Rockstar has re-engineered GTA 6's weather system to be localized and persistent, per Game Informer's cover story. Tropical storms and hurricanes are confirmed for Leonida, with heavy clouds, strong winds, thunder, and lightning. One part of the map can be pouring rain while you're standing in sunshine, and you can spot storms moving in the distance. Once a storm passes, puddles and wet surfaces stick around, and rainbows can appear in the right lighting. A new wind system adds offshore breezes and buildings that block airflow, affecting hair, debris, water, and vegetation. Rockstar hasn't said how often the big storms hit or how they affect missions, ahead of GTA 6's November 19 launch. #gta6 #gaming #gameplay #rockstargames

Jagex has revealed a fourth RuneScape MMORPG, currently called RS4, with a teaser trailer at RuneFest 2026 in Birmingham. It's built in Unreal Engine, a first for a mainline RuneScape game, and tells a new story in the world of Gielinor. RS4 is a separate game that will sit alongside RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, not replace either of them. The last mainline RuneScape launched 13 years ago, and Jagex says it plans to share ideas and test systems with players earlier than usual this time. The announcement is short on specifics, with no release window, platforms, or final name confirmed yet. The fan reaction in the room was huge, and it capped a RuneFest that also revealed a MoistCr1TiKaL-backed animated series. #runescape #gaming #newgame

World of Warcraft Forever has brought back a special Make-A-Wish quest that honors a fan that had been battling brain cancer almost 20 years ago. #worldofwarcraft #gaming #rpg #newsdrop

World of Warcraft Forever has brought back a special make a wish quest that honors a fan that had been battling brain cancer. Greetings, Traveler! The World of Warcraft quest Kyle's gone missing was originally added to the MMORPG during the Burning Crusade era. It was made as part of a make a wish request from a player called Ezra Chatterton, who had been diagnosed with brain cancer in 2,007. Ezra visited Blizzard headquarters to fulfill his dream of making a character for the game. He designed and performed the voice lines for the Tauren NPC Ahab Wheatfoot, who players help in finding his lost dog Kyle. Will you help me find my dog? Wow forever typically only includes content from the MMOs original 2,004 release, aiming to make it a pretty faithful recreation of the game's original version. This means that content from Wow's many expansions won't be making an appearance in forever, especially since the plan is to cap the level at 60, but thanks to the requests of many players, Blizzard has made an important exception. Wow forever Principal Game Designer Johnny Cash confirmed that the Kyle's gone missing quest, complete with a have wheat hoof, has been added into wow Forever. Cash said that he had the honor and privilege of bringing Kyle's gone missing into wow forever and paid tribute to Chatterton, who was an enormous wow fan. Ezra sadly lost his battle with cancer in 2,008 at age 12, but fans still carry his Memory with them almost two decades later. For those who have yet to experience this wonderful quest, it can be picked up in Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore for horde players early on in the game.

Infinity Ward is rolling out a new form of anti-cheat that aims to put a stop to wallhacking in the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. The studio explains that a multiplayer server sends and receives information on every player location in a match. When players can’t visually see another behind a wall, the game client can still receive information on that player’s location. With the introduction of ‘server culling,’ this new tech uses ‘occlusion layers’ to oversee player positions and decide when two players should and shouldn’t be able to see each other. ‘The server determines when you have no legitimate way of knowing where an opponent is, and their location data is entirely withheld from your game client,’ the developers explained. ‘Cheat software can't reveal information it never receives.’ ‘Server Culling’ will cover every available match at MW4 launch, and aims to ‘disrupt the cheat marketplace.’ #callofduty #gaming #mw4 #fps

Sony Pictures has emerged as the frontrunner to land a live-action Battlefield movie, but the deal isn't final yet. Christopher McQuarrie, the Mission: Impossible director, is attached to write, direct, and produce the film. Michael B. Jordan is on board to produce and could star, though his acting role isn't confirmed. Warner Bros. Discovery, Amazon MGM Studios, Universal, and Netflix also bid in what's being called one of the year's biggest bidding wars. No plot, cast, or release date has been announced, and Sony declined to comment on the talks. The race is on against Paramount's Call of Duty movie, which already has a June 30, 2028 release date. #battlefield #gaming #movie #sony #michaelbjordan

