Rumors and hopes regarding a Chrono Trigger remake have been raised again over the past week, driven by recent comments from Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii which do not deny nor confirm the existence of such a project.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Chrono Trigger. As a result, Square Enix has launched various projects to celebrate the classic RPG. This includes a brand new album featuring piano arrangements of character themes, a character popularity poll (Frog took the top spot, as reported by Famitsu), and orchestral concerts to be held in Japan next January.
However, this sudden celebration of Chrono Trigger after very little fanfare about the cult classic has prompted speculation that Square Enix is leading up to a...

Arrowhead has released Helldivers 2 update 5.0.0, which makes big balance changes that actually raise weapon damage — but there’s also an incoming message from High Command that has the community worried.
Update 5.5.0 arrives alongside the jungle-themed Python Commandos Warbond, which adds a number of fan-requested weapons including a minigun.
But it’s the incoming message from High Command — an in-universe tease from Arrowhead to the Helldivers 2 community on what’s in store — that has raised eyebrows.
“Super Earth has detected strange signals from previously unmonitored worlds on the Galactic map,” the message reads. “The Ministry of Intelligence is investigating the source of the signals. Helldivers, be vigilant and hold the high...
A Fortnite artist has been forced to defend their work after fans suggested numerous images found within the game's new season are AI-generated, including a suspicious-looking poster showing a character in a hammock with an odd number of toes.
Last night, freelance artist Sean Dove took to Instagram in response to fan claims that his Studio Ghibli-style depiction of Back to the Future hero Marty McFly was the product of AI generation. Dove, a frequent Fortnite collaborator, showed off his manual process for drawing the image. But while he drew the Ghibli-esque main character himself, Dove admitted he may still have inadvertantly included AI elements in the background.
"I guess someone on reddit thinks this was AI," Dove wrote. "I...
Megabonk may have withdrawn itself for consideration for best indie game at next week's The Game Awards 2025, but it's now long-listed as one of 30 fan-favorite games in the running for the Players' Voice category.
Megabonk was nominated for Best Debut Indie, alongside Blue Prince, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Despelote, and Dispatch. Developer Vedinad, however, withdrew their game from The Game Awards in mid-November, saying it didn't qualify for the category, as Megabonk was not their debut game.
"It's an honor and a dream for Megabonk to be nominated for TGA, but unfortunately, I don't think it qualifies for the category 'Debut Indie Game,'" the developer said at the time. "I've made games in the past under different studio names...
The original director of Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell remake, David Grivel, has returned to recommence his role as director on the game after leaving Ubisoft in 2022.
Grivel confirmed the news himself in a post on LinkedIn (via GamesRadar).
“Today, I am very, very happy to announce that I’m rejoining Ubisoft Toronto as Game Director on the Splinter Cell Remake!” wrote Grivel, noting the team and project are very special to him.
Grivel previously worked at Ubisoft for just over a decade, from 2011 to 2022. Prior to his brief initial tenure as director on the Splinter Cell remake he contributed as a game designer on a variety of projects, including Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Far Cry Primal, Far Cry 4, and Far Cry 5...
Justin Lin is set to direct the upcoming film adaptation of Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lin is best known for his work on a number of Fast & Furious movies, and was the director of the series from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in 2006 until Fast & Furious 6 in 2013.
It won’t mark the first time Lin has set his sights on outer space, as he also directed Star Trek Beyond in 2016 – and later returned to the Fast & Furious series to direct 2021’s F9 (in which he sent Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson into literal orbit in a 1984 Pontiac Fiero).
The Helldivers movie has been written by Gary Dauberman, the writer of several Annabelle films and The Nun – as well as the co-writer of...
I've been annoyingly busy lately, and haven't had as much time as I would have liked to dive into World of Warcraft's housing feature, which is now live in the World of Warcraft: Midnight beta. So even though I've now had multiple tours of its features and possibilities at this point, I was blown away when I poked my head into the community and saw this:
And this:
And, holy smokes, this:
Come on. There's no way we're going to be able to make that! Well, okay, maybe no way I, a deeply mediocre interior decorator, will be able to make that.
Nevertheless, early testing for housing in WoW is proving to be quite the success. In fact, amid a lot of controversy around both add-on removal and transmog, it's nice that there's one new...
Cyber Monday has officially landed, and with it a stellar price drop on God of War Ragnarök for PS5. Ragnarök, which is a 10/10 masterpiece by IGN's reckoning, is just $19.99 at Best Buy and Target, a whopping $50 discount from its original list price of $69.99 and one of the best Cyber Monday deals we've seen so far.
