There has always been this disconnect for me when it came to the Forza Horizon series. After you complete the prologue, which is just a series of races to set the stage, there is always this moment. Your character arrives to meet with the somewhat local character designated for this game. They then give you a vague spiel about how beautiful the country this game is set in is, how much culture they have, and how amazing the people are. These are vague, nondescript platitudes, but they have to be; otherwise, you might start to ask questions when moments later…

During the Warhammer Skulls 2026 event, it was announced that the strategy title Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters will be getting a sequel. Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch is being developed by Complex Games, the studio behind the previous title, with Frontier serving as publisher for the game. No release date was set for the game during the game’s announcement trailer, but it will be released for console and PC. The official blurb for the game can be read below: In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch’s…

The first Harvest Moon I ever played was Back to Nature, back in ’99. It’s hard to measure the milestones you pass as you are speeding past them, and I was a bit crazy back then. A game where you don’t kill people, solve puzzles, or save the world? Crazy. There I was, on my happy little farm in the middle of nothing and nowhere, growing a batch of pineapples because a friend at school told me that was where the money was. It has been twenty-seven years since that fateful moment, and nothing has changed, except now I am…

Helldivers II will be receiving a Warhammer 40,000 Legendary Warbond later on this year, as announced at Warhammer Skulls 2026, fulfilling one of the most requested crossovers that fans have been clamoring for. Since the release of Helldivers II, a title that explores ultranationalist patriotism through a 4-player PVE experience, players have seen it as a perfect vehicle for Warhammer characters like Astra Militarum or Necrons from a sci-fi world that suffers from an equal amount of ultranationalist faction controls. Obviously, Helldivers II game director Mikael Eriksson agrees with fans, stating that the two worlds indeed do “fit perfectly together,”…

Bungie has announced an end to content updates for its live-service title, Destiny 2. The title launched nearly nine years ago. The studio, which recently released the extraction shooter Marathon, stated that players can expect the final content update for Destiny 2 to go live on June 9, 2026. Despite active development coming to an end for the game, the servers will remain live, and the game playable, for at least the foreseeable future. Bungie issues a press statement via social media, which we will list below: For almost 12 years, we have had the joy and honor to explore…

Warhorse Studios, the developer behind the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series of medieval RPG games, has confirmed that they have two new projects in development. The first of these was rumored since late last year, with Warhorse being rumored to be attached since March, and is an RPG game based on the Lord of the Rings title.

In a post via social media, the studio, which is owned by the Embracer Group, confirmed the rumors that…

One of the main advertised features of Forza Horizon 6 was the shifting seasons that would change the Japanese locale. Now that the game is out, and we are finally free to race the streets of Tokyo City and its surrounding countryside, you might have noticed that the game is currently in Spring, with Cherry Blossoms in full bloom. You might be wondering, though, how to change seasons? The short answer is you don’t. Forza Horizon 6 Season Schedule Forza Horizon 6 features seasons on a rotation schedule, with them changing each week on Thursday. Not only does the opportunity…

Ubisoft has promised they plan to release new entries in their Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon series, all by the end of March 2029. Reporting on their fiscal results, Ubisoft stated plans to deliver on a more diverse and significantly stronger content pipeline across both the 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 fiscal years, and releases in these franchises would support that goal.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales feels like classic Square Enix in all the best ways, even with the flaws along the way. One of the best things Square Enix has done is their demo strategy. Almost every game they are set to release gets a demo a month early. This lets players literally start the game, wading through the exposition-heavy opening of the title, with progress that carries over, putting you ahead when the game comes out. There is a benefit here, from a traditional sense, to letting players go hands-on with a game they might be on…
