<title>World of Warcraft: Forever Announces Major Race Changes</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23210</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23210</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Blizzard just shared a post revealing massive race changes coming to World of Warcraft: Forever. Before the official reveal at BlizzCon last month, there were many rumors about what a World of Warcraft &quot;Classic +&quot; would be, including new timelines, classes, races, and a mix of features from Classic and retail. Interestingly, that is pretty much what the actual implementation of the rumored Classic + ended up being. World of Warcraft: Forever combines many of these aspects with player agency over SD or HD graphics, new race and class combinations, and more. ]]></description>

<title>New Survival Horror Game on Steam Officially &amp;apos;Steals&amp;apos; Alan Wake 2’s Best Trick</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23204</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23204</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The absolute boom the horror genre has been experiencing in recent years, both in the film and video game industries, is undeniable. Resident Evil and Silent Hill have both had a resurgence by offering a mixture of brand-new entries and high-quality remakes (Resident Evil finally achieved critical acclaim on the big screen in 2026, too). Dead Space may be back on ice, but Motive’s remake of the original entry was nothing short of brilliant. And then, there’s Alan Wake 2, a creative and jumpscare-filled experience that successfully propelled the franchise from action adventure to full survival horror. This particular game was so memorable, in fact, that it’s seemingly influencing lesser-known projects like Steam’s Tenebris Sombra. ]]></description>

<title>Bit Reactor CEO Welcomes Return of Some Furloughed Staff for &amp;apos;Continued Support&amp;apos; of Star Wars Zero Company</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23208</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23208</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Bit Reactor, the developer of Star Wars Zero Company, has begun returning some of its staff to the team after furloughing an estimated 80% of employees just before the game’s launch. Bit Reactor’s CEO Greg Foertsch revealed the news in a public post on October 7, where he explained that the furloughs were necessary to “help us eventually bring as many people back as possible.” Foertsh said that bringing these staff members back to Bit Reactor was an “important step forward” in the studio’s “continued support for Zero Company,” and that the team looks forward to sharing more updates about the game “soon.” “Having to ask team members to step away after we navigated unexpected business developments outside of our control and so close to launch was an incredibly difficult decision,” Foertsh wrote. “...This team means a tremendous amount to me, and I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. Thank you to our fans for the incredible response to the game and for supporting us along this journey.” Sources with information about the situation told GameFile that the number of Bit Reactor’s payrolled staff now account for “more than half of what it had been ahead of the furloughs,” meaning that there is still a sizeable chunk of furloughed staff who aren’t getting paid. Star Wars Zero Company launched in August 2026 to rave reviews, getting a sparkling nine out of 10 from our reviewers here at IGN who praised it for being an “excellent tactical game that does a fantastic job of slathering on the same cinematic look and feel we saw in Respawn&#039;s Star Wars Jedi games, incorporating strong characters and a storyline that&#039;s refreshingly centered on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain.” Despite its success, much of Bit Reactor’s staff were placed on leave without pay just before Zero Company launched, with reports indicating around 80% of employees were affected. This has become a recurring trend within the game development industry, to the point where Gears of War: E-Day developers were overcome with worry that they would get laid off after “crunching hard” to get the game out on time. This is the latest news to get revealed about Zero Company after GameFile uncovered legal documents revealing that the game was initially pitched as a title within the Titanfall universe, with specific connections to Apex Legends. While this pitch ultimately didn’t go through, it’s certainly intriguing enough to make us wonder what such a game would have looked like, had it actually been made.  ]]></description>

<title>Coaches: Tourist Jobs</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23195</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23195</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In one of our previous blogs, we gave you a closer look at the Quick Jobs and Contract Jobs you will be able to take on with Coaches when the DLC releases. But these won&#039;t be the only opportunities available to you. Today, we&#039;d like to tell you more about Tourist Jobs!Tourist Jobs will offer a different gameplay experience from Quick Jobs and Contract Jobs, as well as from the jobs you are used to doing with your truck. As the name suggests, you will step into the role of a bus driver, taking passengers who are enjoying their day off on trips from a bus station to an interesting landmark. These destinations may include beautiful natural scenery, city centers where passengers can enjoy some sightseeing, or occasionally even industrial depots where they can take a guided tour. Of course, some of these destinations often have their own opening hours, and the arrival times take this into account.Tourist Jobs are distinguished by whether the landmarks they visit are locally or globally known, which in turn determines the length of the journey. When you arrive at the final destination, you will be able to enjoy a scenic viewpoint accompanied by a short cutscene, giving you a taste of what your passengers came to see and providing even more incentive to discover these places for yourself.   Many of these viewpoints will also feature a short description of the location, allowing you to learn something new about the place you have just visited.Once you have given your passengers some time to take in the sights, don&#039;t forget to bring them safely back home! Compared to Contract Jobs, Tourist Jobs offer a more leisurely schedule. This gives you more freedom to take your time, enjoy the scenery, and make the journey itself part of the experience.Looking forward to being part of the journey and experiencing a new gameplay perspective when Coaches is released? Then don&#039;t forget to add the Coaches DLC to your Steam wishlist!Also, make sure to keep track of future updates by following us on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and YouTube, or sign up for our newsletter to stay in touch with the latest news. Until next time, safe travels!https://store.steampowered.com/app/3809270/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2__Coaches/ ]]></description>

<title>Dev Corner &amp;amp; Open Beta: Energy #2</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23196</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23196</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hello again! After a lot of reactions last week, we’ve made some changes. We are still not sure if we should release this or not, but based on the reactions we also decided to make this an open beta.Changes since last dev corner: Power plants now fulfill a state slot instead of the shared factory slots You can build up to 3 levels of power plants in a single state Research has been added, allowing you to gain more energy from the plants Oil now also impacts energy generation. We still want to keep oil focused on being fuel for your army, and coal focused on being fuel for your industry. Introduced a bonus for having spare capacity Added 2 new MIO policies, reducing power cost or increasing power cost of production with those MIO’sLet’s take a look at Germany’s state in early 1940.They are producing a significant amount of energy through their power plants, though their Dams are helping them as well. As you can see, they also researched “Hydrogen-Cooled Generators”, raising the total energy production by 10%.They require a total of 897.5 energy, and 100% is supplied. They generate 1130.3 energy, out of 1130.3 so there is no headroom available. Why is more generated than demand? That is because of the spare capacity! All of this gives them a spare capacity of 100%. The amount of spare capacity you need to reach is based on the number of factories you have in total, making it much easier to hit spare capacity early on in your playthrough.If we look at the production screen and we collapse their entries, we can see how the energy cost is distributed. We can see air taking on the majority of cost, besides tanks as well as pure gun production.What if we enable one of the new MIO policies. We raise the power cost, but for that we gain some nice bonuses, mainly additional efficiency gain compared to the (quite strong) assembly line optimisers.Well it makes the MP 38 production line the most costly one.​Power plants are also more susceptible to strategic bombing, allowing you to target your enemy&#039;s industry more than ever. Though if they are able to maintain enough spare capacity, they are able to repair quicker than before.The Tech TreeOilI know many of you want to able to burn Oil for energy, and this is possible due to mods. We discussed a bit back and forth between allowing it in vanilla and not, and in the end we decided that it’s probably better for the vanilla experience to not confuse players too much. As mentioned at the start, we want to keep oil focused on being fuel for your army, and coal focused on being fuel for your industry. That said, oil fields now positively affect power plants, and power plants in those regions generate more power because of natural oil resources.Oil provides a +30 energy sourceOverall, what is the intention? ​To have energy feel like a real thing, it’s produced &amp; consumed in places where you expect it to be. Smaller countries should still feel as if they are able to contribute, but perhaps they need to specialize instead of going wide. Competing with the majors in advanced equipment is still hard, as it should be, but it is now a question of investment and priorities rather. It does help with unlimited growth, and for smaller countries such as Hungary stepping to War Economy means you have to invest in power plants before being able to do so.This Open Beta is not translated, and does not contain any new art assets. Please give it a try and share an AAR on how it went, let us know any balancing or other concerns!Patch NotesEnergy Rework Added a country power pool: demand comes from production line power draw, supply from factories and power plants; the supply/demand ratio drives the factory energy buff &amp; debuff Added Power Plants as an upgradeable state-level building. Output depends on the state (terrain, oil, dams) Dockyards, civilian and military factories now generate some power Dams now matter for power generation, and were reassigned dam types. Added new massive dams Spare power now grants a surplus bonus, and oil states boost power plants Coal is only burned when needed Production lines now have an energy cost, with a tooltip breakdown per category (air, naval, land) Added power generation/consumption modifiers; removed the old energy building MIOs: added a production energy draw stat, with Electrified Assembly and Power Rationing policies Added a research tech related to power Industrial focus branches in most focus trees now reward power plants Added 1936 &amp; 1939 starting power plant setup for the world Topbar power bar, lack-of-power alert and tooltips now use the power pool, listing generation per source, power plant states, coal usage and maximum generated power Technology and trade window now supports coal and oil burning AI builds power plants as needed Missing: New art for the various icons ]]></description>

<title>Virtus.pro and Team Falcons crowned PEC &amp;amp; PAS Finals 2 Champions!</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23191</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23191</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Following an exciting 3 days of action last weekend at the PUBG EMEA Championship: Fall and PUBG Americas Series 2, Virtus.pro and Team Falcons were crowned as the Finals 2 Champions! Both teams finished the weekend with commanding leads over the rest of the pack. The weekend particularly represented a good return to form for Virtus.pro, who convincingly made up for their 13th place position in Finals 1 with a truly dominant performance in Finals 2 to sweep the lobby. In PAS, Team Falcons’ back-to-back 1st place in Finals 1 and Finals 2 is proof that the superstar squad has fully adapted to the 2026 competitive environment, and we’re excited to see if they can continue their momentum into PGS and PGC on the global stage later this year.As always, regional PUBG Esports play has a large bearing on which teams can qualify to PGC, through those all-important PGC Points. A number of teams have already qualified directly to PGC through strong regional performances at PEC and PAS.Qualified to PGC (through PGC Points earned at regional play):EMEAAmericasVirtus.proTeam FalconsNatus VincereTeam Liquid09GodlikeTwisted MindsCircle NineOf course, many of the teams listed above also have a strong possibility of also qualifying to PGC through a good performance at the upcoming PUBG Global Series Circuit 4. If, for example, Viruts.pro puts on a strong performance at the next PGS (and qualifies as a result), their original PGC qualification slot that they earned at PEC will then be redistributed to the next best team from their region’s PGC Points leaderboard. With Virtus.pro and Team Falcons already high in the PGS points table, this means we have a strong chance of seeing Acend Club and Copenhagen Wolves (and others) possibly qualify to PGC 2026.As PGC 2026 takes place in Türkiye, there will also be a host region seed for a Turkish team. Stay tuned for more details!If you want to find out who ultimately qualifies to PGC 2026, be sure to tune in to the upcoming PUBG Global Series tournaments!PUBG Global Series 10: October 14 - 18PUBG Global Series 11: October 22 - 25PUBG Global Series 12: October 29 - November 1PUBG Global Championship 2026: December 1 - 13 ]]></description>

<title>Google officially reveals AI game&amp;creation platform, Playground</title>

<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23175</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Google has announced a new browser-based game-creation platform, Playground, that will allow users to generate their own simple AI games using text prompts, with a more complex version powered by Unity on the way. Playground is launching today in an “experimental” phase, according to Google. Users can “direct the game just by typing what you want to build,” it says, then test their creation offline or share it with friends via a link. “Game creation has historically been limited to a very select group with technical experience,” it says. “Playground lowers the barriers to creation, so bringing game ideas to life can now be as easy as describing it through a few prompts — no coding experience required.” Read More... ]]></description>

<title>New stealth RPG takes The Blood of Dawnwalker&amp;apos;s controversial time limit and goes full Majora&amp;apos;s Mask</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23176</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23176</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The Blood of Dawnwalker managed to stir up quite a controversy with its time restrictions, but that&#039;s not scaring indie developers away from instilling some good ol&#039; FOMO in players – in fact, some are leaning well into it. If you&#039;re old enough to remember Majora&#039;s Mask, one of the best Zelda games of all time, then you&#039;re also (un)lucky enough to have grappled with its three-day cycle. It&#039;s stressful, sure, but it&#039;s what makes the game as fun and unique as it is – if you ask me, anyway. I&#039;m not the only one who thinks so, apparently, as Studio Zubio is cooking up a stealth RPG with a similar feature… Bunderkin: The Ocular Eclipse. You can back it on Kickstarter right now, where it&#039;s already racked up nearly four times its initial $44,444 goal with nearly $175,000 raised so far. So, what is Bunderkin? Well, like I said, it finds players &quot;trapped in a three-day time loop&quot; as the ever-unpopular Beedee the Bunderdragon (yes, you read that right). Beedee is desperate to get into the Ocular Eclipse festival, which just so happens to be a &quot;once-in-a-lifetime&quot; event.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/FxE0PXJIinU There&#039;s a catch, though: a villain is plotting to freeze said eclipse, but Beedee discovers a mysterious device that transports him back in time so that he can do it all again and stop the chaotic foe. It sounds fun as heck, honestly, with Studio Zubio noting it&#039;s &quot;inspired by stealth classics like Metal Gear Solid and Tom Clancy&#039;s Splinter Cell&quot; – and, of course, Majora&#039;s Mask – with puzzles, stealth mechanics, and secrets galore. There&#039;s no release date set for Bunderkin: The Ocular Eclipse just yet, but its Steam page is live, so you can wishlist it if you&#039;re just as intrigued as I am. It&#039;s entering the limelight at an interesting time for sure, considering how The Blood of Dawnwalker&#039;s time restriction was so controversial that its biggest mod reworks it altogether and Baldur&#039;s Gate 3 publishing director Michael &quot;Cromwelp&quot; Douse had to step in to defend it. Regardless, I&#039;m not afraid of a little fear of missing out myself, and Studio Zubio appears to be conjurin&#039; up quite the fun little gem. Fingers crossed its launch window drops soon so I can relive my Majora&#039;s Mask days once again. Searching for some new games to play? Browse through our roundup of the most exciting upcoming indie games set to arrive this year and beyond. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>The HyperX Cloud III is a superb wired headset, and a no&amp;brainer purchase when discounts are inbound</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23177</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23177</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  You&#039;ve likely seen the HyperX Cloud III before.  It&#039;s a common sight to behold if you&#039;ve ever spent time hunting through the best gaming headsets on Amazon, which is what led me to finally test it out for myself. I wanted to ensure anyone who didn&#039;t take the time to scroll through the second page of Amazon&#039;s search results was still getting their money&#039;s worth. Just because a headset turns up on page one doesn&#039;t necessarily mean it&#039;s worth your time and attention, but that does happen to be the case here.Its fantastic sound, comfortable fit, and multi-platform prowess make it a worthwhile pickup, and its White-Pink colorway (which I tested below) is perfectly suited for cute and cozy setups. Though if you are debating adding this to your online shopping basket, just make sure it&#039;s sporting one of its many, many discounts before you buy. Key specs Price $99.99 / £101.99 Acoustic design Over ear, circumaural, closed back. Connection Wired (USB-C/USB-A) Drivers Dynamic, 53mm with Neodymium magnets Frequency response 10Hz-21kHz Microphone Electret condenser microphone ANC N/A Controls Mic mute button, volume dial Battery N/A Weight 308g (320g with microphone) Compatibility PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac, Mobile.Design  (Image credit: Future/Rosalie Newcombe) HyperX lives by the &quot;if it&#039;s not broke, don&#039;t fix it&quot; philosophy when it comes to the look of its headsets, and the Cloud III is no different. If it weren&#039;t for the fact that I opted for the White-Pink version for review, this headset would look identical to its wireless counterpart, the HyperX Cloud 3 Wireless. Which is great, as just because you&#039;re choosing the less feature-full version of the two doesn&#039;t mean that you deserve the least best-looking of the pair. As this is pretty much the same headset, it shares the same over-ear form factor, lightly memory foam-padded leather headband, and metal yokes. With this &#039;White-Pink&#039; version, the yokes are a cool-toned metallic pink rather than red, and the cups, fabric-coated cord, and headband are all draped in the same bright white paint job.While this design has been used before, that doesn&#039;t stop me from being a fan. The brand&#039;s decision to ensure the yokes, &#039;HyperX&#039; logos, the interior of the earcups, and the tiny speckles of the accompanying cord are all pink with this model in particular has won me over. Especially as it blends in well with my cute and cozy work-in-progress PC gaming setup.Features  (Image credit: Future/Rosalie Newcombe) Wired headsets like the HyperX Cloud II aren&#039;t bursting at the seams with features, but there&#039;s still a bit more to this pair than meets the eye. It&#039;s equipped with angled 53mm drivers, with a 10Hz-21kHz sound frequency, and is compatible with a wide range of gaming platforms thanks to the brand&#039;s unique cabling.Instead of a basic USB-C wired connection. HyperX has included a 3.5mm cable with an extension that provides the option of USB-C. The headset also includes a USB-A adapter (which is attached by default) to open it up to more platforms, including that of the PS5. While this may not seem exciting to some, I&#039;ve tested alternatives in a similar price range, like that of the Asus TUF Gaming H1 GEN II Hatsune Miku Edition wired headset, which was limited to USB-A only, so this is a refreshing sight to behold. Sure, you could always just buy an adapter, but I&#039;m always going to prefer it when brands provide everything you need from the get-go. Additionally, the wired Cloud III features a detachable Electret condenser microphone and onboard controls, including a mic mute button and volume dial.Performance With the high price of the Cloud III, I was expecting a lot, and I was not disappointed. While not as densely packed as I prefer, the memory foam padding on the underside of the headband made the pair incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods of time, which was handy now that Fire Emblem Fortune&#039;s Weave is taking up all my free time.As the latest game in the series has got me glued to my Switch 2, I chose to test the pair&#039;s audio with the handheld first and foremost, and it was an easy feat. Thanks to the cabling choice, I was able to pop off the USB-A adapter and stick the headset directly into the console&#039;s top USB-C port. Both the game&#039;s audio and dialogue absolutely shone through the white-added cups, which was exactly what a game that relies on amping you up through triumphant battles needed. Talking of the sound, I was a big fan of what the pair was able to muster, no matter if I was glued to Fire Emblem or playing on my PC, PS5, and even my Steam Deck. The extended frequency meant that there was more room for low-end sounds to pull through, which lent itself to games and music alike. I&#039;ve recently been on a bit of a Smashing Pumpkins kick, and Billy&#039;s guitar has never sounded clearer or crunchier - which is exactly what you want when it comes to a Siamese Dream album playthrough. Throughout my testing, the cord did become a bi ]]></description>

<title>Capcom enlists Ron Perlman for Dragon&amp;apos;s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, hopefully pays him more than he got for Fallout 1</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23178</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23178</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Fallout and Hellboy star Ron Perlman is teaming up with Capcom again to introduce you to Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen. Despite being best known for his myriad film and TV roles, Perlman is a pretty prolific voice actor, especially in games. His most famous contribution is to the Fallout series, where he serves as the narrator in multiple games, as well as the TV anchor that announces the bombs dropping in Fallout 4. Notably, he had no clue the series would be a success, saying that he was caught off guard when he heard there was a sequel coming, as he recalls working on the first entry as &quot;I did a couple of lines, and, you know, got my $40 and my sandwich and went home.&quot; And while never appearing in a Capcom game, Perlman did appear in 2020&#039;s Monster Hunter film, wearing an extremely anime-looking wig that did not suit his demeanor in the slightest. Capcom is clearly happy with that collab, as it has announced it&#039;ll be teaming up with Perlman to introduce players to Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.  Perlman will be narrating a &quot;new video sharing a brief glimpse at what awaits in Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen,&quot; with Perlman lending &quot;his voice to guide us through Norgan and beyond,&quot; with the video set to debut later today (October 7, 2026 at 3pm PT | 6pm ET | 11pm BST) ahead of its launch on October 9, 2026.  While this may seem like a somewhat random collab, it actually mirrors a video Capcom released at the launch of the base game, with John Wick and Kung Fu Panda star Ian McShane serving as narrator. And unless I missed something, McShane does not feature as a voice actor in the game, and I don&#039;t believe Perlman is pegged to be part of the Dark Arisen cast either. But let&#039;s hope he got more than $40 and a sandwich to do this video at least. Dragon&#039;s Dogma 2 update finally gives the RPG the performance boost it desperately needed, and it&#039;s so good that it&#039;s even lowered the PC system requirements [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Star Wars Zero Company studio is &amp;quot;returning&amp;quot; furloughed developers after &amp;quot;incredible response&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23170</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23170</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Star Wars Zero Company developer Bit Reactor is actively &quot;returning more of our team back to work&quot; after furloughing staff right before launch due to apparent budget issues.  In a post on Bluesky, Bit Reactor CEO Greg Foertsch confirms the great de-furloughing began this week, which it calls &quot;an important step in our continued support for Zero Company.&quot; The statement confirms much of what was reported around the launch. &quot;Having to ask team members to step away after we navigated unexpected business developments out of our control and so close to launch was an incredibly difficult decision, but one that was necessary to help us eventually bring as many people back as possible,&quot; Foertsch continues. It&#039;s unclear how many, if any, developers may be laid off at the end of this return process. Whereas layoffs result in immediate job cuts, a furlough is essentially a period of unpaid absence or reduced hours which is generally enacted to lower costs and overhead during a period of some kind of financial hardship.  &quot;This team means a tremendous amount to me, and I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together,&quot; Foertsch adds. &quot;Thank you to our fans for the incredible response to the game and for supporting us along this journey. We look forward to sharing more updates regarding Bit Reactor and Zero Company soon.&quot;  Star Wars Zero Company saw some of the strongest reviews of any Star Wars game in recent years. We called it a solid strategy RPG after getting our feet wet, and it&#039;s sitting comfortably at a score of 84 on Metacritic. On Steam, Zero Company has &quot;very positive&quot; reviews. It was an utter shame to see the team behind it struggling even after shipping a great game, and it&#039;s good to see them getting back on their feet.  I&#039;ve learned to love Star Wars Zero Company&#039;s permadeath – by letting the new hires die.  [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Nier: Automata mastermind Yoko Taro says he&amp;apos;s still making games for &amp;quot;dementia prevention&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23173</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23173</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  By now, Yoko Taro&#039;s become one of the more prolific game developers around, and not just because of the distinctive moon mask he always wears during public appearances. Nier: Automata is a genuine worldwide sensation, a spin-off from his Drakengard series, and during a recent conversation he mentioned he&#039;s really done all he set out to do in the medium. The RPG creator sat down to speak with fellow dev Keisuke Okabe, who directed EnderLilies, for the opening ceremony of The Tenth Mosaic in late September. During their conversation, covered by 4Gamer and translated by Automaton, Yoko Taro got into his current slate of projects. Well, he mentioned there&#039;s not a huge amount happening in that area, by choice, because he&#039;s quite satisfied with his achievements at the minute. The first Drakengard was a distillation of more or less everything he wanted to do in the medium, he revealed, and everything that&#039;s come since is really just him using up his &quot;remaining days.&quot;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/JS2vp0n17BE He openly admits he&#039;s not keen on maintaining a strict work schedule, and all; going well, he hopes to step away from making games on a full-time basis. Apparently, he&#039;s doing good enough financially that stepping away is increasingly viable. &quot;Therefore, speaking from just an emotional standpoint - it&#039;s over,&quot; he says. &quot;I’m done working, I don’t want to do it anymore.&quot; I imagine many of us would love the power to say the same. Good on him, honestly. Since the early 2000s, we&#039;ve had a trilogy of Drakengard games, and a pair of Nier installments. The second, Automata, completely set the industry alight, pushing the franchise onto the global stage and making Yoko Taro a celebrated creative mind. Perhaps the right move is to step aside while you&#039;re ahead and fade into the sunset. That said, he does mention that there&#039;s another motivation to keep working to some extent: avoid the onset of dementia, because data suggests the risk of developing the condition goes up if you retire early. &quot;Even now, there are a lot of frustrating things concerning my work,&quot; he says, &quot;but when they do happen, I overcome them by telling myself: This is good for preventing dementia.&quot; As good a source of motivation as any. And if it helps us get a third Nier game eventually, all the better. For Nier Automata, Yoko Taro just made the RPG he wanted to and &quot;tried to stay hidden from Square Enix as much as possible&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Order Of The Sinking Star (Nintendo Switch 2) Review</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23157</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23157</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  When I got to preview Order of the Sinking Star, I was pretty impressed with what I got to experience. Really dedicated puzzle games are few and far between, and I’m always interested when one has a good idea behind it. And despite being a fairly controversial figure, Johnathon Blow does still have some pedigree in the game industry that a puzzle game with his involvement is sure to be good—the double-edged sword of hinging your game on the name of one creator.  While my preview time with Order of the Sinking Star was brief enough to make me initially optimistic, the more time I spent with it, the more that optimism began to fade. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad game, and it does have a lot of creative ideas. My issue with it is, those ideas are wrapped around a game that’s so incredibly one-note that it starts to feel more like a routine than a genuine exercise in creative thinking.  Order of the Sinking Star’s story is one wrapped in mystery. Players begin the game as... Read more ]]></description>

However, a new report disputes that.

<title>Overwatch devs know removing Sombra&amp;apos;s Hack ability will &amp;quot;upset&amp;quot; players</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23153</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23153</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  As notorious Overwatch hero Sombra makes her support class debut in Season 5: A Grim Doctrine, Blizzard is well aware that the former DPS losing her Hack ability is going to leave some players &quot;upset,&quot; but insists the change is &quot;better for the game.&quot; Sombra&#039;s big support rework was announced last month, and basically comes in an attempt to make her less annoying for both her foes and allies. As you&#039;d imagine, the rework means big changes to her abilities and perks. She&#039;s now got a new ability called Cyberspace, for example, replacing her damage-over-time Virus ability with a new projectile that weakens foes and heals allies.  Perhaps most notably, though, Sombra&#039;s Hack ability has been replaced by Hotfix. Rather than being able to mess with opponents by temporarily removing their abilities from them, it instead can be used to heal allies over time.  It&#039;s certainly a choice considering that Sombra&#039;s whole shtick is that she&#039;s a hacker – especially after game director Aaron Keller previously said that the rework wouldn&#039;t change &quot;her identity&quot; – and the devs are obviously aware that not everyone is a fan.  &quot;We&#039;ve seen a lot of reception about the Sombra rework, and one of the things people have talked about is the hacker losing hack,&quot; senior hero designer Leo Robles Gonzalez admits in a new dev livestream. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/uO2Sf69jFN8 Robles Gonzalez reveals that Blizzard &quot;tried a lot of different versions of Sombra where she still could hack enemies,&quot; but regardless, even with her lower damage output &quot;there was always that feeling of Sombra appearing out of nowhere, turning off my abilities, and then outputting damage that I can&#039;t really do anything about.&quot; Now though, the devs are hoping that they&#039;ve successfully produced &quot;the last rework&quot; of the notorious hero, adds hero designer Scott Kennedy, and while &quot;obviously players are going to be upset that they lost this hacking enemies version,&quot; the team reckons that &quot;this overall is going to be better for the game and players will really learn to love and enjoy her.&quot; It&#039;s not that her hacking abilities are totally missing, either. Hotfix is still able to hack health packs and deployable objects like Torbjörn&#039;s turrets and Ashe&#039;s B.O.B., and human enemies can be hacked when she uses her ult, EMP.  Even so, these changes are definitely going to take some getting used to for the veteran Sombra players. As a support main, though, I&#039;m excited to give the new version of the not-quite-as-hacky hacker a go.  Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred and Overwatch&#039;s resurgence reportedly drove Blizzard to its &quot;first back-to-back years of growth&quot; in almost 10 years. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>It’s fixed! №118</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23142</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23142</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Today, we’ve rounded up and will be covering some of the fixes and improvements that we’ve made to the game today and over the past weeks. If you’d like to catch up on every fixed bug, then be sure to check out the changelog section on our website. If you’ve found a bug that you’d like to report, you can do so on our community bug reporting platform. Refinement of the bomber damage modelThe update to the bomber damage model significantly changed gameplay across many Battle Ratings and received a positive reception. However, the updated aircraft were sustaining too little damage. Today, we have implemented comprehensive adjustments to the damage model to ensure that bombers are not excessively survivable. First of all, we revised the aircraft skin settings so that HE shell fragments and small-caliber machine-gun fire should better penetrate bomber skins and damage internal modules. Previously, even large high-explosive shells often failed to deal sufficient damage when hitting vulnerable areas. Another issue occurred as well: even high-speed collisions between bombers and fighters often failed to cause damage. We’ve made a number of adjustments: damage from aircraft collisions is being increased. Ramming will once again become an effective last resort! These changes were made based on your feedback, and we hope you enjoy them. Be sure to try them out and share your thoughts! Updates to the Southeastern City location[carousel][/carousel][carousel][/carousel][carousel][/carousel]Southeastern City has undergone significant revisions. The most important change was the switch to height-map technology, similar to the recent update for the Afghanistan map, which allows for a more detailed landscape. Specific terrain elements were also improved: the map now features detailed sandy and rocky shores, the mountains have more textured surfaces, and forests and villages have been added to the northern section, which previously consisted only of open fields. Vegetation has also been improved; existing models were replaced with new ones and the ground cover is now denser, with trees appearing on mountain slopes as well. The finishing touches included reworking the water color and adjusting weather settings to make the map look more vibrant than ever before. We’ll also launch testing for Nuclear Escalation on this map! Nuclear Escalation FixesSpeaking of Nuclear Escalation! Alongside expanding the list of locations, we’ve fixed a number of issues affecting the logic of mission, buildings, and ground vehicles. Previously, damage to ground vehicles would often effectively disable them without destroying them completely; vehicles would fail to resume movement after running gear repairs or crew replacement. Now, however, after a vehicle is damaged, the crew will recover, get the vehicle back in working order, and continue on to their destination. However, there were two other bugs that prevented the convoys from successfully reaching their destination. Not only could convoys block each other and get stuck, but a convoy might not even have left the armored vehicle depot at all, since another convoy at the garrison (the destination) was considered active, which prevented the dispatch of a new one. These bugs have now been fixed. Missile FixesDue to errors, air-to-air missiles could either deal very little damage or no damage at all. For example, because of an error in the fuse’s logic, air-to-air missiles and surface-to-air missiles failed to damage rapidly approaching enemy missiles, detonating slightly before the point of closest approach. And due to an error in the logic governing the missile’s explosion itself, in some cases they failed to inflict damage on other aircraft from direct hits and explosions. That’s not allCheck out the full list of fixes and improvements in the update notes below! Here’s some more: weapon icons on the tactical map now appear on a layer below player markers and no longer overlap them; wheeled vehicles no longer shake when they lose all the wheels on one side; aircraft carriers now move from the edge of the map to its center on all Air Battles maps where they appear, and the view in VR no longer jitters when the game is launched using the DirectX 11 graphics API.Previous Updates:Update 2.59.0.49Update 2.59.0.46Update 2.59.0.43Update 2.59.0.38Today&#039;s Update 2.59.0.54AircraftBomber Damage Model: Collision damage between aircraft has been increased. Previously collisions resulted in insufficient damage of wings and tail and didn’t lead to their separation. HE shell fragments and small-caliber machine-gun fire now penetrate the skin of the aircraft better and deal damage to the internal modules.F-4E AUP Phantom II — the targeting pod camera settings and AGM-65D/G missiles seekers camera settings have been corrected. (Report). Locations and MissionsSoutheastern City  — the location has been reworked. It has been switched to height-map technology, allowing for greater overall landscape detail.

<title>The Expanse Is Officially Returning In 2027 With A Brand&amp;New Story</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23136</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23136</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  James S.A. Corey (aka Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) created a truly original sci-fi adventure with The Expanse that was built around a not-so-unrealistic future vision of our own society. It&#039;s one that was adapted into a cult favorite television series with such an enthusiastic following that they managed to save it from certain doom. After Syfy canceled The Expanse following its third season, the series found a new home on Prime Video after a major revival campaign, where it continued for another three seasons before reaching its conclusion in 2022. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Star Trek&#039;s 60-year run has seen some of the most recognizable and distinct characters in science fiction history. Spock helped define the franchise from its earliest days, while later generations introduced equally beloved figures like Data, Geordi La Forge, Worf, Kathryn Janeway, and Seven of Nine. Each brought something different to Star Trek, helping the franchise evolve across decades without losing the ideals at its core. ]]></description>

I was shocked to see a post today from Duncan Fyfe, author of the incredible &quot;Oral History of Tim Curry’s Escape to the One Place Uncorrupted by Capitalism,&quot; saying that he was lead writer on Star Wars Galactic Racer alongside Chris Remo, one of the hosts of the best gaming podcast ever (RIP Idle Thumbs). Fyfe also wrote the wonderfully funny history podcast Something True. Those are some smart guys. I wonder which typed &quot;poodoo&quot; in a Google Doc first?.. Read more. ]]></description>

<title>Aion 2&amp;apos;s Character Creator Is Going Viral for Its Bust Size Options, or Lack Thereof</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23133</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23133</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Aion 2, a free-to-play MMO action RPG, is going viral for its character creation settings — more specifically, for how busty you can make your female character. Some players sink hours into character creators before they start an RPG. They’re almost a game all on their own, and players have been known to spend inordinate amounts of time creating all manner of monstrosities using the various sliders available to them. (Check out the absolutely bonkers creations players made when Street Fighter 6 launched, for example.) However, Aion 2’s character creator is providing customization of a different type, and it has sparked quite a debate within the broader gaming community. If you’re on gaming twitter at all, you’ve probably seen gameplay footage of someone using Aion 2’s character creator — or, to put it bluntly, abusing the bust size slider to increase the size of their character’s bosom. You know, for science. This viral clip has stirred up a conversation around the types of bodies we see in video games. Some players have noticed that there doesn’t seem to be an option to decrease your character’s breast size from the default setting, leading to claims of ‘small chest erasure’ and the game’s developers catering only to a specific type of preference. “I&#039;m sorry, but if you really ‘love boobs,’ you&#039;d be okay with small boobs existing too, but [the] minimum size is [a] C cup?” one user wrote in a viral quote-tweet on X.  おっぱい好きな気持ちは日本も海外も同じ！胸の大きさも形もいじれる“胸スライダー細かすぎ”キャラクリに注目集まる―基本無料MMO『AION 2』ついに正式サービス開始でhttps://t.co/P5Hfekkfyx細かすぎるキャラクリに注目。自由自在な胸クリエイト。さらに「お腹の突出具合」まで設定可能です。 https://t.co/1uIaqM3qAK— ⚡Game*Spark⚡ (@gamespark) October 6, 2026  “I&#039;m irritated that things like this imply only big boobs are desirable because that can give young women body image issues,” they continued in a follow-up post. Even Japanese players have noticed the disparity, with one writing, “The minimum isn&#039;t minimum at all! Even the minimum is too damn big!” “The minimum is way too big, isn’t it?” another asked. However, the broader reaction to this particular viral clip from Aion 2’s character creator has been humor; both English-speaking and Japanese players have found the bust customization feature quite funny, sparking endless jokes about how they’ll need a few hours before they “actually start the game.” Whatever the case may be, it’s at least brought some eyes to Aion 2. Released on October 5 from South Korean developers NC, the game is set in a conflict between two warring nations. Thus far, it’s received mixed reviews on Steam, though it’s still early days and MMOs often take time for players to get settled in.  ]]></description>

<title>Inside the Trove of Terror</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23127</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23127</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Some time ago, a time now none of us can quite recall, we began to set our minds on matters of the monstrous. Our work has always concerned itself with the manufacture of frightening things, so there was no reason at that time for alarm.Until we began to fill a new treasure chest with item sets themed around eldritch and otherworldly designs.As each horrific creation took more defined shape, unsettling yet tantalizing inspirations took hold of us. Fantastical and Immortal glamours coalesced around each and every set; they grew more spellbinding, a vision that would remain, stuck fast in the mind&#039;s eye. Thoughts of monsters birthed thoughts of even more monstrous monsters. Our minds became gateways for greater abominations still, our hands became not our own.Soon our collection of new item sets numbered fifteen, eldritch abominations from the realm of nightmare all. We knew each thing was hideous. Not one of us could look away. Not one of us was content to stop there.To master horrors, we required greater horrors... We required ARCANA.Our first attempt summoned the haunting shape of a Drow Ranger Arcana long thought lost to the flow of time. By some trick of the mind, she can look as she once did or assume a grave-stalking new form.Our appetites remained unsatisfied.Our second attempt unleashed something none of us had ever seen, something that hungrily emerged from a bloodstained sea: the all-new Maw of the Megalodon Arcana for the creature called Tidehunter, arriving with a new model, a host of custom animations, effects, taunts, voice lines, and dragging a familiar-looking corpse that serves as one part security blanket and one part snack. A whisper in the darkness, instructing, teasing: &quot;Should one master this Arcana&#039;s secrets, one would surely unlock all three of its shark-toothed designs.&quot;This Trove is a doorway to things we cannot explain, let alone understand. The more of these treasures that you open, the more your own minds shine out like beacons to things lurking beyond the limits of reason. Open enough treasures and you&#039;re guaranteed to attract the gaze of an all-seeing new Tormentor. Open a number more and you&#039;ll surely summon the face of eldritch terror itself, manifesting as an incomprehensible new design for Roshan.We must part now with one final revelation. Take it as a warning if you wish. We didn&#039;t make this treasure... It made itself. We thought we were creating something, but we were not. We were merely the conduit, unknowingly letting something into our world from the great dark beyond: The Trove of Terror — overflowing with a mind-bending number of Immortal item sets, one new and one returning Arcana, and brand-new Tormentor and Roshan appearances — available now.If you dare, all you need to do is launch Dota to learn more. ]]></description>

But as they say in golf, you&#039;ve got to play it as it lies, and in November 2012 Keith stumbled upon a body lying motionless just off the green of the otherwise picturesque, forested course in northern Colorado.

