<p>Surprisingly, the insane growth for Meccha Chameleon still isn’t slowing down after its record-breaking first month. Recently, Meccha Chameleon has broken another major milestone by selling 20 million units!</p>



<h2>20 Million Chameleons</h2>



<p>It’s been over a month since Meccha Chameleons’ last major milestone at 15 million copies, and we honestly thought the game’s record-breaking sales streak would finally end, but apparently we were wrong. Between the extra 5 million copies, Meccha Chameleons has had 2 collaborations, one with <a href="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-launches-garten-of-banban-crossover/" target="_blank">Garten of Banban</a> and another with <a href="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-adds-exit-8-collaboration-map/" target="_blank">Exit 8</a>. Plus, with the recent <a href="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-emote-contest-is-now-live/" target="_blank">Emote Contest</a>, perhaps this was enough to push the game over the edge for another milestone.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Smashing Success</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The gameplay loop is simple, satisfying, and surprisingly addictive. You smash wandering piggy banks to scrounge together enough cash to pay off your bills. However, the more you smash, the more debt you discover waiting for you.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s a simple but rewarding concept, and one that has clearly resonated with players. Bills Must Be Paid managed to sell over <strong>100,000 copies in less than 72 hours.</strong> The premise might sound simple on paper, but the satisfying gameplay loop is what really sells the experience.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last week, Behaviour Interactive hosted an <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-ama-reveals-skull-merchant-rework-and-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-ama-reveals-skull-merchant-rework-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ask Me Anything</a> (AMA) on Reddit, where the developers revealed several upcoming features for Dead by Daylight. One of the biggest announcements was a new communication system for Survivors, and now fans are getting their first look at an early concept for the upcoming chat wheel.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Player Intent Wheel</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="517" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dead-by-Daylight-Chat-Wheel.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16957" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dead-by-Daylight-Chat-Wheel.webp 936w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dead-by-Daylight-Chat-Wheel-300x166.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dead-by-Daylight-Chat-Wheel-768x424.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behaviour Interactive is developing the Player Intent Wheel to give Survivors more ways to communicate during a Trial. The upcoming feature lets players quickly send preset messages to their teammates, making it easier to coordinate without relying entirely on Dead by Daylight&#8217;s limited emotes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Players will also be able to swap out messages and customize their own chat wheel. Behaviour knows that not every Survivor will want to use the system, so players can disable the feature entirely through the settings menu. The developers are also adding a mute function, allowing players to silence teammates who spam the chat wheel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Player Intent Wheel could especially help newer players and solo Survivors. Coordinating with random teammates can be difficult, especially when players have limited ways to communicate their plans. This new system aims to make those interactions clearer and help Survivors work together more effectively.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behaviour Interactive will continue monitoring player feedback as development moves forward, with the Player Intent Wheel currently expected to arrive in Dead by Daylight sometime this fall.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Only a few weeks are left before The Blood of Dawnwalker releases, and with all the different systems, creatures, locations, and more, Rebel Wolves has decided to release a new video going over pretty much everything you need to know about the main gameplay systems and story. This video takes a closer look at the game&#8217;s world, story, combat, progression, and, most importantly, the unusual 30-day and 30-night system that will make your journey pretty special, or pretty stressful, depending on how you manage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have been wondering what really makes The Blood of Dawnwalker different from other open-world RPGs, this is probably one of the better overviews we have had so far.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Dark Fantasy World Ruled by Vampires</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to the story, The Blood of Dawnwalker is a dark fantasy open-world action RPG set in 14th-century Europe. The first chapter takes place in Vale Sangora, a region hidden in the Carpathian Mountains. The area has already been devastated by a plague, leaving its population vulnerable. That is where Brencis, probably the most powerful vampire (also known as Vrakhiri), enters the picture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After taking control of the valley, Brencis establishes a brutal and dangerous new regime. He uses his own blood to heal the remaining population, but it comes with a heavy price. In exchange, the people of Vale Sangora are expected to give him absolute obedience. And if you do not agree to it, you will not make it out safely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Brencis also divided the region into three dominions, each controlled by one of Brencis&#8217;s vampiric officers. Each of them controls a different part of the regime, from blood supplies and draining dungeons to alcohol distribution and the Blood Guards. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ambrus
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The youngest of the three and eager to prove himself</li>



<li>Responsible for stockpiling blood and managing the regime&#8217;s draining dungeons</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Bakir
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Oversees the distillation and distribution of alcohol, providing the population with temporary relief from everyday life</li>



<li>Despite this softer public role, he is willing to use his inherent brutality to subjugate the population</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Xanthe
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Creates and commands the Blood Guards, the elite soldiers of the vampire regime</li>



<li>Keeps out of the spotlight and is surrounded by rumors of dark rituals and mysterious disappearances</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is one important detail. As Coen begins disrupting their operations, Brencis&#8217;s Court will respond by introducing new orders designed to make his journey increasingly difficult. So basically, if you annoy them a little bit too much, they might decide to make your life much harder. What exactly that means, I guess you will have to try and find out for yourself!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coen Is Both Human and Vampire</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dawnwalker-coen-field-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker Coen" class="wp-image-16606" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dawnwalker-coen-field-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dawnwalker-coen-field-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dawnwalker-coen-field-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dawnwalker-coen-field-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/Dawnwalker-coen-field-2048x1152.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you probably know, you take control of Coen, a young man whose family is kidnapped by Brencis. Coen eventually becomes a Dawnwalker, meaning he remains human during the day but transforms into a vampire at night. And this is not simply a cosmetic transformation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two sides of Coen offer completely different ways to approach the world, the combat, NPCs&#8230; Everything works differently depending on if you are a human or a vampire.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Human Form
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Active during the day</li>



<li>Allows you to develop witchcraft, using Coen&#8217;s own blood to cast supernatural abilities</li>



<li>Witchcraft powers let you:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Communicate with the dead</li>



<li>Move faster</li>



<li>Interact with the astral plane and inflict pain on enemies</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Vampiric Form
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Active during the night</li>



<li>Things get considerably more violent</li>



<li>Coen&#8217;s vampire form gives him:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Claws and fangs</li>



<li>Supernatural mobility</li>



<li>Wall-climbing abilities</li>



<li>The ability to transform into a wolf for faster travels</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Basically, during the day you can walk around NPCs as a perfectly normal human, but that does not mean you are weak during that time. You can fight with a sword and use powerful Witchcraft spells to defend yourself or attack. And as a Vampire, you have more strength and supernatural abilities that allow you to access passages you cannot enter as a human. However, if you lean a bit too much on your Vampire side, it will come at a price.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Combat is also very flexible. The game features an Omniblock/Omniattack system, where Coen automatically chooses the direction of his attacks and blocks. This is designed to make combat more accessible, but it still requires players to dodge attacks that cannot be blocked. There is also a more traditional directional combat system, where you manually read enemy movements and react to them. This approach focuses more on timing, positioning, and rhythm. Both systems also include active abilities that can increase damage, heal Coen, control groups of enemies, or interrupt enemy attacks. So if you want something more accessible, or for a more demanding combat system, you both have an option.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blood Gives You Power&#8230; And Corruption</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/blood-of-dawnwalker-coen-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-13228" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/blood-of-dawnwalker-coen-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/blood-of-dawnwalker-coen-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/blood-of-dawnwalker-coen-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/blood-of-dawnwalker-coen-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/06/blood-of-dawnwalker-coen.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vampirism comes with a constant need for blood. You are going to tell me, so far, it is pretty logical. Vampires need blood, this is not new information. But it does have an actual impact in-game, since it is not just lore information saying Coen needs to drink blood when he is a Vampire. Drinking blood allows Coen to unlock new abilities and become more powerful, but it also corrupts him. The more you lean into the Vampiric side, the more humanity you lose. And that might have consequences you will have to find out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is one of the game&#8217;s main risk-reward systems. You can focus on the human and witchcraft side, embrace your vampiric abilities, or combine both sides. The interesting part is that neither path is simply presented as the obvious &#8220;correct&#8221; choice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You are essentially deciding how much of Coen&#8217;s humanity you are willing to sacrifice in exchange for power.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Only Have 30 Days</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most unusual systems in The Blood of Dawnwalker is its time limit. Coen has 30 days and 30 nights to rescue his family before Brencis&#8217;s coronation. But this is not a traditional countdown where the game is constantly ticking away in real time when you are exploring. So for those who are not a fan of time limits in-game, you will be happy to know that it is way more manageable in Dawnwalker. The timer is not constantly going down. Only certain quests with an hourglass icon will make you spend time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Time is basically treated as a resource you can spend for certain things, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Completing certain quests</li>



<li>Completing certain activities</li>



<li>Learning new abilities can sometimes cause time to pass as well</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that means the world can change without you directly triggering those changes. Some opportunities may appear, and others can disappear permanently. Characters can change their circumstances, events can unfold, and certain possibilities may simply no longer be available depending on how much time you have spent. But do not worry, time will not pass randomly. Every quest or action that will spend time will be marked with an Hourglass icon. So you can decide when you want to spend and complete those.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And even if you fail to rescue your family within those initial 30 days, it does not simply mean game over. The story continues, but Coen&#8217;s journey will take a different direction. It will, of course, have consequences. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker Coen" class="wp-image-16491" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dawnwalker-coen-sword.webp 1422w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Can Basically Do Whatever You Want</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite having one big objective, saving his family, The Blood of Dawnwalker is not going to force you down a specific route. Quests and activities are optional building blocks for your own version of the story. You can explore Vale Sangora, search for allies, discover new abilities, investigate opportunities, or focus almost entirely on the main objective. And Rebel Wolves is going pretty far with this freedom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers say players can theoretically attempt to storm Brencis&#8217;s castle immediately after the prologue, but defeating him that early as a newly created Dawnwalker would be extremely difficult. But the fact that the game allows you to try is a pretty good demonstration of the freedom you have in the game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vale Sangora Is Built for Exploration</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/dawnwalker-city-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker City walk Coen" class="wp-image-15898" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/dawnwalker-city-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/dawnwalker-city-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/dawnwalker-city-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/dawnwalker-city-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/dawnwalker-city.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The open world itself includes a mixture of environments, from forests and cities to swamps, caves, and mountain peaks. Exploring these areas can lead to new weapons, armor, abilities, knowledge, allies, and other opportunities. And because time is constantly influencing the world, exploring is not just about finding collectibles or clearing icons from a map.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spending time in one part of Vale Sangora can potentially mean missing something happening somewhere else. Depending on the side quests you complete, the people you talk to, or the locations you visit, your story might change completely.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Version of Coen&#8217;s Story</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-1024x576.webp" alt="The Blood of Dawnwalker" class="wp-image-15284" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/blood-dawnwalker-coen-lady.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, The Blood of Dawnwalker is built around the idea that there should not be one single optimal way to experience Coen&#8217;s journey. There is no best route or best way to play. The choices you make, the people you help, the abilities you develop and, perhaps most importantly, how you spend your limited time will dictate what happens. Add the human VS vampire progression system on top of that, and two players could potentially finish the game having taken very different paths through Vale Sangora.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Blood of Dawnwalker is not just another open-world RPG with a vampire protagonist. Its entire structure revolves around balancing time, power, exploration, and Coen&#8217;s remaining humanity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that is probably the most interesting thing about it.</p>

Rebel Wolves has released a new Blood of Dawnwalker video explaining everything you need to know before the game launches in September!


