As part of its GDC 2026 news, NVIDIA also provided some updates for GeForce NOW users. Two upcoming games have been confirmed to be available for streaming on day one: Remedy's CONTROL Resonant and Samson: A Tyndalston Story from Liquid Swords. There's little surprise when it comes to the former game. Remedy has always worked closely with NVIDIA on its most recent games, Control and Alan Wake 2, adding NVIDIA RTX like DLSS and ray tracing/path tracing to the PC version and also making the games available on GeForce NOW. Indeed, today, NVIDIA confirmed that CONTROL Resonant will also support […]

Not even a couple of weeks after the New York state's Attorney General announced a lawsuit against Valve for their gambling-like loot boxes in games such as Counter-Strike 2, the Steam owner is about to be hit by another lawsuit, this time on the other side of the "pond" (where it already faces a £656 million class-action lawsuit directed to the 30% fee it collects from each game and software distributed on the platform). The Performing Rights Society (PRS), a UK-based music licensing and royalty collection organization that works on behalf of songwriters, composers, and music publishers whenever their music […]

By all accounts, Nioh 3 is a great success for Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo. It was lavished with praise by critics (such as our own Francesco De Meo, who rated it 9.8/10 and called it the best game the Japanese studio has ever made) and fans alike, as confirmed by the fact that it's the fastest-selling game in the trilogy so far. That said, the development team is aware there's further room for improvement. Fumihiko Yasuda, producer for Nioh 3 and studio head of Team Ninja, confirmed as much in a candid interview with Gamesradar: Nioh 3 is a […]

Independent Polish game developer Bloober Team has recently updated its investors on the studio's upcoming lineup, including the freshly announced Layers of Fear 3. The game was teased in mid-February during the franchise's tenth anniversary livestream. Now, though, we have learned that the game won't be developed by one of the internal Bloober Teams; the studio will instead work alongside a partner (although it will still provide significant input, being the franchise holder and creator). The studio was not mentioned explicitly, but odds are they might be fellow Polish studio Anshar, which already worked on Layers of Fear, the "collection" […]

This morning, KONAMI Digital Entertainment announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has surpassed two million units sold as of February 17, 2026, as shown in the celebratory screenshot. The game became a million seller on day one when it launched on Thursday, August 28, merely on the heels of pre-orders. The game took 173 days to get to the second million, though, which isn't great. Still, the fact that KONAMI bothered to send out a press release about it means they must be reasonably happy with the figure. It all depends on the budget of the game; we […]

Late yesterday evening, Valve posted a 2025 Steam retrospective that also included some small but significant tidbits on the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller shipping. As you will certainly recall, their original goal was to ship all three products in early 2026, as confirmed even by AMD CEO Lisa Su. However, shortly after that statement, Valve told consumers that it was forced to delay the timetable on the heels of the ongoing memory and storage crisis and was now targeting the first half of 2026. The new blog post appears to quietly push the shipping window even further. […]

This year's Game Developers Conference (GDC) kicks off next Monday, and a controversy has already emerged following today's LinkedIn outburst by industry veteran Greg Costikyan. First things first, though: context. While not a household name among gamers like Hideo Kojima or Todd Howard, Costikyan is a renowned game designer whose career spans tabletop roleplaying games, board games, wargames, video games (he worked from 2019 to 2023 on Stars Reach, the upcoming sci-fi sandbox MMO by Playable Worlds, as Game Design Lead), and more. He also wrote four novels. A friend of Warren Spector (Ultima, System Shock, Deus Ex, Thief, Epic […]

There's been a major development in the ongoing Ashes of Creation legal battle: Intrepid Studios founder and CEO Steven Sharif has obtained his first legal victory against the board, obtaining a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) from a judge. As a reminder, following the sudden implosion of the game and its removal from Steam, not to mention the fraud accusations levied by one of the game's investors, Sharif was targeted with a lawsuit filed by TFE Games Holdings on February 9, 2026, in the Nevada District Court, Clark County. However, he quickly filed his own lawsuit against Robert Dawson (the major investor behind […]

A few hours ago, IGN kicked off its Forza Horizon 6 IGN First coverage with a 9-minute gameplay video of "scenic driving" across the game's stunning rendition of Japan. The footage covers a cruise from the south of the map through various biomes, into the outskirts of Tokyo, around its fringe, and back north, ending at one of the game's permanent race circuits. These multiple distinct biomes blend into each other nicely, based on the video. IGN clarified that the traffic in the gameplay video was deliberately toned down by Playground Games to help viewers absorb the surroundings and biomes […]

During yesterday's Diablo IV livestream, Blizzard provided a deep dive into the Warlock class coming with the Lord of Hatred expansion and also shared details on the Season of Slaughter that will go live next week. In this article: Everything About The Warlock Class The Warlock, the game's eighth class, was designed as a dark, frontline demonologist rather than a traditional back-row caster. The Warlock is someone who has been through hell (literally), uses demons as brutal tools rather than allies, and isn't above collateral damage. Visually, the main inspiration was the heavy metal culture. The class uses two resources: […]

The CAPCOM Spotlight livestream was pretty stacked with new trailers and even some news, such as PRAGMATA launching a week earlier than expected. Originally scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2026, the action/adventure game based on a new sci-fi IP will debut on Friday, April 17, 2026. There is a little exception to this: in Japan and across Asia, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of PRAGMATA is still launching on the original date of April 24. The CAPCOM Spotlight also debuted a new PRAGMATA trailer showcasing previously unseen locales in the game's lunar setting. These include the moon's surface and a […]

