What would the tabletop RPG hobby be like today if D&D had never existed? It's almost impossible to imagine it. I'm sure TTRPGs would have evolved to popularity with some other game as the catalyst, but I'll leave hypothetical histories to the actual historians. I did recently have cause to wonder, though: is my entire perspective on roleplaying skewed by having started with Dungeons & Dragons? If that's true of me, it's true for many millions of others, and begs the question: what would things be like if D&D wasn't almost everybody's first step into roleplaying?

Since Sony announced that it was planning to stop producing physical PlayStation discs in 2028, many people have been justifiably worried about how they will maintain ownership and long-term game access in a disc-free world. But halting production of PlayStation discs also means eliminating the market for cheap used PlayStation discs, which are often available for well below the price of a digital download. How much is this disc-based discount worth? To find out, Ars analyzed how the prices of 19 current top-selling PlayStation games varied between digital downloads and physical discs (both new and used). We found that, while used discs are the cheapest option for most games for most of the year, the frequent and periodic deep discounts offered on the PlayStation Store often undercut the cheapest game disc options. That state of affairs will likely persist even in a future without PlayStation discs. Our prices are so low, you'll think we've suffered brain damage For our analysis, we started with Sony's list of the bestsellers on the PlayStation Store. We eliminated any games that weren't available on a physical disc, then used [Hidden Content] to determine both the "Standard" price and the lowest "Discount" price offered for those games on the PlayStation Store in the last year (as well as the total number of days the discount price was offered).

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse producer Tsutomu Taniguchi explains that he proposed the development of a new game in the series after reading comments from Metroidvania fans who'd never played a Castlevania game. Castlevania may be the one half of the genre name, but according to Taniguchi, many self-professed Metroidvania fans admit they've never played any games from the franchise. In an interview with Famitsu, he speaks about how development of Castlevania: Belmont's Curse began from this revelation. As translated by GamesRadar+, Taniguchi says, "I was a fan of Castlevania long before I started on this project. Since joining Konami, I kept seeing people on social media and in fandoms saying that they love Metroidvanias but they've never played a Castlevania game. They might have seen the anime, but they'd never played the games." Taniguchi realized that while Castlevania has good brand recognition, it doesn't mean that everyone has had the chance to play the games. "I started to think about what I could do about this as both a Konami employee and a fan," Taniguchi says. "So we began by porting old games to collections to create a way for people to play previous works." Castlevania has received three larger game collections: 2019's Castlevania Anniversary Collection, 2021's Castlevania Advance Collection, and most recently 2024's Castlevania Dominus Collection. Despite the wide range of series games distributed across these collections, the series' most popular entry, Symphony of the Night, hasn't been part of a collection since the PSP's Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. "We also wanted to build more ways for new players to experience Castlevania, like the [Dead Cells] DLC I mentioned previously," Taniguchi continues. "Of course, I also wanted to see something new, so I proposed Castlevania: Belmont's Curse." Fans have waited 12 years for a new Castlevania game, but Belmont's Curse is an even greater gift for swine like me who have never played the series [/url]View the full article

