  06-05-2026 23:07 via gamesradar.com
  
  Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick tells reporter Stephen Totilo in a new edition of his Game File newsletter that he's never shocked when studios like Rockstar inevitably delay GTA 6 to the moment of Christ's resurrection.

  06-05-2026 23:05 via gamesradar.com
  
  Old School RuneScape developer Jagex is fast approaching the kind of technical obstacle that, in some ways, many MMO creators would kill for: the game's apparently been around for so long, and has added so much new content, that it's about to run out of an essential technical resource that risks, in one developer's words, "the game exploding." This revelation began, as many interesting OSRS facts do, with a joke on the 2007scape subreddit. A fake social media post attributed to beloved developer

In a new report on Godot's stats going into 2026, lead rendering maintainer Clay John examines the engine's rise in popularity through a couple of lenses.

  I'm really starting to worry for GTA 6 fans. More than usual.

  Ambitions are clearly quite high with The Blood of Dawnwalker, a grim, gothic upcoming RPG from fledgling studio Rebel Wolves. But despite the team boasting talent from CD Projekt Red who helped ship The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, their aspirations are more contained, focusing on creating a distinct, dense experience rather than competing directly with other games when it comes to their RPG's size."We were very much aware of the fact that we can't and we don't want to challenge other projects