Jagex CEO Jon Bellamy announced a RuneScape animated series on stage at RuneFest in Birmingham, made with creator Charlie "MoistCr1TiKaL" White. It will be produced by Lyrical Animation alongside White's own studio, Meatier Productions. White has played RuneScape for 22 years and called it one of his favorite IPs ever. The series will bring the fantasy world of Gielinor to the screen, as part of Jagex's push to take RuneScape beyond games. It's still in the early stages, so there's no release window, cast, platform, or story details yet. Jagex says more will be revealed in 2027, as RuneScape marks its 25th anniversary. #runescape #gaming #tvshow #moistcr1tikal

Call of Duty has released the DMZ Worldbuilder trailer for Modern Warfare 4, the biggest look yet at the returning extraction mode. It's set in Hajin, a region where Russia, North Korea, and South Korea meet, left uninhabitable after a nuclear meltdown. North Korean forces are moving back in to secure chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons hidden in underground military facilities, and players have to get there first. A new bounty system labels players who kill without provocation as Rogues, letting others buy intel to track them down. The map also features a living world with evolving weather, roaming factions, crafting, and a hideout. This is the first part of a week-long DMZ reveal, ahead of Modern Warfare 4's October 23 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. #callofduty #modernwarfare4 #gaming #cod

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot has grossed roughly $245 million worldwide, putting it within reach of the $250 million mark. It opened with $60 million domestically and $108 million worldwide, the biggest start the film franchise has ever had. That already beats the series' previous best domestic performer, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and it passed Masters of the Universe's entire theatrical run in just nine days. It's doing all of this on a reported $75 million budget, which makes the numbers look even stronger. Critics are on its side too, with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score that makes it the best-reviewed video game movie ever made. Different trackers report slightly different totals, so the exact figure may shift as final numbers come in. #residentevil #gaming #movie #horrormovie #capcom

Gears of War: E-Day is rebuilding movement from the ground up while keeping the heavy, cover-based gameplay that defines the Xbox series. Every animation and input mechanic is new, with sliding, jumping and climbing giving players more freedom and verticality without losing the classic Gears of War feel. The result is a more fluid modern Gears experience that still stays true to what made games like Gears 5 and the original trilogy so distinctive. #gaming #gameplay #gearsofwar #xbox

How much has the movement changed from Gears 5? All of the gears games from 1 to 5 were built around the same sort of mechanics, same sort of metrics, the recipe that gears has that makes it really unique about how it feels to be heavy, how important cover is. Because we built it brand new. Every animation is new, every single input mechanic is new. Even though we honored all of those things, it feels like a more fluid game. It feels like a new game. And then, of course, we've added slide and jump and climb, and it hasn't, like, taken away what makes gears feel great. It just expands your choice ever so slightly whenever you have a little bit of verticality, a little. A few more options. Um, so, yeah, it feels different for sure, but it also feels like you're playing a gears game.

Jimothy, the raccoon who went viral in Seattle, has officially made his way into Fortnite. The animal joins the game as part of the latest Fortnitemares update, giving players a chance to bring the internet-famous raccoon along for the ride. Jimothy is available as a free Sidekick, but players will need to complete a specific task to unlock him. The reward is tied to successfully extracting a Dumpster Dive Sprite. #gaming #news #cryptid #animal

Modders are putting entire games inside other games, with viral mashups including Minecraft running inside Elden Ring, Escape from Tarkov mechanics in Skyrim, and Call of Duty Zombies mixed with Mario Kart. AI coding tools like Claude Code and open-source projects such as Universal Modder could be making these ambitious game mods easier to build by helping with reverse engineering, decompilation and testing. But AI still can’t create these crossovers from a single prompt, and the trend is already sparking debate around modding, copyright and so-called 'AI slop'. #gaming #gameplay #pcgaming #mods #newsdrop

