It seems there's time for one more Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced leak before the game's big reveal — with part of its trailer now circulating online.

The trailer clip shows our first look at in-game footage, featuring pirate hero Edward Kenway, the legendary Blackbeard, ship combat, and lots of explosions. And already, fans have begun lining up the comparisons with the original Black Flag to see how the two versions of the game may compare.

The short snippet shows Edward in his iconic pose, cutlasses drawn, then a scene on deck with Blackbeard and his telescope. There's a quick shot of Adéwalé mustering the crew to load the Jackdaw's cannons, before Edward takes the wheel and ship-to-ship combat begins. Kenway's original voice actor Matt Ryan can be heard too, following hints from the actor himself that he had returned to the role.

A shot featuring Edward and Blackbeard is now being pored over by fans, who have noted Resynced's vastly improved character models and lighting. Which, to be honest, you would expect considering that the original Black Flag launched back in 2013.

"At least graphically Black Flag Resynced looks really faithful," wrote one fan on social media. "I fear I'm getting excited." Said another: "It doesn't seem like a simple remaster either. It looks like we're getting a pretty decent, fun remake."

Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that it would fully reveal Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced this week, following years of leaks. The publisher even poked fun at itself by naming the project as the "worst kept secret" in video games — something that only continues to be true.

The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Worldwide Reveal Showcase will be available to watch this Thursday, April 23 at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm UK time. Tune in then for the full reveal — and all the details here on IGN.

We now have our hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, a new console from one of the biggest names in gaming. Alas, a new console is only as valuable as the library of games you can build on it.

Thankfully, Nintendo hasn't been shy about planned releases over the next year, which include a mix of Switch 2 exclusives, third-party releases, and the benefit of backward compatibility with any games still launching on the original Switch. Without further ado, here are all of the new Switch 2 games we can look forward to in 2026.

All Upcoming Switch 2 Games With Release Dates

Outbound (April 23, 2026)

Outbound is a new cozy game that will be released simultaneously on Switch 2 and PC. The game hands you a camper van and an open world to explore with it, all while supporting up to four players in co-op. There’s also pets, and a whole lot of customization you can learn more about in our hands-on preview.
Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth (April 27, 2026)

Inspired by the Moomin stories created by Tove Jansson, this game has you join Moomintroll on a winter journey filled with puzzles and new friends.

MotoGP 26 (April 29, 2026)

For folks who want a little more realism in their racing sim than say Mario Kart World or Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, MotoGP’s got you covered. This year’s release will support full cross-play for playing with friends and introduces new ‘Rider Based Handling’ physics.

Mixtape (May 7, 2026)

The developers at Beethoven & Dinosaur are releasing a new music-inspired game about three friends enjoying their last night together in the 90’s. We got the chance to preview the narrative game about a year ago, saying it’s “a vibes game through-and-through, and Mixtape's vibes are impeccable.”

Call of the Elder Gods (May 12, 2026)

A sequel to 2020’s Call of the Sea, which we called “an excellent, poignant adventure” in our 9/10 review. Developer Out of the Blue has been marketing the new game as “a Lovecraftian narrative puzzle adventure,” and I think that sounds pretty darn enticing.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (May 12, 2026)

Set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, this MachineGames adventure game places Indy on a quest for the secret of the Great Circle. Travel the world, from the Great Pyramids to sunken temples, infiltrate historic areas, and beat up baddies during your daring escapes. We had a lot of love for this one when it originally launched on consoles and PC, calling it “far and away the best Indy story this century” in our 9/10 review.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (May 21, 2026)*

The most recent first-party Nintendo game to get a firm release date, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will be releasing exclusively on the Switch 2 this May. It’s the first Yoshi game since Yoshi’s Crafted World in 2019, and gameplay shown during its initial reveal hinted at some familiar mechanics. Before we get our hands on that, however, we’ll be seeing Yoshi voiced by Donald Glover in the Super Mario Galaxy movie.

Bubsy 4D (May 22, 2026)

We’re getting our first 3D Bubsy game in almost 30 years. Well, 4D. The platformer introduces some new moves to the usual roster, and will feature a spread of levels across three planets, which you can learn more about in our preview. The game will also immediately support online leaderboards for speedrunning.

007 First Light (May 27, 2026)

Yet another massive multi-platform release, IO Interactive's take on James Bond is launching on Switch 2 alongside PC, PS5, and Xbox in late May. The game lets you play out Bond's initial recruitment and rise in the MI6 ranks, featuring Patrick Gibson as the titular spy and Lenny Kravitz as the villain Bawma.

Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen (May 28, 2026)

The latest game based on the children’s hit Bluey is making its way to Switch 2 this May. The game originally released on iOS this past December, and is pitched as an adventure game where you help the Heeler family retrieve Bluey’s Gold Pen from inside her drawings.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (June 3, 2026)

The second part of the Final Fantasy VII revamp is coming to Switch 2 consoles this summer. After escaping the city of Midgar, Cloud and co. must traverse across a massive beautiful world in pursuit of Sephiroth. IGN’s 9/10 review describes the game as “both a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenge and depth, and as an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.”

Besides the graphics update, Rebirth introduces a new affinity system with allies and, yes, a ridiculous amount of side quests and mini-games.

Denshattack! (June 17, 2026)

Instead of trying to explain this one myself, I’m simply going to borrow from my colleague Rebekah Valentine’s interview with the developer: “Denshattack! Is Tony Hawk With Japanese Trains, for Train-Lovers, by Train-Lovers.” Yes, it’s awesome.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millenium Tales (June 18, 2026)

The Adventures of Elliot is a new HD-2D RPG from the creators of Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default. While exploring ruins near his hometown, Elliot discovers an artifact that lets him traverse space and time. From there, you must travel across four ages, each with unique citizens and scenery, to try and save your home.

Ubisoft has confirmed when it will officially unveil Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, via a dedicated showcase later this week.

The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Worldwide Reveal Showcase will be available to watch this Thursday, April 23 at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm UK time. Ubisoft is even having a bit of fun here, and branding the event as the full reveal for "gaming's worst kept secret."

Assassin's Creed fans will be able to tune in via YouTube at that point and see exactly what Ubisoft has in store for this freshened up version of its beloved pirate game. Already, however, today's announcement offers up one clue: Ubisoft is calling Black Flag Resynced "the iconic solo pirate adventure" — suggesting that the game's multiplayer mode is no longer included.

The project's official name, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, was first spotted last December, when it popped up via a European ratings board listing. But fans have been following the project's development for years, following internal leaks that pointed to the project's existence and hints from the original game's lead actor, who is expected to return.

Previous reports have suggested that Black Flag Resynced will be a substantial remake of the series' beloved piratical entry, with visual and gameplay upgrades that see the game closer in quality to last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows. New story content will reportedly be added to flesh out more of hero Edward Kenway's life, though the game's modern day gameplay sections have apparently been excised — something that many fans aren't happy about.

Tune in later this week for the full reveal — and all the details here on IGN.

As players beat each other senseless — uh, in-game, of course — during last weekend's Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, Bandai Namco pulled back the cover on what Dragon Ball fans can expect from the franchise over the next 12 months or so, including confirmation of the final DLC pack for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and the formal unveiling Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3.

Missed it? No sweat. Here's everything that was announced during the livestream…

Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol

If you're looking for the details, I'm sorry to say there aren't any — all we really got was the name! — but we're told Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol will seemingly adapt the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc from the manga, and the Universe Survival arc from the anime (thanks, Polygon).

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus

The upcoming enhanced edition of the anime Dragon Ball Super: Beerus got a new Super Gekitou teaser during the Dragon Ball Super Special Panel, giving fans an "early look at the upgraded visual presentation and the intense battle between Son Goku and the God of Destruction Beerus." The trailer also teases another powerful threat on the horizon with the return of Frieza.

We were also treated to a panel boasting Masako Nozawa (voice of Son Goku), Koichi Yamadera (voice of Beerus), Jason Douglas (English dub voice of Beerus), and Akio Iyoku, executive producer of the Dragon Ball franchise,

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3

Bandai Namco had already teased that it was coming, but now it's confirmed — Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X in 2027. Described as a "completely new Dragon Ball world by Akira Toriyama," Xenoverse 3 "continues the series' legacy with a completely new Dragon Ball experience, where players choose the hero they want to become in an unexplored Dragon Ball world brought to life by the original author."

Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Fusion World and Game Game Masters

The Impact Beyond Dimensions booster pack is set to launch in July, and Story Booster 01 — which boasts 12 new cards across 85 card types — will release on August 21. The Chromatic Ascension booster pack will release towards the end of the year.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Super Limit Breaking Neo

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Super Limit-Breaking Neo DLC, which introduces new characters — Vegeta (GT) and Trunks (GT) are making their first appearance in the Budokai Tenkaichi series — stages, and an all-new game mode, will drop in Summer 2026. The update also includes a new costume and Super Attack for Goku (Z - End) and a new solo mode to allow players to select unlocked characters and receive EXP through "battle and events to empower their favorite characters and push them to even greater heights."

