RuneScape doesn't feel like RuneScape without the ability to spend hours of your life fishing. In fact, levelling that essential skill is a quintessential part of the experience, so when RuneScape: Dragonwilds released with no fishing element—I can't lie—I was incredibly disappointed. Fortunately, we don't have much longer to wait, and it has been revealed that fishing will come to Ashenfall on April 21... Read more.View the full article

Capcom "implemented a range of marketing initiatives" to get hereView the full article

Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced. In its sales announcement, the Japanese game company highlighted Pragmata’s status as a new intellectual property. “A completely new IP, Pragmata was developed primarily by a team of younger Capcom developers, who created an innovative gameplay experience by fusing action gameplay with puzzle elements set within a distinctive world ruled over by artificial intelligence,” Capcom said. “In the absence of an established fan base or preexisting brand recognition, Capcom implemented a range of marketing initiatives — beginning with the early release of a playable demo — to communicate the unique features of the game to a wider audience. In addition, in line with the company’s multiplatform strategy, Capcom broadened the title’s availability by adding support for Nintendo Switch 2 at an early stage. As a result, these initiatives generated significant momentum, enabling Pragmata to achieve worldwide sales of over 1 million units in just two days despite being a completely new IP, marking a strong start for the title." Pragmata is a sci-fi action-adventure game that revolves around Hugh, a member of an ill-fated investigation team, and Diana, a young android, as they navigate a lunar facility taken over by rogue AI in search of a way to Earth. There’s even a comment from the Pragmata development team, which also doubled down on the game being a new IP: "As a completely new IP, Pragmata represents a new challenge for Capcom, built from the ground up with an original world and gameplay concept. We are truly delighted that so many players around the world have enjoyed the game, enabling us to reach this milestone of 1 million units sold. Moving forward, we will continue making every effort to deliver the appeal of Pragmata to an even broader audience." It sounds like Pragmata is a success for Capcom, then, and that last line there about delivering Pragmata to an even broader audience suggests this is the start of a new franchise for the publisher. IGN's Pragmata review returned an 8/10. We said: "Punchy shooting action and a creative hacking-puzzle gameplay mechanic make combat the true highlight of Pragmata. The story may seem like an afterthought, but its sci-fi drama gives enough to see it all the way through and experience this satisfying third-person shooter." Wesley is Director, News at IGN.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 star Charlie Cox has discussed the hit video game's upcoming movie adaptation — and expressed interest in providing a very specific part. In the game, Cox provides the voice of hero Gustave — but not his performance capture or his facial likeness, which appears very similar to Batman actor Robert Pattinson. It's a situation that has led Cox to frequently downplay his actual involvement in the game's production — despite continually being praised for his contribution. Now, Cox has said he would be happy to return to provide the voice of Gustave in live-action, though humorously suggested it should be Robert Pattinson himself who does the acting. (Whether Pattinson would be interested in the role, or being dubbed over by Cox, is another matter.) "My involvement with this, as minuscule as it was originally and how it's now expanded so much, has been nothing but an incredibly humbling and enjoyable experience," Cox told GamesRadar+. "So, yeah, absolutely, yeah. I was thinking that they should probably – if they make the movie – they should get Robert Pattinson to play the part, and I should do the voice. Because then they would have pretty much the exact Gustave from the game." While many fans have suggested Gustave's looks were based on Pattinson's own face, developer Sandfall Interactive has maintained that the character is based upon one of its own employees, with a handsome mustache then added. Cox was speaking at the BAFTA Games Awards 2026, where the widely-praised Clair Obscur snagged yet more prizes — this time for Best Game, Debut Game, and Performer in a Leading Role for Jennifer English. Plans for a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 live-action movie adaptation were announced prior to the game's release, with Sandfall partnering with Story Kitchen, the production company behind the hugely successful Sonic the Hedgehog films, as well as the upcoming Tomb Raider TV series starring Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner. No other details about the film such as casting or a release window have been revealed. Image credit: John Nacion/Variety via Getty Images. Tom Phillips is IGN's News Editor.