God of War Ragnarök (PS5) for $20
In IGN's review, Simon Cardy called the game "an enthralling spectacle to behold," and "a complete work of art from top to bottom." That's a pretty winning argument for it, so why wait any longer to grab it? This 64% discount may not last beyond today, so now's the time.
Have a look through our breakdown of the best PS5 Cyber Monday deals to see more of our top picks for Cyber Monday...
Depending on who you talk to, beat ‘em ups are either repetitive, button-mashy coin munchers or a deceptively simple vehicle for absolute combat mastery. Me? I’m in the latter camp. But how do you get people who aren’t sickos like myself interested? How do you lure them into taking the first steps down Sicko Road? This year’s Absolum tried by merging a mechanically excellent beat ‘em up with a middling roguelite. Marvel Cosmic Invasion developer Tribute Games – the cats behind Shredder’s Revenge, the best TMNT game since Turtles in Time– takes a different approach. It looks to the Marvel vs. Capcom fighting games of old and asks one of the boldest questions I’ve seen a beat ‘em up pose in a New York minute: what if it was a tag game...
IO Interactive is busy working on James Bond video game 007 First Light, but it has said it also has plans to release Hitman 4.
In an interview with Variety, CEO Hakan Abrak said “of course there will be more Hitman.” But it may be some time before Hitman 4 comes out. Abrak said that any talk of a Hitman 4 announcement will have to wait until Hitman co-op arrives in World of Assassination, which continues to enjoy support via DLC from the studio.
“So of course there will be more Hitman,” Abrak said. “But right now, I think we need to get to the other side of this year and next year you’ll get more news about Hitman co-op, because I think co-op is a really, really good extension to the universe, and will introduce very interesting...
Jennifer Hale has opened up on PlatinumGames' controversial decision to hire her and replace original voice actor Hellena Taylor for Bayonetta 3, admitting, "I definitely got thrown under the bus by that whole thing."
Just ahead of the third instalment of Hideki Kamiya's stylish action game series, PlatinumGames revealed that Taylor — who voiced Bayonetta in the first two games — wouldn’t return, and would instead be portrayed by Hale.
“Various overlapping circumstances made it difficult for Hellena Taylor to reprise her role,” Platinum said at the time. “We held auditions to cast the new voice of Bayonetta and offered the role to Jennifer Hale, whom we felt was a good match for the character."
In 2022, Taylor released a thread of...
CD Projekt is sticking to its ambitious plan to release all three video games in the new Ciri-fronted The Witcher trilogy within a six-year period.
Speaking during a recent financial call, joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said that future The Witcher video games “should be delivered in a shorter period of time.” That’s because CD Projekt has switched to Unreal Engine 5 for the full production of not only The Witcher 4, but The Witcher 5 and 6.
Here’s Nowakowski’s quote in full:
"We’ve been using UE5 for The Witcher 4 for almost four years now, and we’re very happy with what we’ve achieved. I think you could have seen some of that with your own eyes with our tech demo reveal at Unreal Fest couple of months ago, and we’re very happy with...
Where Winds Meet players are taking a novel approach to solving riddles by… simply telling the game's AI-powered chatbot NPCs that they have solved the game's riddles.
The Wuxia open-world action-adventure RPG set in ancient China only debuted on PC and PlayStation 5 on November 14, but players are already finding creative — and highly amusing — ways to make use of the game's chatbot NPCs.
As reported by PCGamesN, Where Winds Meet features chatbot NPCs that dish out side quests. Complete those quests and the NPC will become more friendly, and even send you the odd gift. Indeed, Where Winds Meet's player and NPC relationships feature revolves around this AI chatbot feature.
As perfectly demonstrated by u/Kamijoan in the Where Winds...
The free-to-play NetEase-published Wuxia adventure, Where Winds Meet, has topped 9 million players in just two weeks.
The open-world action-RPG debuted on PC and PlayStation 5 on November 14, and hit a peak concurrent player count of 251,000 on Steam (Sony does not make player numbers public). Over 89% of the game's 70,000+ Steam reviews are positive, too.
A mobile version is due out on December 12. Offering full cross-play and shared progress, you'll be able to dip into the action wherever you are, with "a portable Jianghu in the palm of your hand." If that sounds good to you, you can pre-register for mobile (iOS or Android) right here.
IGN's Where Winds Meet review returned a 6/10. We said: "Where Winds Meet has a great...
Geoff Keighley has kicked off his annual The Game Awards tease with social media posts that reportedly relate to a Diablo 4 expansion.
