IO Interactive has published a portion of the opening mission from 007 First Light after copies of the game leaked to the public days before launch.
James Bond fans gathered over the weekend when (now-removed) video from the new game snuck its way onto the internet. With its early access launch not slated to arrive until May 26 and its full launch set later at May 27, it appeared at least a few players had nabbed their copies early and wasted no time uploading their gameplay footage.
IOI took to social media to comment on the leaks. It told its most excited fans to wait until the official launch if they want to avoid spoilers, but for those who may have already seen an unofficial upload, the Hitman studio published a cleaner look at...

Have you noticed? You can’t spell ‘Edward Kenway’ without ‘wayward’. And the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag truly embodies the word. At the game’s beginning, he spins a story to his wife about riches in the New World and leaves Bristol by boat. “I want food that don’t make me sick,” he tells her. “I want walls that hold back the wind. I want a decent life.”
He writes home once a year, and otherwise behaves like a man with no responsibilities, to his family or his fellow sailors. After a sea battle spits him out on the shore of Cape Bonavista, he winds up in an altercation with an Assassin named Duncan Walpole. Or “posh git”, as Kenway calls him. When Walpole tries to negotiate passage to Havana, Kenway attempts a robbery...
An online petition calling on Sony to greenlight the development of Destiny 3 has seen over 120,000 signatures, but it seems unlikely that the game will be made.
Developer Bungie shocked the gaming world this week when it announced the last update for Destiny 2 was set for June, effectively bringing to an end the Destiny era that began with such fanfare back in 2014. There has been much hand wringing since, with some expressing concern for the future of Bungie itself amid impending layoffs and the failure of Marathon — Bungie’s recently released ultra hardcore extraction shooter — to break out.
All the while, there is a growing call for Bungie to develop Destiny 3, with one online petition calling on Bungie parent company Sony to...
IGN is on the ground in Paris all weekend, capturing all of the breaking news at the Rocket League Championship Series Paris Major. Catch the Semifinals and Finals on IGN’s YouTube channel.
When Rocket League first came out 11 years ago, it appeared on the surface to be a relatively simple proposition: players face off in a soccer-like arena and battle to get a giant ball into a net. But, more than a decade later, the game has amassed a huge following and a distinct spot in the world of competitive Esports.
That growth culminates this weekend in the Rocket League Championship Series Paris Major - the game’s biggest-ever in-person tournament where 25 thousand fans are gathering to see which one of 16 teams takes home the biggest...
Ubisoft has confirmed Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will still let Edward Kenway get drunk and stumble around the Animus load screen, despite concerns to the contrary.
The publisher behind the stealth action franchise sent fans for a loop yesterday with a post showing gameplay of what it called a "AC Black Flag Resynced drunk loading screen." It's a bit strange, as the footage showed the remake's pirate protagonist walking through a digital world with a steady stride while the screen wobbled back and forth around him.
Fans familiar with the original Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will remember the 2013 title allowed Edward to put back a few bottles of rum and drunkenly trip through the Animus load screen during one portion of...
Warhorse Studios has confirmed its next Kingdom Come game will be an "open-world RPG," and it's expected to launch next fiscal year.
Communications director Tobias Stolz-Zwilling and community manager Tom Grey helped clear up any confusion during a recent livestream hosted by the studio. It followed the announcement that Warhorse had plans to develop what it called a "new Kingdom Come adventure," a promise that had some fans spinning theories about what direction the acclaimed medieval series may head in next.
Stolz-Zwilling put any rumors of new movies or major gameplay changes to rest when he confirmed that the currently untitled Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 follow-up will, indeed, be an "open-world RPG." Further details about...
Developer Behaviour Interactive has said the name Dead by Daylight players have waited 10 long years and one 13-hour livestream to hear: Jason Voorhees.
The hockey mask-wearing slasher icon from Friday the 13th showed up after weeks of speculation from fans with a brief teaser today. He's undeniably one of the most-requested Killers the long-running asymmetrical horror game has ever had, and while most are just happy to see the "Mount Rushmore of horror" finally completed, the road to Jason was anything but easy.
