  Does Clayface have a post-credits scene? The DCU's first horror movie is now out in cinemas, but before you spice up your spooky season and see Clayface in cinemas, you may be wondering if it's worth sticking around until after the credits roll for one last squeamish scene. So far, each movie in James Gunn's DCU has made its own rules in terms of post-credits scenes. Superman featured two different stings, one featuring Supergirl, but one year later, Supergirl didn't include a post-credits tease

• GTA 6 CEO says AI will make creating games easier, but "making a big hit" will be as hard as ever

  10-11-2026 01:48 via GamesRadar+
  
  Researching and writing this story gave me massive deja vu, because what Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said today about AI's evolving role in game development sounds like a re-wording of what every other C-suite executive has said about AI in game dev. In case you have somewhere to be, the TLDR is that Zelnick says AI will make game development easier but won't replace human creativity.I don't want to minimize the importance of Zelnick, the guy at the top of the company funding the biggest entert

  09-11-2026 23:57 via GamesRadar+
  
  It's safe to assume Take-Two Interactive had some inkling that GTA 6 was going to be monumentally big. It did spend an estimated $1 billion funding development at Rockstar, after all. However, now that the company has had a few months to analyze pre-order data, which have made an estimated $730 million in sales, leadership says it wasn't expecting it to be this big.Take-Two says as much in its latest earnings presentation, which includes a section that reads: "Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI

• Dev creates a tool to automatically inform Sam Altman of all the RAM sitting unused in your PC

  09-11-2026 22:53 via GamesRadar+
  
  Something you learn in 13 years of video game journalism is that some people react poorly to reading things they said. Being quoted can be scary. Now the words sound the way they did leaving your mouth, not the way they may have sounded inside your head. Anyway, OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman recently complained that his remarks on a podcast, in which he bemoaned the inefficiencies of RAM sitting in personal PCs and not cooking away in AI data centers, were "taken out of context."

• Path of Exile co-creator worries Blizzard will go "too broad" with Diablo 5

  09-11-2026 20:51 via GamesRadar+
  
  It's only been a couple of months that we've known about the existence of Diablo 5, and as such there are a ton of open questions about the direction it'll take. Blizzard teased a few fundamentals during BlizzCon 2026, like the fact that it'll take place in a Sanctuary that's been completely overtaken by Diablo and his minions, and that there will no longer be any traditional towns or safe havens to hide from the bad guys. It's been clear to me that Blizzard is doubling down on the horror-driven

  A former Mass Effect lead has said that Clair Obscur is a good example of what a team could do with a lower budget Mass Effect 5.Last week BioWare co-founder Trent Oster said that saving Mass Effect 5 – after EA abruptly closed the beloved RPG studio last month – would cost over $200 million to happen due in part to fan expectations of a premium AAA experience, with him noting this would also factor into having "a bigger plan in place for the IP."Christina Norman – who was the lead cinemat

  World of Warcraft: Forever continues to soar, boasting Blizzard's biggest concurrent player launch in its MMO's history – but it hasn't come without controversy, especially in PvP, where players report a heck of an imbalance.So, what imbalance would that be? Well, it has to do with the game's two factions – because of course it does.You've got the Alliance and the Horde, each encompassing unique races (and within them, unique racial abilities that prove more powerful in either PvE or PvP), a

Naturally, then, he became enthralled by Baldur's Gate 3 just like the rest of us, largely because of how it rejected principles of his former workplace.In an interview with The Examined Game, Nesmith discusses what he enjoyed about Larian Studios' take on the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

• Rockstar spins the GTA 6 wheel again and lands on comically large music festival

• GTA: Tokyo saw Rockstar negotiate with a Japanese studio, former Grand Theft Auto lead says

  Decades before GTA 6, Rockstar Games was considering getting a Japanese studio to develop the now-abandoned GTA: Tokyo, according to a former technical director on the series, but he reckons that there's "so much Americana inherent in the IP" that it might not have worked, anyway. It sounds like we were so close – yet so far – from getting GTA: Tokyo. A trademark for the title was filed by Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive back in late 2003, after the release of Vice City, but was later li
