Much to the dismay of fans who fell in love with Larian's work, it's nearly impossible that a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 will ever come from the same studio. However, Baldur's Gate is a long-running franchise, and it's highly unlikely that it will ever be completely out of the spotlight. Players simply love the cast and story of BG3 too much to ever let it go, and the game lives on through fan content, mods, and the voice actors continuing to bring their roles to life outside the game.

Gearbox Software has published a statement regarding the controversy surrounding changes to parent company Take-Two’s Terms of Service and fears that many Borderlands games now contain “spyware.” Published directly on Steam, where outcry has materialized in the form of review-bombing campaigns for all major Borderlands titles, the statement’s aim is to address concerns while “maintaining transparency and confidence with the community.” That means tackling two key talking points that have taken over the Borderlands fanbase for months, including fears of spyware and modding crackdowns. Gearbox makes its stance clear from the get-go: “Take-Two does not use spyware in its games.” While there are instances data will be collected, Gearbox doesn’t want players to fear that their private information is always up for grabs. “Take-Two identifies these practices in its Privacy Policy to provide transparency to players and comply with its legal obligations,” Gearbox’s Steam statement says. “Take-Two collects this information to deliver its services to players, including to protect the game environment and player experience. You can read more about this in the Privacy Policy.” The statement continues: “For example, player and device identifiers are collected in part to ensure the game is compatible with each player’s media, platform or website browser type. It allows us to better understand how players play games, and to personalize the user experience (like having usernames show up!). Account credentials are collected from users who choose to create accounts with Take-Two and its labels.” It’s unclear if Gearbox’s explanation of Take-Two’s Terms of Service will be enough to calm those who took up arms after the agreement was altered back in February. Meanwhile, the studio’s explanation for its stance on the modding scene is fairly straightforward. “Take-Two’s Terms of Service prohibit mods that allow users to gain an unfair advantage, negatively impact the ability of other users to enjoy the game as intended, or allow users to gain access to content that the user is not entitled to,” the statement clarifies. “We do this to protect the integrity of the game experience for all users.” This is a direct response to fears that the modding community could face repercussions for any kind of modding activity, as Gearbox says Take-Two’s primary concern lies with cheaters who could dampen the experience for other players. The statement goes as far as to say Gearbox’s parent company “generally does not seek to take action against mods that are single-player only, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of its labels and third parties.” Uproar began around May of this year when fans caught wind that Take-Two had updated its terms of service, affecting many of its existing titles. Rumor that the company was preying on user data quickly caught fire, resulting in a movement that saw the Recent Reviews sections for Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands 3 tank into the “Mostly Negative” and “Overwhelmingly Negative” zones. While concerns subsided for the back half of May, fears kicked up once again when Borderlands 2 was made free to keep (for a limited time) on June 5. For now, the Borderlands series’ Recent Reviews on Steam remain firmly in the red. Meanwhile, Gearbox is working to deliver Borderlands 4 this September. You can check out the latest news as well as a bit of gameplay by reading up on everything announced at its April 2025 State of Play presentation. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.

I've been excited about Roman Sands RE:Build since the moment I laid my eyes on it, particularly because it's from the same studio behind the ever-haunting Paratopic. Roman Sands just has a ridiculously strong art direction to it, very much one that could easily be dubbed Y2K, but I think more accurately should be seen as an evolution of the aesthetic/ era. Almost as if this is the direction it could have gone in. Read more View the full article

Now, I'm not naming any names here, but there's a certain hand-drawn metroidvania that everyone's a bit sick of waiting for by this point, and could really do with a release date. OK, fine, yes it's Hollow Knight: Silksong, and if those recent Steam backend updates mean anything, I expect it'll get some kind of update sometime in the next few days. In the meantime, here's Constance, also a hand-drawn metroidvania, that actually does have a release date. Read more View the full article