Modders are putting entire games inside other games. It all started when this absolutely wild Minecraft and Elden Ring mash up blew up after a modder posted it online. But since then we've been seeing loads of these bizarre game mash UPS. There's escape from Tarkov Mechanics inside Skyrim, Minecraft Movement inside GTA 5, and even call of Duty World at War zombies mixed with Mario Kart. But it looks like these modders have been using AI coding tools to build these mashups. Normally getting two completely different games talking to each other requires some serious technical work, but AI tools can help coding agents identify a game's engine, reverse engineer its code, find the right modding tools, and even test changes inside the game. There's now an open source tool called the Universal Modder specifically designed to let AI coding agents like Claude code help mod PC games, and it even has a workflow dedicated to these game mashups. But that doesn't mean you can just type put Minecraft inside Elden Ring into an AI and get a finished mod. Someone still needs to figure out how the games interact, what systems get transferred, and actually get everything working together. Regardless, it's already causing a bit of backlash when some people dismissing the trend as AI slop and experienced modders pushing back against the idea that years of modding knowledge can suddenly be completely automated. And there's another catch a lot of these viral mashups aren't even publicly playable They're mostly just random viral clips for engagement farming. But with the continued rise of AI, it looks like we'll be seeing more and more gaming slop plaguar timelines.

Rockstar have revealed that the map in GTA 6 is so massive that players won’t be experiencing it all through the main story. The news comes via Rockstar’s Senior Vice President of Narrative Rupert Humphries in an Game Informer. ‘Part of the job of the game’s story is to bring the player around the map in a way that feels authentic and interesting,’ he said. ‘We don’t have time to take you everywhere, but we want you to be able to explore and get a feel for most of the places, cultures, and vibes.’ According to Rockstar North Co-Studio Head Aaron Garbut, GTA 6’s map is the largest the company has ever created ‘by some degree.’ It seems fans will have plenty to uncover in-game outside of the main missions, easily extending past the suggested 80 hour runtime for the main story. The map is reportedly three-times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2’s, and roughly twice the size of GTA 5’s. Vice City alone is reportedly twice the size of Los Santos. #gta6 #gaming #gta #rockstar

GTA 6 has officially received an M for Mature rating from the ESRB, confirming that Rockstar's upcoming open-world game will feature nudity and other adult content. The rating has appeared on the game's store pages, offering a clearer idea of what players can expect. The ESRB lists blood and gore, intense violence, mature humour, strong language, sexual content, nudity, and drug and alcohol use among the reasons for the rating.

No. The hell are you doing? You seeing this? Well, look who's back.

The sequel to 2021 action-adventure game Kena: Bridge of Spirits has been delayed to 2027, Ember Labs confirmed. Published in a PlayStation blog, the studio said they need ‘just a bit more time’ to deliver a game ‘that exceeds the quality we achieved with our 2021 debut.’ Kena: Scars of Kosmora was first revealed in a Sony State of Play presentation back in February 2026, initially targeting a launch in the same year. In lieu of a new definitive release date, Ember Labs revealed more details on the world that an older Kena will navigate in the upcoming game. Players will experience the cultures of Kosmora, and a ‘crystalline canine companion’ that not only serves as Kena’s mount, but assists in combat and solving ‘Alchemystic puzzles.’ #playstation #gaming #newgame #ps5

IO Interactive has launched Extended Operations, a free DLC for 007 First Light, available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. New Game+ unlocks after finishing the campaign on any difficulty, letting players replay the story while keeping their outfits and gadgets, and swapping Bond's look through a Mission Wardrobe. It also brings a new 00 difficulty, which makes enemies far more perceptive, introduces two-hit kills, and stops players from using gadgets within a guard's line of sight. Photo Mode finally arrives too, along with the long-teased Valhalla Protocol, where Bond drives an armed Aston Martin Valhalla through the Slovakian mountains in four scored missions. A new Vietnam-set TacSim operation called Jungle Heist joins the roster, alongside new weapons, outfits, and improved weapon-handling animations. The update, version 1.3.0, also bundles more than 700 fixes covering crashes, progression blockers, audio, and UI issues. #gaming #gameplay #jamesbond #007 #jamesbond007