<title>Xbox Helix is seemingly pulling a Steam Deck, CEO discusses devices for players &amp;quot;on the go&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23114</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23114</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma reiterated plans for Xbox Project Helix to encompass a &quot;family of devices&quot; at a recent company town hall meeting, describing a new generation with a console at its center but also with options for players &quot;on the go,&quot; seemingly in the vein of portable systems like Valve&#039;s Steam Deck or Nintendo&#039;s Switch 2.  In a meeting transcript shared with Windows Central, Sharma says, &quot;We are moving to a family of devices for Gen-10,&quot; the hardware generation which will cover the PS6 and whatever Xbox Helix ends up being. We&#039;re currently in Gen 9, but as ever these generations remain loosely defined.  &quot;There is not one device that fits all. We will certainly have a great console first, but we also know that many players will be on the go,&quot; she continues, repeating assertions that Xbox consoles remain load-bearing for the brand despite concerns about its shift to a publisher-lite role.  In separate comments that notably follow years of multiplatform efforts which have now ended in seismic layoffs and closures across Xbox studios, Sharma admits the brand doesn&#039;t have &quot;the right&quot; to aim beyond console if its core user base, its &quot;most valuable players,&quot; can&#039;t be treated &quot;the right way.&quot; Returning to hardware, Sharma adds, &quot;There are some things that we are the best in the world to manufacture, and there are other things that [we will] partner on.&quot; This reads as her tipping her hat to the third-party hardware manufacturers who will actually make the implied Xbox handheld. &quot;So, we will be sharing more about that as our plans develop. The operating system is starting to look really good. We&#039;re very excited about this.&quot; Much of this echoes discussion around the ROG Xbox Ally, which increasingly looks like Xbox dipping its toes into the portable PC market before putting more resources behind an entire generation of bespoke hardware.  Details remain scarce, but this portable Helix device sounds closer to a Steam Deck or Steam Machine arrangement – an operating system in a box which will also play PC games – than something like the Nintendo Switch.  It&#039;s also unclear how this device will, as Sharma has repeatedly urged, tackle the affordability crisis facing new consoles.  Xbox CEO says working with PlayStation is on the table even after Hideo Kojima&#039;s Metal Gear successor Physint swaps publishers: &quot;Competition and collaboration can coexist.&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Sega Community Relations Director Speaks Out After Sonic Discord Goes Wild</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23112</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23112</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Sega created a Discord server just for Sonic fans — and it wasn’t long until it descended into chaos, forcing its moderators to take sweeping action in an admittedly unexpected, if somewhat amusing, turn of events. On October 5, Sonic rolled out an official Discord server for fans of the blue blur to mix and mingle. As with most large servers, the Sonic team preemptively laid out rules for its community to follow (which, hilariously, included a bit about AI-generated art involving an Eggman dating simulator), but it wasn’t long before those rules were flagrantly flaunted. Mere hours after launching, things got so hectic that the moderators removed most users’ ability to chat, locking it behind a members-only role and requiring fans to boost the server — and while order was eventually restored and these restrictions were mostly lifted, the ordeal left a lasting impression on the internet. According to firsthand reports of fans who were in the server at the time of its launch, there was some pretty wild fanart getting shared, on top of other rule-breaking behavior that needs no description. (We imagine you get the gist.) Now that the dust has settled, one of the minds behind creating this server has spoken out. Aaron Webber, the director of strategy, studio, and community relations at Sega of Japan, gave curious onlookers a glimpse behind the curtain at what actually happened and how the moderation team managed to handle such a massive influx of fans all at once. In a tweet thread, Webber disagreed with framing the ordeal as chaotic, saying that, while there was certainly a lot of action that needed to be taken straight away, it wasn’t nearly as bad as some fans were making it out to be. “The very start was pretty wild, and this is normal when over 30,000 people arrive and all excitedly want to talk. The mods have been doing a heroic job keeping the server clean during that window, and since. Big props to all of them,” he began. “You may see cherry-picked screens of bad actors trying to cause havoc, but these were all swiftly removed and banned. One of the key ways the server is kept clean so quickly is through the automatic filters, which are very strict right now,” he continued. Webber went on to say that the moderation team is working to unban those wrongly affected and is currently fine-tuning its ban system. He also assured fans that they will soon be able to type in the chat once spam restrictions have been reworked.  The very start *was* pretty wild, and this is normal when over 30,000 people arrive and all excitedly want to talk. The mods have been doing a heroic job keeping the server clean during that window, and since. Big props to all of them.— Aaron Webber (@RubyEclipse) October 6, 2026  The humorous Discord debacle has drawn quite a few eyes to the Sonic fanbase, who are eagerly waiting for more news on the next Sonic movie. The fourth film is slated to release on March 19, 2027. All we currently know about it is that Amy Rose and Metal Sonic are supposed to be involved, but anything beyond that has been shrouded in mystery. But hey, at least the fans can chat about it in the official Discord together now! In the meantime, you can check out our interview with Sonic Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka, who explained the creative workaround he found that would let the blue blur shoot a gun in Fortnite.  ]]></description>

<title>Upgrade Your Fortnite Festival Setup With Prime Day Deals on PDP and CRKD Guitar Controllers</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23108</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23108</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Rock Band was the foundation for some of my favorite childhood memories. I know for a lot of people that source was Guitar Hero, but the point stands: the game-ified version of rocking out is peak.  If you somehow weren’t already aware, Harmonix was acquired by Epic Games back in 2021. Now, Rock Band lives on in the form of Fortnite Festival.  Whether you’re already deep in the Fortnite world or have been aching for a chance to relive your Rock Band (sorry, Guitar Hero) glory days, I highly recommend picking up a guitar controller. All of the best ones are all on sale at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days today.CRKD and PDP Riffmaster Guitar Controllers on Sale for Prime Big Deal Days Note: Most of these discounts are exclusive to Prime members. You can sign up for that here. [/url]  Fortnite Festival is technically playable with a mouse and keyboard, but that&#039;s not nearly as immersive as shredding on what feels like a real instrument. Thankfully, companies like CRKD and Turtle Beach released a steady stream of high quality controllers that are specifically compatible with the musical Fortnite mode as well as Rock Band 4.  The main downside to this new generation of controllers is the cost, making Prime deals particularly welcome.  If you’re just looking for the best possible deal, I’d go with the classic PDP Riffmaster, which offers dedicated models for Xbox, Switch 2, and PS5. The console variants have ranging compatibility with PC, but all of them happen to be 40% off. The discounted $89.99 price tag brings the controller just $10 shy of its lowest price of all time.  IGN got the chance to review the PDP Riffmaster, saying it’s a “terrific bit of kit with excellent button feel, extremely impressive battery life, and some very sensible quality-of-life tweaks.” It’s a close match for the original Rock Band Stratocaster, though with a quieter strum bar. The collapsible neck also offers some portability for taking the band on the road.  We had equally glowing praise for the CRKD Gibson Les Paul controllers. These offer a little more customization through the CRKD app and the option of a lower latency wired connection, ideal for the Clone Hero fanatics. Another benefit with CRKD is more color options, with discounts ranging up to 30% off across PS5, Xbox, and multiplatform variants.  Reddit users have entire threads dedicated to discussions over which controller is better, which I’d recommend perusing for more hands-on insight. What Is Fortnite Festival?  If you aren’t already familiar with Fortnite Festival, expect a couple key differences from the classic console era of musical games.  First, the game features online multiplayer with a massive player base. Second, the song list is never set in stone.  Every Fortnite Festival season includes its own mix of free songs, while players can also buy songs to keep permanently. Yep, we’re talking microtransactions, with the game mode even getting its own Battle Pass. The current season is headlined by Lil Tecca, with previous seasons headlined by the likes of Hatsune Miku, Metallica, and Chappell Roan.  Check out more Prime Day gaming deals from Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. [/url]  ]]></description>

<title>Gears of War: E&amp;Day is Available Now</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23098</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23098</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Today marks the worldwide launch of Gears of War: E-Day, now available on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, Game Pass and Steam. One of XBOX’s most iconic sagas returns to where it all began, taking players back to the opening hours of Emergence Day and the catastrophic event that changed the world of Sera forever.Emergence Day is a defining moment for the Gears of War universe – the catastrophic event changed the world of Sera forever, but the story of that fateful night has never been fully told, until now.Gears of War: E-Day transports us back to the opening hours of the Locust invasion, where an unsuspecting world is ruthlessly plunged into chaos as monsters erupt from underground. Across three harrowing days and nights, Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago and their fierce new squad mates fight desperately to survive the onslaught consuming the city of Kalona, while uncovering the true scale of a threat unlike anything they – or humanity – has ever faced.From the moment the prologue opens, Gears of War: E-Day showcases a masterclass in action-horror. This is not the Locust enemy you’ve fought before. They’re equally cunning as they are violent, and frankly, you should be terrified to face them. If this is your first deployment, or you’re coming out of retirement to fight the war ahead, we’ve got you covered. Before you step out onto the streets of Kalona, here are a few things every Gear should know.Learn When to Push Forward, When to Hold Your Ground, and When to Get Out of the F**ckin’ WayGears of War is famously a cover-based shooter, and you’ll rely on it to stay alive as you push through the Locust. Keep your head down and dip from cover-to-cover – and avoid walking out into the open unless you’re rushing an enemy with a melee attack. Even a handful of Drones can deal massive damage while you’re exposed, which can be trouble for both you and the squadmate that may have to come and revive you. Sometimes, the best course of action is to hold patiently and pick off enemies as they come, and there’s no shame in that strategy.Sometimes, you’ll just need to haul ass and stay as mobile as you can, which I quickly learned during an early fight with a Brumak wielding a horrible chain weapon. There’s no peace to be found in cover for that situation – fan out, keep it distracted, and pray that it doesn’t decide to charge you while your gun is jammed.Know Your LoadoutEach weapon you’ll find in E-Day is deeply situational, which makes for a great tactical experience. The Chainsaw Lancer is a great all-rounder, offering close-to-mid range firepower and a big ol’ (upgradeable) mag to chew through. The Gnasher is a stellar shotgun, fantastic for devastating point-blank damage. The Longshot Sniper, one of my personal favorites, pops a slick, long-range slug into unsuspecting foes from a great distance. Not only is that incredibly satisfying each time, but it lets you get a stack of damage into a tankier enemy – like a Boomer, before it gets close to you. There are caches dotted around Kalona that let you switch up your loadout, too, so don’t feel like you’re locked into a specific style of play forever. Mix up your strategy, swap roles with your friends, but above all – experiment!Melee is a Gear’s Best FriendI know I said this is a cover-based shooter, but sometimes you’ll need to resort to more personal measures. Before E-Day even lets you look at a gun, it hands out a crash course in melee – one of the most useful, life-saving abilities for a Gear. Spend some time getting to grips with how it works when wielding a metal pipe and the Snub pistol – figure out the weight of the swing, and how it feels to hit enemies in front, and more importantly, behind you. Later, melee becomes even more fun with the Chainsaw Lancer, and you’ll feel extra confident with it once you’ve got the basics of backhanding down.Blind Shooting is Back, and Remains EffectiveAs soon as you pop your head up to aim a shot, you’re a giant bullet magnet, effectively inviting every weapon-wielder on the map to pop you like a balloon. Fortunately, Gears can shoot blind from behind cover, which is a superb way to dish out additional damage to something getting too close for comfort. If you don’t have the health to rush out for a melee takedown, or you need a few seconds of recovery time, blind fire from cover is a clutch move to get the job done.Look Out For Side Missions, And Their RewardsWhile E-Day‘s campaign is primarily linear, Kalona has large pockets of open space with multiple pathways towards the next objective, as well as side paths that may lead to side missions. These are smaller, optional objectives that let you support other squads, help civilians, and otherwise contribute to saving the city. Not only do they offer additional insight into the wider story, you’ll also get a nice reward for doing it, often a weapon mod.Audio Chime Means CollectablesWhile you’re exploring, keep an ear open for a sharp chime whenever you enter a new area of the city –  ]]></description>

<title>Elder Scrolls Online is prioritizing combat less for content that has you &amp;quot;looking in every nook&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23101</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23101</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The Elder Scrolls Online is undergoing a bit of a &quot;renaissance&quot; this year and beyond, as the MMO&#039;s developers put it – and much of that involves introducing new types of content that break the game&#039;s old formula, so to speak. 2026 has not been easy for ZeniMax Online Studios with Microsoft&#039;s plan to cut over 3,200 employees at Xbox coming into action. Heck, Bethesda&#039;s union representatives reported a loss of &quot;dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers&quot; – and the chaos is ongoing. Despite it all, however, game director Nick Giacomini confirmed that the MMO is &quot;here to stay&quot; with extra help from Bethesda… and boy, is it. I was able to sit down with the director and other leads, including associate design director Jason Barnes, to discuss what direction The Elder Scrolls Online is taking now, in fact – and as difficult as it&#039;s been for the developers, it&#039;s an exciting time for the community with regard to all of the new content coming nonetheless. There&#039;s the season system, of course, and the ever-puzzling Nowhere Vault, Rumors, and High Seas of Tamriel event. It all marks a break away from the game&#039;s usual mold – one that involves yearly expansions and hardcore content (think Veteran difficulty and the like) – in honor of experiences that far more flavors of player might enjoy. As Barnes puts it, experiences that &quot;let players figure it out&quot; for themselves… no combat skill required. Plus, &quot;people love secrets,&quot; he says. &quot;They love uncovering things.&quot; And, there&#039;s plenty more to uncover now.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/5OLTJ5Tv5VI ZeniMax saw success with content like the Nowhere Vault during playtests, even, as Barnes tells me engagement &quot;was extremely high because everyone was looking in every nook and cranny and trying to figure out &quot;what does this mean&quot; and &quot;does it have a secret to it?&quot; The devs didn&#039;t want to only cater to &quot;the more causal player,&quot; though – don&#039;t get it wrong. This new format is for everyone, casual or hardcore. They wanted to create &quot;something that everyone could invest in, like, everyone could hop in.&quot; And, although &quot;the combat&#039;s not extremely hard,&quot; it&#039;s a different kind of tricky. &quot;There&#039;s still enough that you&#039;re feeling engaged,&quot; as Barnes describes. I get it, honestly. I do love a good trial and Veteran-level dungeon here and there myself, but the Nowhere Vault is downright cool. It, and the other new content, offers a new way to engage with the MMO. It&#039;s only the beginning, too. Between the more puzzle-oriented features and bigger events like the High Seas of Tamriel, it&#039;s all just a &quot;foundation,&quot; according to the dev. ZeniMax plans to &quot;layer on to it as much as we want,&quot; and the creators &quot;already have some ideas floating around.&quot; He can&#039;t tell me what they are, but I&#039;m admittedly already pondering what might be next for The Elder Scrolls Online. Between that and the mysterious return to Skyrim… I can&#039;t wait. This shift, &quot;renaissance&quot; or whatever you&#039;d like to call it, in content brings back immersive Morrowind-style gameplay (I mean, come on, Rumors) and a fresh take on engagement – and it may just be precisely what the MMO needs. Searching for other new games to look forward to? Read through everything we know about The Elder Scrolls 6 before it finally arrives. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Fable creator was &amp;quot;a little bit worried&amp;quot; about the upcoming reboot at first, but now he &amp;quot;can&amp;apos;t wait&amp;quot;</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Fable creator Peter Molyneux might not be working on Playground Games&#039; upcoming reboot, but his separation from the RPG means that he&#039;s excited to experience it for the first time &quot;as a gamer.&quot; Speaking to PCGamesN in a new interview, Molyneux – the former founder and CEO of Lionhead Studios and now the founder and creative director at 22Cans – is asked for his thoughts on Fable as it gets closer and closer to its release next year.  &quot;It makes me immensely proud that a game that I loved to be involved with is continuing; that&#039;s my first, overwhelming emotion,&quot; Molyneux says, adding, &quot;I really have loved watching how their game has evolved.&quot; He admits that the RPG&#039;s first proper trailer – that is, the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase one starring British comedian Richard Ayoade – had him feeling &quot;a little bit worried about it, it seemed a little too fairytale-ish.&quot; Since then though, he&#039;s been &quot;very encouraged&quot; by Playground Games&#039; latest gameplay footage. &quot;They&#039;re keeping a lot of what made Fable different and special,&quot; Molyneux says. &quot;Still curious about the alignment system, and how that visually affects the world, but I&#039;m going to be first in the line to play it; I can assure you of that.&quot;  As a developer, Molyneux says that he&#039;ll inevitably &quot;end up playing whichever game I&#039;m making hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times.&quot; But heading into the new Fable, he&#039;s about to have a very different experience.  &quot;In one way, this version of Fable will be the first Fable I&#039;ve really played as a gamer,&quot; he notes. &quot;And that&#039;s going to be absolutely fascinating to play. I can&#039;t wait.&quot;  Molyneux has previously expressed how &quot;emotional&quot; he felt when he saw Fable&#039;s trailer, to the point &quot;I just felt myself tearing up&quot; because &quot;this thing that we created, it&#039;s going to live, it&#039;s going to carry on.&quot; At the time, he noted how &quot;there was a slight antiseptic feel about it,&quot; but that the devs had &quot;months and months to build in that character and almost that dirtiness that you want in the world.&quot; Clearly, a few months on from this, he&#039;s a lot more satisfied with how it&#039;s looking. &quot;Fable&#039;s original combat has a legacy of being quite approachable,&quot; so the RPG&#039;s devs don&#039;t want to change that with the new game.

<title>Star Wars Zero Company Gets Its First Big Discount at Amazon for Prime Day</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23095</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23095</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Star Wars Zero Company, one of our favorite games of the year so far, has just received its first big discount since its launch in late August.  As part of the retailer&#039;s Prime Big Deal Days sale, which runs from October 6-7, Amazon has slashed 20% off both PS5 and Xbox Series X physical copies of the game, dropping them down to $47.97 and $47.99, respectively. That saves you $12 (or just over, if you opt for the PS5 copy) compared to paying full price, which isn&#039;t bad at all. Considering this marks a new all-time low price for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions at the retailer, it&#039;s a great time to grab them. Plus, they&#039;re not marked as Early Prime Deals, either, so you don&#039;t have to be a Prime member to save on them. If this XCOM-style strategy game set in a galaxy far, far away has been on your fall wishlist, it&#039;s one we&#039;d highly recommend grabbing for your gaming library. Writer Dan Stapleton wrote in IGN&#039;s 9/10 review that it&#039;s &quot;an excellent tactical game that does a fantastic job of slathering on the same cinematic look and feel we saw in Respawn&#039;s Star Wars Jedi games, incorporating strong characters and a storyline that&#039;s refreshingly centered on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain.&quot; Amazon isn&#039;t the only place that has it discounted, either. As part of its Techtober Sale, Best Buy has also knocked it down to $47.99 across PS5 and Xbox Series X. So, if you&#039;d prefer to scoop it up there, that&#039;s another option worth checking out. The Techtober Sale is stacked with even more game deals to look at alongside Star Wars Zero Company, too. If you&#039;re in the shopping mood, it&#039;s worth having a look at what&#039;s available while the sale is still live until October 11.  Of course, Prime Big Deal Days is also worth keeping an eye on tomorrow for more video game deals. This sale only runs until October 7, though, so you have a shorter amount of time to pick up the discounted titles that catch your eye.More Prime Day Gaming Deals   ]]></description>

<title>RuneScape devs apologize for plan to reset and divide the MMO with Reignited servers</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23092</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23092</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  RuneScape developer Jagex is reconsidering its plans after one of the biggest announcements at its recent RuneFest event sparked widespread outrage among the game&#039;s player base. RuneScape Reignited, a proposed plan to fork the MMO into new worlds with fresh economies and leaderboards, is going back to the drawing board.  &quot;We are re-evaluating RuneScape Reignited,&quot; a fresh Jagex blog post begins. &quot;Let’s not mince words here. We have made you, as existing players, feel like you are no longer our focus. That’s entirely on us and of our own making, and it’s only right we open by saying sorry.&quot; RuneScape Reignited would, players rightly feared, split RuneScape (not Old School RuneScape, which is its own game) into two different versions: Reignited and legacy, or Veteran, worlds.  If Veteran players, who&#039;ve survived years of dire monetization, community exodus, and stringing along from Jagex, wanted to engage with the Reignited worlds being pushed as a relaunch for the game, they&#039;d have to start over completely.  &quot;Treasure Hunter is gone,&quot; entreats the Reignited trailer, promising new players a game world never ravaged by horrible pay-to-win slop but leaving current players to twiddle their thumbs.  The idea of saving this long-struggling MMO by soft-resetting everyone, in a game explicitly about long-term account progression, was not received well.  In its post, Jagex reiterates that &quot;an option to play with a fresh economy and progression is a big draw for new and returning players. We’ve seen its potential play out with the reach of the announcement and intent to play comments across social media, which have far exceeded our initial expectations.&quot; (I do have to wonder how those sentiments would convert to real Reignited players.) However, the studio admits, &quot;We missed our mark on making Veterans a clearer part of this idea. Not just in the execution, but how we revere your accomplishments, champion your legacy and ensure you benefit from every player who comes through the door.&quot; Jagex singles out some of the key concerns players have shared in response to the Reignited news. (In a classic form of protest, players also shared a lot of screenshots of canceled memberships.) The list reads:&quot;As a Veteran character, you will no longer matter. New players are seen to be more important than existing players.Veteran worlds will atrophy if the playerbase shifts to Reignited worlds.By splitting the community, what you believe is an already small playerbase will be overly fragmented.That Veterans are considered tainted for being part of a previous era of RuneScape through no fault of your own.The restrictions placed on how Veterans and Reignited characters can interact with one another do not feel good.Untradeable items and cosmetics that are locked to your Veteran account feel cut offReignited is pressuring you to restart your character to keep playing and remain relevant, whether you want to or not.Needing to pay for a new character subscription does not feel good.&quot;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dWx-6WlUXJE That first point about sums it up: Reignited is great news for new or extremely lapsed RuneScape players, but it&#039;s actively bad for active players who stand only to lose newcomers who could have joined their worlds instead, and who are staring down the barrel of a totally new account.  The cost and benefits of a RuneScape membership have also been scrutinized more seriously in recent years, with Jagex now charging premium prices relative to other MMOs but distinctly not putting multiple characters under that subscription as those other MMOs do.  Without committing to specifics, Jagex says &quot;we&#039;re exploring a heavy set of revisions to Reignited based on your feedback,&quot; from &quot;more ways for the progress of a Veteran to remain intact and be represented meaningfully&quot; to &quot;ensuring that a hard split in community does not persist.&quot; How the studio would thread this needle and still go through with the core pitch of Reignited is a real conundrum.  Additionally, Jagex says it is &quot;exploring possibilities&quot; around membership, and the need to yet again pay for a separate membership sub.  &quot;It all ties together, but we ultimately want to remove friction that our veteran players may have engaging with or co-existing alongside Reignited,&quot; it claims. &quot;This is hugely important to us and is something we will keep coming back to.&quot; RuneScape devs take down trailer, apologize to players, and blame &quot;partner&quot; for gen AI after promising not to use gen AI.

<title>HOI IV Dev Corner | Strikes!</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hello there! Your feedback has been much appreciated, both with civil wars and old Canada content. So I come here once again to ask you what do you think about…. Strikes! (As in the labour history, workers striking for better rights)I’m particularly curious about what you feel about the generic strikes (low stability) vs country specific strikes (like Australia’s communist paths)  What do you think about the generic strike events?  What times do you think country specific strikes have been done A. Well?B. Poorly?And why?And finally some specific questions.  When do you, as a player, want to strike? And what do you think the current system(s) lack in this regard?  Would you want strikes to be overhauled (probably not for this expansion, if at all!) into a more complex system? And if so, what would you like to see? What do you think strikes in HoI4 get right, and what does it miss? /pdx_berthier ]]></description>

<title>Exclusive: Frosthaven digital reveals the PC board game&amp;apos;s frosty final character</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23074</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23074</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  After a year and change as a Steam early access title, Frosthaven Digital gets its full 1.0 release on October 15. The developers at Snapshot Games have spent that time steadily adding more features, classes, and missions to the game, and when the big day comes, the game should finally be a content-complete match for the utterly colossal board game it&#039;s based on. In anticipation, I spoke to lead producer Hristo Petkov, and original board game designer Isaac Childres, to learn more about what&#039;s emerging from the ice.

<title>State of Decay studio boss says he was ‘irresponsibly transparent’ to staff to make layoffs easier to take</title>

<description><![CDATA[  The studio head at Undead Labs says he was “irresponsibly” transparent to staff during Xbox’s ‘reset’ process, to prepare them for the potential of layoffs. In June, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed that Microsoft was in the process of ‘resetting’ its games business, which has since resulted in significant job losses and the closure, release or restructuring of multiple studios. It was then reported that State of Decay 3 developer Undead Labs was one of the studios facing closure, unless a buyer could be found. Read More... ]]></description>

<title>STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ is Out Now!</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23062</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23062</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ &quot;The golden age of the Galactic League begins now!&quot; Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ is out now worldwide on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.  Experience high-speed high-stakes racing in a galaxy far, far away. In this runs-based reinvention of racing, you&#039;ll get the chance to pilot a range of speeders and podracers as you make your way through the Galactic League, an unsanctioned racing circuit born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars™ galaxy. Play as Shade in the singleplayer campaign as you navigate your way through the League with the help of trusty engineer and loyal friend Hibi on your way to take down ruthless league champion Kestar Bool. Jump into Arcade and Scenario events to test your skills and speed in a wide variety of situations. Take on pilots from around the world in online multiplayer with quick races or full runs-based races that culminate in a thrilling showdown on Derven Acos. On your journey through the Galactic League, you&#039;ll have four different repulsorcraft to choose from: landspeeders, speeder bikes, and skim speeders, which are raced against each other, and podracers, which are raced separately due to their intensely high speed and significantly larger size. Each vehicle offers new playstyles and ways to race.  Landspeeders offer great acceleration and top speed with enough resilience to be the tanks of the track, drifting around corners with ease. Speeder bikes are fast, agile but fragile. They have a unique Kinetic Burst capability, storing the energy from braking into a corner and then releasing it in burst of acceleration. Skim speeders are a new, elegant vehicle introduced to the Star Wars galaxy in Star Wars: Galactic Racer for the first time. They represent a balance between landspeeders and speeder bikes: a vehicle able to describe flowing lines with a Knife Edge capability for pilots to master. Last but certainly not least, the iconic podracers. The ultimate racing form capable of reaching breakneck speeds that leave zero room for error. Star Wars: Galactic Racer was developed by Fuse Games and published by Secret Mode, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. Fuse Games&#039; co-founder and CEO Matt Webster had this to say about the launch: &quot;Three and a half years ago, Fuse Games was a handful of people with a big idea scrawled on a whiteboard. Today we launch our debut game,  set in a galaxy far, far away. Building an experience at this scale as a small independent studio meant finding a different way to work, and different people to work with, at every step. We thank every development partner who helped get us here, to the team at Secret Mode, and above all to Lucasfilm Games, for trusting a small team with such a legendary galaxy.&quot; Watch the official launch trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer here. Will you be starting your career as an elite racing pilot in the Galactic League today?

<title>The best speeder type to use in Star Wars Galactic Racer</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23063</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23063</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The best Star Wars Galactic Racer speeder type is largely down to personal preference as Landspeeders, Speeder Bikes, and Skim Speeders all feel quite different to pilot. Each have their own strengths, weaknesses, and unique drifting manoeuvres that have a substantial impact on how you take corners, so it&#039;s important to know how each one works and how best to spend your Tuning Points on permanent upgrades so that you can get the most out of them. Below you&#039;ll find a breakdown all three speeder types in Galactic Racer and how they stack up against each other.Best speeder type in Star Wars Galactic Racer  (Image credit: Secret Mode) Here&#039;s how I rank the three speeders in Star Wars Galactic Racer, so that you can gauge which one might be right for you:Landspeeder: Large, stable, relatively robust, and handles corners well enough, especially with its standard Drift manoeuvre. It&#039;s the easiest and most intuitive of all the repulsorcraft to fly and can see you all the way through to the end with the right upgrades. Spread your permanent upgrades across all six speeder stats fairly evenly for a balanced but adaptable starting build for each tour, though you may want to put more points into Cornering, Afterburners, and Drift for great handling.Speeder Bike: Small, fragile, and twitchy but with good acceleration, bikes are the nippiest of the speeders. Their turning circle isn&#039;t great, though Kinetic Burst helps you perform tighter turns and provides a burst of speed when you straighten up. They can be difficult to control but master using Kinetic Burst and you can race ahead of the competition. To mitigate some of the drawbacks of Speeder Bikes and make them more forgiving, I recommend putting upgrade points into Cornering and Resilience, but you could also play to its strengths and focus on Afterburners and Drift.Skim Speeder: Maintains high speeds with smooth and wide cornering which can be tricky on certain tracks, though turning on a Knife Edge allows for sharper cornering. I found the Skim Speeder to be the most difficult to repulorcraft type to pilot as it requires you to take wider racing lines to maintain speed. That takes some getting used to, but it doesn&#039;t make the speeder bad by any means. Put permanent upgrade points into Drift and Cornering to play to its strengths and a put at least a couple into Afterburners to help with its acceleration and boost. It&#039;s important to bear in mind that there is an element of personal preference when it comes to choosing the best speeder type too, so while I like the default Landspeeder the most, I still highly recommend that you unlock the Speeder Bike and Skim Speeder to give them a shot.How to unlock the Speeder Bike and Skim Speeder in Star Wars Galactic Racer  (Image credit: Secret Mode) To unlock the Speeder Bike and Skim Speeder, you just need to earn sufficient Tuning Points and then spend them on the speeder type you want to unlock on the Vehicle Select screen at the start of a Tour:Speeder Bike = 10 Tuning Points to unlockSkim Speeder = 20 Tuning Points to unlockEarn Tuning Points by finishing races:Finish a Race in any position to get 1 Tuning PointFinish an Eliminator in the top 3 to get 4 Tuning Points So, make sure you pick plenty of Races and Eliminators during your Tours to quickly rack up Tuning Points. Then you&#039;ll be able to unlock the rest of the speeders and pick your favorite at the start of every Tour. Tuning Points are also used to permanently upgrade the stats of your speeders, so be sure to level them up between Tours all the way to Level 15 too for permanent improvements. © GamesRadar+.

<description><![CDATA[  A strategy game called Eco Inc. Save the Earth plans to become a paid title on Steam soon, giving fans a short window to add it to their libraries while it remains free. Some free Steam games start as F2P and later switch to a paid model, but they usually let players who claimed them for free keep playing. The same is now happening with Eco Inc. Save the Earth, and anyone who claims it before the deadline will keep it permanently at no cost. ]]></description>

<title>System Shock 2 is now free on Epic, but thankfully we have far better controllers to play it with these days</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23065</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23065</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The Epic Games Store has been offering two free games per week for a while now, and alongside Korean narrative adventure game Buried Stars, you can currently claim the System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster for absolutely nothing. This is, as the title suggests, a reworked version of the classic RPG which birthed the BioShock franchise, and I&#039;ve already set it up to download. One of the upgrades on the System Shock 2 remaster is the introduction of controller support, so if you own a PC controller, you&#039;ll have more ways to play. Amazon&#039;s Prime Day retro deals are taking a trip down memory lane this week, with 40% off the controller you&#039;d likely have used to play back in the day. I&#039;d swerve hard left on that one, though, there are plenty of the best retro controllers that will give you a far better experience.  At the top is the GuliKit Elves 2 Pro. While it doesn&#039;t offer advanced features like 8K polling, customization or modularity, it has all the buttons you&#039;d hope for including face keys and triggers. You might need to indulge in some key mapping if you want the Elves 2 Pro to work with System Shock 2, but it&#039;s designed with a range of compatibility options in mind. While they&#039;re not discounted currently, there are several other retro gaming controllers which we recommend, and you can find some here:   Gulikit Elves 2 Pro       Read the full review ProsFantastic Sega-inspired designGreat build qualityTactile face buttonsOne of the best d-pads aroundHeaps of on-board featuresLong battery lifeTravel-friendly designConsOld school flat ergonomicsBluetooth onlyYou&#039;ll need additonal adapters for retro consolesdigital-only triggers   8BitDo M30       Read the full review ProsAffordable price pointCompatible with original Mega Drive / GenesisBluetooth and 2.4GHz USB version available tooExcellent build quality and authentic feelSolid connectivity with minimal latencyConsEach version only includes either Sega or USB dongleBluetooth version requires separate receivers for retro consoles   Retro-Bit Sega Saturn Pro       Read the full review ProsCompatible with original Sega Saturn and USB devices2.4Ghz Saturn and USB dongles includedAuthentic six-button layoutThumbsticks work with 3D Saturn gamesConsSlightly rattly build qualityDual thumb sticks compromise original designSticks feel cramped at bottom   8BitDo N64 Controller        Read the full review ProsFantastic build qualityAuthentic N64 layoutSwitch Pro controller levels of comfortCompatible with Switch 2, Android, and PCSensible price pointConsYou&#039;ll need a wireless adapter to use it with the original N64 Should you buy a retro gaming controller? You can play the System Shock 2 remaster without a controller like the GuliKit. If you have a mouse and a keyboard, you&#039;re sorted, and will in fact be playing the game as it was originally created (it was PC-only, with no controller support). But some prefer a controller for gaming, and it is, after all, one of the perks of playing the remastered edition. Reportedly, segments of the tutorial were rewritten to fit with the controller support. Many praised how well the remaster adapts the original game to work with controllers. so it&#039;s well worth picking one up to enjoy the free title. Most retro controllers are designed around older consoles, as you can probably tell from their design. The GuliKit is more of a jack of all trades though, so it works on PC as well as Switch and phones, and its retro appeal comes more in its design. Of course, you shouldn&#039;t buy a retro controller just for System Shock 2. But if you think you&#039;ll use it on more titles — and don&#039;t need an advanced one for intensive online gaming — this deal is a great opportunity to buy one. We&#039;re also rounding up all the best retro handhelds and the best retro consoles on the market right now.  [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Game of Thrones&amp;apos; Night King and Daenerys Targaryen Will Officially Return in 2027</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23057</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23057</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  It is absolutely baffling that the Game of Thrones series ended back in 2019, if only because, after nearly a decade, its prevalence in the cultural zeitgeist has seemingly resisted the temptation to evaporate, much like its contemporaries that have long since been forgotten. Game of Thrones, either through the success of its numerous spin-offs or the simple desire for excellently written fantasy epics, has persisted and will likely continue to do so for many, many years to come.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  My Hero Academia fans were, naturally, devastated when the original manga run ended in 2024, and even more anguished when its legendary anime adaptation concluded two years later, in early 2026. Since then, they&#039;ve had to make do with the not-so-surprisingly great spin-offs that have done an admirable job of filling the iconic series&#039; admittedly rather large shoes. However, as great as the spin-off shows and stories are, they&#039;re not enough for some, with many missing the familiar faces of My Hero Academia&#039;s initial run. ]]></description>

<title>Final Fantasy 7 Revelation ditching PS5 exclusivity was &amp;quot;inevitable,&amp;quot; Naoki Hamaguchi says</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23055</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23055</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Final Fantasy 7 Revelation marks a significant first for the remake series: it&#039;ll be the only entry available across multiple platforms on launch day. Remake and Rebirth both released as PlayStation exclusives, and took years to hit PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, but Revelation will be available for all players on day one. The change in approach, director Naoki Hamaguchi says, is simply a response to the reality of today&#039;s gaming landscape. The multiplatform release is &quot;an inevitable outcome of the changing environment surrounding today&#039;s players,&quot; as Hamaguchi explains in Edge Magazine issue #429. Now, players &quot;are no longer tied to a single piece of hardware,&quot; and enjoy their games on TVs, desktops, and handheld devices alike. &quot;I believe that what will be important in future triple-A game development is not how high-performance an environment we can use,&quot; Hamaguchi says, &quot;but rather how widely we can deliver the core of the same experience across different environments.&quot; In other words, game devs are now incentivized to make sure their games scale across a wide range of platforms, from the highest-end PCs to the most lowly handhelds. Square Enix announced its intention to &quot;aggressively&quot; pursue a &quot;multiplatform strategy&quot; back in 2024. The publisher had never truly been exclusive to one particular platform, though its allegiance shifts between Nintendo and Sony in the &#039;90s are the stuff of game history legend. Nevertheless, almost all of its games have been released across all major platforms in the past few years – an unequivocal win for all but the most hardened of console warriors. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation lead says he pushed Square Enix for a physical version of the JRPG, but physical media will eventually be &quot;essentially disc-less.&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Nintendo’s Holiday Preview Banks on Nostalgia &amp;amp; It Works</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23056</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23056</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Millennial gamers have been eating well with video games lately, and none know this better than Nintendo players. Remakes are nothing new, but Nintendo has spent 2026 remaking, refreshing, or putting new spins on long-running franchises, and at the Nintendo Holiday Preview in New York City, I was honestly surprised I didn’t notice earlier. When you pack all of their top games into one room, it really puts their success on display, and what I noticed more than anything was that gamers respond to what they know, and Nintendo has taken notice. At the preview event, I was able to play a variety of games across different genres and skill levels. The event showcased the Nintendo Switch 2 both docked and in handheld mode, showing off that Nintendo isn’t just the system you start with; it’s the system you can grow with. On the nostalgic front, titles like Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Minecraft, Star Fox, Pikmin, and various The Legend of Zelda titles available on Nintendo Switch Online...

<title>Ubisoft Boss Says Watch Dogs Is &amp;apos;Important&amp;apos; to Company&amp;apos;s Future, But Don&amp;apos;t Expect Any New Entries Anytime Soon</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23052</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23052</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Don&#039;t hold your breath for a new Watch Dogs game anytime soon. As reported by Game File, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked by an investor about the future of the Watch Dogs franchise. The CEO noted that Ubisoft considers the IP &quot;to be an important brand for the future&quot; but neglected to explain how. Game File&#039;s Stephen Totilo stated that Guillemot suggested that there are no Watch Dogs games in active development at the moment, which suggests Ubisoft may still be figuring out where to take the series from here. There is a Watch Dogs movie on the horizon, but there&#039;s no word on when it will be released. The film wrapped production two years ago and had reshoots last year, but there hasn&#039;t been any sort of meaningful promotion for the film to date. As of right now, it doesn&#039;t even have a release date, which makes it even more of a mystery. Watch Dogs made its debut back in 2014, though it was initially meant to launch simultaneously with the PS4 in November 2013. Ubisoft hyped it up as a direct competitor to Grand Theft Auto 5, which released in September 2013. Unfortunately, many felt it was unable to reach some of its ambitions, but it still managed to make a dent in the open-world crime genre. Two years later, Ubisoft launched a much more impressive sequel set in San Francisco, but failed to keep the momentum going with its third installment. Watch Dogs: Legion was released in 2020, also boasting ambitious ideas, such as the ability to control any NPC in the world. Unfortunately, the game received generally mixed reception from fans. Since then, there have been a lot of question marks around the future of the franchise. It seems Ubisoft wants to do more with Watch Dogs, but it may be trying to figure out how it can separate itself from a game like Grand Theft Auto 6, which is set to shake up the genre in November. There may be more Watch Dogs games one day, but don&#039;t expect them within the next few years.  ]]></description>

<title>Baldur&amp;apos;s Gate 3 and Elden Ring are &amp;quot;North Stars&amp;quot; for Tencent as it eyes next Larian or FromSoftware</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23037</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23037</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  By building out studios and staying focused on genres, Tencent hopes to create the next Larian or FromSoftware, developers capable of releasing year-defining hits like Baldur&#039;s Gate 3 or Elden Ring respectively. That&#039;s according to Yong-yi Zhu, Tencent Games VP and head of operations, strategy, and compliance, who spoke to The Game Business about the Chinese company&#039;s plans both globally and domestically.  Tencent, which holds substantial investments in numerous studios around the world, now including a new subsidiary of Assassin&#039;s Creed maker Ubisoft, sees those exact mega-RPGs as &quot;North Stars&quot; for game development, Zhu says.  Rather than looking at games through a regional lens, Zhu says, &quot;For us, it’s more about chasing high-quality talent and people that are bringing unique visions, have a very specific vision. We love to work with developers that are trying to hone their craft. The studios we cite as our North Stars, like Larian, FromSoftware, they&#039;ve been in a particular genre for a long time and iterating on that genre.&quot; Mechanically and stylistically, Baldur&#039;s Gate 3 was much closer to Larian&#039;s Divinity series than the original Baldur&#039;s Gate RPGs from BioWare. The studio&#039;s fingerprints were all over the IP, even if it was D&amp;D at its core – not that that&#039;s a bad thing. Elden Ring, meanwhile, was essentially Dark Souls 4, 5, and 6 in a trenchcoat – a sprawling game combining everything FromSoftware had learned and tested in the action RPGs that led up to that point. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Q2yZny0s20o Zhu says Tencent wants to find developers who can do the same. It&#039;s important to note that the company also owns minority but significant shares of Larian as well as FromSoftware owner Kadokawa. Last year, Tencent increased its ownership in Kadokawa further, years after it and Sony increased their ownership of FromSoftware itself.  &quot;For us, we try to do the same thing with our internal studios,&quot; Zhu continues. &quot;We want to work with you if you believe one day you can be the category leader in this particular genre. That could be today, two games from now, or three games from now, as long as we see that progress. That is the long-term commitment.&quot; Zhu uses these same franchises as examples of how studio given long-term support can produce generational hits. &quot;You look at those two partnerships specifically, it wasn&#039;t an overnight success,&quot; he says. &quot;It was multiple Divinities into Baldur&#039;s Gate. It was Demon&#039;s Souls into Dark Souls into Bloodborne and then finally into Elden Ring, which was so big. We do have a long-game approach. That&#039;s one thing that I think is very unique to Tencent and suits us well in working with a number of different developers for a long time to come.&quot;  After Baldur&#039;s Gate 3&#039;s explosive success, Larian has split with Wizards of the Coast and returned to Divinity. FromSoftware used some its Elden Ring bucks on stranger games like Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods, but also seems to have another single-player epic in the chamber.  A key distinction with Tencent, as Zhu notes, is that &quot;a lot of our games are evergreen live service titles.&quot; He reckons this evergreen release schedule, as opposed to the huge dips and peaks that come when you release a new premium game every few years, provide some insulation against the waves of the industry at large.  Another way to minimize risk, he says, is to scale down development teams during &quot;the riskier part of the project,&quot; which is generally early in concepting and pre-production. Increasingly, we see pushes for smaller game development teams, with many such teams finding outsized success every year.  Tencent hasn&#039;t been able to avoid the contraction in the games industry. Game dev layoffs look particularly devastating when you isolate them to the United States, but it&#039;s also tumultuous across the world, with Tencent reportedly backing out of multiple studio deals this year and closing TiMi Montreal, a studio helmed by Assassin&#039;s Creed: Black Flag director Ashraf Ismail, before it released a game.  We won&#039;t get &quot;the next FromSoftware&quot; or &quot;another Remedy or Larian&quot; at this rate, warns veteran dev: &quot;We have to change that.&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered (Nintendo Switch 2) Review</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23032</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23032</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  I’ve always found myself returning to the Northern Kingdoms to replay The Witcher 3 for one reason or another, mostly on PlayStation 5 or PC, so when the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered landed, I approached it with equal parts excitement and suspicion.  The original Switch release was a miracle of engineering that also happened to look like Velen had been smeared with Vaseline. It was impressive that it ran at all, but it was hard to recommend over literally any other platform. Coming back to it on Switch 2 with the remaster, I’m happy to report that this is the version that finally makes the handheld pitch make sense, even if it’s not without some strange, occasionally hilarious problems. The most obvious improvement is how much better it all looks and feels. The muddy textures and blurry foliage that defined the original port are mostly gone; just overlook the odd shaving scene early on, replaced by something that holds together at a...

