No Man's Sky Cosmos is Hello Games' latest update, and it's making enormous changes to space itself after 10 years. Cosmos is out for free today, September 9, hot on the heels of the big 10th anniversary blowout. "No Man’s Sky is often referred to as 'a Space Game', it’s a huge part of our game, but we’ve never really updated space since release," Hello Games says of the update. Space has certainly changed now. Cosmos is headlined by space station ownership, which Hello Games says "must be our most requested feature since launch." "Finally players can buy the space station for themselves! Build and decorate it both inside and externally, and some wild creativity is possible. You can create your own themed Station as your own clubhouse and have friends come and visit." To help build your space station, you might want to pay a visit to "space hulks," which are basically big clusters of resources floating in space. With help from a gravity gun and "a new tractor beam fitted to your ship," you can strip these hulks for materials. The kicker is that too much structural damage to a hulk will cause it to melt down and explode, so you'll need to prioritize and work quickly. These space hulks also show off "our new volumetric lighting tech," says Hello Games boss Sean Murray. [Hidden Content] Luckily, you can enlist the help of new player alliances for the job. "As an alliance, you can work together to build a networked empire of different stations and rise the new leaderboards to compete for the largest, richest or most prominent alliance," Hello Games says. That network will be easier to navigate thanks to a new star map that reveals points of interest, including "whole new strands of missions and exploration," whenever you warp to a system. New points of interest introduced in Cosmos include outposts where you can trade with aliens, bio-wrecks to be "cleared out and reclaimed," asteroid belts with rare crystals, and orbital bases that "can be built ANYWHERE in space." You can even put a star base on a "rare" large asteroid if you want. And you know what, ****** it, while we're at it, go to the sun. "Finally players can try to undertake a perilous journey to reach the center of their own star system!" says Hello Games. This is all bookended by a new Expedition that packs 10 years of No Man's Sky updates – a whopping 40 of 'em – into a playable museum. "It’s been a real joy to revisit some of those moments for us," the studio adds. "This has been a wild undertaking for our team," Murray says in a Cosmos deep dive video. "So many things that we never thought we'd do. Having alliances of tens of thousands of players, real communities working together, claiming space stations. It's pretty cool, but it's been a lot of work." A typically enthusiastic Murray says Cosmos "creates foundations for the future," making good on his threat to release free No Man's Sky content forever. 10 years of No Man's Sky: How Hello Games and Sean Murray keep getting away with it.

The Blood of Dawnwalker was released on September 3, and despite being younger than a week old, developer Rebel Wolves is already moving ahead with a sequel. Given that some game sequels take decades to make or that sometimes desired sequels never come, many may be surprised to hear that The Blood of Dawnwalker team is already moving on (if at a small scale now, to support the main release).

Plans for the sequel to The Blood of Dawnwalker are already underway, according to one of the game’s leads. It’s no surprise that The Blood of Dawnwalker studio Rebel Wolves wanted to make a sequel to the game – when it was announced back in October 2024 that Bandai Namco would be publishing the game, it was introduced as the first entry in the Dawnwalker saga. Sequel plans usually require some degree of success before they can go ahead, however, and with The Blood of Dawnwalker already selling a million copies, it seems that Rebel Wolves is keen to get going on the second game right away.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? I know, it's a tough one. I'll put it another way. What came first, Todd Howard's lone desire to make a space RPG or what the devs working under him had initially anticipated they'd be working on once Fallout 4 shipped? Well, according to a fresh account given by long-time Bethesda developer and Skyrim co-lead designer Kurt Kuhlmann, those among the latter who'd mentally prepped to be making The Elder Scrolls 6 right away were rather whisked along on an interstellar journey Todd seemingly charted a course for without much of a heads up.

It's a lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible house. Wait, let's start that again. As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed into a horrible house. Wait, let's start that again: "You wake up as a House. Your limbs stretch through endless rooms filled with grotesque creatures. You can never see outside of yourself, never feel the world that lies beyond the fleshy walls of your body. You manage your insides as best you can, but you wonder: are you a good house or just a pale afterthought of the House Before?" Read more View the full article

