After rumours of another set coming last year, LEGO has officially revealed its second The Legend of Zelda set, this time recreating an iconic moment from the series’ most beloved games, Ocarina of Time.

The “Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle” set is indeed the final fight with Ganon in the ruins of Hyrule Castle, with a collapsed castle spire and everything. Luckily, the smaller set is more on the affordable side, as far as LEGO goes, retailing for $129.99. It releases on March 1, 2026, and pre-orders are currently open on the official LEGO store.

The set includes 1003 pieces, minifigures of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf, a buildable giant Ganon, and even a little Navi to accompany the hero. But it sounds like there might be some extra fun little details based on the description, and you can see images below.

“Recreate the final battle scene with movable rubble, a button to raise Ganondorf in the ruins, the hidden Megaton Hammer in the tower, secret Recovery Hearts and more.”

This is the latest step in a bit inatiative to adapt video games into LEGO products. It, of course, joins the previous Great Deku Tree set from Breath of the Wild. But just last week, LEGO also revealed the brand-new line of Pokémon sets, including Eevee, Pikachu, and the Kanto starter evolution (Charizard, Blastoise, and Venesaur). Late last year, the company also released a set of classic Game Boy.

If you’re looking to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, there are really only two ways to do so these days. If you have a Nintendo 3DS, you might be able to hunt down a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D. But the much easier way is with Nintendo Switch Online on both Switch 1 & 2. You just need an Expansion Pass membership to access the Nintendo 64 classics, includingOcarina of Time.

Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity developer Larian Studios held its Reddit AMA (ask me anything) today, after backlash from the studio reportedly using generative AI in the development of its new game. During the lengthy AMA the studio seemingly drew a line in the sand, committing to not using generative AI as part of the concept art process, as well as any of the writing processes for the game.

Larian CEO and co-founder Swen Vincke noted that no current concept art had been created using AI, but that he saw how his comments had been misconstrued. The controversy first started when Vincke did an interview with Bloomberg, where he talked about the studio’s experimentation with AI — seemingly implying it was part of the concept art process.

In the Reddit AMA, Vincke said that it was removing generative AI from the entire concept art process to ensure that players knew all art is original.

“There is not going to be any generative AI art in Divinity,” Vincke writes in the AMA.

“So, to ensure there is no room for doubt, we’ve decided to refrain from using genAI tools during concept art development. That way there can be no discussion about the origin of the art.”

Later in the AMA, Larian writing director Adam Smith says the studio doesn’t “have any text generation touching our dialogues, journal entries, or other writing in Divinity.” Smith does say the team experimented with genAI, but the results were “3/10 at best” and paled even in comparison to his worst human drafts.

However, all this doesn’t mean that Larian has written off genAI entirely.

“Having said that, we continuously try to improve the speed with which we can try things out. The more iterations we can do, the better in general the gameplay is,” Vincke says, “We think GenAI can help with this and so we’re trying things out across departments. Our hope is that it can aid us to refine ideas faster, leading to a more focused development cycle, less waste, and ultimately, a higher quality game.”

“The important bit to note is that we will not generate ‘creative assets’ that end up in a game without being 100% sure about the origins of the training data and the consent of those who created the data. If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it’ll be trained on data we own.”

The AMA is ongoing, so check the full thread for more details.

Divinity is currently in development, and does not have a release date. The studio also recently announced that Baldur’s Gate 3 has sold over 20 million copies to date.

The best Fire Emblem game has finally come to Nintendo Switch Online. The GameCube classic Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance was announced as coming to the service during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, and now it’s finally available for a download.

Originally released on the GameCube in 2005, Path of Radiance has never seen any kind of rerelease or digital version – until now. Physical copies, for years, have sold for hundreds of dollars on sites like eBay, and become increasingly difficult to find. Of course, keep in mind in order to access the game on GameCube Classics, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, which runs $49.99 for 12 months. Also a reminder that GameCube games are only playable on Switch 2.