Host Keighley took to social media to show a picture of a demonic monolith located in the Mojave Desert alongside location details.
The caption of the tweet leads to the monolith above, alongside its real-world location in the Mojave Desert. As you’d expect, people tracked it down and uploaded footage to social media.
Overnight, the monolith lit up, giving off hellish Diablo vibes.
Amid all that, Windows Central reporter Jez Corden took to social media to say the tease related to an expansion for Blizzard’s action role-playing game, Diablo 4. Blizzard had said Diablo 4 was set to get an expansion...
With the advent of gaming PC handhelds, your entire library of PC games is at your fingertips. Now you can play Steam games like Clair Obscur, Hades, Silksong, or Ball x Pit on a device that's not much bigger than a Switch console. For Cyber Monday, select SteamOS gaming handhelds - including the Steam Deck - are on sale. One is even priced a bit lower than on Black Friday. SteamOS is more intuitive to use on a handheld than Windows and I would recommend it for anyone who wants an easy, hassle-free experience that plays most games with minimal tinkering and little technical know-how.
Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS Edition
New lower Cyber Monday price at Lenovo!

Amazon has been dropping new book deals since Black Friday, and one of the most popular discounts available has been on The Witcher books. Andrzej Spkowski's Witcher series is the basis for the entire phenomenon. The popularity of the series may have been elevated by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the Netflix series, but its the original story that has inspired the dark fantasy world we've come to love.
The latest Cyber Monday deal on this box set drops the price down to just $33.79 for the whole paperback set. This is a lower price than what we saw last week when the buy 2, get 1 free sale was still live, so it's worth picking up as an individual set before the deals end tomorrow.

Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced that 10.5 million players just tuned in for Zero Hour, the highly-anticipated live event that featured heroes from the world's biggest franchises turning up Avengers: Endgame-style to save the day. Online, at least 3 million more watched the event via streaming platforms.
Iron Man, Superman, Godzilla and the KPop Demon Hunters were just some of the characters who made appearances within the event, as Fortnite's finest gathered to defeat the Dark Presence, the game's latest Big Bad. Many of the characters appearing in the event had been teased ahead of time, though exactly what would happen was left uncertain. And indeed, despite going multiple rounds with King Kong and a Star Destroyer, the...
Steam is running a Black Friday sale for the first time ever this year. Yet despite some of its great deals, key platforms Green Man Gaming and Fanatical are both having Black Friday sales of their own. Below are some of the best you can find this weekend.
The Best Black Friday Deals at Green Man Gaming
Green Man Gaming has sales running for multiple publishers, including PlayStation, Bethesda, and Konami. Of these, one of the best deals available is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered for $28.47. This Virtuos-developed remaster was made in Unreal Engine 5, allowing Oblivion to be recreated with striking visual fidelity.
Another Bethesda game on heavy discount is Doom: The Dark Ages, which released this past May. This prequel...
We did it, people. We made it to the end of 2025. December is always an interesting one for games. Plenty of folks will be picking up new titles thanks to holiday gifts and those glorious end-of-year sales, but it’s also one of the quieter months for actual releases.
Even with the slowdown, we’re still getting some incredible-looking games. A few of these might even catch you off guard. But let’s stop beating around the bush (presents need wrapping, food needs digesting) so let’s dive into the list. Consider this your cheat sheet for what to ask for money to buy when someone has absolutely no clue what to get you.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion – 1st December
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is the latest beat ’em up from the powerhouse genre...
Team Cherry has revealed it’s thinking about making a brand new game rather than a Hollow Knight 3 — but admitted that their only time concern is “death.”
Co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen took seven years to make Silksong, the hotly anticipated follow-up to breakout hit Hollow Knight — although they didn’t plan to. During a sweeping interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, in which the duo confirmed plans for Silksong DLC, talk turned to what’s next.
It sounds like Team Cherry has yet to decide whether to make Hollow Knight 3 or a brand new video game, but Gibson and Pellen are thinking about how much time they have left to make video games at all.
“... we do have other games that we plan to make,” Gibson said. “The only...
Elden Ring has gotten one of the best video game discounts that's popped up during this year's Black Friday sale. At the moment, the base game on PS5 is down to $19.99 at Amazon, while the Xbox Series X version is down to just $15 – its lowest price yet.
That's not all, though, as the Shadow of the Erdtree edition for PS5, usually listed with a huge $79.99 price tag, has dropped back to its lowest price yet of $39.99. Tarnished, if you've yet to become Elden Lord, now is the best time to do it.
