  Bethesda CEO Todd Howard has once again fueled fan anticipation for the Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters. Speaking to Dexerto, he stated that the studio is seeing a growing demand for updated versions of classic games and is already "working on a ton of stuff"—but prefers not to reveal details ahead of time. Howard noted that he favors the "quiet" release format, as with the surprise release of Oblivion Remaster, which allowed players to rediscover a familiar world without unnecessary hype. A similar approach, he suggested, could be expected for future projects. With the success of Amazon's Fallout series, which is set in New Vegas for its second season, interest in remasters has skyrocketed, and Howard's announcement seems like the most direct hint in years. Fans are waiting, and Bethesda appears to be preparing the ground for a major announcement—possibly as early as The Game Awards.

  Today, CD Projekt RED released a nostalgic trailer to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077. Titled "City of Legends," the video is a touching return to Night City. As befits a studio known for its Easter eggs, the video also includes a "secret" message for players, which is difficult to spot as it only appears for a split second. To see it, you'll need to quickly pause the game after the word "Cyberpunk" at 2:14. The message reads: Five years. They've flown by in a flash! But in that time, Night City has become more than we could have ever imagined. Over 30 million people have visited Night City, and 10 million have also played Phantom Liberty. This means so much to us. You, our community, are incredible. Over the past five years, you've given us so many memories. You've hosted full-fledged Samurai concerts, created groups for meetups, celebrations, and discussions about all things Cyberpunk 2077... There were even tattoos an...

 On the eve of The Game Awards 2025 , the gaming world found itself captivated by yet another cryptic tease from well-known industry insider The Snitch . His track record speaks for itself: he accurately foreshadowed major reveals such as the Metal Gear Solid 3: Delta remake and the God of War Ragnarök – Valhalla expansion. This time, however, he shared something far more enigmatic—an image featuring nothing more than a close-up of Kratos’s hand . Even that minimal clue was enough to ignite intense speculation across community forums and social platforms. The rumor mill is running at full speed. Some fans are convinced Santa Monica Studio is gearing up to unveil the next mainline entry in the franchise—possibly shifting the spotlight to Atreus , considering the ending of Ragnarök . Others believe the studio might finally revisit the original God of War trilogy , reimagining it with modern visuals and performance enhancements. A smaller but passionate segment even suggests the po...

  Polish journalists and podcasters from the Remigiusz Maciaszek channel report that several of their sources claim that the third expansion to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released in 2026. The DLC is being developed by Fool's Theory, which is also developing a remake of the original The WitcherThe size and cost of the add-on are not disclosed. At the moment, the rumor seems rather dubious, but if it turns out to be true, then there are obvious parallels with Cyberpunk 2077: Earlier, one of the employees of the Virtuos studio, let it slip in his resume that the studio is working on a new DLC for the game. It is possible that by attracting support studios to develop add-ons for already released games, CD Projekt RED thus decided to earn additional funds during the years without high-profile releases and fill the void until the release of The Witcher 4, which is still a few years away from release.

Konami has officially confirmed that Bloober Team, the studio behind the Silent Hill 2 remake,, is developing another game in the Silent Hill universe. This became known during the Konami Press Start broadcast. Konami and Bloober Team's collaboration was first announced back in February, when the companies announced a partnership to create a project based on the Japanese publisher's franchise. Now it's confirmed: this is indeed a new Silent Hill game. There are no details about the project yet. However, fans noticed that during the announcement, the game was accompanied by a familiar musical theme - which may indicate a remake of the first part of the horror. Konami has not yet revealed the name of the project or the release date. A little later, Konami confirmed that it was a remake of the very first chapter of the cult horror series. 

  When developing Mafia: The Old Country, Hangar 13 chose to use cutting-edge technology to "push the boundaries" and create the "most stunning" story in the series from a graphics perspective. The developers understood that it was the graphics that could help players immerse themselves in the story, so they used cutting-edge technologies such as MetaHuman, Nanite, and Lumen. Each element was created to improve the visual quality. This time, players will not find themselves in a large open world, instead, the developers preferred a linear adventure, which allowed them to improve the quality of the graphics. Mafia: The Old Country takes players to 1920s Sicily and tells the story of Enzo Favara, a young man who falls in with the Sicilian Torrisi mafia family, on his rise to power through a cycle of violence, intrigue and betrayal. The game will be released on August 8th on PC and consoles.

  Danish studio IO Interactive has finally unveiled a list of partners for the upcoming game 007: First Light – and we’re not just talking about in-game advertising, but about full-fledged cooperation with legendary brands. The project has already been joined by Aston Martin, Coca-Cola, Omega, Jaguar, Leica, Nvidia, Herman Miller Gaming, Orlebar Brown and Range Rover Defender. This list is a real "fashion capsule" from the Bond universe. The only thing missing is Walther, the manufacturer of the famous PPK pistol, which Bond almost never parted with. Collaborations with such established brands often result in multi-million dollar contracts, and integrations improve the project's image. This has long been the case with Bond films, and now it has spread to games. 007 First Light is expected to release in 2026 on PC, Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch 2.

  Polish studio Techland, having held a very detailed and rich demonstration of Dying Light: The Beast during the Summer Game Fest 2025, continues to share new details about the project. The latest statement from the game's creators seems to be intended to finally dispel doubts about its status: The Beast is not a side episode, but essentially a full-fledged third part in the series. In an interview, Timon Smektala, the franchise's creative director, made the team's internal position clear: The Beast has been completely rebooted, and the project itself has been perceived by the studio as Dying Light 3 for several months now. Despite the lack of a number in the title, in terms of scale, ambition, and approach, this is the next big milestone in the series' history. According to the game director, the team used all the accumulated experience of working on the previous two parts to create "the best game in the series." He emphasized that The Beast is not just a pr...

