If only every random scroll through Reddit was as productive as the one that changed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lead writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen’s entire life.  Not too long after ditching the finance world to pursue creative dreams, but in the thick of the COVID-19 lockdown, Svedberg-Yen was wasting away an afternoon on the community forums when she stumbled upon a call from former Ubisoft producer Guillaume Broche for voice-actor help....

Mullet MadJack, the latest title from Hammer95, hit Game Pass in early March and has since held it down for the boomer shooter genre on the jam-packed subscription service. Mullet MadJack is a game that thrives on linear action — a throne that most games have since abdicated. While most shooters nowadays offer tremendous customization, loot, expansive worlds, loot, endless updates, loot, and other “forever-game” mechanics, Hammer95 wants you to...

Nintendo will let Switch 2 owners opt into a setting that stops their system’s battery from charging once it reaches “around 90%” as part of an effort to preserve the system’s battery life. Nintendo revealed the new feature in its Nintendo Today app Monday. “The Nintendo Switch 2 system stops charging when it reaches about 90% remaining battery” with that setting turned on, Nintendo said. “Pausing the charge at around...

Sega promised new Virtua Fighter details this weekend, and with the company revealing a glimpse of Virtua Fighter 6, aka “New Virtua Fighter Project,” back in December, fans expected a smorgasbord of news regarding the forthcoming title. But what the community received was far less expected: Temu Ganondorf. Sunday’s VF Direct 2025 Spring presentation showed off a modernized design for Virtua Fighter veteran Wolf Hawkfield in the form of a...

When Rockstar Games delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 into 2026, it likely came as a big relief to publishers who had anything on their slate for the back half of 2025. But 2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting, crowded year of big game releases, even without GTA 6. In addition to Rockstar’s ambitious new crime epic, we can expect Playground Games’ new Fable (finally!), Housemarque’s Returnal follow-up...

Nintendo is making it harder for consumers to sue in its latest EULA update, which adds a class action waiver in section 16 that prohibits users from filing class action lawsuits against the company. Initially spotted on the Nintendo subreddit and later published by GamesRadar+, the new section of the agreement states: “This arbitration provision precludes you and Nintendo from suing in court, having a trial by jury, or participating...

Well, well, well… it appears Sega has finally decided to bless us with new Virtua Fighter information. On Friday, the company announced that a new Virtua Fighter Direct presentation is scheduled for Sunday, May 11 (the final day of Evo Japan), and will be broadcast on Sega’s official Virtua Fighter YouTube channels. Sega said it will “reveal new developments in the Virtua Fighter series” during Sunday’s VF Direct. Interestingly, Sega...

The upcoming remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 will welcome skater Bam Margera back into the fold, Activision announced Thursday. Margera appeared as a skater in the original versions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, but was not previously confirmed to appear in the remasters. The skater and longtime pal of Tony Hawk will be included as a secret skater, meaning he’ll eventually be unlockable. Margera appeared in...

Doom: The Dark Ages is going to be a love-it-or-hate-it entry in the shooter series. I’ve only been playing the game for a few hours so far, but I already love it. That said, it’s very different from Doom Eternal — and unless you can adjust to a game that feels very different to play, Dark Ages will be a tough hang. But if you’re me, Dark Ages is a...

Eight World Warriors from Street Fighter 6 are coming to Overwatch 2 in May, Blizzard Entertainment announced Friday (as Evo Japan 2025 kicks off in Tokyo). And like past Overwatch 2 collabs, the choices are inspired: Zenyatta will cosplay as Dhalsim, and Sigma will cosplay as M. Bison as part of the Street Fighter crossover. But let’s be honest. It’s probably the Kiriko-cosplaying-as-Juri Legendary skin that you’re going to see...
