• Dune: Awakening’s Massive New Update Is Perfect For Parents Or Single-Player Fans, And It’s At Its Lowest Price, Too

  20-09-2026 19:00 via gamespot.com
  
  I have over 50 hours in Dune: Awakening. The soft-MMO, mostly survival-centric game became one of my favorite games of last year. However, as a parent—and generally busy guy—playing Dune: Awakening has become less fun and more chore-inducing. The eventual endgame of fighting other players also took away some of what made Funcom’s take on Arrakis so interesting. Over a year later, with plenty of updates under its belt and the massive new 1.5 update, Dune: Awakening isn’t j

• Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki was always "fascinated" by the "weird" executives of other companies: "I use some of them as enemy characters in our games"

  20-09-2026 19:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  From Demon's Souls and Dark Souls to Sekiro and Elden Ring, Hidetaka Miyazaki redefined developer FromSoftware so thoroughly that he became the company's president. Yet for a guy who came up actually making games, the world of gaming executives is a weird one – and something that's apparently brought the director some inspiration for the notorious enemies in his RPGs.Miyazaki was promoted to FromSoftware president in 2014, shortly before the launch of Bloodborne. "I've been to places I wou

• Orbitals Is An Antidote For Hazelight’s Miserable Characters

  20-09-2026 17:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Something core to Orbitals stuck out to me as I played the Switch 2 exclusive. Compared to the similar co-op games from Hazelight Studios, the major difference in Shapefarm’s two-player 3D platformer was that the two main characters, Maki and Omura, actually seemed to enjoy each other’s company.While that might seem like an inconsequential detail, it was actually a breath of fresh air after sitting through Hazelight's co-op hits A Way Out, It Takes Two, and Split Fiction, which all c

• 1 hour in, Genshin Impact devs' cozy life sim feels like cosmic Animal Crossing – but that might not be a bad thing

  20-09-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  The cozy life sim genre is becoming an increasingly crowded one. As the likes of Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Story of Seasons can attest, it's a formula that just works. However, with more competition, it's getting harder and harder for cozy games to do something different.After one hour with Petit Planet, HoYoverse's galactic spin on the genre, I'm hopeful the Genshin Impact devs might have something up their sleeve here to set it apart from its clear inspiration – even if many f

• Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is still basically the DNA of all Ubisoft open-world games

  20-09-2026 15:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Ubisoft makes a lot more than just Assassin's Creed, but where would it be without Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, and the rest? More pertinently, what would its games look like? In the eight years since a hooded avatar first leapt from steeple to haystack, Assassin's Creed has not just become the most important line on Ubisoft's balance sheet, but also a driving influence on almost every design document that spools from its printers. Whatever the setting or central mechanic, if the company is making

• Hideo Kojima didn't think Physint would be at risk of cancelation because "this is the biggest selling title I could possibly create"

  20-09-2026 14:26 via gamesradar.com
  
  PlayStation's cancelation of Physint - before Xbox swooped in as publisher - came as a huge shock to famed director Hideo Kojima because, to him, a return to the action-espionage genre he helped pioneer is "the biggest selling title I could possibly create."Earlier this month, Sony announced it had parted ways with Kojima Productions' Physint, a seemingly huge game it had excitedly revealed years prior. Minutes later, Xbox picked up an easy win and announced that it would be publishing the proje

• Final Fantasy 7 Revelation lead says the series' cursed Moogles are back, and this time they're training to form a pop idol group

  20-09-2026 12:59 via gamesradar.com
  
  Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has my least favorite Moogle designs in the entire series - their odd, humanoid proportions turn them from adorably fluffy friends to weird creatures I don't want around my pets. And they're back in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, this time in pursuit of pop music stardom, apparently. That's according to Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi, who told Anime News Network that one of Rebirth's most hated mini-games came from the Moogle family. Cloud would enter th

• Persona 4 Revival adds a fan-favorite character from the anime as a social link, hinting we might get new Personas in the remake

  20-09-2026 12:32 via gamesradar.com
  
  Persona 4 Revival has been billed as a largely faithful remake of the classic paranatural game, but the developers at Atlus are making some large changes. Most recently, the studio announced it's retroactively adding a fan-favorite character from 2011's Persona 4: The Animation into the main game's cannon. And that fan-favorite character is Aika Nakamura, one of the player character's classmates and the daughter of the Aiya restaurant's owners - the one with Mighty Beef bowls that almost make yo
