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

  17-09-2026 16:18 via gamesradar.com
  
  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

  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?

• "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

  17-09-2026 15:30 via gamesradar.com
  
  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

• Chadley Is Back For Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, Whether You Like It Or Not

  17-09-2026 14:34 via gamespot.com
  
  If there's one thing that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players can agree on, it's that the game has far too much Chadley in it. While he was a valuable source of Summons in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, in Rebirth, he's an omnipresent voice tied to almost every open-world activity thanks to the "CHAD Module" you're burdened with early in the game. Will the Chad be back in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation? Unfortunately, yes. Will he have an expanded role in the game's story this time? It sure sounds like it, as

• 13 years in and on its third console generation, how does GTA 5 hold up for a return visit?

  17-09-2026 13:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  The first decade of Grand Theft Auto's 3D reinvention, from 2001 to 2011, brought four full-length releases (not counting handheld instalments or DLC expansions) across two console generations: games that reshaped the videogame landscape in their open-world image. In 2023, as GTA 5 enters its tenth year, it remains the series' only release of the period. A single game following in those footsteps couldn't, surely, hope to have the same seismic effect. And yet.