The Blood of Dawnwalker Details Its 30-Day System and Gameplay


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We already know that GTA 6 is <a href="https://all.gg/news/rockstar-confirms-gta-6-extended-look-coming-during-gamescom-week/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">getting an extended look on Netflix</a> later this month, but a strange Netflix listing has now led to another rumor and a ton of speculation around Rockstar and what they could really have planned for this special presentation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So according to a listing briefly spotted on the <a href="https://insider-gaming.com/gta-6-netflix-extended-look-could-be-three-episodes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Portuguese Netflix page</a>, the GTA 6 extended look could apparently contain three separate episodes, each with its own runtime. The listing has since been changed so the episodes are no longer visible, and Rockstar has not confirmed any of this, so keep in mind that this could also have been just a bug or entirely fake. It is really just a rumor, with no way of really verifying if it is true or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So the Netflix listing showed three episodes with the following runtimes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Episode 1:</strong> 23 minutes and 37 seconds</li>



<li><strong>Episode 2:</strong> 24 minutes and 41 seconds</li>



<li><strong>Episode 3:</strong> 18 minutes and 29 seconds</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, that would be up to 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 47 seconds of footage. The second episode would apparently be the longest, and the third would be the shortest. There was no release date attached to the individual episodes, and the listing was only seen on the Portuguese version of Netflix. After people noticed it, the page was updated, and the three episodes disappeared.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, that obviously makes it impossible to know if this was an accidental listing, a placeholder, a technical error, or something that was simply never supposed to be visible yet. It could even be fake. However, it is interesting enough to make it worth mentioning, because 3 episodes is not something that is that unbelievable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Rockstar Using Netflix?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Something about the rumor makes it interesting. Rockstar has officially confirmed that an extended look at GTA 6 is coming to Netflix, so the basic premise is not speculation. The question is simply what exactly Rockstar is preparing. And choosing Netflix for an extended presentation is already a little unusual.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously suggested that the upcoming presentation would be worth watching and that people would not want to miss it. That is obviously vague enough to mean pretty much anything, but it does leave room for speculation that Rockstar could be planning something more elaborate than simply uploading another ten-minute gameplay trailer.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Episodes Over 3 Months</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A multi-part presentation showing different aspects of the game over time is not that weird. With GTA 6 releasing on November 19, 2026, Rockstar could potentially use multiple episodes to gradually show off different parts of the game during the final months before launch. One episode per month, up until November. One in August, one in September, and one in October. In a way, it would make sense. One episode could focus more heavily on Vice City, another on the surrounding world and activities, and another could give us a better look at Jason and Lucia&#8217;s story, for example.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>That is purely speculation, of course. There is nothing currently confirming that Rockstar intends to release one episode per month, or even that these three episodes really exist.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But a three-part format would certainly explain why Rockstar would choose a streaming platform like Netflix instead of simply releasing another trailer on YouTube. However, it could also just be one big episode at the end of August, and the Netflix early access is just to bring more people to discover the game. Anything is possible, to be honest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, though, the only thing we can say for sure is that GTA 6 is getting an extended look on Netflix later this month. If that turns out to be one big presentation or three separate episodes remains a mystery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if this Netflix listing was real, Rockstar may have quite a bit more to show us than we initially expected.</p>

GTA 6 Rumor Claims Netflix Will Show Over an Hour of New Footage


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Insomniac Games has revealed some pretty good news for players planning to play Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine on a standard PS5! <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/insomniac-confirms-marvels-wolverine-performance-mode-details" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Speaking with IGN</a>, senior project director Jess Reiner-Reed and Insomniac&#8217;s head of technology, Mike Fitzgerald, confirmed that the game will run at 60 FPS with ray tracing on the base PS5, and, even better, this will be the game&#8217;s default mode.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is a first for Insomniac.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">60 FPS With Ray Tracing Was the Goal From the Start</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Reiner-Reed, Insomniac knew relatively early in development that they wanted Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine to target 60 FPS on the standard PS5. The team was able to achieve that goal, with the game designed around the performance target instead of treating it as something added later. Fitzgerald also explained that Insomniac has traditionally offered separate fidelity and performance modes, sometimes adding a performance mode with ray tracing toward the end of development after realizing the game could handle it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wolverine was approached differently.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This time, the studio decided from the beginning that the game would be built around 60 FPS with ray tracing, making it the default presentation on PS5. And considering just how Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine is expected to be, that should be particularly welcome. A smoother 60 FPS target should make Logan&#8217;s fast melee combat feel considerably more responsive, especially when chaining attacks and dodging enemies.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/marvel-wolverine-jean-1024x576.webp" alt="Marvel's Wolverine and Jean" class="wp-image-16082" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/marvel-wolverine-jean-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/marvel-wolverine-jean-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/marvel-wolverine-jean-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/marvel-wolverine-jean-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/07/marvel-wolverine-jean.webp 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The technical ambitions of Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine do not stop at frame rate and ray tracing. Unlike the Spider-Man games that are more focused on a single large city environment, Wolverine takes you through a much wider variety of locations. Insomniac specifically mentioned the Canadian wilderness, Madripoor, and the jungles seen at the beginning of the game. That has required the studio to develop new technology for things such as foliage. Plants and vegetation can react to wind, characters, and the surrounding environment, making the game&#8217;s areas feel more dynamic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there is another huge focus: destruction.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Logan Is Going to Leave a Mess Behind</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wolverine is not exactly known for being gentle, so Insomniac wanted the world to react accordingly. Fitzgerald explained that the team did not want players to fight through a large group of enemies only to walk away from the battle and find everything looking completely untouched. A large number of props throughout the game are therefore destructible and physically reactive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Market stalls, tables and other objects can splinter and fly apart during combat, meaning the environment should look like it has been through a fight once Logan is finished with his enemies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That seems like a particularly fitting approach for Wolverine.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Logan&#8217;s a really destructive character. The aftermath after you fight a big battle, we wanted to make sure you didn&#8217;t feel like you were defeating a bunch of The Hand and then walking out of this pristine market that you happened to be in. So most of the props in the game are destructible, react in physically accurate ways. We invested a ton in that technology. So market stalls and tables and everything around you is splintering and flying off as you&#8217;re doing combat.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Collectibles, Whiskey, Nightmare Doors, and More</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Outside of the revelations around FPS and destruction, Insomniac has also <a href="https://x.com/TCMF2/status/2087962089285468619?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealed details</a> about the game&#8217;s progression and replayability, and other activities! So here is a small recap of everything you can discover or do in the game:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New Game Plus will be available from day one</li>



<li>Nightmare missions
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Described as manifestations of the horrible things happening inside Logan&#8217;s mind</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>The possibility to replay individual chapters
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Making it easier to return to previous areas and collect anything you may have missed</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Collectibles:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Whiskey bottles can be found throughout the game and will contribute to Wolverine&#8217;s progression</li>



<li>Material crates containing resources used to unlock new suits</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Nightmare Doors
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Contain unique trials for players to complete</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Adaptation features
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Possibility to increase the difficulty</li>



<li>Make Logan more aggressive and more powerful</li>



<li>Some are only accessible in New Game Plus</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of this is basically made so you feel like replaying the game over and over again to discover new things and new ways to play.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">60 FPS with ray tracing being default on the base PS5is probbaly the most important part of all of this, but it is also nice to see how much effort has been put into making the game replayable. And with the game launching on September 15, 2026, we will not have to wait much longer to see how well Insomniac managed to pull it off.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, you are indeed seeing this right, we do have new information about ANANTA!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It has been a very long time since we first heard about ANANTA, but we are finally getting another proper look at the game. New gameplay footage has surfaced on Bilibili, showing off a surprisingly detailed section of the game&#8217;s open-world city and even exploration near the water, giving us a much better idea of what the city and everything will really look like. The video remains rather short, so there is not that much to see overall, but the details of the water and everything are just amazing. It does help to understand why the game takes so long to be developed and revealed. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Honestly, the city is looking pretty damn impressive.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ANANTA&#8217;s Open World Looks Extremely Detailed</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The footage focuses more on the game&#8217;s urban environments, including a large waterfront and marina area that you can freely explore. The city is full of details, from skyscrapers and bridges to palm trees, smaller buildings, and different levels of elevation. There are also plenty of walkways, stairs, and layered areas that make the environment feel much more like a real city, and not just a collection of streets connecting different missions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Across the water, you can see a large city skyline, further showing just how much of the environment appears to be visible and explorable. There is a port, a sort of church, a lighthouse, and in the distance you can even spot what seems to be a huge seaside amusement park with a massive rollercoaster! We do not know if we will be able to ride that one, but I do hope so! Maybe through some character relationship side quests or things like that. But that remains speculation for now. It is a small detail, but it is exactly the sort of thing that makes an open world feel more believable. Instead of simply filling the map with buildings, ANANTA appears to be creating entire areas that players can probably explore and interact with.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The water itself is also surprisingly detailed, with reflections, ripples, and lighting effects helping the waterfront feel considerably more alive. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The footage also gives us a look at the game&#8217;s third-person movement and character animations. They appear considerably better than what we have seen from some of the game&#8217;s much older footage! It shows that they have been working hard on the game, because some things did not look that good and this smooth in previous trailers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than Just Walking Around</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most of the video is really just the main character walking near the water, but it also shows a few of the game&#8217;s UI, interaction, and social features. Exploration is definitely not going to be your only activity. You can spot things like:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>An action wheel you can open to select different icons
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>There is a car icon, so either to call a taxi or your own car, probably</li>



<li>A shirt icon. We are guessing this is to change clothes at any given moment</li>



<li>A character icon, so most likely to access your character&#8217;s information</li>



<li>Journal for quests, most likely</li>



<li>Inventory</li>



<li>Friend list icon maybe, for the character raising their hand</li>



<li>Photo mode icon</li>



<li>A few additional icons that we could not identify</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="575" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-icons-1024x575.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16932" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-icons-1024x575.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-icons-300x168.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-icons-768x431.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-icons.webp 1313w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of that, it also seems like your character will have their own phone. A lot of games do this now, where you can pull out a mobile phone in order to access all the functionalities the game has to offer. This typically replaces your general menu and makes things a bit more interactive. You can find pretty much the same icons as those you have on your action shortcut wheel. This makes us wonder if you can customize the action wheel with the icon that you want or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the phone menu, you can also find additional icons such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Messages</li>



<li>Phone calls</li>



<li>Settings</li>



<li>What looks like an Instagram app</li>



<li>A clock and Weather app (maybe to change time/weather)</li>



<li>Notifications (for game updates probably)</li>



<li>And more</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="618" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-phone-app-1024x618.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16933" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-phone-app-1024x618.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-phone-app-300x181.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-phone-app-768x464.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ananta-phone-app.webp 1352w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The video also shows off the photo mode! So when you activate your camera, it seems like you can make pretty cool pictures. There is a front camera and a selfie option, from what we can see. You can do things such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Change your character&#8217;s facial expression</li>



<li>Change the pose</li>



<li>Add stickers or frames</li>



<li>And more</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="604" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/anantan-photo-app-1024x604.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16934" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/anantan-photo-app-1024x604.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/anantan-photo-app-300x177.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/anantan-photo-app-768x453.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/anantan-photo-app.webp 1373w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of that honestly fits with what ANANTA has been trying to show about its world. We have a large open environment where players can do more than simply travel between story missions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ANANTA Has Been Silent for a Long Time</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What is perhaps most surprising about this video is simply how long we have been waiting to see ANANTA properly again. The game was originally revealed years ago under the name Project Mugen, and we have had relatively little substantial information about it since the gameplay trailer over 10 months ago. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This new footage is therefore quite interesting because, even if it does not show that much, it at least indicates the game is still alive, and the devs are actively working on it. And if this is representative of the rest of the game, ANANTA could have a seriously impressive city to explore, with a ton of things to do in it. There are also rumors about having access to boats and being able to explore on the water. However, this is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is still plenty we do not know, including when exactly the game will launch and how its full progression and gameplay systems will work. It is also supposed to be a gacha game, but with no character gacha, so the question remains: what exactly can you pull, and how will monetization work?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But after all this time, it is nice to see at least something about ANANTA again! And yes, that city is looking absolutely insane.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">300,000 Repair Shops</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Surprisingly, the insane growth for Meccha Chameleon still isn&#8217;t slowing down after its record-breaking first month. Recently, Meccha Chameleon has broken another major milestone by selling 20 million units!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">20 Million Chameleons</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s been over a month since Meccha Chameleons&#8217; last major milestone at 15 million copies, and we honestly thought the game&#8217;s record-breaking sales streak would finally end, but apparently we were wrong. Between the extra 5 million copies, Meccha Chameleons has had 2 collaborations, one with <a href="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-launches-garten-of-banban-crossover/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-launches-garten-of-banban-crossover/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Garten of Banban</a> and another with <a href="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-adds-exit-8-collaboration-map/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/meccha-chameleon-adds-exit-8-collaboration-map/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Exit 8</a>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aggro Crab is back with the final major update for Peak: The Final Ascent. This major update brings new variant biomes: Gloom and The Citadel, which will cycle out with Caldera and the Kiln.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Final Ascent</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The day has finally arrived. The Final Ascent marks the final major update for Peak, adding two new biomes, a handful of <a href="https://all.gg/news/big-walk-is-the-next-must-play-co-op-indie-game/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/big-walk-is-the-next-must-play-co-op-indie-game/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">secret items and areas to uncover</a>, and 10 new badges for climbers to earn.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like previous biome updates, these new areas will be part of each new daily map for the next two weeks. Afterward, biomes will return to being random spawns in the daily map rotation.</p>

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Additional Features</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Final Ascent update for Peak is also bringing a handful of extra features to the game. Firstly, Ascent 8 has now been added. Additionally, Ascent 7 has been changed:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>We felt that preventing players from reviving, while it did make it a challenge, made this Ascent less fun and was not in the spirit of the game (and its meaningless in a solo run!).<br>Instead of “You cannot revive the dead” it&#8217;s now “Start cursed and take more curse from revival” to properly punish repeated deaths without locking players out of the rest of the run entirely.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are now 10 new Badges to unlock, along with matching cosmetics, which will be the last set of achievements coming to Peak. So if you have been trying to go for that 100% achievement, now is the time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also some new items and a new type of luggage, clown luggage, to be exact. When opening Clown luggage, you have a chance to get: The Lollipop, Cannon, and Balloon Bunch, instead of the items inside climber luggage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the new items, players are getting:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jetpack</li>



<li>Warp Fungus</li>



<li>Glider</li>



<li>&amp; More</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, mysterious statues have begun appearing all over the island; no one knows where they originally came from, but they seem to have a connection to the Scoutmaster’s original lost troop.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is This the Final Update for Peak?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/image_2026-08-13_154605543-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16916" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/image_2026-08-13_154605543-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/image_2026-08-13_154605543-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/image_2026-08-13_154605543-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/image_2026-08-13_154605543-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/image_2026-08-13_154605543.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In case you are wondering about the future of Peak and/or why this is the final major update, the developers have put out a statement:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we’ve said since the beginning, PEAK isn’t a live-service-game. We intended to release a game that was “finished” on launch, and any major content updates would be the cherry on top. Due to the game’s overwhelming success, we’ve already spent quite a bit more time on it than we originally expected, and added so much more to it! We don’t wish for it to become a “forever game” where we constantly add new things that bloat the experience, just to try to keep people’s attention.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A small team develops PEAK, made up of developers from two studios, Aggro Crab and Landfall. As much as we all love the game, we want to return to <a href="https://all.gg/news/peak-devs-unveil-crashout-crew-a-hilarious-co-op-game/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/peak-devs-unveil-crashout-crew-a-hilarious-co-op-game/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">working on our own separate projects. </a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>But PEAK isn’t going anywhere!!! You’ll always be able to keep playing it, and we will continue to provide bug fixes and maintenance until we are satisfied with the game’s stability.</strong></p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Peak: The Final Ascent is here, bringing two new biomes, fresh items, secrets, badges, and the game’s final major content update.


