So, two games. The irony of this latest partnership is that the pack containing your cosmetics and what not is actually more expensive than the base game.I wish I were joking.

  08-10-2026 16:22 via gamesradar.com
  
  Dragon's Dogma 2 is back in the limelight now after its 2024 launch thanks to its Dark Arisen DLC, which lands tomorrow – and is apparently superior to its 2013 predecessor.A whopping 13 years ago now, the original Dragon's Dogma RPG from Capcom got its own Dark Arisen expansion, and admittedly, I loved it. Everything from the Bitterblack Isle to the formidable foes the DLC boasted had me in a chokehold – and this week, the new Dragon's Dogma 2 Dark Arisen content threatens to do the

These provide a random character or enemy from the Nintendo series with a mini-diorama that you build, and they tend to start from around $10 at Amazon.

  08-10-2026 13:43 via gamesradar.com
  
  Crash Team Racing, a PS1 racer that I'd argue is better than Mario Kart, finally just arrived on PC thanks to a decomp. If you've been waiting for the chaotic Naughty Dog spin-off to break free from its retro console prison, you'll probably already be making weekend plans, but this is sadly yet another project made using AI.Dubbed Crash Team Racing: Turbocharged, the shiny new port is actually based on the existing CTR native project. The latter is the product of human coders who've been decompi

• Next Gears of War game won't "take nearly as long," The Coalition boss promises after 7 year gap

  08-10-2026 13:11 via gamesradar.com
  
  After the seven year wait between Gears 5 and Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition studio head Mike Crump says we won't be waiting quite as long for what's next. Gears of War: E-Day is finally out after being announced back in June 2024, and by extension has ended the series longest hiatus. Gears 5 was released all the way back in 2019, following a three year wait between it and Gears 4 – which in turn only took three years to release after the launch of Gears of War Judgement.

• Unity CEO launching an AI you can use to reproduce games says doing so "does not make you Kojima"

  08-10-2026 13:03 via gamesradar.com
  
  There's a new wrinkle in generative AI-assisted game development with Unity Spark, a tool specifically designed to make such practices easier. The idea is, if you have a notion about a game, you can bring up the chatbot, throw in a prompt, and it can help build a working prototype. But Unity wants to be clear - this isn't about producing games in the blink of an eye, and using it like that doesn't suddenly make you a clever dev.That's what Unity CEO Matt Bromberg told Game File, anyway, in his e

• Joe Russo explains why Doctor Doom is "very difficult to beat" in Avengers: Doomsday

  08-10-2026 12:31 via gamesradar.com
  
  Avengers: Doomsday sees MCU's best and brightest uniting to try to defeat Doctor Doom, but from everything that's been teased so far, it seems it will be their greatest challenge yet. We haven't seen much of the character, aside from a few post-credits nods, so as an audience, it's tricky to work out why he is such a formidable foe. Now director Joe Russo has shed some light on that in a new interview. "Doom’s magic is ancient," he told Fandango. "He is a very powerful character, as you ca

  Ahead of Arc Raiders' Frozen Trail update, a veritable relaunch following several quiet months, developer Embark Studios anticipated a decline in concurrent and daily players and chose to go all-in anyway, even if it meant weathering a few months of Steam CCU discourse. Speaking with GamesRadar+, Arc Raiders executive producer Aleksander Grøndal examines the conversations around the game's player count, which has unsurprisingly declined after a huge launch. This year, Arc Raiders joined t

• Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis devs are cutting back on modern hand holding

  07-10-2026 23:05 via gamesradar.com
  
  The original Tomb Raider is often obtuse and obscure, challenging you to climb your way through intricate levels inch by inch. Later games in the series would gradually become more friendly, offering clearly marked pathways and handholds to prevent players from ever getting lost. For Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the developers want to make sure those stretches of isolation and exploration are front and center once again."We celebrate those moments to say, 'Hey, let's not hold your hand.

  It has been zero days since an Old School RuneScape update gave players a heart attack. Following the rollout of a new training arena led by the NPC Pete Kayer, ironically meant to help players practice their PvP skills and survive, OSRS fans quickly noticed a bug that was interfering with the MMO's death mechanics and causing incredibly valuable gear to vanish.

  The Last of Us 2 has the perfect video game ending for my money. Without spoiling anything in case you've yet to experience this masterpiece of a game, it's bitterly unsatisfying but somehow, thematically and narratively, the only way to wrap up the story in a way that does justice to the characters, who they are, and what they've all been through.OK, now I will get into spoilers, so again, if somehow The Last of Us 2 has eluded you in the six years it's been out, go play that darned game and co

"There's so much cruelty in the show, but it was also seeing the lack of horror on Chris's face that became more horrific to me.
