For the third time, a War Thunder player has leaked classified military intel on the game's forums in response to, in this case, ammo for Chinese tanks not being accurate enough.
As reported by UK Defense Journal (via PC Gamer), a user uploaded an image of the DTC10-125 tungsten penetrator and a technical doc containing its specifications because they were angry about some small inaccuracies.
The part in question is a "high-velocity, non-explosive 125mm sabot round fired by the Chinese Type 96 and Type 99 MBTs" and is considered "one of the [People's Liberation Army's] main tank killing rounds."
This leak, which very well could be considered treason, follows similar leaks on War Thunder's forums that revealed classified information...

It’s a great time to be a Diablo fan. Diablo II’s recent resurrection gave the classic title a fresh coat of paint, Diablo IV’s development continues to roll along, and now, as of June 2, Diablo Immortal has arrived Android, iOS, and PC - the series’ first original release in years.
I caught up with Blizzard’s Rod Fergusson, Diablo Franchise General Manager, and Joe Grubb, Principal Game Designer on Diablo Immortal just before the game’s launch to discuss how the series has been reinvigorated, and what Blizzard are hoping to achieve with Immortal.
“There's a consistent through-line to what makes a Diablo game a Diablo game,” Rod Fergusson explains. “But, I definitely believe there's room for these games to exist together as unique...
Good things are coming to you in threes today. While on my usual hunt for bargains, I spied a particularly juicy collection of...well, collections. Case in point(s): the Crash N.Sane and Crysis Trilogies for over 30% off.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3: Vibin' has officially arrived and it brings with it a Battle Pass featuring Darth Vader and Indiana Jones, rideable wolves and boars, the return of Ballers, and much more.
Vibin' follows Chapter 3 Season 2's "Collision" event and has made Fortnite's Island "one giant party." This party also comes with some map changes, led by a new location called Reality Falls.
This new area is home to the Reality Tree and is filled with bouncy mushrooms, purple trees, waterfalls, caves filled with loot, and much more. The Reality Tree is also sending out Reality Seed Pods, and when players plant the seeds from those pods, a Reality Sapling will grow. This sapling will grow in the same place from match to match and will...

The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has not been canceled, but an issue with timing resulted in the game being delisted from retailers.
Earlier today, retailers like GameStop and others were delisting pre-orders for the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, prompting concerns the project has been canceled. IGN can confirm that the Remake is still in development, but has been further delayed out of FY23.
In a statement to IGN Ubisoft says, "The development of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake will now be led by Ubisoft Montreal. We’re proud of the work achieved by Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, and Ubisoft Montreal will benefit from their learnings as the new team will continue the work to deliver...
On this week's very special episode of IGN's PlayStation show, Podcast Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Brian Altano, Max Scoville, and Jada Griffin to react live to the latest June PlayStation State of Play.(Note: This episode was originally filmed during a live broadcast and has seen been edited and trimmed, so apologies for any skips or jumps you may encounter!)
The crew covers all of the surprise reveals, gameplay updates, and more as we discuss if this is PlayStation's best State of Play ever? We dive into the biggest reveals first, with Resident Evil 4 Remake, Street Fighter 6, and Final Fantasy XVI toplining our conversation.

From the long-awaited Final Fantasy XVI to indies like Stray and Rollerdrome, yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play was filled with exciting announcements, and IGN readers voted for which games they're most excited for.
Following our poll with nearly 5,000 votes, there were a few clear winners from yesterday's event. Here’s what our audience had to say:
The Resident Evil 4 Remake claimed the top spot, with 35.2% of voters excited to relive the iconic horror game.
Final Fantasy 16 was a close second choice, claiming 29.9% of the votes.

Street Fighter 6’s news was surprisingly not as well-received, with only 8.7% of players selecting it as their favorite.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

Last week, in honor of Star Wars Celebration and the premiere of Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series, we asked you to help us decide which video game from that galaxy far, far away was the best of them all. Now, after thousands and thousands of 1v1 battles with matchups like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order vs. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy and Star Wars Battlefront vs. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the ultimate Star Wars game has been chosen.
So, which competitor claimed the top spot for the best Star Wars video game and is prophecized to bring balance to the Force? Drumroll please...
As if there was any doubt, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has once again claimed the top spot of a list of best Star Wars video games. We...
It’s one thing to blow up a spaceship; it’s another to dismantle it piece by piece, systematically reducing it from a hulking barge to a pile of valuable scrap. There’s a great sense of satisfaction in doing that job well, especially when performing it efficiently requires careful planning and carries a not-insignificant risk of killing yourself in a wide variety of ways in the process. Hardspace: Shipbreaker does a fine job of empowering us to carve up these gigantic space turkeys like every day is Thanksgiving and smothers it in a thick blue collar gravy, but it does wear thin with time. By the end of its campaign, the repetitive objectives and intentionally slow progression made shipbreaking start to feel like exactly what it’s...
IGN has more Sonic Frontiers gameplay for you today, this time focusing on combat. In the above video you'll see Sonic battle big bad guys and absolutely gargantuan bosses. And clearly, Frontiers doesn't simply have one-hit-kill enemies that serve as mere speed bumps as you zip through the stage. You'll need to use Sonic's speed and skills in order to outsmart and outmaneuver his foes out in the open zone.
If you missed our world gameplay reveal earlier this week, featuring you first long-form look at Sonic Frontiers' open-zone gameplay, take a look below:
We'll have much more on Sonic Frontiers as our month-long IGN First coverage rolls on, including the world's first hands-on preview, interviews with the game director and Sonic...
Insomniac Games has revealed that its Marvel's Spider-Man games have sold over 33 million copies worldwide as of May 15, 2022.
"I’d like to pause and express Insomniac’s profound gratitude for those of you reading this post who have already purchased and played the PlayStation console versions of Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS4, PS5)," explains Insomniac's Ryan Schneider in a PlayStation Blog post. "Let me tell you, there are a lot of folks to thank for your passionate support!" It's unclear whether this sales milestone also counts Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PS5.
However, the series will continue to sell now that both Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales are coming...

