When it launched in October, ARC Raiders became an instant hit. It proved that extraction shooters can be viable live-service behemoths catering to more casual rather than purely hardcore audiences. Ever since then, it has grown month after month, hitting new player-count peaks time and again, which you don't see often these days. But 2026 hasn't been so kind to the game. Since its latest peak in January, ARC Raiders' average player count is five times lower than its 481,966 high. This is natural to a degree: players get tired of any given game and recirculate when a new update or significant patch comes out. There are only so many new players that you can draw into a niche genre, and I have a feeling ARC Raiders was played by just about every dedicated extraction shooter fan out there. ARC Raiders players are hopping off in anticipation of ******* content drops. Image via Embark Even the release of the Shrouded Sky update didn't do much to recover ARC Raiders' dwindling player base, boosting it up to ~250,000 peak players, which was still some 40,000 lower than the days leading up to the patch. There hasn't been any major or groundbreaking update to ARC Raiders during 2026, really, and that seems to have driven players away from the title, on top of the natural player shed cycle I'd mentioned above. For so long, ARC Raiders has maintained such a strong image and presence that many started believing it could not fail. It was compared to other, less successful games like Marathon, which lost their players a lot more quickly and more dramatically than ARC, which seemed to just clock in peak after peak and showed no signs of stopping. Now, as if suddenly, the game has effectively bled 80 percent of its community, and even if many of them intend to come back at some point, we cannot ignore those alarming numbers. Hunting robots is fun and all, but the extraction shooter formula quickly loses its grip. Image via ARC Raiders Wiki Even if it isn't the end of the world per se, it might be time to start reconsidering ARC Raiders' position on the market. It's not an unbeatable, eternal game that we all thought it was, and I don't think we'll ever get a title that repeats the imperishable natures of League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike, or World of Warcraft. No matter what happens, it seems those games just won't go away and even grow from time to time. ARC hasn't received good and substantial content for a while now, with developers taking their sweet time working on upcoming updates. For extraction shooters, that sort of MO borders on self-destruction, since players (myself included) love to get new stuff to do and work towards in the genre. The expeditions help, but let's not pretend they're enough to keep you engaged after you've wiped several times. Reaching a definitive conclusion on ARC Raiders won't be possible for the foreseeable future, but signs are surely telling us that yes, the game is on its way out—but Embark still has a lot of time and opportunities to reel it back in.

Call of Duty's live-action adaptation is coming out in theaters on June 30, 2028, as confirmed today at CinemaCon. Directed by Pete Berg and written by Taylor Sheridan of Sicario fame, the film is finally going to bring one of the biggest franchises to the silver screens. As per the Hollywood Reporter, Call of Duty's film adaptation is going to start screening in mid-2028, June 30 to be exact. This was confirmed at CoD's CinemaCon panel today, with Activision president Rob Kostich saying its partnership with Paramount led to the movie's production. "I told everyone we were only going to make a movie if it's right. In David Ellison (Paramount chief), we found that partnership," Kostich said. Let's hope the movie ditches all the weird stuff Activision's been putting out lately. Image via Activision Pete Berg and Taylor Sheridan, who is known for his incredible work in TV and films, especially action ones, are co-writing the script, while Berg is also directing. Sheridan wrote some of the best military action movies I've ever seen, including Sicario and its sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado. The first one is heralded as the better, but both movies have a very deep, human outlook on conflicts and darker sides of the world, which is no doubt going to help the Call of Duty movie become more than a mere action flick. Kostich also said that an authentic and human perspective will be at the core of the movie. "We want to make sure that the authenticity of it is captured on a human level so that it feels really real and infuse that with epic scope," he said. That ******* of 2028 isn't packed with a lot of films, allowing the Call of Duty adaptation to really grip the theatrical scene. However, the Hello Kitty movie is coming out a few weeks after CoD, which could turn into another case of Barbenheimer, or as we call it: Call of Kitty. It could be a fun month or so for moviegoers and casuals alike, mimicking the incredible theatrical experience we all had when Barbie and Oppenheimer were screened back to back. It's still a long way off, however, so there's a lot that could change in the meantime. But as thing stand, I have a feeling it'll be a fun time in cinemas, especially considering the contrast between Sheridan's grim writing and the sunshine and rainbow vibes of Hello Kitty.

