• Castlevania: Belmont's Curse lead says if we have to wait 10 years for another game "the whole thing is meaningless"

  Konami has said that Castlevania: Belmont's Curse won't be the end of the series, and you probably won't have to wait 10 years for a new one to actually release.While Castlevania has been arguably the most present Konami series since the release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain – which ushered in the era where the publisher wasn't really making games – it's still been 12 years since the last entry, Lords of Shadow 2 (and even longer since the last traditional game).

• Metal Gear Solid's Snake actor wants Konami to continue the series, even if Hideo Kojima isn't involved

  Akio Otsuka, the Japanese voice for pretty much every Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, has said Konami should release a new game in the series, even if Hideo Kojima isn't involved. While David Hayter is synonymous with Snake for many, Otsuka perhaps has the most prolific run as the character in the series history. Not only did he – like Hayter – play Solid and Naked Snake, but he also provided the voice for Metal Gear Solid 2's Solidus Snake (played by John Cygan) and Metal Gear

• GTA 6 boss says Rockstar has to "forego realism" for the sake of the players

  05-10-2026 13:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  Rockstar Games might have gained a reputation for making realistic games, but the devs behind GTA 6 sometimes have to "forego realism" for the sake of the player experience, says Rob Nelson, co-studio head of Rockstar North. In a new interview with Love magazine, Nelson discusses GTA 6's balance between realism and immersion, noting that Rockstar's goal is the latter and that realism doesn't always help achieve it."Sometimes you need things to feel realistic to help with that sense of immersion,

• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead is "bored and tired" of "repetitive" RPGs and "games for teenagers"

  05-10-2026 13:07 via gamesradar.com
  
  There are some well-worn tropes in RPGs. The protagonist is often some form of destined saviour, on a quest to defeat a cartoonishly evil villain, with a selection of side-characters along the way. Warhorse Studios actively rejects all of that when it comes to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, because in the studio's mind, they sell the genre short.In an interview with PC Gamer, Martin Klíma, co-founder of Warhorse Studios and executive producer on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor

Bayonetta was an iconic release in the genre during the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation, and the monster-spanking witch only solidified her place among the action greats with two direct sequels and a spin-off prequel exclusively on Nintendo consoles - not to mention her many appearances in other games, from Super S

  Picture it: a suited exec walks onto a stage and announces a new game about influencing and controlling people, about good and evil. And the clincher: it'll all be driven by machine learning. In 2026, that game has to be a dystopia. That's where our imaginations go now when we hear anything about AI and social control. There'd be a grim synthwave drone underpinning scenes of trench-coated cyberpunks. There would be absolutely no apes casting spells. But 2001 was a very different time, and Black

• From Batman to Wonder Woman, here are the 3 must-read DC Absolute Universe comics

  DC made a very interesting decision in late 2024. Following the death of long-term villain Darkseid, the DC universe split in two. In one half was the traditional DC continuity that we've all been following for many years, in the other was a new "Absolute" universe, that saw remixed versions of classic characters.In part this felt like an attempt by DC to ape the success of Marvel's Ultimate universe – an early 2000s comics line that presented revamped versions of the publisher's character