The cast of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stopped by IGN Live to not only discuss the beloved new game from Sandfall Interactive, but also to exclusively premiere an over 10-minute look at the game's making-of documentary. The exclusive clip, which you can see below, begins by putting the focus on the developers of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on the day before launch. It then takes viewers behind the scenes of motion capture performances, including how that emotional opening scene between Gustave and Sophie came to life and another fun moment between Monoco and Verso. While the documentary is still a work in progress and the full video may change, we were able to chat with Jennifer English (Maelle), Ben Starr (Verso), Shala Nyx (Sciel), Kirsty Rider (Lune), Rich Keeble (Monoco), and Maxence Cazorla (Esquie) about their work on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. "We were all really excited," English said of the time before the game launched. "We weren’t as stressed as the developers were, but I was dead nervous about it because we put all our love and heart into it and hope it pays off - and thankfully it did." "You can do whatever you do in the studio, but then it stops being yours," Starr added. "You don’t know what it’s going to become. There are so many circumstances that go into the release of a game, and I felt, personally, there was a huge amount of pressure. It’s a game I wanted to be good for the team because they had put so much work into it, and because we didn’t just come into it, we were an additional part of it." English then went on to discuss what it was like recording for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and video games in general, and it was a fascinating glimpse behind the curtain. "I get so lonely in the booth," English joked. "You have to pretend. It’s very rare in video games that you get a playmate. I think it’s happened once or twice that I’ve had another actor in the room, so it’s a real honor when people think you were together recording. Video game acting is the Olympics of acting. If you can do good acting in video games - there is some bad acting, but not in this game – you can do anything." Nyx then shared how many people have reached out to her about how her character, Sciel, has helped them with struggles in their own lives. "It’s so cinematic," Nyx said. "It’s just so wonderful to be the voice and body of a character that is so rich and has so much emotional depth. I’ve had so many people reach out to me about how my character has helped them with their depression and helped them with their mental health. It’s so ephemeral and every moment is so rich and that’s a testament to the writing." Lastly, Starr spoke on the emotional impact of the game and why we care so much about these pixels that became characters that mean a lot to us. The reason you cry is because there is so much joy to be lost," Starr said. "You can’t have something that’s just morose all the time. If these people who are so vibrantly brought to life by these actors, if we lose them, then you lose everything."

ARK: Survival Evolved first landed on Steam’s Early Access on June 2, 2015. What began as an indie dinosaur survival sandbox game has since been downloaded tens of millions of times, seen a steady cadence of expansions, spawned multiple spinoffs, and recently been remastered. The franchise has been a massive success for developer Studio Wildcard, who is celebrating the game’s 10-year anniversary with in-game events, announcements, and new content across the world of ARK. To stick with the theme of the celebration, here are 10 things currently happening in the ARK universe. 1. Who Is Blowing Out the Candles? ARK: Survival Ascended is the aforementioned remaster of ARK: Survival Evolved that launched in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. It brought the world of ARK to the next generation of consoles and includes a graphical upgrade thanks to being rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. To celebrate ARK’s 10th birthday, Studio Wildcard added lots of party-themed content to ASA, including new structures, skins, consumables, and emotes. It also added the Egg Incubator from ARK: Survival Evolved, which allows you to keep toasty 10 eggs at once and cut down the time it takes for them to hatch. 