Remember Fairgame$? No? It's really hard to fault you if you don't. Announced in 2023, the debut title from PlayStation's Haven Studios has not been heard from since. We're coming up on the three-year anniversary of its reveal now, and a new report has some info on what could be happening behind the scenes. [Hidden Content] Originally described as a "competitive heist experience," the new report from Insider Gaming claims that the title is still in the works and will be looking to capitalize on the popularity of the extraction shooter genre with a similar mode of its own. Citing official documents, the report claims that one of Fairgame$'s mode's descriptions reads as follows: Break In – Find a vault code to gain access to the safe. Collect cash, upgrade your skillset, and make your play.Drill – The vault is breached. Be the team to grab the cargo, or set up your strategy to intercept it.Extract – The Cargo must be brought to the Extraction Site. Use the Extraction device to call your ride home. If your team fails to extract cargo, use another exit to Getaway. The 2023 trailer showed some slick CGI visuals and teased the aforementioned heist gameplay, showing multiple teams of three fighting over a vault and the loot within. Adding in some extraction-style mechanics makes it seem like the game is still somehow trying to find its niche, even if that means borrowing from other genres. It's anyone's guess on what will happen with Fairgame$ in the future, but given Sony's mishandling of several studios and titles in development this generation, it's hard to fault people for wondering if this game is ever going to come out. Trying to potentially shoehorn in mechanics from games like Escape From Tarkov or Marathon to try and bring in players may or may not make an overall impact in the end. Fairgame$ will reportedly be free-to-play, and it was announced for both PS5 and PC, but it still faces an uphill battle when trying to get a foothold in the multiplayer market in 2026...or whenever it may release.

It's been seven long years now since Metro Exodus wowed us with its early RTX-powered ray tracing in a chilling post-apocalyptic setting. A lot has changed in the intervening years, both in the game industry and for many Ukraine-based developers working on the upcoming Metro 2039 at developer 4A Studios. "Everything we had planned for the next chapter of Metro changed in 2020 and more significantly in 2022," the developers said in a first look presentation of the game released today. "The war has shaped us, and we have changed the story to be even more about choices, actions, consequences, and what you have to pay to have a future." While 4A is officially based in Malta, the studio was founded in Kyiv in 2006. And while 4A says the team working on Metro 2039 spans across 25 countries, the majority of those working on the game are Ukrainian. Read full article Comments View the full article

Developer 4A Games showcased the sequel for the first time on Thursday, and in a pre-brief attended by VGC, it said that Russia’s ******** invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 “fundamentally changed,” not only life at the Ukraine-based studio, but also had a major impact on the game itself. While much of the team remains in Ukraine, the development team is now spread across 20 different nations.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has now hit a hugely impressive 12 million players, with publisher Focus Entertainment celebrating its success. “A couple years ago, we had great hopes for this project. Today, it has surpassed even our wildest dreams,” Focus said. It’s worth noting this is not an announcement of 12 million sales. While Space Marine 2 has sold wonderfully well, its player count was boosted by its recent addition into video game subscription services. All told, the Saber Interactive-developed third-person action game has blown away all expectations, with Space Marine 3 in active development even as Space Marine 2 updates continue. In a recent interview with IGN, Saber development chief Tim Willits denied the suggestion that the priority is now the development of Space Marine 3, promising more content to come. “No, we actually just released a big update and it's still going strong,” Willits said, referring to the Techmarine update. “Were we at number four on the top sales? So it's still doing great for us. And we just released a big update. And like World War Z, we're still making content for that, while the team obviously works on Space Marine 3.” Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Trench Crusade is the grimmest, darkest, nastiest wargame currently on the market, and it stems from the mind of one man. Mike Franchina is a well-established concept artist in the videogame industry, whose baroque, grimdark designs influenced the grimier elements of games including Diablo IV and Path of Exile 2. Trench Crusade started as his own personal imaginary universe, a place for ideas too grotesque even for his work.