<title>This JRPG sounded great, but then I learned how it was made, and now it sounds impossible</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23033</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23033</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Lie of Caelum: Spirit recently bagged more than $100,000 in extra Kickstarter funds on the back of stellar art and music, and the promise of a &quot;PSX-style sci-fi mecha JRPG&quot; that was &quot;inspired by Xenogears and Phantasy Star.&quot; This all sounds well and good, but my gast wasn&#039;t truly flabbered until I learned that this 3D mech game was made in RPG Maker. I don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve ever played an RPG Maker game, but they don&#039;t normally look like this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cMq2gy_u3Os Already listed on Steam, Lie of Caelum: Spirit was made with RPG Maker MZ, the 2020 version of the storied game maker. Exactly how it was made, I couldn&#039;t tell you. I&#039;m right alongside this Twitter user reacting to the news: &quot;3D mech combat in RPG maker????? God&#039;s strongest programmer.&quot; &quot;I want to see your face when I tell you this was made in RPG Maker MZ,&quot; Lie of Caelium: Spirit developer Classi5ed says in an older tweet showing off 3D open-world exploration both in and out of a mech suit, with seamless transitioning between those two forms. A video on Kickstarter shows off even faster mech movement in a racing minigame. There&#039;s also a card game and fishing minigame, making this a true JRPG.  RPG Maker MZ games tend to be flatter, simpler, and more static than this. &quot;Making an RPG is as easy as putting in the stats for your heroes and villains, drawing up some maps, and using a simple eventing system to drive the story to its finale!&quot; the engine&#039;s Steam page reads. And that&#039;s pretty accurate. For most users, the appeal of RPG Maker is the ability to dive in and start making a real, playable game without needing the sort of technical skill normally associated with game dev. Lie of Caelum: Spirit is showing us what it can do if you also have that technical skill.  This detail is barely touched on in the Kickstarter campaign for the game, which asked for $34,000 and drew over $147,000. &quot;60+ hours of main campaign. 20+ hours of meaningful side content. Multiple arcs that get deeper into the main cast&#039;s identities, philosophy, and conspiracies surrounding Caelum,&quot; it promises.  All of this is actually an evolved version of Lie of Caelum, a smaller, free game released on Steam by Classi5ed in 2022. It&#039;s primitive in comparison, but you can see the early seeds of what Lie of Caelum: Spirit would become: an extremely promising RPG that grabbed me in under a minute.  Lie of Caelum: Spirit is currently only listed on Steam, but it smashed a Kickstarter stretch goal for Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox ports. It&#039;s also apparently coming to GOG.  A remake of a 20-year-old cult JRPG is now the best-rated game of 2026, pushing aside Resident Evil Requiem, Pokemon Pokopia, and more. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Infinity Ward Details Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4&amp;apos;s Extraction Mode, DMZ</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23034</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23034</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4&#039;s ambitious new extraction mode, DMZ, has received a massive deep dive from Infinity Ward. DMZ was initially introduced in 2022&#039;s Modern Warfare II, and now, with the rise in popularity of extraction shooters, it is coming back in a bigger way. The mode is expected to be a major part of Modern Warfare 4&#039;s offerings, with its own 70-level progression system, lucrative rewards, and world building/lore. Additionally, there will be a forward operating base for players to hang out in between matches. Here, players can practice at a firing range to test their loadouts, craft items based on loot they&#039;ve found in the world, gain intel and track different missions, bosses, and unique challenges for their next deployment, and more. Speaking in a new behind-the-scenes video, Infinity Ward co-studio head Jack O&#039;Hara stated that fans made it clear that there weren&#039;t high enough stakes in the first iteration of DMZ, so they&#039;ve worked to change that. For starters, your time in DMZ is defined by your operator. This is a character that you build and level up, but if they die, it will cost you to bring them back. There are also lootable items that can be permanently lost if the player dies or drops them. These items can be used at a 3D printer to craft things like armor plates, consumables, gear, and seemingly killstreaks or AI-controlled fire support, based on a menu seen in some gameplay. The team behind DMZ also described it as an &quot;action extraction shooter.&quot; Infinity Ward wants players to feel like there is constant danger both through AI combatants, bosses, and other players, so you won&#039;t spend a ton of time wandering around opening boxes with minimal friction. Infinity Ward laid out a plethora of different enemy types in a blog post, noting that there will be drones, helicopter and vehicle patrols, tanks, and tougher enemies.  Different parts of the map will have different threat levels, and those levels can rise based on the player&#039;s actions. If you&#039;re running around causing a bunch of noise, it will create more attention and lead to enemies searching for you. However, if you play stealtihly with silenced weapons, melee takedowns, and exercise caution, you can avoid extreme conflict. Additionally, the more players explore, the more opportunities there will be to uncover loot and secrets in the game&#039;s world.  Infinity Ward has also promised extensive support for DMZ post-launch, including changes to the map, dynamic weather that can vary per season, and much more. It sounds like a big focus for the team and it should be a really cool change for Call of Duty. Hopefully it sticks and isn&#039;t dropped next year, but that will likely depend on if players show up to support it. DMZ will be available at launch when Modern Warfare 4 releases on October 23. Unlike MWII&#039;s version, it will not be free-to-play.  ]]></description>

<title>Convoy Up with Your Friends in Horizon Meets</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23009</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23009</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Car lovers unite; the latest Forza Horizon 6 update is here – Horizon Meets. This series is all about the places you and your friends gather to Convoy up, and there’s no better way to highlight that than through our latest collaboration with 7-Eleven, who are renowned for their world-famous car meetups.  This update introduces new 7-Eleven content including a limited-time 7-Eleven Evolving World featuring a themed Car Meet and an EventLab Prop Pack. There are also 3 new-to-Horizon cars: the 2025 BMW M4 CS, 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327, and 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH. In addition, there are 2 Car Horns, a new Treasure Car to discover, 200 new levels in Horizon Play with additional cars in Spec Racing, and more! The question that remains – what is your favorite meeting spot to park up at in Horizon Japan? It could be at the official Car and Drag Meets, or the Drift Attack and Time Attack Circuits. Perhaps you prefer to keep it low-key at one of the many car parks and gas stations located across the open world? Combined with serpentine Touge routes and all the points of interest – including Shibuya Crossing in the heart of Tokyo City – there are endless places to organize your next Car Meet with your friends.  Now, with that important question left to ponder, let’s jump into the details of everything that awaits you over the next four weeks! Game Improvements and Release Notes   Forza Horizon 6&#039;s latest series update will be available for download starting on Monday, October 5 at 5:00PM UTC on Steam, ahead of the Horizon Meets Festival Playlist starting on Thursday, October 8 at 2:30PM UTC.  Here&#039;s a preview of the fixes and improvements coming your way in this update based on the feedback and reports you&#039;ve been sharing with our teams on the Forza Feedback Portal: Fixed an issue where players could keep accumulating Drift Attack score by fast traveling and/or using rewinds. Added audio for the Drive Mode animations to the 2021 Mercedes-AMG Mercedes-AMG ONE, 2013 McLaren P1, 2017 Ford GT, and 2025 McLaren W1. Fixed an issue where taking a photo of Temple of Nachi Falls did not give points in the Photography section of the Collection Journal. Fixed an issue where Tire Scrub audio was not being played when moving the wheels while the car was stationary. In addition to the improvements outlined above, this update also includes new engine swaps for several existing cars. Check out the Forza Horizon 6 Horizon Meets release notes on our Forza Support site for a full overview of the fixes and other changes that are included with this release. If you encounter any issues while playing Forza Horizon 6 that haven&#039;t been addressed in this update, be sure to submit a bug report on the Forza Feedback Portal and include as much detail as you can to help our teams investigate the problem. Park Up at the 7-Eleven Car Meet Thanks to a new collaboration with 7-Eleven, we’ve introduced a limited-time 7-Eleven Evolving World Car Meet and an EventLab Prop Pack inspired by the retail name, so you can get creative in finding new ways to show off your favorite cars!  Visit the brand-new Car Meet location themed around a 7-Eleven convenience store in the Nangan region, located near the Nangan Day Trip – a similar location to a real-life konbini that overlooks Mt. Fuji. We already know this will be a popular spot for you to take photos!  While this convenience store is temporarily available as part of the Evolving World for the Horizon Meets series, players will always be able to place the konbini into their EventLab creations. You can complete the look with the Clerk Uniform, inspired by the uniforms worn by 7-Eleven clerks in Japan, which is unlockable in the Festival Playlist by taking a snapshot of the 7-Eleven Car Meet during the first week of the series.  Around the back of the 7-Eleven konbini you will find a selection of rare and discounted Aftermarket Cars for purchase featuring the 2008 Mazda Furai and 1989 Toyota MR2 SC, which return from the ‘Welcome to Japan’ series, as well as the Wheelspin-exclusive 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR. Meanwhile, the 7-Eleven Konbini Prop Pack includes new 7-Eleven themed props to use in your EventLab, Garage and Estate creations. Here’s the full list: 5 new props in Signs &amp; Flags: 7-Eleven flag (3 variants), 7-Eleven small sign, 7-Eleven tall sign 4 new Festival props: E-Z UP tent (3 variants), 7-Eleven branded tent 5 new Urban props: 7-Eleven Konbini (the full convenience store from the Evolving World Car Meet), 7-Eleven vending machine, Shop Storage (3 variants with large and small stacks of crates, as well as a metal pulley for stacking crates) 2 new props in Roads &amp; Racing: 7-Eleven barrier with graphic (2 variants) 1 new prop in Walls &amp; Fences: Metal Railing 3 Feeling hungry? It wouldn&#039;t be a 7-Eleven collaboration without the Egg Salad Sandwich Collectible to keep you going throughout those long road-trips across Japan!  That’s not all! There are also 2 new Badges to unlock. Play Forza H ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Sir Terry Pratchett&#039;s Discworldis one of fantasy&#039;s most distinctive and enduring IPs, a sprawling universe that has grown across more than 40 novels and countless unforgettable characters. What began as a sharp parody of traditional fantasy gradually became something far more ambitious, using the absurdity of a world balanced on the backs of four elephants standing atop a giant turtle to explore everything from politics and religion to technology, mortality, and human nature. ]]></description>

<title>14 years later, Troy Baker is still embarrassed by his Mass Effect 3 role</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/23008</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/23008</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Calling Mass Effect 3&#039;s legacy &quot;controversial&quot; would be an understatement. The ending, the DLC rollout, the decision to turn the Normandy&#039;s computer into a sexed-up fembot… the list goes on. But among all that, the villain Kai Leng might still be the most-hated part of both the game and the entire franchise. Even now, 14 years after launch, actor Troy Baker still seems embarrassed about helping bring Kai Leng to life. In a recent video with YouTube channel Partychat, Baker is presented with clips of roles from throughout his career. He tells fond development stories about his roles as characters like Joel in The Last of Us and Higgs in Death Stranding, singing the praises of creators like Neil Druckmann and Hideo Kojima. But the instant he sees Kai Leng on screen? &quot;Don&#039;t,&quot; Baker says, turning to laugh. &quot;Next clip. Nope, next clip.&quot; He simply grimaces as the video continues to play, and he witnesses his character get stabbed through the torso. &quot;Yeah, I deserve that,&quot; Baker admits. &quot;There&#039;s so many reasons why I shouldn&#039;t have played that character.&quot;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/F2mc3qJCsZI Mass Effect 3 presents Leng as if he&#039;s the biggest badass in the galaxy, but his dorky goggles, ninja antics, and samurai sword give him the vibe of those &quot;I studied the blade&quot; memes. The fact that Leng is presented as being of Chinese descent while playing into Japanese character tropes only makes it more embarrassing. Every few years, you&#039;ll find yet another Mass Effect discussion thread with a title like &quot;Is Kai Leng the worst character of the franchise,&quot; &quot;Who is the worst character and why is it Kai Leng,&quot; or &quot;wtf is Kai Leng? Was someone drunk when he was created.&quot; There are even popular mods that fully cover Leng&#039;s face and delete his dialog from the game. Now that&#039;s dedication to a proper hater life. The Kai Leng hate has probably grown beyond reasonable criticism of the character at this point – as is the case with all negative online discussions – but the core of distaste for the character remains very real. Even, it seems, for Troy Baker himself. Mass Effect 5 might just be the biggest upcoming RPG on the horizon. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>The Original Frostpunk Is Heading To Switch 1 &amp;amp; 2</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22993</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22993</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Way back in 2018, Frostpunk made headlines as a genre-defining game, and now, in 2026, Switch players can finally enjoy it. With a set release date of October 19th, Frostpunk is set in a gritty, apocalyptic future where the Earth has become too cold for human habitation. The solution? A city called New London is founded in a glacier, with a massive heating tower keeping the population alive. Your role in this new society is to keep it alive by any means necessary. Watch the video The laws you choose will shape the society around you; healthcare, food provisions, and work routines will all influence how the city runs and survives. These choices, however, will inevitably lead to hard choices, with whichever option you pick leading to outcomes that could benefit or doom your city. Doom means that your citizenry will revolt if treated inhumanely or pushed too far. Aside from the management system, there are also other concerns, mostly pertaining to technology. While the...

<title>Judge Dredd Officially Replacing Dredd In New 40th Anniversary Release</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22997</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22997</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Judge Dredd has spent nearly 50 years dispensing his uncompromising brand of justice across Mega-City One, becoming one of British science fiction&#039;s most enduring characters in the process. Created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra for 2000 AD in 1977, Dredd quickly grew beyond his original comic-strip roots, spawning countless stories, spinoffs, and adaptations across multiple mediums. The franchise has produced everything from the 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie to Karl Urban&#039;s cult-favorite Dredd in 2012, alongside novels, audio dramas, video games, tabletop releases, and comics centered on characters including Judge Anderson and Judge Death. ]]></description>

<title>Star Wars Zero Company Gets Its First Big Discount at Amazon Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22995</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22995</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Star Wars Zero Company, one of our favorite games of the year so far, has just received its first big discount since its launch in late August. Ahead of the retailer&#039;s Prime Big Deal Days sale, which starts up tomorrow, Amazon has slashed 20% off both PS5 and Xbox Series X physical copies of the game, dropping them down to $47.97 and $47.99, respectively. That saves you $12 (or just over, if you opt for the PS5 copy) compared to paying full price, which isn&#039;t bad at all. Considering this marks a new all-time low price for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions at the retailer, it&#039;s a great time to grab them. Plus, they&#039;re not marked as Early Prime Deals, either, so you don&#039;t have to be a Prime member to save on them. If this XCOM-style strategy game set in a galaxy far, far away has been on your fall wishlist, it&#039;s one we&#039;d highly recommend grabbing for your gaming library. Writer Dan Stapleton wrote in IGN&#039;s 9/10 review that it&#039;s &quot;an excellent tactical game that does a fantastic job of slathering on the same cinematic look and feel we saw in Respawn&#039;s Star Wars Jedi games, incorporating strong characters and a storyline that&#039;s refreshingly centered on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain.&quot; Amazon isn&#039;t the only place that has it discounted, either. As part of its Techtober Sale, Best Buy has also knocked it down to $47.99 across PS5 and Xbox Series X. So, if you&#039;d prefer to scoop it up there, that&#039;s another option worth checking out. The Techtober Sale is stacked with even more game deals to look at alongside Star Wars Zero Company, too. If you&#039;re in the shopping mood, it&#039;s worth having a look at what&#039;s available while the sale is still live until October 11.  Of course, Prime Big Deal Days is also worth keeping an eye on tomorrow for more video game deals. This sale only runs until October 7, though, so you have a shorter amount of time to pick up the discounted titles that catch your eye.  ]]></description>

<title>Rumour: Behaviour Interactive May Be Developing A New AAA Sci&amp;Fi Shooter</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22990</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22990</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  A recent job listing hints that Behaviour Interactive is developing an unannounced AAA sci-fi first-person shooter.  Is this all smoke and mirrors for a new DLC in Dead by Daylight, perhaps? A few days ago, Behaviour Interactive put out a job posting for a Senior Technical Animator position for an unannounced AAA sci-fi FPS title made in Unreal Engine. While there were a few details to extrapolate from the job listing, the game IP or game world is all speculation. Behaviour Interactive’s own job posting contains some general details about the unannounced game. One of the most interesting phrases used was that they are searching to build this game “with a high realism bar.” The sci-fi shooter aspect felt like it leaned towards Behaviour Interactive’s Meet Your Maker game that was released back in 2023. However, the scope appears to be wider since it mentioned AAA.  Meet Your Maker was on a smaller scale, with the Montreal-based studio departing from the horror genre ever so...

<description><![CDATA[ ABOUT THE COMPETITIONBlack Horse of Video Games is a yearly Polish exhibition and competition of independent games from all over the world, whose winners can win the Black Horse statuette and a cash prize.“This year, we are once again striving to offer unusual, subversive, and provocative titles. Last year was very fruitful in this regard, so it was with difficulty and a heavy heart that we selected the final six. On behalf of the entire selection team, we hope that you will find it just as difficult and painful to choose the winner.” - Magdalena Cielecka, exhibition curator. ABOUT FESTIVALArs Independent is a Polish multimedia and pop-culture festival dedicated to film, animation, music videos and video games. Its emblem is the Black Horse — a symbol of an unexpected winner, a reference to Eadweard Muybridge’s pioneering experiments with motion photography, an ironic response to the golden animals traditionally awarded at film festivals, and a nod to the mining heritage of Upper Silesia. Film screenings, video game exhibitions, concerts and live acts, meetings and discussions — Ars Independent is a festival with an open and interdisciplinary formula.The event is organized by the culture institution Katowice the City of Gardens and Silesia Film Institutionhttps://arsindependent.pl/?lang=en ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  The Japanese voice actor of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid games says he thinks Konami should make another one, even if Hideo Kojima isn’t involved. Prolific voice actor Akio Otsuka – who has been working since the late ’80s and voiced Solid Snake, Naked Snake, Solidus Snake, and Venom Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series – told Japanese publication Bunshun that while he vowed never to work on another Metal Gear game following the departure of Hideo Kojima, he still believes fans should get one. Otsuka was asked about his working relationship with Kojima, and he expressed his admiration for how he managed to keep working after his split from Konami. Read More... ]]></description>

<title>October&amp;apos;s Prime Day deals for gamers LIVE: the top early savings across PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox, and PC</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22980</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22980</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Menu  (Image credit: Future) 1. Quick links 2. Top deals 3. Live updates Amazon&#039;s October Prime Day may officially kick off tomorrow, but there are already plenty of PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC discounts flying about. Best Buy has already launched its competing TechTober sale and Walmart&#039;s discounts are coming in thick and fast as well. That means your first major savings opportunity of the season is upon us, now it&#039;s time to sift through the offers.  I&#039;ve been tracking major sales like Amazon Prime Day for years now, so I&#039;ve been scouring the web to not just find the biggest savings but the highest value discounts on the shelves. Combining years of hands-on experience with the latest and greatest PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PC gadgets with year-round price tracking and trend watching, I&#039;m bringing you the Amazon Prime Day deals gamers actually need to know about this week.  That eye for value is necessary - not all Prime Day offers are created equally. We often see gadgets taking a percentage off their prices, but still sitting far from their lowest rates of the year. Some are even more expensive than they were just a few weeks ago. With so many price increases already plaguing console and PC setups this year, finding the bonafide savings is more important than ever.  You&#039;ll find all my top picks from the early Prime Day deals already cropping up just below, and live updates from this week&#039;s deal hunt further down the page. Quick linksPS5: games from $6.98Switch: accessories from $1.99Xbox: controllers from $28PCs: iBuyPower from $899.99Laptops: HP from $799.99Controllers: 8BitDo from $29.99Handhelds: Anbernic from $49Monitors: MSI from $89.99Today&#039;s best Prime Day gaming deals  Best Buy has returned one of the better Switch 2 controller deals I see year round. The GameSir Super Nova is a little tricksy when it comes to that wake functionality, but it&#039;s still a sturdy controller that feels far more premium in the hand compared to other $30 alternatives. This is the cheapest the trigger-stop gamepad goes for even when major sales hit.

However, the officially licensed Xbox controller is at its lowest price yet with that rare $5 saving.  Read more: Hyperkin Competitor reviewView Deal  The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake: was $69.99 now $59.88Amazon still has $10 off its Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time pre-orders. That&#039;s well worth jumping on if you&#039;re after the foil cover physical edition - these cases won&#039;t be replaced on the shelves. This is also the cheapest way to get your order for November 5th&#039;s release. View Deal  It&#039;s rare to see first party Nintendo Switch 2 games seeing these kinds of savings after release. Amazon often drops $10 off pre-orders, but finding any movement on those $59.99 MSRPs after launch is tricky. Amazon&#039;s not listing the saving specifically here, but Air Riders is $10 off ahead of Prime Day.

That&#039;s its best price of the year so far, and a record-low.

<description><![CDATA[  The Fallout franchise has been through a number of genre swaps over its long runtime, but it&#039;s just gone through another. The very first game, created by Interplay in 1997, was an isometric, top-down, semi-turn-based action RPG. Since then, Fallout games have delved into a tactical RPG, open-world action RPG, mobile base-building idler, and even an MMORPG. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  P.T. is making an unexpected comeback more than a decade after Hideo Kojima&#039;s infamous horror teaser disappeared from the PlayStation Store, as a fan developer rebuilds it as a native PC port. The project could give P.T.a new lease on life while staying much closer to the original PS4 release than the many fan remakes that followed. ]]></description>

<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22968</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22968</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  A new weekend has arrived, and today, you can save big on Star Wars Zero Company, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Shuten Order, MLB The Show 26, and more. Check out our top picks for Sunday, October 4, below.Star Wars Zero Company for $47.97 Star Wars Zero Company is one of the biggest sleeper hits of the year, and you can save $12 off a physical copy today at Amazon. In our 9/10 review, we wrote, &quot;Star Wars Zero Company is an excellent tactical game that does a fantastic job of slathering on the same cinematic look and feel we saw in Respawn&#039;s Star Wars Jedi games, incorporating strong characters and a storyline that&#039;s refreshingly centered on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain.&quot;Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter for $39.99 Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is the first entry in the beloved Trails series, and last year&#039;s remake brought new life to the original game. With 2nd Chapter out now, today is a great time to dive into this wonderful RPG series.AirPods Pro 3 for $179.99 AirPods Pro 3 are a fantastic upgrade over the 2nd generation, bringing a built-in heart rate sensor, redesigned eartips for better noise cancellation, and improved sound quality. Right now, you can score a pair for only $179 at Amazon. I&#039;ve had a pair since launch and have been incredibly happy with them, especially coming from the original AirPods Pro.Shuten Order for $49.99 Amazon has Nintendo Switch 2 copies of Shuten Order on sale today for $49.99, which is the lowest price we&#039;ve seen to date. If you&#039;re unfamiliar, Shuten Order comes from DMM Games, Neilo, and Tookuo Games as a game that offers five different gameplay styles, such as a visual novel, stealth action, and more. Nintendo Switch copies are also on sale for $39.99.Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $49.99 Metroid Prime 4 was the Nintendo Switch 2&#039;s big December game last year, and you can score a physical Switch 2 copy at Woot this weekend for $49.99. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, &quot;Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is an excellent, if relatively uneven, revival that reaches heights worthy of the Metroid name in its best moments.&quot;LEGO Star Wars AT-AT for $51.99 Amazon has the LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set on sale for $51.99 right now. This 525-piece set features not only the AT-AT, but also the Rebel Alliance Snowspeeder as it attempts to take down the giant machine. LEGO has continued to rise in price over the years, so this 20% discount is certainly worth a look.Save $10 off Ocarina of Time Remake Physical Copies Similar to previous Nintendo Switch 2 physical releases, Amazon has The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time available for $59.99 right now. This deal will end on release date, which is quickly approaching with us now in October. If you&#039;ve yet to experience this masterpiece or are diving back into Hyrule, the Ocarina of Time remake is sure to be one of the most talked-about games of 2026.Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection for $29.99 Amazon has PS5 copies of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection on sale for $29.99 today, which saves you $10 off this collection of seven games. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, &quot;The Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is the best way to play as the most underrated version of the Blue Bomber.&quot;MLB The Show 26 for $29.99 If you&#039;re like me, this is the time where baseball truly gets exciting with October finally here. There&#039;s no better way to engage with the sport outside of watching it than with MLB The Show, and Amazon has copies of MLB The Show 26 available right now for $29.99. This is the lowest we&#039;ve seen MLB The Show 26 all Summer, so now is a great time to pick up a copy as we head into the postseason.Kirby Air Riders for $48.99 Kirby Air Riders was one of the biggest Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives in 2025, and today, you can score a physical copy for $48.99 at Amazon. There is plenty to do here, regardless of whether you are looking for single player or multiplayer content. Even if you feel like you already have your kart-racer fill with Mario Kart, Kirby Air Riders offers a unique and fun challenge that&#039;s quite different from anything else on the system.   ]]></description>

<title>Blindfolded Tekken 8 Player Achieves One of the Game’s Top Ranks from Beginner</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22962</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22962</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Professional Tekken 8 player SuperBrine is going viral after reaching God of Destruction using Alisa while completely blindfolded with a sleep mask. SuperBrine has been streaming his run on Twitch in the form of seven separate broadcasts, starting in June 2026. The final stream from this series, broadcast in early October, has become a hot topic within the fighting game community, as he was able to reach one of the game’s top ranks from Beginner while obscuring his vision with a sleep mask. It’s an impressive feat no matter how you swing it, standing as a testament to SuperBrine’s skill as a player and Tekken 8’s laudable sound design — but, perhaps unsurprisingly, his blindfolded run from Beginner to God of Destruction has sparked no end of debate about the game&#039;s difficulty and Alisa’s ease of use as a character. HERE WE ARE...First person ever to get From BEGINNER to GoD rank 100% Blindfolded on LIVE streamThis took me alot of effort and time, but hell yea worth it.my whole run from the beginning to the end is SAVED in my twitch highlights.a new youtube video incoming#TEKKEN8 https://t.co/JhEpwWijjw— SuperBrine (@SuperBrineTK) October 4, 2026  I got the chance to sit down with SuperBrine to discuss his self-imposed challenge and find out if it was legit or not. He confirmed that there was no way he was able to see through the sleep mask (which are typically made out of thick material with dense cushions on the eyes), and reiterated that he’d streamed his entire run live on Twitch for all to see, so there was no way for him to cheat. As for the ‘why’ of it all, SuperBrine said he wanted to prove that he could do something impossible, and is hopeful the challenge will help boost his visibility as a pro player. He also admitted that this undertaking was not, in any way, meant as a criticism of Tekken 8 as a game, despite the discourse surrounding his efforts on social media. “My primary goal was simply to take on a challenge that most people will consider impossible and prove that I can do it,” he said. “I want to clarify that I didn&#039;t do this to criticize the game or suggest that it&#039;s poorly designed in any way. It&#039;s actually the exact opposite. I genuinely love this game, and I thrive on pushing my own personal limits through these kinds of extreme challenges. I am deeply passionate about it, and since my long-term plan is to pursue competing as my professional career, these kinds of challenges will directly support my career.&quot; Outside of being unable to see, SuperBrine revealed that the hardest part of this challenge was that his eyes began to burn from being closed so long beneath the sleep mask. This, on top of being mentally drained from putting so much effort into the task, forced him to take frequent breaks. “The physical toll was actually surprising. …Mentally, it required extreme patience, without it, completing this run simply wouldn&#039;t be possible,” he said. Even a top player would have difficulty on ranked if blindfolded, so how did SuperBrine manage to pull it off? He told me that he relied on his foundational skills as a fighting game player and a keen sense of how people play on different ranks, as well as Tekken 8&#039;s helpful sound cues. “It comes down to a massive amount of foundational experience. Playing on multiple smurf accounts over time gave me an exact read on the game knowledge players have at different ranks. Because of that, I knew precisely which strings and flowcharts would work and which wouldn&#039;t. Beyond that, precise hearing is crucial. You would be able to instantly differentiate specific sounds knowing whether a move resulted in a wall splat or not, if it was a hit or a block, and if you landed a counter hit versus a normal hit. Ultimately, it’s all about paying attention to the audio and knowing exactly the type of player you are facing,&quot; he explained. For those who believe that Tekken 8 is so easy that anyone can pick up a blindfold and a controller and get to God of Destruction, SuperBrine invites you to try it; but it’s not that simple, because if it was, anyone would be able to do it. “People are free to have their own opinions on it. There will always be positive and negative ones, and I respect that. But turning this into a criticism of Tekken 8 will not help the future of the game. You can&#039;t reach God of Destruction blindfolded just by picking a specific character and hoping for the best. It takes thousands of hours of game knowledge, knowing what kind of players you will face and what level of game knowledge they have, and relying entirely on audio cues. If it was just a flaw in the game or an easy character, someone else would have done it already,” he said. SuperBrine chose to give himself this challenge; there are many other fighting game players who have reached top ranks and even become pros in spite of having actual disabilities. For instance, the late great BrolyLegs was a top Street Fighter player who could duke it out with the best of them using only his mou ]]></description>

<title>Mighty Mike Plays Dad Says He Owns &amp;apos;Like 12 Companies,&amp;apos; Promises Refunds for AI Shirts</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22963</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22963</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Mighty Mike Plays dad Dave has promised refunds and issued a lengthy explanation after the internet demanded more information about the YouTube ads allegedly purchased by his son and the drama that followed. The Mighty Mike Plays saga began when a father took to YouTube to announce that his son had allegedly used his company credit card to purchase more than $118,000 in video ads. It was a painful and highly relatable story that snowballed into a full-fledged internet spectacle when pricey AI-generated T-shirts and questionable details led many online to look for concrete answers. The controversial father figure came clean in a new video titled &quot;Allow me to Explain&quot; that was uploaded to the Mighty Mike Plays channel last week (via Dexerto). Dave started the hour-long explainer – which has since been deleted and re-uploaded on a new YouTube channel called Coffee Time with Dave – promising that everyone who purchased one of those T-shirts would receive a refund. “this might be the end of Mighty Mike Plays…” is the funniest thing you could say in front of your dad after putting him 118k in debt and getting him fired— Mako Fukasame ????????‍???? | Vershion AU (@MakoFukasame) September 15, 2026  &quot;Dave here. A.k.a. Devoted Dave. A.k.a. Dazzling Dave. A.k.a. Dependable Dave, and the list goes on,&quot; Dave said. &quot;I want to give you guys an update: First off, I&#039;m going to say that everyone that got a shirt got refunded whether they asked for it or not. So, whether you wanted a refund or not, you got it.&quot; The full video covers allegations related to the Mighty Mike Plays drama and also covers a lot that has nothing to do with it at all. Dave&#039;s headline he wants to share, though, is that this all blew up so much faster and so much bigger than he ever expected it to be. He explained that he thought he was simply &quot;venting&quot; about his son&#039;s spending with a story that sounds like the kind of thing you&#039;d tell a friend at a bar. Millions of views and a sea of video responses later, and it&#039;s clear it didn&#039;t pan out the way he ever imagined it would. &quot;I remember thinking, like, you know, I wonder if this video will hit 10,000 views,&quot; he said. &quot;That&#039;s kind of where I thought it would cap. I didn&#039;t think it would go so viral. Everything happened real-time, organically, and I obviously didn&#039;t handle everything the right way, essentially, but just to make it clear: I didn&#039;t come to YouTube to ask for help. I wasn&#039;t looking for any sort of help.&quot; Part of the reason why the internet gathered with Minecraft fans to help out is because Dave said the $118,000 hole his son put in his company card resulted in him being fired. He also stated he had just 30 days to make up for the missing money, but in the new video, Dave has clarified some of those details. Instead of losing his job, Dave suggested he technically was not fired in a traditional sense, with that part of the story being a &quot;simplified version&quot; of what actually happened. The reality, he said, is that &quot;the contract between company A and company B just got terminated,&quot; adding, &quot;isn&#039;t that the same thing?&quot; As many had suspected, he doesn&#039;t just own his own company – he owns 12. &quot;Yeah, I own my own company. So what?&quot; Dave clarified. &quot;In fact, you guys didn&#039;t even see – I have like 12 companies. Not all of them are productive, as we speak. Some of them are just collecting dust, and just because someone has a company or is a CEO doesn&#039;t mean that, &#039;Oh, OK. Just by having those titles you&#039;re actually conducting a profitable business.&#039;&quot; He continued: &quot;But just to clarify, I consider that being fired. If my company lost a contract with this important company, then, I mean, how is that not being fired? Fine. I&#039;ll be more specific next time.&quot; As for those controversial T-shirts and why he&#039;s issuing refunds, Dave said he &quot;didn&#039;t want to sit around and let these actual scammers sell people who wanted to be involved in this story.&quot; His plan for an official merch page, which allegedly put him &quot;another $10K in the hole,&quot; still drew much ire from the internet, at least partially due to its prolific use of AI-generated designs. He explained why he&#039;s issued refunds – even if not all that many people found something to buy. &quot;In retrospect, was AI and the merch the way to go? Was the price the way to go? No,&quot; he said. &quot;Look, I&#039;m going to admit when I was wrong: That was not the move. I shouldn&#039;t have used AI. Although, at the time, I know I defended it. There is a now-infamous deleted post, which I crashed out.&quot; He later added: &quot;I do agree now, and if I could go back, I&#039;d do it differently, but again, I didn&#039;t have the luxury of time. Time was running out. We had to figure something out, so yeah, I had AI create some designs. I still feel like those designs were flawless, gorgeous, beautiful, superb, and there is about 100 people who got free shirts.&quot; It&#039;s unclear if Dave&#039;s explanation video will be enough to satisfy the many online who looked into the Minecraft YouTube channel after the events surr ]]></description>

<title>This critically acclaimed sci&amp;fi capitalism simulator is getting a board game adaptation</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22944</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22944</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Efficiency, productivity, the ruthless destruction of local environments in the name of the bottom line - the Satisfactory video game revels in some of the very worst excesses of modern capitalism. However, more than just satire, the engine-building game offers a robust and deeply satisfying series of systems for players to use to meet the ruthless quotas of the FICSIT corporation. This sort of ludonarrative confluence is delicious, and it&#039;s something that the folks at MOOD Publishing and Coffee Stain Studios are trying to capture as they aim to take Satisfactory from screen to tabletop in an upcoming crowdfunding campaign.

<description><![CDATA[  A Knight of the Seven Kingdomshas proven to be the perfect treat for Game of Thrones fans, but it also scratches a particular fantasy itch that even the original series didn&#039;t. Based on George R. R. Martin&#039;s Dunk and Egg novellas, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms dodges the grand scale and politics of Game of Thrones to focus on a smaller-scale approach. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Cyberpunk 2077 has officially climbed above Gears of War: E-Day on Steam&#039;s global Top Sellers chart. The result puts the nearly six-year-old RPG ahead of one of Xbox&#039;s biggest first-party releases during its launch window, serving as yet another reminder of the remarkably long tail that Cyberpunk 2077 has achieved. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Before Portal introduced us to everyone&#039;s favorite female AI overlord, System Shock 2 tackled the topic in a much darker way. BioShock creator Ken Levine cut his teeth on post-apocalyptic horror with this iconic title. The game was developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios and originally released in 1999, and has become a classic for its masterful storytelling and pulse-pounding moments of dread.  ]]></description>

<title>PS5 Emulation On PC Is Closer Than Ever After Latest Breakthrough</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22943</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22943</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The PlayStation 5 still remains the dominant player in the console gaming market, and even without as many triple-A exclusives as it used to, it has still been managing to sell out consoles in anticipation of upcoming releases. While part of this reason is that the PlayStation 5 is still too recent for the system to be reliably emulated, a recent breakthrough might be taking the advantage away from Sony. ]]></description>

<title>This intriguing engine&amp;building board game takes ecological battle to the frozen North</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22939</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22939</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  There&#039;s a lot to be said for clean, sleek design, especially in the chaotic world of board game kickstarters where busy, overdesigned products are often the rule rather than the exception. This is why I was pleasantly surprised by the crowdfunding campaign for Arctica, a competitive ecosystem-building game for one to four players. Its crisp aesthetic, modular board design, and novel gear-based player boards caught my attention among the scramble of board game crowdfunders. If you&#039;re a fan of thoughtful, nature-focused games like Wingspan, it may well capture yours, too.