Battlestate Games has released update 1.0.4.5 for Escape from Tarkov, which makes a number of improvements and balance changes. The influential extraction shooter has increased the FPS limit in menus, and made changes to the animation system and audio engine to improve PC resource usage. Meanwhile, the architecture of post-raid systems is reworked to reduce the time required to exit a raid and return to the menu. Also of note, Battlestate has updated the left-shoulder firing stance logic, so switching to the right shoulder will no longer happen instantly when colliding with obstacles. Instead, the weapon will continue moving for a short ******* without changing stance. As for balance changes, Battlestate has introduced the second stage of weapon mod adjustments, focusing on barrels and handguards. The patch notes, as per Battlestate Games, are below. Escape from Tarkov update 1.0.4.5 patch notes:ChangesImprovements aimed at optimizing off-raid screens;Increased the FPS limit in menus and added an option to adjust it in the game settings;Several changes to the animation system and audio engine to improve PC resource usage;Reworked the architecture of post-raid systems to further reduce the time required to exit a raid and return to the menu;As part of optimization efforts, an updated player culling system has been implemented on Lighthouse, Shoreline, Woods, and Ground Zero. The system will be introduced to the remaining locations in future updates;Implemented an iteration of environment object and geometry optimization for Streets of Tarkov to improve location performance; Please note that the impact of these changes will depend on your PC configuration and in-game settings. Introduced a task progression protection system in local PvE Zone raids in case of unexpected client shutdowns. If the game closes unexpectedly, task progress will now revert to the state at the start of the raid;Updated the left-shoulder firing stance logic. Switching to the right shoulder will no longer happen instantly when colliding with obstacles. Instead, the weapon will continue moving for a short ******* without changing stance;Updated the K/D display in character stats. It now counts player kills only.Balancing changes With this update, we introduce the second stage of weapon mod adjustments, focusing on barrels and handguards. Muzzle devices and stocks were further adjusted based on the first iteration. Barrels follow the same principle as before. Longer barrels provide greater recoil reduction but impose higher ergonomics penalties. Changes were made to: Standardize parameters and make them clearer.Make the choice between short and long barrels more meaningful. Handguards no longer reduce recoil. Their role is now to offset ergonomics penalties imposed by barrels. Muzzle devices were further refined following the first iteration. Suppressors and their combinations with compensators now reduce ergonomics more and affect recoil less.These changes are intended to further increase the popularity of unsuppressed weapon builds. Adjustments to muzzle flash are planned for future updates. Buttstocks received minor adjustments, mainly addressing inaccuracies and issues from the first iteration. Base characteristics of many weapons have been updated to better align with the new balance. Recoil and ergonomics have been improved for the following: All AK, AKM, and AK-100 series weapons;Steyr AUG A1;Steyr AUG A3;HK G36;HK 416A5;FN SCAR-L;FN SCAR-H;SIG MCX-SPEAR;SIG MCX .300;CMMG Mk47 Mutant;Rifle Dynamics RD-704;Aklys Defense Velociraptor;All machine guns;All bolt-action and marksman rifles chambered in 7.62x51, 7.62x54R, .338, and .50 BMG.FixesFixed an issue where dead players and bots could appear to move visually in certain cases;Fixed an issue where damage would not register after a weapon malfunction if the player had previously used a stationary weapon;Fixed the cause of error 228 during trader dialogues that could block task progression;Fixes to culling, shadows, textures, and location geometry;Fixed an issue where armor could not be picked up if it was dropped while interacting with the modification window;Fixed the incorrect behavior of PMC bots toward player Scavs with Fence reputation 6 or higher in PvE Zone;Fixed an issue preventing further progression in The Labyrinth after spawning in the room requiring a burner tool to exit;Fixed the incorrect display of smoke grenades in the player’s hands if another player threw a smoke grenade at them;Fixed the display of changes in the “Combat Skill Leveling Boost” field in the Hall of Fame Hideout zone when one dogtag was replaced with another of a similar level;Fixed an issue where PostFX settings would not display when preview was enabled;Fixed an issue where some players could get stuck in the secret saferoom on Interchange without a way to exit;Fixed the incorrect display of stationary weapons used by bots and multiple cases where bots could float while using them;Fixed multiple issues with incorrect behavior of loot and gear items when dropped in raid;Fixed the display of current movement noise level and stance height during raids;Fixed the third-person animation for inspecting your own inventory.