Peak: The Final Ascent Brings New Biomes and More


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we say &#8220;cute anime Pokémon meets Genshin game,&#8221; you should answer with &#8220;Aniimo&#8221;. For those who have been keeping an eye on Aniimo, you will be happy! The upcoming free-to-play creature-catching RPG finally has a release date to talk about. They released a new pre-order trailer for PlayStation, revealing a date. Aniimo will <a href="https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10018491" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">officially launch on PS5</a> on September 16, 2026 at 10 AM UTC+8.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Aniimo | Pre-order available on PlayStation Store" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mokN4RQVxhA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And yes, you can pre-order a free-to-play game. And&#8230; pay for a free-to-play game. It is Sony, so these are the usual paid packages they offer. <strong>Keep in mind that these are not needed in order to play the game, even if you are on PS5.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aniimo Is Still Completely Free to Play</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before anyone gets confused by the pre-order announcement, Aniimo itself will remain free to play. The PlayStation listing explicitly states that the base game will be available at no cost when it launches. As mentioned, the pre-orders are simply optional packs containing additional in-game items. Some of these items will be exclusive to PlayStation players. So if you do not care about the bonuses, you can just download Aniimo when it releases and start playing without spending anything.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game is also planned for <a href="https://www.aniimo.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xbox Series X|S, PC through Steam and Epic Games Store, Android and iOS</a>, but there is an important detail here. PlayStation is currently the only platform where the official store listing gives a specific September 16 release date. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other versions are still listed as &#8220;available soon.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no indication that the PlayStation version is getting an early-access period either, so it remains possible that September 16 will eventually be the release date across all platforms, and it just did not get updated on the other ones. For now, though, that is not officially confirmed. So if you are playing on phone, Xbox, or PC, we are a little bit kept in the dark when it comes to the official release date. However, keep an eye out, because if PlayStation now has a date, it should not take long before we get the release date confirmed on the other platforms.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Pre-Order Packs Are Available</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So PlayStation currently has two different pre-order options for Aniimo, although the exact distinction between them is not particularly clear from the store description.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Advanced Edition Pre-Order Pack</strong> 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Costs €9.99</li>



<li>Includes 1x Fluffy Friend</li>



<li>Advanced Companion Handbook
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>This is the in-game Battle-Pass</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Collector&#8217;s Edition Pre-Order Pack</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Costs €19.99</li>



<li>Includes 1x Fluffy Friend</li>



<li>Advanced Companion Handbook</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="572" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-preorder-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16908" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-preorder-1024x572.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-preorder-300x167.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-preorder-768x429.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-preorder.webp 1329w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Fluffy Friend is the PS5 exclusive item, and the Companion Handbook is basically the in-game Battle Pass. So essentially, pre-ordering directly unlocks the paid track for the Battle Pass, and you will unlock the rewards as you level it. You also get a set of in-game materials on top of it for both packages. Now the confusing part, as you can see in the image, is that it almost looks like both packages offer the same thing, but for a different price.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the currently shown artwork, the main visible difference appears to be that the more expensive version includes two Fluffy Friend companions instead of one, and the Companion handbook seems different. And indeed, this is the main difference. The Advanced pack unlocks the advanced Battle Pass, so the normal paid track of the Battle Pass. And the Collector&#8217;s Edition unlocks a collector version of the Battle Pass. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are no details on either version of the Battle Pass, so hard to really judge right now which one is worth it. But if we compare to other gacha games, usually the collector pass includes a few additional items.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Exactly Is Aniimo?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-pass-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16909" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-pass-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-pass-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-pass-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-pass-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-pass.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those who hear about the game for the first time, the concept behind Aniimo is pretty interesting. The game takes place on the continent of Idyll, where you can discover and capture creatures called Aniimo. But instead of simply fighting alongside them, you can &#8220;Twine&#8221; with your Aniimo, effectively taking control of them and using their abilities to explore the world, solve puzzles, and fight.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-fight-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16911" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-fight-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-fight-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-fight-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-fight-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/aniimo-fight.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aniimo can appear depending on things such as the environment, weather, time of day, and other phenomena, and many of them can also evolve. So yes, the Pokémon comparisons are going to be unavoidable. But Aniimo is also focused on open-world exploration. You can glide, dive, and burrow around Idyll, or visit a floating metropolis where you can meet other players and take part in competitive activities. So basically, Pokémon meets <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/genshin-impact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genshin Impact</a> if you want a simple comparison.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game also includes a PvEvP mode called Egg Heist where you can form teams of three and head into the Lost Isles for real-time searches and battles. But for those who like cosy games, there is also a more relaxed side to the game. Every Pathfinder gets their own RV that can be parked at campsites throughout the open world. You can meet others there, or return to your Homeland to grow crops, build decorations, and customize your personal space.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creature collection is obviously a big part of Aniimo, but it seems to be going for much more than just that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either way, Aniimo is definitely interesting, and since it is free to play, it is always worth trying out. The combination of creature collection, an open world, real-time multiplayer, and player housing certainly gives it more going on than just being another Pokémon-like game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And again, if you do not want any of the pre-order bonuses, you do not need to pre-order anything. The game will be available for free! Now we just have to wait for a confirmation on the release date for all platforms.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, that did not take long. If you played with D.Mon at least for one or two runs, you probably noticed she felt a little bit underpowered. And indeed, Blizzard realised the same thing, since she is already getting some well-deserved adjustments! They already pushed the first hotfix for the season. The update is mostly about D.Mon, giving her a lot of buffs across her kit, and also fixing a few bugs affecting both the new hero and some maps.</p>



<details class="wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow"><summary><strong>Overwatch Retail Patch Notes – August 12, 2026</strong></summary>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hotfix Update</a></strong><br>This is a hotfix update. Replay codes from the August 11 patch are still available</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Hero Updates</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>D.Mon
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Plasma Saber
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Damage increased from 60 to 65.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Propulsors
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fuel drain rate reduced from 40 to 25.</li>



<li>Fuel regen rate increased from 15 to 22.5.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Fusion Repeater
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Damage increased from 15 to 16.</li>



<li>Cooldown reduced from 6 to 4 seconds.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fixed a bug where Nano Boost was removed from Moira when she used Fade.</li>



<li>Fixed an issue preventing D.Mon&#8217;s Power Barrier from fully protecting D.Mon if deployed while Fusion Repeater was active.</li>



<li>Fixed a bug where the second attacker spawn extended into playable areas on Paraíso.</li>



<li>Fixed a bug where D.Mon could become invulnerable temporarily.</li>
</ul>
</details>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">D.Mon Gets Buffed</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="574" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-new-tank-1024x574.webp" alt="Overwatch New Tank" class="wp-image-16610" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-new-tank-1024x574.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-new-tank-300x168.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-new-tank-768x431.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-new-tank-1536x862.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-new-tank-2048x1149.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Only one hero is getting adjusted, and it is the new tank D.Mon. As always, when a new hero is released, they are either overpowered or underpowered. And for D.Mon, she was lacking damage among some other things. Hence why now, her Plasma Saber deals 65 damage instead of only 60, and the Fusion Repeater now deals 16 damage instead of 15. The cooldown of the Fusion Repeater has also been reduced from 6 seconds to 4 seconds. So your ranged weapon will now be available to use much faster and deal more damage! And when you are in melee, you will also deal more damage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her Propulsors have also received a pretty significant adjustment. The fuel drain rate has been reduced from 40 to 25, and the regeneration rate has increased from 15 to 22.5. That should allow D.Mon to stay mobile for considerably longer before running out of fuel. This means running in and out of melee will be easier and feel overall better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So pretty much every main part of D.Mon&#8217;s kit has received a small boost in this first hotfix.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Power Barrier Bug Also Fixed</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update is not just about buffs, though. Blizzard has fixed an issue where D.Mon&#8217;s Power Barrier was not fully protecting her when it was deployed, and the Fusion Repeater was active. Another bug could temporarily make D.Mon invulnerable, and that has also been fixed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update additionally addresses a couple of issues that are not at all related to D.Mon, including a bug that caused Nano Boost to be removed from Moira when she used Fade. There is also a fix for an issue with the second attacker spawn on Paraíso that could extend into playable areas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So overall not that much has changed, but we got pretty cool adjustments for D.Mon, and a few important bugs got fixed. The patch went live last night, so if you try D.Mon again today, you should feel the difference. We will obviously need a little more time before knowing where D.Mon will settle in the Season 4 meta, but Blizzard clearly is not waiting around to address some of the new hero&#8217;s early issues.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ghost of Yōtei fans will be happy about this one! Sucker Punch has announced a new Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition, and it is bringing a ton of cool new content to the game. The Complete Edition launches on October 1st and will include the full game, a new story expansion, a single-player combat survival mode, and a few other extras.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you already own Ghost of Yōtei, you can just buy the $14.99 upgrade that will add the new content to your game without you having to purchase the entire thing again.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition - Announce Trailer | PS5 Games" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2bQrrWCRkMY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a completely new story expansion, a roguelike-inspired combat mode, and several smaller additions, this is a pretty substantial update for the game!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Echoes of Sekigahara</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16898" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The biggest addition is probably the expansion called Ghost of Yōtei: Echoes of Sekigahara. This is a new story expansion that will take Atsu through both the present and her past. In the present-day sections, you will explore a previously unseen valley that was once inhabited by The Snake and his loyal followers, the Vipers. This new story will also take Atsu back to the Battle of Sekigahara. There, you will relive an important moment from her life, before she returned home and began her journey of vengeance. On top of that, a new character named Nagato, who also comes from Atsu&#8217;s past, will play an important role as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And, of course, the expansion will also introduce new enemies, heavy weapons, armor sets, dyes, and more. So if you wanted to go back to Atsu, you will definitely have plenty to do in October!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roguelike Survival Mode</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16899" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second main addition is Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted, a new single-player combat survival mode inspired by roguelikes. You will be able to accept bounties to begin new runs, and if you succeed, you can earn perks and unlock additional characters. Different characters will also have their own strengths and weapons. Atsu, for example, specializes in the dual katana, Oyuki uses the kusarigama, and Nagato fights with a yari.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Considering how much the community has already enjoyed creating combat clips in Ghost of Yōtei, this mode seems specifically designed to give you another reason to experiment with the game&#8217;s combat system.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Comes With the Complete Edition?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition will cost $69.99 and includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The full Ghost of Yōtei game</li>



<li>Echoes of Sekigahara</li>



<li>Most Wanted</li>



<li>Ghost of Yōtei Legends, the online co-op mode supporting up to four players</li>



