• OG Fallout devs had to talk themselves into the RPG's name: "My immediate reaction was 'ehh...'"

  10-02-2026 14:06 via gamesradar.com
  
  The developers behind the original Fallout have recalled that many on the team weren't exactly fans of the now-iconic name at first.No matter how you feel about the Fallout games, it's hard to argue that that isn't a perfect name for the series. Being able to encapsulate what the game is about in a single word is no easy feat, but the post-apocalyptic vibe is nailed (and the subtitle of A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game probably helped too, mind you). But it turns out some of the people who disag

• 4v4 fighter Marvel Tokon will reportedly only have 20 fighters at launch, leaving fans underwhelmed at the idea of one team using "20% of the entire playable roster"

  10-02-2026 12:43 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Steam page for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has been updated, confirming 20 characters will be included in the launch roster, leaving some to wonder if that's enough for a 4v4 fighting game.When it comes to fighting games, it's typically customary for a tag team fighter like Marvel Vs Capcom to launch with a pretty big roster due to the individual characters being less developed than you'd find in something like Street Fighter to accommodate a bigger selection of fighters – and to make

  While The Mandalorian and Grogu had a presence at this year's Super Bowl, it wasn't a straightforward trailer for the Star Wars movie.Instead, the clip was a 36-second ad that saw Mando and Grogu travelling through the snow, pulled along by tauntauns. Grogu takes the reins, and, at the end of the ad, he also strokes a tauntaun snout.So, why not a traditional trailer? Lucasfilm's marketing brand lead Ryan Stankevich shed some light on the move."Our creative and marketing team landed on a unique c

  Monster Hunter Wilds producer Ryozo Tsujimoto has confirmed that the monster-slaying RPG is indeed getting an expansion, but it won't be announced in full until summer.Since Monster Hunter arrived on the scene, it's customary that it gets an expansion, adding Master Rank (or G Rank) to the game.

• Resident Evil devs monitored players' brainwaves to ensure their free-to-play spin-off was sufficiently scary, which is weird because almost no one thinks it's scary

  10-02-2026 02:09 via gamesradar.com
  
  When the free-to-play mobile spinoff Resident Evil Survival Unit quietly launched last November, I distinctly remember a lack of chatter around it. Resident Evil is one of my all-time favorite franchises, and even though it looked, smelled, and quacked like a generic mobile game wearing a Resident Evil skin, I still had to know if it was any good. And from what little I could find online, that did not appear to be the case, and so I quickly moved and forgot about it.Now here I am, writing a stor

• Helldivers 2 devs didn't know if players would actually manage to defend Super Earth last time, so as they drop Cyberstan on their heads, "we don't know what will happen"

  10-02-2026 01:30 via gamesradar.com
  
  One of the most unique things about Helldivers 2 is the way the collective player base determines the way the story unfolds based on whether or not they're successful in liberating territory from various threats. The latest enemies in the ongoing Galactic War, the cyborgs, are at the center of Helldivers 2's "most ambitious" update yet, and the folks at Arrowhead genuinely don't know how it's going to play out.Machinery of Oppression is the next big Helldivers 2 update, and it'll usher in the Ba

  Shiny hunting is a time-honored tradition among hardcore Pokemon fans, but there's one Shiny hunt in particular that stands out above the rest – not a quest to claim specially colored Pokemon, but rather to get specially colored clothes that look like Pokemon. Yes, Shiny clothes have been confounding Pokemon Battle Revolution fans for nigh on 20 years, and after all this time it seems one prolific Shiny hunter who goes by Noa_Kyogre is the first to have collected the entire set.Pokemon Bat

  Steven Spielberg has been making movies about aliens for his entire career, with his upcoming film Disclosure Day just the latest in his sci-fi oeuvre. According to the legendary filmmaker, what sets Disclosure Day apart from films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET, and even Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is how many people are now asking for the truth about "what's happening in our skies.""I've always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained.

• John Helldiver is Arrowhead canon thanks to Helldivers 2 players: "Named by the community"

  Helldivers 2 players long ago christened the character from the game's intro cinematic as John Helldiver – the ultimate embodiment of freedom, democracy, and impossibly deep insincerity. Arrowhead has increasingly taken to this moniker, and a new interview with the game's director suggests that the name is pretty much canon now."I think one of the strengths of Helldivers is that it is very easy to understand the fantasy and get into it quickly," game director Mikael Eriksson tells IGN.
