Metroid Ravenous was announced as part of today's Nintendo Direct, Metroid Ravenous looks like a direct follow-up to Dread, and it's set to launch very soon: January 28.The first trailer teases plenty, but the key bit seems to be some sort of feeding mechanic. We see Samus repeatedly absorbing energy from her enemies like, well, a Metroid, and the idea of hunger would certainly explain the title.This story is developing.

• Exterminauts looks like No Man's Sky but plays like Helldivers 2, and I crushed it at Gamescom 2026

  I hate bugs. Big, small, somewhere in between – anything with more than four legs needs to stay as far away from me as possible. Which is why, sitting down at Gamescom 2026 to learn more about developer Behaviour Interactive's then-nameless new co-op shooter, I very nearly asked to leave.Heartbreakingly, Exterminauts is not Dead by Daylight with guns. It's a PvE shooter that riffs off the likes of Helldivers 2 with obvious aplomb, down to the hammy, tongue-in-cheek pseudo patriotism. Punch

• VisionQuest showrunner confirms when the upcoming TV show takes place on the Marvel timeline

  09-09-2026 16:23 via gamesradar.com
  
  Upcoming MCU show VisionQuest looks like a suitably trippy affair, with the grieving synthezoid retreating into his own head following the events of WandaVision and somehow coming into contact with his teenage son, Tommy Shepherd. But where exactly the show slots onto the Marvel timeline has been something of a mystery until now."Years have passed since WandaVision," VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas confirmed to Polygon. "I would say we're about current with Spider-Man: Brand New Day." If we

• GTA 6 wasn't "fully formed" when Trailer 1 released, Rockstar boss says, but the Tom Petty song it used was a "mission statement" of where it was going

  09-09-2026 15:58 via gamesradar.com
  
  It's been almost three years since we saw the first trailer for GTA 6, and Rockstar North's co-studio head has now revealed – perhaps unsurprisingly – that the game wasn't "fully formed" at that point. Despite that, though, the song used in it was a "mission statement" for what was to come. The wait for GTA 6 has felt extremely long, with Rockstar's sparse marketing certainly not helping matters. Trailer 1 was all we had to go off for a long time, introducing us to Lucia and who woul

• GTA 6 DualSense pre-orders drop soon, here's how to secure your Vice City controller

  09-09-2026 15:53 via gamesradar.com
  
  GTA 6 DualSense pre-orders will be live in less than 24 hours, which means it's time to rev the engines and get ready to stock hunt. The last time a special release like this ran out of stock was when the 30th Anniversary model hit the shelves, but with 2026 firmly gripped in GTA fever I wouldn't be surprised if things moved quickly this week as well. This isn't my first time in this situation. I've been tracking tough-to-find pre-orders since those hectic early days of the PS5's launch, coverin

• 2,045 days later, Valheim's 1.0 launch proves its scope for epic journeys is still unbeatable

  09-09-2026 15:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  I've got a theory about why people enjoy playing survival games. From Minecraft (or Unreal World if you're cool) all the way through to Valheim's 1.0 launch today after five years in Early Access, they all have something in common. Starting with nothing and building up to a mighty fortress is great, but what these games really offer is a sense of discovery – a journey into an unfamiliar world.It's something Welsh poet Dylan Thomas explores in his poem Fern Hill.

• Resident Evil Movie Director Reacts To Backlash, Says He Was “Naive” To Think Gamers Would Embrace Him

  Corsair has launched a new budget gaming chair, the Corsair TC80. I'm a big fan of any gaming chair maker that tries to make something affordable and accessible to the masses because if you've shopped around, you know that getting a good gaming seat can set you back a fortune. The new TC80 certainly has the design of a budget gaming chair - it has the look of the $100 thrones made by unknown brands at Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart.I'm actually all for that.

• Thor director Kenneth Branagh says Marvel wanted to "horizontalize" the movie's Dutch angles, but it was too expensive

  09-09-2026 13:17 via gamesradar.com
  
  Thor was one of the first movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and really set the tone for Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the visual style of the movie was extremely distinctive, relying heavily on canted angles (or Dutch angles) throughout.These are shots where the camera is slanted to create diagonal lines on screen, rather than more traditional vertical and horizontal lines. If you revisit the movie, you'll realize that Thor is absolutely full of these momen