<li>All content from the Digital Deluxe Edition</li>



<li>The Charm of Hokkyokusei</li>



<li>New Watanabe Mode tracks</li>



<li>New Photo Mode stamps</li>



<li>Additional New Game+ cosmetics</li>



<li>New Trophies for the two new modes</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16900" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main game and Legends are available immediately when purchasing the Complete Edition, but Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted will be added through the October 1 patch. So this means that if you buy the Complete Edition now, you can already play through the main game and the Legends Co-op mode, but the new content will obviously only be added in October. It will then just be a normal patch to download with no additional cost.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a small bonus for players who pre-order by September 30. You will get early access to the Sakai Armor for Atsu on October 1, bringing back Jin&#8217;s iconic family armor from Ghost of Tsushima.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Existing Players Can Upgrade</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16901" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As mentioned before, if you have already bought Ghost of Yōtei, you do not need to purchase the Complete Edition. Sucker Punch is offering a Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Upgrade for $14.99. This gives existing owners access to the new expansion and survival mode. And if you only had the normal edition, the Digital Deluxe Edition content and Charm of Hokkyokusei will also be unlocked immediately when pre-ordering the upgrade.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Sakai Armor bonus is available here too if you pre-order by September 30.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Existing Owners Are Getting a Free Update Too</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also some good news for players who are not interested in buying the upgrade.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A free patch is coming on October 1 for everyone that will add a few new features to the base game, including Beauty of Yōtei, a new screensaver mode that lets you leave the environments of Ezo running on screen. It should also be useful for anyone who wants to simply sit back and admire the game&#8217;s environments or take some new Photo Mode screenshots.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update will also add some quality-of-life features, including the ability to keep the appearance of one armor set even when you are using the stats of another. A new high-contrast accessibility option will also be added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So even if you do not purchase the Complete Edition upgrade, you will still have some new content and features to check out. And Sucker Punch says they will share more details about Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted as October gets closer. So keep your eyes open for more!</p>

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Adds New Story Expansion and Survival Mode


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sony has something pretty big planned for Phantom Blade Zero! They announced a dedicated State of Play &#8220;gameplay deep dive&#8221; for the upcoming game, scheduled for August 17. So this means that it will not be your regular State of Play with multiple games. This one will focus entirely on Phantom Blade Zero and its gameplay systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The presentation will begin at:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>7 PM PT &#8211; August 17</li>



<li>10 PM ET &#8211; August 17</li>



<li>3 AM BST &#8211; August 18</li>



<li>4 AM CEST &#8211; August 18</li>



<li>10 AM CST &#8211; August 18</li>



<li>11 AM JST &#8211; August 18</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16893" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop.webp 1077w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For some parts of the world, that sadly means it will be live in the middle of the night. Luckily, the VOD will still be available to look it up once you wake up! And of course, you can watch it live on <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/playstation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitch</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/blh1v1dGJ2s?si=xTUmBApkFV7Bl1li" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Phantom Blade Zero Gameplay</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of the State of Play announcement, Sony also released an 11-minute-long extended pre-order trailer that shows you battling enemies on top of a speeding wagon and crossing blades with former comrades like The Hunt. But this is just a small part of what Phantom Blade Zero has to offer.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Phantom Blade Zero - Pre-Order Trailer | PS5 Games" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aOU7KOPGVYU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The upcoming State of Play is specifically made to show much more of the game&#8217;s combat systems, character builds, and dark wuxia-inspired world. The developers will use this to introduce characters that we have not seen yet, but who will play an important role in the story. They will also show just how much freedom you have with all these characters and their unique builds. Basically, you can expect way more depth when it comes to the combat and progression systems than what we have seen so far.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Donnie Yen Is Involved With the Game</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2026/08/11/watch-the-phantom-blade-zero-gameplay-deep-dive-state-of-play-on-august-17-pre-orders-live-today/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">official Blog Post</a>, PlayStation also revealed that Donnie Yen has been involved with the game. The martial arts star has been working as a creative consultant on Phantom Blade Zero since 2023, contributing his experience in martial arts and action filmmaking to the game&#8217;s combat design. He also plays Mó Yuan, the father of protagonist Soul, since he did the facial and motion capture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we have someone with plenty of experience in martial arts cinema to help make the combat feel authentic, and that can only mean good things for the game!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Phantom Blade Zero Pre-Orders Are Now Live</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pre-orders for Phantom Blade Zero are now also available on PS5 and Steam. The game will launch on October 29, 2026, and if you pre-order, you will receive two bonuses in sort of early access, since both will also be obtainable in-game later on. So the pre-order bonus is not locking exclusive content behind something you have to buy at least.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Treasure Basin accessory</li>



<li>The Legacy outfit</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ohatom-blade-zero-pre-order-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16894" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ohatom-blade-zero-pre-order-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ohatom-blade-zero-pre-order-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ohatom-blade-zero-pre-order-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ohatom-blade-zero-pre-order-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ohatom-blade-zero-pre-order.webp 1560w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, the big thing to look forward to is the upcoming State of Play. And considering the developers specifically say the trailer was only the beginning, there should be quite a bit of new footage to look forward to!</p>

Phantom Blade Zero Gets Its Own State of Play


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV developers have pushed the game&#8217;s release to the end of the year, delaying it from its original September 17th launch date.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dawn of War IV Release Delay</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a video released today, Game Director Jan Theysen explained why the team decided to delay <a href="https://all.gg/news/dawn-of-war-iv-reveals-the-necrons-in-new-faction-trailer/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dawn-of-war-iv-reveals-the-necrons-in-new-faction-trailer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dawn of War IV</a>. Put simply, the developers believe pushing back the release is the right move to give the team more time to incorporate community feedback, improve performance, and squash additional bugs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal is to make launch day as smooth as possible, and the team believes this extra time will help them get there.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Theysen also reassured the community that the feedback players have provided has already had a real impact on the game&#8217;s development. While fans will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on Dawn of War IV, the developers aren&#8217;t going quiet in the meantime. More deep dives, developer talks, and other videos are rolling out in the coming months to keep fans updated while the team prepares for launch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of that, the roadmap for Dawn of War IV is getting additional updates because of the delays.</p>

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV has been delayed to late 2026 as developers take more time to improve the game and address player feedback.


Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Delayed to Late 2026


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deadlock just got its first round of patch notes since <a href="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-ranked-matchmaking-update-is-finally-here/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/deadlock-ranked-matchmaking-update-is-finally-here/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the matchmaking update</a>. While these changes are small, they do still impact a handful of characters like McGinnis, Doorman, and others.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">08-12-2026 Patch Notes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There aren&#8217;t many changes this time around, but there are some major nerfs, mainly for McGinnis, and some that nerf some Doorman playstyles, Gun Lash, and more.</p>

</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To highlight some of the biggest Deadlock nerfs, one of the biggest is to Doorman. Walkers now wait for the Luggage Cart animation to finish to stomp. This is severely going to nerf the kidnapping playstyle Doorman players have come to commonly adopt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also a ton of nerfs for McGinnis, nerfing her turrets, gun scaling, and changing around her Medicinal Specter. Other notable changes are Apollo now lifesteals more, Vipers: Petrifying Bola has a larger AoE, and nerfs to gun Lash.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Deadlock’s first patch since the matchmaking update brings major McGinnis nerfs, Doorman changes, Apollo buffs, and more.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The continuous fight for democracy just got a lot more horrifying. Helldivers 2 is back with a major update alongside the <a href="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-warhammer-40k-warbond-is-out-now/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-warhammer-40k-warbond-is-out-now/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warhammer 40K Warbond</a>. Now the servants of democracy are under Illuuminate threat once again as new monsters emerge from the Void.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Journey to the Void</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This major update sees the focus of Super Earth shift to the reemerging threat of the Illuuminates. Every Helldiver will receive new missions and objectives to conquer–destroy Illuminate spires and gateways, complete data reconnaissance, and infiltrate Illuminate structures with your team.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But new threats lurk in the shadows, freshly emerging from the void. The quick and agile Wretch, who can quickly ambush and overwhelm defenders. Aim for the limbs. On the opposite side, we have the Crusher, a slow, tanky, unstoppable force, which will regenerate if not constantly taking damage. Bring fire, and lots of it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Backup Has Arrived</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s not all; the Seaf are being deployed along with the Helldivers. Now amped up and better than ever, squads of Seaf soldiers now deploy with a variety of different units. Some include a squad leader, rifleman, support, and a medic. These backup forces will follow into primary objectives and help clear obstacles in their path. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But they aren&#8217;t Helldivers, and if enemy forces become too numerous, they will quickly be overwhelmed. So watch out for your fellow human!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Planet Broke Before the Guard Did</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After months of speculation, the Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 warbond is finally here. Giving Helldivers two new armor sets that come with a new passive. Three new weapons: a primary, a sidearm, a throwable, and a support weapon. Along with some new patterns for 4 vehicles and the Helldiver Pod. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="HELLDIVERS™ 2 x WARHAMMER 40,000: Castellan’s Creed is out now!" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PN-PCHmD1d8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the weapons, we got:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>R/40-K Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle</strong></li>



<li><strong>P/40-K Bolt Pistol</strong></li>



<li><strong>G/40-K Meltamine</strong></li>



<li><strong>40-K Meltagun Stratagem</strong></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Weapons from Warhammer are notoriously powerful, and thankfully they live up to that hype. However, the two biggest weapons from this Warbond are easily the Bolt Pistol and the Meltagun. The reason is that both of these weapons make very quick work of any high-armor targets, especially the Meltagun, which, if you know what these weapons can do in the 20k universe, should be this strong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the armor sets, we got the:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>TG-122 Demo-Trooper</strong></li>



<li><strong>TG-8 Sharpshooter</strong></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both armor sets are fitted with the True Grit passive ability for boosts to all weapon handling and to support weapon reload speeds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for cosmetics, we got:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Capes and Player Banners:</strong>&nbsp;Camo Cloak and City Fighter’s Resolve</li>



<li><strong>Vehicle Pattern:&nbsp;</strong>Castellan’s Green pattern for the Shuttle, Hellpod, FRV, and Exosuit</li>



<li><strong>Player Title:</strong>&nbsp;Still Standing</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like the other Legendary Warbonds, such as <a href="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-halo-odst-legendary-warbond-full-reveal-and-all-halo-references/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Halo: ODST</a> or <a href="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-killzone-returns-with-a-free-legendary-warbond/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-killzone-returns-with-a-free-legendary-warbond/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Killzone</a>, the Warhammer 40,000 warbond will cost you 1500 Super Credits</p>

The long-awaited Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 Warbond is finally here, bringing new armor, weapons, cosmetics, and the devastating Meltagun.


Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Warbond Is Out Now


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The hype around Insomniac Games&#8217; Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man series is once again reaching pretty ridiculous levels thanks to Brand New Day that is currently still running in theaters, and now we may have our first real indication that the next main game is in production. A Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 3 page has appeared on IMDb, with the game listed as in production and a few familiar names attached to the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, this is not quite the same as Sony or Insomniac officially announcing the game, so it should still be treated with a little caution. It is also good to note that any registered user can technically create such a page on IMDb, so this might not even be official. But the listing is interesting enough to point it out because the information also fits with previous leaks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spider-Man 3 Has Apparently Entered Production</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The IMDb listing credits Bryan Intihar and Ryan Smith as game directors, and both worked on the previous Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man games. Even more interestingly, Yuri Lowenthal is listed as returning as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. As mentioned, this listing has reportedly appeared on both IMDb&#8217;s regular database and IMDb Pro, and its latest entry dates back to January 2026. Most importantly, the project is listed as being in production and not pre-production.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 has shown up on IMDb Pro (both paid and free versions) and the IMDb database. The last official entry was in January 2026, confirming the title is in production and not pre production. <br><br>Official Link: <a href="https://t.co/zNig8B5aIk">https://t.co/zNig8B5aIk</a> <a href="https://t.co/zAFLuCRnHQ">pic.twitter.com/zAFLuCRnHQ</a></p>&mdash; SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY &#8211; NOW PLAYING IN CINEMAS (@SpiderManCD) <a href="https://x.com/SpiderManCD/status/2087132222255935992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That does not tell us when the game could be released, but if real, it would suggest that Insomniac&#8217;s next Spider-Man project is already well beyond the simple concept stage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Timing Makes Sense</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The timing is particularly interesting. <a href="https://egw.news/gaming/news/36619/imdb-claims-marvels-spider-man-3-is-now-in-product-RQ3107yOE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A leak from 2023 already suggested</a> that the studio had plans for both Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 3 and a Marvel&#8217;s Venom spin-off, but none of those have been officially confirmed at the time. The Venom project was reportedly intended to follow the same kind of approach as Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, so focused on another character from the Spider-Man universe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There has also been some teasing from <a href="https://egw.news/gaming/news/33982/peter-parkers-actor-might-be-teasing-marvels-spide-X3zq-hTTG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yuri Lowenthal himself</a>, who hinted at Peter Parker&#8217;s return earlier this year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A third main Spider-Man game is hardly a shocking possibility. When we know how well the other two games did, it is pretty much logical that they would try to do a 3rd game. The first Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man became one of PlayStation&#8217;s biggest first-party successes, and Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 2 continued the story. With the characters and universe already established, another sequel would make plenty of sense for Insomniac. And with the recent success and renewed attention around the Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie, the timing certainly is not bad for the franchise either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, though, you should not expect a sudden Spider-Man 3 announcement just because of an IMDb listing, especially since it could not be an official listing. But the timing certainly makes it worth mentioning. Considering Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine is only a few weeks away from release, however, it might not be too long before we start getting a better idea of what is next for Insomniac&#8217;s Marvel universe.</p>

Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 May Be in Development at Insomniac


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine is releasing on September 15, 2026, and Sony has one more surprise for you when it comes to this game! Sony and Insomniac have revealed a new collection of Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 hardware and accessories, and Wolverine fans are getting quite a few different options to choose from. Inspired by Wolverine&#8217;s raw power and Insomniac Games&#8217; Battle Reborn suit and claws, the collection includes a new PS5 Digital Edition bundle, multiple console covers, and two different DualSense designs.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Wolverine Battle Yellow PS5</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main edition is the &#8220;PS5 Digital Edition &#8211; Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle&#8221;, that comes with the console, a matching DualSense controller, and a game code for Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine. The console uses a bold yellow finish inspired by Wolverine, with claw marks running across the design. Sony says the design is intended to give players a look underneath the PS5&#8217;s exterior, with the claw-slashed details giving it a much more aggressive appearance than the standard console.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The matching Battle Yellow DualSense follows the same design, with claw marks inspired by Wolverine&#8217;s famous adamantium claws. The Battle Yellow DualSense will also be sold separately.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PS5 and PS5 Pro Console Covers</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, if you already own a PS5, you do not necessarily need another console. Do not worry, you can still customize yours with the new Wolverine design! Sony is also releasing Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine console covers separately for those who would just want to swap the covers on their own console. The Battle Yellow covers will be available for both PS5 and PS5 Pro.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a second design specifically for the PS5 Pro.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Adamantium PS5 Pro Design</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ps5-wolverine-adamentium-1024x683.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16868" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ps5-wolverine-adamentium-1024x683.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ps5-wolverine-adamentium-300x200.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ps5-wolverine-adamentium-768x512.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ps5-wolverine-adamentium-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ps5-wolverine-adamentium-2048x1365.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition PS5 Pro Console Covers are inspired by the adamantium bonded to Logan&#8217;s skeleton and claws. So if you are not a fan of the full yellow look, this version uses a metallic design and still keeps the claw-slashed details from the Battle Yellow version. Sony is also releasing a matching Adamantium Limited Edition DualSense controller with the same metallic finish.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-ada-controller-1024x683.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16869" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-ada-controller-1024x683.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-ada-controller-300x200.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-ada-controller-768x512.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-ada-controller-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-ada-controller-2048x1365.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So there are essentially two different Wolverine versions available: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The colorful Battle Yellow design inspired by the character&#8217;s suit</li>



<li>The darker metallic Adamantium design inspired by Wolverine&#8217;s skeleton and claws</li>

Sony has revealed Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 designs, including Battle Yellow and Adamantium console covers and controllers.


Marvel’s Wolverine Gets a Stunning PS5 Limited Edition


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are like us and waiting for the release date announcement of the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, this one might make your day! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We may have accidentally gotten a first look at what could be a The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 console and Pro Controller. And if these <a href="https://x.com/Stealth40k/status/2087198867670315315?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">leaked designs</a> are real, Zelda fans have something pretty special to look forward to. Images showing what appear to be the unfolded packaging designs for the console and controller have been shared, with the artwork and branding Nintendo could use for a future Zelda-themed Switch 2 release.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As always with leaked material like this, none of it has been officially confirmed by Nintendo, so it should be treated as a rumor for now!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Zelda Switch 2 With Plenty of Gold</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The leaked Switch 2 design is clearly leaning into the classic Zelda look, with the dock featuring a combination of black and gold and a huge Triforce design in the middle. The Joy-Con 2 controllers are also shown with a green color scheme and Triforce patterns, fitting the series&#8217; iconic association with Link. A Triforce symbol is also featured on the left Joy-Con.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="656" height="800" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-switch-leak.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16860" style="width:527px;height:auto" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-switch-leak.webp 656w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-switch-leak-246x300.webp 246w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If this is real, the overall design is just amazing compared to some special-edition consoles that the Switch got. The black, gold, and green combination works extremely well for a special edition themed around Zelda. Even the packaging itself is perfect! It also has a 40th anniversary logo for The Legend of Zelda, with Link depicted in his original 8-bit style.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Pro Controller Looks Just as Good</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The leaked Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller follows a similar black, gold, and green color scheme. In the middle, you have the Hylian Crest. And it is honestly perfectly fitting in between the controller&#8217;s buttons. Left and right of the controller you have additional black and green handles, and around the Crest, a ton of golden and black Triforces. A lot of details that clearly give it a distinctly Zelda-inspired look.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="746" height="800" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-controller.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16861" style="width:516px;height:auto" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-controller.webp 746w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-controller-280x300.webp 280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Nintendo really releases this design, it could become one of the best special editions for Switch 2.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could It Be Connected to Ocarina of Time?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is already plenty of speculation about when Nintendo could officially reveal the console. One possibility being that Nintendo could announce the Zelda 40th anniversary edition alongside news about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We know that the remake is going to release before the end of the year, so the timing of the leak is definitely fitting. It could be announced at the same time as the release date for the remake, with a special edition that combines the exclusive console and the game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, that is speculation on top of a leak, so it is worth keeping expectations in check. For now, we will have to wait for Nintendo to make things official. If these leaked designs turn out to be real, though, that Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 is looking pretty damn good.</p>

Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console and Controller Designs Leak


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Elder Scrolls VI has been one of those games we have heard about for so long that even the smallest update is enough to get everyone as excited as kids opening their Christmas presents. And Xbox CEO Asha Sharma may have just given us one of the most interesting updates we have had so far about this very mysterious game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yesterday, Sharma revealed that she recently got to experience a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI, and she had some pretty good things to say about what she saw.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI: ******** this morning. The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater.</p>&mdash; ASHA (@asha_shar) <a href="https://x.com/asha_shar/status/2087258678000779664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a very simple sentence, but in a way, it means a lot. Especially since Bethesda has kept extremely silent about the game for years. But Sharma&#8217;s post also included something else: a mysterious subtitle.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Elder Scrolls VI: ********</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In her post, Sharma referred to the game as:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Elder Scrolls VI: ********</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yep, eight asterisks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, people immediately started wondering if those eight characters are really meant to represent the length of the game&#8217;s subtitle, or if it is just a random number. But why even put asterisks if it is random? Sharma could simply have used the asterisks to hide the subtitle without intending to indicate the exact number of letters, but if this was the case, she could have just put &#8220;The Elder Scrolls VI&#8221; without adding anything to it. Still, if the eight-character clue is deliberate, it gives fans something to talk about. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://x.com/SynthPotato/status/2087262627550425335?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Players started to speculate</a> about the subtitle, pointing out that if it has 8 letters, it means that it is probably not &#8220;Hammerfell&#8221; then. One particularly obvious possibility would be Redguard. The name has an obvious connection to The Elder Scrolls&#8217; lore, but there is currently nothing suggesting that this is really what Bethesda has chosen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It could just as easily be another word entirely.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Game Is Clearly Running Internally</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The more important part of Sharma&#8217;s post may be the fact that she has now played a live build of The Elder Scrolls VI. This clearly means that they are indeed working on it, and that things are moving forward enough for them to show early gameplay. That does not necessarily mean the game is close to release, though. Bethesda has still not announced a release date or even a proper launch window for The Elder Scrolls VI. The fact that Xbox executives can now sit down and play through the game is encouraging, but there is still a huge difference between having a playable internal build and being ready to launch a massive open-world RPG.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, after more than eight years since The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, it is hard not to get excited when someone at Xbox casually posts that they have just played it and that it is amazing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we just need Bethesda to show it to the rest of us.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-summer-screams-event-is-live/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-summer-screams-event-is-live/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Summer Screams Event</a> for Dead by Daylight is now in its final week. With that, the Lights Out game mode is being snuffed out, and the fan-favorite 2V8 is returning for one week.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Killers Two Problems</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right: to round out the end of the Summer Screams Event for Dead by Daylight is the fan-favorite 2V8 event. However, if you are one of the thousands of new players since the <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-hits-record-players-during-10th-anniversary-event/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-hits-record-players-during-10th-anniversary-event/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10th anniversary event</a> and don&#8217;t know why this is a fan-favorite game mode, let us quickly explain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the name suggests, 2V8 doubles the lobby size. That means two killers and eight survivors. However, there are a lot more changes beneath the surface:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both Survivors and Killers can choose from a variety of <strong>Classes</strong>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Class List: (Survivor) </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Escapist</li>



<li>Guide</li>



<li>Medic</li>



<li>Scout</li>



<li>Torchbearer</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Class List: (Killer) </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Brute </li>



<li>Enforcer</li>



<li>Fearmonger </li>



<li>Shadow</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Which allow them to do different things. Every Killer has 3 &#8220;Skills&#8221; that come with their class: 1 specific one to power them up for 2v8, and the other 2 come from their class and are shared by all Killers. You cannot bring Offerings, Perks, Addons, or items.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each map has been supersized and has a handful of changes. Some of which include 20 Chest spawns, 3 Hatches &amp; Exit Gates. Plus, there are no Hooks; instead, Killers must use Cages of Corruption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for what Killers you can play, the following are currently in 2V8:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Trapper</li>



<li>Wraith</li>



<li>Hillbilly</li>



<li>Nurse</li>



<li>Huntress</li>



<li>Spirit</li>



<li>Ghost Face</li>



<li>Oni</li>



<li>Deathslinger</li>



<li>Executioner</li>



<li>Blight</li>



<li>Nemesis</li>



<li>Mastermind</li>



<li>Good Guy</li>



<li>Dark Lord</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, despite all of these massive changes, 2v8 does remain a community favorite mode. The only problem is that Killer queue times are extremely long, with some reports saying that it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get into one match as Killer. Meanwhile, Survivors can get into a game in under 10 seconds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hopefully, some adjustments are made, but who knows for a game mode that&#8217;s only lasting a week.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The action-packed FPS <a href="https://all.gg/news/sprawl-zero-steals-steam-next-fest-spotlight-with-brutal-cyberpunk-fps-action/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/sprawl-zero-steals-steam-next-fest-spotlight-with-brutal-cyberpunk-fps-action/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SPRAWL Zero</a> has officially announced its release date: September 8th, 2026. So, mark your calendars, because based on how the demo feels and the direction development is taking, we might have a truly <a href="https://all.gg/news/one-of-the-best-retro-fps-games-cultic-comes-to-consoles/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/one-of-the-best-retro-fps-games-cultic-comes-to-consoles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revolutionary FPS</a> on our hands.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enact the Directive</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SPRAWL Zero, the sequel to the hit retro Y2K-inspired FPS <em>SPRAWL</em>, is finally getting ready to launch, and we cannot express how excited we are. For those unfamiliar, <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> is a fast-paced shooter inspired by the Golden Age of 2000s FPS games, taking notes from classics like the original <em>FEAR</em> games and early <em>Halo</em> titles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What makes <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> so compelling is how flawlessly it captures that early-2000s era of gaming. From its art direction and soundtrack to its movement, gunplay, and environmental details, everything feels carefully crafted to recreate that distinct era of FPS games.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers have also been incredibly open about the game&#8217;s development, but if there is one thing we&#8217;re especially excited about, it&#8217;s the enemy AI.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Execute</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Few games have ever managed to make enemy AI move, react, and predict the player&#8217;s actions quite like the original <em>FEAR</em>. Enemies wouldn&#8217;t blindly charge at you; they&#8217;d assess the situation. If they didn&#8217;t have the numbers, they might hold back, while enemies could attempt to flush you out, flank your position, or force you out of cover if you stayed in one spot for too long.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>SPRAWL Zero</strong> is taking plenty of notes from this approach and <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3748520/view/694264948876903912?l=english" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3748520/view/694264948876903912?l=english" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">implementing its own version of intelligent enemy AI</a>. We&#8217;ve already got a small taste of what the developers are cooking, and it could end up being one of the game&#8217;s biggest strengths.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Better yet, <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/SPRAWL_zero_Demo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/SPRAWL_zero_Demo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the demo is still available</a> on Steam if you want to experience <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> for yourself. Plenty of players already have, resulting in an <strong>Overwhelmingly Positive</strong> rating for the demo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game&#8217;s audience and hype have continued to grow since this year&#8217;s Steam Next Fest, and with the September 8th release date now locked in, we&#8217;re more than ready to see what <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> can do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


With its gritty cyberpunk aesthetic and Y2K-inspired style, SPRAWL Zero is shaping up to be a must-play FPS this September.


