Ever since Ghostface appeared in Call of Duty years ago, I've been impatiently waiting for my favorite horror icon to arrive in my favorite multiplayer game. I knew it was just a matter of time, and thankfully that time is now. Fortnitemares 2025 adds Ghostface among so many other crossovers, like Scooby-Doo, Terrifier's Art the Clown, indie horror hits REPO and Poppy Playtime, and more, to Fortnite. But not all of these collabs got the same treatment, and even cooler than the upcoming...
Up until now, every character confirmed to appear in Invincible Vs--the 3v3 tag fighter starring characters from Skybound's Invincible series--has been a souped-up superhero. Today, at New York Comic Con, Skybound and developer Quarter Up changed that, as Global Defense Agency head Cecil Stedman has officially been added to the playable roster.
Designing a human character to fight against superhuman opponents on the level of Omni-Man and Invincible requires a change of approach. GameSpot...
A 17-year veteran on the Halo development team has left the company, posting an ominous-sounding message on the way out.
Glenn Israel said on LinkedIn that he is "no longer contributing to the Halo universe" after working on the sci-fi series since 2008. Israel got his start on the Halo franchise at Bungie before joining 343 Industries--now known as Halo Studios--as art director.
Israel said in his post that there is "little more I can say for the moment" about the nature of his exit from...

Fortnite's latest edition of Fortnitemares includes horror icons like Jason, Ghostface, the Scooby Gang, and Doja Cat. The only nonfictional character on that list has already made some waves across social media--or at least the Fortnite X account that was supposedly being run by her.
Doja Cat was scheduled to take over the Fortnite X account on Wednesday before the release of the Fortnitemares announcement, but she says it wasn’t actually her after the account posted a message about "rose...
Earlier this year, developer Heart Machine released Hyper Light Breaker in early access after a nearly two-year delay. However, the game's development is winding down due to layoffs at Heart Machine.
As reported by Game Developer, a spokesperson for Heart Machine said the layoffs "will include a conclusion on the project, [and] it reflects broader forces beyond our control, including shifts in funding, corporate consolidation and the uncertain environment many small studios like us are...
The new patch notes are in for Borderlands 4, and like several other updates, this new round of tweaks to the game is focused on empowering players--specifically, their arsenal of weapons. Gearbox says that it's focusing on smaller gear adjustments, starting with several Legendary-class weapons. These hard-to-find weapons haven't felt as good to use in combat despite having unique perks, so their overall power is getting dialed up substantially.
One prime example here is the Hellwalker, a...
The metroidvania genre is as active as ever in 2025, and an upcoming book will explore how this concept was shaped over the decades.
"Metroidvania: The First Decade is the culmination of a project I began more than 20 years ago, back when this style of game had largely vanished and the general public had more or less forgotten about them," Parrish said in a press release.
"As a game reviewer, I eagerly signed up for the handful of metroidvania games that came down the pipeline--which...

Longtime Xbox devotees have recently seen several former exclusive games go to PlayStation 5, while Microsoft has raised prices on Game Pass and Xbox consoles in the US. Now, one of Xbox's original team members, Laura Fryer, is calling out her former employer and describing the price increases as a "betrayal" of the trust that gamers placed in them.
"With this latest increase to Game Pass, Xbox threw away one of their last advantages," said Fryer in her latest YouTube video. "They were the...
If fast progression is what you're looking for in Battlefield 6, then the PlayStation 5 version might be the one to get when the shooter launches tomorrow.
As spotted by CharlieIntel, the PS5 version of Battlefield 6 has an XP Modifier that will add 5% of XP in every match in which you're partied up with at least two PlayStation Plus subscribers. A PlayStation Plus membership is required to play online multiplayer in Battlefield 6 (and any paid game).

One of the most popular elements of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's multiplayer beta has been its "open" playlists, which only include "minimal skill consideration," or, in essence, little or no SBMM. Now, Activision has confirmed that this will be the default for Black Ops 7 multiplayer at launch, and it's something that some part of the audience has been requesting for years.
"At launch, open matchmaking with minimal skill consideration will be the default for Black Ops 7 multiplayer. Simply...
Two of the best RPGs on PS5 will soon be available in a convenient new bundle, as the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Rebirth Twin Pack Physical Edition is set to arrive on December 4. Its name is a mouthful, but it's shaping up to be the easiest way for players to catch up on the first two entries in the planned trilogy. It's only releasing for PS5, but preorders should be opening soon--and we're expecting the twin pack to be quite popular.
There are a few caveats with this cool...

Say hello to Anime Village Online, a new game set for 2027 that has a PSN listing. Coming from developer GamePoc, the title has some striking similarities to Nintendo's Animal Crossing franchise. The notable resemblance includes the character design (especially the eyes), the game's name, as well as the fact that it's built around decorating, fishing, and growing crops.
GamePoc hasn't released a game before, but the developer also has a listing for Rooted: Survival that features imagery...
Netflix has announced that it's adding a bunch of party games to its catalog, and unlike many of the streamer's other games, these are playable directly on your TV with your phone as a controller.
"We're creating a completely new way to play games--one that's as easy as streaming a show on a Friday night," Netflix said in a blog post.
Five games are being added to the Games tab on Netflix, including Lego Party, Boggle Party, Pictionary: Game Night, Tetris Time Warp, and Party Crashers. All...
Controversial billionaire Elon Musk made a bold claim this week that his xAI game studio will deliver a "great" AI-generated game by the end of 2026. The comment was soon met with a wave of criticism from industry professionals, and publishing director Michael "Cromwelp" Douse from Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios didn't mince his words in response to Musk's plans.
"Genuinely, what this industry needs is not more mathematically produced, psychologically trained gameplay loops, [but]...
