  10-03-2026 23:42 via gamesradar.com
  
  After bringing Dafne Keen into the MCU as Laura/X-23 in Deadpool and Wolverine, fans have been asking when she might appear next, and now they're debating whether she should stay as X-23, or take over as the new MCU Wolverine."Instead of recasting Wolverine right away when they introduce the MCU X-Men, just have Dafne Keen be a version of Wolverine for a while," reads the Reddit post that hosts the discussion. "It makes the most sense to me, that way they can ease the general public into casting

  10-03-2026 23:37 via gamesradar.com
  
  Palworld maker Pocketpair won't suddenly end major updates after the upcoming release of Palworld 1.0, but publishing head John Buckley says big patches can't realistically go on forever, or even for a decade. Speaking with GamesRadar+ at GDC, Buckley recognizes, "A lot of our hardcore fans and players would love for Palworld to be this No Man's Sky situation where it's like a decade of continuous, massive updates. But realistically, that's probably not on the cards for Palworld, not only becaus

• "Whoever sells more copies pays for the other's therapy": Peak came about after a bet between Content Warning and Another Crab's Treasure leads, and ironically the friendslop collab that followed sold more than both games combined

  10-03-2026 22:29 via gamesradar.com
  
  When Another Crab's Treasure director and Aggro Crab founder Nick Kaman found himself in therapy following a lost bet with Content Warning lead developer Wilhelm Nylund, he probably wasn't expecting to release a game co-developed by Nylund's studio Landfall Games that ended up outselling Another Crab's Treasure and Content Warning combined — but that's exactly what happened.Telling "the story of Peak" at a GDC 2026 panel attended by GamesRadar+, Kaman says he had a "raging jealousy" for Ny

• 14 years later, former EA exec is still mad about getting the "Worst Company in America" award over BP and Bank of America just because "f***ing Colonel Shepard dies in Mass Effect 3"

  10-03-2026 20:53 via gamesradar.com
  
  Peter Moore is one of the most memorable executives the game industry has ever seen. He presided over the Dreamcast at Sega of America and the Xbox at Microsoft and helped stoke the fires of the console wars. We still debate whether that tattoo was real to this day, but Moore's final stop in the game industry is perhaps the most notable. He did, after all, lead the sports division of EA during the span when the publisher was voted the Worst Company in America in 2012 and 2013."We were voted, two

  Unless the gods of mythology take pity on you like they did Pygmalion, whose ivory sculpture came to lovely life, it's rare that work ever truly cares about you as much as you worship it. 55-year games industry innovator Don Daglow gave this advice to other developers during his recent panel at the 2026 Game Developers Conference (GDC), where he'll be collecting a Lifetime Achievement Award. Instead, he tells his peers to respect the craft as much as the reward."Games are a business, and right n

  As someone borderline dependent on Animal Crossing for my nighttime wind down, there's no way I could turn my back on my island fam – my sweet Chester, my kibble-loving Nibbles. But I have to say, I haven't been this jealous of an adjacent cozy community in a minute, as Pokemon Pokopia players have been sharing some of the most wonderfully unhinged dialogue I've seen since the early '00s, back when the original Animal Crossing's villagers would send you letters with musings like, "I fear o

  Was Sabo in Loguetown when Luffy was almost executed by Buggy in One Piece? It's a question that has plagued anime fans for almost 30 years. Sparked by a teasing panel in Chapter 98 of Eiichiro Oda's beloved manga, which was published in July 1999 and depicts the silhouette of a mystery figure wearing a tall hat and fair hair in the city's square, readers have long believed that Luffy's blond-haired "brother" Sabo was there.

  Hideki Kamiya, legendary Capcom veteran with gems like Devil May Cry under his belt, has some thoughts to share on Resident Evil Requiem – a horror game that, uh, apparently has a tad too much horror in it.Experiencing the recent game alongside fellow developers from his own studio, Clovers Inc., Kamiya reveals he's always wanted a less spooky mode in Resident Evil games – you know, the horror series he worked on himself, having literally directed Resident Evil 2.

  Nintendo knows we all want a new Nintendo Direct, but hopes have been somewhat dashed after it announced the release date for its next big game on social media and its news app.People ask for a Nintendo Direct pretty much every week, but given that Nintendo hasn't held a traditional one yet this year, some assumed that we'd need to be getting one soon.

However, modder RetroOnyx has stepped in and whipped up a wireless mod board for the OG gamepad that adds wireless support for the handheld, in turn making it compatible with the headset remake.