<title>Former GTA lead says &amp;quot;there&amp;apos;s no greater compliment&amp;quot; than being compared to his Rockstar classics</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22929</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22929</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Rockstar co-founder and former lead writer Dan Houser thinks, in some ways, there&#039;s &quot;no greater compliment&quot; than being compared to his best Grand Theft Auto games. At the same time, he hopes his new projects at Absurd Ventures can hold up on their own.  After leaving the famed open-world developer in 2020, Dan Houser opened his own studio called Absurd Ventures that&#039;s now working on a number of multimedia projects, alongside a couple of games - at least one of which is another open-world romp. But the shadow of GTA still follows him. &quot;In terms of will I always be compared to it? I don’t know,&quot; Houser says in an interview with Variety. &quot;I mean, hopefully, on some level there could be no greater compliment. On another level, I hope some of the stuff we make is going to be successful in its own right. It&#039;s no problem to have made good things, but of course, if you make good things, if the new stuff&#039;s not as impactful, that&#039;s going to be disappointing in some ways. But it&#039;s still a privilege to make anything, otherwise you&#039;re just always drowning in your own previous creative work.&quot; Despite the comparisons, Houser thinks his job is to &quot;make things I&#039;m proud of&quot; rather than making things that are successful, which is probably the healthier way of thinking about a post-GTA career. Still, working on maybe the biggest video game franchise of all wasn&#039;t a stress-free experience, either. &quot;Certainly, there was a lot of pressure making any GTA game when I was on them,&quot; he explains. But he somewhat managed that pressure by developing games with &quot;as much integrity as I can muster&quot; and ultimately making something he can be proud of. &quot;And does it feel fresh, new? And if that&#039;s the case, let the results fall where they may. And certainly, even with games at Rockstar that were not successful, I was proud of them if we&#039;d done what I thought was a good job. And so that&#039;s going to be the same here. We can&#039;t sit there going, &#039;If it&#039;s not the biggest thing ever, I&#039;m a failure.&#039; Because then you&#039;ve got to process either, I&#039;m a failure, I&#039;m a success — but it feels just the same. So the work is the creative work, not what the market thinks of it.&quot; Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser is avoiding GTA 6 so it doesn&#039;t &quot;distract or disrupt&quot; his new games, including another open-world comedy [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Platinum boss teases more Bayonetta games in the future</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22931</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22931</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  PlatinumGames boss Atsushi Inaba says the famed action studio wants to make more Bayonetta projects in the future, despite the fact that many of the series&#039; lead developers have moved on.  Bayonetta was an iconic release in the genre during the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation, and the monster-spanking witch only solidified her place among the action greats with two direct sequels and a spin-off prequel exclusively on Nintendo consoles - not to mention her many appearances in other games, from Super Smash Bros Ultimate to Stellar Blade.  2023&#039;s Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon might not be where things end, however. Speaking to Famitsu, Inaba suggests there&#039;s still a long future for Bayonetta. (Good spot, VGC.) Asked about further games in the series, Inaba says he &quot;can&#039;t really answer that right now,&quot; but don&#039;t worry. &quot;We have a strong desire to further develop the character of Bayonetta and expand her world. Please look forward to seeing what form that takes in the future.&quot; Notably, legendary game director and series co-creator Hideki Kamiya left the company in 2023 and opened his own development studio to work on Okami 2, a sequel to the cult classic Capcom adventure. He cited disagreements with the studio&#039;s direction as the reason for his departure. As VGC notes, Kamiya is far from the only high-profile dev to have left Platinum in recent years. Abebe Tinari (Bayonetta Origins), Yusuke Miyata (Bayonetta 3), Takahisa Taura (Astral Chain), and Kenji Saito (Metal Gear Rising) are among some of the other big names no longer at the studio. Mass Effect star Jennifer Hale would &quot;love to play Bayonetta again,&quot; despite being &quot;thrown under the bus&quot; during controversy around the third game&#039;s casting [/url] ]]></description>

For more than 30 years, players could only play Vixen 357 by getting the Japanese Sega Genesis cartridge and running it on the original hardware or an emulator, or by using unofficial English mods and hacks. But that is about to change in 2026. ]]></description>

<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22914</link>

<description><![CDATA[  RuneScape: Dragonwilds has only recently reached its 1.0 release, but Jagex is already looking well beyond that launch (while currently updating this version). The open-world survival-crafting game has spent much of its development expanding Ashenfall and building out its version of the RuneScape formula, with players now able to explore the completed Kuldra&#039;s Saga across PC and consoles. With that chapter finished, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is preparing to move into a new part of its story while also establishing a regular stream of content for the years ahead. ]]></description>

<title>Playing God: The revolutionary AI that made Black &amp;amp; White still unforgettable</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22915</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22915</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Picture it: a suited exec walks onto a stage and announces a new game about influencing and controlling people, about good and evil. And the clincher: it&#039;ll all be driven by machine learning. In 2026, that game has to be a dystopia. That&#039;s where our imaginations go now when we hear anything about AI and social control. There&#039;d be a grim synthwave drone underpinning scenes of trench-coated cyberpunks. There would be absolutely no apes casting spells.  But 2001 was a very different time, and Black &amp; White took those exact elements, simian wizards and all, and turned them into a joyful sandbox without even a whiff of the sinister about it. In many ways it was a natural extension of Peter Molyneux&#039;s favorite themes, and by the turn of the millennium his particular fingerprint was already familiar.   (Image credit: Lionhead Studios) Bullfrog&#039;s back catalogue had consistently offered compelling power fantasies throughout the &#039;90s, and they often had a quietly amoral aspect. Theme Park famously empowered you not just to build an eponymous theme park, but also to lead thrill-seekers to their demise – at least gastrointestinally – on your rides. Dungeon Keeper made that motif explicit, more or less inviting you to build torture chambers for heroes to navigate. Even the more straight-laced Bullfrog series, Populous, featured throwaway human sacrifice and wanton destruction of rival tribes&#039; villages. Above all, in every Bullfrog game, the kick was in controlling people, according to whatever personal moral compass you decided to adhere to.  When Molyneux began to work on a new project with a team of nine in February 1998, his ambition was to take those notions further than his previous games had been able to: Black &amp; White would be a toybox in which the player felt that they could do anything. But it would also call upon deeply specific and personal references from Molyneux&#039;s own childhood and pop-culture kinks. In a 2000 GDC keynote, he told the audience how he &quot;wept like a baby&quot; at the end of King Kong and felt like a god in an alien land the first time he found an anthill. Those threads can be picked up in the final release of Black &amp; White, but along the way many ambitious concepts fell to the cutting-room floor or were radically retooled.   (Image credit: Lionhead Studios) Among these ideas from the newly formed Lionhead Studios was the ability to pick up any creature in the game and rear it into a giant. Buildings and environments would take on a different visual aspect depending on your alignment to good or evil, while the characters within them would be fully lip-synced. And at the centre of it all would be a tale of powerful wizards vying with the player for control of a set of islands.  Eventually, the creatures you could control would be limited to just a handful, lip-sync was jettisoned, and the wizards&#039; robes were tossed in the bin in favour of warring gods. But it would be the personnel, rather than the premise, that would make Black &amp; White special. Calling in the gods  (Image credit: Lionhead Studios) One of that team of nine, and working out of Molyneux&#039;s own house for the early part of Black &amp; White&#039;s development, was Richard Evans. He&#039;d been Molyneux&#039;s colleague at EA and now co-founded Lionhead with him. A young chess prodigy called Demis Hassabis joined shortly afterwards, reuniting with Molyneux after leaving Bullfrog to earn a double first in computer science at Cambridge University. Much later, Hassabis would go on to found DeepMind, the deep-learning AI research project bought by Google in 2014, which taught a computer to beat any human Go player. Then it was constantly working on cures for terminal disease, but subsequently merged with Google Brain in 2023 to become Google DeepMind, which now claims to be building &quot;safe artificial intelligence systems&quot;. Evans would also take a job at DeepMind, on the research team. But as has been established, 2001 was a different time. And in that time, these two artificial intelligence luminaries coded a chimp that learned where it was allowed to excrete.   (Image credit: Lionhead Studios) That is to say, they built the phenomenal machine learning AI of Black &amp; White&#039;s creatures. This was and remains the game&#039;s secret sauce, never to be bettered by 25 years of subsequent releases in any genre. Black &amp; White&#039;s release was still within reaching distance of the late &#039;90s Tamagotchi craze, so there was plenty of interest in even its creatures&#039; need for food and water to survive, and their ability to grow over time. But of their own volition, they&#039;d imitate you. They&#039;d cast spells they&#039;d seen you cast. Interact with villagers either benevolently or like a monster in a Godzilla film, tossing them casually to their deaths or snacking on them. Eat, sleep, and excrete where you told them to, however bizarre or impractical. Thanks to its incredibly intelligent creatures, Black &amp; White is a video game of blink-and-you&#039;ll-miss-it revelations. At the time of its releas ]]></description>

<title>Steam’s Next Big Co&amp;Op Hit Is Almost Here</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22911</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22911</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Steam is absolutely packed with entertaining games full of silly character models, wacky physics, and emergent co-op gameplay, also sometimes known endearingly as friendslop games. Outside of truly viral friendslop games like Peak, releases in this genre rarely stay at the top of the mountain for long. One month, a spooky extraction shooter could be the latest fad, and the next, a game where players quickscope fish alongside their buddies may be the talk of the town. The latest viral hit of many friendslop gems might just be Steam’s Broke Wizards, though, as its development team is known for its creativity. ]]></description>

<title>Jagex announces a fourth Runescape MMO, but &amp;quot;RS4 is not a replacement for any of our games&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22910</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22910</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Developer Jagex has announced a fourth Runescape MMO that&#039;s planned to sit alongside all the other games in the long-standing fantasy series.  Jagex revealed the &quot;entirely new Runescape MMORPG&quot; at RuneFest Birmingham this weekend with the apt working title of RS4. The studio stressed that RS4 won&#039;t be the name this MMO launches with, but it makes sense for now considering it&#039;s the company&#039;s &quot;fourth generation&quot; of Runescape. All we have is a short teaser trailer - take a look below.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8Vu7c-8SCUc So, what&#039;s different the fourth go around? This time, RS4 is notably being built on Unreal Engine and is set in Gielinor - during the sixth age but years after the recently-released Runescape Dragonwilds - with the adventure starting in Ashenfall. &quot;Our ambition is for this adventure to grow far beyond Ashenfall over time, moving into places you know and love, as well as opening up new places and stories across Gielinor,&quot; the studio writes in a new blog post.  Runescape 4 - or whatever it&#039;s eventually, officially called - is &quot;still a few years away,&quot; according to the developer, but Jagex announced this new project so far in advance so it can build the MMO alongside the fans: &quot;For 25 years, RuneScape has been shaped by its players. We&#039;ve learned that our games are at their best when we build with you, not just for you. So we want to do that from the beginning, and that means bringing you into the development journey earlier than you might expect - sharing ideas, testing things, listening and learning as we go.&quot; Jagex was also keen to stress that RS4 won&#039;t be a replacement for any of its existing Runescape games, including Old School, Runescape, or Dragonwilds. Each of those games will apparently still hold on to their own &quot;dedicated teams, exciting roadmaps and continued investment.&quot; &quot;25 years ago, Runescape began with a world, a small team and a community that helped turn it into something far bigger than anyone could have imagined. Now we get to start another adventure together.&quot; RuneScape Dragonwilds isn&#039;t getting a price increase when it leaves early access: &quot;We hope this small gesture goes some way to showing our endless appreciation&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

The recent release of the new Remastered edition of Witcher 3 is letting players relive Geralt&#039;s journey in a brand-new way, while the upcoming Songs of the Past DLC will effectively be Geralt&#039;s swan song before the story shifts focus to Ciri in The Witcher 4. ]]></description>

<title>Launch Server Matchmaking </title>

<description><![CDATA[ Prepare yourselves Daevas! The first Elyos and Asmodian server pairings have been revealed. Find your server below to see which server will become your first enemy in Atreia. What is Server Matchmaking?In Aion 2, the Elyos and Asmodians each live on their own servers. But the war between the factions doesn&#039;t stay behind borders for long. As you journey through Atreia, you&#039;ll get chances to face the opposing faction in modes such as Spacetime Rifts and the Abyss. To bring the two sides together, each Elyos server is paired with an Asmodian server for a limited time. Whenever you enter the Abyss or another cross-faction mode, the players you meet from the other faction will come from your matched server.  For example, if the Asmodian server Israphel is paired with the Elyos server Siel, every Israphel Asmodian who enters the Abyss will run into Siel&#039;s Elyos. Those are the players you&#039;ll be clashing with, competing against, and… holding grudges against.  Global Server Pairings EuropePair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1SielIsraphel2NezekanZikel3VaizelTriniel4KaisinelLumiel5YustielMarchutan6ArielAzphel7FregionEreshkigal8MeslamtaedaBeritra9HithanyaNemon10NaniaHadala11TahavataLudra12LuterosUlgorn13PhernosMunin14DaminuOdar15KasakaZemurru16BakarmaKromede17TsenkaQuai18KochiBaba NA WestPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1SielIsraphel2NezekanZikel3VaizelTriniel4KaisinelLumiel5YustielMarchutanNA EastPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1SielIsraphel2NezekanZikel3VaizelTriniel4KaisinelLumiel5YustielMarchutan6ArielAzphel7FregionEreshkigal8MeslamtaedaBeritraLATAMPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1SielIsraphel2NezekanZikel3VaizelTriniel4KaisinelLumiel5YustielMarchutan6ArielAzphelASIAPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1SielIsraphel2NezekanZikel3VaizelTriniel4KaisinelLumiel5YustielMarchutanWill My Server Pairing Always Be the Same? No. We will update server pairings periodically to keep the factions balanced.

<description><![CDATA[  John Wick entered the franchise as a legend whose reputation preceded him, but the story of how Jardani Jovonovich actually became the Baba Yaga remains surprisingly incomplete. The films have gradually filled in pieces of his past, revealing his Belarusian origins, his connection to the Ruska Roma, and the brutal training that helped transform him into one of the underworld&#039;s most feared assassins. By the time Wick worked for Viggo Tarasov, however, he was already a name capable of terrifying hardened criminals. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  RuneFest 2026 is over, and we’ve got a roundup of everything announced at Jagex’s big show celebrating its long-running fantasy MMORPG.RuneScape 4 This year saw a number of significant announcements, none bigger than confirmation that a fourth RuneScape MMO is in the works. Jagex hasn’t officially called it RuneScape 4 (RS4 is the working title), but we know it’s built on Unreal Engine and is designed to use the latest technology and design, so it really does sound like a next-gen RuneScape game. There’s no information on when it will be released, but the teaser trailer is below. New RuneScape animated adaptation Jagex announced a new RuneScape animated adaptation, in partnership with YouTuber Charlie White, aka MoistCr1TiKaL, and production company Lyrical Media. No word on what this is exactly or when it will be released, but it’s happening!RuneScape Reignited Jagex announced RuneScape Reignited, which launches December 2. Jagex called it a “defining moment” for the 25-year-old game, designed to rekindle interest among lapsed players and get existing players excited. There’s a Remastered Journey and Adventure Guide, a fresh economy, and brand-new hi scores. Players can get full Reignited Access without membership from December 2-12. The long-awaited Plugin API launches this month, with players getting an early hands-on ahead of official release. The debut trailer is below: We also got what Jagex called “the biggest roadmap in the game’s history.” 2027 content unfolds in three story arcs, all of which tie into long-running storylines. Hoard of Dragons (January) offers a sequel to the popular Dragon Slayer quest, City of Gnomes continues the gnome storyline, and Secrets of Karamja introduces a new endgame raid. Also coming is an Agility skill rework, new skilling and solo bosses, new area expansions, and a new Grandmaster Quest. Old School RuneScape Old School RuneScape, meanwhile, got an updated roadmap. The Golden Gates to Menaphos are opening finally after 20 years, alongside a suite of fan-demanded content. The Fractured Archive, a new endgame raid, launches October 20. Hardcore Worlds launches November 4. And next year will also see the continuation of the Fairytale questline, Quest month, Dungeons of Gielinor, a Mining and Smithing rework, Chosen Commander, and the Tower of Xorphoros. RuneScape: Dragonwilds The recently released spinoff, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, saw the announcement of the Blood Crystal Saga and updated plans for 2027. The Luminance update is a prelude to 2027’s Blood Crystal Saga, and launches in December this year. This features the introduction of the Elves into RuneScape: Dragonwilds, new elven-themed customisation options for player characters and buildings alike and the Prayer skill. The Blood Crystal Saga kicks off in 2027 starting with the Song of Rebellion in early 2027. These updates feature enemies like Moss Giants, Kebbits, and Implings, the Hunter Skill as well as new areas for players to explore, new quests and gear as well new decorations for houses inspired by the classic RuneScape city of Prifddinas. Expect quarterly updates, which will include new Skills such as Hunter and Slayer, as well as monthly updates featuring side quests, weapons, decorations and quality of life improvements. Official modding arrives on Dragonwilds in 2027 through a new partnership with CurseForge — complete with dedicated creation tools and an in-game mod browser and installer, available across all platforms including console.  ]]></description>

<title>Fourth RuneScape MMO Built With Unreal Engine in the Works, Jagex Announces RuneScape Animation With MoistCr1TiKaL</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22874</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22874</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Developer Jagex has announced a fourth MMO in the long-running RuneScape franchise, as well as an animated adaptation. At RuneFest in Birmingham, England, Jagex offered a glimpse at this new MMO, which it said was built “for a new generation of players.” It’s still in early development (a release isn&#039;t expected for at least a few years), and it doesn’t have an official title (Jagex is going with RS4 as a working title for now), but it will “bring the world of Gielinor to life in Unreal Engine, combining the depth, freedom and community-led spirit that have defined RuneScape for 25 years with the technology and game design possibilities of today.” Jagex currently operates RuneScape itself, Old School RuneScape, and spinoff RuneScape: Dragonwilds. RuneScape has seen a number of major updates tied to sequel names, including a rename to RuneScape 2 in 2004 and RuneScape 3 in 2013. But both were dropped in favor of, simply, RuneScape, and it is now treated as an ongoing live service. It&#039;s tempting, then, to call this new game RuneScape 4, and it may end up justifying the name, but Jagex has yet to rubber stamp any title. Indeed, we hardly know anything about this new RuneScape MMO, but with the mention of Unreal Engine, the expectation is it will have modern visuals and design. An image from the concept teaser and the concept teaser itself are below. Here&#039;s the official blurb on the fourth RuneScape MMO: Headlining RuneFest was the first glimpse of an ambitious new chapter for RuneScape: a fourth RuneScape MMO, built for a new generation of players. Still early in development, the as-yet-unnamed title will bring the world of Gielinor to life in Unreal Engine, combining the depth, freedom and community-led spirit that have defined RuneScape for 25 years with the technology and game design possibilities of today. In a blog post, Jagex explained that it has announced RuneScape 4 so early because it wants to build on the tech development it made for Dragonwilds, and lean on the community co-development it established through RuneScape and Old School. The developer insisted RS4 is not a replacement for either RuneScape, Old School, or Dragonwilds, each of which has its own dedicated team and will continue to see investment. &quot;We’ll be designing RS4 to sit alongside them as an additional way to experience RuneScape and the world of Gielinor,&quot; Jagex said. &quot;In fact, we think having different RuneScape experiences can make the whole family stronger,&quot; the developer continued. &quot;Players may spend most of their time in one game, move between several, or discover Gielinor for the very first time through RS4. The ambition isn&#039;t to replace the RuneScape games you love. It&#039;s to make the RuneScape universe bigger.&quot; Jagex also confirmed RS4 will be set in Gielinor, as you&#039;d expect, and in the Sixth Age. &quot;But we&#039;re beginning somewhere that RuneScape players have only recently started to discover - and that is Ashenfall. An area first explored in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, and a landmass to the north-east of the Gielinor. &quot;RS4 will take place years after the events of Dragonwilds and the destruction of the Dragon Queen Kuldra. Time has passed, the world has moved on, and Ashenfall has changed with it. But Ashenfall is only the beginning. &quot;Our ambition is for this adventure to grow far beyond Ashenfall over time, moving into places you know and love, as well as opening up new places and stories across Gielinor.&quot; RuneScape is of course one of the longest-running video games in the world. Jagex says it’s seen over 300 million player accounts created in the 25 years since RuneScape first launched. But the company’s plan is to expand the franchise into new genres and even adaptations. For example, at RuneFest Jagex also announced work had started on a new RuneScape animated adaption, in partnership with YouTuber Charlie White, aka MoistCr1TiKaL, and LA-based production company Lyrical Media. Here’s the official blurb: Additionally, Jagex unveiled plans to expand RuneScape beyond games, partnering with creator and internet phenomenon, Charlie White aka MoistCr1TiKaL as well as acclaimed LA Based production business Lyrical Media, to bring the world, characters and stories of Gielinor to life in a new exciting animated adaption. Jagex announced a lot more at RuneFest today. Here’s everything we saw.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  RuneScapeis one of the biggest names in the MMORPG genre, and it&#039;s become much more than a single game over the years. Like World of Warcraft, the original version stuck around as RuneScape Classic, and a further iteration was later archived as Old School RuneScape. As for the main game, it gave way to RuneScape 2 and eventually to RuneScape 3. ]]></description>

<title>The Witcher 3 Remastered Mod Makes It Easier To Fix Washed Out Visuals</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22869</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22869</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The Witcher 3 remaster has found itself in a monster den of backlash, besieged by kikimores and ekimmara (read: fans and critics) alike for its &quot;washed out&quot; and &quot;lifeless&quot; visuals. Your settings, of course, play a crucial part, with path-tracing, ray-tracing, and HDR all offering vastly different results. Bloom even made things worse until CDPR rolled out a hotfix earlier this week.So, while it might be frustrating, you can get a more vibrant, better contrasted look by tinkering. And there&#039;s a mod that makes that even easier now. ]]></description>

<title>Ace Combat 8 Steam Debut More Than Triples AC7&amp;apos;s CCU</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22861</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22861</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is off the runway following its launch on Steam, with the new entry posting the strongest launch numbers in franchise history. According to SteamDB, the game reached an all‑time peak of 52,662 concurrent players this morning. The 24‑hour peak sits at nearly the same number, showing a surge of interest just a few days after release. It&#039;s one that does not seem to be slowing down as pilots make their way through the campaign and into online mode. Bandai Namco&#039;s air-sim action games traditionally performed well on consoles but modestly on PC, so this could also represent a significant shift in where fans are playing the game. ]]></description>

<title>&amp;quot;Fable&amp;apos;s original combat has a legacy of being quite approachable,&amp;quot; so the RPG&amp;apos;s devs don&amp;apos;t want to change that with the new game</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22857</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22857</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Fable devs say they&#039;re aiming to keep the RPG&#039;s combat &quot;approachable&quot; in line with the series&#039; legacy. Speaking to Edge magazine, associate director Will Kennedy explained that the combat in the original Fable games &quot;has a legacy of being quite approachable, so that&#039;s something we kept in mind while developing our combat system.&quot; But while that means you&#039;re not in for Dark Souls-style brawls, it doesn&#039;t mean there&#039;s not different forms of complexity hidden in the combat system. Arrows, for example, can be aimed at certain body parts. If you hit the leg of an undead &#039;Hollow&#039; enemy, for instance, they&#039;ll fall to the ground and crawl towards you. &quot;If you decapitate them,&quot; explains Craig Littler, another associate director, &quot;they don&#039;t know where to go [...] When you do that to a ranged enemy [...] they&#039;re just firing off in every direction.&quot; Elsewhere, the pair explain that the &#039;Befowl&#039; spell, which turns enemies into chickens, behaves differently against Hollow; &quot;they turn into undead chickens,&quot; explains Kennedy. &quot;And if you use Fireball on a chicken, they turn into a roast chicken. There are lots of little details.&quot; The approachability of Fable&#039;s combat is part of a wider move to not rely on fighting. Littler explains that rather than always fighting, some quests will rely on dialogue choices or the game&#039;s reputation system. &quot;There are quests that are much broader,&quot; he says. &quot;More exploration, even a puzzle or two along the way. One of the things we&#039;re really proud about is the variety of activities and how they all harmonize to tell a story that you feel really involved in.&quot; Fable’s combat shows a lot of promise, but I&#039;m glad it&#039;s not launching this year.

<title>&amp;apos;I Did My Best&amp;apos; — Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Responds to Fans Asking for Full Disc Version</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22858</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22858</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Naoki Hamaguchi said he did his best to fight for a disc release as the industry heads toward a &quot;future where physical media is essentially disc-less.&quot; The lead developer in charge of next year&#039;s new remake chapter opened up about the state of gaming during an interview with Radio Times. It&#039;s a topic he&#039;s touched on before, but this time, he explained how his own appreciation for physical media led him to push for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation to get at least one disc as the industry speeds toward an all-digital future. &quot;Personally, obviously, I bought lots of physical editions of games as a child. Sometimes I buy digital editions of games, but if I&#039;m particularly attached to a title, I want to get the physical version,&quot; Hamaguchi said, noting how the topic of a fully digital future has become &quot;particularly sensitive&quot; in recent months. &quot;And you know, being in the industry, sometimes I want to get my friends or acquaintances who&#039;ve worked on something to sign a copy of their own game.&quot; Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is confirmed to have a disc option when it launches in 2027, but there are some caveats. When physical owners on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, for example, pop their discs in, they should know the full experience will require an additional download – and a hefty one at that. It&#039;s a decision that has some fans split, but not one Hamaguchi and the team at Square Enix took lightly. &quot;I do really like and appreciate physical media,&quot; he said. &quot;I see a lot of people on social media saying, &#039;No disc, no purchase,&#039; and I understand where they&#039;re coming from.&quot; Hamaguchi acknowledged that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation does have a disc alternative for those who want it, even if it&#039;s just a &quot;key disc&quot; that only has &quot;the opening.&quot; He added that he understands that &quot;there are people out there with a lot of opinions&quot; about the future of physical media and shared a message to those who feel most passionately about the issue. &quot;First of all, I&#039;ve got people saying to me on social media, &#039;Give us a full disc version!&#039; And so, from an overall perspective, let me first say that as the director, it&#039;s my responsibility to look after the content of the game to make sure it&#039;s fun, really exciting,&quot; he said. Then, smiling, he added, &quot;The product line-up, the SKUs (stock keeping units), how it&#039;s going on sale; that is the responsibility of the publishing team. So, my authority there is somewhat limited.&quot; Despite the &quot;pressure&quot; for disc-less editions and digital editions, Hamaguchi said he &quot;used my position to put forth an argument for the physical version as much as possible.&quot; That resulted in negotiations, &quot;both internally and with first parties,&quot; leading to Final Fantasy 7 Revelation&#039;s one-disc strategy. He added, &quot;I completely understand there are those out there who may not really agree with that direction or approve of that direction,&quot; but it&#039;s what he fought for, and it&#039;s the best result he could conjure. &quot;I completely understand there are those out there who may not really agree with that direction or approve of that direction,&quot; he said. &quot;But I would just say that I hope you understand that I completely see where you&#039;re coming from, and that I did my best.&quot; He added with a laugh, &quot;It is a very tricky subject.&quot; Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will release with a disc when it releases for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S April 8, 2027. Although its launch strategy hasn&#039;t pleased everyone, it&#039;s a date that will see it arrive months before PlayStation phases out physical releases for new PS5 games. Even after Rockstar signaled changing times when it announced a disc-less release for Grand Theft Auto 6, Sony&#039;s decision sent shockwaves through the industry. Gaming fans have expected an all-digital future to arrive at some point, but it seems to be here sooner than most expected. Elsewhere in the interview, Hamaguchi said he thinks &quot;physical media will remain in some form going forward,&quot; but it&#039;s impossible to deny that change is coming. &quot;But the PC market, for example, is going from strength to strength, and lots of people already purchase digital copies of games and just download them. &quot;So, I can see a world in the not-too-distant future where physical media is essentially disc-less. You would have a copy of the code on a piece of paper inside the physical box or something like that.&quot; For more on why the Square Enix team chose to approach Final Fantasy 7 Revelation&#039;s physical release the way it did, you can see Hamaguchi&#039;s explanation here. You can also read more about the director&#039;s love for physical media.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Anyone who has seen just how quickly Pokémon TCG packs sell out can tell you that these cards are incredibly popular. Despite this, the game isn&#039;t played by every member of its community. A large fraction of the Pokémon TCG&#039;s audience exclusively slot their cards into binders to collect, rather than shuffling them together to form a deck. The Pokémon Company is attempting to address this, with a new release designed to streamline the experience of playing competitively - the Deck Crafter&#039;s Collection 2026.

<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22827</link>

<description><![CDATA[  Michael Scofield is so central to Prison Break that imagining the series without him at the center of the story almost feels impossible. From the moment he deliberately gets himself incarcerated at Fox River, Michael&#039;s intelligence and meticulous planning, as well as his unwavering devotion to his brother Lincoln, are what define the show&#039;s success. His elaborate escape plan drives nearly every major development in the first season, while his relationships with characters like Sara, Sucre, T-Bag, and Mahone continue shaping the series long after the first breakout. ]]></description>

Introduced in Star Trek: Enterprise, Archer commanded the NX-01 during humanity&#039;s earliest years of deep-space exploration, helping establish relationships with species that would become central to the franchise for generations.

<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22818</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The silliest bird photography game in VR is coming to Steam next week.  Birdseed VR, a comical birdwatching and photography game, is coming to SteamVR on October 8. The SteamVR release will include cross play with Quest users, too.  For those who may not know about Birdseed VR, what you&#039;re getting is a cozy birdwatching and photography game in which you hang out in a charming little forest and photograph silly birds. The game has been out on Quest for some time. We reviewed it when it landed on that platform, describing it as a game that &quot;invites you to relax, slow down, and simply enjoy a peaceful slice of nature filled with charming, delightfully curious birds.&quot;  Birdseed VR left Early Access on Quest in April, adding new updates such as a Scout&#039;s Store in-game shop to buy camera skins, lenses, and charms, improvements to the game&#039;s multiplayer, and several new birds. We&#039;ll find out soon if the SteamVR release includes everything in the Quest build.  Birdseed VR is out now on Quest 3 and 3S. It&#039;s coming to SteamVR next week. ]]></description>

<title>Final Fantasy 7 Revelation lead says he pushed Square Enix for a physical version of the JRPG</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22814</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22814</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final entry in Square Enix&#039;s remake trilogy, will be available on disc when it launches on April 8, but the physical version comes with a massive caveat: unlike the two-disc Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Revelation will be a single disc and will only contain the opening parts of the game. You&#039;ll have to be connected to the internet to download and play the rest of the game. Naturally, this raises questions about the nature of physical media, entitlements, and whether the disc version of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation can fundamentally be considered physical media. And yet, director Naoki Hamaguchi wants you to know he really stuck his neck out to get the game on disc at all. Talking to Radio Times, Hamaguchi says he has fond memories of collecting physical games as a kid and will still buy discs when he&#039;s &quot;particularly attached to a title,&quot; but he ultimately sees &quot;a world in the not-too-distant future where physical media is essentially disc-less,&quot; adding that &quot;You would have a copy of the code on a piece of paper inside the physical box or something like that.&quot; That sort of thing already exists in things like Switch 2 game-key cards and some special editions, but it sounds like Hamaguchi thinks that&#039;ll be how all physical games work in the near future, which is kind of sad. Regardless, the veteran game developer says he &quot;really like[s] and appreciate[s] physical media,&quot; and acknowledges the &#039;no disc, no purchase&#039; movement that&#039;s happening on social media. &quot;And for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, we&#039;ve been able to preserve a physical edition. You can&#039;t play the entire game on that disc, but it&#039;s got the opening – a sort of key disc – and then after that, it will ask you to download the rest.&quot; Hamaguchi is keenly aware that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation&#039;s physical version hasn&#039;t exactly been a huge hit with fans, but he says that, despite his trying, the decision is largely out of his hands. &quot;I&#039;ve got people saying to me on social media, &#039;Give us a full disc version!&#039; And so, from an overall perspective, let me first say that as the director, it&#039;s my responsibility to look after the content of the game to make sure it&#039;s fun, really exciting. &quot;The product line-up, the SKUs (stock keeping units), how it&#039;s going on sale; that is the responsibility of the publishing team. So, my authority there is somewhat limited,&quot; says Hamaguchi.  (Image credit: Square Enix) Of course, this whole conversation is happening with a big contextual backdrop that is PlayStation&#039;s decision to stop producing physical games in 2028. Developers and publishers are also gradually moving toward digital-only games despite fervent opposition from physical media collectors and even game preservationists, but Hamaguchi says he &quot;did [his] best&quot; convincing Square Enix to give Final Fantasy 7 Revelation a physical release. &quot;In this day and age, as we&#039;ve been talking about, there&#039;s a lot of pressure for disc-less editions, digital editions, and I used my position to put forth an argument for the physical version as much as possible. &quot;And all of the negotiations, both internally and with first parties, have led us to where we are now, and of course, I completely understand there are those out there who may not really agree with that direction or approve of that direction.&quot; It is, as they say, what it is. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director says &quot;it wasn&#039;t easy&quot; not turning &quot;a masterpiece like FF7 into something that felt like my own personal fan project&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>End of Abyss (PC) Review</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22815</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22815</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Like many others, I was immediately interested in exploring End of Abyss’s dark and atmospheric setting after its reveal trailer teased an otherworldly adventure filled with creepy creatures and far fewer amounts of ammo. After playing through the game, I can’t argue that the game delivered on many of those expectations, but by trying to be a mix of Metroid and Limbo, End of Abyss fails to nail what both of those games do so well. Several cherished releases like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Metroid: Dread have helped not only keep the Metroidvania genre alive, but they have made the once niche genre more popular than ever. Like most original titles, End of Abyss borrows a lot from some of those beloved games to help create its own identity, but the pool that houses the game’s ideas rarely tips its toes into the deep end. The silent protagonist Cel is a technician tasked with joining a small team of soldiers and their captain as they explore a technologically advanced... Read more ]]></description>

<title>Former NFL Coach Mike Tomlin Is a Hardcore Minecraft Player, Reveals City He Took 12 Years to Build</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22813</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22813</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Former NFL coach Mike Tomlin spent 19 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers and won Super Bowl LXIII, and now he&#039;s added another major accomplishment to his resume: becoming a Minecraft YouTuber. The former coach gave football fans a little something different when he launched his new YouTube channel earlier this week. With a profile picture taken in front of NBC&#039;s Football Night in America logo, watchers probably weren&#039;t expecting Tomlin&#039;s first upload to see him confess how his love for architecture and family led him to work on a Minecraft city he spent 12 years building. &quot;You know, 12 or 13 years ago, when my kids were in middle school, they&#039;d be in their room all weekend and have friends over. They were obsessed with playing this game, Minecraft, that I knew nothing about,&quot; he explained as his son and channel operator, Dino, sat in the background. &quot;I got interested because I just was mesmerized by what could occupy their attention for such large periods of time.&quot; He admitted he lacked the &quot;stick control&quot; to handle something like Minecraft&#039;s Survival mode but still managed to find enjoyment in Creative Mode. That&#039;s where Mojang&#039;s systems really started to click. &quot;I like to build,&quot; he said. &quot;I&#039;ve always had an interest in architecture, and so forth, so I started doing this creative city. It was a means of spending time with them. They participated all over this city. All my kids have buildings.&quot; However, as his kids went off to high school and college, their interest in Minecraft waned. For Tomlin, it was just beginning. In 2026, after 12 years of building, the sandbox phenomenon has become therapeutic for the former NFL coach, and what he&#039;s built has the internet in disbelief. &quot;This is where it all started for me,&quot; Tomlin said as a blocky blue pond surrounded by detailed city buildings faded into view. His tour then begins with a closer look at a hotel. This one building features a fully fleshed-out interior with labeled rooms, a lobby, a ballroom, a pool, bathrooms, and more. Tomlin even factored in how lighting might affect the views in some of these rooms – and that&#039;s just one of many locations he&#039;s made. &quot;I was always inspired,&quot; he added. &quot;I&#039;d go places, and I&#039;d see things and buildings, and I get inspired, I go home, and I work on it.&quot; Tomlin then referenced the off-campus housing around universities that he recreated after dropping Dino off at college. The color, floor plans, and other memorable elements all came from these memories, with much of his creation also built around different bodies of water. Tomlin stepped down as the Steelers&#039; coach in January 2026, with today&#039;s video showing how he&#039;s spent at least some of the downtime since. He spent years in the NFL, but it&#039;s his work as a Minecraft YouTuber that has everyone talking today. Mike Tomlin has been working on his Minecraft world for over a decade It’s UNREAL https://t.co/XWxu9zMinY— Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) October 1, 2026 Aaron Rodgers: “CALL THE F*CKING PLAY!”Mike McCarthy: “F*cking asshole”*Loses to the Cleveland Browns*Meanwhile, Mike Tomlin: https://t.co/axnE3655rT— NFL Memes (@NFLMemes) October 2, 2026 Steelers down 20 in a playoff game.Mike Tomlin: https://t.co/J4u56digNW— Donny Football (@DonChed54) October 1, 2026 Mike Tomlin leaving the presser early to go finish building the Executive Spa in his Minecraft world https://t.co/yHF2FOzeiZ— ant ☘️ (@anthshiesty) October 1, 2026 &quot;I&#039;m obsessed why is he genuinely a better builder than me,&quot; content creator @Krtzyy said. &quot;Mike Tomlin becoming a Minecraft YouTuber was not on my bingo card for 2026,&quot; one X/Twitter user said. Tomlin signed off, promising to take a closer look at his city in future videos. He also teased plans to show off something that &quot;I think you&#039;re going to find interesting.&quot; Despite being maybe the most creative celebrity gamer to come out of 2026, the ex-NFL coach isn&#039;t the only notable name to share their love for gaming in the last year. Obsession breakout Inde Navarrette garnered attention for her The Last of Us and Call of Duty streams a few months ago. Newly announced X-Men star, Samara Weaving, is also a big gamer.

<title>Someone got Doom in an SQL database</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22799</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22799</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Rendering Doom in a database is obviously a bad idea,&quot; Lukas Vogel writes in a lengthy blog post explaining how exactly he managed to render Doom using an SQL database. OK, that&#039;s not entirely accurate. The SQLDoom project uses a small Python client to handle input and output, drive the game&#039;s timing, and display each frame to the screen. Behind that, a series of CedarDB tables tracks the game geometry and state, while about 1,300 lines of SQL queries spread across 89 common table expressions implement the game logic and generate 35 bitmap framebuffers per second. In this, SQLDoom is a major improvement over Vogel&#039;s previous DoomQL project, which last year set out to build &quot;a multiplayer Doom-like shooter entirely in SQL.&quot; Unfortunately, that effort ended up with raycasting-based, grayscale ASCII graphics that were more akin to the simplistic 90-degree-angled maps of Wolfenstein 3D. The newer SQLDoom, on the other hand, generates full-color 640x480 frames that look like they could have come from the original Doom executable. Read full article Comments ]]></description>

<title>WoW Forever dev says it was an &amp;quot;honor&amp;quot; to bring an old Make&amp;A&amp;Wish quest back in Blizzard&amp;apos;s new MMO</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22800</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22800</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  World of Warcraft: Forever is all about preserving the original, vanilla WoW experience as it was back in 2004, but there&#039;s one quest from 2007 that the MMO&#039;s community has been asking Blizzard to make an exception for, and now their wishes have been granted. For the uninitiated, the Kyle&#039;s Gone Missing quest was originally added to WoW during its Burning Crusade era from 2007. It was a Make-A-Wish request from a young player named Ezra &#039;Ephoenix&#039; Chatterton, who had been battling brain cancer at the time. Blizzard did the right thing and let Chatteron design and perform the voice lines for the quest, which tasks you with helping Chatteron&#039;s NPC, Ahab Wheathoof, find his dog. It&#039;s an absolutely adorable and extremely heartwarming quest, but as WoW Forever only includes content from the original 2004 release, Kyle&#039;s Gone Missing has been, well, missing from Blizzard&#039;s new MMO until now. Chatterton sadly lost his battle with cancer in 2008, but almost 20 years later, his memory is being honored in WoW Forever. Users on Blizzard&#039;s forum have been requesting that the quest to be added, and earlier this week a community manager indicated it was happening. Now, WoW Forever principal game designer Johnny Cash has confirmed in a tweet that Kyle&#039;s Gone Missing and Ahab Wheathoof have been added to the game in an emotional moment for the developer and anyone else who&#039;s familiar with Chatterton&#039;s story. &quot;I had the honor and privilege of bringing &#039;Kyle&#039;s Gone Missing!&#039; into WoW: Forever,&quot; says Cash. &quot;Ezra Chatterton was an enormous WoW fan, the creator and voice actor behind Ahab Wheathoof, and the creator of Kyle.  &quot;A tear was shed during this one, my friends. Rest in peace, Ezra.&quot; I had the honor and privilege of bringing &quot;Kyle&#039;s Gone Missing!&quot; into WoW: Forever. Ezra Chatterton was an enormous WoW fan, the creator and voice actor behind Ahab Wheathoof, and the creator of Kyle.A tear was shed during this one, my friends.Rest in peace, Ezra. pic.twitter.com/bV911HhodLOctober 2, 2026 If you want to take on Ezra&#039;s quest and help find his dog, you&#039;ll find the character in Bloodhoof Village in the Mulgore region, which is actually the starting zone if you&#039;re playing as a Tauren. I won&#039;t spoil anything about the quest itself if you&#039;ve yet to experience it, but you&#039;ll need to hit level 5 before you can start it. I&#039;m a lifelong MMO fan since the early days of Ultima Online and EverQuest, but WoW has always been a massive blind spot for me. I&#039;m being sincere when I say I&#039;m more compelled to dive in now than ever after researching and writing this story. It being the biggest MMO in the world, I&#039;m no stranger to issues like player toxicity, but it&#039;s hard not to be just a little bit won over by gestures like this. After 20 hours with World of Warcraft: Forever, I&#039;m convinced it gives old school fans nearly everything they could want [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Warlock devs eventually realized that &amp;quot;too powerful&amp;quot; D&amp;amp;D spells were the perfect starting point</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22802</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22802</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Warlock has quickly become one of the most exciting new games on the horizon, and it&#039;s not just because we&#039;re all thirsty for more Dungeons &amp; Dragons games after exhausting Baldur&#039;s Gate 3. The open-world action-adventure promises an extensive spell system that&#039;ll let you interact with the objects and enemies in some wild ways. Even the devs were initially worried that the game&#039;s spells were too OP, but as it turns out, that was the perfect starting point. &quot;There&#039;s this tendency on the dev team to go, &#039;That&#039;s too powerful,&#039;&quot; Invoke Studios head Dominic Guay says in Edge Magazine issue #429. &quot;At some point we had to say, &#039;No. Make it OP first, make it fun, and then we&#039;ll balance it.&#039;&quot; You can, for example, use Black Tentacles to tie an ogre&#039;s weapon to the ground, leaving it helpless as you start wailing on the monster. It&#039;s a powerful option in the toolbox, yes, but there are considerations for balance. Use Black Tentacles on the ogre itself, and the creature will break free much more quickly. You don&#039;t purely cast your spells from a list. Instead, different button combinations will bring out the spells you want. &quot;Once you get the hang of it, you&#039;re able to chain melee attacks, spell, spell, spell, and think on the fly,&quot; Guay explains. &quot;We always wanted that realtime expression of magic instead of something that feels a bit slower.&quot; Described like this, the spell system reminds me a bit of Magicka, an early title from eventual Helldivers developer Arrowhead Game Studios. There, you combine all sorts of different elemental abilities into spells with various effects. We don&#039;t yet have a great sense of how Warlock&#039;s system will work, but described in these terms it seems to have a similar spirit. &quot;The player will learn to be a warlock at the same time as the character,” Guay says, explaining that new spells will be unlocked over the course of the game. &quot;You&#039;ll gain more spells pretty fast on your journey, but you need that onboarding because we’re doing things differently on the controller than some other games.&quot; Warlock escapes Baldur&#039;s Gate 3&#039;s long shadow with a very different take on D&amp;D that I&#039;m happy to roll my dice on.

