Take-Two had its latest earnings call last night, so naturally CEO Strauss Zelnick has been asked a whole bunch of questions about GTA 6's delay to May 2026. His explanation of the reasoning behind it is pretty much what you'd expect, and while he's not fully committing, he at least sounds a bit confident in the game not catching another delay further down the road.

Epic’s long-running battle with Apple over the future of Fortnite on iOS devices has taken another turn, with Epic accusing Apple of blocking its Fortnite submission so it can’t release the game to the U.S. App Store. Earlier this month, Epic boss Tim Sweeney said Fortnite would return to the U.S. iOS App Store and iPhones in a matter of days after a significant court ruling. On April 30, a U.S. Federal District Court in California found that Apple wilfully violated a court order in the Epic Games v. Apple case that required Apple to enable developers to offer their customers alternative ways to make purchases outside apps. In January, IGN reported on how Sweeney had spent billions of dollars fighting Apple and Google over the way the companies run their app stores. Sweeney told IGN at the time that he considered it a long-term investment in Epic and Fortnite’s future, insisting Epic could afford to keep up the fight for decades to come. Sweeney’s ongoing battle to get Fortnite back on iPhones and Android phones while avoiding paying store fees is well-documented. The gist is this: Epic doesn’t want to pay the now standard 30% store fees on revenue made on mobile games. Instead, it wants to run the likes of Fortnite through its own mobile store, the Epic Games Store, without Apple and Google getting in the way and gobbling up its profit. Back in 2020, this dispute ended up with Fortnite blocked from release on iOS. After Sweeney’s tweet it was expected that Fortnite would return to iOS, but so far… nothing. And now, Epic has issued a statement to IGN providing an update: “Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it.” That’s a terrible situation for Epic, which has lost out on billions of dollars of revenue in the five years since Fortnite was booted off iPhones. Now, Tim Sweeney is tweeting at Apple boss Tim Cook to try to get him to change his mind. “Hi Tim. How about if you let our mutual customers access Fortnite? Just a thought.” Hi Tim. How about if you let our mutual customers access Fortnite? Just a thought. — Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) May 15, 2025 After the court ruling, Apple was referred to federal prosecutors for violating the U.S. court order. "Apple’s continued attempts to interfere with competition will not be tolerated," U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said. "This is an injunction, not a negotiation. There are no do-overs once a party willfully disregards a court order." The Judge referred Apple and one of its executives, Alex Roman, vice president of finance, to federal prosecutors for a criminal contempt investigation into their conduct in the case. Roman gave testimony about the steps Apple took to comply with her injunction that was "replete with misdirection and outright lies," the judge wrote. In a statement issued at the time, Apple said: "we strongly disagree with the decision. We will comply with the court’s order and we will appeal." Last week, Apple asked the U.S. appeals court to pause the ruling in the Epic Games case. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Not actually a stealth FPS hybrid of Blood and Thief - although I'd pay good money for that - Bloodthief is closer to something like Ghostrunner but also, I think, much better. The Steam demo's opening levels are roughly as tricky and demanding as the cyberpunk parkour series but, perhaps to due to less concern with being stylish, the movement here feels a lot more caffeinated. You only have to look at the visuals to clock that Bloodthief isn't that sort of game that's precious about letting you do silly things with momentum. Also you're a vampire, with a sword, exsanguinating armoured knights in a vaguely Germanic medieval town. Well, Vae my Victus. I do get very excited when anything reminds me, even a little, of Blood Omen: Legacy Of Kain. Here's a nice little video of the game in action. Warning: this trailer for the game Bloodthief has blood in it. Read more View the full article

***** Raymond has left Haven Studios, the Sony-owned developer behind online multiplayer shooter Fairgames, with the game reportedly delayed following an external test in yet another blow to PlayStation's live service ambition. According to Bloomberg, Raymond exited the company she founded several weeks after an external test of Fairgames apparently didn’t go down well. The game was due out fall 2025 but is now delayed to spring 2026. As Bloomberg put it: PlayStation leadership didn’t give Haven staff a reason for her departure, but it came several weeks after an external test of Haven’s first game, the online shooter Fairgames, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Some developers at Haven were concerned about how the game was received and its progress, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly. Sony is sticking with Haven and Fairgames for now, with new co-studio heads Marie-Eve Danis and Pierre-François Sapinski in place. It’s yet more trouble for Sony’s embattled live service ambition, which now appears to be in full retreat. While Arrowhead’s Helldivers 2 was a breakout hit, becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game of all time with 12 million copies sold in just 12 weeks, Sony’s other live service games were either canceled or suffered disastrous launches. Indeed, Sony’s Concord is one of the biggest video game disasters in PlayStation history, lasting just a couple of weeks before it was brought offline amid eye-wateringly low player numbers. Sony later decided to kill the game entirely and shut its developer. The Concord flop came after Sony had already canceled Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us multiplayer game. And earlier this year, Sony reportedly canceled two unannounced live service games, one a God of War title in development at Bluepoint, the other in the works at Days Gone developer Bend. Sony announced plans in February 2022 to launch more than 10 live service games by March 2026, later saying the push would bring games of different genres to different audiences. It spent big on studio buyouts as part of the drive, bringing in Destiny developer Bungie, ***** Raymond's Haven Studios, and Firewalk Studios. In 2023, Sony president Hiroki Totoki said the company was reviewing the 12 live service PlayStation games it had in the works, and committed to launching only six of them by the end of financial year 2025, meaning by the end of March 2026. Totoki said Sony was still working on when the other six live service games would come out, adding: "It's not that we stick to certain titles, but for the gamers quality should be the most important.” Bungie is still flying the live service flag, with Destiny 2 ongoing and the in-development Marathon set to launch fully. Earlier this month, Sony announced a new PlayStation studio called teamLFG and teased its debut game, which is a live service incubation project. Guerrilla’s Horizon multiplayer game is also in development. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

With Helldivers 2 still going strong, despite having to navigate some difficult moments since its launch last year, the top dog at developer Arrowhead has revealed that it is now exploring some "cool concepts" for its next game, which will also be "100%" funded by the Swedish studio. This confirms that Arrowhead won't be continuing its partnership with Sony and Playstation for its next project, even though "there would be no Helldivers if it wasn't for them."

Bungie has acknowledged the unauthorized use of an independent artist's work in Marathon, placing the blame on a former employee.

Thank your own personal deity--possibly Prince Ahzrak--it's Friday! The sales shelves are stacked, the discounts are deep, and there’s no better time to finally tick off a wishlist title you’ve been eyeing since launch. Whether you’re a couch co-op diehard, a story-driven solo adventurer, or just here for sweet, sweet freebies, this end of week haul is stuffed with titles worth our hard-earned dollarydoos. This Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm celebrating the 12th birthday of Deadly Premonition, a so-bad-it's-great cult hit. Basically, this was an incredibly low-budget Japanese Twin Peaks with ropey visuals, controls, script, voice acting—you name it, they SMSed it in. Considering all of this, you should definitely treat yourself to a drive (hopefully at a heavily discounted rate) to the strange city of Greenvale.