Devolver Digital has just announced its summer showcase event, and this year, it's all about the countdown.
The 'Devolver Marketing Countdown to Marketing' will be held on June 9 at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern / 11pm UK, and will apparently center around the 30 minutes of the countdown that typically takes place before a big showcase. It will also be hosted, incredibly, by "mecha" Suda51.
If you've seen Devolver's shows in the past, you probably have a good idea of what the deal is here. But if not, Devolver shared a little teaser:
Don't fret if you were hoping for actual game announcements though, because Devolver is promising "at least four video game announcements" during the event. Last year's show revealed games including Trek...
Resident Evil 4 Remake was only revealed during yesterday's PlayStation State of Play, but fans have already dissected the trailer and found potential connections to Resident Evil Village.
Perhaps the most obvious link between the two games was spotted by kaijumediajames on Reddit (below), who showed the similarities between a carving in the new trailer with Mother Miranda's cult symbol from Village.
The following paragraphs contain minor spoilers for Resident Evil Village.
The two images are definitely similar, and given that Resident Evil 4 takes place more than 20 years before Village, and therefore before the death of antagonist Mother Miranda, it's definitely possible that Capcom could link the two games (especially since we...
Resident Evil 4 Remake's existence was finally confirmed yesterday, and it turns out the new version of Leon Kennedy's iconic jacket is also totally real.
As spotted by eagle-eyed Reddit user redgrave187, the small print in Resident Evil 4 Remake's reveal trailer states that Capcom got permission from clothing firm Schott N.Y.C. to use their real jacket in-game. The US government clearly pays well, as the sheepskin leather bomber jacket costs a hefty $1,495, though perhaps no price is too high for quality clothing during a mysterious parasitic outbreak.
While Leon chose the classic brown look, the jacket is also available with gold accents or in straight black - perhaps a suggestion for some DLC costumes , given that Capcom likes to...
Final Fantasy 16's development team consists of an all-star line-up, with several industry veterans from not just the Final Fantasy series, but Dragon Quest and Devil May Cry .
Shared on the game's Twitter (below), Final Fantasy 16's combat director, Ryota Suzuki, was a gameplay lead on Dragon's Dogma, an effects designer on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and a designer on Devil May Cry 5. It seems fair to say that the action elements of the new RPG come with some pedigree.
Producer Naoki Yoshida, while most known for turning Final Fantasy 14 Online from a dead-on-arrival game into an incredibly successful MMO, has also worked on Dragon Quest X and Dragon Quest Builders, and director Hiroshi Takai has plenty of JRPG chops having...
Thank your own personal deity—possibly Sheogorath—it's Friday! Thanks to the deals I've found today, your weekend can be filled with more Far Crys than you can poke a (boom)stick at, top Lego-based co-op, and some good ol' fashioned Nazi killing from afar. Stay safe, save often and see you on Monday.

We already have a release window for Final Fantasy 16: Summer 2023 for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Revealed at today's Sony State of Play event, Final Fantasy 16 also got a new trailer, the first look at gameplay after previous cinematics.
During that gameplay trailer, we got a good look at how combat will unfold, as well as some new details about the world of Valisthea. There was also a significant focus on summons, showing battles with Titan, Shiva, Ifrit, and more.
Final Fantasy 16 was first announced for PS5 back in September of last year, at which time it was also originally announced for PC, then retracted -- seeming to be a timed exclusive of some kind. The game had already completed "basic development" by October, and we've since...
The Callisto Protocol gameplay has finally been revealed alongside a release date set for December 2, 2022.
A third-person survival horror game, developer Striking Distance Studios was founded by Dead Space creator Glen Schofield. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Schofield explained said "I'm excited to be returning to my roots with an all-new take on the sci-fi survival horror genre."
That influence is clear in its reveal trailer, with horrifying monsters and zombie-like creatures all throughout its futuristic setting of Jupiter's moon. You play as Jacob Lee, voiced by Josh Duhamel, who is a prisoner on the moon trying to survive during a "mysterious outbreak" that's mutating people into terrible monsters called Biophage...
Announced during Thursday's Sony State of Play showcase, Resident Evil Village is coming to PSVR 2.

