“After having run through his maintenance job, Will gets to sleep for the night.”

You’re probably wondering how much control we’ll have in Directive 8020 – I certainly was. This new installment seems to be Supermassive Games’ most technically complex yet, but I’m already sensing a conflict between the freedom to move around and the need for a compelling story. The big question is: can they combine the upcoming survival-horror elements with their usual, story-focused interactive gameplay?

I’m really excited about the new stuff they’re adding! They’re letting us actually control our Summons for a bit now, which sounds awesome. There’s also a new solo mode called The Conflux that’s supposed to be super challenging. And the price is pretty good – you can get the base game and the Endless Ragnarok expansion for $59.99, or you can just buy the expansion as an upgrade if you already have the game.

Jeff Grattis, head of games at Amazon, told Eurogamer that the company is looking into creating new games based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Goku shocked fans during the Majin Buu arc of Dragon Ball Z by revealing Super Saiyan 3, a powerful form with a unique look. Ever since, fans have hoped to see other Saiyans reach this level, and Vegeta finally did recently. While Vegeta’s achievement is exciting, some other Saiyans are long overdue for the transformation, and it would be fun to see what others would look like in this form.

Disney and Formula 1 are growing their collaboration, “Fuel the Magic,” and will now be featured at both the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix and the second race of the F1 Academy Series.

To play the new retro games added to Nintendo Switch Online, you’ll need an Expansion Pack subscription. Plus, you’ll need a Virtual Boy accessory that connects to your Switch.

If you have (or are planning to get) a Virtual Boy, here are the five new games available to Nintendo Switch Online members starting today.

The Plague Tale series is still one of gaming’s hidden gems, even seven years after the first game came out. A Plague Tale: Innocence, released in 2019, threw players into a grim medieval France filled with war, plague, and frightening supernatural events. Both Innocence and its sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, have been highly regarded for their compelling stories, immersive atmosphere, strong acting, and emotionally resonant characters. Now, Asobo Studio is continuing the saga with Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, a new game set 15 years before Requiem. This upcoming title looks set to significantly build on the series, demonstrating that Plague Tale has become much more popular and expansive than many initially anticipated.

As a huge Batman fan, I’ve been completely blown away by the new take on Scarecrow in the Absolute Universe! This redesign is seriously unsettling – a sewn-up mouth and button eyes? It’s brilliant! The latest issue, Absolute Batman #20, really delved into his psychology, giving us hints about how he actually uses fear as a weapon. But the biggest twist? He’s not going for jump scares or simple fear. This Scarecrow is all about inducing pure, crippling dread, and it’s genuinely terrifying to see how he’s approaching it.

Amazon MGM Studios is sharing behind-the-scenes looks at different parts of the movie and its characters. Their newest video focuses on the Sword of Power and also gives us the first glimpse of Moss Man, a heroic character from the original cartoon. In the video, Moss Man talks about the rediscovered sword with Ram Man and Fisto. He looks just like he stepped out of the cartoon! You can see him in the image and video below, starting around the 29-second mark.