Dead by Daylight will celebrate its 10th anniversary this June, so to say expectations for its annual birthday festivities were through the roof would be an understatement. An unusual absence of leaks left fans to swim in a...
In the 41st millennium, there is only war. Everything, and I mean everything, is abysmal in the grim dark universe that is Warhammer 40,000. Whether it’s man fighting man, man fighting varying alien races, or man fighting the relentless hordes of the demonic powers of Chaos, there is nothing but endless violence and bloodshed. After years of resisting, and with the announcement of the 11th edition of the tabletop game, I finally succumbed to the hobby’s temptation and decided to embark on the daunting task of building my own army of Grey Knights – a task that, due to the nature of model assembly and painting, presents its own accessibility challenge.
My foray into Games Workshop’s Warhammer IP first began in 2016 with the release of...
Destiny players have taken to the Marathon Steam page to voice their frustrations with negative reviews, but Bungie fans have already started fighting back with their own countercampaign.
What appears to be the makings of a small review-bombing campaign follows yesterday's news that developer Bungie would launch the final Destiny 2 content update this June. With no Destiny 3 in sight, many suspected the Destiny universe would come to an abrupt end after 12 years so the studio could shift its resources to its recently launched extraction-shooter revival, Marathon.
Disappointment crept into the Marathon Steam page today, leading to an influx of negative reviews from users explicitly mentioning Destiny in some fashion. Most of these same...
Although Final Fantasy 11 turns 24 this year, the MMORPG enjoyed a big boost in concurrent player count thanks to the successful Final Fantasy 14 crossover event. In light of this unexpected rise in popularity, FF11’s current director Yoji Fujito talked about what’s next for the online game, suggesting that a brand new area and story could be in the pipeline.
In a recent Famitsu interview, Fujito hinted that the team might be able to add new areas and storylines to FF11. However, he explained that technical issues and a shortage of staff means that they can’t just simply add a new area onto the 24 year old online game ASAP.
Although FF11 has been moving its aging physical servers to virtual servers, this initiative is to ensure the...
It’s a busy time for Warhammer 40,000 video games. The recent Warhammer Skulls showcase included a long list of reveals and updates, confirming that Warhammer 40,000 fans will have plenty to choose from in the coming year or so. Perhaps the two most-anticipated Warhammer 40,000 games are Dawn of War IV and Total War: Warhammer 40,000, both PC-focused strategy games that, while very different, share a common language and, to the casual observer, look similar. But with both Dawn of War IV developer King Art Games and Total War: Warhammer 40,000 developer Creative Assembly hoping for long-term success with their games and potentially years of DLC support, is there room for both?
I put that question to King Art Games creative director Jan...
Riot Games has stepped in to squash rumors that it is using its Vanguard anti-cheat to "brick" the PCs of players who get caught cheating in its games.
Rumors that the League of Legends and Valorant developer was bringing a permanent end to cheaters spread late yesterday following an X/Twitter post from the company. In response to a separate post about its anti-cheat efforts, Riot posted an image showing a collection of hardware with the message "congrats to the owners of a brand new $6k paperweight."
It was a tongue-in-cheek crack at cheaters that rapidly evolved into rumors that the company had the power to render PCs useless. It took Riot less than a day to clear the air, confirming both that it "would not, and cannot, impact your...

When movie sequels do mostly the same thing as the original, audiences tend not to like it. When a sequel gets bolder, like how Aliens took the universe in a bold new direction and became one of the most beloved sequels of all time as a result, people remember it forever. And while we all appreciate radical new ideas in game sequels, if a game lands on an awesome formula, we’re often perfectly happy when sequels merely build and layer on top of that great core gameplay and give us more of what we already love (Portal 2 being perhaps the all-time Hall of Fame example of this).
Based on my initial hands-on time with Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, the sequel to the PvE third-person co-op shooter that pit you and up to two friends against...
Crimson Desert has yet another update, making more significant improvements to Pearl Abyss’ single-player open world adventure game.