Proud to introduce you to our new free DLC, Extended Operations, which includes highly requested content and some new, exciting features. We have the Valhalla. It's the only thing with enough firepower. This DLC brings back the Aston Martin Valhalla in a race against the clock on the roads of Slovakia. Be fast and be precise with the help of some missiles and turrets to earn your spot in the global rankings, whether it's night or day in one of the four versions of the track. The new photo mode will let you unleash your creativity and capture exciting moments from the game. We poured a lot of love into this photo mode, packing in core camera tools, unique post filters, custom light setups, exclusive poses and much more. And since we've crossed the 7 million wishlist Mark, you might want to use it to photograph Jack, the new mascot of MI6. He's a good boy. Jungle Heist is the second new mission in this DLC. Investigate who's concealing the code to a secret safe, retrieve its contents, then fight your way up to the rooftop to make your escape from the villa. To help you tackle these challenges, we've also added two new weapons to the Intel shop, as well as three new outfits perfectly tailored by Q to match your spacecraft style. New Game Plus will let you use these new outfits and all the other outfits you have unlocked during the main campaign. We should really stop meeting Like this. Damien, Meet Bond. James Bond. New Game Plus also introduces the double 0 difficulty. This new difficulty is not for amateurs. It takes a seasoned double O agent to beat it. I've disarmed bombs less complicated than this. This free DLC is brought to you as a thank you to all the players who have been with us since the game's release. So start the game and go earn the number. I've got the death danger.

A developer known for games about blowing things up and fighting gladiators has found unexpected success with Dressmaker, a cosy sewing game that's taking Steam by storm. #gaming #news #fashion #viral

A cozy sewing game called dressmaker has become a viral steam hit. A developer who made games about blowing people up and fighting gladiators has now found huge success with a cozy dressmaking game. Dressmaker launched on steam on September 21st, and it's already become one of the platform's biggest surprise hits. The game is basically all about designing and sewing your own clothes, letting you choose fabrics, create patterns, and put together your own outfits. But one of the developers behind it had a very different gaming history. He previously worked on games like Grow Force, which is basically an explosive action game where you blast your way through everything, and gone, a ridiculously violent VR gladiator game. So naturally, his next big hit was sewing, and apparently even he can't quite believe how well it's doing. He even said that he used to be worried that he'd peak way too early in his career, but it turns out dressmaking was his next big hit. He added that he couldn't be more proud of dressmaker, and the numbers explain why the game climbed into Steam's top sellers, peaks at more than 35,000 concurrent players on September 27th, and has already received thousands of steam reviews. And it's even sitting at an overwhelmingly positive rating. So after making games about explosions and brutal gladiator fights, it turns out sewing dresses might be this dev's biggest flex yet.

Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 won’t have its own versions of Florida’s top attractions, like Disney World or Universal Studios in Orlando. The game looks to draw heavy inspiration from the state of Florida, returning to Vice City which has always been the series’ Miami-style location, and reimagining other iconic parts of the state like the Florida Keys. But the studio revealed in recent coverage by Game Informer that not everything can be recreated in-game. ‘We have to constantly evaluate the diversity of landscapes, towns, structures, landmarks, vistas, plant species, rock formations, and everything else before we work with design and narrative to distill a list down that best works with and serves the game’s needs,’ said Rockstar senior vice president of environment art, Paul MacPherson. ‘So, while we may not have those exact locations, everything we have is geared to getting that full Florida experience!’ While no GTA version of Mickey Mouse will be roaming around an in-game theme park, GTA 6 still seems poised to offer players a loaded environment full of activities outside of the main missions. #gta #gaming #disneyworld #rockstar
