However, at the time, Bloys admitted that a

• Dredge Has Never Been Cheaper, So Grab This Lovecraftian Fishing Adventure At An All-Time Low

  15-09-2026 19:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Sometimes, I simply enjoy reeling people into playing a delightful indie, and Dredge… well, Dredge is one of those times. It’s a fishing game, yes, but it’s one that hides a Lovecraftian selection of horrors beneath the surface of what, at first, seems fairly tame. If you’re not quite ready for the sheer panic of the best horror games but still want something with spooky vibes, Dredge is what you’re looking for, and right now, it’s cheaper than ever.As someon

• D&D Arcana Unleashed casts a spell with magical subclasses, and it finally gives us a good Necromancer build

  15-09-2026 18:30 via gamesradar.com
  
  I appreciate that there's a lot more to D&D Arcana Unleashed than finally being able to play as a proper Necromancer, but come on. Yes, being able to summon a dinosaur (?!) is all good and well. But being able to boss around what may as well be a skeleton butler, presumably while cackling like a supervillain? That's too delicious.A pair of mysticism-infused books just hit shelves, and they boast some killer options for players who want to add a dose of magic to their game. The first, D&D

But both the show and the many (many) Lee Child novels have yet to fill in Neagley's mysterious backstory. Until now, that is.Dropping at the same time as the Reacher season 4 finale and set immediately after the events of the latest season, eight-episode spin-off series Neagley is all about the one-time member of Jack Reacher's Special Investigations Unit.

• As VR gamers celebrate the launch of Steam Frame, Meta's next headset leaks ahead of Connect 2026, but I don't think Valve should be worried

  15-09-2026 18:20 via gamesradar.com
  
  Meta Connect 2026 is fast approaching, and although it's been heavily speculated that we'll catch our first glimpse of the next Meta Quest headset at this year's conference, the first imagery of the brand's unannounced device appears to have leaked. As Valve and gamers celebrate the long-awaited launch of the Steam Frame, I'm not sure anyone needs to worry about Meta's Project Phoenix as competition, because it looks more like a pair of smart glasses than a VR headset designed for playing video

• I've already got the Nintendo's Ocarina of Time Remake bundled pin badge, and here's what to expect when it arrives

  When the Ocarina of Time Remake pre-orders dropped, fans had the option to grab a bundle on the Nintendo UK online store, which included an official pin.This wasn't a pre-order bonus but rather the chance for the retailer to bundle up an existing Ocarina of Time collectible for £61.98 (via Nintendo) in total, likely to shift some extra stock. If that was their plan, it most definitely worked as it has since sold out. Even the digital version is out of stock.There's still weeks to go the ga

• Valve finally backs down after age-restricting a Steam vampire RPG without any sex or nudity for having too much sex and nudity

  15-09-2026 18:04 via gamesradar.com
  
  Nighthawks is an upcoming Steam vampire RPG where you have to navigate a modern underworld after awakening as a newly minted member of the undead. You can't have a vampire story without at least a little seduction, but Nighthawks steers well clear of anything more risque than you'd see in a PG-13 movie. It's easy to understand, then, why the devs were so worried when they got slapped with an "adults only" rating from Valve just days before launch."We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawk

• Valheim 1.0 lets cheaters earn achievements by admitting their crimes and then cheating even harder: "Oden will surely know if you use it dishonourably"

  15-09-2026 18:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  Sometimes, developers like to have a little fun with cheaters. Valheim developer Iron Gate Studio has decided to throw people who use console commands a bone by still allowing them to log achievements – if they enter another, comically long cheat code, that is.Prior to an update on September 11, players using developer commands in-game relegated them from getting any of Valheim's achievements. A simple, but effective way of accepting this is how some fans choose to play, and making ramific

• Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave almost had 8 protagonists in a "bold" attempt to surpass Three Houses, and I'm so happy the devs talked themselves out of it

  15-09-2026 17:45 via gamesradar.com
  
  Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave director Toshiyuki Kusakihara has revealed that the developers of the RPG once considered having eight routes for the game. Fire Emblem post-Awakening has felt very keen to make things bigger every time. Fates took the Pokemon approach with two different games – you could buy separately, with a third arriving as DLC – then Three Houses took it a step further with the titular three houses (which actually had four routes with side story as DLC).

There have been lengthy gaps between seasons so far, but now one of its core cast members has hinted at when we can expect the cameras to start rolling. During an interview with ScreenRant, Olivia Cooke was asked whether she's started work on the final season, and if not, how long until she’s back in the Seven Kingdoms and getting up to her elbows

• Brutally Hard And Tense FPS Escape From Tarkov Is Cheaper Than Ever Right Now

  There’s never been a better time to be a fan of extraction shooters, with the subgenre of the best FPS games wrapping even the most experienced players in tense, challenging situations. Even with Marathon and Hunt: Showdown giving FPS players a tough time, Escape From Tarkov makes them look almost childishly easy. This is one of the toughest games I’ve ever played, which is why, at its lowest price, it’s the perfect time to give it a try.While Marathon remains a personal favori

• 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

  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

  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

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

  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

  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