Path of Radiance is the ninth main installment of the Fire Emblem series, and the first to feature fully 3D graphics. It takes place on the continent of Tellius, as the militaristic country of Daen seeks to conquer its surrounding allies — and launches a surprise attack on Crimea.

This is the game that introduced the blue-haired hero Ike, who’d become a Nintendo staple featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and one of the most popular characters in the entire franchise. Ike is a member of the Greil Mercenaries, founded by his father. The group quickly gets embroiled in the war after Daein’s invasion, and Ike finds himself thrust into the mantle of leadership — grappling with a world of war and politics that he knows nothing about. But one thing Path of Radiance is exceptionally well-known for is its story and writing, often compared to the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics.

The world of Tellius is inhabited by two difference races, the human-like Beorc and the shapeshifting beast race Laguz. The game’s narrative heavily dives into topics of racism and discrimination. At the time, it was the most complex story Fire Emblem had ever seen, enhanced by features like pre-battle camp conversations that fleshed out characters — which would become a staple for later games.

A sequel to Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, was released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007.

Tim Cain, one of the key creators behind the original 1997 Fallout and the franchise at large, has re-joined Obsidian Entertainment.

In a video announcement on his personal YouTube channel, Cain announced the news, explaining he’d moved back to Southern California and will be a “full-time, in-person employee.” He also added, “I can’t talk about the project that I’m working on at Obsidian, just because that’s covered by NDA. Don’t bother guessing, you’re not going to guess right. I would probably say that I’m a lot less retired now.”

Cain was previously a part of Obsidian in 2011, where he worked on Pillars of Eternity and co-directed The Outer Worlds. He left the studio in 2020, but still worked on The Outer Worlds 2 as a contractor. Since then, he hasn’t joined any other studio in an official capacity, but began regularly uploading videos on his YouTube channel in 2023, discussing topics around the video game industry, development, and his own personal experiences.

Cain fully rejoining Obsidian is obviously a big deal, with a lot of question marks surrounding it. The studio has quickly become one of Xbox’s most prolific, releasing three full games in 2025 alone: Avowed, Grounded 2, and The Outer Worlds 2.

The roughly 300-person studio has been one of Xbox’s most productive acquisitions, and of course, Obsidian is also the studio behind the fan-favourite Fallout: New Vegas. While the inclination might be to think Cain is working on some kind of new Fallout game, in lieu of Bethesda being in the thick of The Elder Scrolls VI development, his “you’ll never guess” comment does seem to go against that. But Fallout’s popularity has never been higher because of the smash-hit success of the TV show.

Still, with Obsidian’s recent output, don’t expect any kind of announcement for a good bit.

In a highly competitive bidding war over ownership of Warner Bros., Netflix seems to be the victor, outbidding the likes of Paramount Skydance, and Comcast.

Announced by Netflix on Friday, the deal involves both cash and stock and values at $27.75 per share. That means the overall value is roughly $72 billion. It’s a fairly aggressive move on Netflix’s part, which blocks out three consecutive offers by Paramount earlier.

Netflix will acquire Warner Bros.’ film studio and streaming service HBO Max. This, of course, includes DC Studios and properties like Superman, Harry Potter, Friends, and production on Game of Thrones. Game Developer also confirmed the deal includes Warner Bros. Games, including Mortal Kombat. The slide below was shown during a Netflix conference call discussing the deal, shared by Game Developer reporter Chris Kerr on Bluesky.

“This acquisition will improve our offering and accelerate our business for decades to come,” said Netflix co-CEO, Greg Peters, in a press release. “Warner Bros. has helped define entertainment for more than a century and continues to do so with phenomenal creative executives and production capabilities. With our global reach and proven business model, we can introduce a broader audience to the worlds they create—giving our members more options, attracting more fans to our best-in-class streaming service, strengthening the entire entertainment industry and creating more value for shareholders.”

According to CNN, “Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) said it is moving forward with its plans to split into two publicly traded halves in 2026. Once the split takes effect, Netflix intends to acquire the Warner half. The other half, Discovery Global, will house CNN and other cable channels.”

