  Blizzard Entertainment just revealed a brand new StarCraft game.

StarCraft was revealed at BlizzCon 2026 with an exceptionally pretty cinematic trailer. We've pulled everything you need to know about the new game into one place, including the first cinematic and screenshots. So keep o

• The MCU's post-Doomsday X-Men should take notes from Marvel's Wolverine, just like Brand New Day did with Spider-Man

  15-09-2026 15:06 via gamesradar.com
  
  PlayStation exclusive games like Marvel's Wolverine and Marvel's Spider-Man aren't Sony's only connection to superhero media. Sony Pictures also produces the Tom Holland-starring Spider-Man movies (and, of course, the likes of Madame Webb). That's created some creative opportunities, as Tom Holland himself has admitted that some of Brand New Day's terrific stunts and fight scenes were inspired by the trilogy of games. Considering the Spider-Man flicks are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, M

• You Could Get The Blood Of Dawnwalker For Less Than The Price Of A Coffee With This Mystery Crate

  15-09-2026 14:59 via gamespot.com
  
  I love The Blood of Dawnwalker. As someone who usually finds themselves sticking to the storyline and just driving through the main plot, I’ve found myself losing track of time (ironically) in the blood-drinking shoes of Coen. Vampires are awesome, and The Blood of Dawnwalker delivers these creatures of the night in a tantalizing RPG that, if anything, has changed my perspective on the genre. So, when an opportunity to get it for less than a cup of coffee comes along, you can bet your stak

• Diablo 5 Doubles Down On The Darkness, But Hope Still Has A Place In Sanctuary

  Diablo's world of Sanctuary isn't a top tourist destination, thanks to roaming monsters and demonic forces looking to corrupt humanity, and in Diablo 5, everything has gone to hell--quite literally! Unlike the previous games in the series, which revolved around saving Sanctuary from Diablo and his Prime Evil Kin, Diablo 5 kicks off long after the Lord of Terror has conquered the land. In a world this bleak, how will players find the motivation to keep going when evil has already triumphed?Speaki

• Metal Gear Solid 5 modders are bringing the open-world stealth game more in line with the PS1 classic in a crucial way

  15-09-2026 14:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  A new Metal Gear Solid 5 mod has been released which aims to bring back the feeling of the series' classic games by allowing you to go in with nothing. Metal Gear Solid changed pretty drastically with its final entries. Metal Gear Solid 4 sowed the seeds with the Drebin shop, but Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and 5 took the series in a different direction. The original MSX2 games and Solid trilogy had you infiltrating enemy bases with only the clothes on your back (or very little supplies) and e

  Fable has been a long time coming, with its development spanning several waves of layoffs at publisher Xbox, as well as the cancellation of high-profile projects. But the RPG's director suggests that the RPG has been unscathed because it's viewed as "vital to the DNA of the platform."A new interview with The Guardian really puts into perspective how long Fable has been in the works, with production apparently starting as far back as 2016. We wouldn't see Playground Games' reveal trailer until 20

• How to beat the Marvel's Wolverine Omega Red boss fight

  15-09-2026 13:16 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Wolverine Omega Red fight is a tricky battle after facing relatively weak Trask soldiers and Reavers, but once you understand how it works, it should become much easier. Unlike the regular enemies you've been fighting in Marvel's Wolverine until this point, Omega Red can't be bombarded with erratic attacks, and you need to take a much more reactive approach to combat, with parrying and dodging being critical to success. But there's more to bear in mind, so I've laid out some tips for beating

While it's still early days in terms of how itemization will be handled in the game, Blizzard has confirmed that gear-based sets will return. Set items were originally absent from Diablo 4 when the game launched in 2023, although set bonuses were later added through the Talisman s

  It's nothing new for heroes and villains to switch sides. Venom started out as a real pain. Sinestro was the greatest Green Lantern of them all, until he wasn't. Perhaps one of the most forgotten heel turns in comic book history, however, involves billionaire bad guy Maxwell Lord, who has now been played by two different stars on the big screen – Pedro Pascal in Wonder Woman 1984 and Sean Gunn in Superman.
