Earlier this week, Overwatch debuted the game's latest support hero, Jetpack Cat. But it hasn't taken long for players to figure how to utilize Jetpack Cat's abilities in unexpected ways that are making Overwatch's battles even wilder than before.
For example, using Jetpack Cat to carry allies can give a team a tactical advantage as they rain fire from above.
One Overwatch player on Instagram described the following pairing of Jetpack Cat and Reaper as "the chandelier of death and...

Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most heavily hyped video games ever, and everyone is expecting the game to have a giant launch later this year. But just how much money could the game bring in?
According to broker data company Visible Alpha, GTA 6 is estimated to reach $5 billion in revenue by 2030, the Financial Times reported. It could sell 100 million copies by that time period, the firm predicted.
This follows on from a previous estimate from DFC Intelligence that said GTA 6 could sell...
Overwatch players might feel as if they're facing off against a Spartan in recent matches. Fans were quick to draw comparisons between Emre, one of five new heroes added to Blizzard's multiplayer shooter, to Master Chief from Halo, prompting some to clamor for an official crossover.
As observed by GamesRadar, the resemblance between Emre's abilities and Halo mechanics go beyond the character just being a guy with a gun--his three-round-burst rifle is remarkably like the Battle Rifle from...
The 30th anniversary for Diablo means all sorts of cool announcements--like the newest Warlock class on the way for multiple games--but so far, Switch 2 isn't a part of the celebration. Eurogamer decided to ask developer Blizzard about Diablo IV coming to Nintendo's new system or even a Switch 2 upgrade for Diablo II: Resurrected. A spokesperson responded that they had nothing to comment on about those topics.
Earlier this week, Blizzard revealed major updates for Diablo IV and Diablo II...
Bowser's Fury is celebrating its 5-year anniversary today, February 12, 2025. Below, we look at how the unusual experiment married classic Mario level design with an open world, and what it could mean for the future.
Bowser's Fury launched as a bonus, bundled alongside a game Nintendo had already finished selling to its audience. Five years later, that framing feels misleading. What looked like an extra now reads as a compressed design thesis, a Mario game caught between the tight structure...
Releasing Pokemon into the wild is never fun. Even if you've become apathetic towards your little creatures, it's a pain to catalogue and release hundreds of Pokemon for the sole purpose of freeing up Box space. Modern games, like Pokemon Legends: Z-A, make this process quicker by letting you release multiple Pokemon, but there's no tangible gameplay benefit to sending your Pokemon back to where they came from. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Capcom's monster-taming spin-off...
The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red is based in Poland, and the company is leaning into its Polish heritage with a fantastic social media post.
Today, February 12, is celebrated as Fat Thursday in Poland. It's the annual celebration of the last Thursday before Lent begins, and in the country, people eat a lot of food today, including pączkis AKA Polish donuts. To mark the occasion, CDPR released a Witcher-themed image celebrating Fat Thursday featuring 10 hidden pączkis. Can you spot them...
Game developer Hjalmar Vikstrom, a video game industry veteran who worked at Grin and Avalanche Studios before co-founding GTFO developer 10 Chambers, has left his job and plans to work on smaller-scale projects going forward.
"Making games is hard. And these past years have taken their toll," he wrote on LinkedIn.
Vikstrom said he plans to go independent and make "way smaller games" as he focuses on his health and family "and just enjoying game development."
Vikstrom did not elaborate as...
Publisher Nexon has revealed that Arc Raiders has "significantly exceeded expectations" as part of the company's investor presentation for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The new numbers posted for the extraction shooter back that up, revealing that the game sees 6 million players weekly and has now sold 14 million copies since launching in October.
Those are staggering totals, especially considering Arc Raiders just topped 12 million units sold last month. That means the game has moved...
Last December, Call of Duty veteran and Battlefield boss Vince Zampella perished in a car accident. Zampella had deep ties to the video game industry, and according to Hideo Kojima, he also had ideas about making Kojima's Metal Gear Solid into a first-person game.
The Game Awards host and creator Geoff Keighley noted at DICE that Kojima revealed that he had "many discussions" with Zampella about a first-person MGS. It's unclear how far those discussions went, since their collaboration never...

According to MarathonGameHQ (via Eurogamer), there will be 28 guns in Marathon, each with two or more skins. Some of the skins will alter the weapon model. Players can upgrade these weapons with one charm slot and three sticker slots, which will be unlocked by...
The Game Boy Color was an 8-Bit system that debuted in 1998 nearly a decade after the original Game Boy. Given the technical limitations of that era, few would have believed it was possible to create 3D images with a Game Boy Color. And yet nearly three decades after its release, a fan modder has successfully done so.
Danny Spencer created real-time 3D images on the Game Boy Color and shared a blog post (via PC Guide) where he explained at length how it was done. The short version is that...
Despite Highguard releasing less than three weeks ago, it appears that the game's developer, Wildlight Entertainment, has already been hit with large-scale layoffs. The news comes not long after studio head Chad Grenier made news by saying "it doesn't matter" whether the game gets "a thousand people or a hundred million people."
In a post shared via LinkedIn, former Highguard level designer Alex Graner announced he was looking for work after being laid off by Wildlight. According to Graner...
Diablo 2 fans are finally receiving new content for Diablo franchise's 30th anniversary, as Blizzard has revealed a new DLC for Diablo 2: Resurrected that will add a new class alongside some of the community's most-requested features, albeit for a price.
Starting today, players will be able to purchase the Reign of the Warlock DLC for $25. While the new Warlock class, which uses summoned demons both to fight and to sacrifice in order to gain buffs, is the most notable inclusion, the...
Diablo's newest class is the Warlock, and it won't be confined to a single game in Blizzard's ARPG franchise. Instead, different flavors of the Warlock will come to all three current Diablo games: Diablo 2: Resurrected, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 4.
Announced during Blizzard's Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight, the demonic spellcaster will first arrive in Diablo 2: Resurrected today as part of the game's Reign of the Warlock DLC, one that also introduces new endgame challenges and...
Diablo 4's endgame is getting another radical overhaul, this time in the form of its new War Plans progression system that will add skill trees for each endgame activity, letting players customize and power-up each one.
War Plans are coming as part of Diablo 4's upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion and will let players make a "playlist" of five activities drawn from existing endgame modes like Infernal Hordes, the Pit, Helltides, Nightmare dungeons, the Kurast Undercity, Lair bosses, and the...
Diablo's world of Sanctuary isn't what you'd call a hot tourist destination. Between mobs of monsters, cultists with dark designs, and a general sense of decay that permeates the landscape, Sanctuary has been forever scarred by the war between Heaven and Hell. But in Diablo 4's second major expansion, Lord of Hatred, players will get to venture to the sacred isles of Skovos. The ancient birthplace of the firstborn civilization, Skovos is a region where humanity has thrived and has built...
Diablo 4's Lord of Hatred expansion goes live in April, and one of its big draws is that players will finally get a chance to explore a location that has only been hinted at for decades. The Skovos Isles were teased in ancient texts--better known as the Diablo 2 game manual--and it's that very same pocket-sized manuscript that inspired Blizzard to create a region that has been left relatively unscathed by the doom and gloom that has befallen Sanctuary over the centuries.
