Bulkhead Interactive has quietly disabled Steam Family Sharing for its multiplayer FPS Wardogs, a move that comes amid ongoing community discussions around cheating and anti-cheat measures in the game. The decision removes the ability for players to access the game through a shared library, effectively requiring each player to purchase their own copy.
If you want to work on Wardogs, you had better have the Steam hours to back it up. Bulkhead Interactive boss Joe Brammer has revealed that the studio checks the Steam profiles of every prospective hire to verify that they have a genuine passion for first-person shooters. The reasoning is straightforward: Brammer wants people on the team who actually play and love the genre they are building games in, stating bluntly that he "wouldn't know what we're talking about" if someone without that background were brought on board.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is finally here, and Nintendo's latest entry in the long-running tactical RPG series is shaping up to be a massive undertaking. The game can easily clock in at well over 100 hours, but players who want a more streamlined experience have options. A built-in skip feature allows users to bypass a significant chunk of the game's content, giving veterans and time-pressed players a way to cut down on the sprawl without missing the core experience.

One developer at the studio described the activity as "the craziest numbers I've seen in 17 years working at Blizzard," a remarkable statement that underscores just how much excitement has built around the upcoming title. The beta quickly became overrun with eager players, signaling that WoW: Forever could be shaping up to be one of the biggest launches in the franchise's storied history.
Capcom used a special stage at Tokyo Game Show 2026 to pull back the curtain on Monster Hunter Wilds Ascendance, the upcoming expansion to Monster Hunter Wilds, with one of the series' most iconic and unsettling monsters taking center stage. Khezu, the pale, eyeless wyvern notorious for haunting dark caves and electrifying hunters with shocking attacks, has been confirmed as part of the expansion's monster roster. The reveal gave fans their first proper gameplay glimpse of the creature making its return in Wilds' engine, and reactions have been as dramatic as the monster itself.
Insomniac Games has issued a public clarification confirming that Marvel's Wolverine contains no generative AI assets, after eagle-eyed players spotted some unusual in-game signs that quickly spread across social media. The imagery, which included a bizarrely rendered bathroom sign, prompted widespread speculation that the studio had quietly slipped AI-generated content into the highly anticipated title. The viral moment was enough to put Insomniac on the defensive, with the studio moving swiftly to address the concerns head-on.
Dragami Games has officially announced that a live-action movie adaptation of Lollipop Chainsaw is in the works, bringing fan-favorite zombie-slaying cheerleader Juliet Starling to the big screen.

A massive nearly 200GB leak of Rockstar Games source code and internal files has surfaced online, offering an unprecedented look at what could have been for Grand Theft Auto 5 and what was in store for GTA 6. The leaked data, which appears to originate from the major Rockstar hack of 2023, reportedly contains evidence of a canceled GTA 5 DLC that would have brought back Liberty City as a playable location, alongside a scrapped expansion centered on a character dubbed "Agent Trevor." The provenance of the files is not entirely confirmed, but multiple outlets have corroborated the content circulating across the internet.
Insomniac Games has rolled out a hotfix for its PS5 exclusive Marvel's Wolverine that tones down one of the game's most polarizing features: the scent trail mechanic. Used to visualize Logan's heightened sense of smell, the trails quickly earned the unflattering nickname "fart gas" or "fart cloud" among players and critics alike, who found the visual effect far too garish and immersion-breaking. The update makes the trails "less intense," reducing how blatant and obtrusive they appear during gameplay.
