NFL football, and Madden by extension, isn't all about touchdowns, physical toughness, and Taylor Swift after all. EA wants you to care about kickers, too, and not just when they miss game-deciding kicks.
The latest Madden 26 update increases the maximum distance that talented kickers with a 99 KPW, also known as Kick Power Attribute, can now kick--up to 70-yard field goals.
"As part of our ongoing commitment to authenticity, we’ve incorporated this record-setting event from the real NFL...

Fortnite is reportedly set to get a major update in November that adds a big crossover with the iconic animated franchise The Simpsons. Now, the latest leaks have suggested that it won't just be The Simpson family coming to Fortnite, but also some of Springfield's residents, including Ned Flanders.
Flanders is among the best-known characters on The Simpsons, so his inclusion in the update would be little surprise. We don't know if this is true just yet, so take the leak with a grain of salt...
Popular board game Catan is getting a Netflix adaptation, as Netflix has announced that it is "developing a slate of scripted and unscripted projects" through its partnership with Asmodee and Catan Studio. Catan was created by the late Klaus Teuber in 1995, and his sons Guido and Benjamin Teuber will also be involved in these projects.
"Millions of people [have been] enjoying Catan since it was created, and for many it remains a gateway to modern board gaming. I'm thrilled to see the game...
Following a price hike for Xbox consoles sold to consumers implemented earlier this year, Microsoft is now raising hardware prices for developers. Microsoft has confirmed that it has raised the price of a Xbox Development Kit (XDK), with the price reportedly going up from $1,500 to $2,000. That's a 33% hike.
"The adjustment reflects macroeconomic developments," a Microsoft spokesperson told The Verge, without confirming the exact dollar amount that the site reported. "We remain committed to...
When Battlefield 6 was still in beta, some vocal fans wanted to send a message to EA and Battlefield Studios about their displeasure with a leaked skin. The players seem to want more realistic skins than the Call of Duty franchise provides, and they've teed off on another skin for apparently including orange in the design.
On Reddit, a poster shared a since-deleted image of the Recon class' Dead Sight skin that made it look bright orange. Players responded with some very funny messages...
In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, the clan you choose from the list of the best classes determines which abilities you get access to first in the game. But, you can still gain access to the abilities from other clans, you will just need far more ability points, and an additional currency from Blood Resonance activities, but there is a way to reduce the cost. You can reduce the cost of these abilities by gaining Clan Affinity by doing side quests for each clan.
Clan Affinity is not...
Over the course of its 26-year history, the Silent Hill series has built up a reputation for offering deep dives into the more psychological side of the survival horror genre and giving players complex stories and experiences that often resonate more deeply than those found in the genre’s action-focused contemporaries. This complexity, however, doesn't mean the series is without formula. By and large, this formula generally consists of taking a tortured or doubting protagonist, placing them...
Want to get the Cacao seed in Grow A Garden? As one of the rarer plants you can cultivate in the Roblox gardening sim, getting your hands on this Divine-tier fruit can be surprisingly difficult despite it being available throughout the year. However, if you have the money to snag one, it’ll soon pay for itself if you give it a few mutations.
Not to be confused with the Choc Grow A Garden mutation, there are many advantages to growing Cacao in Grow A Garden. Not only is it worth a reasonable...
Have you ever heard groaning while playing Grow A Garden? That is a Chicken Zombie, based on that moment from the Minecraft movie. The Chicken Zombie is highly sought after and not just because of its meme value. It actually has some of the best abilities available for any one pet, which give your plants a new mutation that makes your fruit worth a fortune, and an extra benefit for eggs.
While not one of the highest-ranked critters in our Grow A Garden pets tier list, the Chicken Zombie is...
Silent Hill has once again cemented itself as one of the biggest survival-horror franchises, thanks to critically acclaimed releases like Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake in 2024 and the recent launch of Silent Hill F. Both games--and an interactive streaming series called Silent Hill Townfall--were first announced in a 2022 livestream, and series producer Motoi Okamoto recently spoke about how this was a deliberate move on Konami's part to show fans of the franchise that it was committed...

Games industry veteran Tim Willits, known for his work at id Software on Quake and Doom and now a top boss at Saber Interactive, recently got an idea for a new game from an unexpected source who previously advised people to stay away from video games.
Willits said he bumped into comedian Jimmy Carr at the airport and they got to talking about games, apparently. "He honestly gave me an idea for a video game. I'm not joking. Such a nice and brilliant guy," Willits said.
That's all Willits...
Battlefield 6 offers dozens of weapons and class items that you can unlock by completing various challenges in the "Assignment" tab of the main menu. While some of these challenges are fairly simple and just require you to get kills or score with what may be the best weapons in BF6 anyway, other challenges are incredibly difficult and confusing. One challenge that falls into the latter category is under the "Bullet Storm" section of the Weapon tab, and this requires you to "suppress enemies...
The next Nintendo Direct is coming up very soon. Nintendo has announced that a second Nintendo Direct dedicated to Kirby Air Riders is taking place on Thursday, October 23 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET.
Masahiro Sakurai, the game's director, will appear in the Direct to share more information about Kirby Air Riders. This is a beefy broadcast, clocking in at about 60 minutes, Nintendo said. The event will stream on YouTube and Twitch, along with the Nintendo Today app.
As mentioned, this is the...
Battlefield 6 is a big success for EA with more than 7 million copies sold, but the game's launch has caused a stir in some circles. Veteran developer Marcus Lehto said the game failed to properly credit a number of developers who worked on it.
The Battlefield 6 credits list off a series of developers from Ridgeline Games, a studio that worked on Battlefield 6's single-player campaign that EA opened and closed in the span of two years. Not everyone from the studio was credited, though, and...

The Outer Worlds 2 is launching in early access later this week, and it's going to diverge from some of the standard conventions of action-RPG titles. While Obsidian Entertainment has already established that its six companion characters can't be romanced, the studio has revealed that they can actually turn on the player if you give them enough of a reason.
During an interview with Xbox Expansion Pass (via GamesRadar), game directors Matt Singh and Brandon Adler noted that players'...
Greek mythology has been around for thousands of years and its traditions have inspired artists working in nearly every medium. What brings me joy is that each writer, visual artist, director--or in the case of Hades 2, a team of game developers--can explore a unique vision of the characters and events they choose to highlight. With the sequel to its popular hack-and-slash roguelite Hades, Supergiant Games explores the worlds of Greek gods from the perspective of Melinoe, the princess of the...
It's been 13 years since Ryu Hayabusa's last solo adventure in Ninja Gaiden 3, but the legend returns this week in Ninja Gaiden 4 alongside a new hero, Yakumo. To promote the game with a stunt worthy of Ryu himself, Team Ninja community manager Emmanuel "Master" Rodriguez and musician Swae Lee took a ride over Miami in a helicopter while Rodriguez played Ninja Gaiden 4 on a large screen held aloft by another helicopter.
According to Xbox Wire, this stunt set a new Guinness World Record for...