<title>Vibe&amp;Coded Mashup Mods Have Taken Over X This Week</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22803</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22803</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  I have spent the last three days scrolling through some of the most insane mod videos I&#039;ve ever seen. Modders are taking games that have been decompiled with Claude, and mashing them up with other games. As the week has gone on, there have only been more clips of these mods pouring out on X/Twitter.  One person created a mashup of World of Warcraft and Call of Duty: World at War; another combined Escape From Tarkov with Skyrim. There’s even one that takes Insomniac’s Spider-Man and combines it with Batman Arkham City, where the player is able to swing around Batman’s turf.  These mods are everywhere online right now, though they thankfully haven’t filtered into modding websites like Nexus Mods yet. But, with the sheer volume of these mods and with how accessible Opus 5.5 is, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before the gates are fully torn down. And if that happens, it could change the face of the modding scene entirely. Why Now? Claude Opus 5.5 launched last week, promising cheaper tokens and more efficient code work. I&#039;m sure that Anthropic meant for it to be used by professionals, but gamers have used it to create some of the weirdest mods I have ever seen. Opus is a model that can power AI agents, which can be deployed to create entire games from the engine, to the art and enemy behavior. Brendan Jowett has a great video on YouTube of the model in action: He develops little slices of video games and compares them directly with the same tasks from OpenAI’s Astra 6 model. While the results of both are far from what you’d expect from a fully featured game, Claude’s new model has clearly come a long way.  The problem with the examples in Jowett’s video is that while the models are good at piecing together disparate parts of a game, enemy AI (lol) and art assets are lackluster to say the least. In one of the slices, a space combat sim, the space fighter flys at a diagonal angle, while moving in a straight line ahead, and shooting. In another slice enemies completely ignore the player character.  As good as Claude Opus 5.5 seems to be, it’s still lightyears away from developing something like a true mashup of Minecraft and Elden Ring from scratch. But the model doesn’t have to start from scratch.  The big, driving force behind a lot of these mods is decompilation, where people are pointing Opus at a game and letting the agent break it down to its source code (here’s a handy blog if you want to really get in the weeds). Just earlier today, we covered Halo: Combat Evolved being decompiled and ported to run natively in a browser. Once that step is complete, it takes little effort to take that source code and work huge swaths of games into other games as mods, and with very little input from the user.  Couple that with the relatively affordable tokens, and it shouldn’t be surprising that X/Twitter’s generally pro-AI users went wild with it, creating hundreds of mashups. And it doesn’t seem like it’s slowing down any time soon; what started off as a weird video that my boss sent me on Tuesday has now evolved to the point where I can’t even open X/Twitter without seeing a deluge of these mods. Piracy? The obvious problem with all of this is that these models are breaking open games developed by real people, getting the source code and then just mashing stuff together without consideration or permission from the original developers. That’s nothing particularly new – the modding scene is definitely no stranger to mashups, all the Thomas the Tank Engine mods are proof of that. However, this trend might be breaking into new territory, thanks to decompilation.  This could be another reason none of these mods have made their way onto any distribution platforms. Nexus Mods doesn’t outright ban AI-generated content, but it doesn’t let people use AI tools to upload content that they don’t have the rights to.  In a blog post from 2023, Nexus laid out its rules around AI generated content. The policy states that, “In order to prevent any issues with your mods, we encourage you to avoid using these tools unless you have explicit permission to use all the assets. This is particularly true for AI-generated voice acting but also covers images, models, code and anything else that you can use this technology to create.” Every single one of these passthrough mods are using images, models, and code that the people generating them don’t have the rights to. But it’s only a matter of time until some platform holder allows these mods to be hosted, and I’m sure a massive legal battle will happen immediately afterwards.The Modding Community Hates This Way before all of these Claude-authored mod videos started cropping up online, people had been creating mods by hand for years, typically out of pure love for the game. It shouldn’t be surprising, then, that a lot of mod authors aren’t fans of this phenomenon.  Mod authors have been expressing their frustration on X/Twitter as this has been happening. “I mod games and I&#039;m not shy abou ]]></description>

<title>Disney Says Conversations About Buying Epic Games Are Not Happening &amp;apos;Right Now&amp;apos;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22798</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22798</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Disney has responded after rumors suggested it was interested in buying Fortnite developer Epic Games. Disney president and chief creative officer Dana Walden touched on the company&#039;s relationship with Epic during an interview with Bloomberg Live. When asked if there have been talks about expanding their previously established relationship with a full-on acquisition, she said that strategy isn&#039;t something Disney is entertaining, at least right now. &quot;Well, I think that it was pretty obvious that we had very serious conversations about an investment and an equity stake,&quot; Walden responded. &quot;Those are not the conversations we&#039;re having right now, but we have a great partnership and a number of launches coming up over the next two years that are going to demonstrate the value of this partnership.&quot; The relationship referenced here was solidified when Disney announced it acquired a $1.5 billion stake in Epic back in early 2024. It was a massive play that it promised would result in collaborations across Fortnite and more in the future. &quot;Our exciting new relationship with Epic Games will bring together Disney’s beloved brands and franchises with the hugely popular Fortnite in a transformational new games and entertainment universe,&quot; then-CEO Bob Iger said. &quot;This marks Disney’s biggest entry ever into the world of games and offers significant opportunities for growth and expansion. We can’t wait for fans to experience the Disney stories and worlds they love in groundbreaking new ways.&quot; We&#039;re still feeling the shockwaves of that deal, but some suspected it could evolve into more than a simple partnership. Tech reporter Alex Heath said in March 2026 that some Disney executives were &quot;waiting for that moment&quot; to go all in on an acquisition. Then, in April, Bloomberg reported that Epic was working on an extraction shooter featuring Disney characters with plans to launch in November 2026. We&#039;re now kicking off October with no official mention of that unannounced project, but that doesn&#039;t mean Disney x Epic is going anywhere any time soon. While an acquisition isn&#039;t in the cards, Walden&#039;s promise regarding &quot;a number of launches&quot; set to arrive in the next few years suggests there is plenty more to talk about. We&#039;ll have to wait and see how the two entertainment giants work together moving forward. In the meantime, you can read some of the other ways Disney and Epic have bolstered their relationship, including a Disneyland-exclusive Fortnite skin and officially licensed Star Wars minigames.  ]]></description>

<title>The Grounds &amp;amp; Clubs Developer Launch Update</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22787</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22787</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It’s been great to see players jump into The Grounds, meet other players, and spend time across the different in-world activities. So far, we’re seeing plenty of activity around small-sided football, including 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and In-World Rush. The early data is also highlighting some clear areas where we can improve. One of the biggest is Kickabouts. While small-sided football has been incredibly popular, that popularity has also made it harder for players to find enough people to start matches in some of the other activities around The Grounds. What We’re Hearing From YouWe’ve been monitoring your feedback closely, and there are a few topics that have come through particularly strongly.Winner Stays and Win StreaksWe’ve seen a lot of requests for a way for winners to stay on a pitch and build a streak. We’re already seeing players and streamers track their own streaks and create some fun competition around them, and we think there’s an opportunity to better support that directly in The Grounds. WIP imageWe’ve already begun exploring potential designs for this experience. We’ll share more details as our investigations lead to more concrete plans for updates to the game. Kickabout Matchmaking and QueueingWhen players get a Kickabout going, we’re hearing that the experience can be a lot of fun. The challenge right now is getting enough players together to start one. We know this can make some activities much harder to jump into than we want them to be, and there isn’t one single change that solves the problem. We’re looking at a few different approaches, including ways for players to signal that they need more people at a particular gameplay site, ways to connect players across servers while keeping them in the world experience, and scheduled Kickabout-focused events that could bring more players into these activities at the same time.Long-term Fatigue in Clubs 11v11We heard the feedback that infinite stamina could disproportionately benefit Clubs with more players compared to smaller Clubs. Based on this feedback, we’ve reintroduced long-term fatigue in Clubs in Title Update v1.0.1, and will be watching closely over the coming days to understand how the change feels in practice.Menu PerformanceMany of you have told us that menus within The Grounds can sometimes feel slow to load or unresponsive. We’re actively tracking this and continuing to look into where we can improve the experience.Other Quality-of-Life &amp; Live IssuesWe’re continuing to address issues as they are identified, investigated, and ready to release. Some current examples include:5-star skill moves not working in small-sided matches: A fix has been deployed.High ping in some cross-region Clubs matches: A fix has been deployed.Incorrect Archetype Point costs for certain upgrades: We are investigating.1v1 goalkeepers behaving erratically: We are investigating.Teleport access to Stadium and Clubhouse portals: We are testing a potential fix. 11v11 drop-in position preferred position not being applied correctly: We are testing a potential fix.Unable to open the world map while queued: We are testing a potential fix. Map input opening the Season Pass: We are testing a potential fix. This is only the beginning for The Grounds. We’re continuing to watch the data, listen to your feedback, and make improvements as more players spend time in the mode. Keep telling us what’s working, what isn’t, and what you’d like to see next. We’ll also be hosting a Grounds &amp; Clubs specific Q&amp;A in the Official EA SPORTS FC Discord, stay tuned for an official date and time announcement. You can also continue to share your FC 27 feedback through the Player Feedback Portal.. The FC Clubs &amp; The Grounds Development Team ]]></description>

<title>How to play NG+ in 007 First Light</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22783</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22783</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The first free DLC for 007 First Light has added New Game Plus options, meaning that players can go back into James Bond&#039;s adventure with elements that they may not have unlocked the first time around. However, what they can bring with them may be a little underwhelming: don&#039;t expect to be doing the tutorial with the Missile Pen, or driving the spy car before Q&#039;s finished building it. If you&#039;re considering playing NG+ in 007 First light, here&#039;s how it works and what you&#039;ll actually get.How to play 007 First Light NG+  (Image credit: IOI) To play New Game Plus in 007 First Light, simply reload any mission from the &quot;Select Chapter&quot; menu, after having completed the game. When the mission loads, you&#039;ll now be replaying it in the 007 First Light Outfit that you equipped from the &quot;Customisation&quot; option in the main menu, instead of the standard one you&#039;re normally wearing, as shown above. Yes, that&#039;s the other thing to mention: The only thing that carries into New Game Plus is your outfit choice, not any other equipment or abilities. NG+ is simply a way to replay missions in whatever clothing you want, with no option (currently) to bring 007 First Light gadgets and weapons from other parts of the game in with you. It&#039;s possible that the functionality of NG+ in 007 First Light will be expanded on in the future, but right now it&#039;s simply giving you the power to choose your wardrobe.  (Image credit: IOI) It&#039;s worth mentioning that the update and DLC also provides a new higher difficulty setting option called &quot;00&quot;, so while players don&#039;t have a huge leeway to customize their second playthrough, they are being given a greater challenge if they want it, not to mention expansions to the 007 First Light Tacsim and other features besides. © GamesRadar+.

<title>There are &amp;quot;all sorts of smart reasons&amp;quot; the League of Legends MMO shouldn&amp;apos;t be made, Riot boss says</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22784</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22784</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Riot Games&#039; League of Legends MMO has been a long time coming, with very little information actually shared about it, but studio co-founder Marc Merrill is still confident it&#039;s going to work despite thinking there are plenty of &quot;smart reasons as to why we shouldn&#039;t do what we&#039;re doing.&quot;  As spotted by PCGamesN, Merrill shares his latest thoughts on the MMO&#039;s challenges in a new episode of the Lemonade Stand podcast (below). Merrill is asked why he thinks the game can succeed when it&#039;ll be launching into a difficult space – one where die-hard MMO fans are generally older with less free time to spend on games, especially when other massive games like World of Warcraft exist and may well be eating up a bunch of their time already.  &quot;I don&#039;t disagree with a bunch of your concerns,&quot; Merrill admits. &quot;There&#039;s all sorts of smart reasons as to why we shouldn&#039;t do what we&#039;re doing.&quot; …It&#039;s not the sort of statement that&#039;d fill worried fans with confidence, let&#039;s face it.  &quot;MMOs are insane,&quot; he continues. &quot;The scope, the expectations, the challenge… the argument that they&#039;re niche, all these different types of things. But there are lots of decisions you can make in terms of how to approach it.&quot;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3dxxe1ozJXY?start=2550 One thing going in Riot&#039;s favor, Merrill suggests, is the dedicated fanbase that the League universe has accumulated. &quot;We&#039;ve been building this world of Runeterra for 20 years, and pouring our hearts and soul into it, and there&#039;s an awful lot of players around the world that have developed [a] deep affinity and love for these characters, this world, for our factions,&quot; he says. &quot;And that fandom is expressed in so many ways, through League, and through Riftbound, and through all these other things that we&#039;re doing, all of our great games… People want to live in that world, and we want to deliver the ability for people to do that.&quot; Riot &quot;didn&#039;t want to even try to go take on this sort of insane space until we had a global fanbase of hundreds of millions of people,&quot; in addition to &quot;great revenue streams,&quot; a strong team, and plenty more, he adds.  The studio has all that now, Merrill suggests, but that&#039;s not to say making the MMO is straightforward. &quot;The challenge is around, can we do justice [to the IP], and if so, how?&quot; he explains. &quot;It&#039;s a mistake to try to make absolutely something for everybody, because, like we just talked about, you often end up making something for nobody by trying to make it too watered down.&quot; Merrill isn&#039;t afraid to reiterate that &quot;there are some really hard problems,&quot; but he reckons they&#039;re the sort of problems that are worth getting &quot;out of bed for every day&quot; to solve. In fact, he says, everything he&#039;s helped build up to now – from League of Legends, Riot itself, to the Arcane TV show – &quot;all felt crazy and stupid&quot; at the time.  Despite his confidence, you can understand fans feeling a little bit cautious about the whole thing. In August, it was announced that League of Legends fighting game 2XKO is ending active development in December… after its full console launch in January. At the time, Riot explained that &quot;we haven&#039;t seen enough players stick with the game to get to a path toward sustainability,&quot; and ultimately couldn&#039;t see &quot;any viable future.&quot; Let&#039;s just hope the MMO doesn&#039;t meet the same fate whenever it eventually launches.  League of Legends MMO is Riot&#039;s &quot;Grail quest&quot; and &quot;many a brave knight are going to die,&quot; boss says, but fans aren&#039;t confident after 2XKO&#039;s fate: &quot;Hope this time you don&#039;t cancel it.&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Warhorse COO wants GTA 6 to set a new $80 price standard for triple&amp;A games</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22785</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22785</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The COO of Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer, Warhorse, says he hopes Grand Theft Auto 6 ‘blazes the trail’ for other triple-A video games to raise their prices. Like many Nintendo releases, GTA 6 will launch at the higher price point of $80 when it finally releases next month – and according to Rockstar parent Take-Two, its more expensive $100 edition is its top seller. Warhorse co-founder Martin Klima told PC Gamer in a recent interview that even though the Grand Theft Auto series “doesn’t appeal to me at all,” he hopes it performs well so that other developers can benefit from its pricing precedent.

<title>Star Wars: Galactic Racer Metacritic score makes it one of the best&amp;rated Star Wars games ever</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22781</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22781</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Star Wars: Galactic Racer&#039;s Metacritic score is one of the highest ever for a Star Wars game, beating out the Cal Kestis-led Jedi games and every Battlefront.  Star Wars: Galactic Racer reviews are in, and it turns out the critics yearn for Glup Shitto&#039;s and podracing-adjacent motorsports in the Star Wars realm. Over on Metacritic, the game has nabbed a score of 88 after 50 reviews, which places it as the fifth-best rated Star Wars game – alongside Star Wars-themed tables for Pinball FX and ZEN Pinball, which share the score.  It&#039;s behind Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Forces 2, Rogue Squadron 2, and Jedi Outcast. This score also gives it a higher rating than every Star Wars film aside from the original too, for what it&#039;s worth.  In GamesRadar+&#039;s Star Wars: Galactic Racer review, guides editor Will Sawyer awarded the game four stars out of five, saying, &quot;Star Wars: Galactic Racer brings the carnage-filled arcade racing of the 2000s into the modern day, with slick and exhilarating high-speed racing that mixes perfectly with a run-based format and roguelike elements.&quot;  Elsewhere the game has garnered high praise with full marks from the likes of Eurogamer, Mirror Gaming, Giant Bomb, and Radio Times all giving the game five stars, while the rest of the reviews are considered &quot;Positive&quot; with two 7/10 scores and a 68/100, which is still pretty good going.  If anything, in an era where Star Wars in film has been dropping the ball for a while now, and some of the TV series have been real stinkers (and the good ones have been canceled), Zero Company and now Galactic Racer have at least got your back if you want something good from the franchise. Of course, if the game had a way to romance Ben Quadinaros and featured some steamy scenes with the podracing legend, I reckon we&#039;d have seen the highest-rated game in history.  Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a &quot;sports movie&quot; story set after Return of the Jedi because it mirrors the real-life post-WW2 motorsports boom. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>The Witcher 3 mod swaps every single Griffin with the iconic low&amp;poly pigeon: &amp;quot;He is back&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22782</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22782</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  You know the iconic low-poly pigeon from The Witcher 3? The one that became a running joke in the community, and miraculously made it in the remaster? They&#039;re taking over the whole damn RPG, thanks to some modders who&#039;re dedicated to low-poly supremacy. Bit of backstory, if you&#039;re not clued in: there&#039;s a bird in The Witcher 3 with distinctly anachronistic textures. Where most everything else in the fantasy world is gorgeous and smooth and well-rendered, this feathered NPC is angular and blocky, as if they just migrated over from Primal on the PS2. Needless to say, players fell in love, and it&#039;s managed to survive the 11 years since without being changed by CD Projekt Red. It even escaped a do-over when the devs put together the substantial upgrade in the new remaster, because it&#039;s our blocky pigeon now, and we love them.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/OlmuIckOX0c But it doesn&#039;t have any low-poly friends. Being one of one is a lonely existence, just ask Gonzo in Muppets From Space. Well, a mod fixes this. &quot;He is back. And he is tired of being ridiculed,&quot; starts the description for Low-Poly Pigeon - The Revenge, which transforms every Griffin on Geralt of Rivia&#039;s sprawling adventure into smaller and more rectangular animals. &quot;Every Griffin encounter, every hunt and every supposedly terrifying aerial attack is now carried out by the same bird you once laughed at,&quot; writes modder grapedia. &quot;Their sounds have also been replaced with pigeon cooing, so they will calmly announce their arrival before trying to kill you.&quot; Incredible, terrifying, and beautiful, all at once. &quot;He could not fight back on the internet,&quot; grapedia continues. &quot;He could not stop the memes. But here, in the Northern Realms, things are different. The pigeon finally has claws, wings, several thousand hit points and absolutely nothing left to lose.&quot; This is his game now, we&#039;re just playing through it. And just like that, I&#039;m overcome with an urge to start a new save in the remaster. Never underestimate the power of a cute bird. &quot;We&#039;re working on it&quot;: The Witcher 3 Remastered gets 2 hotfixes in 1 day as CD Projekt Red promises more improvements to the RPG amid ongoing performance issues [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Eldrem Kingdoms: The Creature‑Collecting RPG Made from Indie Aspirations</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22779</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22779</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Eldrem Kingdoms is a title I hadn’t heard of until it popped into my inbox, but it seems to have picked up momentum fast! With a successful Kickstarter just finishing up, nearly 300 people tripled Eldrem Studios’ $24,000 goal. The company is made up of a team of developers with both indie and AAA experience guiding the way to this success. Here is a little about the game, directly from their Kickstarter page:  “Explore the Crystal Sky Islands, hunt strange beasts, weaken them, and attempt to tame them. Each creature you capture becomes more than a companion: when summoned, it fights beside you and grants you its unique active abilities and passive powers. Build a roster of creatures with different elements, strengths, and combat roles, then switch between them depending on the challenge ahead. Think of your creature team like a living deck of cards, except your cards can breathe fire, summon lightning, or take to the skies.” Eldrem Studios is building a... Read more ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  The producer of the Dynasty Warriors series says he’d rather not keep making remasters, even though he knows they will likely keep continuing if they’re successful. Tomohiko Sho joined Koei in the ’90s and was a planner on Dynasty Warriors 2 – the first game in the series to offer the ‘one vs many’ hack and slash gameplay the series has become known for (the first Dynasty Warriors was a one-on-one fighting game instead). Since then, he’s been involved in every major entry in the Dynasty Warriors series, working his way up to the role of series producer. Read More... ]]></description>

<title>Preliminary Notice: Oct. 8th Mobile Platform Optimization Update</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22760</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22760</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hello, this is Project Moon.With Ver. 1.116.2 Scheduled Update, which will be deployed on Oct. 8th, 12:00 (KST), we will be implementing the following memory-related optimizations.Please refer to the information below.■ Improvements1. Main Story Chapter 10 -  Combat / visual effects resource optimization - We have improved the compression method for resources in Shadowed combat, characters, E.G.O, and various other resources. - The affected resources will still maintain the same resolution, so it will not affect the effective visual quality.2. Resource reset after unique cinematic and combat resources are used - We have identified and fixed an issue where certain unique visual resources in Main Story Chapter 10 -  carry over to the following scenes. - We have identified and fixed an issue where relevant cinematic resources after finishing an Encounter in the Shadowed would carry over to the next battle Encounter.3. Unnecessary resource loading removed - We have identified and fixed an issue where certain combat visual resources were being loaded in scenes where they weren&#039;t used.■ Expected Results ※ These are based on the results from our internal iOS testing device with 4GB of available RAM for application usage.- Memory usage when continuously playing the latter part of  will be reduced by up to approximately 15%. (Based on our internal 4GB RAM testing device, these changes reduce memory usage by approximately 300MB)- We expect this to reduce crashing instances in the affected sections.The same optimization processes will be applied to AOS devices as well, and we expect this to reduce the crashing frequency by reducing the total amount of memory usage.However, please note that results may vary depending on your device&#039;s conditions &amp; active background processes.■ Additional Information- Please note that this improvement does not guarantee that crashes won&#039;t occur in certain Encounters on devices with 4GB RAM.   We are currently implementing further optimization solutions, and will inform you as soon as they are applied.- If the game continues to crash repeatedly, it may help to try again after closing all other applications.- If the issue persists, please submit a customer service ticket with the following information included: Your device model, the area in the game where the crash occurs, and a screenshot to help us identify the exact issue.We will continue to implement optimization solutions to improve stability on mobile platforms.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. ]]></description>

<title>I&amp;apos;ve spent seven hours exploring the Steam Autumn Sale, and these are the 10 best games on discount I&amp;apos;d recommend picking up while you still can</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22761</link>

<description><![CDATA[  2026 has been one of the most expensive years for gamers yet, so finding the best Steam Autumn Sale games is serious business. With hardware and game prices at record highs, Valve&#039;s discounts feel especially necessary right now, when it comes to grabbing both new games and stone-cold PC classics for your libraries. However, let&#039;s be honest, Steam sales can get overwhelming as you try to navigate through a sea of green tags, trying to sway you with savings that may actually not be as big of bargains as they first appear to be. There are also only seven days to make the most of the Autumn sale, with the event ending on October 8. Basically, it&#039;s easy to get stressed out and overstimulated when it comes to filling your cart, but that is where this guide comes in handy.  Below, I&#039;ve explored the Steam store for over seven hours and have rounded up the best deals that are currently on offer. I have found savings on some of the acclaimed icons, genre darlings, and a few indies as well, so hopefully you&#039;ll find one or two of the best Steam games highlighted that entice you. But if all else fails, this ranking will at least give you a starting point on where to start spending cash. The best Steam Autumn Sale games, starting with…Arc Raiders   (Image credit: Embark Studios) Release: October 30, 2025Developer: Embark StudiosPrice: $19.99 / £17.49 Genre: Extraction shooter At $20, Arc Raiders is the cheapest it&#039;s ever been. That&#039;s a generously low price for what Arc Raiders offers: a multiplayer shooter where players raid the Earth&#039;s post-apocalyptic surface for gear and supplies, facing each other and swarms of robots before scurrying to extract with their loot. As an extraction shooter, Arc Raiders is certainly the most accessible – a great deal of players are more than happy to team up top-side for better odds of survival. And with Arc Raiders&#039; Frozen Trail update just around the corner, now is an excellent jumping-in point as new and lapsed players alike prepare for a wintry new map.  Get the Arc Raiders deal hereThe Outlast Trials  (Image credit: Red Barrels) Release: March 5, 2024Developer: Red BarrelsPrice: $3.99/ £3.35Genre: Multiplayer horror  October means spooky season, and there is no better way to celebrate that fact than by picking up (in my opinion) the best multiplayer horror game out there right now. The Outlast Trials is now discounted at a record-low 90%, which is a massive deal since it is thoroughly fantastic. Acting as a prequel to Outlast and Outlast 2, you and a group of friends are test subjects who have to survive terrifying trials in order to escape and achieve &quot;Rebirth&quot;. The game is gnarly but still tongue and cheek with some great villains. Also, it regularly has events, and the community is very welcoming to newbies. Trust me, you are in for a great time with this one.  Get The Outlast Trials deal hereFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade  (Image credit: Square Enix) Release: June 17, 2022Developer: Square EnixPrice: $9.99/ £8.74Genre: JRPG As we get ready for Final Fantasy 7: Revelation releasing next year, you can now pick up the very first chapter of the trilogy for a record-breaking 75% discount. Not only do you need to play this game if you want to make sense of Cloud&#039;s story, but it is also a fantastic title that runs great on the Steam Deck too. If you are a bit weary of JRPGs, I will say that this is a great entry point into the genre as well. Not only is the combat system fast and fun, but the story around Cloud and the Shinra Electric Power Company is amazing and feels straight out of a high-budget sci-fi movie. This is one of the best action RPGs of all time for a reason, and it being now under $10 is just the cherry on top. Get the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade deal hereTotal War: Warhammer 3  (Image credit: Creative Assembly) Release: February 17, 2022Developer: Creative AssemblyPrice: £7.49 / $8.99Genre: Strategy Total War: Warhammer 3 is the best it&#039;s ever been right now – and the cheapest, too. The 85% discount arrives just weeks after the hybrid strategy game (turn-based campaign, real-time battles) received its biggest update to date, overhauling the empire-building Immortal Empires sandbox with apocalyptic End Times scenarios. That&#039;s alongside an excellent Lords of the End Times DLC, which adds four new Legendary Lords – including one arch-necromancer this humble editor has spent years begging for. There&#039;s a faction for everyone, whether you want to build battle-hardened empires as mankind, raise mountain fortresses as dwarves, or unleash undead hordes across the land.

<title>Nivalis Nights &amp; Update #2</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22763</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22763</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hi citizens of Nivalis Nights, As promised, we&#039;re back with another update! Following yesterday&#039;s patch, this one brings further performance improvements and fixes for more of the bugs you&#039;ve flagged. We can&#039;t thank you enough for all the feedback, suggestions and bug reports you&#039;ve been sending our way. They&#039;re genuinely shaping where we focus next, and we&#039;re doing our best to keep them coming as regularly as possible, especially around performance, while we keep a close eye on how you&#039;re experiencing the city. Here are the patch notes: Fixed blurry newspaper in the Hive Mall Decorative furniture with a configured storage or refrigerated storage value will now correctly count towards the venue&#039;s storage space Improved the display of skipped dialogue lines without a choice Replaced the treasure fishing spots icon to make it less confusing Configured the Kitchen Buffet as a storage unit holding 100 normal storage space and 50 refrigerated storage space Fixed cleanup icon display for the Large Sink Fixed an exception where cleaning a piece of trash already cleaned by a staff character could get the player stuck Fixed the counters at Odin&#039;s Pub Character optimizations (reduced bone weights on lower LODs) Older ingredients are now used first for mealmaking. This reduces the amount of rotten food generated, but might at the same time increase the chance of reducing the food freshness aspect of your customer reviews Your staff will now prioritise tasks in the following order:  Serve a meal Process ingredient Make meal at Food Processor or Drink Machine Take new order Deliver ingredients (Manager role) Buy ingredients (Manager role) Manage complaint (Manager role) Cleanup meal Cleanup trash (Cleaner role) Cleanup storage (Cleaner role) This encourages specialization. Single staff venues will likely leave many customers unserved if there are too many seats. Improved stability of fishing rod physics When overwriting an existing save, the previously existing save is no longer lost in case of an unexpected crash Graphic Settings: added a validation popup to confirm texture quality changes (a slow operation), along with a progress popup while textures are being reloaded Graphic Settings: removed the Low setting for texture quality (players using Low quality will automatically be upgraded to Medium) Graphic Settings: the game window is no longer moved to another, smaller monitor when changing game resolution Graphic Settings: fixed a case where resolution would not be properly applied Graphic Settings: fixed a case where &quot;Reset to preset&quot; buttons were unnecessarily displayed Performance: Implemented a light culling system to help improve performance. In the graphic settings, you&#039;ll find a new slider called &quot;Lighting Details&quot;, which defines how many lights can be active at the same time within your field of view. With the slider all the way to the right, there&#039;s no culling at all; reducing it will deactivate lights based on distance. We&#039;ll continue to improve this system over time Fixed the location of trash bins for venues in Central Canyon, which were previously quite far from the player-ownable venues there. This will improve manager and cleaner behaviour in this area Fixed crowd characters going out of navmesh bounds/level geometry during dialogueVarious other bug fixes and improvementsKnown Issue: We have discovered that fast travel to certain locations can affect performance for some systems. If you do encounter performance-related issues after fast travelling, as a workaround, you can save after arriving at the new destination and reload that save, which should then reset the performance. Thank you for your patience, and we are already working towards a fix for this.We are investigating an issue where, in some instances, staff can get &quot;stuck&quot; - we think this may be tied to the number of &quot;idle positions&quot; that we have set for idle staff. As a workaround, we would recommend trying to reduce the number of hired staff at a venue, which can reduce the likelihood of this happening. ]]></description>

<title>Person Behind Viral AI&amp;Generated Fallout: New York Game Hauls It Offline, Says Bethesda Issued Cease and Desist</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22738</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22738</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The person behind a viral AI-generated Fallout: New York game has pulled it offline after receiving a cease and desist from Bethesda. Earlier this week, a self-styled “AI creative” known as “CHRIS FIRST” on X / Twitter published a video of Fallout: New York, a game built by Claude Opus 5.5 and made playable in a browser. It included quests, companions, dialogue trees, Fallout’s iconic V.A.T.S. combat and even a working Pip-Boy. Fallout: New York, a full Fallout game you play in your browser, built with Claude Opus 5.5.Quests. Dialogue trees. V.A.T.S. A working Pip-Boy.Zero texture files. Zero sound files. Every building, weapon, face and sound is generated by code. https://t.co/58Vls0mOYx— CHRIS FIRST (@chrisfirst) September 28, 2026 The initial video, viewed 3.5 million times on X / Twitter, sparked a debate about the rights and wrongs of CHRIS FIRST’s use of AI, with some calling the game AI slop, and others impressed by the gameplay. As you’d expect, many responded to the video to predict that Bethesda would eventually step in, although CHRIS FIRST seemed somewhat naive to the situation. “It’s all free and I make 0 money on it,” he tweeted. “I hope they don’t ask me to take it down. I really love Fallout and this was just a fun tech demo. But I should add a quest where you have to serve someone papers, but they keep running away.” The inevitable now appears to have happened. CHRIS FIRST published an image of what looks like an official cease and desist from Bethesda parent company, ZeniMax Media Inc, which points to trademark infringement for the use of the &#039;fallout.nyc&#039; domain name, as well as its use of copyrighted material. IGN has asked Microsoft for comment. CHRIS FIRST, meanwhile, remained defiant in his post even as he confirmed the removal of the game. “Hey, @BethesdaStudios,” they said, “how about you make a Fallout game instead so I don’t have to? Sorry to everyone who enjoyed the game! But the suits got involved and the fun is over.” No-one is particularly surprised by Bethesda’s action here. “Dude this game was ass and didn’t even look like Fallout,” one person said. “I don’t know why you tried to cash in on their IP lmao. They had every right to C and D you.” “How about you make some original game instead of copying existing one?” another person suggested. “Like no one saw this coming from a mile away. Ppl can&#039;t expect to rip off an IP and not get dmca&#039;d,” another said. One person commented: “Everything ur AI game did was already done before In Fallout just mixed around. No new mechanics or innovation.” “Wow it’s almost like stealing is bad,” another said. “Not sure what you expected with your AI trash,” one person declared. &quot;I would genuinely rather play Fallout Tactics than this AI generated garbage,&quot; another said. &quot;Everyone liked that,&quot; Karl Schecht, aka professional 3D and technical artist and YouTuber Kommander Karl, said. This week has seen a number of viral clips of AI-generated “game-merging mods” in which Minecraft is fused with other famous games in what is a growing and controversial trend. One such video, which shows Minecraft copied into Elden Ring, was viewed 22 million times on X / Twitter. I put the entire of game minecraft into elden ring as mod. its runs on Mac. https://t.co/CojefjxtLn— Anime Girl Worshiper (@TobynJacobs) September 29, 2026 This in turn has sparked a significant debate about the legality around AI-generated clones and these “game-merging mods,” with some wondering if publishers will step in to take action or push for guardrails that prevent their creation within the AI models themselves. One person has released an AI-generated Splatoon clone, which some believe Nintendo will take a look at sooner rather than later. Another person merged Mario with Elden Ring. so long, gay margit https://t.co/W96dFvpjYI https://t.co/pTTodFIq9v— Deltaroo Δ (@Deltaroo3D) September 30, 2026 As the debate over AI-generated games rages on, video game publishers will be desperate to keep a tight leash on their franchises. AI is making what was traditionally a painstaking process of reverse-engineering and recompilation significantly faster, which has prompted some to wonder about the future of commercial video game development. Why buy a Switch 2 if you can have AI generate a clone of one of Nintendo&#039;s exclusives? Others, though, have pointed out that none of these game-merging mods or clones display any creativity or present any new ideas, rather take existing popular video games and either mash them together or simply replicate what is already playable better elsewhere. Bethesda is of course working on a number of official Fallout games, including Fallout 5, Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters, and a spinoff from Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment. None has a release window, although new Xbox boss Asha Sharma has talked about wanting to double down on the company&#039;s biggest franchises, including Fallout.  ]]></description>

<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22726</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22726</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hello! We just pushed an update for the following:✅ FIXED:ALTERUnreliable tac and ult usage near large moving structures????️ ADJUSTED:AXLEPassive:Sliding lateral control nerfed by 50% (making it harder to maintain slide momentum while tightly cornering)Tactical:Sliding lateral control nerfed by 25% for Nitro Gate usersAim assist is disabled for players under the effect of the Nitro GateNerfed Nitro Gate initial push speed to 650 from 700Ultimate:If the Kickstart drone locks on immediately after being deployed, the resulting knock-up is significantly decreasedNerfed max knock-up magnitude to 650 from 700Nerfed max drone chase time to 8s from 10s (meaning it&#039;ll give-up on an active chase 2s sooner)WILDCARD: We are continuing to track community feedback regarding Apex KO and are making a few additional tuning changes to address player painpoints.Reduced Fighter&#039;s Defense from 55% damage reduction to 50%Dev Note : We&#039;re still seeing that fighters are difficult to take down in a 1v1 Gun vs Fighter combat situation. This change will give players using guns a bit more damage when encountering a charging fighter. We&#039;ll continue to keep an eye on fighter combat performance.Reduced the max number of Ult charges for Ryu, Chun-Li and Dhalsim from 3 to 2Dev Note : We&#039;ve been seeing situations where fighters are able to cast multiple Ultimate abilities in a row to completely decimate enemy teams without reasonable time for those teams to respond. Without changing the rate at which Fighters accumulate their Ultimate meter or their damage output, we&#039;ve reduced the total number of stored ultimate for these fighters by 1.Enabled passive Fight Gauge regen when not in Fighter Form and below 1 pip of Fight GaugeDev Note : We&#039;ve observed potential droughts of Fight Gauge Tokens mid-match as K.O.