2. ARK: Genesis Part 1 Arrives on Mobile Now available on ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, the expansion pack of ARK: Genesis Part 1 is a story-oriented continuation of the series with new gameplay, creatures, craftable items, and structures. You wake up in a virtual simulation and must overcome its tests in order to uncover its secrets, all with the help of HLN-A, your chatty robot companion. As with the rest of the ARK series, you’ll need to explore, tame, build, and fight for survival. But this time, you’ll also need to adapt as your surroundings change around you. 3. New Underwater DLC Coming to ARK: Survival Evolved Many Survivors still tame, train, and ride dinosaurs in the original ARK: Survival Evolved, and now ASE is getting a new DLC called ARK: Aquatica — the first major content update since the Fjordur map arrived in summer 2022. Exclusively designed by Snail Games to celebrate ARK’s 10-year anniversary, Aquatica adds a new underwater biome and the first entirely submerged ARK of the series, introducing new survival mechanics, environmental hazards, and a large map (three times the vertical size of the Aberration map). The new biome also adds 20 new tameable water-based creatures, 69 new Engrams (62 learnable Engrams and 7 tek Engrams), and underwater survival thanks to things like air pockets and submersibles. 4. ARK: Ragnarok Ascended Is on the Way ARK: Ragnarok Ascended thunders onto ARK: Survival Ascended on June 18, bringing back the beloved map in a fully remastered form. In addition to returning favorites like the Griffin and Ice Wyvern, this update introduces a brand-new creature: the Bison — a fiercely loyal, horned powerhouse that’s as protective as it is powerful. With its volcanic chaos, rugged terrain, and a new beast to tame, Ragnarok is ready to challenge Survivors all over again. 5. Lost Colony Pre-Orders Start June 18 Pre-orders for ARK: Lost Colony, the first first massive canonical expansion pack for ARK: Survival Ascended, open on June 18. The creative team released an animated trailer earlier this year with the voice talents of Michelle Yeoh, Madeleine Madden, and Auli’i Cravalho that hinted at the map’s story. Set in a sprawling, occupied city, this full-sized expansion features new creatures, structures, gear, and powers, plus an all-new story that continues the story from ARK: Extinction. Players who pre-order will unlock exclusive Day One content and get a first taste of the action coming this November. 6. A Link to ARK 2 Lost Colony is scheduled to release in November, and its story will set the stage for the long-awaited ARK 2. The developers have teased that the upcoming DLC will include story threads, lore clues, and new mechanics that hint at what’s coming in the sequel. What exactly does that mean? We’ll just have to wait and see. 7. New Gareth Coker Music The Lost Colony map will also feature new music from video game composer Gareth Coker, who composed what became the main theme of ARK: Survival Evolved back in 2015. His extensive catalogue also includes working on Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel, Minecraft, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Halo Infinite, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. 8. Astraeos Update Expands the Frontier The first major content drop for Astraeos has arrived with the launch of Lemnokis, a massive island map crafted by renowned ARK modder Nekatus. This sprawling new island is packed with diverse biomes, hidden caves, and towering redwoods where ancient ruins and colossal statues hint at lost civilizations. The lush expansion isn’t just for sightseeing — you can take on the game’s first-ever duo minibosses, Kalydonios and Erymanthian, two massive boars that fight with fire and poison. 9. Overwolf-Powered Mods in ARK: Survival Ascended ARK: Survival Ascended embraces a thriving modding community through its partnership with CurseForge, offering players access to over 4,200 mods — including premium collaborations like the popular ARK x Power Rangers mod that lets Survivors suit up as the Green Ranger, White Ranger, Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, and more — complete with custom emotes and themed weapons like the Saba Sword and Zedd Staff. You can browse and download all official mods in the ARK Portal, where Survivors can customize their game with new creatures, gear, and gameplay experiences crafted by the community. This ecosystem keeps ARK fresh, and there’s more original and licensed mods on the horizon. 10. ARK: The Animated Series Part 2 Arrives in Late 2025 ARK: The Animated Series Part 2 premieres later in 2025, picking up Helena Walker’s survival story as she unravels more of the island’s prehistoric mysteries. Part 1, available now on Paramount+, introduced players to Helena’s world and featured a star-studded cast including Gerard Butler, David Tennant, Russell Crowe, Karl Urban, Elliot Page, Vin Diesel, Alan Tudyk, Madeleine Madden, and Michelle Yeoh — both Madden and Yeoh also appear in the ARK: Lost Colony trailer. You can also bring the show to life in-game with animated series character skins that are available now in ARK: Survival Ascended. View the full article

