• 1666 Amsterdam dev apologizes for AI in prologue demo, says "full game will not include any assets generated by AI"

  10-06-2026 21:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  Panache Digital Games, the studio led by OG Assassin's Creed director Patrice Desilets, has apologized for letting AI-generated assets slip into the prologue demo for its upcoming action-adventure game, 1666: Amsterdam.When 1666: Amsterdam resurfaced at this year's Summer Game Fest with a horror-tinged trailer full of witchy themes and black cats, I'll freely admit I was transfixed in the best way. I'm a simple man: give me an alternative take on a historical city, throw in some black magic and

• Square Enix finally announced the one Final Fantasy game I've wanted for 8 years

  10-06-2026 19:13 via gamesradar.com
  
  Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is the talk of JRPG town post-Summer Game Fest 2026, but as much as I am looking forward to it, the third installment in a remake of an old JRPG is less interesting to me than fresher experiences. This is one reason that Final Fantasy Resonance, due October 22 and based on the Brave Exvius side game but retooled as a complete package, is at the top of my mind instead.Resonance represents Final Fantasy's return to turn-based combat and its introduction to the HD-2D styl

• My favorite JRPG ever added a wildly out-of-place racing minigame and I'm so glad it exists: "Xenoblade Kart is real"

  10-06-2026 18:52 via gamesradar.com
  
  Yesterday was a fantastic day to be a Xenoblade fan. Not only did the Nintendo Direct reveal a brand new game in Xenoblade Genesis, a shadow-dropped Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition has added a new minigame I never knew I needed: Xenoblade Kart. Or at least, that's what JRPG fans are calling it. While the headlining changes to Xenoblade Chronicles on Switch 2 are the resolution and frame rate boosts, Monolith Soft has also added Ether Jets, all-new, high-speed vehicle

• Nomura, you've done it again: Kingdom Hearts 4's new trailer features a character from a now-delisted spin-off MMO, and we wouldn't have it any other way

  10-06-2026 18:44 via gamesradar.com
  
  As someone who's a fan of both Final Fantasy and Disney, I love Kingdom Hearts. I do not love the series' scattered and frequently knotted lore, however, and the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer has planted us right back in the wilds of esoteric nonsense.In the trailer, we see a black-haired younger man wearing a dark face mask and blazer. He appears for just a second amid Sora's battle against a gigantic heartless in the middle of a city. Even though he's already part of the franchise, you likely don't

• "The game and all of you deserve a proper launch": Dev delays extraction shooter the day before release and hits the emergency Early Access button after Steam players break the servers

  10-06-2026 18:33 via gamesradar.com
  
  Running a playtest of any kind can be extremely illuminating. In the case of Sand: Raiders of Sophie, an upcoming extraction shooter that borrows the roving fortress concept from Howl's Moving Castle, a public session has led the devs to change the release plan entirely.The FPS recently held a server slam on the back of being shown at Summer Game Fest 2026, leading to a larger windfall of findings than expected.

• If you use more than one PC or console, there's a specific gaming monitor perk that I'd prioritize

  10-06-2026 18:33 via gamesradar.com
  
  We're swiftly entering gaming monitor hunting season, and that means deliberating over an endless list of display features and specs. If you're seeking a new screen, you'll no doubt be already deliberating over whether to invest in a swanky OLED panel, stick with a traditional IPS display, or give brighter mini LEDs a try. Before you even think about any of that tech tomfoolery, though, I need those of you who play games across multiple systems to consider grabbing something with a remote contro

  Alongside Destiny 2's final update, Bungie has released an all-in-one bundle collecting every last piece of premium content for the MMO, and with a hefty discount, it's among the best ways you can spend $25 right now. Destiny 2: The Collection is now available on all platforms (on Steam here, for easy browsing). Even at $70, it offers reasonable savings and a ton of fantastic experiences. At $25, it's a steal – nearly a decade of fun for less than what I've paid for individual expansions.

