It seems Marathon is currently falling short of expectations, and Bungie’s future plans will likely confirm this. The developer is about to take a big gamble with the game that, in my view, risks pushing away the players it needs to succeed financially and recover its substantial investment. This gamble centers around the game’s story, which is already a point of contention among fans, especially considering Bungie’s past work, what players expect from this type of game, and the issues with Destiny.

While some Avengers are simply powerful without much else, others are truly exceptional – strong, interesting, and genuinely cool. These seven stand out as the most impressive members of the team, offering more than just raw power in every battle.

This involves a $204 million loss in value reported late last year, indicating the developer is now worth significantly less than the $3.6 billion paid for it in 2022.

Despite being a well-known horror movie series, Paranormal Activity hasn’t had many video game adaptations. That’s why fans were excited about Paranormal Activity: Threshold, developed by DarkStone Digital and DreamXP, which was scheduled to come out in 2026. Although first announced in 2024 and previewed with a story trailer in late 2025, the game has now been canceled. Brian Clarke, the developer behind the popular game The Mortuary Assistant, revealed the news on social media on May 7th. It has already been removed from Steam, where players could previously add it to their wishlists.

The game includes a feature called “extraction” that lets players get back materials they used to improve their equipment. This likely means you can either undo upgrades on your weapons and armor, or completely break them down to reclaim those materials. It’s a useful option for gear you’ve outgrown, especially items from the early part of the game.

I’m so excited! Electric Square just announced they helped Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog with the new Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis game. It’s a complete reimagining of the original Tomb Raider from 1996, and honestly, it looks incredible. The best part? It’s coming in 2026! I can’t wait to see what they’ve done with it.

To mark the 30th anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh!, a special art exhibition called “Kazuki Takahashi Original Art Exhibition: YU-GI-OH! ART WORKS” will be held in Japan this winter. The exhibit will celebrate the life and work of the series creator, Kazuki Takahashi, and give fans a chance to see his original artwork. In other exciting news, over 44 million copies of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga have been published, making 2026 a huge year for the franchise. You can get a sneak peek at the exhibition below.

The 1980s produced a wealth of fantastic science fiction films, many of which are surprisingly overlooked. However, several classics from that decade still hold up beautifully today. In fact, some of the best sci-fi movies from the ’80s are just as enjoyable—and even more impressive—now as they were over forty years ago, solidifying their status as true cinematic gems.

The team, led by Garrett Fredley, a Senior Build Engineer focused on IP Preservation, primarily works to preserve PlayStation’s classic games and all related content.

Tao explained that while Bungie’s games didn’t perform as well as anticipated financially, leading to a revised business plan and a write-down of assets (excluding goodwill), the reception to their new game, Marathon, has been very positive. It currently has a Metacritic score of 82 and over 90% of Steam player reviews are positive, with strong player engagement and retention rates.
