More GTA 6 leaks are spilling out despite Rockstar's efforts, and one of the bigger ones seems to involve Jason's nudity. The video has been taken down, and if these reports represent the full release, the nudity sounds pointless and outdated.

'Second and third wave' of Silent Hill games are already being considered, says series producer Motoi Okamoto:
Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is a great expansion that adds the new Norgan region with more loot, beasts, and stories, but its changes dilute what made the base game unique. The author notes that the Eternal Ferrystone and portcrystals across Norgan reduce how often you travel on foot, though you must still reach each one first to activate it. Those changes aim to make the experience more approachable, yet they also shift Dragon's Dogma 2 in a different direction.
Bokeh Game Studio is hiring motion capture performers for several characters in its still-untitled game, and the number of people sought suggests the project will feature a lot of characters. The casting sheet lists drug-related elements such as trafficking and substance abuse, along with sex-related work, "fully clothed intimacy," and other mature themes. It sounds like another original IP.
EA and Full Circle issued a statement on mods for the early access game skate., saying they support player creativity but oppose tools that bypass their systems to unlock paid cosmetics, release gated content, or profit from unauthorized assets.

ReSkate's developers told PC Gamer they were not trying to replace the live game, and its official channels do not allow mods that freely grant premium cosmetics.

Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said Xbox and PS5 price hikes have hit sales hard, with US Xbox hardware units down 33% year on year and PlayStation hardware units down 25%, marking an all-time low for Xbox and PlayStation's lowest point since 2013.

In Control Resonant, a recurring miniboss called the Hiss Transporter is a vertically floating city bus front that glows red, slams the ground with shockwaves, and spawns waves of Hiss Passengers fused with bus seats. Players must clear the Passengers exposed on both sides before destroying the Transporter in an explosion. It is another example of developer Remedy Entertainment turning ordinary objects into fantastical threats, continuing the Altered Items and Objects of Power concept from the first Control.

Level up the Marvel Rivals Season 10 battle pass to get new avatars for Jeff, Rogue, and Venom: https://play.st/4jdLaoS
A Polygon writer wants to return to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for its free Remastered update and next year's Songs of the Past expansion, but can't decide which of his many saves to resume. His options include a PlayStation save stuck mid-Blood and Wine, a four-year-old Steam Death March save parked before a boss, and several earlier runs. Because the Remastered update reworks combat and skill trees, every save except a fresh one refunds skill points and requires rebuilding the character, so he leans toward starting Blood and Wine with a premade character.
A new ongoing D&D comic series starring Baldur's Gate 3's fan-favorite vampire spawn Astarion was announced at New York Comic Con. The character previously got a prequel novel written by T. Kingfisher, aka Ursula Vernon.

EA and Dice announced a Dead Space crossover event for Battlefield 6 set in Area 51, where players can unlock unique cosmetics from October 20 to November 7.

REDSEC adds Rapid Royale, a faster battle royale with fewer players where kills generate money for respawning.
Wardogs Season 2 launches on October 15 and adds a gambling system that lets players bet on their own performance. The mechanic, called the Wager Vendor, lets players set conditions such as kill counts, with harder conditions raising the odds and paying out more or costing cash on failure. Developer Bulkhead's co-founder Howard Philpott said the feature will not be available immediately at launch, as players must build up cash to unlock it.
Wardogs developer Bulkhead detailed how rain will change gameplay in Season 2, which launches on October 15. Rain is not dynamic weather, so matches with rain have rainfall from start to finish, and senior producer Kane Allard told IGN it "completely changes the game," which some players may not like. Rain darkens the map and worsens visibility, thunder can mask gunfire and other loud noises, raindrops sound different on surfaces such as rooftops and helmets, windows fog up, and players inside are exposed to rain if a roof is destroyed. Bulkhead is not ruling out other weather effects but has to weigh how something like snow would affect gameplay and performance.
Bulkhead co-founder Howard Philpott said bringing Wardogs to PS6 and Xbox Project Helix would be "a straight port," with senior producer Kane Allard adding the studio is already in talks with the platform holders. Wardogs is currently slated for a 2028 console release, while the PC version is in early access and Season 2 launches next week with features such as rain.
Bulkhead, developer of Wardogs, has admitted that the Xbox Series S's limitations have kept certain features out of the game, with CEO Joe Brammer citing it as one reason the game lacks dynamic weather. The rain feature coming this month will persist throughout a match rather than rolling in and clearing mid-game. Co-founder Howard Philpott said Series S also gives the team a baseline that helps optimize performance for lower-spec PCs, and Wardogs Season 2 launches October 15.