• "If you're Nintendo, you're looking to kill": Ocarina of Time remake teaser fell flat with Legend of Zelda fans because of leaks, ex-marketing leads say

  10-06-2026 18:19 via gamesradar.com
  
  As Summer Game Fest came to a close, a surprise Nintendo Direct gave us Legend of Zelda stans what we've long been hoping for: confirmation of an Ocarina of Time remake.It didn't exactly come out of the blue, however, as rumors have been circulating regarding the remake for some time, thanks to well-known leaker Nate the Hate. That might've put a bit of a damper on the entire "reveal" from Nintendo, which arguably wasn't the biggest out there.
  It's a very short teaser, all things considered, sho

  Dragon's Dogma 2 is getting its own Dark Arisen expansion in October, so Capcom's rolling out the red carpet to perk up the game years after its polarizing launch. This follows the Summer Game Fest reveal of the Ascendance expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds, another action RPG that struggled with performance issues (especially on PC) throughout a protracted comeback arc, as Capcom looks to paint over two troubled releases amidst an otherwise glowing lineup.

  Nintendo Switch Sports Resort pre-orders may be brand new to the shelves, but that's not stopping retailers from discounting the mini-game package. Amazon and Walmart both have the $59.99 Switch 2 edition at $10 off this week, though you'll need to add the box to your cart in order to see the final price.

• "I saved you all": Path of Exile 2 player sacrifices rare level 100 character to give everyone else a free skill point as world-first "Martyr of the First Edict"

  10-06-2026 17:21 via gamesradar.com
  
  Exploration often requires giving up part of yourself. We call it growth. In the case of a particular Path of Exile 2 player, it meant losing his level 100 character after weeks of grinding, but the reward is being part of the game's history.The action RPG's latest update, Return of the Ancients, contains several enigmas, one of which is a strange chamber in an otherwise empty room. Examining it prompts a request to "Become the Martyr of the first Edict," with the warning that your hero would be

As such, BE fans have wasted little time in demanding that Square Enix remember the girlies that people truly turned up for.That is, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, and Addison Rae. Sit down, Cloud. Now is not your time.While Final Fantasy Brave Exvius was typical of the series at the time in that you had turn-based combat, crystals, and chocobos, it was also a gacha game. You could

• A Marvel fan has spotted an interesting detail in Thunderbolts, and I hope we see it explored in Avengers: Doomsday

  The big reveal at the end of Thunderbolts that the group of heroes will now be known as The New Avengers is a lot of fun to watch. None of the team really know how to react, but as one Marvel fan noticed, if you look at John Walker's face, it's clear to see that he's especially not loving the news."I love John Walker’s reaction to the 'New Avengers' moment," the Redditor wrote.

Despite offering a behind-closed-doors presentation at Summer Game Fest, the company didn't show anything beyond what everyone got to see in the public reveal, but producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi did reveal a few details in a Q&A with members of the media.

  Xbox's slate for the next year and beyond is looking bright after its big Xbox Games Showcase, with Spyro: A Realm Beyond being one of the highlights as the iconic purple dragon finally returns with a brand new game for the first time in 18 years.

  Playground general manager Ralph Fulton admits that delaying Fable initially led to a "bit of disappointment" among the developers, but hopes that getting out of the way of GTA 6 and other games maneuvering around it can help give the RPG the moment it deserves.

• I've spent four days testing Secretlab's new productivity chair, and it might be the brand's best seat yet

  I recently had the chance to visit Secretlab's HQ ahead of the launch of its latest chair, the Atlas. I, like many, have been known to criticize the firmness of this brand's cushioning in the past. The Secretlab Titan Evo is a popular product, but it's never been my pick for the best gaming chair because while it has unreal build quality, it can feel a little too solid to sit in for my liking. So when I first got to sit down in the Atlas, I could feel Secretlab employees perched, eager to know i

  The Mandalorian and Grogu may be a standalone movie, but the Star Wars film includes a flurry of nods to the franchise and has brought up many discussions within the fan base, including how powerful the Hutts are. Over on Reddit, one fan pointed out how the new movie shines a new light on the Hutts after Jabba made a rather weak first impression in the original trilogy.