<title>18 Years Ago, Pokémon Officially Replaced Mewtwo</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22727</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22727</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  First introduced in Pokémon&#039;s beloved Generation 1, the Legendary Mewtwo was created through genetic experimentation using DNA from the Mythical Pokémon, Mew, resulting in a devastatingly powerful creature that quickly became one of the franchise&#039;s most recognizable Mon. Its unsettling origin helped distinguish Mewtwo from Pokémon that existed &quot;naturally&quot; within the world, giving it a somewhat tragic backstory and establishing a complicated relationship with humanity. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Backrooms has grown from an unsettling piece of internet folklore into one of modern horror&#039;s most unlikely success stories. The concept originated with an anonymous 2019 post depicting an eerie, yellow-tinted space seemingly disconnected from reality, before filmmaker Kane Parsons dramatically expanded its mythology with his viral Backrooms found-footage series on YouTube. ]]></description>

<title>Doom: The Dark Ages &amp; Revelations Getting New &amp;apos;Slaughter Mode&amp;apos; as Free Update Next Month</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22707</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22707</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Doom: The Dark Ages developer id Software has announced a new free update coming to the first-person shooter&#039;s Revelations DLC next month: an endless single-player &quot;Slaughter Mode.&quot;  As announced on today&#039;s Slayers Club Live livestream with Doom: The Dark Ages game director Hugo Martin, Slaughter Mode will be &quot;an endless single player mode where players fight through escalating demon waves across multiple arenas, earning cosmetics and their personal best in round/score.&quot; Though id didn&#039;t give a specific launch date for the Slaughter Mode update, we can probably rule out November 19! And if you haven&#039;t played the stellar The Dark Ages yet, or its excellent expansion, Revelations, now&#039;s the time!  Fortunately, id Software carries on after layoffs hit the studio earlier this year, which prompted id co-founders John Romero and John Carmack to each separately comment on the staff reductions, which in turn prompted a response from both the studio and Martin himself. ]]></description>

<title>Final Fantasy 7 Revelation lead tried hard not to turn the series into his &amp;quot;personal fan project&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22711</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22711</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Final Fantasy 7 feels both like a time capsule from the late &#039;90s and a timeless story about corporate greed and its negative impact on the environment, and the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is set to tie the knot on the remake trilogy&#039;s modern retelling. So far, the story has stayed largely faithful to the original game, and series boss Naoki Hamaguchi  In Edge Magazine issue 429, Hamaguchi says it hasn&#039;t been easy remaking a game as beloved as Final Fantasy 7 as three separate entries while staying true to the spirit of the original. &quot;We haven&#039;t altered the core of the story based on reactions at any given time. It feels as though we&#039;ve built up each title one by one without wavering from the central theme we established at the very start of the Remake series,&quot; Hamaguchi says. &quot;It wasn&#039;t easy. I felt it was absolutely essential to avoid turning a masterpiece like FF7 into something that felt like my own personal fan project.&quot; Of course, the Final Fantasy 7 remakes aren&#039;t without their creative liberties, even introducing a meta narrative device to make major changes to the original story via the Whisper entities. Hamaguchi says the development team didn&#039;t struggle with individual alterations; rather, they struggled with the remake series&#039; whole identity among the Final Fantasy pantheon.  &quot;The real challenge wasn&#039;t simply incorporating elements that differed from the original or introducing new interpretations. It was constantly asking ourselves whether what we were creating could truly be called FF7R,&quot; says Hamaguchi. With Final Fantasy 7 Revelation due out April 8, 2027, you still have plenty of time to catch up on the story as told before the sequel picks up, whether that&#039;s a replay of Remake and Rebirth or the original 1997 JRPG. Hamaguchi himself recently told GamesRadar+ that the original story &quot;is very much enshrined within the story [and] the narrative of the Remake series as a thing in the world,&quot; but that newcomers can also jump right into the remakes and still have a great old time. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation battle lead still doesn&#039;t know the &quot;correct&quot; way to balance between real-time and turn-based combat, but that&#039;s why he&#039;s not &quot;tired&quot; of working on the trilogy [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Sony Brings AI Upscaling To The Standard PS5 With QSSR</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22693</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22693</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Sony is bringing a taste of PS5 Pro image quality to the standard PS5 with QSSR, a lighter AI upscaling technology built to run on the base console. Since the launch of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on the PS5 Pro, there has been a lingering question about whether the base PS5 could achieve something similar. Sony Interactive Entertainment answered that question today, announcing Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), a new tier of AI upscaling built specifically for the PS5. From the looks of things, it could make a lot of players very happy. Coming out of Project Amethyst, Sony’s AI graphics collaboration with AMD, QSSR is a leaner evolution of PSSR that pairs a more efficient neural network architecture with a hand-tuned implementation designed to get the most out of PS5 hardware. PSSR, which analyzes game images pixel by pixel and uses AI to upscale them, was previously too computationally demanding for the base console. While it remains the more advanced...

<description><![CDATA[  The Talos Principle 2, my favorite puzzle game, is $3 during the Steam Autumn Sale. Croteam&#039;s Talos Principle sequel went underappreciated in 2023, which is wild, because this series is like if Aperture Labs dumped its entire warehouse of esoteric gizmos into the player&#039;s lap to tackle increasingly weird spatial conundrums.

<title>Riot Games Co&amp;Founder Says 2XKO Needed ‘Hundreds of Thousands, if Not Millions’ of Monthly Active Players to Survive</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22685</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22685</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The co-founder, co-chairman, and chief product officer of Riot Games, Marc Merrill, revealed the number of monthly active users 2XKO would have needed to justify its budget, and the eye-popping amount has sparked an animated debate within the fighting game community. Speaking on The Lemonade Stand, Merrill went into detail about what happened behind the scenes at Riot to cause 2XKO’s catastrophic failure, and provided a ballpark figure of monthly active users the game would have needed in order to justify how much money and time was spent on its development. It’s no surprise that this figure was, to put it lightly, pretty unrealistic for a fighting game; Merrill said that, considering its cost structure, 2XKO would have needed a player count “in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions” to rationalize its continued support. Merrill also mentioned Street Fighter 6, saying the 2023 release of Capcom’s juggernaut title threw off their plans to take a big chunk of the fighting game community’s interest off the back of Street Fighter V. “I think we had a window to do some great things to really help the fighting game community, and then Street Fighter 6 came out, which was something like eight years after we started working on 2XKO,” Merrill explained. “We had an awesome development team of really talented people that did great work, that made a beautiful game. We’d already communicated all this stuff to players, and so we were like, ‘You know what? Let’s just keep going. Let’s give it to the community. Let’s see what happens, right?’ …I think if we came out, ideally when we should’ve, years before Street Fighter, I think we would have made a really significant impact on the community.” Merrill explained that Riot didn’t have internal “alignment” on the strategy for 2XKO, which caused “managerial fracturing” and confusion within the team. Ultimately, not enough players hopped on the game in order to justify the time and money spent on it, so Riot did what they thought was best — issued full refunds to players and canceled further content updates. “We’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves,” he said. “[2XKO] resonated with some players, but not nearly enough players in order to justify the sort of live service, long-tail approach that the game was designed to do. And so we were like, let’s just pivot, let’s create this box, give everybody a refund, say, ‘Hey, sorry we weren&#039;t able to achieve this incredibly high aspiration that we were trying to do for the fighting game community, but we love you guys, appreciate [you], hope they’ll play this game, like many other box games, for years to come, and here you go. Sorry we let you down,’ is sort of the orientation of what happened there.” For comparison, Street Fighter 6 — which is indisputably the biggest fighting game on the market right now — boasts an average of anywhere between 16,000 and 20,000 monthly active users on Steam (not including PlayStation, which doesn&#039;t share these statistics publicly). It’s understandable that Riot, the maker of massively popular MOBA League of Legends, might expect more than that — but even Riot themselves knew there was no way they could reach “millions” of monthly active users to justify keeping their tag fighter alive. Unsurprisingly, Merrill’s comments have sparked a swath of heated reactions within the fighting game community. Most players were left stunned that Riot felt such a high player count was necessary to keep 2XKO afloat, given how relatively &quot;niche&quot; the genre is. “It seems like they figured the game wasn&#039;t going to last long, but they spent so much money on it, so instead of immediately canning it, they released it to see if it would do anything,” one player mused. “Unfortunately, what it needed to do goes way beyond what any fighting game has ever done in existence lol.” “The way [Merrill said], ‘Then Street Fighter 6 came out,’ like that wasn&#039;t going to happen. SFV had one of the best comeback stories in fighting games. Did he really not think 6 was going to happen?” another asked. 2XKO was first revealed to the public as ‘Project L’ in 2019, though rumors of a fighting game based on the League of Legends IP had been swirling around long beforehand. Its confusing release (from a closed beta to extended early access) on the back of a lengthy development period essentially killed most of the hype around the game, and Riot officially announced plans to end active development after December 2026, though online play will still be supported.  ]]></description>

<title>LIVESTOCK</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22667</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22667</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ LIVESTOCKThis patch we are introducing cows and sheep.What resources can THEY GIVE?Both produce dung, cows produce milk, and sheep produce wool.They can also be harvested for meat, bones and leather like any other animal.Additionally, you can sell a grown animal to an NPC in the ranch.How to set up a farm?There are multiple ways to capture wild livestock, some more efficient than others, but they should all be pretty intuitive.When the new navmesh is enabled, NPCs can enter player structures and respect doors opening/closing, so the sky is the limit.Like plants, they have genetics and needs, and can be bred to hunt for a god clone.However, the genes won&#039;t behave exactly like plants, so old techniques may not apply.WILL IT TANK PERFORMANCE?Each game frame, only a subset of the NPCs are processed, up to a hardcoded max time per frame.So when we increase the population, the server doesn&#039;t directly lose FPS, instead NPCs just become slower to react because we distribute the load across frames automatically when over budget.We still spent time multithreading and optimising the new navigation system, at least doubling its performance since the last patch.As usual, we&#039;ll be monitoring server performance and fixing problems as they appear.LIVESTOCK ECONOMYGrowing and caring for your livestock will allow you to access some new resources and rewards.Grown Cattle and Sheep can be sold at a Stable for a variety of resources. Simply lead your animal to the Stables and speak to the new vendor outside, where you will receive a randomized offer based on the gene quality of the animal. You can reject the offer and get another two more times, at which point the vendor will get annoyed and won&#039;t want to buy the animal for 15 minutes. Wool can be harvested from Sheep and traded in to the same vendor, where you will get up the three offers just like when you sell animals. In this case the rewards offered will be based on how much wool you bring in the one go - the maximum being 400. High risk, high reward.MILKCows give you access to a new resource - milk. It can be consumed as is, but if you refrigerate it for 4 hours, you will gain a new option to skim the milk. Skimming the milk will give you two items - Skimmed Milk and Cream. Cream is a more powerful consumable.Milk and Cream can also be used in a variety of crafting recipes. Milk will generally increase the duration of tea effects, while Cream can be used to increase the potency of those effects.LIVESTOCK FENCINGTo help keep your new livestock under control, we&#039;ve added new animal gate and fence deployables - perfect for keeping your pet animals safe (ish!).BIOFUEL GENERATORA way to finally make use of raw or spoiled meat. The Biofuel Generator converts organic matter to low grade, but it must be stirred by hand!You can fill it up, stir it and let it process. It will take around 30~ minutes before you&#039;ll have to stir again, but don&#039;t worry - you can hook up some IO to let you know it needs stirring even when you&#039;re in the next room.The amount of low grade you&#039;re given depends on the type of organic matter you put in, those with a larger calorific value will give you more low grade.CRITTERS AND SWIMMERSAlongside the livestock, we are bringing in some smaller animals to make the world feel more alive! Frogs, Rabbits, Squirrels, Sea turtles, Crabs, and Jellyfish will all be appearing around the island in the biomes that suit them.PerformanceThe critters are heavily budgeted and have dedicated behaviours to ensure they don&#039;t take up any more server (and client) performance than strictly necessary. For now, they are mostly set dressing, and their performance limits are set with that in mind.Thanks to our many efforts to optimise other aspects of the game, we can use a part of those savings to give the game more life and vibrancy!AIR WOLF REPAIRABLE HELIPADAt the start of the wipe the Air Wolf helipad in Bandit Camp will now be in a state of disrepair. The air vehicle vendor NPC will refuse to sell vehicles to anyone until the helipad is repaired.Repairing the helipad is a process similar to constructing siege weapons - a certain amount of resources are required and you can transfer resources from your inventory by bashing the helipad with a hammer. Once the helipad is repaired it stays repaired for the duration of the wipe.The intention is that repairing the helipad requires a communal effort and air vehicles purchased from this vendor should no longer start spawning too quickly into the start of the wipe. If a clan wishes to get quick access to air vehicles they are required to invest a significant amount of resources to do so and they are also opening up access to the vendor to everyone else on the server.Server admins can change this behaviour via convars [c]vehicle.padrepairsrequired[/c] (if false this change is effectively reverted) and [c]vehicle.setrepairablepads[/c] (force helipad into fully disrepaired/repaired state with 0/1)SANDBAG STACKINGSandbags have been reworked ]]></description>

<title>An Update from the Anti Cheat Team &amp; 10/01/2026</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22673</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Competitive Integrity Update - Ballistic Exploit CrashOur Anti-Cheat team recently identified an exploit being used to disrupt matches by intentionally crashing game servers. After thoroughly investigating the suspected perpetrator, we have delivered a permanent account ban, and implemented a fix to the exploit.While investigating a suspected player who appeared to be repeatedly causing lobbies to crash, we identified an exploit involving Ballistic’s Sling passive. The exploit used a modified game client to duplicate a weapon optic far beyond its intended limits. Generating enough duplicated items placed an excessive load on the server, causing the match to become unresponsive and ultimately crash for everyone in the lobby.The player would then reconnect to the match after the crash and attempt to take advantage of other players being disconnected.Once identified, we worked to understand the behavior, confirm the cause, and put a fix in place to prevent this exploit from being used to disrupt matches again.We permanently banned the suspected user and are actioning all accounts found to be using this exploit.We take intentional match disruption seriously. Exploiting vulnerabilities to crash lobbies and interfere with other players&#039; ability to play is unacceptable, and we will continue to investigate reports of this type of behavior and take action when we can confirm abuse.Thank you to everyone who reported suspicious lobby crashes and provided information that helped us investigate this issue. Fair play is for everyone. ]]></description>

<title>Gears of War: E&amp;Day review&amp;in&amp;progress: &amp;quot;Gears is finally back firing on cylinders – this is its Halo 3 ODST moment&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22654</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22654</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  As Gears of War: E-Day&#039;s launches, developer The Coalition is being thinned by more Xbox layoffs. It&#039;s a heartbreaking circumstance by any metric, but the timing feels crueler since rolling credits on E-Day&#039;s campaign and seeing the extent of their triumph – an ode to big-screen action that restores Gears to the cutting edge of third-person shooters.  This is a review-in-progress until E-Day&#039;s multiplayer elements come fully online (some of which we previewed previously). But E-Day&#039;s campaign, which can be played with one to four players, is a triumph on its own merit. Far from the poorly-disguised corridors that make up many shooter campaigns, here is a city that has been built in excruciating detail, only to be torn down around you. Good kid, bad city  (Image credit: Microsoft) Kalona is an industrial city, with Gothic streets criss-crossing between dockyards and military forts. Headlines splashed across billboards celebrate the end of a war fought against the Union of Independent Republics (UIR). Kalona&#039;s gothic grandeur has been untouched by the war – I&#039;m reminded of New York City&#039;s celebrations post-World War 2, which in pictures seems far removed from the European mainland&#039;s devastation.Fast facts Release date: October 6, 2026Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series XDeveloper: The Coalition, People Can FlyPublisher: Xbox Game Studios The conflict casts a long shadow over returning Gears protagonists Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. Brought closer by the death of Dom&#039;s brother and Fenix&#039;s squaddie Carlos Santiago, who died fighting the UIR, the pair are ditching a military ceremony to get drinks when the titular Emergence Day begins. The earth cracks open and hordes of subterranean humanoids – some scuttling on all-fours, others geared with guns and armor – spill onto the surface to kill indiscriminately. The horror is awfully believable: civilians are slaughtered as they run while fire and sinkholes lay waste to Kalona itself; leaving Fenix and Santiago to try and link up with a back-footed defense alongside fellow Gears Carter and Reyes.   (Image credit: Microsoft) With E-Day&#039;s campaign set entirely within Kalona, The Coalition shows its destruction in unflinching detail. Hammering home that this is happening as we play, E-Day rarely cuts away from Fenix – who leads Bravo Squad from one fire to the next – and instead uses returning locales to ground Kalona&#039;s downfall. One setpiece, Legacy Bridge, is used several times – but with the campaign&#039;s full-throttle pacing makes it feel like lifetimes have passed between each visit, to say nothing of the city falling apart around it. I&#039;m reminded of Halo 3: ODST&#039;s excellent single-setting, which made you ache for New Mombasa through reminders of the world that was.  The bleak tone is surprisingly complementary for Gears&#039; larger-than-life action, personalities, and load-bearing use of the word &quot;fucker&quot;. But even the latter is additive to E-Day&#039;s story. In the moments we spend with Fenix, Bravo Squad, and other survivors; the bravado is stripped back to explore grief, trauma, and humanity. And going so long without discussing shootouts (in a Gears of War game!) speaks to the strength of E-Day&#039;s setting. But this is an action game first and foremost – not that any reminder is needed. Reloaded  (Image credit: Microsoft) Gears of War: E-Day is the best cover shooter I&#039;ve played since the series&#039; Xbox 360-era heyday. Where 2024&#039;s excellent Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 thrived by pushing its scale and melee combat, E-Day reaches new heights for cover shooters in a more literal sense – turning encounters into scrappy, fluid gunfights. An adaptive cover system means nearly anything can be used, not just ol&#039; reliables like car bonnets and concrete corners, and on plenty of occasions I&#039;m saved by Fenix&#039;s willingness to dive behind shin-high rubble and shoot whilst lying on his back. Cover being more naturalized does wonders for Kalona – the absence of traditionally signposted cover makes it feel like a city, not a level.  Surviving is tricky, even on normal difficulty. The Locust are smart foes and know how to press an advantage. Twitchy crawlers rush at your position even as well-armed Drones dig in and fire from cover, the latter preferring to shoot and flank rather than charge forwards. Unique enemies reveal themselves across the campaign, and are deployed rarely enough that they are always an &#039;oh shit&#039; moment – be it acid-spitting toad-creatures or, to coin an in-game description, &quot;floating ballsacks&quot; that rain fire from above.   (Image credit: Microsoft) In your corner, precision and brute force are equally viable. For most of the game I opt to play at mid-range where possible, using bolt-action rifles to carefully pick off targets. But limited ammo means you&#039;ll often fight with whatever gun you can scavenge, and after one such fight in an overrun train station, I grew attached to the Gnasher shotgun – its buckshot initially feels lackluster, but when you&#039;re close enou ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Ahead of the game&#039;s launch, The Coalition outlines its post-launch plans for Gears of War: E-Day, giving fans a glimpse at the upcoming 2 seasons and more. While Gears 5 may have left fans hanging with its cliffhanger ending, many were surprised to see The Coalition&#039;s next entry veer completely into different territory. Gears of War: E-Day takes players back to the beginning to experience the horrors of Emergence Day.  ]]></description>

<title>Desert Predator: AMV (BMP&amp;3)</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22651</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22651</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Meet the vehicle reward in the Desert Predator event, the Finnish Patria wheeled combat vehicle equipped with the BMP-3 combat module!AMV (BMP-3): An Event Vehicle Light Tank for Sweden at Rank VIAt a glance:100 km/h top speed30 mm autocannon and 100 mm gun-launcherThermal sight for the gunnerRelatively high profileIntroducing the AMV (BMP-3)!This vehicle combines the Finnish Patria AMV wheeled chassis with the turret of the Russian BMP-3! The BMP-3’s turret, featuring a 30 mm automatic cannon and a 100 mm gun-launcher capable of firing tandem-warhead ATGMs, is now mounted on a fast wheeled chassis. Let’s take a closer look!Using the AMV (BMP-3) in BattleThe AMV (BMP-3) combines the best features of both platforms. The Patria chassis utilizes an 8x8 wheel configuration and is capable of speeds of 100 km/h. Its BMP-3 combat module, equipped with thermal imaging, is well-suited for both close-range and long-range engagements. In urban combat, the 30 mm autocannon is highly effective, while the 100 mm gun’s HE rounds prove useful against light targets. The vehicle’s performance differs significantly at long ranges, where anti-tank missiles become the primary weapon. Although its armor is not designed to withstand tank shells, it reliably resists machine-gun fire and can even survive hits from certain early-generation ATGMs thanks to its composite armor.Feature Spotlight: Two CannonsThe BMP-3 turret features different types of weaponry, it has a 100 mm gun-launcher, a 30 mm automatic cannon, and a machine gun. While the 100 mm gun’s ammunition includes HE shells, its most effective rounds are Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, of which you can carry up to eight. The 30 mm gun has HE belts that are useful against helicopters, while APDS rounds are great in close-range engagements against armored vehicles, allowing you to disable guns, tracks and strike enemy tanks in the flank!Developer comment: The Patria AMV is a promising modern modular platform. Players are already familiar with it via the Finnish CT-CV 105HP, though the AMV (BMP-3) variant utilizes an upgraded, extended chassis with increased spacing between the second and third wheel pairs. This new Patria offers a fresh take on the mobile chassis, and most importantly it’s Sweden’s first wheeled tank at rank VI. It serves as a strong alternative to the tracked CV series, particularly on urban maps with paved roads where the AMV (BMP-3) truly shines!Vehicle HistoryIn 2007, a wheeled Patria vehicle featuring the BMP-3 turret was unveiled at the IDEX exhibition. In January 2008, the UAE ordered 15 extended-hull Patria AMV chassis. The plan was to equip them with turrets from the BMP-3 (which was already in service with the UAE) featuring Namut thermal imaging sights. In 2016, the UAE General Staff ordered another 40 Patria AMV chassis, with an option for an additional 50 units. The exact number of vehicles currently in service remains unknown. You can get the AMV (BMP-3) through the Desert Predator vehicle event, which started today! Be sure to follow the link below to learn how you can obtain this interesting vehicle.https://steamcommunity.com/games/236390/announcements/detail/679636495422719730Please note that vehicle specifications may be subject to revision and change before being added to the game. ]]></description>

<title>All Unsupervised Science testing facility locations in Control Resonant</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22652</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22652</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The Testing Facilities in Control Resonant are all part of the Unsupervised Science quest, with six of them hidden in underground locations all around Manhattan for you to find and solve. There&#039;s two recurring puzzles that appear across the six Testing Facilities, and below I&#039;ll take you on a full walkthrough of the entire process: How to find every facility for the Unsupervised Science quest, how to solve the puzzles and challenges in each one, and what to do when they&#039;re all completed. Want to find other challenges around the game? Discover all the Control Resonant Shum Arcade machines!All Testing Facility locations in Control Resonant There are Six FBC Testing Facilities hidden around the map in Control Resonant: one for every region, with the exception of the Underpass, which has none. You can find them all on the map below, along with blue arrows that mark their hidden access points.  For a bigger map with more detail, click the icon in the lower left. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/r5rA2UTDbXt6tP4ANLrkvF-1920-80.jpg (Image credit: Remedy) Downtown.

Entered via a hole in the road on the &quot;Ground&quot; side of Unknown, Southwest of the Twisted Rooftops Fast Travel Door. Power Distribution puzzle. Also serves as the location to access the Threshold for the final part of the quest. Once all puzzles are solved, you&#039;ll be given a final objective to Go into the Threshold, explained further down.How to solve the Testing Facility puzzles in Control Resonant There are two puzzles that appear at the Testing Facilities: Power Distribution, about moving charges around, and Soda Machines, about placing these drinks machines on marked locations. Here&#039;s how they both work and how to solve them.Power Distribution  (Image credit: Remedy) After pulling the console lever, you&#039;ll be shown several Power Cores attached to machines with flashing lights, some of which have charges in. If the red light on a machine starts flashing, you need to quickly install a charge. If the blue light starts flashing and sparking, you need to remove the charge. The goal is to quickly move charges between machines for a minute without any machine going without a charge for an extended period of time, or having one for too long and overloading. Once completed, all lights will turn green, and you&#039;ll get a reward.Soda Machines  (Image credit: Remedy) Around the facility are random objects that you can pick up, but every time they cross a yellow line on the floor, they transform into other random objects. The goal is to turn them all into &quot;Thirst Station&quot; Soda Machines, then place those Soda Machines on the marked squares in the Facility. There is a complex pattern to the transformations (a repeating cycle that resets by one if you go back across a line you just crossed), and with the more complex layouts and spread out squares, I suggest that you find a T-intersection of yellow lines and run in circles through the three zones until the cycle is where you need it to be, then go from there. Once all squares have Soda machines in them, pull the lever on the main console to progress.Go into the Threshold  (Image credit: Remedy) After all six are completed, go back to the Unknown Testing Facility and into the side room East side, then pull the lever. This will open a metal door to a tunnel filled with glitching objects. Interact with Doctor Grant&#039;s body at the end to complete the quest and get the collectible: Dr Grant&#039;s Final Report. There&#039;s also a power core charge you can transfer to open a side door and get some resources.  Finally, completing the quest for good will get you the Untapped Scrunchie artifact, which increases the damage of Primary weapons by 10% when equipped.

<title>Sonic boss knows you want more remakes and ports, but but wants &amp;quot;to provide fans with new games&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22647</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22647</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Sonic Team lead Takashi Iizuka hears your requests for more remakes, remasters, and ports, but he feels like focusing on new games is the priority.  Despite the world loving a good remake and remaster in the modern era, of all the biggest gaming franchises, Sonic has been surprisingly lacking them. Sonic Colors Remastered was a bit of a mess, and then the Sonic Generations remaster did its own version of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser&#039;s Fury by including a whole new game as part of it. But other than those and more ways to sell you the Mega Drive games again, the obvious ones have never been redone. Speaking to Automaton, Iizuka acknowledges this, saying, &quot;We hear all sorts of requests from the fan community for remakes and remasters,&quot; with the Sonic Team lead singling out Sonic Unleashed as one he hears about a lot. He explains, &quot;Our resources are limited… Rather than using those limited resources to make remakes and remasters, we have a stronger desire to provide fans with new games and deliver new surprises. &quot;With remakes and remasters, you&#039;re essentially providing the same experience again,&quot; Iizuka notes, but adds that it&#039;s not quite as simple: &quot;Remaking an old game requires about as many resources as creating a new title.&quot;  He explains, &quot;You have to remake all the graphics, and you can&#039;t simply release the gameplay as it was back then because many things are deemed rough by modern standards.&quot; Ultimately, I still think there&#039;s a middle ground, that being ensuring that these games are still playable on modern hardware. Konami announced the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 at the same time it announced the Master Collection. Having a way to play Sonic Adventure 2 in its native form on Switch 2 or PS5 would go a long way for many.  Sonic boss sees the franchise &quot;like my own son&quot; after 35 years, since the hedgehog is technically older than his human children. [/url] ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Resident Evil executive producer Jun Takeuchi says Capcom already has a plan for when its remakes catch up and ‘crossover’ with new entries in the series.

It’s previously been reported that remakes of Resident Evil 0 and the first game in the series are in the works, which would leave 5 and 6 as the only mainline games left to work on.

<description><![CDATA[ Hello, this is Project Moon.We have received much feedback regarding the difficulty of boss units that can be encountered in The Symbolic gamemode. To alleviate this issue, we intend to buff the effects of the special item that can be obtained when the player is defeated.In addition to the above, this hotfix will improve the Passive description of a certain boss unit fought in &quot;The Shadowed&quot; to make the Encounter gimmick more intuitive to understand.We will inform you via another notice once the hotfix has been deployed.Please refer to the information below.[ &quot;The Symbolic&quot; Gamemode Lowered Difficulty Details ]▶ Simplified the conditions for triggering the event where a special assistive item can be obtained, and added an additional effect to the said item- Before: The event would be triggered after dying 3 times.- After: The event is triggered after dying once.- Additional Effect: In the Symbolic, Damage Dealt +350[Chapter 10 Part 3 Shadowed Battle Boss Passive Text (5F)]Added:- When the Sinner who has a certain buff wins a Clash against a certain Skill, the boss unit gains 1 unique status effect- When the boss unit reaches 5 Stacks of that unique status effect, it gains a new pattern; winning the Clash against the Skill in that new pattern will win the EncounterThis battle was designed as a mechanic-based encounter in which a Sinner with a certain buff must Clash against specific Skills to build up a unique buff on the boss to clear the Encounter.However, we have identified that the explanation of this mechanic was not sufficiently clear, causing difficulties during the battle.As an initial measure, we will revise and expand the mechanic&#039;s description so that the battle can be approached more intuitively.We are also aware that numerical balance issues involving the amount of status effects applied, skill power parameters, damage, SP, and other values can make it difficult to properly engage with the intended battle mechanic.We are currently monitoring numerical values across Encounters to identify the specific points at which Managers may experience frustration or excessive difficulty. We are also reviewing which elements should be adjusted downward.We will continue monitoring difficulty trends following the addition of textual description. Should any difficulty adjustments be finalized, we will provide additional information via a separate notice.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unclear text and difficulty issues.[ Hotfix ETA ]- 10.01 (Thu) 19:30 (KST)- There may be a delay of approximately 10 minutes.※ The Hotfix will be deployed upon restarting the game, and does not require a separate client update. However, please note that additional in-game downloads may occur.In addition, we are currently investigating the known issues that have been identified after the Scheduled Update, and if an additional hotfix is scheduled, we will inform you via a separate notice.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. ]]></description>

With high-penetration shells, a smoke-laying system, night vision, and a laser rangefinder, this tank has everything it needs to perform well in combat at its rank! [carousel autoadvance=&quot;true&quot;][/carousel]The Т-62 №545 is a Soviet tank that saw action during the battle for Damansky Island in 1969; it was knocked out and subsequently fell into the hands of Chinese engineers. It is best deployed in a second-line role, taking careful aim: while the 115 mm gun has a rather long reload time, its HEAT and APFSDS rounds are capable of dealing devastating damage to the enemy. [carousel autoadvance=&quot;true&quot;][/carousel]The JH-7A Prototype is a strike aircraft distinguished from its research-tree counterpart by a unique camouflage scheme. Its extensive arsenal of suspended weaponry includes precision bombs with laser, satellite and infrared guidance and Kh-29T air-to-surface missiles featuring the “fire-and-forget” capability.

Supported by Cultists and even a Helbrute, players must battle against both Tyranid Hive Fleet forces and the Loyalists.New Siege Mode Map: HiveThe Tyranid invasion has exposed the activity of Chaos forces on Avarax. Somewhere in the heart of the Hive City, Heretic Astartes are defending strategically vital locations and attempting to perform blasphemous rituals.New Feature: Crucible Mode for PvEThis is our first true endgame activity. We will continue to evolve it and monitor all feedback regarding it. The rewards for the Crucible are meant to be expanded over time.Crucible is a new endgame PvE mode available for Level 25 classes. Launch it through PvE Operations and apply Penances to yourself to make the mission more challenging in exchange for Crucible XP and unique customisation rewards. Crucible uses a separate matchmaking pool from standard PvE.Progressing into Crucible mode will unlock the armour parts of the Lamenters set.New Feature: Tactical Class ExpansionA rework of the Tactical class perks, offering more flexible customisation options to suit your playstyle - whether that’s using two primary weapons, taking down enemies with Gun Strike, or engaging in close combat - as well as an expansion of the Tactical class’s melee weapon arsenal.New Feature: Trials of Resolve #3New Ordeals featuring Vanguard and Heavy class challenges, as well as PvP and Siege game modes.New Weapon: One Handed Thunder HammerA fast weapon that can transition between single target and area attacks.

Overall, Auspex scan damage bonus is smaller than before, but the fact that he gets Kraken Penetrator rounds by default and most primary weapons get a buff should even up the playing field.Starting perk now lets Bolt Weapons penetrate 1 additional enemy. Non Head Shot Damage is increased by 20% for Bolter Weapons.Prestige perk Exigency Charge is replaced with Passive Chambering: “Any unequipped Ranged Weapon reloads automatically after 10 seconds”.Kraken Penetrator Rounds has been removed from the skill tree to be included in the starting Class perk.

<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22620</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Debuting in 1999, David Chase&#039;s landmark HBO series The Sopranos transformed the traditional mob story by putting an unusually introspective lead character in the spotlight and humanizing the gangster lifestyle in ways that made it impossible for audiences to quit watching. James Gandolfini&#039;s Tony Soprano quickly became one of television&#039;s defining antiheroes, while the show&#039;s morally complicated storytelling helped establish a new standard for prestige television. ]]></description>

<title>Aniimo Dev Dispatch Vol. 1</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22615</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22615</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dear Pathfinders, Hello everyone! Since Aniimo launched, we’ve been blown away by your love and support. Thank you so much for stepping into Idyll and setting out on this adventure with us. Every hour you play and every kind word you share is what motivates us to keep going. At the same time, we’ve seen plenty of honest feedback and complaints. Every suggestion, complaint, and question you post on social media, in comment sections, and in community is read and reviewed by our dev team. To us, such feedback shows that you genuinely love Aniimo and want it to get better. Every so often, we’ll round up the issues you care about and talk about most, and share with you what we think, what we’re changing, and what’s coming next. Here are the top issues this time, along with our progress and plans:1. Rerolling the same Aniimo keeps giving repeat colors and burns through resources. Can this be improved? In version 1.1, we’re improving Sparkling Hue rerolls for Sparkling Prismana Aniimo. Once it’s live, you’ll be able to freely switch between any Sparkling Hue you’ve already unlocked for an Aniimo. 2. Some Aniimo already look great in their original Prismana colors. After using a Sparkling Cube, can I keep the original color? After the version 1.1 update, you’ll be able to switch between all the Sparkling Hue styles unlocked for that Prismana Aniimo, including its original Prismana Hue, so you can switch back any time. 3. Why does my Legendary Irisalis have 88 Potential when someone else’s has 99? We’ve read through all your feedback. Right now, Irisalis’s Innate Potential is random. Since you can only get this Legendary Aniimo once, having random Potential means the payoff isn’t guaranteed for this rare Aniimo. That’s not the experience we want for you. So after the version 1.1 update, we’re removing Irisalis’s random Innate Potential and setting it to fixed values: ATK: 10, REGEN: 10, HP: 5, BREAK: 5, M.DEF: 5, P.DEF: 5 Any existing Potential above these values will be converted into Starcryst Essence as compensation. Watch for the version update announcement and in-game mail for the exact conversion rules and amounts.4. Can I switch a Sparkling Aniimo I already own to a Legendary Aniipod’s exclusive Sparkling effect? After the version 1.1 update, Legendary Aniipods can be used on Sparkling Aniimo. This replaces the Aniipod it was originally caught with and grants that Legendary Aniipod’s exclusive Sparkling effect. 5. Are there plans to fix lag and overheating on mobile? We’ve received a lot of feedback on this. A dedicated team is optimizing for popular devices right now to reduce lag and overheating and improve the mobile experience as soon as possible. 6. Support tickets take a long time to get a reply. Can this be faster? We’re continuing to improve how support works, including upgrading the support system, growing the team, and streamlining internal handoffs so that tickets get answered and resolved faster. Some complex issues require checking account data and working across several teams to find the cause, so they may take longer, but we’ll keep improving. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 7. My Steam/Console account failed to link. What should I do? Please log in to our Customer Support page. Under Quick Support Links, click Account Issues. Then select Steam Relink (PSN/Xbox) for both the second-level and third-level categories. Please submit a support ticket with the following information: - The platform ID you would like to unlink (e.g., Steam ID) - The UID you are currently using to contact Customer Support, along with the email address linked to it - The UID you would like to unlink - The platform currently linked to the UID you would like to unlink We will review your request and process it as soon as possible.We’ll keep reviewing your real experiences and suggestions, and share bug fixes, improvements, mechanic changes, and future plans openly. We’d love to hear more of your feedback, too. Thank you again to every Pathfinder for your patience and honest feedback. Every message you leave motivates us to keep improving. Have fun and enjoy your time in Idyll! The Aniimo Dev Team ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been a refreshing new chapter for the Game of Thrones franchise, giving fans a more personal and character-driven adventure through Westeros than the large-scale Dance of the Dragons battles seen lately in House of the Dragon. Following hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire, Egg, the series brings George R.R. Martin&#039;s beloved Tales of Dunk and Egg stories to live action, with its first season adapting the 1998 novella The Hedge Knight. ]]></description>

<title>Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 &amp;quot;broke&amp;quot; T&amp;Pain with its &amp;quot;too sad&amp;quot; intro: &amp;quot;It gets worse? Absolutely not&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22601</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22601</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Some people just aren&#039;t built to endure the kind of bleak, unrelenting tragedy that often exists at the bottom of a great story&#039;s emotional arc. Rapper T-Pain may just have that affliction, having recently started Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on his Nappy Boy Gaming YouTube channel and noped out after its notoriously sad opening sequence. *Spoilers for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 below. Turn back if you haven&#039;t played through the prologue yet.*  (Image credit: Sandfall Interactive) In the video just below, you can see T-Pain playing about 15 minutes of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from the very start, which of course means he witnesses the awfully tragic death of Sophie in the prologue, leaving him speechless for a few seconds as he resumes control of Gustave. T-Pain eventually makes an exacerbated &quot;shewwww&quot; sound and exits to desktop. &quot;Is it a sad story?&quot; an offscreen person says, clearly noticing T-Pain&#039;s emotional exhaustion. &quot;Yeah.&quot; &quot;Is it too sad?&quot; &quot;Yeah, it was too sad,&quot; T-Pain responds, laughing. Just before ending the video, the rapper appears to read a comment on his stream warning him that, &quot;it gets worse&quot; – and anyone who&#039;s played through the game knows it absolutely does get worse, and soon – and T-Pain decides then and there, &quot;Absolutely not.&quot;https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/qEMwjuKFFmM I totally get his reluctance to continue here. Sometimes I just want to play a game, or watch a movie, or read a book, and not feel like I need to text my therapist. Unfortunately, in my view, if a story&#039;s writing and performances are effective enough to evoke such powerful emotion, it&#039;s probably worth seeing through, even if it never provides the sort of emotional upswing you want.  The Last of Us is one of my all-time favorite stories across all mediums precisely because it offers such an uncompromising, realistic account of two normal people trying to navigate a zombie apocalypse. Bad things are going to happen to good people, and there won&#039;t always be a picture-perfect redemption for anyone. Casting aside the conventional trajectories of heroes and villains makes for a much more believable, and thus absorbing story. You might not be moving your body like a cyclone afterwards, but you can always get low with something a little lighter to balance things out. Elden Ring and Dark Souls inspired Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 director&#039;s approach to the RPG&#039;s story – &quot;I didn&#039;t want to spoon-feed the player&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered Review Update</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22605</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22605</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  As the fantasy RPG GOAT, it really doesn’t take a whole lot for me to replay The Witcher 3. I’ve happily done so the numerous other times developer CD Projekt Red has revamped this masterpiece, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered seems to be the biggest overhaul to the beloved tale yet. A free update for anyone who owns the original, so many different parts of this already excellent game have been improved – from combat to movement to skill progression (not to mention the modernized graphics). After about 10 hours working my way through White Orchard and beyond, it’s already extremely clear that this is the best The Witcher 3 has ever been.Combat is less floaty and enemies are (slightly) less stupid It’s probably not controversial to say that one of the worst parts of this otherwise amazing adventure was the combat. Even after at least a few updates to it over the years, it still mostly felt floaty, a bit on the sloppy side, and enemies were a huge fan of just standing there and waiting for their turn to get decapitated. The modernizations made to combat in this remaster are its biggest step forward, as a whole bevy of tweaks have been made to address various sticking points. Geralt attacks faster and enemies are quicker to match your pace, which makes the process of chopping through your ninth pack of wolves much less irritating. The camera and lock-on functionality have been the highlight so far, as you can now toggle between large groups of enemies with ease, and without the camera losing its mind. I didn’t even use the lock-on system in the original specifically because it was so unreliable, so being able to do so now has taken some serious getting used to. In general, the camera feels much better – less tightly locked to your back so you can handle groups of enemies more reliably (though those darn Neckers still like to sneak up on ya), and so far I’ve encountered far fewer situations where I felt like I was fighting my view as much as I was the monsters. I’ve also noticed some new enemy behaviors that make swordplay more interesting, specifically how they’ll now retreat instead of letting you trounce them with steel, launch less telegraphed counterattacks, and disappear and reappear behind you (in the case of ghost monsters). All that did a much better job of making me feel like I was fighting intelligent creatures. Of course, compared to some of the stuff we see in action games today, I still do feel like the enemy behavior shows its age, and it was never all that great to begin with. Still, this is enough of an improvement to make combat feel much more engaging than it once did, significantly upgrading one of this adventure’s weakest points.Geralt moves so much faster and Roach is less of a cretin Movement is one of those small details that can grate the heck out of you in a massive RPG like The Witcher 3, slowly filling you with rage over the course of hundreds of hours. In the original, Geralt was often slow and had a lot of trouble getting over things. His rigid animations sometimes made me avoid ladders altogether because I just didn’t have the patience for it. In the remaster, Geralt absolutely flies over fences and navigates vertical obstacles with relative ease, to the point where it actually felt weird to see him be so nimble. I recall losing over an hour of progress in the 1.0 version when Geralt fell off a ledge no taller than a barstool and managed to break every bone in his body. This was reduced already in the next-gen update from 2022, but combined with the other speed and mobility improvements here, it almost feels like a completely different game – to the point where I’ve begun to wonder if it’ll make the map feel smaller than before as I get deeper in. Similarly, Roach is no longer the annoying idiot she once was, now sporting much more intuitive controls that make her less likely to get caught on trees (which she now passes through if she’s just brushing against them while galloping), or end up on top of a barn. Most importantly, you can now loot herbs and whatnot without getting off your horse, which is maybe the single best improvement this remaster offers (dismounting every 10 seconds to pick a flower drove me to the brink of madness in 2015). Skill trees are less restrictive A pet peeve of mine in RPGs is when skill trees prevent you from playing around with different builds until you get deep into the progression. This is something The Witcher 3 suffered from quite a bit in the early hours, as so many of the impactful abilities were locked behind walls you couldn’t remove until late in the journey. The revised trees in the remaster take a page out of Cyberpunk 2077’s book by making perks more readily available earlier on, so you can customize how you’d like Geralt to get his Witchering done. I’m still early in my journey on this run, but I’m already happy to see that I won’t have to wait until I’ve invested a whole 12 points in a branch before I can unlock any good skills ]]></description>

<title>Seek Sunken Treasures during the High Seas of Tamriel Event</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22606</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22606</guid>
<description><![CDATA[                                                                                      Battle ship-to-ship and plunder the ocean’s depths during a new in-game event.  Adventure on the High Seas The High Seas of Tamriel in-game event is now live and runs until October 14. During the event period, you can embark on voyages above and below the ocean, battle pirates and monsters of the deep, and loot sunken treasures.  To join the crew and begin your adventure, pick up the starter quest from the in-game Crown Store titled “Raising the Riotous Redress.” Help the ghostly pirate Baron-Captain Olsien Guy Mard to restore his beloved ship and you’ll then update a new event-specific daily quest titled “Bounty of the Abecean Sea.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Help the captain recover his ship! Each day of the event, you can acquire and complete the Bounty of the Abecean Sea quest. Note that while this quest can always be completed solo, up to four players can jump in to face the nautical dangers together. Even if you’ve already completed the quest, you can still join a mate’s crew (you just won’t be able to earn the reward for quest completion).  Set Sail for Daily Rewards As you and your crew battle upon the waves and plunder the ocean’s depths, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to loot special in-game rewards.   Deep Plunder Boxes When completing High Seas of Tamriel quests each day, you will receive a Deep Plunder Box as a bonus reward container, which can contain a random assortment of goodies. Even better, the first time you complete the daily quest on your account each day rewards you with an upgraded Legendary Deep Plunder Box, which grants you 300 Trade Bars in addition to a random selection of other treasures.

