Dead by Daylight is adding Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame. The 4v1 asymmetrical horror game has a gallery of villains and monsters that rivals the Funko Pop shelf of any horror-obsessed fan, but it's featured one glaring omission for years now. The Camp Crystal Lake slasher is finally coming on June 16, Behaviour Interactive has revealed in a new trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YebqRYaTVNg When Dead by Daylight was first coming onto the scene, Jason was already in the pr

Even though I pay attention to these things for a living, I almost didn't realize that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 was coming up so quickly. It's just two weeks away now, with Season 3 slated to launch on June 6, and we really don't know anything about it. And that's because there haven't been any leaks about it.  Not a single. Dang. One. No stray strings of text or banner icons in the files indicating a new collab, or sketchy-sounding Twitter rumors about gameplay changes, or anything. It's

The European Union parliament has taken up the debate about the Stop Killing Games movement and whether game publishers have the responsibility to keep their titles online after players have already purchased and played them for years. However, Slovakian politician Milan Uhrik decided to derail the conversation by focusing on his personal beef with the gaming industry rather than addressing the issue at hand. “Wokeness and aggressive monetization is destroying videogames,” said Uhrik when it

Owlcat Games—the studio behind upcoming RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn—has announced plans to recast the actor voicing its male protagonist, after players complained about a perceived lack of emotion in his voice during the game's beta test last month. "While the voice actor for the male protagonist and J put in a lot of good work, they felt less expressive than we wanted," Owlcat Games shared in a blog post on Osiris Reborn's Steam page. "Because of this, we are changing the voices of the ma

The future of Bungie is looking uncertain, as insider reports claim layoffs are on the way for the studio as it ends development on Destiny 2. There are reportedly no plans to move into development on Destiny 3, with Bungie looking to refocus on Marathon instead for the time being. Following the news that Bungie would deliver its final content update for Destiny 2 this June, a Bloomberg report suggests the studio is planning “significant” layoffs. Amid speculation that the studio would move i

Take-Two Interactive has reconfirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch November 19 in the company's fiscal 2026 results briefing. The commitment comes roughly a year since the open-world game was delayed to May 2026, which then led to another release-date shift this past November.  There were rumblings of another possible delay for Grand Theft Auto VI, especially with Rockstar's history. Additionally, it's now been over a year since the game has even gotten a new trailer. But Take-Two

Helldivers 2's next Legendary Warbond will bring the grim-dark future of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe to developer Arrowhead's co-op shooter, a match made in alien-destroying heaven. The announcement came as part of the latest Warhammer Skulls presentation, revealing what fans can expect in the months ahead from Warhammer video games like the upcoming Boltgun 2 and a new Warhammer fantasy title, Deathmaster. During the presentation, Helldivers 2 director Mikael Eriksson appeared

Nearly nine years after its release, live service support for Destiny 2 is coming to an end. Bungie has announced that it plans to release the last content update for the online shooter on June 9, 2026. In a blog post, Bungie explained that after the game's last big expansion, The Final Shape, it felt that it had reached time on the stories it wanted to tell with Destiny 2. Content for Destiny 2 had been trickling in at a slower pace after Bungie focused more on releasing its extraction shoot

Back when IO's James Bond adventure, 007 First Light, was first revealed, eagle-eyed watch enthusiasts immediately noticed the new Omega watch that this latest iteration of the MI6 spy was wearing. That watch wasn't real then but now, on the eve of the game's release, Omega has started selling the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light. And no, it's not cheap. This iteration of the existing Seamaster Diver Chronograph mirrors the contemporary version quite closely, but adds some pla

Stealth-action is probably not the first thing you think of when you hear "Warhammer," but sometimes the most satisfying experiences are the most surprising. Announced during Warhammer Skulls 2026, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster is a 2D action-platformer starring a very talented--and disturbed--hooded assassin. Starring the "ratman" Vihneek, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster will see you making use of stealth abilities and traps to move around your enemies or deliver death from the s

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a fantastic, action-packed take on the sci-fi series, delivering a throwback boomer-shooter experience that feels like it was ripped out of the '90s. If you're looking to spend even more of your time destroying enemies of the Emperor, you'll be happy to know that a mobile spin-off--Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom--will be hitting mobile devices this year. Announced during Warhammer Skulls 2026, Boltgun Boom is being developed by Nitro Games, and it's described as a

It appears that a big reveal of gameplay features and visuals tied to the new Virtua Fighter game is imminent. Overnight, part of what looks like an online presentation was leaked on Chinese video-sharing platform Bilibili, where it quickly spread like wildfire across Reddit and fighting-game discord channels. The footage, which features four characters showing off new and old fighting techniques, gives us a glimpse of the game's flashy visual presentation, which seems heavily inspired by rec

Developer IO Interactive announced the global launch times of 007 First Light, which tells the origin story of super spy and British cultural icon James Bond. The third-person action game launches on Wednesday, May 27, but anyone who pre-orders the title will have 24 hours of early access, along with a Deluxe Edition upgrade that includes four outfits inspired by the Bond films and skins for weapons and gadgets.

Following a nearly five-year hiatus between titles, Forza Horizon 6 debuted this week. And while fans are diving into its open-world take on Japan, some have already discovered a sound effect in Forza Horizon 6 that may trigger anyone who has ever had to work in an office setting. As noted by a player on social media, one of the car horn sounds in Forza Horizon 6 is the Microsoft Teams calling noise--a joke made possible by the fact that the Forza games are published by Microsoft. The sound e

Embracer Group will split itself into two separate companies--Fellowship Entertainment and Embracer--in 2027, with the former maintaining the majority of the publisher's biggest video game IP. While Fellowship Entertainment will have a large focus on franchises like Lord of the Rings and Tomb Raiders, there will apparently be room for some of the company's other titles to thrive as well. Embracer's chair of the board Lars Wingefors told investors that it will be seeking partners to work on so

In response to the Titanfall-style game making its first appearance on Steam, 1047 Games has officially announced Empulse, with a promise of an early-access release coming this year. https://twitter.com/1047Games/status/2057168407355936830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Empulse is a 6v6 title that lets players battle across the streets of a city called Freehold.

Since the introduction of the Xbox One in 2013, Microsoft has made small, subtle changes to its established Xbox Controller design. But a tweak on its most recent iteration suggests one feature might be permanently removed. With the latest Forza Horizon 6 Xbox Controller, Microsoft's proprietary expansion port has seemingly been removed. A Reddit user shared an image of the controller with the expansion port completely sealed, with the standard auxiliary port still resting to the left. This s

The latest financial disclosures for Ubisoft have been shared by the company, and it included a record €1.3 billion operating loss for its 2025-2026 fiscal year.

Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds has outlined all the ways its looking to improve on its wildly popular underwater-survival game in the near future, but don't expect to be able to fight or kill hostile alien creatures.

French studio Quantic Dream is shutting down its first live-service game, but it also gave proof of life to the elusive Star Wars Eclipse. Spellcasters Chronicles launched in February as the studio's effort to incorporate "community-driven" narrative elements into an ongoing multiplayer game. The free-to-play early-access title, which features MOBA and deckbuilding gameplay mechanics, is shutting down on June 19. Quantic Dream promised refunds for anyone who spent money on the game. Quanti