SPRAWL Zero Finally Gets a Release Date


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stonewards officially launched into early access today, and along with the celebration, the developers have also dropped a brand-new roadmap that showcases over a dozen updates planned between now and 2027.</p>

This is pretty good news for everyone who likes hunting down every achievement in a game, and The Blood of Dawnwalker has already got plenty waiting for you. The developers have revealed that the upcoming RPG will launch with 46 Steam achievements on day one, so we will have a ton of challenges to complete as we explore Vale Sangora.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The full list includes 25 visible achievements and 21 hidden achievements, with the latter keeping their requirements secret until players unlock them. This is to avoid important spoilers, obviously.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The achievement list is not simply focused on completing the main story.

<li>Witchcraft</li>



<li>Exploration and discovery</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Will Need More Than One Playthrough</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers also point out that one playthrough will not be enough to unlock every achievement. So if you are the type of player that wants to complete all the achievements in one go, you will sadly be disappointed by this one. It is not particularly surprising considering The Blood of Dawnwalker is built around choices and consequences, meaning you can experience different outcomes depending on the decisions you make throughout your journey. SO some achievements probably involve making different choices, hence why you need more than one playthrough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 21 hidden achievements will also remain secret until they are earned, so you will have some additional surprises waiting for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, how many are you planning to unlock?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Persona 4 Revival launches on February 18, 2027, and is a pretty ambitious remake!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a <a href="https://www.gamerbraves.com/producer-wada-kazuhisa-talks-persona-4-revival-rebuilding-inaba-reworking-combat-and-keeping-the-heart-of-the-original-intact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new interview with GamerBraves</a>, producer Wada Kazuhisa discussed how Atlus is rebuilding Persona 4 for modern platforms, from completely reworking Inaba in 3D to introducing new combat mechanics, and, at the same time, also explaining how the team is trying to keep what made the original game so special. There is a lot of information shared during this interview, so if you want to know about everything, we recommend you check it out. But here is everything we learned from it in the big lines.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inaba Is Being Rebuilt in Full 3D</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest changes in Persona 4 Revival is the way players will explore Inaba. The original game used fixed 2D backgrounds, but the remake replaces those with fully explorable 3D environments and a rotatable camera. Atlus used the original backgrounds as a starting point, then expanded areas that were previously hidden or simply implied by the game&#8217;s camera angles.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Based on the image of the game screen at that time, we expanded the image of the actual location that we had originally imagined. We replaced the invisible part of the image and made it feel more realistic&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The team also looked at the real-world locations that inspired Inaba, using them as references to make the town feel more believable. Of course, rebuilding an entire town in 3D also comes with some pretty significant development challenges. Wada explained that the team had to carefully decide how much detail to put into larger environments, and, at the same time, keep the project within its development time and budget.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The remake is also giving many of Persona 4&#8217;s story scenes a huge visual upgrade. A lot of the original 2D anime sequences have been recreated as fully in-game 3D cinematics. Some visual-novel-style conversations have also been turned into more traditional cutscenes. Wada said the experience Atlus gained when they were developing Persona 3 Reload helped the team improve its tools and workflow for creating these 3D scenes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16828" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal is not to change the story, but to make its biggest moments feel more immersive. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite all the visual changes, Atlus does not want Persona 4 Revival to lose the personality of the original game. Wada specifically reassured everyone that the characters&#8217; personalities have not been removed or toned down. The original story and characters remain intact, although some dialogue has been rewritten where the team felt certain lines were awkward, overly complicated, or simply dated. The iconic retro TV and pop-art-inspired user interface is also staying, even if it has been modernized to make it easier to use.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MAPPA Is Returning</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16827" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fans of the anime sequences will also have something to look forward to, as MAPPA is returning for Persona 4 Revival. The studio previously worked on the opening animation for Persona 5 Royal, and it is now producing animated sequences for the remake. Interestingly, Wada also teased that additional MAPPA animations have not been revealed yet, so this means that there could be more to see beyond what has already been shown.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;MAPPA have been very nice to work with, taking our requests kindly, and it&#8217;s been a pleasurable experience. Their animations are very good, especially the protagonist&#8217;s awakening scene.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Persona 4 Golden Content Is Included</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For anyone wondering how much of Persona 4 Golden is being added to the remake, Wada confirmed that Revival will include almost all of Golden&#8217;s additional content. This includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>All the extra stories</li>



<li>All side content</li>



<li>True ending.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important exception is the Program Ticket feature. And Atlus is also adding new types of social interactions that were not present in either of the original versions of the game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dungeon Rework and New Combat Mechanics</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16829" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The dungeons are also being redesigned with the goal of making exploration less stressful and more enjoyable. Atlus is taking advantage of the remake&#8217;s improved visuals to make the areas much more immersive, with their atmosphere becoming stranger and more unsettling as you progress inside of them. Wada specifically highlighted the first confrontation between the characters and the Shadows as an example of how much the presentation has changed. The sequence has been significantly reworked to make it more cinematic, and he believes the new version will have a much stronger impact than the original.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Combat is receiving some changes as well. Persona 4 Revival introduces new mechanics called Prime Time and Send Flying, and it also brings back systems such as Baton Pass and individual character follow-up attacks. Prime Time and Send Flying do not consume SP and can be used freely when their conditions are met. Atlus designed them to be easy to use.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the same time, some of the original mechanics are being removed.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The tag-team combos from Persona 4 Golden are not returning </li>



<li>The bike-related battle mechanic is also being removed to make room for the new systems</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wada Would Like to See Persona 1 and 2 Remakes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the most interesting little tease from the interview came when Wada was asked about Atlus eventually remaking the first two Persona games. He could not confirm that anything is currently in development, so this definitely is not an announcement of Persona 1 or Persona 2 remakes. However, Wada did give a surprisingly positive personal answer, since he said that he believes remaking them is something Atlus should do. That is obviously not enough to confirm that those projects are even being considered, but if Wada thinks it is a good idea, maybe he can convince them to do it! However,  Atlus&#8217; resources might be focused on future projects such as Persona 6 instead, so take it with a grain of salt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wada has worked on the Persona series across multiple roles, from designer to director and eventually head producer, making Persona 4 particularly important to him personally. His biggest hope for Persona 4 Revival is that players will finish the game and want to return to Inaba, or simply wish they could spend more time there. He also credited Persona 3 Reload with providing important groundwork for the remake, particularly when it came to localization, multi-platform development, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if Wada&#8217;s comments are anything to go by, the team is not finished showing us everything it has planned just yet.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Summer vacation is almost over, and everyone is currently going over what is left to come for the rest of the year and the first quarter of 2027. Square Enix is not different, so here is an updated look at their upcoming lineup, so you can get a better idea of what is coming over the next year. They currently have a few main releases scheduled between September 2026 and early 2027, including new Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts games.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The list has been shared by <a href="https://x.com/Genki_JPN/status/2086721946033791406?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genki_JPN on Twitter/X</a>, so big thanks to him!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here is the current schedule:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Dragon Quest XI S &#8211; Nintendo Switch 2</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>September 24, 2026</li>
</ul>

<li><strong>Kingdom Hearts Collection</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>October 8, 2026</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Final Fantasy Resonance</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>October 22, 2026</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>December 3, 2026</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Final Fantasy VII Revelation</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Spring 2027</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>January 2027</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And on top of this list, there are two games that are anticipated by a ton of players, but that are still without a release date.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Kingdom Hearts 4 </li>



<li>Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both have been announced or at least teased, and we know they are planned and being worked on, but they are still listed as TBA, with no release date in sight. Hope is for some sort of new announcement during Gamescom for these two, but nothing has been confirmed or anything like that so far, so it might just be us hoping for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even if two games have no dates yet, Square Enix has a pretty good roadmap for the end of the year and start of 2027, especially with the new FFXIV Evercold expansion, the Kingdom Hearts collection, and the last part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake! If you are a Square Enix fan, you will have plenty to do until they properly announce Kingdom Hearts 4 and Dragon Quest XII.</p>

Square Enix Reveals Upcoming Lineup for Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and More


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Telltale is teaming up with Steam and other narrative game developers for a special event! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are a fan of games where your decisions and choices really matter, there is a pretty good reason to check Steam right now. Telltale is hosting the &#8220;<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/sale/Choices-Matter-Festival?tab=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Choices Matter Festival</a>,&#8221; a new Steam sale focused on narrative or &#8220;choice-based&#8221; games. You can find a huge selection of titles that got some pretty heavy discounts. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Festival is running until August 17, so you have a few days to pick up some of these games for very little money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, there are far too many games included to list everything here since you can find a little bit over 100 games with reduced prices, but there are some particularly good deals worth checking out! So we put together the games with the best deals that are worth picking up.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quantic Dream Goes Under €1</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best deal might be coming from Quantic Dream, with both Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls currently available for just €0.99 each. Considering you are getting two complete narrative-focused games for less than the price of a coffee, it is hard to complain about those prices. Both are amazing games, and it is hard to argue against buying them when they cost so little!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These two games are particularly interesting if you like investigation, mysteries, and a lot of action despite it being a narrative game. Both are psychological thrillers where, on one side, you follow a girl on a journey to find where she comes from and why she has powers, and on the other side, you follow four characters on the hunt for a murderer known only as the Origami Killer. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And when it comes to Quantic Dream and narrative games, there is one game that is definitely worth picking up, especially when it only costs €7.99, and it is Detroit: Become Human! There is also an entire bundle available that includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Detroit: Become Human</li>



<li>Beyond Two Souls</li>



<li>Heavy Rain</li>



<li>Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="827" height="330" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-quatinc.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16818" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-quatinc.webp 827w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-quatinc-300x120.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-quatinc-768x306.webp 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Telltale Games Are Heavily Discounted</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, a Telltale-hosted festival would not be complete if it did not include Telltale Games as well. Most of the studio&#8217;s catalog is heavily discounted, with many games costing €10 or less. And yes, that includes some of the studio&#8217;s best series, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Wolf Among Us</li>



<li>Batman: The Telltale Series</li>



<li>Tales from the Borderlands</li>



<li>The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series</li>



<li>And plenty more</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the best deals is arguably The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series, since it includes the complete series and is currently available for around €12. It includes all 4 seasons, but also 400 Days and the Michonne DLC, so over 50 hours of gameplay and 23 episodes in total!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is a pretty easy recommendation if you have somehow never played Telltale&#8217;s The Walking Dead! It is definitely one of their best series!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Discounted Games </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="590" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-1024x590.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16819" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-1024x590.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-300x173.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-768x442.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative.webp 1184w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Life Is Strange games are also part of the festival, with most of the series currently available for around €20 or less. This also includes the remastered version of the very first Life is Strange for only 7.99 instead of 40! And for those who already played through that, DON&#8217;T NOD has a few additional narrative games that are also worth picking up, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Lost Records</li>



<li>Gerda</li>



<li>Twin Mirror</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, these are not the only discounted games. Here are some of the best narrative games you can play, and that are definitely worth buying during the sales:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Quarry</li>



<li>Lake</li>



<li>Killer Frequency</li>



<li>Esoteric EBB</li>



<li>Between Horizons</li>



<li>Zero Parades</li>



<li>Nobody Wants to Die</li>



<li>No, I&#8217;m Not Human</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also some much more recent games included in the sale, but their discounts are not quite as extreme. Directive 8020, for example, is currently priced at €39.99, and Life Is Strange: Reunion is available for around €26. So if you are looking for something newer because you already played the older classics, there are still a few options available.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="394" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/life-is-strange-reunion-steam-1024x394.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16820" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/life-is-strange-reunion-steam-1024x394.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/life-is-strange-reunion-steam-300x116.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/life-is-strange-reunion-steam-768x296.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/life-is-strange-reunion-steam.webp 1179w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Narrative Games Can Also Be Wishlisted</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The festival is not only about games that are currently on sale. It also highlights a selection of upcoming choice-based games that are not discounted, of course, since they have not released yet, but can already be wishlisted. You can already take a look at games such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Expanse: Osiris Reborn</li>