<title>Update 0.4.0.165</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22607</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22607</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Operatives! Here is a quick update following your feedback. We’ve adjusted Distorted pursuit behavior and noise sensitivity, made fire damage from Molotovs and flamethrowers affect monsters more reliably again, and restored your ability to squeeze past surrounding groups of monsters.Distorted that teleport in front of a fleeing player now appear farther away, giving you more time to react.Agitated Distorted animate more visibly, making it easier to see whether their sleep is restless, and that they could wake up at any moment.Bullet impacts now generate noticeably less noise for monsters, meaning that they react less to them. Firing with a suppressor is also now even less likely to wake nearby groups.Monsters now stop reacting to noise faster and fall into deep sleep faster.Fixed a bug that made monsters walk around Molotov and flamethrower fire, so it could not be used against them. Monsters now pass through such fire and take damage from it. Bonfires and other permanent fire sources are still avoided by all monsters: the bug came from that mechanic, and the mechanic itself is kept.We&#039;ve restored old collision physics with monsters: it&#039;s now easier to break out of an encirclement by pushing enemies aside. However, this occasionally can cause you to end up inside a monster again — we&#039;re continuing to work on a fix for this issue.                      ]]></description>

<title>&amp;quot;Extraction is Still a Major Part of Marathon&amp;quot; – Marathon Game Director Reassures Fans Main Game Mode Isn&amp;apos;t Going Anywhere</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22599</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22599</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Just last week, Marathon&#039;s developers laid out a new roadmap for the game that&#039;d bring PvE and deathmatch modes to the game, but now Game Director Del Chafe has reassured fans that the extraction mode will not be sunsetted.  When Bungie revealed the roadmap last week, some people were worried that the more hardcore extraction mode would be neglected in favor of the new modes, especially after the developer admitted that Marathon flopped because it was too hard. But, using the Marathon Development Team Twitter account, Chafe reassured folks, saying &quot;We want to be clear, Extraction is still a major part of Marathon, and we&#039;re also going to continue updating it as we look to the future of the game.&quot;  Hey everyone, Del here. Last week we had a great time talking about the upcoming PvE and experimental PvP modes for Symbiosis in December. We want to be clear, Extraction is still a major part of Marathon, and we&#039;re also going to continue updating it as we look to the future…— Marathon Development Team (@MarathonDevTeam) September 30, 2026 Chafe also asked fans for feedback, saying &quot;We&#039;d love to hear from you on what you&#039;re enjoying about Extraction today, what you think needs work, and what you wish was there.&quot; Of course, Marathon fans obliged. Marathon streamer Drewsky replied, saying that the among the main problems facing the extraction mode are spawn rushes and harsh death spirals that price players out. User nsorrey36 echoed Drewsky, saying &quot;Echoing a lot of sentiment where it feels like lobby wiping is the go-to strategy of the run.&quot; It seems like the perfect solution to Marathon&#039;s problems would be to introduce the new game modes coming in the Symbiosis update, while also finding a way to incentivize extraction players to not immediately start running for spawn points in the hopes of catching someone off guard. Luckily, it sounds like Bungie is taking any and all community feedback to heart, so there&#039;s actually a chance that extraction will look a lot different in a year.  All of these changes for Marathon are happening at the same time that Bungie is working on bringing Destiny back. The developer reassured gamers earlier this month that it wasn&#039;t done with Destiny, and is working on bringing back vaulted Destiny 2 content.   ]]></description>

<title>GTA 5 Modder Taunts Rockstar With Unofficial Nintendo Switch Port, Gets Cease and Desist from Take&amp;Two</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22590</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22590</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  A modder who was porting GTA 5 to Nintendo Switch taunted Rockstar Games and was immediately hit with a cease and desist. The modder, known as Mojso, was planning to bring GTA 5 and GTA Online to Nintendo Switch for modded versions of the console and got a bit cocky. After Rockstar Games recently posted its guidelines for modding (which forbids unofficial ports), the modder posted: &quot;Try me Rockstar, &quot;  Three days later, the modder&#039;s Discord server was taken down for copyright infringement, but it didn&#039;t seem to deter them. After many warned them about how litigous Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two are, the modder suggested they aren&#039;t worried about it: &quot;Copyright infringement is anything but enforced in Serbia.&quot; Less than a week later, the modder confirmed they had received a cease and desist from Take-Two Interactive and thanked the company for its &quot;mercy.&quot; As a result, the port will never see the light of day, as Mojso has stated that they don&#039;t want to risk any legal issues. &quot;Paralympics Productions is shutting down on October 3rd. Thank you everyone who supported us through tough times and lenghty development. I am sorry for not fulfilling your expectations and leaving you high and dry. I am thankful for Take-Two&#039;s mercy so this is the definitive end,&quot; they wrote. When people pointed back to the modder&#039;s post about taunting Rockstar, Mojso noted that they didn&#039;t actually expect Rockstar to do anything. &quot;They tried me,&quot; Mojso said. &quot;[What the] f**k [do] you want me to do? Fight with them in court? I wasn&#039;t expecting them to hit back hard.&quot; The modder had been working on this port using leaked GTA 5 source code, which has resulted in a bevy of other leaks and issues. Ultimately, it&#039;s probably in your best interest to not taunt massive corporations that are known for hunting down people that mess with their IP.  ]]></description>

<title>Warlock boss says don&amp;apos;t expect a Baldur&amp;apos;s Gate 3&amp;style fluid story, main story beats are &amp;quot;written&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22588</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22588</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Despite having little association with each other beyond sharing the D&amp;D universe, Invoke&#039;s Warlock: Dungeons and Dragons is drawing plenty of comparisons to Larian&#039;s 2023 opus, Baldur&#039;s Gate 3. It&#039;s hard to blame anyone for anchoring the shiny new open-world D&amp;D game to the 2023 GOTY considering just how much the latter dominated and continues to influence the conversation around RPG design, but mechanically and narratively, the fundamentals of the two games are very different. Talking to Eurogamer, Invoke general manager Dominique Guay is keen to make that narrative distinction very clear, contrasting the fluid, branching plot of Baldur&#039;s Gate 3 with the comparatively linear Warlock. &quot;We&#039;re being very clear on that,&quot; says Guay. &quot;Kaatri is a written character, so it&#039;s not like you can play evil or good Kaatri. Nothing like that. The main narrative moments you&#039;re going to go through are written down, and you&#039;re going to go through the same moment as someone else.&quot;  Another big difference is Warlock&#039;s more narrow focus on main character Kaatri. Whereas Baldur&#039;s Gate 3 features an ensemble cast of playable characters led by the player&#039;s custom avatar, Warlock is very much about one hero&#039;s journey, although there are &quot;definitely allies you&#039;ll make along the way, kind of her found family.&quot; One of those characters is your imp companion, Skev, and Guay says &quot;there&#039;s an ongoing story there of how their relationship grows.&quot; In our hands-off Warlock preview from this year&#039;s Gamescom, staff writer Jasmine Gould-Wilson fell deeply &quot;under its spell&quot; and expressed confidence that the game might successfully escape Baldur&#039;s Gate 3&#039;s long shadow with an entirely different take on the D&amp;D universe. Open-world D&amp;D game Warlock doesn&#039;t have AAA-standard waypoints because the devs want players to feel that &quot;when they found things, it was based on their actions&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Gamescom 2026: Alien Deathstorm Preview— Thirty Minutes of Pure Tension</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22589</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22589</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  I was not sure what to expect when I booked a meeting to see Alien Deathstorm at gamescom 2026, but I was pleasantly surprised. Developed by Rebellion, the demo offered a solid slice of the experience, and I was quickly pulled in by what was on show. Based on what the team already has in place, I am excited to see more when the game finally releases. Alien Deathstorm feels like one of the best games inspired by the Alien franchise that I have played in a long time, and it is not even part of that iconic series. Sitting down at the Rebellion booth and jumping into Alien Deathstorm, I quickly got a sense of the combat, controls, and overall feel of the game. If you ever saw the early trailers and first looks at Aliens: Colonial Marines, this feels like what that game wanted to be. Yes, that is an odd thing to say about a title that is not even part of the same cinematic universe, but the team at Rebellion knows how to make a solid shooter. Rebellion also developed Aliens vs. Predator... Read more ]]></description>

<title>New Open&amp;World Survival&amp;Crafting Game on Steam Mixes Valheim with Red Dead Redemption 2</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22585</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22585</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  While Red Dead Redemption 2 is a beloved video game, there is one criticism about it that has come up time and time again over the years: its multiplayer component has never been given the support it deserves. Compared to the endlessly growing GTA Online, it didn’t take long for Red Dead Online players to argue that there was a lack of content for their preferred crime-focused Rockstar adventure game, with small updates doing little to dissuade these detractors. ]]></description>

Yes, devotees of Final Fantasy 14 have had good times with their own free trial memes over the years, but Square Enix&#039;s older MMO is finally bulking up its own trial in an effort to get more players in the door. There is no longer any time limit on Final Fantasy 11&#039;s free trial. Previously, players would be locked out after two weeks and forced to upgrade to the full game. Additionally, the level cap on the trial is now 75, up from the previous cap of 50. These changes were first announced earlier this year, and have just gone live as of today&#039;s update. Notably, the trial still only includes the base game, with no expansion content, and there are some key restrictions on access to social features. Notably, trial players can&#039;t access the auction house, trade with other people, or carry more than 100,000 gil, all of which are presumably meant to limit gold farming activity. Trial players also aren&#039;t allowed to start parties, but they can join parties started by owners of the full game. All these sorts of restrictions will sound pretty familiar to FF14 players, and just as with that game, this trial is probably best paired with an experienced subscriber to the full game who can show you the ropes and help you party up. In any case, Final Fantasy 11 is long overdue for this kind of free trial expansion. The memes are easy to reference, but the real reason I keep evoking Final Fantasy 14 here is because it&#039;s the MMO I know, and that&#039;s in large part thanks to its generous introductory trial. But Final Fantasy 14 is very much a post-WoW theme park MMO whose biggest hooks are a strong story and accessible gameplay loop. Final Fantasy 11 is a lot crunchier and more player-driven, with esoteric gameplay systems and a big emphasis on letting players explore at their own pace and find their own fun. Some players swear by it, which is why FF11 is still running 24 years later. But when I tried it out many years ago with the original free trial, I found that the two-week time limit was far too intimidating to make much progress in understanding how the game works. I&#039;m not sure I can find space in my life to take another run at understanding FF11 these days, but the new free trial goes a long way toward making the possibility realistic. These are the best MMORPGs you can play today. [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Crimson Desert Charting the Unknown Expansion Delayed Two Weeks</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22583</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22583</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Crimson Desert&#039;s first expansion was only just announced at the State of Play in September with a very ambitious October 15 release date. Unfortunately, it seems that target was a little too ambitious.  Pearl Abyss announced that the Charting the Unknown expansion would be delayed by two weeks, in order to &quot;deliver a more polished and stable gameplay experience.&quot; But even with this delay, the new expansion is coming remarkably close to the game&#039;s initial release, and hopefully the developer will have even more content planned for the future.  The expansion comes just seven months after Crimson Desert intially released back on March 19. And while the reception to the game was mixed, a lot of its initial issues have since been ironed out, turning the game into one of the breakout hits of the year.  Hello, Greymanes. We would like to share an update regarding Crimson Desert’s upcoming DLC. https://t.co/mKNmYn10jX— Crimson Desert (@CrimsonDesert_) September 30, 2026 This first expansion will expand the game to a new zone, and will bring sea exploration to the already expansive world. Charting the unknown will also bring more robust base building, with the trailer suggesting you&#039;ll be able to actually build new buildings, which will only add another hundred hours to my play time.  Crimson Desert&#039;s Charting the Unknown expansion will now launch on October 29, and will set you back $24.99. And just like the base game, it&#039;ll be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC.    ]]></description>

<title>Dune Awakening boss says Denis Villeneuve feared the name &amp;quot;could be a little too close to Star Wars&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22569</link>

<description><![CDATA[  Working on a licensed game is a double-edged sword. Yes, you could get to contribute to one of your favorite properties, be that Star Wars or Batman, but there are often hoops to jump through in terms of approval. In the case of Dune: Awakening, Funcom&#039;s had to build a reputation for being solid custodians of the 61-year-old sci-fi epic. &quot;We submit things to Jira, [Legendary] approve within a certain amount of time,&quot; Jon Bylos, chief creative officer at Funcom, tells https://www.gamesindustry.biz/dune-awakenings-creative-director-on-copying-hollywood-in-game-advertising-and-why-style-beats-photorealism. &quot;If they don&#039;t approve within a certain amount of time, we escalate to them: &#039;Hey, we need you to approve this&#039;. Usually it&#039;s a pretty automated process. It runs pretty solidly.&quot; You might think Jira is some fancy software, but it&#039;s actually a mundane project management interface. Among its potential uses is a ticketing system for transferring issues from one team to another, as described here.https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/-VAzdms8TIE Legendary is the license holder for the Dune movies, having produced both of Denis Villeneuve&#039;s films based on Frank Herbert&#039;s novels so far. Most of the time, Funcom can go straight there for a yes or no on the proposed addition, which is remarkably streamlined for a situation like this. Often, you have tedious meetings and phone calls with multiple stakeholders before getting the go-ahead, wasting valuable development time. Occasionally, the devs are diverted to Herbert&#039;s estate, or the filmmaker himself for guidance or input. At one point, Villeneuve suggested the title Dune: Awakening &quot;could be a little too close to Star Wars,&quot; but Funcom trudged forward anyway. Bylos mentions there&#039;s a strong collaboration at this point. &quot;When you&#039;ve established that trust, the processes aren&#039;t necessarily as important: it&#039;s more about just knowing that the other people have the IP&#039;s back,&quot; he says. Dune: Awakening is now entering its second year, maintaining a community of people who enjoy riding sandworms around Arrakis. If all goes well, it&#039;ll continue growing well into the future. The spice must flow, as they say. Dune: Awakening lead says the MMO can be &quot;a really great&quot; solo experience, but if players &quot;expect it to be like The Last of Us, they&#039;re probably barking at the wrong tree&quot; [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Apex Legends: Matchmaking Test Results &amp; 09/30/2026</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22563</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22563</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For a fully localized version of this post, please visit here.INTRODuring our last season, Overclocked, we tested two temporary changes to Ranked matchmaking. Both went after the same thing, something we hear constantly and take seriously: it does not feel good to run into a stacked squad of the game&#039;s best players, especially when their Rank feels distant from your own.Ranked Matchmaking only works if you trust it. That means the system has to represent your skill accurately, show you honestly who you are up against, and put you in matches where climbing is possible if you play your best. Apex is a competitive game at its core, and Ranked is where players choose to test that.Below is what we found, and what happens next.THE PROBLEM WE WENT AFTERPremade stacks of high-skill players can create bad matches for everyone else, especially in relatively lower-skill lobbies. We see it in the data. Across Ranked, a squad with a premade duo plus a solo fill wins 19% more often than a squad of three solos. A full premade trio wins 17% more often. The behavior concentrates exactly where you would expect: 85% of Masters squads are premade three-stacks.Both tests were aimed at tackling the problem of premade squad advantages.THE TWO TESTSTest 1, premade tier restriction. You could still squad up, but only with players within one tier of you instead of two. The goal was to stop wide-band squads from dragging lower-tier players into high-tier lobbies.Test 2, solo queue only. Diamond, Master, and Predator players were locked to solo queue. No premades at all at the top end of play.For both tests, we wanted to measure two things: whether match quality actually improved, and how the change felt to play. The second matters as much as the first, and it is the one we can only answer by hearing what you tell us.TEST 1: THE TIER RESTRICTION CHANGED LITTLE FOR A SMALL GROUP OF PLAYERSDiamond players faced about 8% fewer Diamond opponents and roughly 8% more Platinum opponents. Platinum players saw more Diamonds in their lobbies. Outside those two tiers, nothing meaningful changed.A small improvement for a narrow slice of players was not worth the constraint on everyone else who was used to playing with friends within two rank tiers from them. As a result, at this time, we are not making the one-tier restriction permanent.TEST 2: SOLO QUEUE WORKED MECHANICALLY, BUT IT DID NOT DELIVER AN IMPROVED EXPERIENCEPremade three-stacks at the top of the ladder went away but the rest did not go the way we hoped.Who wins did not changeIf removing premades squads results in more even matches, we would expect the distance between the strongest squads in a lobby and everyone else to shrink. Coordination is an advantage that RP does not measure, so taking it away should have pulled the top of the lobby back to a more even playing field. Unfortunately, this number barely moved. In Diamond, match result distributions stayed roughly where they were. In Masters we saw a small dip in the top squads&#039; win rate, but the win-rate gap between the top 10 and the bottom 10 teams held at 9%. The best squad in the lobby still wins, whether or not they queued together.Exposure to top players got worse, not betterThis is the result we did not expect, and it is the most useful thing we learned.First, a brief overview of how a Ranked squad gets built. The matchmaker pulls 60 available players of similar RP into a lobby, sorts everyone by RP, and splits that list into thirds. Each squad gets one player from the top third, one from the middle, and one from the bottom. That is how it tries to keep teams even.When we took away the ability for Masters and above to squad up, most of them did not leave the lobby. They were distributed one per squad instead of clustering into a few, which means more squads in more matches contained a top-tier player. We broke up the stacks and spread them across the board.For a Diamond player, that reads as more matches with a Master or Predator in them than before.It also looked worse than it was on our pre-match skill display. A squad with one Masters player and a squad with three Predators currently show up identically. So when more players ran into solo high-tier players more often, the result was more red on screen before the match even started. This is the typical shift that was visible to players. These two games have exactly the same distribution of opponents (6 Predators, 36 Masters, and 18 Diamonds).We are going to continue to iterate on this display. Ranked play dropped among the players who play Ranked sociallyReturn rate here measures how many players came back to Apex during the test after playing in the days right before it. The weakest numbers were in Diamond and above cohorts who had been playing in duos and trios. These were not casual players drifting off. They were some of the most engaged players we have, and their Ranked play fell off during the window.That is ultimately the part of the test we cannot accept. Ranked m ]]></description>

<title>&amp;apos;We Have Been Gradually Preparing&amp;apos;: Capcom Already Has a Plan for When Its Resident Evil Remakes Catch Up With Newer Games</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22560</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22560</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Capcom has a plan for when its rollout of Resident Evil remakes eventually catches up with newer games in the series, and considers Resident Evil 7 as a &quot;turning point.&quot; That&#039;s according to Jun Takeuchi, a Capcom veteran who has served as excutive producer for the series over the past decade, who has acknowledged the fact that Capcom&#039;s hugely popular remakes are slowly running out of classic games to re-release. The publisher has already remade Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 to great success, with a new version of Code Veronica slated for next year.  It has previously been reported that a Resident Evil 0 remake will follow in 2028, and that a Resident Evil 1 remake has also been considered. Of the mainline Resident Evil games, this would then just leave Resident Evil 5 and 6 as the only titles left to get new versions — both of which would be interesting prospects, for separate reasons.  While Capcom likely has enough remakes to keep their releases going for another decade, there will come a point where the publisher needs to decide whether to remake other titles, or start remaking its remakes all over again. Or... do something else, Takeuchi teased.  &quot;The current Resident Evil series is being developed along two tracks,&quot; Takeuchi noted, writing in the just-released Biohazard 30th anniversary special magazine book now available in Japan (thanks, RENews_X, via The Gamer).  &quot;Someday, the remake series will catch up with the era of the numbered titles, and we are already thinking about what we will do when that happens,&quot; he continued. &quot;In fact, we have been gradually preparing for that since around Resident Evil Village. The appearance of names such as Umbrella and Spencer, as well as the return of Raccoon City in Requiem, are also in preparation for a &#039;crossover&#039;. &quot;At first, we included these elements with the sense that they were fan service, but users were far more delighted by them than we had imagined, and they even began analysing the thoughts that the development team had privately kept to itself. So, as a series, we decided to respond to users&#039; expectations and pushed this setup further in Village and Requiem.&quot; Takeuchi went on to state that Capcom regarded Resident Evil 7 &quot;as a turning point for the series&quot; as it was in development when its plans to start remaking older games really came to fruition. Does this mean that everything before 7 is set to be remade one day, while 7 and onwards is considered too new?  Resident Evil 5 sold hugely well, with particular interest in the game in the wake of the top-rated Resident Evil 4. (Sadly, 5 was nowhere near as good.) But any new version of the game would see Capcom returning to the controversy over 5&#039;s African setting and companion character Sheva. As for Resident Evil 6, which featured a range of protagonists, it just isn&#039;t very good. But perhaps Capcom could salvage it in an eventual new version? What&#039;s more interesting here is Capcom&#039;s suggestion that is using its remakes to seed ideas it will pick up again in newer titles, when that &quot;crossover&quot; point eventually happens. After all, Resident Evil has now been going for 30 years, which is a long time for anyone to remember plot details without being able to revisit early entries. For now, though, all of that is a long time off — and there&#039;s plenty to look forward to. The promising-looking Resident Evil Veronica is next on the docket, and we&#039;ve already asked Capcom some of our burning questions...  ]]></description>

Stir up religious debates (or bring them to an end), decide where the authority of the crown ends and the cross begins, and weigh your ambitions against the fate of your soul.By God Alone is available as part of Crusader Kings III: Chapter V, or as an individual purchase. Check out our release trailer below, followed by the changelog.By God Alone &amp; 1.20.0 &quot;Crozier&quot; Free Update Changelog​Expansion Features (Paid)​The Christian Church​Added the Christian Church, a Situation covering all of Christendom. Every Christian ruler of County tier or above is a participant. All participants share the same Chapter, modifiers, and Great Schism progress.Participants are sorted into six groups. The Main Power is the Christian Faith that holds the most Counties.Main Power (Clerical)Main Power (Secular)Secondary Powers (Clerical)Secondary Powers (Secular)Heretics (Clerical)Heretics (Secular)The Situation moves through Chapters. Each Chapter has its own Religion, Subject, Diplomacy, and Warfare modifiers, applied differently to each participant group.Chapters come in four types: Stability, Zeal, Instability, and Crisis. A Crisis Chapter can end in the Great Schism once Schism progress has reached its threshold.Seven Chapters, each with its own events:Fragile Unity (Instability)Saeculum Obscurum (Crisis)Conversion (Zeal)Reform (Instability)Investiture Controversy (Crisis)Crusade (Zeal)Concord (Stability)Catalysts move the Situation between Chapters. They include:Clerical marriage and childrenSimonyMurdered prelates, including Cardinals, Heads of Rite, and ArchbishopsCardinal appointmentsHoly warsExcommunicationsLost and reclaimed Holy SitesNew RitesAntipopesHeresy outbreaksEcumenical CouncilsConsecrated kingdomsGreat Project contributionsA Pope of the same dynasty three times in a rowAdded the Guide the Christian Church decision, available once every ten years. It triggers a Catalyst of your choice and pushes the Situation toward the Chapter you want. Taken as Head of Faith, it has four times the effect.Added the Christian Church window. It shows the current Chapter, participant groups, active modifiers, and Great Schism progress, with sub-windows for All Phases and History.Added events for the Saeculum Obscurum, Conversion, and Reform Chapters.Clerical Titles, Clerical Regions, and the Ecclesiastical Government​Added the Ecclesiastical Government for Christian clergy. Ecclesiastical rulers hold land as an office of the Church, and their titles pass by clerical succession.Added Clerical Titles and Clerical Regions, the Church&#039;s own spheres of influence parallel to the secular one. An Archdiocese is a Clerical Region held by an Archbishop. Its seat is the Clerical Region Capital, the County the region was founded on.Added ecclesiastical titles with holder history for 867, 1066, and 1178, including Aksum, Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem.Clerical Regions can be founded on any held title of Duchy tier or above.Clerical Regions convert neighboring Counties to their holder&#039;s Rite over timeAdded a Clerical Regions map mode. It shows each see&#039;s holder and Rite, and stripes Counties whose Rite differs from the region&#039;s.Added Lease Contracts. They set the terms between a secular ruler, the clergy leasing land inside their realm, and the clergy&#039;s Religious Superior.Church Obligations are set at Minimal, Mild, or Strong Centralization. They decide how much the leasing clergy contributes upward to their Religious Superior.Secular Obligations are set as Personal or Fixed. They decide how much the leasing clergy contributes to the secular ruler&#039;s income.Religious Superiors and Religious Subordinates form a hierarchy parallel to the feudal one, for both Theocratic and Ecclesiastical clergy.All clergy of a Faith now belong to that Faith&#039;s clerical organization. The link is used for succession and other functions.The Ecclesiastical Government uses a church Treasury. Most regular Treasury income comes from local income, unlike Administrative Treasuries, which are filled from a central point.Ecclesiastical and Theocratic rulers can hold any Temple holding directly. Temples in their domain that they do not hold directly are held by a Baron-tier Ecclesiastical vassal.When Ecclesiastical Rulers hold multiple titles of their primary Tier, the non-primary titles are kept together with the primary one on succession.Added Ecclesiastical Laws covering Cardinal benefices. A benefice grants a Cardinal a special Treasury income paid by the Pope.Added Clerical Elective and Clerical Appointment succession for Church seats. Clerical appointments favor the holder ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ We have received feedback from players regarding flight stick support in ACE COMBAT 8, and we know this is an important topic for some of our aces. At this time, some of the configuration options available for certain devices in ACE COMBAT 7 are not available in ACE COMBAT 8. We understand this can be frustrating for those who prefer flying with a HOTAS or flight stick setup, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The team is carefully reviewing the situation and working on improvements to make the experience more comfortable for flight stick users. While these changes may take time, we are exploring solutions and improvements to bring the flight stick experience closer to ACE COMBAT 7. We truly appreciate the passion and support of the flight stick community and will share further updates as soon as we have more information to share. The ACE COMBAT Team ]]></description>

<title>How to redeem Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22547</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22547</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Minecraft is an ever-expanding franchise, and there are frequent giveaways to celebrate this fact, including some of the Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes below. Minecraft skins have always been among players&#039; favorite ways to express themselves (outside of creative mode), and are a popular addition even in a single-player capacity. So, with the Minecraft Dungeons 2 launch, there too came some fresh customization options.While a few of the rewards listed below are redeemed automatically once requirements are met, one is a redemption code that needs to be claimed in-game. This differs to how you would redeem codes for the Minecraft vanilla game, perhaps leading to some confusion, so here&#039;s what you need to know.Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes  (Image credit: Mojang Studios) These are the Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes and rewards you can get right now: Reward How to claim Twisted Cape Pre-order Dungeons 2 (can no longer be obtained but can still be redeemed) Corrupted Creeper Cape Obtain a code from Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, Twitch drops, or TikTok watch rewards (can no longer be obtained but can still be redeemed) Hero Cape Log into Dungeons 2 with the same Minecraft account you&#039;ve used in Dungeons 1 before December 31, 2026. Soul Cape Purchase Minecraft Dungeons 2 Deluxe Edition Only one of these is an actual code, and that&#039;s the Corrupted Creeper Cape, which can sadly no longer be obtained, but can still be redeemed in-game if you were lucky enough to get one or participated in the Twitch and TikTok watch reward campaigns. If you&#039;re unsure how to do so, check out the instructions below. Rather than actually being codes, the other rewards are claimed in-game automatically once requirements have been met. Since there is a Minecraft Dungeons codes redemption box in-game, I&#039;d expect to see even more rewards shared this way in the future, and I&#039;ll share them here when they arrive.How to redeem Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes  (Image credit: Mojang Studios) To redeem Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes, enter the settings menu from in-game, then scroll to the bottom of the General settings menu, where you&#039;ll find the code redemption box. Enter your unique code here, hit enter or controller equivalent, and you&#039;ll be granted your rewards! There is another Minecraft Dungeons 2 reward available, the Aurora Cape, but while the reward is for watching Dungeons 2, it&#039;s only available to claim in the vanilla game, which must instead be done here. If you try to claim your Minecraft Dungeons 2 codes here, it won&#039;t work! While you&#039;re here, why not check out our Minecraft Dungeons 2 review, which compares it to a more grown-up ARPG, while discussing how it&#039;s also better than the first Dungeons game. © GamesRadar+.

<title>Halo’s former creative director urges Activision to hire laid off Bungie, Halo Studios devs</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22531</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22531</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Halo’s former creative director has urged Activision to hire former Bungie and Halo Studios staff to build the next game in the series, which he says should maintain the shooter’s sandbox DNA. The Halo franchise was put under the Call of Duty publisher’s control as part of widespread changes at Xbox announced earlier this month. Activision will take control of the Halo franchise going forwards, with “a new, purpose-built Halo team that is separate from ongoing development and plans for Call of Duty”. Former developer Halo Studios, meanwhile, will be downsized to a “small team” to support existing games. Read More... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  The Witcher 3 Remastered has finally arrived, coming as a free upgrade for players who have the original 2015 RPG – and, apparently, those who borrow it, too. If you happen to own the old Nintendo Switch version of the game – yes, the one from 2019 – you can insert it into your Switch 2 and access the full digital version of The Witcher 3 Remastered for Nintendo&#039;s newer console. A genius user over on Reddit figured out the real-life &quot;hack,&quot; so to speak, sharing a screenshot as evidence that they were able to snag the revamped RPG without having to pay for it. Yep, this also means that you can theoretically borrow a copy of the Switch game and just use it momentarily to register the remaster on your Switch 2, effectively rendering it entirely free for folks with pals who own The Witcher 3 already. As the Redditor writes, &quot;My brother and I were able to claim the full game virtual game card for both of our accounts with the same single cartridge!&quot; Hey – if it works, it works. If you have the physical copy of Witcher 3 on Switch 1, you are gifted the full digital copy of the Remaster, no need to use the cartridge after it  from r/gaming Fans seem thrilled that CD Projekt Red and Nintendo have allowed for this, unsurprisingly. One commenter sums it up perfectly: &quot;That&#039;s a genuinely generous way to handle it. Most publishers would have charged an upgrade fee, and letting the cartridge unlock a digital copy for more than one account is more than anyone expected. CD Projekt keeps doing this sort of thing and it&#039;s a big part of why people forgive them for Cyberpunk&#039;s launch.&quot; Yes, they referenced the disastrous Cyberpunk 2077 release – one that has been remedied, mind you – but they&#039;re not exactly wrong. This was a great way to handle The Witcher 3 Remastered. As another fan says, &quot;That should be a common thing with physical [copies], good job CD Projekt!&quot; I&#039;m inclined to agree myself, honestly. Here&#039;s to more companies following suit… and a Songs of the Past launch that&#039;s just as successful. Searching for some other new games to wishlist?

<title>Huge Deadlock Update Propels Valve&amp;apos;s MOBA Hero Shooter to the Top of the Steam Charts, Smashes Peak Concurrent Player Record</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22528</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22528</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Valve has issued a huge update to its in-development MOBA hero shooter Deadlock, propelling it to the top of Steam’s most-played games chart. The update significantly updated the map, added six new heroes, new mobs, objectives, updated the HUD, healthbars, the Shop, and much more. Valve has updated the Deadlock engine code to the latest version of Source 2, improved anti-cheat, prediction improvements, rendering performance, audio performance, item art, and added new SFX for all hero Heavy and Light Melee. There&#039;s loads more to this update, detailed on the Deadlock website. Deadlock hit a concurrent peak of over 220,000 players overnight, smashing its all-time concurrent peak and making it the sixth most-played game on Steam last night. Deadlock remains in early development, and access is limited to friend invites via Valve’s playtesters, so the concurrent peak is truly impressive. In a post on Steam, Valve issued an update on Deadlock development, and pointed to future updates. It said it’s working on large item redesigns and additions, and even alternate game modes “that expand the scope of the game,” although there’s no guarantee either makes it into the final launch version. Other future updates will focus on Midboss (both the model and the layout to a degree), Guardians and Walkers, “which we do consider important but just haven&#039;t gotten to yet and will be focusing on.” Hero remodels sound like they will be done later in the process, but we might see some of that work in upcoming updates. There is still no word on a release date or even a release window for Deadlock, nor when the game will be expanded with a beta. It remains a game that Valve is working on while it continues to support other big hitters such as Counter-Strike 2 (easily the biggest game on Steam even now), Dota 2 (easily the second-biggest game on Steam, even now), and, occasionally, Team Fortress 2 (which remains one of the most-played games on Steam, even now). Based on the interest in Deadlock even at this stage, it looks like Valve will have another Steam hit on its hands when it eventually does come out. And no, there isn’t a whiff of Half-Life 3 anywhere right now.  ]]></description>

<title>Stargate: Enemy At The Gate Is Proof This Series Will Never Die</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22524</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22524</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Stargate&#039;s larger influence on science fiction cannot be understated. While the franchise began with Roland Emmerich&#039;s 1994 film, it was MGM&#039;s sprawling television universe that transformed Stargate into a lasting genre institution. Stargate SG-1 became the centerpiece of the cult sensation, running for 10 seasons and building a passionate audience around its blend of military science fiction, ancient mythology, fascinating exploration of strange worlds, and of course, its signature style of humor that ensured the series never took itself too seriously. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  For Battlestar Galactica fans, the biggest question surrounding the franchise&#039;s future may no longer be whether it can return, but what that return should actually look like.

<description><![CDATA[  Saw has become one of the most expansive horror franchises of the 21st century, growing far beyond the somewhat straightforward premise of James Wan&#039;s original 2004 film. In the decades since, the series has produced nine additional movies, building an increasingly elaborate mythology around John Kramer, better known as Jigsaw, and the disciples who carried on his brutal philosophy. ]]></description>

<title>American Truck Simulator adds DLC where you don&amp;apos;t have to drive a truck, sets a new Steam record</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22509</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22509</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  There are few video game titles as descriptive as American Truck Simulator. You drive a simulated truck across America. Boom, branding perfection. It might seem like a betrayal of that core concept to release an expansion that lets you trade in the 18-wheelers for normal consumer cars, but that&#039;s exactly what the newly released Road Trip DLC is all about. Judging by the new all-time Steam player record the game just set, fans have been ready for the ride. &quot;American Truck Simulator&#039;s all time concurrent player record has been broken,&quot; developer SCS Software exclaims in a Bluesky post. &quot;Over 20,000 of you are currently in-game, either behind the wheel of a truck or hitting the road with our Road Trip: Ford DLC! We cannot thank you enough for your support over the years.&quot; As SteamDB shows, American Truck Simulator hit an all-time concurrent player peak of 21,318. That&#039;s the biggest concurrent player count since 2016, when the game first launched to 19,138 players. Those numbers might seem pitiful next to the biggest games on Steam, but few games have managed to keep an audience as consistent as the one that flocks to ATS. The Road Trip: Ford DLC launched earlier today with a selection of licensed Ford automobiles, including an F-150, Bronco, Crown Victoria, and &#039;67 Mustang. It&#039;s essentially an $8 pack of normal road vehicles, which you can take to either cruise at your own pace or use to take on new classes of delivery jobs. I&#039;ve been playing American Truck Simulator off and on since it first launched, and while I appreciate the simple economic challenges of buying truck upgrades and paying them off by hauling industrial cargo, the real appeal of the game is just cruising the long, lonesome highways that connect the various pieces of the US together. In real life, that&#039;s an arduous process made all the more inaccessible by the rising cost of fuel, and each state border crossed is an unpleasant reminder of the political barriers splitting the US apart. Hopping into a virtual Mustang and cruising Route 66 as the sun comes up over the horizon, though? I can start to imagine the hard work, apple pie, and hamburger America we&#039;ve been mythologizing for so long. At least for a moment. Check out the best simulator games you can play today.

