2025 is shaping up to be a great year for the Little Nightmares franchise. Not only is this unique horror adventure series returning for a third game thanks to developer Supermassive Games, it's also getting a comic book spinoff. IGN can exclusively reveal the first details about Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere, a collaboration between Titan Comics and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe. First, check out the cover art for the first issue below: Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere is written by Lonnie Nadler (Cable) and illustrated by Dennis Menheere (Etheres), with Damien Worm providing the cover art to issue #1. Nadler is no stranger to the Little Nightmares franchise, as he also serves as the showrunner and lead writer on the scripted podcast series The Sound of Nightmares. Descent to Nowhere tells a new story set in this horror universe, offering a mystery that spans both the nightmarish realm known as the Nowhere and the Counties. The series will span four issues in total. “It’s been an incredible journey to distill Little Nightmares into the comic medium; Lonnie and Dennis have packed each panel with depth and deeper meaning, for a twisting mystery that’ll leave you haunted and yearning for the next issue.” said editor Phoebe Hedges in a statement. Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere will be released in 2025. Fans can get an early glimpse of the new series at New York Comic-**** later this month, where Bandai Namco will be handing out preview comics at booth #2319. Little Nightmares III was among the games featured at gamescom 2024, and it won several awards at the show, including Best Visuals, Best Audio, and Best Xbox game.

Several new Natlan map areas from Genshin Impact 5.2 have leaked, revealing what players can expect in terms of the expansion of the Nation of Pyro during the next major patch for the action RPG.

Still, it seems like the sixth Nation of Teyvat will continue to receive content, even if story details will shift away to other regions. For example, there are Genshin Impact 5.2 leaks about a Dragonspine event, which would take players back to Mondstadt. View the full article

Unless you're a long-time Star Citizen player, you can be forgiven for finding the space MMO a little confusing. Vast, complex, and with its own digital economy and politics, Star Citizen needs to offer more players an easier way in. This is the job of Squadron 42. Fronted by a cadre of A-list acting talent, including Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, and Gillian Anderson, the long-awaited Star Citizen campaign mode will be a contained single-player experience that serves also as a foothold on the rest of the game proper. Cloud Imperium previously confirmed it was feature complete. Now, with Citizencon around the corner, the developer shares some more insight into how Squadron 42 is shaping up.

Image: Atlus Atlus’ Persona franchise is largely a console series, but it has a strong handheld heritage. There were excellent portable versions of Persona 3 and Persona 4, and Persona 5 Royal on Nintendo Switch was great, too. Metaphor: ReFantazio is a new fantasy JRPG from the team behind those beloved Personas. And while the game takes place in a different universe, many of the core elements are present in Metaphor — which means that it’s just as great of a handheld experience. I might be understating it to say Metaphor is Persona-like. The game’s UI is exceptionally flashy. You’ll spend a lot of time talking with your allies and improving your bonds with them.

Paradox Interactive delayed jail management simulator Prison Architect 2 indefinitely this August, commenting at the time that the game had notable performance issues, and that its system-led design was proving tricky to tinker with. This came a couple of months after the Crusader Kings publisher washed their hands of the sequel's original developers, Double Eleven. Speaking to me at Paradox's Media Day last week, deputy chief executive officer Mattias Lilja offered a shade more insight on the decision, suggesting that hard-up players have "higher expectations" at present and are less trusting that developers will fix problems. Chief creative officer Henrik Fåhraeus also offered thoughts on what Paradox have learned from the disastrous launch of Cities: Skylines 2 in late 2023. Specifically, he said they need to give actual players access to the game early on, not just testers. Read more View the full article
FIFA is making some major changes to its esports scene as the company confirms that it's no longer working with EA on its annual esports tournament. For many years FIFA dominated the video game space thanks to its licensing deal with EA which helped keep competitors like Konami out of the spotlight. Konami long tried to topple FIFA's reign with its own Pro Evolution Soccer series before ultimately pivoting to focus on the free-to-play market with eFootball, a move that's seemingly paying dividends thanks to a new contract.

EA Sports has issued FC 25's first live tuning update, which patches out an exploit that was ruining competitive play. Live tuning lets EA Sports roll out some changes without requiring a full title update. The developer said it can make tuning changes “faster and with more frequency while working on the balance of the game.” Live Tuning Update #1 reduces ball trajectory height for lobbed passes and crosses in Rush matches (Ultimate Team’s eye-catching new mode for FC 25), and reduces the accuracy of first-time lobbed through passes and lobbed through passes taken at severe angles across all gameplay. But it’s the end of the game-breaking speed boost exploit that will be of most interest to core FC 25 fans. This speed boost glitch saw players accelerate unintentionally quickly using a simple combination of input commands, which in turn caused chaos especially in Ultimate Team’s ranked PvP mode, Division Rivals, and the ultra ********* FUT Champs mode. All that was required was a press and hold of L1 on PlayStation or LB on Xbox then a tap of the Sprint button, which would see your players explode beyond bemused defenders and into space. Hopefully with this live tuning update the exploit will be gone for good. The live tuning update follows the release of FC 25 Title Update 2, which made a relatively small number of changes to the game just a week after launch. But EA Sports clearly has plenty more work to do getting FC 25 up to scratch, with unresponsive menus and gameplay as well as overpowered defending and dodgy passing among the many community complaints. Wondering what's changed in FC 25? Here's a list of everything new - we've also got the Best EA FC 25 Tactics Codes to help you prepare your game plan, plus a breakdown of every Skill Move in FC 25 and how to perform them. EA Sports FC 25 Live Tuning Update #1 Patch Notes: Made the following changes: Reduced ball trajectory height for Lobbed Passes and Crosses performed in Rush matches.Reduced accuracy of first time Lobbed Through Passes and Lobbed Through Passes taken at severe angles. Addressed the following issue: [PS5/PC/XBSX|S Only] Reduced instances of players accelerating unintentionally quickly when a Sprint is requested. In order to ensure this update has been applied, shut down and relaunch EA Sports FC 25 when you see this message in game. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero developers Bandai Namco Games and Spike Chunsoft are seemingly planning some downloadable content for the fan-favorite fighting game not already announced. As reported by ComicBook, the Steam backend has been updated to reference a new DLC called the Martial Arts Pack. This is listed on SteamDB alongside already announced extra content including the Season Pass and Ultimate Edition bonuses, the Anime Music Packs 1 and 2, and the upgrade and preorder packs. No details on what's included in the pack were revealed on the SteamDB page but Reddit user Zeucleio discovered its contents through a companion book released for the game in Japan today, October 10. According to their post, the book contained a bonus code which unlocks the Martial Arts Pack in-game, despite no official word from Bandai Namco Games or Spike Chunsoft. The contents of the pack were therefore revealed, and it includes early unlocks of Bardock, Future Gohan, Future Gohan SSJ, and Bardock's Z costume, alongside the Super Sparking ability item. As mentioned, neither developer nor publisher Bandai Namco has commented on this DLC officially or if it will be made available beyond this companion book. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero launched October 8 for anyone who preordered (and otherwise launches October 11) and is proving a hit with Dragon Ball fans, with many appreciating its evident love for the series through features like Encyclopaedia Mode. One ****** is proving particularly tough, however, as Great Ape Vegeta has the coveted combination of random, unrelenting, and rapid attacks that all do big damage. Players are pulling their hair out at its difficulty and placement relatively early on in the game's campaign, though Bandai Namco has assured it's okay to lower the difficulty and move on.