Capcom has announced that Pragmata has sold more than 1 million copies in its first two days on *****. The sci-fi action adventure game was released on Friday and passed a million sales over the weekend, according to Capcom. In a statement to press, Capcom noted that because Pragmata is a new IP it had to build early interest in the game in a number of ways to ensure it would sell well from the start, including the release of a demo long before the full release, and a Switch 2 port on day one rather than later in the game’s life.

A recent beta change for Version 6.6 may have confirmed Stellar Reactions as the next Genshin Impact gameplay mechanic, likely making a debut in Version 6.7 before getting a full launch in Snezhnaya. Ever since Version 4.0, Genshin Impact has attempted to give each region a gimmick that goes beyond the fundamentals of Elemental Combat. For Fontaine, it was Arkhe; for Natlan, it was Nightsoul; and for Nod-Krai, it was its Lunar Reactions. Whereas Arkhe only played a small part in defining the meta of a region, by Version 6.5, Lunar Reactions have firmly entrenched themselves as the best way to tackle Genshin Impact's endgame.

Battlefield 6 players think they’ve discovered that one of the three maps coming in Season 5 is set in Las Vegas after Battlefield Studios posted an enigmatic teaser last week. The team at EA outlined its plans to keep players coming back throughout 2026 last week after it pulled back the curtain to reveal a host of changes aimed at directly addressing fan feedback. While much larger multiplayer maps and a server browser are just the tip of the iceberg of what was officially revealed, some players have already set their sights on a single image that teased one of the maps launching toward the end of the year. "Today, I can also confirm that, as a holiday surprise, we’ll be dropping a third map into Season 5," Motive Studio executive producer Philippe Ducharme said in a video for the April 16 reveal while showing the first-look. "You’ll have to wait to learn about them, but I will say that the roadmap does offer a hint of where you’ll be fighting." The image shows what appears to be an asphalt road with a colorful puddle surrounded by loose bullets. Knee-jerk reaction in the community believed that the rainbow effect might be caused by a mixture of gasoline, but others have pointed out the shape in the middle of the water matches up with the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s hard to make out on its own, but side by side, it’s easy to see why players have come to this conclusion. The long shape of the sign mostly lines up with the shape in the puddle, and the yellow-and-white lights seem to match, too. Others have pointed out that Las Vegas isn’t exactly known for being a rainy city, but there’s always the possibility the liquid we’re seeing could have come from another source. One player who says they live in the casino town pointed out that the orange beams on the left side of the screen may actually be a reflection of the Mandalay Bay resort and casino. The same poster notes that the right side of the image could be showing a reflection of the green neon of the MGM Grand. The map at the end is almost certainly in Las Vegas byu/KilllllerWhale inBattlefield .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } 100% las vegas byu/-ElectricKoolAid inBattlefield .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } BF Studios gave players very little to chew on, but many have settled on the idea that Las Vegas will serve as the location of one of the upcoming Season 5 maps for Battlefield 6. Others aren’t so convinced, with other popular theories revolving around a return for the Siege of Shanghai and Dawnbreaker maps from Battlefield 4, or even a new map set in New York City. With Season 3 set to add Railway to Golmud and Cairo Bazaar in May and Season 4 set to follow with Wake Island and Tsuru Reef in July, it will likely be some time before we see what Season 5 has in store for the fall. Although the late 2026 content update will break tradition by adding three maps when it launches for Battlefield 6, BF Studios warned that players shouldn’t expect three maps per season going forward. "We still plan to stay with the current strategy we have, which is adapting our season and our seasonal structure to meet the experiences that we want our players to play," Ripple Effect executive producer Ryan McArthur said during a Q&A session that IGN attended last week. Battlefield 6 launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S October 10, 2025.