VR Gameplay for The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners Chapter 2, No Man's Sky, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain was also shown for PSVR 2.

Stray, the game about a cat navigating a cyberpunk city, will be released on July 19 for PS4 and PS5.
Shown at Sony's State of Play event today, the PlayStation console exclusive puts players in the furry little feet of a cat lost in a futuristic cyber city that's falling apart. Separated from its family, the cat must solve an ancient mystery and find its way home with the help of a small robot friend known as B12.
It was also announced that Stray will be on PlayStation Plus at launch for members of the "Extra" tier and above.
Stray was first announced alongside the PS5 itself, but was pushed from a 2021 release into this year. The 3D adventure has you piloting a cat through a robot-filled city, avoiding dangers and making friends...
Capcom has officially announced the long-rumored remake of Resident Evil 4, via Sony's State of Play today.
What's more, we got a pretty solid look at the remake via a detailed cinematic trailer captured on PS5, and a release date of March 24, 2023. We also learned that there's PSVR2 content in development, though no further details on that component were shared.
According to a PlayStation Blog post shared following the event, Resident Evil 4 will be a "reimagining" of the 2005 game's storyline, with an aim to "achieve state-of-the-art quality for a survival horror suitable for 2023, while preserving the essence of the original game." It looks like there may be changes to the original's controls in addition to graphical updates...
No Man's Sky is getting a PSVR2 version, and it should launch alongside Sony's new headset as a free update to the core game.
Announced during Sony's State of Play event, developer Hello Games explained that it has been secretly developing a new version of the game for PlayStation VR2. In a statement, co-founder Sean Murray said, "the power of PlayStation 5, coupled with the all-new PlayStationVR2 hardware, including the new Sense controllers, combine together to take that sense of immersion and believability up another level."
A trailer showed a number of situations from the game, with a particular focus on the player's hands controlling their ship and weaponry – presumably hinting at how the version will make use of PSVR2's...
A brand-new PlayStation State of Play is upon us and Sony is ready to present updates from its third-party partners and "a sneak peak at several games in development for PlayStation VR2." Will there be even more surprises? We won't have long to find out.
We will be updating this page live with all the biggest announcements from the State of Play, so stay tuned to ensure you don't miss a thing!
Final Fantasy 16 Will Officially Be Released in Summer 2023
Final Fantasy 16's latest trailer has finally arrived and it was filled with gameplay and some of our favorite Summons from Final Fantasy's history, including Phoenix, Titan, Garuda, Ramuh, Shiva, Odin, Bahamut, and Ifrit.
It also revealed that Final Fantasy 16 will be released in...
The cover star of Madden NFL 23 is the late coach and commentator, John Madden himself. The legendary figure will appear on all three editions of the game.
The move pays respect to Madden, who died in December last year. The cover art for this year's digital edition also pays homage to the original John Madden Football game released in 1988 – you can see the old and new art side by side below.
While Madden appeared on every cover throughout the '90s his last appearance was in 2000, when the franchise switched to spotlighting NFL athletes instead of its namesake. This year, however, Madden will feature on each of the game's three covers.
The digital recreation above was made by Philadelphia-based sports artist Chuck Styles while the...
EA has revealed the gameplay changes coming to Madden NFL 23, including the addition of fan requested features in its Franchise mode.
Akin to Career Mode in FIFA or MyGM in NBA 2K, Franchise has been heavily criticised by fans in recent years but Madden NFL 23 promises a built-up and refined version which includes staff management, weekly game planning, and scouting.
New free agency tools, improved trade logic, and increased scout decision making also increase the authenticity, all packaged together with a simplified user interface intended to create a stronger understanding of how to build a strong franchise.
For those looking to launch a solo career, Face of the Franchise mode has also received some upgrades, headlined by the...
When developer Player First and Warner Brothers were creating their new platform fighter, MultiVersus, which ties together all the WB properties, including Game of Thrones, DC, Looney Tunes and more, a lot of attention clearly went into the small details. From backstory references to character interactions and gameplay mechanics, MultiVersus has tons of fun little Warner Bros’ IP details to notice while you and your friends are beating the crap out of each other. Here are 13 of the coolest found in its closed alpha.
1. Scooby Doo’s Velma is the only character so far with a crouch walk, and when she does it, the screen blurs because she’s looking for her glasses. We all know she can’t see without her glasses.
2. When Steven...
It’s very apparent at first sight that Ripout is absolutely in love with 80’s horror. Its retrofuture interiors and lumpy body horror should fire plenty of nostalgia neurons for fans of The Thing or Alien. But as its aesthetics are clearly in the past, the gameplay makes a valiant attempt at moving the co-op shooter into a newer, less crowded direction. Ripout chooses patient and deliberate room-sweeping over colorful and frantic bullet storms against waves of bad guys – a sort of Doom 3-esque experience, but with friends. And though I only had a small window of time to stalk its corridors, Ripout has the makings of a premier horror space shooter without notable contemporaries.
In Ripout, humanity made a bioweapon to fend off an alien...
