Elder Scrolls 6 Full Name May Be Hidden in Starfield Following CEO Tease

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma set the gaming world ablaze this week with a tantalizing, partially redacted tease seemingly revealing a subtitle for The Elder Scrolls 6, the long-awaited follow-up to Skyrim.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Impressions Highlight Massive Scale and Complexity

The gaming press got their hands on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave ahead of its Nintendo Switch 2 release, and the verdict from multiple outlets is clear: Intelligent Systems has built something remarkably ambitious. Eurogamer's preview, filed after a full 20 hours with the game, called out its "massive scale, complexity, and ambition," noting that even veteran fans coming from Three Houses or Engage will find themselves in unfamiliar territory. The scope appears to go well beyond what the series has attempted before, suggesting Fortune's Weave could represent a genuine generational leap for the franchise.

Halo Co-Creator Marcus Lehto Slams Campaign Evolved's Ring Design and Art Direction

Marcus Lehto, the co-creator of Halo widely known as the "father of Master Chief," has gone public with sharp criticism of Halo: Campaign Evolved, the recently released remake that has had a turbulent launch period. Lehto's most pointed grievance is aimed at the visual redesign of the iconic Halo rings, which he says look far too shiny and pristine compared to the weathered, mysterious aesthetic of the originals. He reportedly described the ring's appearance as "the most offensive thing we see every time we boot up the game," a sentiment that has resonated strongly with fans who share similar concerns about the remake's art direction departing too far from its roots.

Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine Previews Show Ferocious Combat and Full Disc Version

Insomniac Games has finally pulled back the curtain on Marvel's Wolverine ahead of its September 15 PlayStation 5 launch, with hands-on previews painting a picture of a ferocious, cinematic action game that takes pieces of X-Men history and remixes them into a brand-new story. Outlets that went hands-on described combat as vicious and destructive, fitting for a character defined by his berserker rage and near-indestructibility. Head of Technology Mike Fitzgerald noted that Insomniac puts heavy emphasis on how a game opens, suggesting the studio is swinging for a strong first impression. Some critics, however, flagged the experience as feeling a little predictable in spots, hinting the game's deeper strengths may lie in how it develops beyond its opening hours.

A controversy surrounding Saber Interactive and its game Rideshare Stimulator has intensified after the studio's CEO made a series of public comments that many are calling extraordinarily tone-deaf.

The studio also announced it would be adding an AI disclosure to Rideshare Stimulator in response to the public backlash.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Launches Strong, but PC Woes May Have Cost 500K Sales

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has had a remarkably solid debut for a fighting game, selling nearly 485,000 copies in its first week across PC and PS5. According to industry analysts cited by GamesRadar, those numbers could have been "closer to 1M" if not for a troubled PC port that landed the game a Mixed rating on Steam. For a genre often described as niche, clearing half a million units in seven days is a genuine achievement, but the gap between actual and potential sales is hard to ignore.
