    After a six-hour closed-door demo, I saw another side of Phantom Blade Zero

    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.

    Resident Evil: Night of the Outbreak and Sekiro: No Defeat — Why Two Game Adaptations Went to Opposite Extremes

    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.

    GTA 6 leaker says full game goes public if token hits $30 million, demands Rockstar ship a physical disc

    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.

    Norsfell unveils Aftergods at 3i Plan, recasting survival as god-like play

    Canadian studio Norsfell announced its new game Aftergods during the 3i Plan indie showcase in the early hours of October 9, positioning it as a top-down light survival-building ARPG where players act as gods who summon storms to harvest forests, call down temples and recruit followers to run their home. Its previous game Tribes of Midgard reached 5 million players worldwide over five years, and the new title expands to mythologies from multiple countries, including Chinese myth. Norsfell calls the approach Survivalite and aims it at players who like mythic worlds but find traditional survival games too harsh.

    Circana analyst calls US hardware market most precarious since the early 80s after Xbox and PS5 sales slumps

    Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said Xbox hardware unit sales fell 33% year over year through August 2026, while PlayStation sales dropped 25%, putting Xbox at an all-time US year-to-date low and PlayStation at its lowest since 2013. The average price paid for an Xbox console in 2026 is 26% higher than in 2025 and PlayStation 20% higher, both all-time highs that he attributes mainly to a component crisis. Piscatella said the US hardware market has not been in a more precarious position since the early 80s, and the piece notes the 1983 market crash and the later recovery led by the NES.

    Digital Foundry Delivers Its Technical Analysis of Dragon's Dogma 2 on Switch 2

    Digital Foundry's technical analysis of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on Switch 2 finds the port arrives in "surprisingly good shape," with visuals that even surpass Xbox Series S in some areas and DLSS outputting 1080p docked and 720p handheld. However, none of the game's three graphics modes offers a frame rate experience DF can recommend, citing poor frame pacing at 30fps, VRR issues undocked, and worse input latency in the frame-generation mode. DF still credits Capcom for squeezing such a demanding open-world RPG onto Switch 2 hardware.
