It feels like it's never been a better time to be a Virtua Fighter fan. I've loved this series since its inception, and seeing it again at Evo 2025 after a lengthy absence felt incredible. Both Virtua Fighter 5 REVO and the upcoming new Virtua Fighter game were heavily showcased at the event, and the sense of excitement around the series in the fighting game community and beyond has never felt stronger.
With both the current and upcoming games featured at the show, we had the opportunity to...

When thousands of works were deindexed from Itch just a few weeks ago, livelihoods hung in the balance.
Itch hosted the works of developers, artists, writers, and zinesters. It was (and is) home to taboo pornography, garden-variety smut, video game memoirs, and game jam detritus. Over the last five years, it has perhaps become best known for hosting massive charity bundles, supporting causes like Black Lives Matter, Ukraine war relief, and Palestinian liberation. Those bundles were lined...
The Joy-Con 2's mouse controls may lead to some innovative titles on Nintendo Switch 2, including the recently released Drag x Drive.

However, not all pants are created equal, and that's why GameSpot is sharing our test play results with several different pairs of pants.

There have been some wild characters introduced in the Overwatch canon, both in the original game and its sequel, Overwatch 2. Earlier this week, Blizzard shared an early look at the title's next hero, Wuyang. According to Overwatch 2 lead concept artist Daryl Tan, Wuyang is emblematic of the game's shift away from "oddball" characters in favor of aspirational heroes.
During an interview with Polygon, Tan and senior narrative designer Joshi Zhang explained that the creative team is focused...
The developers behind Skate seem to get that skating is a style thing as much it is a lifestyle. The board itself doesn't make the skater cool, but the bevy of customization options that'll be present at Skate's early access launch certainly will.
According to the latest update from its developers, customization will be a crucial part of the experience, and it's the first thing players will do upon booting up the game. At that point, players will be able to fine tune many aspects of their...

Developer Pearl Abyss has shared a new gameplay video for Crimson Desert, giving players a taste of what to expect for the open-world game at Gamescom and PAX West later this month. The demo is pretty action-packed: The protagonist Greymane Kliff is seen flying over terrain as a bird, utilizing lightning attacks to light up enemies, and even battling two bosses.
In the roughly 13-minute video (seen below), Kliff is apparently looking for one of his best buds, Greymane Oongka. This leads...

Each class offers its own set of unique abilities, passive buffs, and a signature weapon category. While Battlefield 6 allows you to use any weapon on any class (unless you opt for a Weapon Locked playlist), the way some elements of your loadout interact with your chosen class can make a huge difference in battle.
If the class...

Grinding Gear Games has released an announcement teaser trailer for Path of Exile 2's next content update, The Third Edict, confirming just when you'll be able to play it. There's not much to go off in the trailer, showing the inside of a large, cylindrical tower covered in runes as a figure appears to be performing some kind of ritual. A voiceover also ominously describes the need for some kind of weapon, saying, "This weapon is our only chance to save humanity. We must invoke The Third...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is out later this year, and according to a report, it looks like there'll be a comfortable gap between its release and the arrival of EA's Battlefield 6. According to French website Dealabs, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will launch on November 14. If that date is accurate, then Black Ops 7 will be launching during a relaxed window in the gaming calendar, as November is a fairly light month--for now--when it comes to new releases.
This is par for the course with Call...
Battlefield 6 has a solid selection of attachments for each of its various guns, allowing you to customize your loadout in a way that works best for you. And if you're one for sticking to the backlines and sniping with the Recon class, you're probably interested in expanding your toolkit to include anything at all that improves your chances of hitting targets far away from you. That's where the Range Finder comes in.
The Range Finder can be unlocked for the sniper rifle's Right Accessory...