We stepped into Port Desire’s bustling street market to conduct a simple, albeit grisly experiment: How many people can we make explode into bits of blood and pulp with a single gunshot? To achieve this messy masterpiece, we walked slowly into the middle of a tightly packed crowd to find the optimal spot for maximum impact. A stasis grenade was then thrown into the mix, suspending every unfortunate body within its blast radius in a vibrating, temporal state. Such is the kinetic energy built up by the event that all it took was a single headshot for a chain reaction to begin, each subsequent body erupting into wet chunks of bone and organ as the market transformed into a human popcorn maker. In turn, this set off a nearby box of ammunition to continue the carnage, firing off extra bullets in all directions to claim yet more victims. This is only one example of how No Law’s malleable systems can be bent to your own sick desires. This could, maybe just, be the Deus Ex successor I’ve been waiting for. When not painted with the insides of its civilian population, Port Desire is a vibrant, neon metropolis. Think Cyberpunk’s Night City crossed with Dishonored 2’s Karnaca, its Mediterranean-like vegetation fighting back to reclaim the land as vines wind up glass, steel, and concrete architecture. It’s home to Grey Harker, an ex-military man who’s just trying to lead a quiet retirement. As is the way, though, trouble finds its way to his door, and he’s left with no choice but to invite violence back into his life and clean up this city once and for good. With a body built like Reacher’s and the deductive mind of Deckard, he’s your vehicle for navigating this world, and you can use it however you see fit. At first glance, No Law might look like Cyberpunk 2077, but to be frank, so will any first-person sci-fi shooter set in a futuristic metropolis that follows in the footsteps of William Gibson’s genre-defining cyberpunk fiction. But there's an important distinction between No Law and 2077. This isn’t an RPG; it’s an immersive sim shooter in the mold of genre pioneer Deus Ex. No Law’s city is smaller than the average open world, but incredibly dense. There’s a sense of verticality begging to be explored, from dingy, rat-filled subways to rooftops high above. But these layers aren’t just set dressing — each tier can be scaled, especially once the ability to perform cybernetically enhanced superjumps is unlocked. But for all the sci-fi tech and gadgetry on show, it’s still the human mind that is predominantly being pushed to its limits, and your ability to consider every possible approach to an objective. This is best showcased in a simple mission. The task, in theory, was simple: gain access to a second-floor room of an apartment complex. But in order to do so, we’d need to deal with a group of gang members, a surly, unhelpful receptionist, and a locked door. To show the full range of options available when faced with such a series of obstacles, developer Neon Giant walked me through the infiltration in two distinctly different ways. First, we went for the sneaky option. Harker may be the size of a small tank, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t well-versed in the art of stealth. To circumvent the gun-toting gang members gathered outside the front door of the building, we searched for an alternative way in. This led us around the side, where we clambered up to some high ground and scuttled behind our would-be attackers, dropping down silently before sneaking through an open door. A turn to the right brought us face-to-face with a grumpy concierge dressed in a terrible flower-patterned suit. I could tell he smelled the opposite of the petals adorning his jacket, but his attitude stank even more. He wasn’t going to let us pass through to the staircase, which led up towards our goal. And so, we were left with a choice to make. The quickest way would be to offer a bribe and cough up enough cash to make him turn a blind eye. But we didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of earning anything from us other than a powerful feeling of disdain, so we searched around the lobby area until we found a password written on a piece of paper attached to a notice board. Just that bit of patience and a willingness to search for an alternative solution saved us a whole lot of money. Up the stairs we went, making sure to sneak past a couple of enemies patrolling the landing. The next puzzle to solve was how to get into the room that was the whole reason for us being here. The door was, predictably, locked, and we didn’t have any lockpicking gear with us, so another way in had to be found. So, we checked out the next-door neighbour, who had conveniently left their door ajar before falling asleep inside. We made sure to crouch and move quietly so as not to wake them, stealing some of their food and reading their personal diary while we were at it. Once full of nutrients and new info, we spotted a vent leading into the next room. And so, following in Batman’s tradition of oversized men somehow nimbly crawling through ducts not meant for them, Harker squeezed his way into the room at the heart of our objective. But of course, this could’ve gone an entirely much bloodier way. We reloaded the save and started all over again, this time intent on causing chaos. That group of troublemakers loitering outside? One throw of the aforementioned stasis grenade and a round of ammunition quickly turned them into chunks. That awfully dressed, sweaty meat sack of a receptionist? A swift bullet to the head meant he had no more use for passwords. Perhaps the most interesting change this time around, though, was that this new run-through took place at night, and so the two gang members upstairs now exhibited different behaviours than when we snuck past them during daylight. One was leaning over a bannister, so we walked up behind them and sharply snapped their neck. The other lay asleep in bed – not that such slumber could stop us from taking out our pistol and making sure he’d never wake again, though. This time, getting into the target room was much easier, thanks to this save having dropped a lockpicking device in our pocket and enough skill points to upgrade our breaking-and-entering ability and make our way in. Incidentally, this time we entered, items had fallen from shelves and lay strewn across the floor due to the impact of the stasis grenade explosion outside just moments earlier. It’s another great example of how reactive the world of No Law is to your actions. Developed by a small team of just 24 members, it really is remarkable how good it all looks and sounds. It’s a city packed with detail, too. Outside of the quest, we took time to stroll around its streets and take in some of the sights. Developed by a small team of just 24 members, it really is remarkable how good it all looks and sounds. Grimy, yet bright. Modern, yet lived in. Just browsing around a local shop, I couldn’t quite believe how much work had gone into making every item on its shelves — all of which can be added to your basket and consumed for a variety of buffs and bonuses. This is an open world that promises big, explosive moments, but one that isn’t forgetting about the small details, either. Each drink bottle and piece of food packaging has been handcrafted — Neon Giant isn’t a team interested in letting generative AI replace its artistry. Of course, as is the immersive sim way, there are multiple ways to procure these items, too. You can be a normal citizen and simply shop here, filling up your inventory at the expense of emptying your wallet. You could steal the items, but the shopkeeper will remember and not be very happy to see you next time you set foot in there. Or, you can do what we did and wait until night, find the key to the back door, and sneak in while the owner is asleep. This is a persistent world, too, so when a door’s lock is cracked, this method of entry will remain available for the rest of your playthrough. One thing that’s as of yet unclear is if Neon Giant has the storytelling chops to fully engross me in this world — neither the slice I saw here nor the studio’s previous sci-shooter, The Ascent, have been narratively focused — but it’s the promise of the stories I’ll be able to tell through the tools handed to me in No Law that has me most excited. Yes, Deus Ex: Human Revolution tells a great tale of corporate ethics and conspiracy worthy of the wonderful sci-fi scenery it's set against, and Dishonored 2’s revenge drama stemming from a royal coup is highly engaging, but it’s the moments of magic I created within those stories that live longest in my memory. It’s the possibility of this, and all of the numerous other anecdotes No Law promises to offer, that has me most excited. That, and seeing if I can set a new record for the number of heads exploded by a single bullet. View the full article