Drop Fake, a new studio led by developers who created Smash HQ, unveiled DCKO. This new mobile fighting game features a clash of iconic DC characters in 2-on-2 tag team battles across a variety of game modes such as PvE missions and, for the first time in a DC mobile fighter, real-time PvP multiplayer matches. Officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of DC, DCKO features “pick up and play” arcade-style fighting gameplay that gets players into the action quickly while rewarding mastery and smart team composition, allowing advanced players to excel. Players assemble duos of DC Super Heroes and DC Super-Villains to chain devastating combos and perform tactical assists to defeat strong opponents. Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Constantine, Superman and more Legends join the roster, all playable in both single-player and PvP live multiplayer modes. Image credit: Drop Fake Multiplayer in DCKO is a true, live PvP experience; a first for DC mobile fighting games. Players can challenge each other globally to climb leaderboards with their team of Legends and unlock new abilities, stat boosts, and more as they grow their characters and customize their teams to fit their playstyle. For example, players can choose to utilize heavy hitters like Superman to overpower opponents with combos that mix ground-based and aerial attacks, or prioritize DPS to chip away at foes using DC Super Heroes like Nightwing. “It was important to us that DCKO represented a significant leap forward for the fighting game genre on mobile,” said Gene Campbell, creative director at Drop Fake, in a press release. “Live multiplayer games between players are core to the spirit of fighting games, and we are proud of the work we’ve done to bring this feature to mobile comic book fighters for the first time. We want to nurture a healthy, competitive scene for this game and will share more on that in the future. Our team is very experienced in delivering games that comic book fans adore, and we can’t wait to hear everyone’s feedback on DCKO when we launch next year.” Beyond competitive gameplay, DCKO offers a robust single-player PvE mode with an overarching storyline that lets players upgrade their roster and unlock new content. In Stories, players test their mettle against powerful foes like Ra’s al Ghul’s League of Assassins, Amazo’s robot army and the ****** hordes of Trigon to upgrade their characters. Currency and XP can be gained in these PvE modes to prepare Legends to take on the world in PvP. New costumes can also be unlocked that call back to the beloved history of the DC Universe. DCKO brings the pages of DC comic books to life through “Neo-Comic” art style ripped from the pages themselves, with bold inks, energetic palettes and dynamic super move animations. Well-known locales set the stage for battle as players duke it out in Themiscyra, the Batcave, Lazarus Pits and other notable arenas. Along the way, players can earn and purchase multiple costume variants of fan-favorite DC Super Heroes and DC Super-Villains as they progress through the game. DCKO is coming to iOS and Android devices in 2027. Players can visit the official DCKO website to pre-register now and secure access for the game’s upcoming beta.

As some fans are filled with dread following Bethesda's confirmation that both The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 are being developed using the shiny new Creation Engine 3, words from New Vegas lead Josh Sawyer from six years ago might provide some reassurance. Since Bethesda's flurry of news last week about its upcoming projects, there have been many concerns raised about the studio using Creation Engine 3 – an updated version of its proprietary engine – for the two biggest RPGs on its slate. Fans worry about bugs and the devs potentially prioritizing modders over the games themselves, but according to Sawyer in 2020 that's now doing the online rounds, it's actually a very easy engine to work with. During an old stream of Fallout: New Vegas (below), Sawyer was asked if he had "a hard time" developing New Vegas thanks to Fallout 3's "buggy engine," to which he was quick to respond: "No, not at all." He continued: "I will criticize other stuff in Fallout 3 and 4, [but] this engine is incredibly easy to make content for. Look into my eyes – without GECK [New Vegas' official editor and modding tool] and without the pipeline of this engine, we never would have finished this game in 18 months." [Hidden Content] Sawyer reiterated that "this is the best content creation pipeline of any game that I've ever worked on, easily," but that doesn't mean it's without its issues. "It's buggy, you're right, it's very buggy. It's buggy and unstable and it's frustrating, but it's incredibly easy to make content for. Like, no one's gonna sit here and say, like, 'No it's not that buggy.' Like, yeah, it's pretty buggy, but it's fine. Like, that's a trade-off." He went on to talk about the GECK tool, too, calling it "fast" and saying that "searching is super easy, finding references to things is super easy, scripting is very powerful," and that "iteration loops are super fast." All that made it "awesome." In fact, Sawyer said that "the only shortcoming of the tools was the dialogue tool." He explained: "We built our own dialogue tool to sit on top of that, and that was fine. Like, it took a little bit of investment for us, but that was it." Looking back about what Sawyer had to say about the ease of Creation Engine and how quickly things could be made with it, I can't help but wonder if that might be on Bethesda's mind today. After all, last month, it was reported that Xbox is apparently pushing for faster development on The Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises – something which might prove even more difficult now that a number of Bethesda staff have been laid off. Needless to say, if a familiar-feeling, easy-to-use engine can help facilitate the demand for more games, it's little wonder that that's the one that's been chosen. 16 years after Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian is returning to the post-apocalyptic RPG series and Todd Howard "could not be more excited."

Destiny 2 players can now easily farm one of the most annoying Dungeon bosses in the game completely solo and AFK. Destiny 2's sudden and unceremonious death was announced on May 21, stating that the game would get one final update on June 9, called Monument of Triumph, and stop all development thereafter. Developers at Bungie tried their best to deliver a good experience for new and veteran players alike, dramatically improving all aspects of the game, while giving fans ample room to make all the builds they wanted.