Cyberpunk 2077is the game that keeps on giving. CD Projekt Red's RPG has gone from tragedy to redemption and beyond, and yet another significant update is coming to the game. Despite releasing in 2020, the game has practically reinvented itself and kept fans satisfied with post-launch content well after its excellent Phantom Liberty expansion, reneging on the promise of a final patch multiple times now. Few will complain about it, though, especially since Cyberpunk 2077's Switch 2 version has just launched, bringing new players to the game. View the full article

007 First Light will lack any kind of multiplayer, one of the defining features of some of the best James Bond games ever made.

I don't think you can more easily sell me on a game than by saying it was made by one of the artists behind Celeste, and has music from Disasterpeace, i.e. the composer behind Fez, Hyper Light Drifter, and It Follows.

You might have seen an RPG with a swashbuckling theme before, but guaranteed you haven't seen one that looks like Joker Studio's Sea of Remnants. Think of a haunted toy box belonging to a deranged puppeteer, and then add a bit of glam rock for good measure. It's the perfect vibe for the story of a sailor with no memories setting out to find a cursed location, and the adventure will arrive on PC and mobile in 2026. "Our creative journey began with a spark of pure feeling—an emotional image that guided everything: 'If a puppet’s mind is soaked in water, memories slip away into the ocean, yet they still choose to return and sail again.' This early inspiration was both a playful nod to the ******** saying “ 脑子进水” ('brain soaked with water') and a philosophical reflection seen in some of our favorite films," Joker Studios told us. "When it came time to build the actual framework, we drew on a wide range of influences—from JRPGs and CRPGs to open-world titles and even niche indie games that share a spirit of boundless exploration. At every step, we focused on how to let players experience these feelings themselves, not just watch them." When you dive into Sea of Remnants you'll be focused on exploring the pirate city Orbtopia, talking to the rich cast of NPCs and - you're a sailor after all - taking to the briny waves to find islands, treasures, and hidden ruins. You can raid the ships you meet on the sea or take on huge monsters, all while a dynamic weather system rages overhead. When you're not doing that you'll be focused on upgrading your vessel, learning new skills, or even kicking back with some fishing, cooking, and mahjong. "You’ll challenge sea monsters, explore local cultures, and sense the deeper mystery of how memory and forgetting begin to intertwine between the ocean and Orbtopia, the pirate haven. Alongside your companions, you’ll begin a journey that’s equal parts unrestrained and romantic, charting a course as unique as each sailor who steps aboard," says Joker Studio. Joker Studio previously released Identity V, a survival horror game created in partnership with Dead by Daylight's Behavior Interactive. Since its release in 2018, Identity V has collaborated with Edward Scissorhands, Sherlock Holmes, Personae and Deathnote. Just like Sea of Remnants it has a distinctive visual style - think Coraline but creepier. The game made a ******* impact in Asia than the US, but it still has a dedicated fandom. "At their core, the two games exist in entirely separate worlds and storylines. That said, as a nod to fans and our shared studio DNA, you might find a few subtle Easter eggs or world-building hints here and there. But rest assured, any connections are handled with great care and won’t overshadow the unique stories of each game." IGN Live 2025 is packed with exclusive reveals, thousands of giveaways, 170 gaming stations, and tons of fun, the event is shaping up to be a huge celebration of everything fans of games, TV, movies, comics, and collectibles love, and here's how to watch the event. Rachel Weber is the Senior Editorial Director of Games at IGN and an elder millennial. She's been a professional nerd since 2006 when she got her start on Official PlayStation Magazine in the ***, and has since worked for GamesIndustry.Biz, Rolling Stone and GamesRadar. She loves horror, horror movies, horror games, and French Bulldogs. Those extra wrinkles on her face are thanks to going time blind and staying up too late finishing every sidequest in RPGs like Fallout and Witcher 3. View the full article

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and Pathfinder: Kingmaker developers Owlcat Games are venturing into the realm of "hard sci-fi" with The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a new RPG based on the James S. A. Corey novels and Syfy TV adaptations. It's an original story that casts you as a Pinkwater Security mercenary, who starts out trapped on Eros Station - an asteroid base that undergoes cataclysmic upheaval in the TV show - and later takes charge of an advanced starship, so as to quest around the solar system. The game is inspired by BioWare's Mass Effect series, with "tactical" third-person combat featuring two ally characters and cover mechanics. Also, crew romances. Here's a trailer.

How often do you drive your cars in BitLife? I know I've tried to create massive luxury car collections with rich characters, but I've only experimented with driving around a handful of times. During BitLife's Speed ****** challenge, that changes completely. Table of contentsBitLife Speed ****** challenge guideBe born a male in Los AngelesSteal five or more carsDrive fast around downtown LAShake the cops while drivingRob a bankBitLife Speed ****** challenge guide BitLife's Speed ****** challenge has five objectives to complete: Be born a male in Los AngelesSteal five or more carsDrive fast around downtown LAShake the cops while drivingRob a bank You won't need the racing expansion to finish this challenge. However, having the ****** special career pack for the criminal special talent can help make several of these tasks easier. Nonetheless, this is optional, and it's still entirely possible to complete this without the help of any packs. Be born a male in Los Angeles Our first task of BitLife's Speed ****** challenge is to create a character born in Los Angeles. To do this, select 'Male' as your gender before choosing the United States as your starting country and Los Angeles as your place. Screenshot by Destructoid Since this challenge revolves around driving, you won't need to worry about your stats or special talents. Having the criminal special talent can make car theft and bank robbery tasks much easier, but you're not required to use it if you don't own the prerequisite pack. Steal five or more cars Speaking of crime, it's time to take some cars. You can take cars by heading into Activities, Crime, and Grand Theft Auto. From here, your goal is to steal five cars without getting caught by BitLife's police. For the most part, this is pretty simple. There's a chance the car's owner will come by and confront you or that your character will struggle with stealing the vehicle. If this happens, it's generally safer to leave it, age up, and try again with more cars. Aside from that, what you do with the cars is up to you. However, I recommend keeping at least one for the next task. Drive fast around downtown LA Screenshot by Destructoid Now that you have some cars, it's time to start driving. To do this, head into Assets, select your vehicle, and pick Drive to encounter a pop-up menu for your driving options. You'll need to pick "over the speed limit," followed by "downtown" as your destination. I wouldn't suggest bringing any passengers, but it's up to you. Shake the cops while driving All kinds of interactions can happen while driving. The one we're looking for is the police chasing after you. When this happens, try to drive away to give yourself a chance to shake them. Screenshot by Destructoid Odds are, you probably won't succeed on your first try. If you do, great—that makes one of the toughest parts of this challenge much easier. Otherwise, you can close and restart your BitLife app or accept the consequences and try again in the future. Rob a bank The final task of BitLife's Speed ****** challenge is to rob a bank. Head back into the Crime menu before picking Bank Robbery. Your bank, weapon, and disguise are entirely up to you: what matters is that you're successful in your attempt. Like the previous task, this one has a somewhat high chance of failing. It's entirely luck-based, leaving you to either accept your fate after receiving the result or close and reopen the game if you fail. As long as you have one successful outcome, you'll knock out this task and complete BitLife’s Speed ****** challenge.

