FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment have finally announced a Switch 2 release date for Elden Ring.

It sounds as though developer Insomniac's Wolverine game is far narrower in scope than its Spider-Man games. There won't be a wider city to explore in the way Spider-Man swings around New York, nor will there be a base of operations for downtime between missions (any hopes of exploring Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters have been squashed now Insomniac has confirmed the X-Men don't exist here). In Marvel's Wolverine, the adventure is more of a charge from start to finish.

We've known about Hadar, CD Projekt Red's new franchise, for a few years now, but it wasn't until March 2026 the studio "established the foundations" of what it's actually going to be. With only promises and a codename, little is known about its nature, but another nugget of info has just surfaced.

I'm going to start by addressing a game that Sony didn't even deign to mention in last night's PlayStation State of Play broadcast: Grand Theft Auto 6. Except, Sony did sort-of mention it, just in the margins of its showcase. From the very beginning, when it showed off Marvel's Wolverine in a whirlwind of viscera and adamantium and reiterated its 15th September launch, to the final release date of the showcase - 24th September for Control Resonant - you could just about hear a silent klaxon blaring over PlayStation HQ: Grand Theft Auto 6, Grand Theft Auto 6, Grand Theft Auto 6.

Jagex announced, as part of today's PlayStation State of Play showcase, that its survival game RuneScape: Dragonwilds will make series' history and be the first Runescape game to land on consoles - ever.
Original Saints Row design director Chris Stockman has declared the Saints Row franchise is "dead".
I was in the gift shop of a small art gallery the other day when I bought a postcard depicting a bunch of different keys. The postcard turned out to be a reproduction from the six-volume dictionary and encyclopedia Larousse du XXe siècle (me neither) and the keys come in a gorgeous range of shapes and sizes. The Roman key is broad and boot-shaped. The Merovingian looks like part of a crank.

Bethesda Game Studios boss Todd Howard has flattened hope for a major Starfield overhaul by stating that the long-awaited update in development "is not Starfield 2.0".

Pokémon Pokopia is almost here, and we're confident it might be a hit, especially after learning Minecraft-like persistent servers are part of the game. Now we're just hoping it delivers on all its promise when it launches on 5th March. Wanna get more hyped tho?

So, we know Pokémon Pokopia is looking impressive so far, and we've also been told it's a pretty long game even if you aren't planning on sticking around after the credits roll. With so much to do and a multiplayer option that's promising one of the most relaxing experiences of the year, how do its online functionalities work exactly?

It's tempting to believe that the Diablo 3 playerbase has been eclipsed by a resurgent Diablo 2: Resurrected on one side, and Diablo 4 on the other, but according to Blizzard, that's not the case. Apparently there's still a "massive" playerbase playing Diablo 3, and it counts players in the "millions".

Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin would probably be quite surprised by how the world of Elden Ring - which he helped developer FromSoftware create a backstory for - actually turned out in the end.

January is the month that, where I live, in the south of England, everyone gets serious again. All the paraphernalia of Christmas - all the merriment and cheer and colourful lighting - is cleared away in favour of sobering goals for the year ahead. It's never something that's appealed strongly to me, making goals, but I do feel the allure of wiping a slate clean and starting again. It's like a run in a roguelike game, I like to think. Time for a new me.

The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) and Rockstar Games have traded more blows following a preliminary tribunal hearing this week. There, the IWGB asked a judge to grant the fired Grand Theft Auto 6 developers interim relief.

The analyst who forecasted a Witcher 3 expansion release in 2026 has told me they're "100 percent certain [CD Projekt Red] will release significant new content this year".

More than five years after its troubled original release, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be one of the most relevant open-world RPGs of the modern era. Much of its success comes from the believable relationships it quickly establishes between its key characters and V, but the pre-disaster prologue with preem choom Jackie was never meant to go on for too long.

Polish developer Rebel Wolves has unveiled the main musical theme for its promising dark fantasy role-playing The Blood of Dawnwalker, and surprise surprise, it sounds a lot like The Witcher 3.
UPDATE 4.10PM GMT: CD Projekt Red, for what it's worth, has told me it does not comment on rumour or speculation - the company's usual line.

It's been another strange, difficult, and yet somehow also brilliant year for video games in 2025. Triple-A releases have been sparse again, compared to the boom times of old, with a great big GTA 6-shaped hole left in the final few months of the year. And yet once again, every gap left by the established order has been filled twice over with something brilliantly new.
