IGN's favorite game of 2024, Metaphor: ReFantazio, is getting a hardcover art book next year titled The Art of Metaphor: ReFantazio by Kelly Knox. If the game has a special place in your heart and you're eager to add this beautiful release to your bookshelf, preorders are now live for it at select retailers with a price tag of $50 (see it here at Amazon). You'll have to wait a little while to get your hands on it, though, as it's not set to be released until March 9.
Preorder The Art of Metaphor: ReFantazio
See at Amazon - $50
See at Walmart - $50 (OUT OF STOCK)
While that's still quite a ways away from now, don't let that stop you from putting an order in for it early. This new art book could very well sell out (it already has at...
007 First Light launched earlier this year with the promise of future content being added to the TacSim mode, and IO Interactive has finally followed through.
The 007 First Light Extended Operations DLC launches for free today, and adds five different missions to the TacSim mode, along with New Game Plus, new outfits and a photo mode that was somehow missing from the game at launch.
Four of the new operations will revolve around the Valhalla, the supercar you get to play with in the campaign, like, once. According to the trailer, these Valhalla missions look like driving trials, where you'll use the car's weapons and gadgets to complete challenges on a timer. Unfortunately, you won't be able to just substitute it into other missions...
The 40th anniversary of Mega Man is just around the corner, celebrating four decades of one of gaming’s most enduring icons. After going hands-on with both Mega Man and Proto Man in the upcoming mainline game Mega Man: Dual Override, IGN had the chance to sit down and chat with the design team.
With the help of an interpreter, I was able to ask Director Shinya Ikuta, Producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, Art Director Yuji Ishihara, and Art Director Shinsuke Komaki, a wide range of questions, from design inspirations for Twinkle Girl, what makes Proto Man and Mega Man different, whether or not we will ever get a Mega Man dating sim, and more. Read on to find the answer to that and other burning questions.
Note that as this was a group...
Key Preview Takeaways:
March of Giants shakes up the somewhat-rigid MOBA genre in a compelling way.
Matches aim to take 30 minutes or less.
Strategies aplenty here; you’ve got plenty of options for how to achieve victory.
Two opposing armies seek to lay low their enemies' lines of fortifications, outlying outposts, and supply depots. They rely on coordinated pushes, often suicidal assaults for the many troops involved, to break their enemies' will. They seek to develop or acquire new strategies and technologies to break the stalemate of fighting over an ever-growing no man's land. I'm either describing Trench Warfare or the very popular MOBA genre, or, in the case of the upcoming March of Giants, both at the same time.
It's a MOBA...
World of Warcraft: Classic has had a gold selling problem for its entire existence, but with Forever, Blizzard seems hard-set on reversing that trend, and some streamers are getting caught in the act.
Before Forever's beta came out, Classic had big problems with its economy due to the popularity of GDKP. For the uninitiated, that was a system where in raids, players would bid gold in order to get items that drop from bosses. That, combined with Blizzard's seemingly lax enforcement of real-money trading, or RMT, ended up with millions of gold being dumped into the Classic economies.
But, when Forever came out, Blizzard said it would be banning GDKP, which was a huge first step in making the Classic+ mode a lot more fair for everyone...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 players are up in arms over a coveted shield that is locked behind a Twitch paywall.
Space Marine 2’s 15.0 update launched today and with it came a new set of Twitch drops. Nothing particularly special there, except the fact you need to buy one new recurring or gift subscription ($6) to claim the Victrix Guard Shield.
Fans have called on developer Saber to add this shield to Space Marine 2 ever since the game launched two years ago. It appears briefly in the campaign, with an Ultramarine holding it more in the background of the Battle Barge than anything else. It’s not been available for players to wield before.
As you’d expect, the prospect of handing $6 to Twitch just for one shield has caused...
Jason Jones, one of the co-founders of Bungie and a co-creator of Halo and Destiny, has announced his new studio, Stone Kite, which will work on projects across various entertainment mediums. The studio's first release is One Zero One, a limited-series comic book based on a manuscript written by Jones. Check out some page selects in the gallery below.
The Los Angeles-based studio is a partnership with Margaret Stohl, a Bungie veteran who has written 14 books as well as numerous games and Marvel Comics in her career. She serves as Stone Kite's CEO. “I've spent my career creating books, games, comics, film and television, and I've seen how often the medium that tells the first story ends up defining everything that comes after it,” she...
Editor's Note: This review currently only covers Gears of War: E-Day's story campaign, as that’s all reviewers were given access to ahead of release. It will be updated with a finalized score and multiplayer impressions once we spend some time with the Versus and Horde Siege modes.
To the casual observer, Gears of War has always been a heavy-metal third-person cover shooter about a bunch of meatheads with chainsaws attached to their guns fighting aliens. But what Gears fans know all too well is that the real secret to the series’s two decades of success isn’t the killer graphics, the smart cover mechanics, or the gloriously gratuitous gore – although those things are all certainly significant parts of the recipe. It’s the heart...