The headline additions with update 1.08.00 (patch notes, courtesy of Steam, are below) are a pond for your camp, a Baby Wyvern as a new pet, and muskets and shotguns for Kliff. But before we get into that, there’s one seemingly innocuous change that I want to zero in on, because it’s going to make my experience playing the game a lot more pleasant.
Added a function that allows you to silence tied-up outlaws.
This really is a bigger deal than it sounds. If you've played Crimson Desert, you’ve probably dabbled in a spot of bounty hunting. You get these wanted posters from towns, then seek out the...

In the new LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight game, you play a "greatest hits" pastiche of the Caped Crusader's iconic moments. Apropos to this, there are numerous minifigure costumes and Batmobiles that you can unlock through gameplay, which span the breadth of Batman's vigilante career.
There are also four physical LEGO sets that – if you purchase them – will unlock their corresponding vehicles in the game. We built three of these four sets, and here are our thoughts, along with photos of each Batmobile, both in real-life and in-game.

After you buy one of these sets, scan the QR code on the front of the instruction booklet. This will...
From Feudal Japan to Ancient Greece to the Italian Renaissance, the Assassin's Creed series has explored many eras over its nearly 20-year run. However, the golden age of piracy from 2013's Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remains an enduring favorite of the series, making it a compelling pick for an overhauled remake that aims to deliver notable upgrades that heighten the pirate adventure.
For Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the developers at Ubisoft Singapore were given the freedom to modernize one of the games from the series' "classic" pre-RPG era with upgrades and flourishes, creating a more seamless open world to explore.
"I think there's still great value with the classic AC experience, personally, for me, I'm both a fan...
Legionnaires rejoice, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, one of the best games of 2024, has dropped to an incredible low price fresh off the heels of Warhammer Skulls 2026. From now until May 28, Humble is offering the PC (Steam) edition for just $17.99, a price savings of 75%. Yes, it's the same price as getting it directly from Steam but there's one additional perk: if you're a Humble Choice member, you'll save an extra 10% off, dropping the price to $16.19.

A new report from Bloomberg claims that Bungie will suffer "significant" layoffs in the near future and that Destiny 3 is not actively in the works. This comes hours after Bungie confirmed that it would be winding down support for Destiny 2 after its next update, which is set to release in June.
Some feared this was a bad sign for Bungie's future, as Destiny 2 is its most popular active game. According to Bloomberg, Bungie leadership was evaluating ways to make Destiny 2 more accessible to new players, but ultimately decided to embrace Marathon and shifted developers and resources to the extraction shooter.
Bungie reportedly plans to continue pitching ideas in the Destiny universe, but there's no guarantee that they will be greenlit...
Fresh from Warhammer Skulls comes confirmation that the well received strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is getting a sequel all about the Deathwatch.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch is developed by Complex Games, the studio behind the first game, and published by Frontier. It’s due out across PC and console, although there’s no release window yet. We do have the debut trailer below.
In the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Deathwatch are a special Chapter of Space Marines known for fighting aliens. They’re unique in that they’re made up of mostly veteran Space Marines from other Chapters, and so (most) of their members wear their original Chapter’s colors on their right pauldron, with the trademark...
Bungie announced earlier today that Destiny 2 support is coming to an end as its next update will be its last. Naturally, fans are pretty upset.
The news come after a tumultuous few years for Bungie. In 2022, Sony acquired Bungie for $3.6 billion and ever since then, things have been rocky. Last year, Sony noted that Bungie was failing to meet expectations when it came to Destiny 2's performance, resulting in a $204 million impairment loss. The losses have continued to pile up, as Sony recently noted a $765 impariment loss following the release of Marathon earlier this year. Now, Bungie is shifting away from Destiny 2 while promising big changes for Marathon.
Fans have responded to the Destiny 2 news with great sadness, fearing this...
All eyes are on GTA 6, but Red Dead Redemption 2 continues its remarkable success, selling more copies in the last year than in any 12-month period since its launch year back in 2018.
Rockstar Games’ masterpiece has now sold an incredible 85 million copies to date (up to March 2026), and while that’s just over a third of the eye-watering 230 million copies GTA 5 has sold, it’s enough to make Red Dead Redemption 2 one of the best-selling games of all time. Indeed, it’s now above Wii Sports as the third best-selling game ever released.