The "major expansion" will reportedly "answer community expectations and elevate the experience to new heights" with "massive" new content additions marking "the most ambitious evolution of the game to date." There'll also be a free update introducing a new battle system, too.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2: Future Saga Chapter 4

Although it was only a couple of minutes long, we did get a peek at the final DLC pack for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 — Future Saga Chapter 4. It's set to launch in Summer 2026 (or Q3, if you're down under).

Future Saga Pack is "set to a dramatic close, reflecting on everything players have fought for, protecting history, shaping the future, and facing god-level power in a climactic final battle," Bandai Namco teased.

Interestingly, we also learned that a number of Dragon Ball-flavored mobile games like Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, Dragon Ball Legends, and Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra will each get their own collab with Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as we mark the game's final update, including hero skins and emotes based on Xenoverse 2 will be added to the game. Squadra will also host its own world championship tourney later this year, with winners from each server across the world invited to Japan to compete.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

While there was no mention of Dragon Ball FighterZ during Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 itself, publisher Bandai Namco did separately confirm that we'll get the next DLC character, Goku (SS4, DAIMA), for the fighting game on April 22. Players will be able to "deflect every blow and unleash a relentless offense with Wild Dash, a move that can further branch into four other techniques, including Double Combination, Raging Strike, Power Swing and Quick Move."

UPDATE: Resident Evil's Generation Pack for Switch 2 is going in and out of stock on Amazon. It is worth adding to your wishlist and purchasing as soon as it becomes available. Check back in every day, either here or via Amazon, for further updates.

After a long period of being out of stock online, the Resident Evil Generation Pack on Nintendo Switch 2 is available once again at Amazon (see it here). It's one of the best deals out there right now for all three games, so I'd snap it up fast.

If you’ve had your eyes on this stacked horror collection for Nintendo’s latest handheld, which was released in celebration of Resident Evil’s 30th Anniversary, it’s now available to buy at Amazon for $89.99. You’ll want to act fast to grab it, though, as who knows how much longer it will be available at the retailer.

Alongside the recently released Resident Evil Requiem - a game we said, “successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation” in our review - this pack also comes with Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition.

For Resident Evil 7’s Gold Edition, you’ll get the base game alongside the “Not a Hero” chapter and all other DLC. It’s a similar case for Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which also comes with the Winters’ Expansion and the Trauma Pack to have along with the base game, so there’s plenty to keep you busy.

It’s worth mentioning that all of these games are ones we think very highly of, too. Resident Evil Requiem landed with a 9/10 score in its review this year, while Village earned an 8/10 and Resident Evil 7 biohazard earned a 7.7/10 in their respective reviews.

We called Village "a genuinely engrossing and increasingly combat-heavy continuation of the Ethan Winters story", while Biohazard is one we said is "a fresh take on the Resident Evil series that fondly recalls the classics even as it takes a bold new direction" when it released back in 2017.

Personally, I’m a very big fan of all three of these Resident Evil games, and being able to take this terrifying trio with you on-the-go to play on Switch 2 is a fun way to experience them. Again, this collection may not be in stock for long at Amazon, so it’s worth it to pick it up now in case it sells out again.

Bandai Namco has announced Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.

The announcement arrived alongside the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 event in Los Angeles today and comes with a first official trailer for the anime action-RPG follow-up. It’s news that came as a shock to fans and arrived as official confirmation that a follow-up is finally on the way after Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 launched in 2016, almost 10 years ago.

Doubling the surprise is the fact that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 was technically already revealed by Bandai Namco earlier this year as what was previously called Age 1000. That title now serves as the name of the new world in which the game is set, with the trailer showing off some of what it has to offer.

"As revealed in the announcement trailer for DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3, players will get to explore and uncover exciting new stories in West City, the vibrant new world set in AGE 1000," an official description said. "Guided into the ranks of the Great Saiyan Squad, you’ll fight alongside allies as events there begin to take shape.

"The game combines an epic story-driven RPG experience that will take DRAGON BALL fans on an unforgettable, action-packed journey into this new universe and its cast of characters."

Bandai Namco says there will be more to share about Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 "in the months to come." While we wait to see how it will expand on the work of the late Akira Toriyama, you can check out our 7.5/10 review of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. At the time, we called it "an ambitious, if rough-edged experience, with deceptively deep RPG and brawling elements."

How to Redeem Dress to Impress Codes

Follow the steps below to redeem Dress to Impress codes and claim free rewards in DTI:

1. Open the Dress to Impress Roblox Experience.
2. Click on the handbag icon on the left-hand side to open the DTI Codes menu.
3. Enter your code in the "Type here..." field.
4. Check for any spelling mistakes or errors.
5. Click the checkmark icon to redeem the code.

