• Call Of Duty’s Richtofen Actor Wants Him To Come Back, Says 2027’s CoD Could Be From Sledgehammer

  06-10-2026 17:57 via gamespot.com
  
  Veteran video game actor Nolan North has addressed his future in the Call of Duty series, saying he hopes to reprise his character Dr. Edward Richtofen from Black Ops' popular Zombies mode.
  If this does happen, it probably won't be soon. That's because, North said he believes 2027's Call of Duty game might be developed by Sledgehammer. Given that, a new Black Ops game might not come until 2028 at the soonest, but this is just conjecture.
  Speaking at Gamergy in Puerto Rico (via DomTheBomb), North

• Tim Burton Horror Lives In Weird Steam Adventure That Reminds Me Of The Creepiest 2010s Games

  12-10-2026 21:15 via gamespot.com
  
  My 2012 belonged to Slender Man. I was easily terrified by creepy, early 2010s computer games like Slender: The Eight Pages, but I couldn't resist their special blend of unicorn blood and twee. Recently, I've been missing the pink bittersweetness of the Tim Burton-style horror games made in those years, like Fran Bow and Alice: Madness Returns, so the inaugural Cozy After Dark Showcase has arrived with a new trailer for Hell Is Other People at just the right time. The teaser from indie deve

  12-10-2026 21:15 via gamespot.com
  
  Haunted Chocolatier looks like it could be the perfect, candy-bar blend of sweet and creepy once it launches--but developer ConcernedApe doesn't know when that might be. So I'd like to consider an alternate option for after-funeral desserts and try the upcoming Steam game Tearoom of Terror, whose developer, Sundew Studios, was just featured during the new Cozy After Dark Showcase.Sundew studios writer and designer Allie Ast shows off the "cozy gothic murder mystery" Tearoom of Terror in all its

  12-10-2026 21:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Marvel’s most offbeat trilogy comes to a conclusion in VisionQuest. The follow-up to 2021 MCU TV pioneer WandaVision and 2024’s occult follow-up Agatha All Along, VisionQuest puts Paul Bettany’s sentient synthezoid in the spotlight for a story of fathers, sons, unlikely love, and the very origins of artificial general intelligence in the MCU.Like its predecessors, VisionQuest is a mystery box series with a decidedly off-kilter sensibility. Several years after overriding his pro

  A few months removed from its launch into early access, the lead developer of witchy action game 1666: Amsterdam says the team creates dozens of builds every day.1666: Amsterdam released into Steam Early Access back in August after what can generously be called a troubled development.

  One of Rockstar's narrative leads says that GTA 6's Vice City setting is the ideal place to check in on a popular recurring theme within Grand Theft Auto: T he American Dream.Rockstar has made its approach to real-world influences quite clear of late. The team behind GTA 6 will comment on wider trends that won't go out of date when the game ships, which is also why more specific events or people prove riskier.One topic that Rockstar's senior vice president of narrative name-checked, though, is t

• Where to find Insulation Roll in Arc Raiders

  12-10-2026 19:14 via gamesradar.com
  
  Insulation Roll in Arc Raiders is a new crafting resource material added as part of the Frozen Trail update, and while it has no use on its own terms, it's used for high level crafting recipes and materials. However, as an Epic-level item with no clear location to search in its description, finding Insulation Roll isn't easy to do. Fortunately having located it myself, I'll lay out where to look in Arc Raiders to find it.Arc Raiders Insulation Roll locations(Image credit: Embark)I found an Insul

The SNL sketch from earlier in the month saw two people dressed as Link and GTA 6's Jason, respectively, each trying to one-up the other by bragging about what their games ha

• I was wary of D&D Star Wars, but it looking so much like Rogue One gives me hope

  12-10-2026 18:20 via gamesradar.com
  
  To be completely honest with you, I was wary when D&D Star Wars got announced. Dungeons & Dragons isn't a natural fit for many reasons (its class and magic systems need gutting to work with a galaxy far, far away), and I was worried its existence meant a beloved RPG is dead. But then we got our first glimpse of the project, and it's giving big Andor energy. That took me by surprise, and it's enough to make me a believer. OK, not to the degree Han was in Force Awakens ("It's true, all of

  The new Street Fighter movie hits theaters in just a few days, and if you're a fan of the Capcom series, you might be tempted to celebrate with some new poster art on your wall. While the official poster for that movie is fine, Mondo's new Street Fighter 2 poster is much better, striking, and it doesn't feature a gallery of floating heads--just one, in fact, being punched off the beefy shoulders of a Shadaloo enforcer. If you're wondering what that piece of fine art looks like, GameSpot can

• Former PlayStation boss apparently had a bold strategy for handling Sony execs – he ignored them

• I Ranked Video Game Houses By How Much I’d Actually Want To Live In Them

  I've spent years judging games on things like combat, story, graphics, or how satisfying their open worlds are. But something occurred to me recently--I've not put enough thought into where exactly I would live if I had to move into one of these games.Sure, legendary weapons are nice, and okay, fine, maybe I should be concerned about the fate of the world. If there's an ancient evil force trying to destroy civilization, I guess I could take a look at it. But I'm an adult, and so I have adult con