What constitutes worthwhile evolution in RPG design is a contentious subject. For every player who prefers the action-oriented route of modern Final Fantasy games, you've got those who want a return to the turn-based days of yore. The same is true for Diablo and action-RPG fans, as Path of Exile co-creator Chris Wilson explains how more modern, intuitive character progression is less fun to genre diehards. Wilson went through the logic in a new YouTube video. He says the key problem for ARPG players stems from what are known as breakpoints – the benchmarks for when a particular action stat actually changes or improves. For instance, you don't automatically get quicker in spellcasting each time you move up a level. Instead, your ability goes up by increments after you reach a certain number of levels. "There are arbitrary sweet spots of attack speed, cast speed, and hit recovery that players want to reach, because the jump in animation speed happens all at once," Wilson explains. [Hidden Content] As a response, Diablo 2 "players created tables of speed breakpoints and optimize their characters around these thresholds," Wilson says. "Many of them had a lot of fun doing so, and it was an important part of the game for them." The Diablo audience is such that I don't think there's any struggle in imagining players putting together spreadsheets of information on how each build can best level up. I've not done it for this series, but I've definitely been known to open up Excel or get out a pen and paper for a Dark Souls game over the years. In my experience, Wilson is correct: it's fun. Strategizing your build brings a more tangible element to what you're doing and lets you test just how far the developers went with their balancing. Where Wilson's perspective also holds water is in the fact that other action-RPGs fail to capture the Diablo 2 playerbase. They have less of these breakpoints, thus disappointing people who live for a good graph. If you want old school players, you've got to play by old school rules. It's that simple. 25 years later, Diablo 2 director still hasn't gotten over how much the stamina bar sucks: "It's like a newbie tax almost." [/url]View the full article

An unofficial Castlevania: Symphony of the Night PC port has finally emerged from its crypt, but it's based on the Xbox 360 edition of the game rather than the original. Recompilation efforts have made a big wave in the industry over the last few years, and so far – a few outliers like Sonic Unleashed and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 notwithstanding – have mostly focused on the fifth generation of consoles, with most of the all-time N64 classics having brilliant PC versions available right now. Super Mario 64 was the first time I'd heard of it happening, but impressive ports for Banjo Kazooie, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask have been big hits among fans. When it comes to iconic games from the fifth generation, there's far too many to mention, but one of them is undoubtedly Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – the reason that genre is called Metroidvania and not just Metroid-like. [Hidden Content] And would you look at that, the newest game to join the long line of recompiled PC ports is Symphony of the Night. NocturneRecomp was released by birabittoh (thanks Time Extension) earlier this month, and ends an almost 30 year wait for a PC port. However, it's not the PS1 original, the Saturn version that featured exclusive content, or the PSP release with a new translation that was later adapted for its PS4 port. Instead it's the Xbox 360 edition from 2007, which is the version I first played the game on and still has the iconic intro voice acting, so not a bad version at all, but a hindered one. It lacks the CG cutscenes and ending theme from Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater singer Cynthia Harrell. Of course, you'll need to have dumped your own copy of the Xbox 360 version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to use it, but considering that version is still readily available on the Xbox Store (and backwards compatible) that shouldn't prove too difficult. With that said, you could just play it on one of those consoles if you have it, but thanks to the power of modders, the prospect of restored Saturn content potentially coming to the PC port is certainly exciting, alongside those CG cutscenes. Fans have waited 12 years for a new Castlevania game, but Belmont's Curse is an even greater gift for swine like me who have never played the series. [/url]View the full article

Footage from the intro of the canceled Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link game has surfaced online.

However, the game's intro cinematic has now leaked, giving fans a chance to see how the game's story might have unfolded, and it's truly something bizarre, even for Kingdom Hearts.