Why Isn't My Dress to Impress Code Working?

If the code you're trying to redeem in DTI isn't working, it's likely because of one of two reasons:

• The Dress to Impress code is expired
• There's a spelling mistake in the code

When inputting a DTI code in Roblox, make sure it's spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn't a lowercase l, 0 and not O, and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We'd recommend copying and pasting codes straight from our article to ensure they're correct as we've tested and verified that the codes on this page are working ourselves.

If your DTI code still isn't working after checking for typos, it's more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed in Dress to Impress.

How to Get More DTI Codes

To get more Dress to Impress codes, the best way is to join the official DTI Discord server. While we check for new codes daily, the quickest way to know about new Dress to Impress codes is to follow the Roblox experience's official Discord server where updates are posted in real time.

You can also check the Dress to Impress X account and the official DTI Roblox Group page.

Are There Any Upcoming DTI Codes?

We currently don't know of any upcoming DTI codes now that the Katseye collab code has been released. We'll update this article once we find out more information on new Dress to Impress codes.

The BAFTA Games Awards 2026 saw big wins for Dispatch, Ghost of Yōtei, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. But there were some surprises in there, too - in true BAFTA style. Ghost of Yōtei winning best music over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, for example, came as something of a shock. Daredevil star Charlie Cox didn't get the chance to big up the Fench motion capture performer behind Clair Obscur's Gustave (something he almost certainly would have done had he won best performer in a supporting role). That went to Jeffrey Wright, who played Chase in Dispatch. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lost out to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II in the best narrative category, and to Microsoft's South of Midnight in the New Intellectual Property category, too.

Sandfall Interactive won't be too down, however; the French studio won best Debut Game, and Jennifer English, fresh from her big The Game Awards 2025 win, continued her run by taking home the best Performer in a Leading Role award for her performance as Maelle in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And, of course, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won the biggest award of the night: Best Game. I'm not sure there was ever going to be another winner.

Elsewhere, Rebellion's Atomfall won British Game, Hello Games' No Man's Sky won Evolving Game, and Embark's Arc Raiders won Multiplayer.

There have been hundreds of ways you could fight dragons in Skyrim, but have you ever tried engaging them in the marketplace of ideas? Well, a bizarre mod will finally let you do just that.

This is far from the first wild mod to be made for Skyrim, which has basically built its entire legacy on its modding scene. But, still, every now and then a mod comes out that completely boggles the mind. Skyrim modder BlurbsTV just made like six of them, and turned them all on at once.

As spotted by GamesRadar+, Blurbs asked his Twitch chat to give him a bunch of unhinged ideas for mods, and just made them. Dragon shouts shooting chickens everywhere, a self-replicating Nazeem, randomly spawning Khajiit that make you ragdoll, and of course, the ability to debate dragons on Tamriel geopolitics and memes. Exactly what I want out of a modded install in 2026.

I modded Skyrim so you can only defeat dragons by debating them on the geopolitics of Tamriel.

Unfortunately, Twitch chat forgot the geopolitics part almost immediately... pic.twitter.com/Ad6Grw87ZR

— Blurbs (@Blurbstv) April 15, 2026

The debates with the dragons take the place of combat: a dragon will spawn and then a text-to-speech bot will ask a question. In classic debate style, the Dragonborn gets 20 seconds to respond, with the dragon getting time to issue a rebuttal. The catch is that chat decides who won the debate, which goes about as well as you'd expect.

In the clip, there was one dragon debate that Blurbs was able to actually win, which involved a question about banning the internet due to Stormcloak propaganda. But, once the debate was over he trips over a randomly spawned Khajiit and flies off the side of a cliff. Incredible.

Unfortunately, none of these mods are available on Nexus Mods or the Steam Workshop, so you can't download them yourself, but BlurbsTV's video is absolutely worth watching for a laugh. If for nothing else, it'll remind you just how weird Skyrim can still get, 15 years and more than a dozen releases later.

One of the most challenging parts of playing a new game is knowing whether or not the endgame experience will have the legs to sustain itself when measured in months instead of days. I fell prey to this particular pitfall myself after Diablo 4’s vanilla debut in 2023, when I said some things about the endgame experience that I later regretted. Sometimes an endgame experience seems like it’s great in the moment, then a couple weeks roll by and that content begins to feel thin, repetitive, or not nearly as fleshed out as you originally thought (again, my bad). I’ve generally really enjoyed the endgame activities Diablo IV has had so far, whether it’s the tree of whispers bounties from the base game or the super unique raid-like activity from Vessel of Hatred. But Diablo 4 is a game that practically begs you to play it every waking moment of your life, and each version of the endgame so far has failed to remain compelling more than a few weeks after launch, largely due to the fact that each iteration has directed you to a small number of activities that, while fun, just weren’t enough.

