Treyarch has released its first post-launch Dev Talk video to reveal some major changes the studio is preparing for the launch of Season 1 next month. This discusses the community feedback regarding Black Ops 7's aim-assist, weapon balancing, and more.
Black Ops 7's assault rifles feel really powerful in multiplayer, while most of the guns in the submachine class have struggled to feel viable. Treyarch associate design director Matt Scronce confirms that a buff is coming across the entire...

As part of the November Xbox Partner Preview, developer Cybernetic Walrus announced that Roadside Research is coming to Xbox and will be a day-one release for Game Pass. What is Roadside Research? Few things in life are certain, but I feel confident in saying you probably won't guess the hook for this game.
What even is Roadside Research?
Roadside Research is a 1-4 player co-op gas station simulator. Simulator-type games are everywhere these days, but this one differentiates itself because...
Gearbox's new content update for Borderlands 4 is getting into the holiday spirit by releasing Bounty Pack 1 for free. The first Bounty Pack, How Rush Saved Mercenary Day, is now available on consoles and PC. As the title implies, this is Borderlands' version of a Christmas story as filtered through the lens of the game.
The DLC allows players to team up with the leader of the Outbounders, Rush, for some holiday cheer by giving "the miserly Minister Screw" a proverbial kick in the butt. The...
Vampire Survivors developer Poncle has announced a new game, Vampire Crawlers, and while it has no release date yet, one of the game's developers is keen for it to avoid GTA 6.
Poncle's Luca Galante told GameSpot that he originally wanted to launch Vampire Crawlers in 2025, but this proved unrealistic after the studio decided to add more deckbuilding elements. Adding this feature pushed the release of Vampire Crawlers to 2026, which is also when GTA 6 is launching.
Rockstar's highly...
Vampire Survivors developer Poncle just announced a new game, Vampire Crawlers, and it emerged after the studio tinkered around with multiple different ideas.
Poncle's Luca Galante told GameSpot that making Vampire Crawlers, a deckbuilding game, was not the team's first choice for a follow-up to Vampire Survivors. "We actually started off with a set of five different projects. We worked with several indie teams, experimenting a little bit, and what happened is simply that Vampire Crawlers...
Each Arc Raiders map has a few intriguing puzzles to figure out, and they'll usually provide you with some nice loot for solving them. For instance, if you've come across the Ancient Fort POI on the Blue Gate map, you may have noticed a cellar door and some electrical boxes scattered around. This puzzle is easy to complete in theory, but the random battery locations add a sense of randomness to the equation. Luckily, we're here to fill you in on where to look for them.
Once you solve the...
Castlevania might not be cracking its whip in video games as often as it used to, but there's still a lot of love out there for the IP. One studio that has carried the torch for the cult-classic Konami series is Poncle, the developer behind the hit game Vampire Survivors and the upcoming Vampire Crawlers. Castlevania was a big influence on Vampire Survivors creator Luca Galante, and as he explained to us, it's one series that he'd love to revive if Konami ever handed him the keys to it...
Much like Vampire Survivors' titular vampire, the game's creator, Luca Galante, is often nowhere to be found. When Vampire Survivors won a BAFTA for Game of the Year back in 2023, it was a handful of Galante's colleagues at Poncle who took to the stage to accept it. At convention panels, Galante is known for using screens and decoys rather than addressing the audience himself. In the NoClip documentary chronicling the success of Vampire Survivors, Galante opted to have a Muppets-esque puppet...
In the years since Vampire Survivors first hit PC, Poncle Games has been busy. In addition to releasing numerous updates to its debut title, the company has expanded, entered into publishing, and paired up with other studios--including Vampire Survivors' biggest inspiration, Konami--to create a slew of fun collaborations. It's been an eventful few years for the BAFTA award-winning team and its simple-yet-utterly-engrossing "bullet heaven." And based on my time spent with Poncle a few weeks...
Poncle Games, the studio behind the critically acclaimed "bullet heaven" game Vampire Survivors, has announced its next project: Vampire Crawlers. Set in the same world as Survivors, this "Turbo Wildcard," as Poncle describes it, reimagines its predecessor as a deckbuilding dungeon-crawler with roguelite elements. Crawlers is slated to release next year.
Announced as part of November's Xbox Showcase, Vampire Crawlers marks a significant departure from the simplistic gameplay of Survivors...
Agent 47 has met several famous faces--and even killed a few of them--throughout his journey in the World of Assassination, but for his next mission, he'll be taking on one of the greatest rap artists of all time: Slim Shady. To be specific, the new Elusive Target mission coming to Hitman will see Agent 47 tasked with killing Eminem's younger alter-ego by none other than Eminem himself. We promise we're not making this up.
Thanks to Slim Shady being a separate--and violent--entity, the real...
Battlefield 6 sold many, many copies in the US in October, but which games sold precisely one copy? As it turns out, lots of games did that.
Circana's Mat Piscatella shared a list of games that sold one physical copy in the US in October, and they include Burnout Paradise for Xbox 360, The Incredibles 2: Rise of the Underminer for Game Boy Advance, and Backyard Baseball for the PlayStation 2.
You can see a longer list below, but note that it's not exhaustive. Some games only sold two...
It's looking more and more like characters from multiple movies will be featured in Fortnite Chapter Seven near the end of this month. Kill Bill's The Bride has already been confirmed, and now it looks like Marty McFly from Back to the Future will arrive shortly thereafter. And it seems likely that Marty will be bringing Doc Brown's time-traveling DeLorean with him.
Leaks from a Fortnite Chapter Seven event appears to indicate that Marty will be a part of the Battle Pass with the Bride. The...
Embark Studios has released the patch notes for the latest Arc Raiders update, which details map adjustments, a nerf for the powerful Venator, and ammo changes. It also includes a welcomed surprise for duck collectors.
The most notable change in this Arc Raiders update is the nerf to the game's powerful Venator pistol. The developer says it was aware that the fully upgraded Venator was over-performing and "capable of outgunning full squads using close-range weapons." The gun's nerf includes...
World of Warcraft's upcoming Midnight expansion is bringing sweeping changes to the MMORPG's transmog system, but they look to be far more expensive than players were led to believe.
Earlier this year when Midnight was fully revealed, developer Blizzard announced it would be overhauling the game's cosmetic outfit system in a way that would save players gold. Instead of having to pay gold to transmog individual gear pieces, players would instead transmog gear slots. That slot would then...
Minor spoilers for Hades and Hades II to follow--read at your own discretion.
Since its inception, Supergiant Games has built up a reputation around high-quality story experiences with deep gameplay systems to match. Yet while all the San Francisco-based studio's games are worthy of praise, it was the first Hades game that raised the bar when it came to roguelike games and their storytelling. It only makes sense, then, that it also became the first Supergiant title to earn a sequel.
Hades...