If you’re a fan of seeing iconic fighting game franchises on the big screen, then 2026 is truly your year. Not only is Warner Bros. releasing the second film in its rebooted Mortal Kombat series, we’re also getting a brand new Street Fighter movie courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Legendary Entertainment. Hollywood has tried and failed to adapt this colorful franchise in the past, but will the third time be the charm? Well, it can’t be any worse than 2009’s Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. We’ve finally gotten our first good look at Street Fighter thanks to a new trailer released during CinemaCon 2026. And if there’s any one takeaway from this footage, it’s that Street Fighter looks like a whole lot of fun. It even opens with the countdown timer sound effects from the games. Could we be looking at the best fighting game movie since 1995’s Mortal Kombat? For now, let’s break down all the characters we meet in the trailer and how they fit together in this epic tale of guys and gals beating the snot out of each other. Noah Centineo’s Ken Masters Street Fighter may feature an ensemble cast of fighters pulled from all over the globe, but the trailer makes it pretty clear that this story will revolve heavily around Noah Centineo’s Ken Masters and Andrew Koji’s Ryu. We’re not surprised, as this Dynamic Duo tends to be the focus in most incarnations of the Street Fighter franchise. Ken and Ryu have been there from the beginning. They were the only playable characters in the original Street Fighter game from 1987, and they’ve been series mainstays ever since. In the games, Ken and Ryu are lifelong friends who both trained under the same master, Gouken. That’s why they wear different colored variations of the same martial arts uniform. But whereas Ryu is totally dedicated to perfecting his fighting craft, Ken is a bit more freewheeling and sociable. We’ll focus more on Ryu in a bit, but for now, let’s dig in with Ken. The trailer reveals that the game is set in 1993, which seems to be an intentional nod to the original era of Street Fighter mania in the early ‘90s. We can see from this footage that Ken has become a bit of a celebrity, even hosting his own show on MTV. But that fame seems to have come at a heavy price. Ken is clearly a washed-up has-been who’d rather get drunk and belt out karaoke than hone his skills as one of the world’s best fighters. If anything, we notice a lot of similarities between Centineo’s Ken and Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat II. Both are world-class fighters-turned-celebrities who are arguably past their prime, and both will have to prove they’ve still got it when they enter the fighting ring. Ken features in a couple of cool Street Fighter Easter eggs in the trailer. We see him performing several iconic fighting moves from the games, including an obligatory Shoryuken punch, a rolling back throw, a Jinrai Kick from 2023’s Street Fighter 6, and axe-kicking a character we assume is El Fuerte. In another shot, we see him kicking and punching a car, a nod to those infamous bonus levels where players try to destroy a car with their expert fighting moves. Andrew Koji’s Ryu Now let’s turn our attention to Ken’s BFF Ryu. The two characters are clearly having a bit of a relationship crisis in the movie. Even as Ken has molded himself into a drunken cable TV star, Ryu has seemingly retreated from the world and become a modern-day martial arts hermit. Ryu seems happy enough to be reunited with his old buddy, but not Ken. His first instinct when he sees Ryu is to bust out a flying kick. Ryu is the closest thing the Street Fighter franchise has to a main character. Again, he’s a top-tier fighter obsessed with perfecting his craft. But though he’s a good-natured warrior who’s always eager to meet new opponents and test his skills, Ryu also harbors a secret dark side. That may explain why he’s in hiding as the movie opens. Ryu may be afraid of unleashing the true power within. We get a taste of that power at the end of the trailer when we see Ryu summon one of his iconic fireballs and shout the word “Hadouken!!!” Street Fighter may be built around hand-to-hand combat, but many of the fighters have superhuman abilities they can bring to the battlefield. Callina Liang’s Chun-Li What would a Street Fighter movie be without the mighty Chun-Li joining Ryu and Ken? This time around, this deadly ******** fighter is played by Callina Liang. Chun-Li was introduced in 1991’s Street Fighter II and has appeared in most of the games since then. She’s portrayed as a skilled warrior and Interpol agent who seeks revenge against M. Bison for the ******* of her father. But, as we know from Raul Julia’s infamous rant in the original Street Fighter movie, he’s killed a great many fathers over the years. Here, Chun-Li appears to be the catalyst that brings Ryu, Ken, and other fighters together to partake in a high-stakes martial arts tournament. Why she’s seeking out these elite world warriors isn’t entirely clear, but it may all be part of a plot to bring down M. Bison. What we do know is that she seems rather unimpressed with both Ryu and Ken. One is hiding from the world, the other is “a sideshow,” and neither is living up to his true potential. Chun-Li aims to fix that. The trailer drops another amusing nod to the games when Chun-Li meets Mel Jarnson’s Cammy and the latter makes a comment about Chun-Li’s thighs. One of the hallmarks of Chun-Li’s character design from the games is her extremely muscular legs, and the movie is clearly having some fun with the fact that her reputation precedes her. We also see her put those legs to good use when she busts out a Hundred Lightning Legs move. David Dastmalchian’s M. Bison David Dastmalchian is playing M. Bison, the character we’re assuming is the main villain of the film. Bison is definitely one of the most important villains in the franchise, dating back to his role as the final boss of Street Fighter II. Bison is a tyrant with aims of world domination. He runs a criminal organization known as Shadaloo, one that manipulates world governments. He’s also the architect of the World Warrior tournament (hence why it’s a bit odd that his nemesis Chun-Li seems to be recruiting for said tournament). If the movie is anything like the games, we expect to see Bison try to recruit Ryu and possibly Ken to his cause. He sees the dark power residing within these warriors, a power that can rival his own “Psycho Power.” Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i’s Akuma Bison is probably the main villain of the new movie, but don’t count out Roman Reigns’ character, Akuma. Akuma is another major antagonist from the games with a deep connection to both Ryu and Ken. Akuma is the subject of much fascination for Street Fighter fans, in part because he was introduced as a secret playable character in 1994’s Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Akuma’s name literally means “******” or “******” in Japanese, and he lives up to that name. He’s the younger brother of Ryu and Ken’s master Gouken, and he seeks to harness a dark power known as Satsui no Hado. Lille Bison, he senses great and terrible potential in Ryu. We only briefly see Reigns’ character in the trailer, but he’s shown battling Ryu and tapping into his own dark energy to charge up his Empyrean's End super move. We expect that face-off to be one of the major set pieces of the film. But will Akuma be a major player in this conflict, or is this more a taste of things to come in a possible sequel? Cody Rhodes’ Guile Street Fighter features another familiar WWE face in the form of Cody Rhodes, who plays the overconfident military man Guile. Guile was the central character in the first Street Fighter movie, but based on the trailer it looks like he serves more of a supporting role this time around. Expect a lot of comic relief from this dude, and not just because of his ridiculous haircut. Guile is another series mainstay introduced in 1991’s Street Fighter II, and like Chun-Li, he has a major grudge against M. Bison for the death of his partner, Charlie. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson’s Balrog One of the more intriguing casting choices in this movie is 50 Cent, who’s been tapped to play elite boxer Balrog. If the costume and makeup don’t make it obvious, Balrog is heavily modeled after real-world boxer Mike Tyson. In the games, Balrog is a disgraced fighter who joins Bison’s Shadaloo organization. We see him battling Ken in the trailer, where it looks like he’ll be one of the first real challenges this washed-up martial artist faces on the road to victory. Jason Momoa’s Blanka Street Fighter gained some real star power with the casting of Jason Momoa as Blanka. Another iconic character introduced in 1991’s Street Fighter II, Blanka is also one of the most colorful and unusual characters in the games. As the story goes, he was once a guy named Jimmy who mutated after a plane ****** and became an oversized, green-skinned monster with the power to generate electricity. Eric André’s Don Sauvage Any global martial arts tournament worth its salt needs a good announcer, and that’s the role being filled by Eric André’s Don Sauvage. Sauvage is a flamboyant announcer and promoter inspired by pro wrestling personality Jimmy Hart. It appears he’ll be providing play-by-play commentary for at least some of the matches in the film. Orville *****’s Vega It seems only fitting that the Street Fighter character known for always wearing a mask would be played by an actor infamous for rarely showing his face in public. Orville ***** is playing Vega, a graceful but very deadly fighter who wields Wolverine-like claws. Vega is known as the “Spanish ninja,” as his fighting style combines elements of ninjitsu and bullfighting. Olivier Richters’ Zangief Street Fighter characters don’t get much ******* or more imposing than Zangief, who’s played here by Olivier Richters. In the games, Zangief is a professional wrestler from Russia who’s determined to prove his country’s superiority by piledriving all challengers into submission. We see several larger-than-life feats of strength from Richters’ character in the trailer, including an Ultimate Atomic Crusher Ultra Technique from 2008’s Street Fighter IV, which makes it plain that the movie is opting for a more cartoonish style of violence. Hirooki Goto’s E. Honda We don’t see much of him in the trailer, but Hirooki Goto has been cast as master sumo wrestler E. Honda. Honda is another long-running Street Fighter character who dates back to 1991’s Street Fighter II. Vidyut Jammwal’s Dhalsim Rounding out the cast of Street Fighter II legends is Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim. This yogi and mystic is one of the more unusual fighters in the games, as he can stretch his limbs in impossible ways. He’s also a hardcore pacifist who only participates in the tournament to raise money for his impoverished village. We see Dhalism at several points in the trailer, both fighting in the ring and being recruited by Chun-Li. Mel Jarnson’s Cammy Cammy is arguably the most popular Street Fighter character to debut after that initial batch of World Warriors, so we’re not at all surprised to see her in the movie. Cammy has proven very important to the mythology of the series, as she’s been revealed to be one of M. Bison’s former assassins who loses her memory and becomes an MI:6 agent. We don’t know how much the movie will get into that backstory, though, as we mainly see Cammy acting as a foil to Chun-Li. Andrew Schulz’s Dan Hibiki Finally, how could we forget about Dan Hibiki, probably the most divisive character in the Street Fighter franchise? Dan is played by Andrew Schulz in the movie. He, too, is a former student of Gouken, though unlike Ryu and Ken, he’s pretty much all bluster and no substance. Don’t expect him to make it very far in this tournament. Actually, it appears he may be Ken’s manager rather than an active fighter himself. Those are the fighters you need to know before watching Street Fighter.