The world of Hagga Basin in Dune Awakening is not filled with riches, so it is crucial to master the art of trading to always have some spare Solaris in your inventory. The new MMO offers a lot of trading freedom: you can choose between AI-controlled vendors and other human players. When you start playing the game, your options will be pretty limited. Let's quickly take a look at how to buy and sell items like an expert to increase your wealth. We will explore your trading options against the AI first, as that's much easier to manage. How to purchase and sell items in Dune Awakening from Trading Posts Trading Posts will introduce you to the world of buying and selling items in Dune Awakening. They're available in every major region (including the one where we begin our adventures). These posts have a merchant located over there at all hours. You can check out what items are on offer and purchase them by simply paying the required Solaris. You can also sell the items in your inventory, and the merchant will pay you the offered price. However, there's a catch, as the cost of any commodity depends on the forces of supply and demand. You won't earn much if you're trying to sell too many of the same item at a location. Similarly, certain locations will have an affinity towards a specific type of item, and the merchant there will be willing to pay extra. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you reach a Trading Post at a location, you'll come across a Contract Board. Accept the job, and it will lead you to the Trading Post in the next area. Can you trade with other players in Dune Awakening You can trade with other players just like with AI-controlled merchants. The basic premise is the same, but you'll have to visit The Exchange—which is essentially the player-managed market. To do so, you must visit the Social Hubs (found at Harko Village and Arrakeen). Let's check out the full process in the next section. How to buy and sell at The Exchange in Dune Awakening You'll have to speak with the Taxi NPCs to reach the social hubs. These NPCs can be found at all the Trading Posts, and they will charge you a 2,500 Solaris fee. You won't have to go through this once you get an Ornithopter. Screenshot by Destructoid Go to the CHOAM Exchange Store at the Social Hub. You'll find something called a sales terminal; interact with it, and you'll be able to find many items listed by other players that you can buy. You can also list your items and price them as you want. Again, be aware of the market's asking rate so that you have better chances of selling your products. You will also come across NPC vendors who sell unique vehicle parts, rare resources, and more. Typically, these items aren't found at the Trading Posts, but they also cost more Solaris, so managing your resources is a matter.

Dune Awakening has different ways to test your survivability, and using a Stillsuit in certain situations can be the difference between life and death. This special type of armor (if we can call it that) has a unique arrangement that allows you to generate water passively during your adventures. It's a perfect solution for beginners to manage all their water needs while away from their bases. Moreover, there are multiple options to pick from as you unlock more blueprints. All Stillsuit options in Dune Awakening Every Stillsuit has four parts: Body, Boots, Gloves, and Masks (slightly different from armor), and Fabricators make them. It takes a bit of time for you to research a Fabricator. Once done, you can manufacture Stillsuit parts with the correct resources. Stillsuit PartArmorScavenger Stillsuit Mask3Scavenger Stillsuit Gloves2Scavenger Stillsuit Body6Scavenger Stillsuit Boots2Kirab Stillsuit Mask4Kirab Stillsuit Gloves3Kirab Stillsuit Body10Kirab Stillsuit Boots3Slaver Stillsuit Mask6Slaver Stillsuit Gloves5Slaver Stillsuit Body15Slaver Stillsuit Boots5Native Stillsuit Mask9Native Stillsuit Gloves7Native Stillsuit Body23Native Stillsuit Boots7Mercenary Stillsuit Mask14Mercenary Stillsuit Gloves11Mercenary Stillsuit Body35Mercenary Stillsuit Boots11 There are two other pieces not mentioned on the table above. These two items aren't part of a set directly (yet to verify if there are other parts). The Hollower Stillsuit Gloves offer 19 Armor, and so do the Hollower Stillsuit Boots. These two items are the best Stillsuit Gloves and Boots, respectively, when it comes to defense. Are Stillsuits worth using in Dune Awakening? Compared to Light Armor and Heavy Armor, Stillsuits don't provide too much protection. They have armor values, but Light and Heavy Armors offer more protection. If you're traveling longer distances, it's better to use a Stillsuit. You'll need water on your journey, and Stillsuits create the resource passively. If you're expecting fights and combat, switch to your Light or Heavy Armor. Managing your water levels should be your secondary priority, as you should focus more on protecting your health from the enemy's attack.