It’s with all this in mind that I approached the endgame of Diablo 4’s upcoming expansion, Lord of Hatred. Could Blizzard finally give us an endgame that was not only fun at launch, but also offered enough variety to keep folks engaged in the long term? After playing a few hours of it recently and talking to the developers about what they’re building, I can confirm that Blizzard appears to have received the feedback in this area, and has created an endgame structure that, at the very least, has a much better chance of keeping my attention.

After you’ve finished going to war with the Lord of Hatred himself, the main way you’ll grind for all that delicious loot is through War Plans, a structured playlist that points you to various endgame activities and removes the barriers to entry those activities might normally have. Maybe you’ll spend some time looting a Helltide event before teleporting over to a Nightmare Dungeon to find and kill the boss, then rounding it out with a trip to the good ol’ Pit for some time trial action. The specific nature of the activities you play are determined by a branching tree where you can pick from a few options before teleporting to each activity to take it down, and with six options pulled from the existing endgame activities in Diablo 4, there’s quite a bit of variety baked in.

The best part of War Plans is how quickly it gets you into the action from activity to activity. You no longer have to hunt for Nightmare Dungeon keys or figure out where on the map a Helltide is going on – once you complete one activity, you just teleport straight on over to the next activity and keep slaying. It also means that you spend less time figuring out which activity to focus on, or if you’re new or haven’t played in a while, what even are the endgame activities you’re supposed to be funnelled into if you want to continue your loot and leveling climb. This all made working my way through each new branching checklist fast, quick, rewarding, and a lot more replayable than focusing on a single activity like an uber boss or the raid from Vessel of Hatred.

Another new part of War Plans are the upgradable trees that come along with each activity, from the Tree of Whispers to Infernal Hordes, which customize each of those events, either by modifying a specific behavior within it, or allowing you to control the type of rewards you’ll earn from them. For example, in the Nightmare Dungeons tree, you can buy a perk that guarantees treasure goblins will drop a specific kind of loot when killed and in the Helltide tree, you can buy a perk that will double the rate at which your kills increase the threat level when affected by a shrine. You won’t be able to earn enough points to buy all the perks, and some are pretty explicitly mutually exclusive anyway, which means you’ll need to pick and choose which to buy depending on how you want to play and how you want to be rewarded for all your hard work.

Beyond War Plans, I also tried out the new horde mode called Echoing Hatred, where you’re thrown into an extremely challenging mode that goes on until you drop dead, offering loot equal to your level of success. This unending arena starts off at the lowest difficulty tier and ups the ante every time you’ve wiped the floor with enough enemies, throwing a boss or two every now and then and eventually a whole bunch of them at the same time. Not only must you survive, but you’re also required to continuously score kills, as the “Overwhelmed” meter fills up every time a new enemy spawns and if you don’t cut them down to size quickly, that meter will put an abrupt end to your run.

Obviously the main draw of this mode is how mindlessly straightforward it is, allowing you to simply push your build as far as it can go and engage in nonstop action for as long as you can possibly keep standing. The fact that it offers rewards equal to your effort and skill is also a pretty efficient way to level. But one of the other really cool things about this mode is that since it’s agnostic to whichever world tier you’re currently in and moves you through them as you progress, it’s an awesome way to test if you’re ready for the next world tier. After all, if you can make it through this constant onslaught in the tier after the one you’re currently playing in, it’s a pretty good sign you’re probably ready to advance to the next bracket. This is especially important since Lord of Hatred is going from a maximum world tier of Torment 4 to Torment 12, which is honestly pretty insane. With so many difficulty options to choose from, this mode feels like the perfect way to figure out where you stand with your current build.

One thing I didn’t get a chance to get a feel for in my time with Lord of Hatred’s endgame is how it feels when played with friends, as all of my time during the demo was spent solo. I’ve got some questions about how it’ll feel, specifically activities like War Plans, where your specific playlist of things to do is unlikely to match up with the other members of your crew perfectly. I was told that friends would still receive credit (and of course the rewards) for running War Plans together, but I’m curious if it might feel like being a second or third wheel when following the party leader around. I prefer to play Diablo 4 with my fellow Wanderers, so this will be a pretty important piece of the puzzle that I haven’t seen firsthand just yet.