Red Dead Online has always lagged behind its counterpart, GTA Online, not just in terms of updates but revenue, leading some fans to wonder what might have been had Rockstar invested just as heavily in...
Bungie has announced the end of content updates for live service shooter Destiny 2, nearly nine years after launch.
The studio behind Halo, which recently released extraction shooter Marathon, said it will release the final content update for Destiny 2 on June 9, 2026. Destiny 2 will remain playable despite active development ending.
Bungie issued the following statement on social media today:
Destiny 2 support ends following recent committments from both Bungie and its parent company, Sony, on the future of Marathon. There is no mention of a future Destiny video game being in development, nor Marathon itself. Clearly, Bungie wants to keep the conversation on the final updates for Destiny 2 itself.
Bungie's struggles are...
Warhammer 40K was always such a natural pairing with what has come to be called the "boomer shooter" – these crunchy, nostalgic celebrations of ‘90s mayhem that take notes from the likes of old-school Doom, Quake, and Rise of the Triad. The original Boltgun was one of those team-ups that seems so obvious in retrospect that I was almost mad I didn't think of it myself. With Boltgun 2, the couple of levels I played show a desire to evolve a bit beyond those templates, though. It still has the look and feel of all the blood-drenched classics, while dialing up the scope and expanding the environments and character roster.
Retroactive Continuity
Like its predecessor, Boltgun 2 brings the grimy, oppressive reality of the 42nd Millennium to...
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV has a release date, fresh from the Warhammer Skulls 2026 showcase. And while we know the base game will be released this September, we also know what the roadmap of post-launch content and DLC for the following nine months looks like. The headline here is the addition of a fifth playable faction via a campaign expansion, but there’s much more to look forward to.
To coincide with the release date announcement, I sat down for an interview with King Art Games creative director Jan Theysen and senior game designer Elliott Verbiest to dig into the roadmap, try my best to get juicy lore details, and ask about that fifth playable faction. And check out our roundup of everything announced at Warhammer Skulls...
Helldivers 2 is getting a Warhammer 40,000 Legendary Warbond later this year, which finally makes one of its most-requested crossovers a reality.
Ever since Helldivers 2’s explosive launch, fans of Warhammer 40,000 have wondered about a crossover. And it’s easy to see why — Helldivers 2 is the perfect fit for, let’s say, a squad of four Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum pushing back against the alien forces of the Automatons (Necrons) and the Terminids (Tyranids). I mean, Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 40,000 both revolve around cannon fodder doing the dirty work of a fascist regime, right?
In the video, below, Helldivers 2 game director Mikael Eriksson said the two worlds “fit perfectly together,” and that Arrowhead is “full of die hard...
Warhammer Skulls, the annual Warhammer video game showcase, has wrapped up another year's worth of reveals — and on the show’s 10th anniversary we got some big hitters. Dawn of War IV finally got the release date fans have been waiting for, Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters got a sequel announcement, the Skaven have a game all to themselves, Armageddon is coming to Total War: Warhammer 40,000, and there was even the surprise announcement of a Warhammer 40,000 crossover with Helldivers 2.
Read on for all the new game announcements, updates, and trailers fresh from Warhammer Skulls 2026!
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV
Dawn of War IV was at the heart of the big Warhammer Skulls announcements this year. We got a September 17, 2026 release...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 shadowdropped its Purgation Update to coincide with the Warhammer Skulls showcase. Patch 13 is launching now across all platforms.
Patch 13 adds a new PvE mission, a major update to Siege Mode, a new weapon (the Bolt Carbine Sidearm), and the Iron Hands Chapter Pack. There’s also a new Practice Arena in the Battle-Barge.
The Iron Hands Chapter Pack is the last of the First Founding loyalist Chapters to receive a DLC. Available for free to all Season Pass 2 owners, it contains a Techmarine Champion skin, an exclusive Omnissian Axe skin, and four unique, mechanical armour pieces honouring the 10th Legion. The patch notes, courtesy of the Focus Entertainment website, are below.
And here's everything...