Elden Ring Black Friday Deals
Elden Ring won Game of the Year back in 2022 – and earned a glowing 10/10 IGN review, to boot. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion also earned a 10/10 review score from IGN. Needless to say, they're both...
If you're looking for a power bank that can handle the demands of even the latest and most power hungry gaming handhelds at a great price, check out this popular Black Friday deal. Amazon is offering the Baseus 20,800mAh Power Bank with 145W of Power Delivery for just $40 shipped after applying coupon code "Q4PSW5C3". You don't need to be a Prime member. Baseus makes good power banks and I recommend them as a less expensive alternative to Anker.
Baseus 20,800mAh 145W Power Bank for $40
The Baseus power bank has a 20,800mAh or 77Whr battery capacity. Factoring in a roughly 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks), this power bank will charge a Steam Deck (40Whr) or Asus ROG Ally (40Whr) from empty to...
We finally have our first look at Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s new class, the Techmarine, as well as an image of its Omnissian Axe.
Publisher Focus Entertainment released one screenshot of the Omnissian Axe, below, as well as an image showing off the Techmarine model from multiple angles.
The Techmarine is set to hit Saber Interactive’s explosive third-person action game as part of Patch 12 early next year. Its Omnissian Axe is a new melee weapon — a halberd-style weapon that comes with its own set of unique animations, finishers and progression, Focus confirmed in a blog post.
Meanwhile, the Techmarine has a Servo-Gun ability. Activating it will enable the gun to automatically engage enemies. The new class also has a passive...
Amazon has dropped its new LEGO deals for Black Friday, which includes the intricately-designed 2,651-piece Pac-Man Arcade set, currently down to $188.99 (30% off), its lowest price ever according to camelcamelcamel. If you've had your eye on other sets, make sure to check out other retailers like Target or go directly LEGO to see its specific Black Friday deals.
LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade On Sale For Black Friday
Licensed LEGO gaming builds are plentiful these days, and the more than 12-inch high, 10-inch wide Pac-Man Arcade set is one of the most detailed and impressive we've ever assembled, and filled with a ton of Easter eggs. By turning the crank on the side, the Pac-Man and Ghosts on the screen will actually move, and the figures...
Hollow Knight: Silksong developer Team Cherry has confirmed it’s working on DLC — but it doesn’t know when it will come out.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Team Cherry co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen said that while the developers do not plan to take “an excessive amount of time” building this new content for Silksong, “we still are pursuing the same development philosophy, which sometimes can expand our timeframe.”
It took seven years for Silksong to come out, so who knows when this mystery DLC will be released? But Team Cherry did tease it will feature the Steel Assassin, a character shown in a prior trailer but who has yet to show up in Silksong itself.
Here’s the relevant exchange with Bloomberg reporter Jason...
30 years ago, LEGO made its tentative first step beyond physical toys with the launch of Fun to Build, a Japanese-only game for the largely forgotten Sega Pico console. Three decades later, the mighty LEGO brand's video game ambitions are now a diverse empire all of its own, a set of digital experiences designed to cater to diverse and tastes.
And for good reason — because as anyone who follows video games knows, the industry's growth has also come alongside massive change, including an ongoing shift in how players access and own games — and a generational difference in why they're so important.
For many, the idea of a LEGO video game is something still synonymous with the prolific output of TT Games, the British development studio...
For gamers who have been patiently hold out on any stellar deals on handheld gaming PCs, I have good news and bad news. The bad news, there aren't very many deals. The good news, the few deals to choose from happen to be excellent. They're also exclusively available at Best Buy. That's right, Best Buy is the one and only retailer who has discounted the Lenovo Legion Go SteamOS handheld gaming PCs as part of its Black Friday Sale. In fact, both Z2 Go and Z1 Extreme models are on sale today at the lowest prices of the year. These deals are good enough that I don't expect them to drop on Cyber Monday.
Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS Edition
This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with the more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme...
A new batch of discounted games has just landed in PlayStation's 2025 Black Friday sale. Now these newbies are pure-breed Black Friday, cream of the crop, proper pick em' up before they never appear again kind of deals. Honestly, they remind me of Black Friday sales from five years ago.
To make sense of the chaos, the deals are split into two buckets: the fresh 2025 heavy hitters and the rest of the essential PS5 releases from the console's almost five-year run.
Right now, my top picks are from the 2025 bin, with Borderlands 4 and Battlefield 6 dropping to just $35, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater hitting $30. Let's see what else is up for grabs as well.
2025 PS5 Games on Sale for Black Friday
