The galaxy far, far away is getting a tactical makeover. Star Wars: Zero Company, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and published by EA and Lucasfilm Games, is one of the most exciting Star Wars games announced in years — a turn-based tactics experience set during the Clone Wars, built by veterans of the XCOM franchise, and targeting a 2026 release on PS5, Xbox S
Seven years of silence. Seven years of the Metro community waiting, wondering, and hoping. On April 16, 2026, during an Xbox First Look broadcast, 4A Games and Deep Silver finally broke that silence — and what they revealed is more powerful, more personal, and more politically charged than anything the franchise has ever attempted. Metro 2039 is real, it is coming Winter 2026, and it carries the w
Monster Hunter Wilds launched on February 28, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC — and within three days it had sold 8 million copies, becoming the fastest-selling game in Capcom's history and one of the biggest launches in gaming that year. By December 31, 2025, it had crossed 11 million units sold. The successor to Monster Hunter: World — itself one of Capcom's greatest commercial triumphs —
For twenty years, every Gears of War game has been defined by the shadow of a single event. Emergence Day — the moment the Locust Horde erupted from beneath the surface of Sera, slaughtered over a quarter of humanity in 26 hours, and shattered a civilization that was only six months removed from an 80-year war — has been referenced, mourned, and invoked in every chapter of the franchise. And yet,
Team Ninja has been one of the most productive studios in the action RPG space for the past decade — Stranger of Paradise, Wo Long, Rise of the Ronin, Ninja Gaiden 4. Every year, a new game. Every game, a refinement of something. But Nioh 3, released on February 6, 2026 for PS5 and PC simultaneously, is not a refinement. It is a statement. The third installment in the franchise that helped define

Whether you're pushing for your final ranked goals before the season ends or preparing for the massive systemic changes coming next
The Federal Bureau of Control is back. And this time, the Oldest House is not enough to contain what's coming. Control: Resonant — officially revealed at The Game Awards 2025 and fully unveiled at PlayStation's State of Play in February 2026 — is the long-awaited sequel to Remedy Entertainment's 2019 masterpiece. Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Mac in 2026, it is Remedy's most ambitious pr
The biggest event on the Valorant Champions Tour calendar is heading somewhere it has never been before. Valorant Champions 2026 will be held in Shanghai, China from September 24 to October 18, 2026 — the first time the VCT's world championship tournament has ever been staged on Chinese soil.

In a year packed with extraordinary games, DOOM: The Dark Ages arrived on May 15, 2025 and did something unexpected: it dared to slow down. The fastest, most frantic FPS franchise in gaming history made a deliberate pivot — heavier combat, more grounded mechanics, a medieval war against Hell — and id Software pulled it off with a Metacritic score of 89, the highest for any game in the modern DOOM
There are games you play and enjoy. And then there are games that make you close the controller, sit in silence, and just breathe for a few minutes before you can move on with your day. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the latter kind. The debut game from French studio Sandfall Interactive, released on April 24, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, did something almost no game has ever done: it wo
It has been seven years since Slay the Spire redefined what a card game could be. One of the most influential indie games ever made — a game that inspired an entire genre — has finally received its sequel. Slay the Spire 2 entered Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026 for PC, macOS, and Linux at $24.99, and within days it peaked at 282,323 concurrent players. The Spire is back. And it is hungrier th