The deal is expected to go through once the TV networks’ separation takes place, which is estimated to be in the third quarter of 2026. So the overall acquisition should happen in 12-18 months. Both Netflix and Warner Bros. have said their board of directors unanimously approve of the deal, and it’s also subject to regulatory approval and shareholder approval. On top of that, Netflix has agreed to pay a $5.8 billion reverse break-up fee if, ultimately, the deal isn’t approved. Warner Bros. would pay a $2.8 billion break-up fee if they pursue a different merger.

Paramount has been vocally against the Netflix buyout. As reported by Deadline, sending a letter from its legal counsel directly to Warner, saying “Netflix’s dominance in streaming and Comcast’s presence as a leading broadband and MVPD player each present unique and serious antitrust concerns that guarantee a long, expensive review process and imperil closing either deal. Paramount is the easier path, and its outcome is assured.”

Despite it just being months away, we still know surprisingly little about Resident Evil Requiem. We’ve only seen a handful of short gameplay clips, and know the game introduces the brand new protagonist, FBI Agent Grace Ashcroft.

There’s already some connection to the series’ past in Requiem, as Grace is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft, a character from the PS2 title Resident Evil Outbreak. But it also seems like we will definitely see more past characters appear, according to the game’s producer, Masato Kumazawa.

In an interview with Well Played, Kumazawa was asked if we might see other characters from Outbreak appear. His answer was, “I would say that yes, there are going to be some characters from the past series to come in, but don’t over-expect or hype.”

That’s obviously a little vague, and Kumazawa adds just a little more by saying, “We can’t promise you anything about that, but the only thing I can say is that there will be characters that have been involved in the Raccoon City incident involved in the game.”

The big question on everyone’s mind, of course, is whether the series’ protagonist Leon Kennedy will feature in Requiem at all. Leon has been heavily, heavily rumoured since before the game was even announced, all the way back since May 2024. Further rumours have claimed that Leon’s “sections” will be heavily action-focused. But just earlier this month, Kumazawa himself called the Leon rumours “fake news.”

Based on Capcom’s cryptic marketing for the game, it’s starting to look incredibly likely that we won’t know the truth until the game is out and in everyone’s hands. On the other hand, it feels possible we might get a new look at Requiem at The Game Awards on December 11, which has the game nominated for the “Most Anticipated” category.

Resident Evil Requiem launches on February 27, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Fortnite’s big Chapter 6 finale, Zero Hour, is rapidly approaching at the end of November, and now we have at least a vague idea of who all will be appearing in the seemingly climactic battle.

Zero Hour is a direct continuation of the Welcome, Our Alien Overlords event and will see Chapter 6 come to a close in its entirety. User @HypeX on X (formerly Twitter) has posted a list of characters that appear in a piece of teaser art released by Epic Games. Here’s the image.

And here are all the characters and creatures included so far.

• HUNTR/X – KPop Demon Hunters
• The DeLorean – Back to the Future
• Megazord – Power Rangers
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• Homer Simpson – The Simpsons
• Star Destroyer – Star Wars
• The Bride – Kill Bill
• Godzilla and King Kong
• Superman

While most of these have already appeared in the game as collabs, you might notice two of those haven’t. Epic has already confirmed that both Kill Bill and Back to the Future will be some of the first collabs in Season 7, so this is likely where we’ll see their debut in the game. We even know The Bride will be featured in the next Battle Pass.

Fortnite, of course, is no stranger to bombastic events, so it’d be reasonable to expect Zero Hour to close things out in a pretty interesting way. There are also likely more characters and collabs that will appear, and the image itself has quite a few Fortnite-original characters to boot.

If you want to tune in, Zero Hour will take place on November 29, 2025, at 2 pm ET.

Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, iOS, and Android.

The Canadian Game Awards has put out a new video titled “Eh! Game Pulse” highlighting a variety of talented Canadian game studios and developers.