<description><![CDATA[  Cozy gamers are spoiled for choice as of late, as seemingly every week a new indie gem is unveiled. Steam is home to life simulation games that scratch the same itch as even the most niche spin-off of The Sims, multiple Stardew Valley-inspired projects are in development, and games like Disney Dreamlight Valley continue to receive support. And in some rare cases, there are video games that combine aspects from multiple cozy classics, which is something that can be said about the beautiful Steam game Moonfrost. ]]></description>

<title>Another Steam page is going algorithmic as Valve aims to show &amp;quot;10x more games to customers&amp;quot;</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22504</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22504</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Steam is making a big change to one of its promotional pages, opting for an algorithm-based showcase of games instead of the current &quot;manual calendar-based approach.&quot; Steam has been gradually moving toward personalized algorithms to recommend games for years now, and in early 2027, the Discounts &amp; Events page, which as the name implies shows you themed sales and discounted games, is joining the club. In its announcement, Valve says the goal is to get more discounted games in front of Steam users. &quot;Currently, the Discounts &amp; Events section on Steam is made up of curated placements that are either scheduled directly by partners via Steamworks, or by us here on the Steam team,&quot; Valve says. &quot;By moving away from that approach, more discounted games or sale events will have the chance to be visible on the homepage and elsewhere on Steam, rather than be limited by a small, fixed number of slots.&quot; Valve says it&#039;s been experimenting with Steam&#039;s discovery features for a few months now and, in testing the algorithmic model with the Discounts &amp; Events page, was able to &quot;show 10x more games to customers in a given day in that section. &quot;As a result, we saw meaningful increases in store page visits, wishlists, and cart additions.&quot; This change potentially spells good news for discovery, but there are some concerns that it could have the opposite effect if Steam users are only being recommended sales based on what they typically interact with, which is what an algorithm does, generally. For instance, my Steam library is full of co-op horror games, RPGs, and cozy games, but there might be a first-person shooter or tactics game out there I would love if only it were recommended to me. But if Steam is recommending me sales based on an algorithm that goes off of my usual shopping and play habits, it wouldn&#039;t think to recommend me ones that sit outside my usual genres. Regardless, &quot;We have confidence this approach is better aligned with our goal, and results in a better experience for customers and developers,&quot; Valve says. &quot;The constraint of a manually managed calendar doesn&#039;t make as much sense with such diverse customer tastes and so many relevant deals for customers available at any given time.&quot; Valve says there&#039;s no &quot;definitive date for implementing these changes&quot; and that the fine details are still being hammered out, but going off what we know right now, it seems like the Discounts &amp; Events page will look a little more like a social media platform next year. Of course, you can still shop around other tabs if you want a more curated list of games, and the main Featured &amp; Recommended tab is still a mix of hand-curated picks and personalized spots, but the Discounts &amp; Events page specifically is fully embracing the algorithm. &quot;We don&#039;t believe this will be perfect right away, but we are confident the new system will result in better outcomes for customers and developers and are eager to share all the details once we have them,&quot; says Valve. &quot;Steam is on an absolute historic run&quot;: Valve quietly made a huge change that&#039;s helping game devs, says Hooded Horse CEO [/url] ]]></description>

<title>007 First Light Is Getting Free DLC Later This Week</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22507</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22507</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  007 First Light is getting new, free DLC later this week. IO Interactive has teased the new DLC via a short video on its socials, confirming it will arrive on Thursday, October 2. The DLC will be free, but as of right now, IO is remaining tight-lipped about what it will include. However, based on some prior info, we can likely assume that this is the long-awaited Aston Martin Valhalla update. This content has been teased since launch in the game&#039;s main menu, and it appears it&#039;s finally being added to the game. This is expected to include a new TacSim mission featuring the Aston Martin Valhalla, which is used near the end of the game as part of a massive set piece. Given the extensive wait, it seems hard to imagine this will be just a short, single TacSim mission. This may add some other items that were revealed as part of a larger roadmap for the game, such as new game+, new gadgets, and other missions and content. A free DLC is just around the bend. Tune in on October 1st.#007FirstLight #EarnTheNumber https://t.co/9uCpNDTPth— 007 First Light (@007GameIOI) September 29, 2026 We&#039;ll just have to sit tight and wait to see what exactly is in store, though. 007 First Light is also set to get a new story DLC centered around Bawama, the pirate king warlord played by Lenny Kravitz. There&#039;s no firm release date for that content, though it&#039;s expected to be a premium add-on rather than a free update like what&#039;s coming later this week. 007 First Light&#039;s Nintendo Switch 2 port is also still coming down the pipeline. It was expected to be out by now, but was recently pushed to 2027 to ensure it was as good as it could be for fans. It&#039;s unclear for how long IO Interactive plans to support this game, as it has continued to drop updates for Hitman many years after its release. Even without a steady stream of post-launch content, 007 First Light has been a big hit. The game sold 4 million copies in its first three months, and sequels are expected to follow, though it will likely be a while before they materialize.  ]]></description>

<title>&amp;apos;The Train Isn&amp;apos;t Stopping&amp;apos; — Diablo 4 Director Promises the Game Will Still Receive Support Well After Diablo 5 Launches</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22501</link>

<description><![CDATA[  Diablo 4 director Brent Gibson is telling fans not to worry about the game after Diablo 5’s announcement sparked concerns about the former title’s lifespan. Diablo 5’s reveal at Blizzcon 2026 left fans equal parts excited and worried. Of course, players were pumped for a new Diablo game — but with Diablo 4 having just launched in 2023, the reveal of a new game so soon felt like a death knell for the one they were still playing. But Brent Gibson, director of Diablo 4, says there’s nothing to fuss about. Speaking with Icy Veins, Gibson outlined some plans for the game’s future content, saying it will continue to receive support well after 5’s release. “I have an analogy,” he began. “If you’re wearing a sign in the middle of Times Square saying, ‘The end is nigh,’ the end is not nigh. We have a lot coming. We have [the] Amazon [class] coming down the road. The train isn’t stopping. “One of the things I love about our world is we are not a series of games. We are a universe. We are even adding to Diablo 2 with the Warlock. It’s one of the few franchises where we have the luxury of continued play, and we know our communities. “If you’re worried, don’t sweat it, because we’re going to be making content for a long time. But we are excited about Diablo 5. We’ve got a show coming. Gone are the years of waiting a decade for more content. It’s a great place to be.” More specifically, Gibson said Blizzard is planning on supporting seasons for Diablo 4 “as long as the community continues to show up” for it, specifically mentioning the ongoing support for Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.  “There are still people who play those games, and as long as you’re showing up, we’re going to continue to be making content,&quot; he assured. As Gibson mentioned, Diablo 4 is getting the Amazon class in the first half of 2027. With three more years to go until Diablo 5 is released, there’s still plenty of time for developers to flesh out the title with even more classes and experiences — something they spoke about during a dedicated Diablo panel at Blizzcon this year. “Diablo 4 has bright support,” Diablo 5 director Joe Shely said. “It&#039;s fully supported by the team. We were just announcing earlier today, coming to Diablo 4, the Amazon, the Season of Hell&#039;s legacy, Diablo 4 is coming to Switch 2, and there will continue to be ongoing support for Diablo 4. There&#039;s many reasons for players to keep playing.” “We have dedicated teams for each of those games because those games are important to us and they&#039;re really important for our community,” production director Tiffany Wat added. “I think it really gives us a really great opportunity to be able to collaborate together, to talk with one another. Even though we might be distinct teams, we still work together quite closely because ultimately we are making games for the Diablo community. I think it&#039;s the best time to be a Diablo fan.” For more Diablo news, you can check out our interview with the developers here, as well as catch up with their reaction to the series&#039; animated show coming to Netflix.  ]]></description>

<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22493</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every great community is built on a shared passion for the world it calls home, and creators are an extension of that foundation. Like a Daeva’s wings carries us across the skies of Atreia, creators carry the spirit and voice of that world through their content: exploring it, breaking down builds and lore, and turning big moments into something we all talk about.  As we approach the global launch of AION 2, we want to build a new pillar on top of that foundation. Say hello to the AION 2 Creator Program, the new home for creators, streamers and video producers who want to grow alongside us!  WHAT IS THE CREATOR PROGRAM The Creator Program is a new initiative for creators, streamers and video producers covering AION 2. It gives you opportunities to collaborate with the team, tools to grow your channel and rewards tied to what you put in.  If you&#039;re creating content on Twitch, YouTube, or short form platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok, this program is for you. It doesn&#039;t matter what stage you&#039;re at. We work with creators from their first tier all the way up to Partner. We may also extend select invites to creators outside these formats whose talent and passion for AION 2 comes through in their work. This can include cosplayers, podcasters, artists, and others. The program is built across three tiers, so wherever you are on your journey, there&#039;s a place for you to start. Affiliate: 500+ followers on a single platform, no viewership requirement.  Creator: 2,000+ followers on a single platform, along with roughly 20 average concurrent viewers while live streaming, or 5,000 total YouTube channel views over 30 days.  Partner: 50,000+ followers on a single platform, along with roughly 75 average concurrent viewers while live streaming, or 25,000 total YouTube channel views over 30 days. A quick note: the numbers above are guidelines, not hard walls, and acceptance below them is at the discretion of the AION 2 team. If we&#039;ve had great conversations with you, or see real potential in where you&#039;re headed, we&#039;re happy to bring you in. WHAT YOU GET AS A CREATOR Access to these benefits scales with your tier. Some of what&#039;s included:  Creator Program Event AccessInvitations to Official Community Events Twitch Drop Campaign Opportunities  Opportunities for direct Communication with NC Staff  Official Spotlight and Social Promotion  Community Giveaway Opportunities  Official Social and In-Game Creator Recognition We will continue to evaluate additional opportunities on an ongoing basis. POWERED BY LURKIT The Creator Program runs through Lurkit, a dedicated creator platform built to make applying, tracking, and managing your involvement simple. Through Lurkit, you&#039;ll be able to apply, keep tabs on your status, and access campaigns, all in one place. READY TO JOIN?Whether you’re already part of this story or ready to wander Atreia for the first time alongside us, we’d love to have you. Head over to \[[/b]LURKIT] and apply now.

<title>Get ready for The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past with a breakdown of everything you need to know about the new expansion</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22466</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22466</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past is a new expansion coming to The Witcher 3, and it promises to be the last new outing for Geralt before The Witcher 4 heads our way.  CD Projekt Red officially announced the third expansion back in May following a healthy string of rumors. With only the title to go on initially, Songs of the Past&#039;s official reveal came during Gamescom 2026 following the announcement of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered. The studio then showed off a demo of the expansion during a series of RedStreams, and offered more insight into the new region it will be drawing us into, as well as some story details.  Even though I personally find it hard to believe (because what is time), The Witcher 3 came out all the way back in 2015, it continues to be one of the best RPGs around over a decade later. While it&#039;s definitely exciting to know there&#039;s a slate of upcoming CD Projekt games in the works, I&#039;m happy to have some big reasons to return to The Witcher 3 thanks to the remaster and the upcoming DLC. So, if, like me, you can hardly wait to experience a new adventure with The Butcher of Blaviken and you find yourself wanting to learn more about what&#039;s in store in Songs of the Past, read on as I breakdown everything you need to know about the expansion.The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past release date specualtion  (Image credit: CDPR) The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past release date is slated for sometime in 2027.  The 2027 launch window was revealed when the expansion was first announced, but we&#039;re still awaiting a firm release date. With The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered landing on September 29, 2026, and The Witcher 4 &quot;targeting&quot; a 2028 release, Songs of the Past looks set to bridge the gap between the two sometime next year.  While we&#039;ll have to wait it out for an official update on the release date, it would be pretty neat to see Songs of the Past arrive in May to mirror the original release of the base game all the way back in 2015. The Witcher 3: Songs of the past platforms  (Image credit: CDPR) The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past expansion is coming to PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X when it releases in 2027.  Since new content is coming to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the remaster and Songs of the Past, CD Projekt Red confirmed changes have been made to specs, with amended minimum requirements on PC, which are: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Intel Core i5-8400GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GBVRAM: 6 GBRAM: 12 GBStorage: 70 GB SSDOS: 64-bit Windows 11The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past trailer https://content.jwplatform.com/players/HFaIZNNd.html The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past location   (Image credit: CDPR) The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past takes place in the new realm of Letten, an expansive region that CD Projekt Red says is a fully realized open-world &quot;comparable in scope&quot; to the sizable Blood and Wine expansion.  As detailed in the Gamescom 2026 Showcase Supercut video, Letten is yours to freely explore just like other regions in the expansive RPG, and is &quot;packed with new quests, interesting characters, places to find, and monsters to find&quot;. The area is known as &quot;the land of the plenty&quot;, with a lush, idyllic look and feel.  Said to be heavily inspired by the Polish and English countryside, with pagan-like architecture and customs, the world setting is &quot;sheltered from the conflicts&quot; that affect other parts of the continent.  The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine added a huge new region in the beautiful setting of Toussaint, which set the scene for a host of memorable questlines. To know Songs of the Past is echoing this scale is very exciting indeed. If you&#039;d like a refresher on the Blood and Wine expansion, you can check out our original The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine review for more. The Witcher 3 Songs of the Past story  (Image credit: CD Projekt Red) The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past&#039;s story follows Geralt as he travels to Letten to help his friend Dandelion with &quot;a family matter&quot;.  With the Gamescom 2026 showcase giving us a look at a demo of the upcoming expansion, the new region is actually revealed to be Dandelion&#039;s homeland, and as the member of a noble family (Dandelion&#039;s real name is Julian Alfred Pankratz, with the title of Viscount of Lettenhove), you&#039;ll actually be able to visit the grand manor where the lovable bard grew up.  The footage shows all is not well at home, though, with black banners denoting signs of mourning, which speak to why Dandelion has returned after many years away.   (Image credit: CD Projekt Red) While CD Projekt Red is keeping most of the story under wraps, the studio also teased that there&#039;s a dark secret lurking beneath the surface of Letten, and of course, we&#039;ll get wrapped up in it, too. Venturing to the Garden of Thorns, which is said to be the only flawed spot in the region that everyone avoids, you&#039;ll be joined by Dandelion&#039;s cousin Lilla as you go there to investigate an old Lettenhove family legend.  As the pair approach a thorny gate in the gard ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Showcase &amp; Event DetailsWhere to watch:Coffee Stain Studios YTCoffee Stain North YTShe Was Such A Good Horse YTWhen to watch: September 29, 2026 @ 19:00 CEST / 18:00 GMT / 13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT!What is this?!The Big Break Showcase is a new digital showcase built around a simple idea and a frankly unearned amount of confidence: use the reach of established, successful indie studios and publishers to give unpublished and emerging developers the kind of stage that&#039;s increasingly hard to come by. While, conveniently, promoting their own biggest upcoming news.Everyone wins, right!?Starting with no plan and zero clue what we were doing, we actually managed to gather a band of fellow merry adventurers to turn this into more than just a stupid idea. Now it’s a stupid idea with FRIENDS! Somehow it became a real show in the process. We’re honestly as surprised as you.During the showcase, you’re going to get a deluge of trailers, interviews, dev updates, and flashing lights across more than 40 different titles from the likes of Ghost Ship, Kinetic Publishing, Pugstorm, Raw Fury, Stunlock Studios, and a veritable brewing pot of new teams emerging onto the scene with their first games.Oh, and us. Coffee Stain’s various studios will also have shinies to share. For example, Goat Simulator doing an interview in a weird place, ensuring the important details of their announcements are garbled by wind and background noise. Satisfactory revealing too much before we were able to silence them. Ghost Ship brought a lot of rocks with their games, and a few stones too.There is even something about robot vacuums. And that’s just what we can say without breaking embargoes!Other things you might want to knowWin Free Stuff! There will be giveaways during the Premiere, so get in the chat and watch live. The Coffee Stain team will literally be throwing games at you, both visually and code-ily. (Terms &amp; Conditions)Take advantage of the special showcase bundle, and the event page with all the games listed right here on Steam!ParticipantsHere is the full list of studios involved, in no particular order:Coffee Stain (Studios &amp; North)Frame BreakGhost Ship GamesShe Was Such A Good HorsePugstormKinetic PublishingChop Chop GamesRaw FuryStunlock StudiosHypetrain DigitalNorthplayBitfire GamesSpeldosa InteractivePerfect RandomLava PotionTuxedo LabsRescue PartyDouble MooseLiving WorldsFunday GamesGrip JawIron GateInvisible WallsSplendid FailuresFeeble MindsSebastian Larsson &amp; Andrea HartyRegular MissileGloomkey StudiosPerfect PotionJonathan SmårsSolid Block of PowerBox DragonEasy Trigger...and more to be announced soon!And a couple of others who are unannounced to keep their games a super secret until the show!It&#039;s packed &amp; stacked for the showcase, and we&#039;re incredibly hyped for it.

<title>Why Control Resonant Developer Remedy Avoided Using Yellow Paint to Guide Players</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22463</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22463</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Control Resonant&#039;s director has explained how the team chose to handle exploration in a way that doesn&#039;t feel like it is holding the player&#039;s hand with things like yellow paint.  For a number of years now, some gamers have begun to feel like games provide players with more guidance than is necessary. One example of this is yellow paint, which basically highlights exactly where the player needs to go during exploration. Critics say that when this sort of navigation aid is heavy handed, it can be distracting and remove a sense of agency. Marvel&#039;s Wolverine, for example, was heavily criticized for its &quot;fart gas,&quot; a blue mist that Wolverine can sniff out to find his objective. Soon after launch, developer Insomniac added the ability to toggle it off. Control Resonant developer Remedy doesn&#039;t beat players over the head. It is an open-world game with zones that the player can freely explore, though sometimes it isn&#039;t always crystal clear where to go. Control Resonant director Mikael Kasurinen explained on the Dropping Frames podcast (via Kotaku) that it was important for the player to feel like they were figuring out this convoluted world themselves, rather than following flashing arrows. He noted that for players to get the most out of the world, they had to be active participants. “It’s so important that the players feel like they’re the ones figuring it out,” said Kasurinen. “It’s the job of us as creators to… I mean, it is a crafted experience at the end of the day, right? You have to find the right balance between ‘here’s the world’ and ‘here are the different themes and elements that you have to pay attention to.’ But it has to feel like it’s on you to make a decision on what to do with those elements that you see within the world. If it feels like it’s like ‘go here,’ it’s not anymore a decision for the player. Somebody already decided for you.” The director went on to note that Remedy recognized that it risked alienating players looking for a more guided and simple experience, but for those that really engage with it, it will be more rewarding and interesting. “People will be coming back to this game, exploring, trying to kind of find out things and so on,&quot; he added. &quot;It’s not something that you kind of go through, you did what you were told, and you’re done. It feels like, no, I made some choices in this game and you have that little little question: Did I make the right choices? And I want that f***ing question. I want people to think like that. I want them to kind of, you know, doubt, go back, check again, see what they could do differently, because that’s life. That’s what makes it sticky and interesting.” Another developer with a similar philosophy to Remedy&#039;s is Warlock: Dungeons &amp; Dragons studio Invoke. Dominic Guay, General Manager at Invoke Studios, told IGN at gamescom 2026 that the developers avoided putting waypoints into the game because they want players to actually explore. The open-world single-player action-adventure goes easy on the hand-holding by ditching traditional quest markers that guide players directly from one story section to the next. While it does have a compass on the top of the screen — which you can turn off — the player is left to work out where to go by exploring, talking to NPCs, and thinking about what to do next. “We wanted them to engage with the world, to figure things out and feel that when they found things, it was based on their actions and not just blindly trusting a waypoint,” Guay said. IGN&#039;s Control Resonant review returned an 8/10. We said: &quot;Even when combat&#039;s sharp edge eventually dulls, Control Resonant is a great addition to the Remedyverse,&quot; reads an excerpt from the review. &quot;While its story follows a more standard framework, its gravitational pull is in the inventive world built around it and the humanization that grounds the paranatural intrigue.&quot;  ]]></description>

I&#039;m the content designer working on Canada (obviously the most important nation in the DLC), and I&#039;m well underway but I&#039;d figure I&#039;d swing by and ask you some questions about the existing Canada content: Is there anything in particular you like about it? Is there anything in particular you don&#039;t like about it? Is there anything you feel is missing? When you play Canada, is there any specific type of playstyle you like, and if so why? For example, “I love creating an air force and sending them to the UK”, or “I love the idea of being a thorn in the side of my southern neighbour”?  Thanks in advance, and I&#039;m really excited about showing you more in the future™ ]]></description>

<title>Guillermo Del Toro Reveals He Tried to Adapt BioShock Into a Movie, but &amp;apos;Disastrous&amp;apos; Phone Call Ended the Project Before It Began</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22451</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22451</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro confirmed that he was involved in early concepts for a BioShock movie, but said the project was ultimately scrapped after a “disastrous” phone call. Speaking with IGN as part of the IGN30 Icons Series, del Toro admitted that he “never” wants to make a video game again — and while he was previously open to adapting existing games into films, his last attempts at doing so ended in disaster. It’s been long-rumored that del Toro was involved in a movie adaptation of Bioshock that never got off the ground. Back in 2017, he even admitted that he’d love to see the game’s story brought to the silver screen after a previous attempt, with Gore Verbinski attached, never got made. Years later, he has officially confirmed his relationship with a BioShock adaptation, though it never saw the light of day — and it seems there was some drama behind its premature demise. “You know, I tried,” he told us when asked if he’d ever want to make a film adaptation of a game. “We had a very contentious call about a couple of games. I find that the dynamics of a video game are very different than a movie. They may be cinematically similar in terms of the camera moving and this and that, but the storytelling is very different, because you&#039;re not solving puzzles. You&#039;re not assembling.  “When we made the structure for Insane, we created what I call a mandala. You have to give the illusion of an infinite sandbox and you lead audiences to the right or to the left through their ‘own decisions,’ but you sort of have to corner them. So it&#039;s a very different thing.  “So adapting it, Bioshock, we had a couple of calls. They are probably one of the most disastrous calls I&#039;ve ever had. So no, f**k no.” While he didn’t go into detail about what made these calls so “contentious” and “disastrous,” the conversations seem to have put a sour taste in his mouth — which is a shame, because a BioShock movie with del Toro at the helm sounds like the best thing since sliced bread. It’s one of his favorite games, after all, a fact that he also shared with us in this same interview. It’s one of several titles that he listed off the cuff, though not the most surprising one; that title goes to Angry Birds, which del Toro says he plays almost every day. And although Del Toro has been involved with several major video games over the years (PT, Death Stranding), he told us he’s hesitant to make his own games after Insane, his planned trilogy of dark, cinematic games, never got released. “Never again,” he told us. “No, not at all, because it&#039;s simply too — we developed Insane, and then that went down. A lot of the ideas later, I saw stuff that was done in other video games that was similar. And I went, ‘Well, somebody did it. That&#039;s great.’ But we were aiming really high.” Speaking of PT and Death Stranding, The Pan’s Labyrinth creator has expressed no shortage of love for Kojima’s games, calling him a “pure artist” and admitting that the grand majority of PT was entirely Kojima&#039;s idea. “I mean, I&#039;m glad to get on the ride for free, but everything that ended up being PT, it was him,” he said. “…I love that man. He&#039;s one of those guys you meet that you go, you might as well be in the Renaissance. You are in front of a pure artist and he cares about one thing, stories. That&#039;s it.” Our full, extended interview with Guillermo del Toro is available to watch now. If you&#039;re hungry for more interviews, you can check out a previous episode of the IGN30 Icons Series, where we chatted with Ken Levine, creator of famed games like System Shock 2 and its spiritual successor, Bioshock.   ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka has said he believes the franchise is only halfway to reaching its full potential, after a Sega licensing exec suggested the company is focusing on appealing to “underserved demographics”. Since the first Sonic film was released in 2020, it’s become a billion-dollar movie franchise. Sonic also now generates over $1 billion annually through licensing alone, according to Sega – a remarkable feat for a franchise the company allegedly once wanted to cancel. Speaking in the latest issue of Japanese magazine Continue (transcribed by VGC), Iizuka was asked for his outlook on the future of the Sonic franchise, following this year’s 35th anniversary.

<title>New Action Roguelike PC Game is Essentially Minecraft Meets Vampire Survivors</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22431</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22431</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Vampire Survivors took the internet by storm when it was released in 2022, and given that success, it’s no surprise that other indie developers are striving to follow in its footsteps. It became a modern classic partially due to its gameplay loop, which brought quick-but-satisfying leveling and deep buildcrafting, and partially due to its extremely low price tag. Being the ideal Steam Deck game helped, too, and since its debut, the franchise has expanded to have its own card game. Vampire Survivors has also become available on multiple platforms. For players seeking a new experience in the same vein as Vampire Survivors, Voxie Survivor has them covered on PC. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Stargate has been one of science fiction&#039;s most beloved franchises for more than three decades, growing far beyond Roland Emmerich&#039;s original 1994 film into a sprawling universe reaching into every corner of media. Much of that legacy belongs to Stargate SG-1, which ran for 10 seasons and transformed the concept into a beloved television universe, eventually spawning Stargate Atlantis and giving Jason Momoa the spotlight in his early career, as well as Stargate Universe, additional movies, games, novels, and more. ]]></description>

<title>Cyberpunk 2077 dev doesn&amp;apos;t think Phantom Liberty&amp;apos;s success &amp;quot;erases&amp;quot; the launch of the base game</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22419</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22419</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Cyberpunk 2077&#039;s redemption arc is long complete, 2023&#039;s acclaimed Phantom Liberty expansion cementing the RPG&#039;s legacy as one of this generation&#039;s all-time greats. Even as I sit here in 2026 writing this, it&#039;s still jarring to talk about Cyberpunk 2077 in such a uniformly positive light, and that&#039;s because I was doing this exact same job back in December 2020 when the game finally launched after multiple delays... and got absolutely dragged through the mud. We have a curated list of the best Cyberpunk 2077 bugs we could find at the time, if that gives you an idea of the state of the game at launch. Shortly after launch, developer CD Projekt Red began rapid firing patches and updates at Cyberpunk 2077 in an effort to address widespread performance and technical issues, culminating in the massive 1.5 &quot;next-gen&quot; update that really marked a turning point in the game&#039;s overall trajectory. The whole Edgerunners update and Netflix tie-in sealed the deal, and Phantom Liberty felt like icing on the cake. Cyberpunk 2077 was back, baby. And yet, its initial launch was so disastrous that it&#039;ll forever remain a scar on CDPR&#039;s resume, a fact not lost on designer Pawel Sasko. Reflecting on three years of Phantom Liberty in a lengthy Twitter post, Sasko says: &quot;I do not think Phantom Liberty erases the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, and I would never want to tell our story that way.&quot; I have a feeling there&#039;s a part of every person working at CDPR that wishes things were handled differently at Cyberpunk 2077&#039;s launch, but I admire Sasko&#039;s acknowledgment of the very real issues paying customers like myself faced six years ago. &quot;Phantom Liberty sold more than 15 million copies by now. I am incredibly grateful for those numbers, but what stays with me most after three years is what making this expansion taught me about directing games, trusting people, making choices meaningful, giving characters space to breathe and accepting the scars that come with making something this difficult,&quot; he writes. Not to beat a previously dead horse, but Cyberpunk 2077&#039;s launch wasn&#039;t just a technical mess. It was a full-blown disaster, prompting several storefronts to offer refunds and Sony to issue a warning on the PlayStation Store not to buy the game on PS4. Yes, Phantom Liberty is great, and yes, it absolutely does not &quot;erase the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.&quot; CD Projekt Red worked backwards from Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty&#039;s brutal final choice &quot;and rewrote scenes many times,&quot; lead dev says [/url] ]]></description>

<title>Advanced Access Server Matchmaking </title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22413</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22413</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prepare yourselves Daevas! The first Elyos and Asmodian server pairings have been revealed. Find your advanced access server below to see which server will become your first enemy in Atreia. What is Server Matchmaking?In Aion 2, the Elyos and Asmodians each live on their own servers. But the war between the factions doesn&#039;t stay behind borders for long. As you journey through Atreia, you&#039;ll get chances to face the opposing faction in modes such as Spacetime Rifts and the Abyss. To bring the two sides together, each Elyos server is paired with an Asmodian server for a limited time. Whenever you enter the Abyss or another cross-faction mode, the players you meet from the other faction will come from your matched server.  For example, if the Asmodian server Israphel is paired with the Elyos server Siel, every Israphel Asmodian who enters the Abyss will run into Siel&#039;s Elyos. Those are the players you&#039;ll be clashing with, competing against, and… holding grudges against.  Advanced Access Server Pairings EuropePair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1 SielIsraphel2 NezekanZikel3 VaizelTriniel4 KaisinelLumiel NA WestPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1 SielIsraphelNA EastPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1 SielIsraphel2 NezekanZikelLATAMPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1 SielIsraphel2 NezekanZikelASIAPair # Elyos Server Asmodian Server 1 SielIsraphelWill My Server Pairing Always Be the Same? No. We will update server pairings periodically to keep the factions balanced. Today&#039;s pairing may be replaced by a new challenger down the road, so make your mark while you can. Represent your faction and show what your server is made of.

<title>Resident Evil Fans Have Already Modded Austin Abrams&amp;apos; Character from the Movie Into RE2</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22415</link>

<description><![CDATA[  As Zach Cregger&#039;s Resident Evil movie spreads to theaters across the globe, one dedicated fan has managed to create a Resident Evil 2 mod featuring Austin Abrams&#039; character, Bryan. Considering the modding community&#039;s history with Capcom&#039;s legendary survival horror game franchise, a mod based on the new live-action adaptation felt inevitable. A little more than one week after the film&#039;s premiere, Nexus Mods user D0ct0rSauce has unveiled a Bryan skin, a mod that allows players to keep the unfortunate courier&#039;s horrific run through Raccoon City going in Resident Evil 2. While Abrams is the one delivering Bryan&#039;s shrieks and screams throughout Resident Evil&#039;s hour-and-a-half runtime, this fan-made version of the character isn&#039;t quite as detailed. This is more like a PlayStation 1-inspired version of the character, breaking him down to just a few simple polygons as a replacement for Leon&#039;s retro skin. You can see gameplay footage of the mod, featuring art created by X/Twitter user @mindnumb_opus, below. thanks to @mindnumb_opus &#039; excellent 3D artwork, i&#039;m excited to reveal a mod we&#039;ve developed that makes bryan from the new resident evil movie playable in resident evil 2 remake!#ResidentEvilㅤ #biohazard #bryanhodukavich #REBHFUN https://t.co/VrOs4r6SqY— dr. sauce (@realdoctorsauce) September 26, 2026 / shitty gameplay. but check out bryan :D https://t.co/SFkokWc0h2— bryan resident evil (@thcourier) September 27, 2026 Resident Evil brought Bryan to theaters when it premiered September 18, 2026. Cregger&#039;s latest horror flick managed to exceed expectations with a $108 million global debut. It&#039;s an opening tally that earned its place as the biggest first weekend in franchise history just days after reviews cemented it as the highest-rated video game adaptation of all time. The movie then continued its theatrical run in weekend two with an additional $50 million added to the pot. Its total now stands at more than $196.5 million, a number that far exceeds its reported budget of $75 million (via Variety). IGN gave it an 8/10 review. We said, &quot;With a laser focus on putting its hero through the worst night of his life, Resident Evil is a simple and exciting survival horror story that benefits greatly from director Zach Cregger’s sensibilities.&quot; don’t look at me as I repost this for the third time, I’m so sorry— (2/2) https://t.co/sAkxaveJKO— Opus (@mindnumb_opus) September 11, 2026 Resident Evil 2 players on PC can imagine Abrams&#039; Bryan surviving the game&#039;s take on the fall of Raccoon City thanks to D0ct0rSauce and @mindnumb_opus&#039; work. While we wait to see what the modding community cooks up next, you can catch a glimpse of how Cregger used some creative tricks to bring the film&#039;s most wicked creation to life. You can also check out the Resident Evil Requiem mod that added Resident Evil 4&#039;s merchant to the game.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  &quot;Final Fantasy 7 PC&quot; is not an immediately intuitive combination of numbers and letters. Am I talking about the old trapezoid box version released in 1998?

<title>Zach Cregger&amp;apos;s Resident Evil Movie Is So Popular, It Increased RE2 Remake Sales by More Than 50% on PS5</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22416</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22416</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Data shows that Zach Cregger’s film adaptation of Capcom’s flagship horror franchise was so successful, it boosted sales for copies of both Resident Evil 2 Remake and RE4’s 2023 remake on the PlayStation 5. Cregger’s Resident Evil has enjoyed resounding success on all fronts; not only is it the single most-profitable Resident Evil movie ever made, it’s also helping sales for the games it’s based on. Stats aggregated by Alinea Analytics show that the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 4 (2023) enjoyed a massive boost in the week after Cregger’s movie hit theaters. As told in a substack post written by Alinea Analytics’ Rhys Elliot, RE2 remake and RE 4 (2023) enjoyed a whopping 64% and 54% increase in PS5 sales, respectively. With Steam copies added to the mix, the games got bumped up by an additional 11% and 14%, respectively. On PlayStation, this means the two games’ revenue increased by a jaw-dropping 80% and 84%, though it’s also worth noting that Capcom slashed prices for the games about 10 days before Cregger’s movie hit theaters. Elliot points out that, while deep discounts made up for most of these impressive numbers beforehand, Austin Abrams’ deeply relatable performance as Bryan moved the needle quite a bit in the week afterwards, which also translated to increased player numbers. Daily active users across several major Resident Evil titles increased after September 18, with RE2R having the largest surge at 48%, jumping from ~78K to ~116K daily players. This makes sense, given that Cregger’s film takes place parallel to the events of this particular game. Resident Evil 4 (2023) players increased 24%, Resident Evil 3 Remake jumped up 25%, and Resident Evil Requiem saw a 20% increase in active players. Requiem also recently passed $500 million in total lifetime revenue, with a whopping 91% of sales for the game happening across PlayStation and Steam. In fact, this particular game drove PlayStation and PC sales in Japan within the first half of 2026, increasing by 13% to 21 million copies sold. With the Code Veronica remake on the horizon, Resident Evil fans are getting fed by the Capgods, who have similarly enjoyed a wonderful year with three highly rated game releases. Onimusha: Way of the Sword was critically acclaimed upon launch, and Pragmata surprised critics and casual players alike with its innovative gameplay and tear-jerking story. For more Resident Evil news, check out this viral behind-the-scenes footage of stunt performers who worked on Cregger’s film, showing how they brought its main stalker monster to life. You can also read our interview with Cregger here, where he admits that he was “naive” to think hardcore fans would be pleased with him avoiding a direct adaptation of the games — though those box office numbers seem to be telling a different story.  ]]></description>

<title>Naughty Dog Will &amp;apos;Fully Reveal&amp;apos; Intergalactic in 2027, but No Release Window Yet</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22410</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22410</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Naughty Dog studio head Neil Druckmann concluded this year&#039;s &quot;The Last of Us Day&quot; by giving updates on the developer&#039;s current projects, teasing two new The Last of Us projects that &quot;will expand the canon of The Last of Us beyond Part I and Part II&quot; without confirming whether or not either one of them is a game, as well as saying that its next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Project, will be &quot;fully reveal[ed]&quot; next year. Writing on the Naughty Dog blog, Druckmann thanked fans for helping raise over $11,000 for AbleGamers before addressing the status of the studio&#039;s ongoing projects. Regarding The Last of Us, which he recently said the developer was &quot;not done&quot; with, Druckmann clarified that previous tease by specifically saying that the team has two TLOU projects on its plate. &quot;We have a couple of very exciting new projects in very early stages – so we can’t say much about them at this point,&quot; he said. &quot;I will tell you that both projects will expand the canon of The Last of Us beyond Part I and Part II. The world of The Last of Us means a great deal to us, and we wouldn’t return to it unless we had something meaningful to say. We believe these stories are worth telling.&quot; Regarding Naughty Dog&#039;s next game, the sci-fi Intergalactic: The Heretic Project, Druckmann said that the studio will stay quiet for the few remaining months of the year, but &quot;in 2027, that changes. We’ll fully reveal Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and give you a proper look at Jordan’s wild sci-fi adventure.&quot; He also called it Naughty Dog&#039;s most ambitious project yet, and asked fans for their patience, perhaps an indirect olive branch to fans who were frustrated by Intergalactic&#039;s no-show at the recent Sony State of Play. &quot;There’s an electricity around the studio right now as all the pieces come together, and we’re stoked to finally unveil Intergalactic in all its glory,&quot; he said. &quot;But…we need to cook for just a little bit longer.&quot; Druckmann concluded with, &quot;We know it’s been a long time since we’ve had much to share with you. We don’t take your continued support for granted. We’re working incredibly hard to make something worthy of your patience.&quot; Meanwhile, it looks like the HBO TV series adaptation of The Last of Us will wrap up with the upcoming third season.  ]]></description>

<title>&amp;apos;As Far as I&amp;apos;m Concerned, That&amp;apos;s a Step in the Right Direction&amp;apos; — Path of Exile Dev Optimistic About Diablo 5</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22398</link>
<guid>https://news.jatlink.uk/22398</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  While Diablo 5 was announced at Blizzcon 2026 just a couple weeks ago, the game doesn&#039;t come out until spring 2029. But it seems like Chris Wilson, former co-founder of Path of Exile developer Grinding Gear Games, is tentatively excited for Blizzard&#039;s next ARPG.  Wilson, who left Grinding Gear Games in 2023, released a video over the weekend where he broke down everything Blizzard has announced about the upcoming Diablo game, from its story to itemization and monster levels. And while he did have some nitpicks, it seems like he&#039;s cautiously optimistic that the Diablo series is headed in the right direction, because of the influence the seminal Diablo 2 seems to have on it so far.  Wilson is particularly fond of the new character and inventory screen, where items once again boast different sizes, along with stats that are more in line with Diablo 2. However, there are some modern choices, such as a flat DPS number on weapons, that rub him the wrong way. Still, he recognizes that Diablo 5 can&#039;t fully embrace Diablo 2&#039;s at-times clunky design.  &quot;There&#039;s a bigger question if they&#039;re going to go all the way and risk alienating the modern audience that they&#039;ve cultivated over the last couple of decades,&quot; he said. &quot;I don&#039;t think they necessarily should. While selfishly it&#039;d be amazing for them to make a new version of Diablo 2 just for me, I don&#039;t think they could justify an investment of that size for a game with a niche audience.&quot;  Instead, Wilson expects that Diablo V will try to adopt the best of both worlds, with a &quot;modern ARPG that borrows heavily from Diablo 2, rather than a true return to the design philosophy of Diablo 2.&quot;  But even though the game is still a couple years away, according to Blizzard, Wilson thinks Diablo 5 is going to end up delayed. He says, &quot;My best guess is the game won&#039;t be ready for spring 2029, but that&#039;s okay, delays happen and are normal in this industry. I can&#039;t count the amount of times I had to delay a Path of Exile League release and players were okay with it.&quot;  If anything, delaying Diablo 5 would give Diablo 4 more room to breathe. Just like a lot of players, Wilson feels like the early announcement of D5 is a sign that Blizzard is abandoing Diablo 4 – even if Blizzard itself has denied that in an interview with PC Gamer. Instead, Blizzard is going to keep developing the story with new seasons, the latest of which is a 30-year celebration of the franchise.  I&#039;ve already spent almost 50 hours in Season 15 alone, and have been having a blast with all the nostalgic content Blizzard added this time around. Chris Wilson is less amused by it, saying, &quot;To be honest, this event feels pretty distasteful to me,&quot; because &quot;Diablo 4 was slowly building up to you being able to fight all the prime evils, then they introduce them all at once in a special event that isn&#039;t really tied to the games story.&quot; Regardless, new seasons will continue to filter out to Diablo 4 over the next year and a half. Blizzard will also be adding Diablo 2&#039;s Amazon class to the game in a DLC pack early next year. Speaking of classes, the company has also revealed a handful of the classes coming to Diablo 5, and that at launch the new game will apparently have more classes available than in any previous Diablo game. I&#039;m just hoping they bring back the Demon Hunter from Diablo 3.  ]]></description>

<title>The MSI Codex Z2C RTX 5070 Prebuilt Gaming PC Drops to $1399 and Includes Control: Resonant</title>
<link>https://news.jatlink.uk/22400</link>

<description><![CDATA[  B&amp;H Photo is offering a solid deal on a prebuilt desktop computer that excels at 1080p and 1440p gaming. For a limited time you can pick up a brand new MSI Codex Z2C RTX 5070 gaming PC for just $1,399 with free shipping. The system comes with a download voucher for Control: Resonant, but you better hurry because this promotion requires a PC purchase by September 29. Redemption instructions are found on Nvidia&#039;s website.The MSI Codex Z2C RTX 5070 Gaming PC Drops to $1399 The MSI Codex Z2C gaming PC is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Ryzen 7 8700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor with a max boost clock of 5.1GHz. It&#039;s not the fastest or newest AMD CPU, but it&#039;s still a solid gaming CPU that won&#039;t bottleneck the GPU, especially at the higher resolutions you should be playing at if you own a 5070 Ti. A 750W PSU powers the system.The GeForce RTX 5070 GPU is an excellent choice for 1080p or 1440p gaming The GeForce RTX 5070 is the best Nvidia card for 1080p and 1440p gaming and by itself this card retails for $600 (although generally it&#039;s higher these days). It&#039;s also powerful enough to run most games at 4K, although at that point you&#039;ll see noticeable gains jumping up to a 5070 Ti. Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers a slight performance improvement over the RTX 4070 Super, which was and still is an excellent GPU. The fps gain is greater in games that support DLSS 4.5 with multi-frame generation. Check out our RTX 5070 review.
