• Mini War codes (September 2026) for Gems and more

  I guarantee you'll want to redeem these Mini War codes since they award players with Gems, a valuable currency you can only spend at the in-game Black Market on exclusive units and buildings.You can't always access the Black Market in this Roblox city-builder and management sim, in fact it only appears for 20 minutes every hour, so you need to ensure you have enough Gems saved up to spend when it does open. So, redeem these Mini War codes while you have the chance, and keep an eye out for the sp

• Mike Flanagan says his remake of The Mist "isn't a retread":"The differences start page 1"

  17-09-2026 17:34 via gamesradar.com
  
  We don't want to presume, but Mike Flanagan has had such a horrifyingly massive to-do list lately that we're wondering if he's resorted to supernatural methods to get through it all. With his Carrie series on Prime Video just around the corner and the filmmaker currently in production on new Exorcist movie, he's also mapping out his version of The Mist, which was previously brought to life by Frank Darabont in 2007. What's perhaps even more impressive is that he promises it won't be anything lik

• First plot tease for Hideo Kojima's Physint sure does remind me of Metal Gear Solid 3: "The next Cold War begins"

  17-09-2026 17:02 via gamesradar.com
  
  The latest Physint poster may have given us our first bit of plot details about Hideo Kojima's upcoming Metal Gear spiritual successor. While Bill Skarsgard's casting was the main draw of Kojima's Physint update at the latest Xbox Tokyo Game Show, there's more than initially meets the eye. We also got some artwork consisting of a photo Kojima took of the duo, with a tagline that reads: "The next Cold War begins."Based on that tagline, we can assume that Physint is about espionage in a time when

• After 13 years, Razer is reviving its Tartarus gaming keypad with a V2 Pro model, and it could end up as any keyboard hater's favorite peripheral

  17-09-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Razer is reviving its Tartarus product range with the new Razer Tartarus V2 Pro, a gaming keypad designed to bridge the gap between controller and mouse-and-keyboard play. The original Tartarus launched all the way back in 2013 and hasn't had any sequel or seen much support since then. But with renewed competition in the gaming keypad space from Azeron, it's no surprise Razer wants to re-enter the best PC controller alternative race. Much like the Azeron Keyzen and Azeron Cyborg II, the Razer Ta

• Lanterns mid-season trailer teases the return of Sinestro and the truth behind Hal Jordan's death

  17-09-2026 16:58 via gamesradar.com
  
  A new mid-season trailer for Lanterns has arrived online, hyping up the final three episodes of the critically acclaimed series that we’re pretty positive isn’t going to end on a bright note. For one, the closer we get to the end, the closer we are to Hal Jordan's demise, which is a real pity given how exceptional a job Kyle Chandler has done with the character. Following the events of episode 5 – “Lights Out” – the show jumps forward ten years, when John Stew

• How to earn Driver XP in Wardogs

  17-09-2026 16:25 via gamesradar.com
  
  Racking up Wardogs Driver XP isn't easy, but your best options are to try and ferry around your teammates and supplies for FOBs. The short of it is that, yes, increasing your Driver level is very slow due to the limited sources of Driver XP and how little of it you get. It's not just you that's struggling and it means tanks and other heavy vehicles are out of reach for most players. Hopefully some rebalancing comes to make the vehicle grind less tedious but, in the meantime, here's how you can e

  October is going to be a tough month for anyone on a budget, as a ton of big games are coming up. Sandwiched between an already-packed September and the November release of GTA 6, how does any game stand out from the pack? In the case of Valor Mortis, a launch price of $40--and day-one availability via Xbox Game Pass--might be a winning combination to help it shift units."We've had many discussions over the past year about the price of Valor Mortis," developer One More Level and publisher Lyrica

• Nine months into a rough year for handheld gaming PCs, I'm reluctantly thankful for the open-box ROG Xbox Ally bones being thrown

  17-09-2026 16:21 via gamesradar.com
  
  The handheld PC scene was off to a refreshing start back in 2022, with the Steam Deck kickstarting a trend of very affordable portables that pack a punch. That was before the AI industry decided to convince component makers, fab labs, and any other entity holding the cards that consumer tech isn't a priority, and as a result, the days of getting a decent device for under $500 are long gone.At least, they are, if you are gunning for most of the best gaming handhelds out there.

  You know what they say: easy come, easy go. Diablo 4 added Solo Self-Found over the summer, much to the excitement of the action-RPG's ardent community, only for the mode to be temporarily removed in Season 15. Blizzard's confirmed it's coming back, just not exactly when just yet."We know many of you are waiting for Solo Self-Found to return," reads a statement on the official Diablo social media channels.

• World of Warcraft: Forever dev tells fans concerned by datamines and screenshots to "reserve judgment" until they play Blizzard's new MMO

  Although World of Warcraft: Forever impressed many Classic+ hopefuls last weekend during BlizzCon 2026, some fans left Blizzard's big reveal wondering why the new MMO looked so much like its retail counterpart.That is, anyway, in terms of its art style and models. Conversations soared on the likes of Reddit as folks pondered why World of Warcraft: Forever feels "too retail" and more like a "retail minus" than a "Classic plus."It's an amusing but reasonable concern, I suppose, as the community is

  A GTA 6 PC port is all but a matter of time, new comments from Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar owner Take-Two, suggest.At a short investors' meeting convened earlier today, September 17, Zelnick fielded a question about Take-Two's release strategy for GTA 6. Seemingly in reference to price and production issues, one stockholder asked: "Is the shortage of PS5 Pros causing changes in delivery of PC gaming?"

  Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most-anticipated game releases ever, and despite the enormous hype, Rockstar and owner Take-Two are going to market the game aggressively. Why does the game even need a marketing push? According to Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick, just because a franchise is popular and well known, that doesn't mean the company behind it can take their foot off the pedal in terms of spending time and money on marketing.Zelnick said 2023's The Barbie Movie is a good examp

• "Alyx was a far, far more useful target for us" - Valve's struggle to get existing titles working on Steam Frame's ARM processor is why it's bundled with a six-year-old game, and I bet this isn't the last we'll hear of these chips causing difficulties

  If you're like me, you were silently hoping for a new homemade VR game from Valve to launch alongside the new Steam Frame. Unfortunately, that was wishful thinking, but bundled with the new headset is the company's hit from 2020, Half-Life: Alyx. That's hardly a bad thing, since the game has been long-touted as one of the best VR games ever made, but when the best VR headsets don't launch often, it'd be easy to hope for a successor."We decided to focus on just making sure the Steam catalogue as