I didn't realize I'd stopped playing new releases until my wife pointed it out one day. "You've been playing a lot of super old games lately," she remarked to me, and I didn't think much of it at first. But her words echoed long enough to make me stop and ponder exactly why I'd been snubbing new games in favor of old. I've come to the conclusion that I'm using them as a security blanket of sorts. Writing about video games for a living in 2026 means generative AI and mass layoffs consume up to 100% of my headspace on any given working day. Whether it's another big company like Xbox announcing hundreds of redundancies or a C-suite executive extolling the dubious virtues of artificial intelligence, I log on for work each morning fully expecting to learn about something terrible to research and communicate to you, dear reader. Don't get me wrong, the gravity of a story about corporate restructuring is usually offset by something fun, like a Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Balatro crossover. But as upsetting stories continue to take up a greater share of my workload with every passing week, it's no wonder that I'm escaping the horrors of gaming's present by losing myself in its past. Take the pain away (Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment) Round table (Image credit: Annapurna Interactive) "It creates lesser games": 25 indie devs speak out against genAI in video games My recent retro gaming phase came about organically. I hurt my back the other week and spent several days faced with a very physical dilemma. I could stay lying down, or exist in a state of perpetual agony. There's not much you can do in that situation besides watch TV and play video games, and I found myself doing a lot of both. But what surprised me was my instinct to exclusively play very old games. As in, games that launched at least 15 years ago. In a mild state of sedation from over-the-counter painkillers, I reached for what was most comfortable: games from my childhood, like Pokemon Leaf Green, Diablo 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It feels markedly different from the casual, inconsistent relationship I've had with the best retro games up until recently, fueled by an impulse to comb through my Switch Online subscription a few times a year and play something from the N64 collection. I'm sure many people resort to the same thing out of convenience, boredom, or lazy curiosity. But my current fixation on retro games is borne from something much more intentional, decided by whatever subconscious part of my brain is in charge of protecting my inner peace. (Image credit: Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, Game Freak) I can't be the only one whose sense of inner peace feels constantly threatened by games news headlines. The industry has always had its ups and downs, but 2026 is proving a uniquely challenging year. Universally-acclaimed releases like Crimson Desert are weighed down by varying degrees of controversy. Marathon, Bungie's genuinely great new extraction shooter, has been saddled with responsibility for the death of Destiny 2. I had a lot of fun playing Highguard for the 90 minutes it existed before being permanently shut down, and then I just felt bad for the dozens of developers who worked on it that were suddenly out of a job. I was excited about Subnautica 2 for years, but after extensively covering the legal drama between the original developers and publisher Krafton, it became harder and harder to immerse myself in its world. Old games let me detach from that misery. When I'm playing Dragon Quest 8, I'm not worried about whether that Dancing ****** or Fencing fox was conceptualized using AI-generated art. My friends and I can go a few rounds in Halo 2 without worrying about the livelihoods of everyone who made the game. I can save the world as Tidus in Final Fantasy 10 and not even once think about phrases like shareholder value or operating margins. What's even better is finding old games I'd never played or revisiting those I bounced off years ago, which I'm ashamed to admit was the case with Skyward Sword – a game I now regret ever saying anything bad about when I was young and stupid. A link to the past (Image credit: Nintendo) Playing older games in 2026 has had the ironic effect of sparking optimism for the future A lot of what bums me out about today's games also existed 10, 20, even 30 years ago (EA has been shutting down beloved studios long before Microsoft) but it wasn't at the forefront of the zeitgeist like today. Circumstances appear so exacerbated right now because seemingly very little has been done to address the industry's fundamental issues. There are fewer and fewer places for laid-off developers to safely land. Startup studios consistently struggle to establish a footing due to the increasing scale of development. Meanwhile, billion-dollar companies appear slow to learn from their mistakes, buying companies and IP only to cut staff and shutter studios when sales don't measure up to investor expectations. The games industry feels less sustainable than ever. I don't know how we're going to fix it, but playing older games in 2026 has had the ironic effect of sparking optimism for the future that I haven't felt in a while by reminding me how far we've come. (Image credit: SIE) Real progress has been made for better representation in games. Investigations into workplace toxicity have resulted in high-profile departures and institutional changes. Workers are successfully unionizing at an encouraging scale, and the impact of crunch culture has been put under a spotlight like never before. We've a long way to go in each one of those aspects, but I'm choosing to believe the same collective drive for a better industry will fuel worthwhile movement in areas causing so much strife today. In the meantime, I'll dutifully continue keeping y'all informed of the latest atrocities in the hopes that one day I'll find myself writing more about BOGO indie RPGs and less about people losing their jobs. But in my free time, you'll find me curled up under a warm, fuzzy mountain of retro games, whisked away to a simpler time.

