• Final Fantasy Resonance fans want the true stars of Brave Exvius, not just JRPG icons like Cloud and Tidus: "Bring my girl Ariana Grande back"

  10-06-2026 17:09 via gamesradar.com
  
  As you're likely aware by now, Final Fantasy Resonance is based on the deceased mobile RPG Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. 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

  10-06-2026 17:07 via gamesradar.com
  
  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. "He definitely had flashbacks to being Captain America, along with his struggles with public backlash and imposte

• Resident Evil Veronica's first-person trailer was a deliberate misdirect, Capcom producer confirms the horror game is fully third-person

  10-06-2026 17:01 via gamesradar.com
  
  Capcom remains surprisingly secretive about Resident Evil Veronica. 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.

  10-06-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com

• Fable delay was a "disappointment," Playground boss says, but avoiding GTA 6 can give the RPG "the attention this game deserves"

  10-06-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  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. Xbox had plenty to show during the latest run of video game conferences, though one announcement that caught the eye was the confirmation that Fable is indeed delayed. Rumors of just that had persisted before the event, though the origin

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

  10-06-2026 16:39 via gamesradar.com
  
  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

  Apple unveiled iPadOS 27 during Monday's WWDC event, with the good news that the software update will be available for all but the oldest iPads currently in circulation.

That's because iPadOS 27 comes stacked with new processes that require Apple Intelligence to run, and that little add-on is only available on devices with an M1 chip or late

  Even though Summer Game Fest has come to a close, a surprise Nintendo Direct yesterday gave us Legend of Zelda fans what we'd long been hoping for: confirmation of an Ocarina of Time remake… finally.Although I'm personally a bit disappointed that the rumors of a Twilight Princess revamp didn't end up ringing true this Nintendo Direct, I'm beyond thrilled to know Ocarina of Time is getting a remake (or, well, another one… if you count the 3DS release).

They feel really impersonal, especially when you pick one up online, as they typically just arrive as code to your inbox.I'm not sure if Nintendo was listening in on my gifting woes, or just wanted an excuse to flog off its most expensive $100 (Nintendo) eShop card, but if you grab one from the official US Store, you now get

  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.

  Microsoft is clearly trying to tug on my translucent tech-loving heartstrings with the Xbox Wireless Controller X25, and it's working. Sure, the star of the show is the 25th anniversary Series X and its green getup that pays homage to the OG transparent console, but most of you will probably just scramble for the gamepad. Rather than doing that, though, I'd urge you to check out an existing alternative that offers better features and compatibility with the company's oldest and newest systems.I a
