Veteran games executive and former Nexon CEO, Owen Mahoney, believes the video game industry is on the cusp of a massive transformation--and that AI is at the center of it. He argues that AI is already integrated into many aspects of game development, from asset production to testing tools, and that its impact will only intensify.
In an interview with The Game Business, Mahoney explains that the AAA sector is facing what he bluntly calls an "end-of-days" moment. Costs are skyrocketing...
A handful of new Mega-Evolved Pokemon are making their debut in Pokemon Legends: Z-A's upcoming Mega Dimension DLC, and ahead of the expansion's launch, The Pokemon Company has revealed another new one: a second Mega Evolution for Lucario.
Mega Lucario Z marks the game's first Z Mega Evolution--a new kind of Mega-Evolved form that has a shorter cooldown period, but depletes Mega Energy much more quickly. According to the official Pokemon website, "Pokemon that undergo Z Mega Evolution...

A new report has shed more light on the CEO succession plans at Disney, with a story from The Wall Street Journal saying leading candidate Josh D'Amaro wants to focus more on gaming. The same report also suggested that Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson is not going to get the job.

Battlefield 6's collaboration with Red Bull is now live, allowing players to unlock XP boosts and cosmetic items for completing challenges in the main game and Battlefield Redsec.
There are 10 new challenges available now (and three "bonus" challenges), and they're all themed around "extreme physical feats," which makes sense given Red Bull is all about extreme sports and lots of caffeine. The Battlefield 6 x Red Bull challenges will be available until December 16.
The Battlefield 6 x Red...
Helldivers 2 on PC just got a whole lot smaller, with developer Arrowhead Studios announcing a new, "slim" version of the game that reduces the game's install size by 131GB.
Fans on PC have long complained about the PC version's huge install size (and other technichal issues), which since the game's launch in 2024 has ballooned to 154GB. That's much larger than the close-to-22GB size of the console versions.
Arrowhead stated in a new blog post its long-term goal has always been to reduce...
Mina the Hollower, the next game from the creators of Shovel Knight, is "make-or-break" for indie developer Yacht Club Games, according to studio head and co-founder Sean Velasco.
In a new Bloomberg interview, Velasco said in order for Yacht Club Games to remain independent, Mina the Hollower needs to be a success, and if it could sell 200,000 copies, "that would be really, really great." The studio recently underwent layoffs and put a second in-the-works project on hold until Mina the...
The Arc Raiders Achievement/Trophy for killing another player in PvP combat is titled "Crossing The Threshold," and after 120 hours of intentional pacifistic gameplay, when I saw that alert come across my screen, I felt like I had done exactly that: I'd waded into uncharted territory. More than that, I'd found myself in a world I didn't even want to be in. I'd prided myself on never killing another player in the game. Through dozens and dozens of rounds, I'd gone well out of my way to avoid...
YouTube has published its list of the top trending topics of 2025, and once again, gaming and pop culture were popular choices for what people watched on the video-streaming website. Out of the trending topics--which aren't ranked in any particular order--US YouTube viewers devoured any content related to the Switch 2 console, Roblox, and the RPG-strategy game Cookie Run Kingdom. Other topics of interest in the US included KPop Demon Hunters, Labubu collectible dolls, and the hit anime...
Mark Cerny--best known as the lead architect of the PlayStation Vita, PS4, and PS5--recently appeared on Simon Parkin's My Perfect Console podcast to choose five games he would preserve on a fictional console. While much of the conversation naturally touched on his long history with Sony, one of the most surprising and heartfelt moments came when he talked about his love for Nintendo's Pikmin.
Despite his deep ties to PlayStation, Cerny made it clear that Pikmin left a lasting mark on him...
Nintendo has provided game file sizes for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch and Switch 2, letting console owners know how much space they need to download the first-person adventure game. On Switch 2, Metroid Prime 4 comes in at an estimated 31.6GB, while the original Switch version only takes up 26.3GB, per the Nintendo Store. Intriguingly, though, the eShop accessed via Switch 2 showcases the Switch edition as taking up 28.9GB.
Regardless, it makes sense Metroid Prime 4 has a bigger...

From Software is very careful about setting expectations when it comes to the DLC expansions for its games, favoring the underpromise and overdeliver approach. This much is reflected in the messaging around The Forsaken Hollows, Elden Ring Nightreign's first DLC expansion. When I pointed out a similarity I felt it had to Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the team made sure to clarify that the comparison was not quite apt and players shouldn't expect something on that level.

In late 2022, Splinter Cell Remake director David Grivel announced that he was leaving Ubisoft after 11 years and going on a "new adventure." That led him to work on Battlefield 6 for EA.