GameSir has issued an update to its Connect software, which removes a big point of friction for people who regularly use the app to customize their PC controllers, but the update could also be really helpful if you've never been up to speed on your controller terminology. The GameSir Connect app is what you'll use to personalize the GameSir G7 Pro 8K PC model as well as a few of the other more recent GameSir products. Until now, we've been forced to uninstall each obsolete version of the application when a new one arrives, before finding the latest one on the Windows Store. As of now, those days are officially done. Now on version 1.14.4, the application will update the version you already have instead of forcing you to find an entirely new app. [Hidden Content] This will definitely go some way to cutting out confusion, especially since, depending on what GameSir controller you have, there are different apps you need to use. The original GameSir G7 Pro for Xbox and PC uses the older GameSir Nexus app, for example. Either way, if you have a compatible controller, the latest version of Connect will allow for less foot-dragging in the Windows Store and more streamlined customization. I'd guess that most pro controller owners probably use their gamepad's controller software a total of once, on average. Beyond the initial setup when you unbox it, though, companion software can offer you loads of versatility and value for money for whichever gamepad you've opted for. GameSir's apps have always been great, but a streamlined updating system isn't the only improvement the brand has made to Connect. (Image credit: Future / Duncan Robertson) Perhaps most helpfully, a new information feature has been added that'll explain what some of the settings actually change. So if you've never been sure of your jargon controller terms, all you'll now have to do is hover a cursor over an information symbol next to each section header to get a brief description. So if you have trouble distinguishing between deadzones, polling rates, hair trigger mode, or more, you can now rest easy knowing that using an in-depth customization app like Connect isn't going to take you out of your depth. I'm sure for some, not knowing these terms is a reason they've avoided using companion apps to begin with. (Image credit: GameSir) With the latest firmware update for the G7 Pro 8K PC, you can also receive a latency improvement, which GameSir says will be narrowed down to less than 250 milliseconds. Furthermore, if you want a more granular way to modify the settings on your thumbstick deadzone curves, the new version of Connect will allow you to input coordinates of 100x100. Beyond the aforementioned GameSir controllers, the Connect app is also going to be the settings home for the GameSir Tarantula Pro, Cyclone 2, Super Nova, Tegenaria Lite, and Nova 2 Lite. Older controllers may still use the GameSir Nexus app. In the summary video about the software update on GameSir's YouTube channel, the upcoming GameSir Tarantula Pro 8K PC was also mentioned, which likely points to this controller using Connect when it hits the shelves. GameSir also makes some of the other best Xbox controllers, best Switch 2 controllers, and best mobile controllers. [/url]View the full article

Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity boss Swen Vincke says he doesn't expect any of the staff at Larian's Barcelona studio to show up for work following Spain's win at the 2026 World Cup final. While it wasn't exactly a great match by any means, the final of the FIFA World Cup 2026 took place last night and saw Spain win its second title after going 1-0 against defending champions Argentina. It felt like – as far as social media was concerned – everyone was in Spain's corner, and after an at times agonizing 120 minutes, Spanish fans in the stadium and especially back home got to celebrate the country's win for the first time since the 2010 World Cup. Given that the final was on a Sunday, it does make the afterparty a bit more of a risk, as many in Spain are likely in the office hungover as we speak. But thankfully for those working at Larian's Barcelona studio, the Divinity developers are getting a bit of time to celebrate. The best team in the World Cup won the World Cup. Not expecting anyone in the Barcelona studio to show up for work tomorrow. Congratulations!!!July 19, 2026 Over on Twitter, Vincke posted reacting to the final game, saying "The best team in the World Cup won the World Cup," and that he's "Not expecting anyone in the Barcelona studio to show up for work tomorrow. Congratulations!" In fact, that's not the first time Vincke has given props to the Spanish team, as Vincke's home country Belgium was knocked out by Spain on July 11. He posted, "Thank you for all the good emotions you gave us Red Devils! And congrats to the Spanish team. Larian Barcelona studio [is] going to be partying." Now I'm a bit of a fair-weather fan; I'll watch any tournament Scotland makes it into (so as you can tell, I'm not watching often). But now I'm just curious if I could've taken a day off for a more important sporting moment… like when John Cena won his record-breaking 17th WWE World Title last year… Larian offers free Baldur's Gate 3 copy to My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way after he tells a stadium of fans he hasn't played it despite loving classic RPGs [/url]View the full article