New multiplayer FPS Splitgate 2 is facing a negative response among its player base for expensive microtransactions introduced with its full launch. The fast-paced arena shooter, which uses portals to allow quick traversal around its maps, was launched out of beta during the Summer Game Fest showcase, but has been met with criticism over its new battle royale mode and pricey cosmetics in the wake of 1047 Games co-founder Ian Proulx's on-stage appearance, where he spoke of being "tired of playing the same Call of Duty every year."

Fortnite has just wrapped up its latest explosive live event, detonating the Death Star looming over the Island and welcoming DC Comics hero Superman in the process. Tonight's event, Death Star Sabotage, saw nearly 6 million players infiltrate the Empire's fully operational battle station that has hovered menacingly over the Fortnite battle royale Island throughout its Star Wars mini-season. Happily, and perhaps unsurprisingly, players were able to stop the station's deadly space laser from obliterating the game's map — although not without causing a bit of damage in the process. As destruction rained down, the event's closing moments saw Superman arrive — presumably to try and help with clean up duties during the game's incoming superhero-themed season, which begins in just a few hours' time. Fortnite's big Star Wars event began in orbit around the game's battle royale Island, giving players a rare glimpse at the game's setting from outside its usual boundaries. Fortnite's setting exists as a bubble of reality floating through the multiverse (which handily allows any character from any franchise to turn up at any time!) and here, players were able to pilot X-Wings and TIE-Fighters to blow up orbiting Star Destroyers and engage in fun dogfights. In the continued absence of a Star Wars: Battlefront 3, this was a fun riff on its space battles to get things started. The action then swiftly moved to within the Death Star itself, as Fortnite heroes Jonesy (Troy Baker) and Hope (Suzie Yeung) led players through the bowels of the station, initially disguised as Stormtroopers and their captives. Ultimately, players found themselves in an encounter with Star Wars' Emperor (was that the voice of Sheev Palpatine himself, Ian McDiarmid?), and able to escape the Death Star as it exploded. In a nod to Fortnite's 2021 live event Operation Sky Fire (which also ended in a space station exploding above the game's Island), players were initially left to celebrate their victory — until the realisation that huge flaming chunks of said space station were now raining down on their battle royale home. And here, one of these chunks smashed straight into the glowing Rift Gate used to access the spirit realm by Fortnite's current antihero Daigo, unleashing its untold power. The event's final moments see players back on the Island, mysterious energy now crackling around them. (Will this be the explanation for why superpowers now exist in the next battle royale season? Quite possibly.) Meanwhile, Superman is seen watching the Island from afar, as it is flooded by spirit realm energy. The suggestion here, of course, is that Superman will be swooping in to help. Fortnite will, for the first time, follow up a major live event with a new season launch on the same day. Following the conclusion of Death Star Sabotage, Fortnite is currently in downtime, but will return with Chapter 6: Season 3 in just a few hours' time. As you might expect from Superman's arrival, this next season will indeed be superhero themed — and as eagle-eyed players have noticed, this is indeed the new version played by David Corenswet from James Gunn's upcoming Superman movie. That's some well-timed brand synergy! While highly anticiapated, Fortnite's Star Wars season saw some of the game's lowest player numbers in some time — perhaps in response to its daring decision to remove all regular weapons (and all ammo!) and fully commit to a five-week ******* of Star Wars gunplay.

While there are quite a few ongoing games and future projects in the works using the Marvel IP, Arc System Works surprised everyone with the reveal of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a 2D tag-team fighting game. Following in the wake of Marvel Rivals, it seems that Disney is content to lend the heroes and villains of Marvel to Eastern developers, and Arc System Works is one of the best possible choices for fighting games.
