As Manhattan continues to experience supernatural unexplained incidents, IGN has been sent a video secretly leaked by an anonymous source at the FBC, the Federal Bureau of Control. Kept hidden from the public for decades, the FBC’s main charter is to investigate so-called "paranatural phenomena."…
Minecraft is no stranger to simulations, but it turns out that under the right conditions, the game can beat itself... if given billions of years. This was discovered by YouTuber RedLogic, who built a custom Minecraft simulation to see if the game could ever beat itself without a player ever…
Marvel StudiosSometimes art imitates life, like when Iman Vellani started as a real-world Marvel fan before she was cast as Ms. Marvel, a character obsessed with heroes in-universe. But sometimes life imitates life, like when Disney+ announced that its Daredevil reboot, Daredevil: Born Again, would…

Goodbye story mode, hello story mode After a rip-roaring start for The Blood of Dawnwalker (one that has seen a bit of pushback against its timer mechanic, and an apparent confirmation of a sequel being in the works), developer Rebel Wolves are gearing up for the game's first big update, one…
Undead Labs has confirmed that State of Decay 3 is still in development after the studio separated from Xbox, becoming an independent, employee-owned developer. Undead Labs shared this information in a September 22 blog post, where they revealed that State of Decay 3 is currently in alpha, with…
Current and former devs respond Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that they were trying to sell UK-based Hellblade creators Ninja Theory as part of their steady efforts to siphon larger, shinier doubloons from the Xbox gaming business by laying off thousands of people. Today, they are…
Ubisoft has discussed how it is bracing for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, and plans to reward Rainbow Six Siege players who stick around "like kings and queens." Despite still being several months away, the impact of GTA 6's launch this November is already being felt throughout the video game…
My most formative experience with the Rayman franchise, for better or worse, is a distant but glittering memory of the 2006 game Rayman Raving Rabbids. I can’t remember much, but when I later returned to the series to play Rayman Origins, I’m sorry Rayman fans, but I couldn’t really get on with it.…
Michael Kovac/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesI’m flying through the Lucas Museum’s ground-level exhibit — “Heroes, Myths, The Sacred” — when I hear the statement that stops me dead in my tracks. “This just doesn’t feel like Lucas,” a disgruntled patron mutters to his party as they drift…
Crimson Desert’s upcoming Charting The Unknown DLC has had its ban extended to two further regions. It was previously revealed that the expansion will no longer launch in the United Arab Emirates, having been banned from the region, with users who have already pre-ordered set to be refunded. It’s…
Key Preview Takeaways: The remake looks good, but not necessarily better than the 2D original it updates. It's got new content to add on to what's already here, along with an entire other Rayman game bundled with it. It still plays really well as a pure platformer. I’m going to get my most…
The first game that will be joining PlayStation Plus for the month of October 2026 has been confirmed earlier than normal. As of this month, PlayStation has brought a number of notable titles to the various tiers of PS Plus. While the free games for September have included the likes of MLB The Show…
IMAGE COURTESY OF SONY PICTURES. It only took Resident Evil eight movies and a streaming TV show to finally settle on one that almost everyone seems to like. As such, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil can be something of a role model for franchises that seem to have exhausted their chances and their…
Halo Studios now a support studio for existing Halo games For decades, Halo developers have resisted the influence of the vastly better-selling Call of Duty shooters. Now, the makers of Call of Duty own Halo. As part of Microsoft's on-going axing-down of their Xbox gaming business, the company have…
Key Preview Takeaways: It's a much darker art style and tone than we've been used to from Hoyoverse. Nodusfall doesn't have Devil May Cry-type combat, but it does make you feel cool while in combat. It's definitely not a soulslike (in a good way). They told us that the Maldrake, the last of the…
(Image credit: Paradox) Crusader Kings 3 will finally let us play as the pope in the By God Alone expansion, launching on September 30. The power! The pageantry! The blood boys! Wait, what? OK, so history has given us a lot of weird pope stories. One of them relates to the declining health of Pope…
Heritage Auctions/The Roddenberry Foundation/MIT MuseumThe Enterprise has risen. In 1964, model maker Richard C. Datin constructed the first physical incarnation of the most famous fictional starship of all time. Designed by artist Matt Jefferies, the aesthetic of the Enterprise, overseen by Gene…
Meanwhile, Ninja Theory look set for closure Well, there you go. Xbox have enacted a second round of layoffs and internal upheaval this year, following July's initial shooting of 1600 staff into the sun and parting ways with multiple studios. This time, 268 staff have been let go, while a bunch of…
"1917. But like it's completely different in tone. But that is structurally maybe the closest. It's like if Evil Dead 2 and 1917 were it's parents, but that doesn't feel right. Like if those movies loved each other very much." (via Rotten Tomatoes). Yeah, I totally see that. The link to 1917 hadn't…
Ever since Blizzard revealed World of Warcraft: Forever at Blizzcon 2026, the company has been laser-focused on maintaining its Classic+ identity, even if that means not implementing some quality-of-life features the game's retail version has had for years. In a reply to GingiTV and Nobbel87, two…
Xbox has shut down one of its more prominent video game studios, Ninja Theory, the developer behind Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, while reportedly cancelling its new Hellblade sequel ahead of its planned 2027 launch. Before Microsoft acquired Ninja Theory in 2018, the…
Warner Bros.American Vandal remains one of the best shows of the streaming era. The Netflix comedy created by Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda took its dumb and crass premise and turned it into a clever, surprisingly empathetic breakdown of the high school social hierarchy. And soon they will take…
Xbox has today announced a mass reorganization of its studios that will most prominently see the Halo franchise now moving under the Activision banner. Earlier this year, Xbox enacted hundreds of layoffs across its various studios and departments as part of a massive “reset” that the company was…