It would be downright irresponsible of me to omit the most serious addition to the endgame coming with Lord of Hatred: fishing. Call me crazy, but an activity most common in cozy games somehow feels right at home in Diablo 4, and I spent a good chunk of time with my fishing pole visiting each region in search of fresh pools of water or lava to find new gilled friends. Seriously though, this addition is pretty much just a bit, and from my limited experience didn’t seem like there was a lot to it, with only a few different fish to find in each zone that came to me quite quickly, but still, it’s pretty amusing that they added this and I’m all for it. I do wish they’d have made the minigame for catching fish something a bit more engaging than just tapping a single button once the fish bites onto the hook, but hey, this is Diablo – I’m not expecting them to go full Animal Crossing here.

After a few hours with Lord of Hatred’s endgame, I’m more optimistic than ever that the new War Plan system will be a format that goes the distance and keeps me engaged at least a bit longer than past iterations. And anything that gives me more excuses to keep dungeon delving in this awesome ARPG sounds alright by me.

Developer 3DClouds has announced it has partnered with the FIA Formula E World Championship for a fully licensed expansion for its 2025 racer Formula Legends.

The Formula E: Electric Evolution expansion will arrive on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms on April 30, 2026, with Nintendo platforms arriving at an unspecified later date. The expansion will feature all the manufacturers, drivers, and teams, plus six real-world tracks from the official Formula E series (Berlin, Tokyo, London, São Paulo, Miami, and Shanghai).

In sync with Formula Legends’ established approach to its representation of racing over multiple eras, it will also feature GEN1, GEN2, and GEN3 cars.

“To have a series as prestigious and entertaining as the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in our racing game Formula Legends is truly extraordinary,” said 3DClouds CEO Francesco Bruschi in a statement provided alongside the announcement. “Formula E has been a fantastic partner for us and incorporating drivers, teams, tracks, cars, branding from this series and even its iconic theme has been a joy from start to finish. We hope players will enjoy our efforts bringing this unique motorsport series to life in our game.”

IGN’s review of Formula Legends called it an “earnest and consistently charming unlicensed homage to seven decades of F1 racing that’s one part Art of Rally and one part Micro Machines.”

In March, Ubisoft released the first piece of concept art for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, confirming the existence of the remake of the beloved pirate installment of the series, and today we have a release date, July 9. The date was reported by Insider Gaming but hasn't been confirmed by Ubisoft as yet.

In a (now deleted) March blog post from Ubisoft's Jean Guesdon, Head of Content did hint at the rumors of the remake. "Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon. 🦜"

The project's official name, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, was seen in December, when it popped up via a European PEGI ratings board listing. That sighting followed a few hints from the original game's lead actor.

"Players can be excited about some remakes,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in June 2024, “which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them; there are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich.”

James Bond video game 007: First Light will feature a main title theme sung by Lana Del Rey, publisher IO Interactive has announced.

Bond fans have long suspected Del Rey is behind 007: First Light's title track — ever since she registered a fresh song titled "First Light" to the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) database late last year. Del Rey had used her real name, Elizabeth Grant, for the registration — but internet sleuths quickly connected the dots.

Now, the track is live on Del Rey's YouTube channel — and it sounds a fitting Bond song, while also playfully referencing the fact First Light is a video game (and perhaps also Del Rey's own iconic tune, Video Games). Veteran Bond composer David Arnold (who scored five Bond films, from Tomorrow Never Dies to Quantum of Solace) is behind its score.

"Can't say I'm surprised to see you running toward the sun," Del Rey sings. "It's the first light of day... Ah, you're ready? All the fates just watch you, dying just to know whether you'll play your life like a game."

The track is a fitting addition to the franchise for Del Rey — who previously recorded her 2005 track "24" to feature in Daniel Craig movie Spectre, the franchise's 24th film, only for Sam Smith's "Writing's On the Wall" to ultimately be chosen in its place instead.

007: First Light has suffered a string of leaks over the past few months, and perhaps most notably this week, when the game's ending was accidentally made available publicly due to a major slip-up by the Indonesian ratings board. With just six weeks still to go until the game's launch, IO has been keen to keep much about the game under wraps to avoid spoiling narrative surprises.

The long-awaited next game from the developer of Hitman, 007: First Light features a starry cast and big ambitions to kickstart a fresh James Bond game trilogy. While its story remains largely secret, we know it'll feature a fresh-faced incarnation of Bond played by Dexter: Original Sin star Patrick Gibson, in a new origin story that features The Eternals' Gemma Chan, The Walking Dead's Lennie James, and The Hunger Games' Lenny Kravitz.