<li>The Wolf Among Us 2</li>



<li>Hope in the City</li>



<li>And more</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So even if you have already played most of the games on sale, the festival is also a pretty convenient way to discover some of the upcoming narrative games that are worth keeping an eye on. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Choices Matter Festival is a really good way to grab narrative games for a good price. Since these games are often rather short, a lot of players miss out on them because they do not want to put over 40 euros in a game that is mostly narrative with choices to make. So discounts like this, focused on those games, mean more players can discover some pretty amazing stories, for a very low price! So take a look at a few of these deals before they disappear!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that&#8217;s not all. Alongside the sales announcement, the developers are also teasing some big and exciting news coming in the near future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Naturalist Update</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The recently released Naturalist update was enough to push BALL x PIT over the 2 million copies sold mark. The free update added more content for players to enjoy, while also marking the <strong>final free update</strong> coming to the game following its launch in October 2025.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That doesn&#8217;t mean BALL x PIT is finished receiving new content, though. The developers plan to continue expanding the game through paid DLC, giving them plenty of opportunities to add new content in the future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you haven&#8217;t jumped into the game or grabbed a copy yet, there&#8217;s currently a special promotion running on Steam.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking for a brand-new hardcore open-world survival crafting horror game? Dandelion Void might be exactly what you&#8217;re looking for. This challenging survival game drops you aboard the starship Pergola, where hostile plantlife has completely consumed the vessel. Better yet, veteran <a href="https://all.gg/news/project-zomboid-reaches-124995-players-on-steam/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/project-zomboid-reaches-124995-players-on-steam/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Project Zomboid</a> modders are behind the game, bringing their experience to an entirely new survival horror experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is Dandelion Void?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right, Dandelion Void is being developed by veteran Project Zomboid modders, and their experience certainly shines through. The game&#8217;s camera, controls, and several of its mechanics may feel familiar to Project Zomboid players, but this is ultimately a completely new experience.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Dandelion Void - Wishlist Trailer" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rdZQb8uFx-Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Dandelion Void, you&#8217;ll explore the starship <em>Pergola</em>, uncover the fate of its long-dead crew, and struggle to survive against the horrific jungle that has consumed the once-abandoned vessel.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Pergola launched in the late 20th century in an alternate timeline. As the brutality of capitalism reached its zenith, popular uprisings fractured the United States and Europe into a jigsaw puzzle of separatist territories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In response, the scattered remnants of the old world&#8217;s powers united under a brutal military regime. This old guard stands in opposition to the optimism and pragmatism of the newly formed Workers United Government.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During a fragile window of ceasefire, a group of artists, scientists, and controversial financiers in the autonomous San Francisco Bay created the Acorn Starship Collective. Visionaries to some and gutless cowards to others, the ASC launched the Pergola toward an exoplanet believed to possess the potential for sustaining life, a journey expected to take a dozen generations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know nothing of this. Your eyes have never seen these long-dead founders, and your feet have never touched the soil of Earth or any other planet. Your world is one of cold steel bulkheads, winding jungle corridors, and the groan of unfamiliar machinery. You are alone.</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Ship, Your Grave</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Much like in Project Zomboid, survival means constantly managing your character&#8217;s basic needs. Hunger, thirst, and shelter are all important, but you&#8217;ll also need to keep an eye on your character&#8217;s happiness and comfort. However, instead of <a href="https://all.gg/news/necrofane-becomes-steams-next-indie-hit-with-50k-wishlists/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/necrofane-becomes-steams-next-indie-hit-with-50k-wishlists/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fighting against endless hordes of undead</a>, you&#8217;ll be battling the living growths that have infested the Pergola.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Scavenge the remains of the ship&#8217;s crew for useful supplies, cut down the spreading vegetation, and purge the jungle from the vessel&#8217;s aging metal corridors. You&#8217;ll even be able to establish your own home in an abandoned air duct, cramped office supply closet, or leafy hideaway beside a reactor cooling pool.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And because the team comes from the Project Zomboid modding community, they are building Dandelion Void with <a href="https://all.gg/news/hytale-mod-browser-arrives-in-just-3-weeks/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/hytale-mod-browser-arrives-in-just-3-weeks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">extensive modding support</a> in mind. In the future, purchasing the game will also give players access to its custom map editor and robust Lua API, giving aspiring modders plenty of tools to create their own content.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is currently no set release date for Dandelion Void, but the game is already available to wishlist on Steam. For fans of hardcore survival games, Project Zomboid, or unsettling sci-fi horror, this is definitely one worth keeping an eye on.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dozens of brand-new indie games release every week, each offering its own unique take on familiar genres. But every once in a while, a game comes along that refuses to stick to just one formula. Dark Light: Survivor is one of those games, seamlessly blending dark sci-fi action roguelike gameplay with ARPG loot systems and third-person shooter combat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Dark Light: Survivor?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, Dark Light: Survivor is a <a href="https://all.gg/news/machine-party-hits-500k-sales-with-lethal-co-op-chaos/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/machine-party-hits-500k-sales-with-lethal-co-op-chaos/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blend of several elements and different mechanics</a>, but we still start with the most eye-catching one. Dark Light allows the player to switch from multiple camera angles, going from a top-down view and TPS aiming to a third-person over-the-shoulder style.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Board the Phantom Train, humanity’s <a href="https://all.gg/news/dungeon-lurker-hits-50k-steam-wishlists/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dungeon-lurker-hits-50k-steam-wishlists/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">last hope for escaping the Dark Void</a>, and journey through a shattered multiverse.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This year&#8217;s Dead by Daylight Into the Rainbow fundraiser is coming to an end. Together, the community has raised over €28,000 for InterPride! This also means the community has reached every in-game stretch goal reward!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Into The Rainbow Rewards</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s always wonderful to see the community come together every year; helping raise this amount of money for a good cause is always heartwarming and truly shows the good side of Dead by Daylight&#8217;s community. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the rewards, you have until August 17th to redeem the following:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Pride Flashlight Charm &#8211; Rainbowbright</li>



<li>100,000 Bloodpoints &#8211; Intotherainbow2026</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, it&#8217;s always wonderful to see the community come together for these events, but perhaps when Into The Rainbow returns next year, the developers should amp up some of the rewards. The charms and badges are nice, but donating 15k for only 300 Iridescent Shards is a little on the low end.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, don&#8217;t forget today is the final day to grab any of the Dead by Daylight <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-pride-livestream-offers-free-twitch-drops/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-pride-livestream-offers-free-twitch-drops/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pride Twitch Drops</a>!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you play GTA mainly for the online and RP side of things, you might be disappointed by that one. It looks like GTA 6 could remain a single-player experience for quite some time after launch, as Rockstar does not appear to be in a hurry to talk about its next GTA Online. In a recent video, Jason Schreier said he does not expect to be talking about GTA 6 Online anytime soon, because Rockstar reportedly is not planning to discuss the multiplayer part in the near future.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Online for Launch</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We already knew that there would be no GTA 6 online for launch, so this is not completely unexpected. And also, GTA 5 Online has been a huge success for Rockstar and has continued receiving updates for years after the launch of GTA 5, so there is not necessarily much pressure for the company to immediately replace it with a new online mode. In fact, according to Schreier, the recent numbers show that GTA 5 Online could continue receiving support for quite a while, even if Rockstar has not provided a specific timeframe for when that support will end.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The idea of GTA 6 launching without its own Online mode would also give Rockstar more time to work on what could eventually become another huge long-term multiplayer experience. GTA Online was not available alongside GTA 5 at launch either, so it is also not something entirely new on this side. That said, Schreier&#8217;s comments do not necessarily mean that GTA 6 Online has been officially delayed. Rockstar has not announced a release date for the multiplayer mode in the first place, and they did not even properly reveal what their plans are for GTA 6 Online.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, you should simply expect GTA 6 to be a single-player game at launch, with Rockstar potentially taking its time before revealing what comes next. And honestly, considering how successful GTA Online has been, Rockstar probably has little reason to rush it. They can let us spend months exploring Vice City before eventually showing us what they have planned for GTA 6 Online.</p>

When is GTA 6 Online coming? According to Jason Shreier, not anytime soon, suggesting the game will remain a solo experience for a long time.


GTA 6 Online Could Come Much Later


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Half of 2026 is already over, but developers definitely still have plenty of things planned. And if we are talking about games to come, SEGA has shared an updated look at their upcoming games and release plans! It is a good time to go over the new dates and also remind us just how many of the publisher&#8217;s announced projects are still waiting for one. For the end of 2026 and start of 2027, SEGA currently has multiple main games planned already. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sonic Frontiers: Definitive Edition
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Already launched digitally on June 24, 2026</li>



<li>Physical version is scheduled to follow on September 17.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Metaphor: ReFantazio
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on November 12</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Stranger Than Heaven
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Releases on January 15, 2027</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Persona 4 Revival
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Releases on February 18, 2027</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is a pretty solid lineup for the next few months, but SEGA&#8217;s list of upcoming projects gets particularly interesting when you are looking beyond those confirmed dates. A lot of games are planned that do not even have dates yet!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lot of SEGA Games Still Do Not Have a Release Date</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sega&#39;s upcoming release schedule<br><br>&#8211; Persona 6, Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage release dates are still To Be Decided <a href="https://t.co/cBPk9tE1ls">pic.twitter.com/cBPk9tE1ls</a></p>&mdash; Genki✨ (@Genki_JPN) <a href="https://x.com/Genki_JPN/status/2085582471350141225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 7, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2027 will definitely include a lot more games coming from SEGA! Crazy Taxi: World Tour and Virtua Fighter: Crossroads, for example, are already planned for 2027, but they just do not have a specific date yet. But at least if you are waiting for any of those two, you know they are coming next year for sure. Unless things get delayed, of course.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But then, there is the much longer list of games simply marked as &#8220;TBD&#8221;, so no date at all, not even a year in sight:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Persona 6</li>



<li>Total War: Warhammer 40,000</li>



<li>Total War: Medieval III</li>



<li>Alien: Isolation 2</li>



<li>Golden Axe</li>



<li>Jet Set Radio</li>



<li>Streets of Rage</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that is where things get a little&#8230; funny. Some of these games were announced ages ago, meaning we have been hearing about them for a surprisingly long time without knowing when we will really be able to play them. A lot of SEGA&#8217;s projects were revealed very early in their development, and the current schedule shows that quite a few are still nowhere near having a public release date. Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with announcing a game early. Developers can change direction, projects can take longer than expected, and some games simply need years of development before they are ready to be shown.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But players are wondering if publishers should really announce games quite so early in development in the first place.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For them, there is a pretty obvious downside. Once a game has been announced, it is easy to start thinking about it as something that is coming soon. Then years go by with little or no information, and eventually it can feel like you are waiting forever for something that technically does not even have a release date yet. SEGA&#8217;s current lineup is a pretty good example of that. At least we now have some concrete dates to look forward to with Stranger Than Heaven and Persona 4 Revival! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the rest, it seems we will just have to keep waiting for SEGA to decide when they are finally ready to show us the rest.</p>

SEGA Lists Upcoming Games, but Many Still Do Not Have Release Dates


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overwatch Season 4 is almost here, since it literally launches tomorrow, on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Blizzard has not officially announced the exact launch time on its social media channels yet, but if we look at the current Season 3 Battle Pass countdown, we can pretty much estimate around what time the new season will launch. It also matches the launch time used for previous seasons, so you should expect Season 4 to go live at around 8 PM CEST on August 11.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And since this is a new update, we also have a short recap of everything coming with Season 4!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Season 4: Heroes of Busan Official Trailer | Overwatch" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DiIquLrEqC4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overwatch Season 4 Start Time</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Season 4 is starting on August 11 at the following times:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>11 AM PDT </li>



<li>2 PM EDT </li>



<li>3 PM BRT </li>



<li>7 PM BST </li>



<li>8 PM CEST </li>



<li>3 AM JST (August 12)</li>



<li>4 AM AEST (August 12)</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Again, these times have not been officially confirmed by Blizzard yet, but it just comes from the Battle Pass countdown and previous season launch times. So just keep in mind that the time could still change, or simply run late if there is any issue with the update. Make sure to keep your Bnet launcher open that day so the game can update as soon as it releases. And of course, as always, there might be a lot of queue when the season launches, so just be ready for that as well. You might not get in directly.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Tank Hero: D.Mon</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, the biggest addition coming with Season 4 is D.Mon, a new Tank hero who also pilots a Mech like D.Va. We already made <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatchs-new-tank-d-mon-is-a-mix-of-reinhardt-and-d-va/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an article where we detailed her kit, abilities, and specificities</a>, but here is a small recap of what D.Mon is all about! Unlike D.Va, D.Mon will use a melee weapon and a shield like Reinhardt, on top of having access to a machine gun, giving her both ranged and close-range options.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dmon-abilities-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16667" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dmon-abilities-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dmon-abilities-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dmon-abilities-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dmon-abilities-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/dmon-abilities.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Mythic Cosmetics</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As always, Season 4 will also introduce new Battle Pass content, including a Mythic Skin and a Mythic Weapon. The heroes receiving these new Mythic cosmetics have been revealed tonight during the release of the official launch trailer. You will be able to obtain a <strong>new skin for Genji and a weapon for Sojourn</strong>!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="572" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-genji-mythic-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16789" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-genji-mythic-1024x572.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-genji-mythic-300x167.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-genji-mythic-768x429.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-genji-mythic.webp 1329w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to the Battle Pass, it gets a pretty cool revamp! You do not have to pick every reward in a specific order anymore. From season 4 onwards, you can choose the skins in the order that you want. So every time you hit a milestone that contains a skin, it opens an additional window where you can pick the one you want first!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="575" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-bp-revamp-1024x575.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16788" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-bp-revamp-1024x575.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-bp-revamp-300x168.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-bp-revamp-768x431.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-bp-revamp-1536x862.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ow-bp-revamp.webp 1913w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Maps Are Getting Reworked</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Three existing maps will also receive reworks in Season 4:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Paraiso</li>



