To run this, you’ll need at least an Intel Core i5-8500 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1660 (with 6 GB of memory) or Radeon RX 5500 XT (with 8 GB). For a smoother experience, we recommend an Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500, 16 GB of RAM, and either an RTX 2060 Super (8 GB) or a Radeon RX 6600 (8 GB). The amount of storage needed isn’t listed yet, as the game is still in development.

McVicker reports that previous big updates to Source 2 focused on adding new capabilities. This latest update, however, is different – it’s about using automation to improve performance and free up resources for other game elements. The sound and fluid simulation systems also appear to have been enhanced. These improvements probably won’t be used in games like Dota 2 or Counter-Strike 2, but are likely intended for HLX. Because of how Valve updates its engine, though, some of these features may eventually appear in Counter-Strike 2 as well.

The announcement of the manga’s ending came as a surprise to many fans, who thought it would continue into next year given the number of unresolved plot points. The story still had questions that needed answers, making the release date unexpected. However, the author, Mizuho, explained that she waited to announce the finale until she knew exactly when the story would end. She also thanked the magazine Hana to Yume for allowing her to work at her own speed. Earlier this year, Yona of the Dawn paused for three months to prepare for the ending. When it returned in October with Chapter 272, fans were disappointed to see Yona and her friends still struggling against the Dragon Gods.

The movie The Long Walk was considered impossible to adapt into a film, but it received excellent reviews and earned almost three times its $20 million production cost. You can now rent it online, and while official viewership numbers aren’t available yet, given the success of other Stephen King adaptations on HBO Max, it’s likely performing very well.

The Flood, often considered the most frightening enemy in the Halo series, hasn’t always felt as threatening as intended. While the original Combat Evolved presented a terrifying idea – a parasite that consumes and transforms everything it encounters – the Xbox’s limited technology held it back. What should have been a relentless alien invasion often appeared as awkwardly animated, bouncy blobs with poor accuracy. However, Halo: Campaign Evolved boasts the power to visually realize the Flood’s horror and finally deliver on their terrifying potential.

These heroic characters willingly give up their potentially endless lives to save others. Sometimes, they even die to demonstrate that there are real consequences, even for those who are immortal. This is a significant moment for popular immortal characters, but it still carries weight even when the character isn’t well-known. These immortals experienced death, making the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the world.

These stories aren’t necessarily groundbreaking; many of the documentaries feature tales already shared in other places. Over the years, countless interviews have covered familiar topics, like the humble beginnings of the phrase “Toasty!,” the spontaneous creation of Scorpion’s “Get Over Here!,” and the initial pitch for the first game being a project based on Jean-Claude Van Damme. At this point, series co-creator Ed Boon likely knows these stories – and has told them countless times – just as well as he remembers the original Scorpion Fatality input.

Anime has increasingly explored supernatural themes, but the types of creatures featured differ from story to story. The 1985 film Vampire Hunter D was a groundbreaking example, featuring a unique human-vampire hybrid who hunted other vampires. It’s still celebrated for its originality and detailed production. However, despite its success, vampires haven’t become a staple in anime. In fact, compared to Western shows and movies, they’re relatively uncommon. That’s what makes the seven series below stand out – they offer fresh and enjoyable takes on vampirism that viewers will love.

BitSummit 2026’s theme is ‘High Impact,’ encouraging developers to make a significant difference in the gaming industry with the tools they already have. The organizers believe that games, fueled by creativity and passion, have the potential to be truly powerful and even change the world – going beyond simply being well-made or efficient.