Following an earlier delay, 007: First Light is now set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 27. A Switch 2 version is also set to follow — though not until "later this summer."

Of course, Del Rey isn't the only music mogul involved with the project. Singer and actor Lenny Kravitz will star in the game as Bawma, a villain who at one point hangs poor Bond upside down and threatens to feed him to a pair of waiting crocodiles.

Take a look at an in-game cutscene featuring Lilith from Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, the upcoming second expansion for Blizzard's popular action-RPG, in the video above. Lord of Hatred is our IGN First "cover story" for April, as we're dedicating time throughout the month to spotlighting different exclusive pieces of Lord of Hatred coverage.

This newly revealed in-game cutscene will obviously fit within the story when you have the full Lord of Hatred expansion in front of you, but in the meantime you can take a look at it and get a sense of what's happening (or going to happen) surrounding Lilith's return.

If you've missed any of our Lord of Hatred coverage so far, check out our narrative deep dive above as well as 21 minutes of gameplay from the new Skovos region, the first 12 minutes of gameplay (including the first boss fight), and another in-game cutscene called "The Queen and the Saint."

Fortnite is adding microphone vocals to its Rock Band-like Festival mode, just in time for a new season featuring jazz pop star Laufey.

The Madwoman singer will arrive in Fortnite tomorrow, April 16, at the start of the next Fortnite Festival season. Gameplay additions also arriving tomorrow will add the ability to sing along to any of the mode's many tracks using a compatible microphone on PC and console.

That same update also adds a Pro Drums option, allowing you to plug in a Rock Band 4 or compatible MIDI drum kit. And in another helpful tweak, you'll now be able to move while jamming in other Fortnite modes — rather than being locked into place while playing an instrument.

As ever, the new Fortnite Festival season comes with a Music Pass (included in the Fortnite Crew subscription) that'll include a Laufey skin and Madwoman as a jam track. A separate Laufey skin will also be sold via Fortnite's shop, alongside two other tracks: Tough Luck and Lover Girl.

Tomorrow's Fortnite update will also finally make the game's original Save the World PVE mode free to all players, and introduce the next story act for the game's main battle royale mode.

It remains a typically busy time for Fortnite and developer Epic Games, which is reportedly developing a major Disney extraction shooter mode for launch later this year, despite mass layoffs that impacted 1,000 employees last month. We subsequently spoke with industry analysts to learn more about what may be troubling the studio.

Marty O'Donnell, the former video game composer known for his work on Halo and Destiny, has seen his latest bid for Congress endorsed by Donald Trump.

Writing on X/Twitter last night, O'Donnell said he was "honored" to have Trump's support, following a social media post by the U.S. president which described the ex-Bungie composer as an "America First Patriot."

O'Donnell's renewed bid to enter politics follows a failed attempt at the same Congressional seat back in 2024, which ended with him landing fourth place in its Republican primary. Long known for his conservative views, O'Donnell previously seemed dissatisfied with Trump, who he reportedly labelled as an "idiot" in a Twitter post back in 2016 and said he "loath[ed]" in 2017.

"I appreciate the trust that the President has put in me and look forward to working with him in Congress to continue delivering for working families and keeping our nation safe," O'Donnell wrote now, confirming that with Trump's support he would continue his plan to try and unseat Nevada's 3rd Congressional District Democrat incumbent Susie Lee.

"Marty O'Donnell is a World-Class Composer and Entrepreneur," Trump declared yesterday. "As your next Congressman, Marty will fight tirelessly to Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment."

"The stakes this midterm could not be higher," O'Donnell continued. "That's why when I started running, I promised I would drop out unless President Trump supported me so that Republicans could avoid wasting resources on a needless primary.

Much like President Trump, I didn’t come from the world of politics. I spent my entire career in the business world. I had the honor of working with some incredible people and composing music for some of the greatest video games of all time."

Collaborating with Michael Salvatori, O'Donnell composed the score of numerous Bungie games, from 1997's Myth to the classic sounds of Halo: Combat Evolved, in a lengthy tenure that ended with his work for 2014's Destiny.

2014 also saw O'Donnell fired from Bungie, resulting in a legal tussle over witheld pay. Bungie later initiated its own legal dispute with O'Donnell in 2021, after the composer uploaded unreleased Destiny music to YouTube.