<li>Eichenwalde</li>



<li>Busan</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reworks will affect both the maps&#8217; visuals and layouts, and you can check out how they look after the rework here!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Skins, Events and More</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As usual, Season 4 will also bring a lot of additional content, including new skins, a collaboration and a new event! You can also expect a new hero balance update, with changes to hero stats, abilities and perks arriving alongside the new season. The exact changes will be revealed once Blizzard publishes the full patch notes. For now, here are all the new skins coming and some additional content you can expect:</p>

Overwatch Season 4 Release Date and Time, Map Reworks, and More


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Did Blizzard make the right move? It seems like they did indeed!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From what we can see, going back to Overwatch instead of <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-is-back-as-blizzard-kicks-the-2-and-adds-five-new-heroes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overwatch 2</a> may have been a pretty good move for them. According to a report from Windows Central, Overwatch recently delivered its strongest quarter since 2022, with Blizzard seeing huge growth for the game as it prepares to enter <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatch-2-reveals-d-mon-the-new-tank-hero/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Season 4</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reign of Talon Changed Everything</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The report did not just point out that they had their strongest quarter since 2022, but also noted that Blizzard has now achieved its first back-to-back years of growth since Overwatch originally launched in 2016, and even better, that Overwatch apparently came out on top among Xbox&#8217;s studios division.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This comes pretty much after Blizzard decided to drop the &#8220;2&#8221; from the game&#8217;s name and return to simply calling it Overwatch. The change was part of a big change for the game, and it appears to have resulted in a significant increase in its performance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a reminder, in February 2026, the game returned to its original name, Overwatch, and kicked off a new first Season of a year-long story arc called The Reign of Talon. The story follows Talon&#8217;s rise under the new character Vendetta that released not long ago, with comics, cinematics, and in-game events integrated into the gameplay. 5 new heroes were directly added when that first season launched, and 5 more were teased at that time. Right now, we have already obtained a few of these other 5 heroes, with <a href="https://all.gg/news/overwatchs-new-tank-d-mon-is-a-mix-of-reinhardt-and-d-va/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">D.Mon arriving with Season 4</a>! There are 2 left to go now.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="412" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Overwatch-Hero-Trailer-1024x412.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-12357" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Overwatch-Hero-Trailer-1024x412.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Overwatch-Hero-Trailer-300x121.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Overwatch-Hero-Trailer-768x309.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Overwatch-Hero-Trailer-1536x618.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/05/Overwatch-Hero-Trailer.webp 2000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Beginning</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, the numbers alone do not prove that removing the &#8220;2&#8221; is directly responsible for the game&#8217;s growth. Overwatch has received plenty of updates and changes alongside the rebranding, so there are likely a few factors contributing to its very good performance this year. The goal with the change was to constantly deliver &#8220;expansion-like&#8221; updates annually, and so far, it seems they are indeed delivering!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, seeing the game post its best quarter since 2022 is certainly impressive, especially after many years where Overwatch struggled to maintain players with the sequel. Season 4 is also coming up soon, so it looks like Blizzard has managed to get Overwatch back into a better position. It will be interesting to see if the game will continue to grow like this over the next few years.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu has had a rough launch, with fans praising its incredible visuals, art direction, and atmospheric horror while struggling with its somewhat clunky combat. Beyond the early optimization patches, one of the biggest requests from players was simple: give them more ways to defend themselves against the horrors lurking across the island. Thankfully, the latest patch finally answers those requests.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brace Yourself Against Darkness</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s been a few weeks since The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu launched, and the game has already experienced plenty of ups and downs. The developers have mostly fixed <a href="https://all.gg/news/the-mound-omen-of-cthulhu-launches-to-mixed-steam-reviews/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/the-mound-omen-of-cthulhu-launches-to-mixed-steam-reviews/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the performance problems</a> that plagued the game during launch and<a href="https://all.gg/news/the-mound-beta-patch-targets-performance-and-combat/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/the-mound-beta-patch-targets-performance-and-combat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> its beta patch</a>, but another problem continues to frustrate players: close-range combat.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="536" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/The-Mound-Omen-of-Cthulhu-Blocking-1024x536.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16760" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/The-Mound-Omen-of-Cthulhu-Blocking-1024x536.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/The-Mound-Omen-of-Cthulhu-Blocking-300x157.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/The-Mound-Omen-of-Cthulhu-Blocking-768x402.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/The-Mound-Omen-of-Cthulhu-Blocking-1536x804.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/The-Mound-Omen-of-Cthulhu-Blocking-2048x1072.webp 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before the latest patch, engaging in close range with a monster almost guarantees you won&#8217;t walk away unscathed. Players could either run and hope their stamina lasted or pull out their guns and risk alerting every creature in the jungle. The game offered little room for other options. Your character can’t outrun monsters forever, and the lack of a dodge mechanic made close encounters especially difficult.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, The Mound is a survival horror game, so players shouldn’t expect to cut through monsters with ease. The game wants you to feel vulnerable, and stealth should remain a perfectly valid strategy. However, the latest patch finally gives players another option by adding a brand-new blocking mechanic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers are also keeping a close eye on the mechanic and how it affects the overall flow of combat and player survival. Depending on how players adapt to the new system, further adjustments could follow in future updates.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Another Day, Another Record</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just when we thought things were finally going to calm down following the release of Build 42, the player count surged once again this weekend, smashing the previous record. As of the time of writing, the peak player count for Project Zomboid now sits at an impressive <strong>124,995 players</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we&#8217;ve said before, we&#8217;ll say it again: this is a monumental achievement. It speaks volumes about the love and passion the developers have poured into Project Zomboid throughout its many years of development. The community&#8217;s excitement and dedication are clearly playing a huge role as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At this point, though, there&#8217;s really no telling where the ceiling is. With the player count continuing to climb, who knows if we&#8217;ll be reporting on yet another Project Zomboid record in the near future?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It did not take long for AION 2 to make a change to its Founder&#8217;s Packs after player feedback came in about something important missing. A few weeks ago, we already <a href="https://all.gg/news/aion-2-reveals-early-access-date-and-founders-pack-details/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote an article about the different Founder&#8217;s Packs</a> and what you can get from them, but many players were not very happy with the content of the packs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We got a small recap for you, so here is what you could originally get from each pack:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Standard edition for $24.99:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>5-day Early Access</li>



<li>Daeva&#8217;s Campaign Supply Chest with early progression items</li>



<li>Exclusive &#8220;Vanguard of Atreia&#8221; title</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>Deluxe Founder&#8217;s Pack for $49.99:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>All Standard rewards</li>



<li>Ascended Daeva armor appearance</li>



<li>Eternal Sun weapon skin featuring unique visual effects</li>

<li>Black Dragon companion pet</li>
</ul>

</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Something Was Missing</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Knowing that AION 2 is an MMO, a lot of players felt like something was not right with these Founder&#8217;s Packs. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After reviewing all the feedback, the developers have announced that <strong>30 days of AION 2 membership will be included in every pack</strong>. The change applies both to players who have already purchased a Founder&#8217;s Pack and those who decide to purchase one in the future. As mentioned, this addition comes after the lack of subscription access became one of the biggest complaints surrounding the Founder&#8217;s Packs. The different tiers all provide a five-day head start, but none of them originally included access to the game&#8217;s separate membership subscription.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was particularly annoying for players because many other MMOs include a period of subscription access with their Founder or Early Access packages. So it felt just normal to have one here too. At least now, all Founders get 30 days of membership for free, meaning existing owners will also receive the additional benefit without having to purchase anything else. It is a relatively small change, but it does show that the AION 2 team is already paying attention to player feedback ahead of launch. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the five-day head start beginning on September 30, you can now also enjoy your free 30 days of membership automatically, and anyone purchasing a pack later will receive the same benefit.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Firstly, and likely the biggest change, is that Skull Merchant is getting a rework, and if you&#8217;ve played against her more than a few times, you clearly know what she&#8217;s in desperate need of one.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What are all good dwarfs known for? Mining for ores and gems. Building. Fighting. Holding grudges. Now you and your friends can embrace your inner dwarven lifestyle with Stonewards, a new 1-4 player co-op first-person roguelite defense game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Stonewards?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stonewards is a solo and 1-4 player co-op first-person roguelite defense game where a band of battle-ready dwarves leaves their base camp to answer distress calls from nearby dwarven kingdoms. Every mission sends you to a stronghold under threat. Your job is simple: dig, forge, and defend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After every wave of enemies, rush into procedurally generated mines to gather precious metals, rare materials, and whatever else looks important. Explore tunnels, uncover hidden caves, and haul everything back before the next wave closes in.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can also forge between waves as well, by spending whatever you dug up from the mines to craft arrows, repair defenses, and unlock random upgrades. <a href="https://all.gg/news/no-rest-for-the-wicked-is-more-than-a-souls-like-rpg/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/no-rest-for-the-wicked-is-more-than-a-souls-like-rpg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Obtain new strength, powers, magic</a>, better defenses, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what does combat look like? Simple. Monsters want to breach the walls every wave to get into the stronghold and bring the kingdom down with it. Hold the walls, coordinate with your squad, and use every tool at your disposal. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the enemy pushes through your defenses, fall back, regroup, and fight on, and <a href="https://all.gg/news/prelude-dark-pain-is-perfect-for-turn-based-rpg-fans/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/prelude-dark-pain-is-perfect-for-turn-based-rpg-fans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">if the kingdom falls, your run is over</a>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The hype surrounding Capcom&#8217;s continuing trend of remaking the classic Resident Evil games isn&#8217;t slowing down in the slightest. Since the Resident Evil: <a href="https://all.gg/news/resident-evil-veronica-remake-leak-suggests-semi-open-world/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/resident-evil-veronica-remake-leak-suggests-semi-open-world/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Veronica Remake </a>was first announced, the upcoming survival horror title has already gathered over 2 million wishlists, and that&#8217;s before the game even has a release date.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2 Million Zombies</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Capcom has been absolutely nailing it with the Resident Evil series over the past few years. Not only have the steady stream of remakes continued to resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise, but the series&#8217; newer entries have also proven to be massive hits in their own right.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, with Resident Evil: Veronica being the latest classic to get the remake treatment, we&#8217;re starting to see just how big the hype around these games has become. Reaching over 2 million wishlists for a Resident Evil game that doesn&#8217;t even have a set release date yet is an impressive milestone, and it shows just how much excitement there is for Capcom to revisit another fan-favorite entry.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today might be a lucky day for Octopath Traveler fans. It looks like Octopath Traveler 3 is not exactly off Team Asano&#8217;s radar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, <a href="https://dengekionline.com/article/202608/81765" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dengeki Online</a> sat down with some of the franchise&#8217;s main developers to talk about the history and future of the series. During the interview, Team Asano head and producer Tomoya Asano addressed the expectations surrounding a potential third main game, and his answers are pretty surprising! Asano said that the team is very much aware that fans are hoping to see Octopath Traveler III happen. The developers genuinely feel those expectations from the community, and they did not want to look like they were unaware of the demand.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We genuinely feel fans&#8217; expectations, I just wanted to convey that.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Team Asano head Tomoya Asano teases Octopath Traveller 3!<br><br>“Asano says his team is fully aware that anticipation for an “Octopath Traveler III” is incredibly high”<br><br>“We genuinely feel [fans’ expectations], I just wanted to convey that.”<br><br>“We cannot simply release something… <a href="https://t.co/tEwP0wOMZx">pic.twitter.com/tEwP0wOMZx</a></p>&mdash; Genki✨ (@Genki_JPN) <a href="https://x.com/Genki_JPN/status/2085525462454079488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 7, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Octopath Traveler 3 on Its Way?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In reality, not really. Or at least, not in the near future. Asano also shared that the team does not want to rush into making a third game just for the sake of it. If Octopath Traveler 3 does happen, they all want to make sure they can really take the series further. It has to be a meaningful third game that ends up as good, if not better, than the previous ones.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;We cannot simply release something half-baked&#8230; If we&#8217;re going to do it, we&#8217;re going to push the limits.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, even if this is not exactly a confirmation that Octopath Traveler 3 is in development, it is certainly a more encouraging statement than a simple &#8220;no comment.&#8221; Asano is clearly aware of how much players want another game, and it sounds like the team has some pretty high ambitions for what a third game could be. Overall, this is pretty good news!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, Square Enix has not officially announced Octopath Traveler III. You will have to keep waiting a little longer to see if Team Asano eventually gets the chance to push the series to its limits or not!</p>
