Kennedy in Resident Evil Requiem, discussed creating their characters and the fan reaction since launch.

Bloomberg reports that Epic Games has told developers to adopt AI-first development on an unannounced shooter made with Disney, with no more handwritten code and all art generated through full AI workflows using tools such as Anthropic's Claude, while humans manage and guide the work. The title is said to feature Marvel and Star Wars characters and to have progressed slower than expected, partly because Epic underestimated the staff needed, and the internal message reportedly surprised some developers last week. An Epic spokesperson said the company is embracing AI-accelerated development, and CEO Tim Sweeney said Epic has a huge pivot underway to retool developers for maximum AI acceleration, aiming to build more and better content rather than do the same work with fewer people.

SEGA has announced a Season 2 for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds featuring Final Fantasy 7, Evangelion, and Godzilla content, but existing owners must buy a new Season Pass priced at $29.99/£24.99. Fans discovered an old X post from 8th June, 2025 stating "all future paid DLC" would be included with the Digital Deluxe Edition, and have since branded the publisher "stupid liars."

At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard announced that Heroes of the Storm is resuming active development with its first new hero in six years, Xal'atath, alongside World of Warcraft: Forever, Diablo 5, and an open world StarCraft shooter. Warcraft 3: Reforged also received a new full-length DLC campaign, Forsaken Kingdom, priced at $30. The article argues these moves show Blizzard still wants to honor its legacy communities, but Diablo 3 remains without new content, so the "old Blizzard" may never truly return.
Indie developer Miss Self Destruct revealed a new trailer for Hell Is Other People during the inaugural Cozy After Dark Showcase. The Steam psychological horror game about social anxiety has players collect social skills instead of items and manage shifting emotions like Guilt and paranoia.
Sundew Studios showcased Tearoom of Terror, a cozy gothic murder mystery, during the Cozy After Dark Showcase. Players run a Victorian tea parlor serving lavender teas and scones to strange customers while being the primary suspect in their aunt's murder. A demo is available now on Steam.
The author attended the final closed-door pre-release playtest of Phantom Blade Zero in Beijing, spending about six hours with the complete first chapter and two bosses from later chapters. He also spoke with producer Liang Qiwei and found that the sub-weapon system gives the 3D action game a clear Metroidvania feel, such as using the Giant Axe to break village chains or the Chain Scythe to grapple to high anchors. The game is currently listed with 55 weapons, 30 main and 25 sub.
Needle Shadow Tailor Dream is a management sim built around sewing, having players measure, pick fabric, draft patterns and run a tailor shop much like real garment work. It drew 200,000 wishlists before launch and now has over 10,000 reviews with a 98% positive rate. The author found the pace slow, with money for fabric as the only pressure, forgiving sewing checks and a photo mode for sharing finished dresses.
The Sekiro anime Sekiro: No Defeat opened in Japan to poor reception, scoring just 2.2/5 on eiga.com, while the Resident Evil film Resident Evil: Night of the Outbreak earned 95% critic and 91% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes and the franchise's best North American opening. The Sekiro adaptation retells the game's story from the protagonist's view but cuts major plotlines and sidelines bosses, whereas the Resident Evil film follows a new ordinary medical delivery worker during the night the virus breaks out in Raccoon City.
Bo Caisheng, the composer behind Shadow Blade Zero, discussed the game's music in an interview at a closed-door playtest. The soundtrack features a clear main theme, classic melodies from the Rain Blood and Shadow Blade series, and newly rearranged tracks. Bo said hard cuts in the music basically won't happen, as he designs transitions himself based on gameplay footage.
Douyin game streamer "关于小熊Joseph" has built 400,000 followers with no-hit, highest-difficulty playthroughs of titles like Marvel's Wolverine and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and won a "Douyin Selected New Creator" award at the platform's annual creator conference this September. He adds narrative commentary during cutscenes so non-gamers can follow the story, and chooses games he personally cares about rather than chasing only trending titles.
On October 10, Cloud Imperium Games released a new trailer for Squadron 42, the single-player portion of Star Citizen, and opened its Steam store page with wishlisting for the first time. The trailer shows the Vanduul alien invasion, the player joining Squadron 42 as a UEE Navy recruit, and first-person platforming, puzzles, and ship customization. The game began as part of Star Citizen's 2012 crowdfunding goals, has slipped repeatedly, and in August its release window was pushed to the second quarter of 2027 to avoid GTA6.
Anonymous hacker CyberLeek said in an October 10 post that a full GTA 6 build with the complete story mode and end credits would be released if the $CYBERLEEK token reaches a $30 million market cap; it currently sits around $2.4 million, about 8% of that goal. The leaker also demanded Take-Two release a real physical disc and apologize publicly, while Rockstar's support page states the announced boxed version contains only a download code. CyberLeek has framed earlier demands around consumer rights but has also promoted the token, and on August 27 a wallet linked to the leaker withdrew fees from the token pool and sold tokens for over $200,000, after which the price fell about 40%. No one has verified whether the leaker holds the full game, and Take-Two is still tracing the source of the leaks.

She reiterated Xbox's ambition to turn its biggest franchises, including Fallout, Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, into billion-dollar global brands while stressing the need for new IP and new audiences. She also reportedly hinted at further studio restructuring, after plans to move franchises such as Halo and Sea of Thieves under Activision, though no additional changes were specified.

Horii said that unlike when he made The Portopia Serial Murder Case by himself, he can now create a decent game alone through AI instructions even without drawing or programming skills. The 72-year-old designer, who has said he intends to bring generative AI into his future games, shared the prototype on X.
