Krafton gives its studios a lot of creative freedom, including letting them choose their own tools. For their game, Project Windless, they’ve been experimenting with AI during the early stages of development, but it hasn’t been used in any features players will directly interact with.

One of the earliest examples of a survival game is The Oregon Trail. Though many remember the popular graphic version from 1985 and later, it actually started as a simple text-based project in 1971. Players had to buy supplies, hunt for food, manage their inventory, and deal with challenges like bad weather and unfortunate accidents. The game ended when you either reached Oregon or succumbed to the hardships along the way. This combination of elements made it the first true survival game and, over the years, it has educated countless students.

Square Enix (formerly known as Squaresoft) encountered a similar issue with their PlayStation 1 game, Racing Lagoon. It wasn’t a typical racing game; it combined fast-paced street racing with in-depth RPG character development and a story told like a Japanese role-playing game. Despite being made by a well-respected developer and offering a unique design, Racing Lagoon was never released outside of Japan. This meant that a truly original racing RPG remained largely unknown to players in the West, even those who actively search for rare PlayStation games. If Square Enix had chosen to release it more widely, Racing Lagoon could have become a major racing franchise.

A powerful group called the Baroque Works will be central to the upcoming story, acting as the main enemies for the Straw Hat pirates as they journey through the Grand Line. The latest trailer showcased most of the organization’s key members and suggested their importance to the new season. However, fans were surprised not to see Mr. 0, also known as Crocodile – the leader of Baroque Works. Since his actor has already been announced, viewers were hoping for a glimpse of him, and his absence has led to worries that he might not be featured this season.

As a big action movie fan, I was surprised to see that Gerard Butler’s Copshop is currently third on Netflix’s most-watched list! It’s great timing because the director of Copshop, Joe Carnahan, just released a new Netflix original thriller called The Rip this January. Copshop was actually his last big project before taking a four-year break from directing, so it’s cool to see him back with another action flick.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the original Rayman game, Ubisoft launched Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition on February 13, 2026. This isn’t just a simple re-release; it’s a significantly expanded version. The anniversary edition includes five different versions of the original Rayman – playable on PlayStation, Atari Jaguar, MS-DOS, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance – plus over 120 new levels and a documentary about the iconic, limbless character. These levels come from previous expansions like Rayman’s New Levels, Rayman 60 Levels, and Rayman By His Fans.

If games leave the PS Plus service, your subscription will no longer give you access to them. You’ll need to purchase them directly from the PlayStation Store to keep playing. This is different from the PS Plus Essential tier – with other tiers, you lose access when the subscription period ends, even if you previously downloaded the game to your PlayStation account.
