A few hours ago, a rumor started circulating about Insomniac Games canceling the leaked Venom standalone game. The rumor originated from a fairly credible source: Nadji Jeter, the voice actor of Miles Morales in the Spider-Man games, claimed as much in an interview with YouTube channel Love it Film. Let me give y'all an exclusive. We were going to have a Venom game. Yeah, we were going to have a Venom game and a Venom DLC, but we lost Tony Todd. They showed me how it was going to start. They showed me how everything was going to be. It […]

Gang of Dragon, the new game by YAKUZA creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, might be in serious danger of being canceled. As spotted on Reddit, the official YouTube channel and trailers have been suddenly deleted. The Steam page is still up, though, the last flicker of hope that the game's development might continue. Gang of Dragon was unveiled just a few months ago, at The Game Awards 2025, but it was admittedly already in trouble. After his departure from SEGA in 2021, Nagoshi founded a new studio with NetEase's help the following year. However, in early 2025, reports began circulating that NetEase […]

It looks like the rumored new Game Pass tier will be officially called Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition. The leak came from the Discord datamining GitHub, and that's because, apparently, this version of Game Pass will soon be bundled with the Discord Nitro subscription. The following lines were discovered by the dataminers: This is supposedly the Triton/Duet tier that was previously datamined via Xbox Cloud Gaming by @redphx, the author of Better xCloud, a free and open-source tool that improves the Xbox Cloud Gaming and Remote Play experiences. In fact, Redphx also spotted the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition name […]

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced can comfortably be described as the worst-kept secret in gaming history, with its long story of rumors and leaks of all kinds. The official reveal is here at last, though, and it's juicy. The presentation opened with Matt Ryan (who was among the "leakers" last year), the voice actor of protagonist Edward Kenway, confirming that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a faithful remake, not a reinvention. It is entirely rebuilt from the ground up using the latest version of Ubisoft's Anvil engine while preserving the original story and character arc. Notably, the original game will remain available after the […]

South Korean-Japanese developer NEXON has announced a new PC game called Embers of the Uncrowned. It's an isometric dark fantasy MMORPG developed by a team of self-described "hardcore MMORPG veterans" with a deep passion for the genre, set on a continent ravaged by an elven invasion.

Earlier this month, we reported that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie by Nintendo and Universal's Illumination set the biggest theatrical debut of 2026 in the United States. However, maintaining momentum across all territories was far from a given, especially with the rather scathing reviews from film critics. Now, according to data collected by IMDbPro's Box Office Mojo, it appears that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the highest-grossing film released this year, with nearly $756 million grossed across all territories. It's an almost even split: $361,825,355 earned in the United States (47.9%) and $393,990,000 earned elsewhere (52.1%), with Mexico leading […]

Today, South Korean developer Pearl Abyss released Crimson Desert patch 1.04 on nearly all platforms (Mac users will have to wait until a later time). This update adds most of the enhancements and features outlined a couple of weeks ago in the official roadmap, except for boss rematches, which will be released in a future patch. Three difficulty modes (Easy, Normal, and Hard) have been added under Settings > Play. Easy reduces damage taken, lowers enemy stats, and extends Parry/Dodge windows. Normal is unchanged from the existing gameplay experience. Hard arguably brings the most significant changes: food effects only apply after the full consumption animation completes, […]

Fallout: New Vegas Senior Designer and Writer Chris Avellone talked extensively about the Fallout franchise in a recent interview with YouTuber TKs-Mantis. Avellone (who also worked as a designer on Fallout 2 and on the canceled Van Buren project) claimed that, to his knowledge, Obsidian never provided the full source code of Fallout: New Vegas to Bethesda. Furthermore, as far as he knows, they don't have the knowledge to reassemble it, which constitutes a major problem for the rumored remaster. I don't think Bethesda has the engineering know-how to make a remaster of Fallout: New Vegas at all. And the […]