The Razer Blade series truly has become the gold standard for gaming laptops over the past few years. With some impressive laptops in the Blade lineup, the latest iteration of the Razer Blade 16 is one I’ve been eager to spend some time with. Promising impressive power gains over previous generations, better battery life, and the thinnest Blade 16 chassis to date, there is a lot to appreciate with the new Blade 16. The Blade 16 2026 is, as noted, the thinnest iteration of the Blade 16 series. Measuring an impressively thin 14.9–17.4 x 250.5 x 335 mm (W x D x H), the Blade 16 is one of the thinnest gaming laptop form factors I’ve tested to date. Weighing 2.14 kg, it’s also relatively light considering the all-aluminium chassis. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, such as the Blade 18 2025 and Blade 16 2025, the new Blade 16 2026 features the iconic matte ****** design, giving it a sleek finish.

Various new games – and I mean various – have reportedly suffered countless spoilers thanks to a Steam leak that's seen their achievements go entirely public. From Kingdom Hearts 4 to Persona 6 to Silent Hill: Townfall to… well, you name it, there's a downright plethora of titles seemingly affected by the massive leak on Valve's platform. You can find lists of every game (and their achievements, be warned) on online forums and websites like Twitter – and it's all so big it's nearly mind-blowing. They're all live on achievement tracker site Exophase, too, but I'd once again caution checking anything out in too much detail. UPDATE | Another 42 Achievements lists leaked on Exophase and Steam dB via Gematsu and GLARArmatushttps://t.co/KYeTVlTGqwBrawl Stars - spin-off gamehttps://t.co/LJdX2RIHDgNew Candy Crush gamehttps://t.co/5bUxBhqt1hClive Barker's Hellraiser: Revivalhttps://t.co/HJwCnlr2U8… [Hidden Content] pic.twitter.com/VmAreb9TDfSeptember 9, 2026 Not only does the leak apparently expose a load of upcoming games' achievements, but it also lifts the veil on many "unannounced" titles, as users point out in a social media thread on the whole debacle. There's an "unannounced Dune game" in there, an "unannounced Twin Peaks game," and even a dang "unannounced Shrek 2 Remaster" mentioned, y'all… and, erm… ****** Bird? Put simply, it's one heck of a leak – and not just of games we knew about. So, how did this all happen in the first place? Well, it seems to boil down to an API error that isn't exactly new to Steam. For anyone who might not know what that means (because I certainly didn't), API stands for application programming interface, and it's essentially a set of rules that allows software programs to communicate. Exophase owner "x3sphere" has described it a bit over on ResetEra, confirming what happened. "I am the owner of the site and this is what appears to have happened," he writes. "Seems like a possible ****** up on Valve's end, a bunch of games with achievements that should be private are accessible through the API right now and that's why they got scanned into the site. I usually never see games without an actual name pop up with achievements, yet over the past hour or so a bunch have." Oof. Valve has yet to respond itself, but I'm not sure it will aside from remedying the apparent private information from each game. As for studios like ***** and Square Enix which have seemingly seen their unreleased games go a bit more public, I doubt we'll hear anything, either. So, there you have it – you can go explore the findings yourself if you're interested it, but after taking a peek at the alleged Persona 6 achievements myself, I can say I sort of wish I hadn't. Spoilers, spoilers everywhere… and I shan't be sharing them here.

