With the new free upgrade and all its visual overhauls, this doesn't exactly come as a surprise, but it's still not acceptable by CD Projekt Red's high standards – so, yes, the devs are on the case.

When asked if she felt "bittersweet" about leaving Lucasfilm during Bloomberg’s annual Screentime event (H/T THR), Kennedy said no. "I suppose there's a bit of relief.

• The 8Bitdo FlipPad isn't my absolute favorite way to play Game Boy games, but it could win me over this time next week

  01-10-2026 11:50 via gamesradar.com
  
  Off the back of my full 8Bitdo FlipPad review, I've been weighing up whether a discount could help it thrive. It's already one of the best retro controllers for Game Boy games on your phone in my eyes, but with Prime Day sneaking up fast, it could end up at a no-brainer price, especially if you're not into buying a standalone handheld in 2026.There's room to argue that the 8Bitdo FlipPad is already pretty good value at $29.99, as it's $5 cheaper than its main rival, the GameSir Pocket Taco.

  Nicolas Cage had some strong words for the MCU and its stars in a recent fan convention appearance. It seems the legendary actor, who recently starred in comic book show Spider-Noir, is feeling some familiar superhero fatigue with Marvel's output.Speaking at Fan Expo Dallas (H/T The Independent), he was asked about the MCU. “It started out, in my view, terrific," Cage replied. "Some of the early stories were marvellous, the way that they wove all the threads together and told the different

  The meaning of Resident Evil Requiem's title appeared to be self-evident when it was released earlier this year. However, Resident Evil producer Jun Takeuchi's explanation for the title from the recently published Biohazard 30th Anniversary Special may be a head-scratcher for even the series' diehard fans."'Requiem' isn't just a title chosen for its meaning of 'requiem,'" said Takeuchivia GamesRadar.

• Warlock boss says don't expect a Baldur's Gate 3-style fluid story, main story beats are "written"

  Despite having little association with each other beyond sharing the D&D universe, Invoke's Warlock: Dungeons and Dragons is drawing plenty of comparisons to Larian's 2023 opus, Baldur's Gate 3. It's hard to blame anyone for anchoring the shiny new open-world D&D game to the 2023 GOTY considering just how much the latter dominated and continues to influence the conversation around RPG design, but mechanically and narratively, the fundamentals of the two games are very different.Talking t

  The Street Fighter movie is shaping up to be a love letter to Capcom's classic fighting game series, with its goofy action and costumes, but if there's one crucial element it's nailing, it's the franchise's sound. Specifically, Guile's iconic theme, which is legendary for its ability to complement anything in life. How does the movie version match up?