 It's a curious anniversary, to say the least. It's been seven long years since Bethesda Game Studios announced The Elder Scrolls 6. The teaser, shown at Bethesda Softworks' E3 2018 conference, currently has 19.7 million views on YouTube. The studio never shared any further information about the RPG development with fans. However, having made an announcement and released Fallout 76, the company is focusing heavily on developing Starfield. It was only in March 2024 that Bethesda reminded about the game, stating that they were already playing early builds of TES 6. According to the developers, the project has passed the pre-production stage and is in the early stages of production. Recall that it was previously reported that The Elder Scrolls 6 would be released no earlier than 2027 on PC and Xbox. However, there was not a word about this game at the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2025.

  Those who are eagerly awaiting Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, will be able to try out both games before launch in a couple of months during this year's Gamescom. Earlier today, Capcom confirmed that new games in the two classic franchises will be playable at this year's Gamescom, which runs from August 20-24 in Cologne, Germany, with over 85 game demo stations spread across over 950 square meters. Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha: Way of the Sword won't be the only games the publisher will be showing at the show, so there's a chance that the third game Capcom showed off last week, Pragmata, will also be available at Gamescom 2025. Resident Evil Requiem will release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on February 27, 2026, while Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently scheduled for a 2026 release on PC and consoles.

  Today, a number of users reported that the Xbox app for PC began showing Xbox 360 games in their library. Jez Corden, editor of Windows Central, confirmed that this is not a fake. Let me remind you that earlier there were rumors that Microsoft was working on an Xbox 360 emulator for PC, which would allow PC players to enjoy console exclusives that, for a number of reasons, were never released on personal computers: It is possible that the announcement of this technology may take place at the upcoming Xbox Showcase.

  One of the longest-running debates among Fallout fans is whether the franchise could ever expand beyond the United States. Since its inception, the series has remained firmly within America's borders, traveling across regions from Washington, D.C. and Nevada to West Virginia and Pennsylvania. But at Summer Game Fest 2025, the developers made it clear that the chances of Fallout leaving its home country are slim. During a conversation with Bethesda Game Studios creative director Jonathan Rush and Fallout 76 producer Bill LaCoste, it became clear that the idea of ​​moving the action abroad, while not completely ruled out, goes against the very essence of the series. "I wouldn't say never, but probably not," Rush admitted. He explained that Fallout is, first and foremost, a reflection of American Cold War culture, with its corporate gloss, radiation fears, and idealized retrofuturistic vision of the future. Every element of the game, from the music to the architecture ...

  Recently, one of the insiders reported that Forza Horizon 6is in the early stages of production: But Extas1s may have been wrong: users have found evidence that Playground Games is already actively working on Forza Horizon 6, and the project itself is probably in the late stages of production: Daniel Hinckley has been working on an unannounced Forza Horizon project since January 2023, indicating the existence of a new game in the franchise; Callum Henry runs the Environment Art team, which consists of 70 people, including leads, artists, and photographers. For comparison, Forza Horizon 5 had a team that was half that size (~40 people) even in the later stages. This growth in the team is indicative of late development, not early development; In the case of Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5, Playground Games hired a lot of contract environment artists 12-18 months before release. And since last summer, they've been hiring again. So, based on this information, the Forza Horizon...

  Ubisoft Shares New Details About Anno 117: Pax Romana, and judging by them, we are in for a noticeable evolution of the formula familiar to fans of the city-building series. The key innovation will be the discovery tree , which, together with the new knowledge system , should bring more depth and strategic planning to the gameplay. The developers assure that they have learned important lessons from Anno 1800— and are now ready for a “small revolution.” As before, the focus is on managing the economy, meeting the needs of the population and developing the city. However, now progress in the game will be directly linked to the intellectual development of society . Knowledge, one of the eight attributes of Pax Romana, will be the main resource for discovering new technologies and opportunities. Players will be able to accumulate knowledge by investing in education. For example, Grammaticus will help with this — educational institutions for plebeians, which provide bonuses to all near...

  Rockstar-focused X account GameRoll has shared alleged new details about GTA 6. While the information should be taken with a grain of salt, the insider previously revealed the names of the main characters before the official announcement. According to the leak, the game will include over 700 stores, including fully functioning shopping malls. However, GameRoll admitted it’s unclear what exactly counts as a “store” — vending machines might be part of the tally.

  Just 24 hours after the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, the hacking community reported the first successful hack of the console. Hacker Retr0 discovered a vulnerability that allows using Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) to execute arbitrary code in the early stages of the system boot. In simple terms, he made the console show an image in the corner of the screen. Retr0 used bits of code that are already in the Switch 2 itself and put them together in a "chain" to trick the console into doing what he wants. So far, it's all very slow - if you try to display the image full screen, the console will start to lag. It's not a full-fledged hack - you can't install pirated games or mods yet. But ROP is the first step to more serious attacks, including potentially moving into the console's kernel space "brain."

  GSC Game World studio confirmed that major update 1.5 for STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be released in the second half of June. The exact release date of the update will be announced later.

The previously published Q2 2025 roadmap also mentioned the ability to skip shader compilation, a larger chest, and support for new widescreen modes.

I have received 100% confirmation that the Born From a Wish DLC is still in development and will be released soon. While it's unclear what event the announcement will be made at, the insider doesn't rule out the possibility of an announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase, alongside the announcement of the Xbox Series version of the game. There's a better than zero chance the DLC will be announced this Sunday during the Xbox event, alongside the Xbox version of Silent Hill 2 Remake. Born From a Wish is a piece of additional content that was included with some versions of the original Silent Hill...
