• 32 Marvel's Wolverine Easter Eggs and comic book references that you may have missed

  15-09-2026 11:02 via gamesradar.com
  
  There was one thing that we knew for certain going into Insomniac Games' latest title: we'd have a bunch of Marvel's Wolverine Easter Eggs to dig our adamantium claws into. After all, this is Marvel we are talking about, folks, and with that level of history and pop cultural influence, there was no way that we wouldn't get a bunch of references and cheeky little comic book nods. However, I will say that even as a Marvel veteran, and having played through the entire game (read our Marvel Wolverin

• Fable lead promises "we stick the landing" with the RPG's ending, which hopefully means we won't have a repeat of Fable 2's woes

  15-09-2026 16:48 via gamesradar.com
  
  The developers of Fable are confident that they have stuck the landing when it comes to the ending of the upcoming RPG.The Fable series is home to some fairly beloved games when people get past the perhaps overhyped pre-release comments about everything you can do in them, with Fable 2 generally being the favorite of many. However, Fable 2 simultaneously has one of the worst endings ever put to a game. Spoiler alert: the final boss confrontation against Lucien, who you have been chasing the enti

• Everything in the Helldivers 2 Ironclad Democracy Warbond

  15-09-2026 16:45 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Helldivers 2 Ironclad Democracy Warbond looks to be a spiritual sequel to Democratic Detonation, with even more explosive and incendiary power (and if you saw the trailer go live early, no you didn't). If you choose to spend your hard-earned Super Credits on this Warbond, you'll be able to unlock five weapons for your loadout, including a pump-action grenade launcher and an assault rifle with an underslung shotgun – lots of Helldivers 2 firsts. It all sounds pretty fun, so here's a bre

• Kingdom Hearts’ Kairi Has Suffered Enough, Will Now Headshot You In Fortnite

  15-09-2026 16:35 via gamespot.com
  
  For the longest time in the Kingdom Hearts series, Kairi has gotten the short end of the stick, but the franchise's upcoming crossover with Fortnite will finally let Kairi fans choose violence.A new trailer for Fortnite's ongoing Chapter 7 Season 4 shows the trio of Sora, Riku, and Kairi in action.

• Diablo 5 doesn't have towns or safe zones because you're the safe zone now, buddy: "You and your band of followers are the last remains"

  15-09-2026 16:34 via gamesradar.com
  
  As you're no doubt aware, Diablo 5 is officially on the way, though we won't be seeing it properly for a while. Nonetheless, Blizzard's been teasing what's going on in this installment, and, well, things aren't great. Sanctuary has fallen, and in your adventures, the only real safety you'll find is within your own group.During a panel on creating this new installment, several lead developers comment on what Diablo 5 will look and feel like. A sticking point is how rare any kind of genuine securi

• Wardogs feels like Call of Duty without the pressure to kill or be killed – as long as you're making phat stacks

  15-09-2026 16:30 via gamesradar.com
  
  Wardogs isn't quite like anything else that I've ever played. It is, at first glance, nothing more than your standard multiplayer FPS. It has the same guns that you've seen in Call of Duty or Battlefield. It has many of the same vehicles, even. Then you play it a little bit, and then a bit more, until the differences become entirely obvious. Above and beyond winning matches or killing foes, your aim in Wardogs is to earn cold, hard cash. You're a mercenary, explicitly so, drafted into one of thr

• Elder Scrolls lore master and 20-year Bethesda veteran Kurt Kuhlmann can't find a job after being laid off months ago, and doesn't that sum up today's industry

  15-09-2026 16:16 via gamesradar.com
  
  It's no secret that the video game industry isn't exactly being kind, even to the best of folks – including Kurt Kuhlmann, Bethesda Game Studios veteran and legendary Elder Scrolls "lore master" who worked on gems like the original Oblivion and Skyrim.Although Kuhlmann hasn't been at Bethesda for quite some time now, having reportedly left over Bethesda's "bureaucratic" baggage, in his own words, and broken promises from Todd Howard about leading The Elder Scrolls 6.

• Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s Director Kept Coming Back To The Witcher 3 For Inspiration

  15-09-2026 16:14 via gamespot.com
  
  Between the release of Final Fantasy 7 in 1997 and the first chapter in the Remake trilogy in 2020, quite a few games have been released and have gone on to inspire developers. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation game director Naoki Hamaguchi is one such developer, as he explained that games like The Witcher 3 and Horizon helped inspire him and his team to deliver cinematic storytelling native to interactive media, as well as player agency through customizability and scalable world explora

• Tom Cruise know he's "intense" to work with: "Trust me, the rumors are true"

  15-09-2026 16:02 via gamesradar.com
  
  Everyone knows two things about Tom Cruise: first, he does all his own stunts, and second, he loves films. Like, he really loves films. His passion shows in every project he puts his name on, which, for some, has quite literally saved cinema. But for a star that has spent so much time on the big screen, what does he think about the smaller one? Has the man behind Maverick and Ethan Hunt ever sat down to watch Traitors? If he has, he’s not sharing it, even in a new GQ interview.In anticipat

• Resident Evil director Zach Cregger weighs in on PlayStation ending physical games: "I'm not a physical media guy"

  15-09-2026 15:25 via gamesradar.com
  
  Just when Zach Cregger couldn’t stir the pot any more before the release of his new film, Resident Evil, he chimed in on the long-standing debate over diverting to digital or sticking to physical media since PlayStation's big announcement that sent the gaming industry into an uproar. Surprisingly, the director of Weapons and the upcoming video game adaptation isn’t too fussed about keeping hold of discs in all their various forms, and it isn’t down to a matter of ease, but more

• Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale rolls out rare amiibo discounts that I need collectors to grab ASAP

  This is probably the biggest spread of amiibo discounts I've ever witnessed. Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale is now live and is Ninty's own way of handing back the tariff refunds to its customer base. While it's disappointing that the refunds haven't gone straight into players' pockets, the sale has brought with it 30% off some of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories out there, which I can still appreciate as a collector.Some of these figures have been far cheaper in the past, like the L

• The MCU's post-Doomsday X-Men should take notes from Marvel's Wolverine, just like Brand New Day did with Spider-Man

  15-09-2026 15:06 via gamesradar.com
  
  PlayStation exclusive games like Marvel's Wolverine and Marvel's Spider-Man aren't Sony's only connection to superhero media. Sony Pictures also produces the Tom Holland-starring Spider-Man movies (and, of course, the likes of Madame Webb). That's created some creative opportunities, as Tom Holland himself has admitted that some of Brand New Day's terrific stunts and fight scenes were inspired by the trilogy of games. Considering the Spider-Man flicks are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, M

• You Could Get The Blood Of Dawnwalker For Less Than The Price Of A Coffee With This Mystery Crate

  15-09-2026 14:59 via gamespot.com
  
  I love The Blood of Dawnwalker. As someone who usually finds themselves sticking to the storyline and just driving through the main plot, I’ve found myself losing track of time (ironically) in the blood-drinking shoes of Coen. Vampires are awesome, and The Blood of Dawnwalker delivers these creatures of the night in a tantalizing RPG that, if anything, has changed my perspective on the genre. So, when an opportunity to get it for less than a cup of coffee comes along, you can bet your stak

  Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is aiming to end the remake trilogy with a bang, and alongside the main campaign, there'll be plenty of other activities to tackle when you're not racing to stop Sephiroth from destroying the planet. Snowboarding is one such distraction, as the iconic minigame from the original Final Fantasy 7 is back, and Square Enix is suggesting that something wild could take place in it.An activity that can be accessed at the Golden Saucer, game director Naoki Hamaguchi hasn't

• Diablo 5 Doubles Down On The Darkness, But Hope Still Has A Place In Sanctuary

  15-09-2026 14:32 via gamespot.com
  
  Diablo's world of Sanctuary isn't a top tourist destination, thanks to roaming monsters and demonic forces looking to corrupt humanity, and in Diablo 5, everything has gone to hell--quite literally! Unlike the previous games in the series, which revolved around saving Sanctuary from Diablo and his Prime Evil Kin, Diablo 5 kicks off long after the Lord of Terror has conquered the land. In a world this bleak, how will players find the motivation to keep going when evil has already triumphed?Speaki

• Nintendo drops pre-orders on its brand new Switch 2 bundle, and with Zelda out of the question it's the best way to buy right now

  Nintendo announced two new post-price hike Switch 2 bundles last month, and while the Mario Kart version is still but a promise (even though it's technically supposed to hit shelves earlier), the Sports Resort package is now available for pre-order. The $529.99 (Nintendo) bundle sits about $30 higher than we've typically seen from Ninty's package deals. Before September 1's price hike you'd be paying $499 for a game and handheld in one box.

• Metal Gear Solid 5 modders are bringing the open-world stealth game more in line with the PS1 classic in a crucial way

  15-09-2026 14:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  A new Metal Gear Solid 5 mod has been released which aims to bring back the feeling of the series' classic games by allowing you to go in with nothing. Metal Gear Solid changed pretty drastically with its final entries. Metal Gear Solid 4 sowed the seeds with the Drebin shop, but Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and 5 took the series in a different direction. The original MSX2 games and Solid trilogy had you infiltrating enemy bases with only the clothes on your back (or very little supplies) and e

• Amid relentless layoffs at Xbox, Fable lead says "so many people" at the company see the RPG as "vital to the DNA of the platform," which "protected us over a long development cycle"

  Fable has been a long time coming, with its development spanning several waves of layoffs at publisher Xbox, as well as the cancellation of high-profile projects. But the RPG's director suggests that the RPG has been unscathed because it's viewed as "vital to the DNA of the platform."A new interview with The Guardian really puts into perspective how long Fable has been in the works, with production apparently starting as far back as 2016. We wouldn't see Playground Games' reveal trailer until 20

Thanks to Animation Obsessive, a side-by-side comparison has been released showing the Disney movies originally shown on 35mm and later released on home video, along with the digital versions available for streaming. The difference is night and day, highlighting how much classic Disney magic these transfers have lost and the color levels

• How to beat the Marvel's Wolverine Omega Red boss fight

  15-09-2026 13:16 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Wolverine Omega Red fight is a tricky battle after facing relatively weak Trask soldiers and Reavers, but once you understand how it works, it should become much easier. Unlike the regular enemies you've been fighting in Marvel's Wolverine until this point, Omega Red can't be bombarded with erratic attacks, and you need to take a much more reactive approach to combat, with parrying and dodging being critical to success. But there's more to bear in mind, so I've laid out some tips for beating

  One of the most satisfying things about the Diablo games is their loot grind, and in Diablo 5, Blizzard has plans to keep you clicking enemies to death for a long time in pursuit of an elusive piece of armor or weapon. While it's still early days in terms of how itemization will be handled in the game, Blizzard has confirmed that gear-based sets will return. Set items were originally absent from Diablo 4 when the game launched in 2023, although set bonuses were later added through the Talisman s