Persona 4 Revival might not be making any major changes to its characters, but the remake has still given Atlus the opportunity to "go more in-depth" with some of them, the game's producer reveals. I spoke to producer Kazuhisa Wada at Gamescom last month, where I asked him about the previously announced changes to Yosuke – a party member with some homophobic dialogue in the original JRPG and its Golden re-release, which was obviously never going to make it into the remake without some serious alterations. Wada told me that "the characters are all the same people. We haven't changed any parts of their personalities," but that "we've adjusted dialogue to make it more modern and to be more effective telling the story." Even if Atlus isn't changing anyone's personality, though, Wada now tells Eurogamer in a new interview that we can expect some characters to be further explored in the remake. "In a lot of ways, there has been something more we could explore with every character," he begins. "Since Persona 4 came out, there have been a number of spin-off games that have been released, where we developed the characters and their personalities. So when we were making Revival, we took aspects of that and helped it to inform our characters and add detail and depth. For the team, it was Yosuke and Kanji that they really wanted to explore and go more in-depth with." Art director Akane Kabayashi adds to this, noting that returning to the RPG made her realize that "Chie is forced to wear a lot of different hats and do a lot of different things. You can see that Chie and Yukiko are like 'double heroines,' but Chie is given a lot more stuff to do than Yukiko is, and it made me really respect that aspect of her." (Image credit: Atlus, *****) I'm particularly interested by Wada highlighting Yosuke and Kanji here, especially the former. Going back to Yosuke's homophobia in the original – aimed at Kanji, as it happens – many had theorized that this could be recontextualized in Revival as internalized homophobia via a newly added romance route between him and the protagonist. After all, datamined voice lines from the OG JRPG suggest this was once meant to be an option. However, Wada also told me at Gamescom that despite being aware of the fan demand for Yosuke romance, "we were thinking, if we did Yosuke, we kind of would have to do all the other male characters as well. And if we did that, that is a lot of work. So we were thinking about our time and schedule. I don't know if we could actually handle this, so we decided to let Yosuke float on by." So, that theory has been debunked. Even if there's no actual romance route though, Wada's latest comments do have me wondering how Atlus has expanded on Yosuke's character, and if that aforementioned idea could have been explored without changing his social link. For now, we'll just have to wait until February to find out. Persona 4 Revival is the best looking Persona to date, and after 1 hour playing, I'm already desperate to return to Inaba.

Achievements for various upcoming games have been made public as part of a significant Steam leak. Spoiler-filled achievements for Persona 6 and Kingdom Hearts 4, among many others, appeared on achievement tracking website Exophase. In the case of Kingdom Hearts 4, the achievements reveal unannounced worlds. The Persona 6 achievements hint at plot points. Little is known about Persona 6, which was announced during June’s Xbox Games Showcase with the teaser, below. We do know it's a day-one Game Pass title, though, and that it is due out on Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. Here’s the official blurb: “Persona 6 brings everything beloved about the series into a bold new story. The signature blend of heartfelt daily life and pulse-pounding supernatural adventure returns, wrapped around a completely fresh, standalone story and a new cast of characters. Whether you've been with the series since the beginning or this is your very first Persona experience, you belong here!” Square Enix has announced just one Kingdom Hearts 4 world so far: Coco. Last month, Kingdom Hearts 4 co-director **** Yasue and series creator Tetsuya Nomura assured fans that it is a "100% thing" the game will not be delayed past its late 2027 launch window. The owner of Exophase blamed this leak on Steam owner Valve. “Seems like a possible ****** up on Valve's end, a bunch of games with achievements that should be private are accessible through the API right now and that's why they got scanned into the site,” x3sphere said in a post on ResetEra. “I usually never see games without an actual name pop up with achievements, yet over the past hour or so a bunch have (when there's an unknown name we just set it to the AppID).” Also included in the leak are a number of unannounced games, such as a Steam release for Capcom’s much-loved Nintendo 3DS game, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. There’s also an unannounced Nickelodeon game, unannounced Telltale Games The Walking Dead Collection, and an unannounced Tetris game. Gematsu has a roundup. View the full article