This afternoon, independent Polish developer Reikon Games announced that RUINER 2 is in development for PC. As suggested by the title, it will be a sequel to 2017's twin-stick shooter, which was well-received by fans and critics. RUINER earned an 8 out of 10 score on Wccftech: RUINER is a no-brainer if you are interested in fast-paced action games that require real skill to truly perfect. However, RUINER 2 will be greatly expanded: it will support co-op gameplay and shift its genre to "cyberpunk action RPG". Marek Roefler, Game Director of the sequel at Reikon, said in a statement: We […]

On Wccftech, the game earned an 8 out of 10 score from reviewer Francesco De Meo, who wrote at the time: Despite featuring a very familiar experience inspired by The Legend of Zelda series, Kena: Bridge of Spirits manages to stand out from the competition […]

Remedy Entertainment has already kicked off the marketing campaign for Control RESONANT in earnest. Following the announcement at The Game Awards 2025, the Finnish studio shared the first gameplay trailer during February's State of Play showcase. This week, they've continued to reveal more footage and information about the game. Yesterday, we reported that Remedy has promised a base minimum of 60 frames per second on all platforms, and that the combat gameplay shown demonstrated fast-paced melee-focused action akin to Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. Now, YouTuber Hidden Machine reports that Remedy confirmed Jesse Faden will not be playable at all […]

Today, Bloomberg reports an indirect threat for the Nintendo Switch 2 console coming from the ongoing memory storage crisis. As you probably are already aware of if you're a regular Wccftech reader, the global rush to build artificial intelligence hardware has brought major increases in the price of NAND flash memory: NAND contract prices are forecast to surge by up to 90% in this quarter compared with the previous three-month period, when prices had already spiked by over 30%. This is an issue for the Nintendo Switch 2 because of its limited storage. The hybrid console only has 256GB of […]

Cyprus-based game developer Mundfish has just unveiled the fourth and final Atomic Heart DLC. Titled Blood on Crystal, it will be released on April 16 for all platforms (PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S and X). According to the studio, Atomic Heart fans will experience the "thrilling, high-stakes" conclusion of the first game's narrative in this DLC, in which protagonist P-3 and their comrades must venture deeper than ever before into Facility 3826 to battle CHAR-les and make a final attempt to save humanity from total annihilation.

The Financial Times has published a paywalled report revealing that the US government is presently evaluating whether to compel the giant Chinese gaming publisher Tencent to divest from US gaming companies for national security purposes. Top officials have held internal meetings to assess ​whether Tencent's many investments can be allowed to continue, since they give them access to data on millions of American gamers. A cabinet-level meeting to discuss the matter was scheduled for today, but was postponed due to scheduling conflicts. US President Donald Trump is preparing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in China in April, so presumably, […]

This morning, CAPCOM revealed in a press release that Resident Evil Requiem has already surpassed five million units sold globally in just six days since its February 27 launch. We already had an inkling of the game's excellent commercial performance based on how easily it smashed prior franchise concurrency records on Steam. User reviews on Valve's platform are also Overwhelmingly Positive (96% right now), and the game currently holds the best user score on Metacritic, tied with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Weirdly enough, though, CAPCOM does not boast of Resident Evil Requiem being the fastest-selling franchise entry, even though it […]

Renowned Call of Duty leaker The Ghost of Hope has revealed on X that Activision has legally forced them to stop leaking information about the franchise, likely through a C&D (Cease and Desist) letter. Activision has legally demanded that I stop leaking and disseminating confidential information related to Call of Duty/Activision and I am complying with their demands. Still gonna stick around and chat about Official Call of Duty info and anything not related to leaks/confidential information. Cheers for these past few years. Even the official Call of Duty X account commented on the news. When a COD creator mused […]

One of the most interesting game reveals at The Game Awards 2025, at least in my opinion, was Neon Giant's NO LAW. The new game from the makers of The Ascent is a first person open world shooter that was easy to compare to Cyberpunk 2077, although its developers were quick to address that, clarifying that it's "a lot more intimate" in comparison to CD Projekt RED's game. In a new interview with EDGE magazine (issue 421, April 2026), Neon Giant co-founder and creative director Arcade Berg revealed the true inspiration: immersive simulations. We feel really good about putting this […]

NVIDIA confirmed today that two of the main PC releases due this month, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach by Kojima Productions and Marathon by Bungie, will support the latest second-generation transformer model, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, via the NVIDIA app override.

Now, we know that users will be able to switch the Super Resolution to DLSS 4.5 (which recently beat AMD FSR 4 and even native resolution rendering in a blind test conducted by […]

We might finally have a solid clue of who's working on the long-rumored Fallout: New Vegas remaster: it's Iron Galaxy, which has dropped a pretty heavy-handed tease on LinkedIn: a "Please Stand By" picture from a Fallout game with the background of a bright desert environment and the following accompanying statement: Today’s our February company meeting. It’s time to catch up with what the company’s been up to and what’s coming up next for IG. The Chicago-based game developer, which is very fond of its independence, has released a few original titles in the past, including Wreckateer, Divekick, Extinction, and […]

Next week, French developer Spiders (a subsidiary of the ailing publisher NACON since 2019) will launch the game GreedFall: The Dying World, originally called GreedFall II, out of early access. It's a delicate time for the company, between the mixed reception to the early access version of The Dying World and the tensions within the studio in late 2024 that led to a strike and, eventually, to higher wages for employees. A few months ago, Spiders also laid off most of the animation team, probably because there was no more work to be done on GreedFall: The Dying World in […]
