He said on social media, "Once again, f**k off."

One gameplay staple of extraction shooters is the regular "wipe" that resets everyone's in-game progress back to square one. Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios knows that this system can be controversial, and to keep things fair, the studio aims to make wipes a voluntary feature of the game through its Expedition Projects.
Players will unlock an Expedition Project at level 20. Each Expedition cycle runs for roughly eight weeks and players will contribute toward overall progress. Once the...

Electronic Arts has been implementing AI technologies in its development cycles for years, and while EA says there is no content in Battlefield 6 made using generative AI, the technology is "very seducing," according to DICE GM Rebecka Coutaz.
She told BBC Newsbeat that EA's teams use genAI in the early stages of development "to allow more time and more space to be creative." But Battlefield 6 has no genAI-created content. She is optimistic about the technology overall, though. "If we can...

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...

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.

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...

"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...