Recent years have seen O'Donnell demonstrate an increasing interest in politics, after a lengthy period spent establishing his own game development studio, Highwire Games, that worked on VR title Golem back in 2019, and controversial shooter Six Days in Fallujah, which launched in early access form in 2023. O'Donnell's Halo themes will also be heard again later this year with the launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved, which will bring Master Chief's adventures to Xbox, PC and PlayStation.

UPDATE: Sony has now made its PlayStation Plus game catalog additions for April official, confirming today's earlier leak of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, The Crew Motorfest and Football Manager 26 Console.

In addition to this trio, four other games have also now been revealed: action roguelike Warriors: Abyss, indie sandbox shooter Squirrel With a Gun, Dead by Daylight narrative spinoff The Casting of Frank Stone, and deckbuilder Monster Train.

While the above titles are available to both Extra and Premium subscribers, the latter will also get access to Wild Arms 4, the anime-inspired role-player originally launched back in 2005 on PlayStation 2. Sony's now-complete lineup of additions lies below — anything catch your eye?

PlayStation Plus Game Catalog April 2026

Extra/Premium:

• Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5, PS4 gets Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition)
• The Crew Motorfest (PS4, PS5)
• Football Manager 26 Console (PS5)
• Warriors: Abyss (PS4, PS5)
• Squirrel With a Gun (PS5)
• The Casting of Frank Stone (PS5)
• Monster Train (PS5)

Premium:

• Wild Arms 4 (PS4, PS5)

ORIGINAL STORY: Sony's PlayStation Plus games lineup for May 2026 has leaked online, led by Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

Reported by the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs, Sony's next batch of games will also include Ubisoft's The Crew Motorfest and Sports Interactive's Football Manager 26 Console.

If you're yet to play the first Horizon title, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is the shinier PlayStation 5 version of Guerrilla Games' adventure, launched back in 2024. This includes its Frozen Wilds DLC plus various technical options and visual upgrades to make it look more like its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. "Horizon Zero Dawn presents us with a beautiful world full of unforgettable challenges," IGN wrote in its review of the game's original release back in 2017, scoring it highly.

The Crew Motorfest, meanwhile, is Ubisoft's taken on the open-world driving genre popularized by Forza Horizon. It features a sunny version of various Hawaiian islands and launched to positive reviews back in 2023.

"It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," IGN wrote in our The Crew Motorfest review. "To be fair, Motorfest is a robust racer with a confident sense of style, a quality arcade handling model, and a long list of generally well-planned events right out of the box. However, the shift to a smaller map has seen it lose a part of its old identity, boats and aircraft feel like they’ve been sidelined, and some of its event Playlists work a lot better than others."

Finally, there's Football Manager 26 Console, a game which needs little introduction. It's Football Manager, on console, and the latest version to boot.

As ever, Sony is yet to make this list of games official — though is expected to do so later today. We'll update again when it does so, and slot in details of any further additions.

20th Century Studios has snagged the rights to make a movie based on hit Roblox game 99 Nights in the Forest.

99 Nights in the Forest is the seventh most-played game of all time on Roblox despite being only about a year old. As you could probably guess from the title, it has a bit of a Five Nights at Freddy’s feel to it, forcing players to spend 99 nights in a haunted forest. During that time, players must defeat creatures that live in the woods and set out to save four lost children.

The game currently has 26 billion lifetime visits and a 14.2 million all-time peak player count, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Hearing those numbers, it makes a lot of sense as to why 20th Century Studios decided to make it its first major foray into video game adaptations since Disney acquired the studio in 2019.

No creatives or producers have been attached to the project yet beyond the game’s developers — Alex Kieft, Cameron Angland, and Matthew Hufton — who will serve as executive producers.

“Growing up, Disney and 20th films were a huge part of our childhood, so collaborating with such legendary and enduring studios feels surreal,” the game’s creators said in a statement. “We’re excited to explore the world of 99 Nights in the Forest on a broader stage and to create some scares in an entirely new medium.”

I love noir. I’ll take all kinds: the hardboiled detective, the seedy crime story, neo noir, classic pulp – you name it, I’m buying. So when Mouse: P.I. for Hire sauntered onto my screen the way Ilsa walks into Rick’s in Casablanca, I was pretty excited about it. But noir isn’t just an aesthetic to be thrown on like an old coat as you’re leaving your office at the behest of a leggy blonde. While Mouse: P.I. for Hire clearly understands the style and tropes of classic noir films and novels, as well as 1930s cartoons more broadly, it doesn’t seem to get why those things are there, or how they are used to tell compelling stories. By fusing a hardboiled detective mystery with a fast, retro-style FPS, developer Fumi Games has made a shooter that is thematically incoherent, with the apparent aspirations of its story contradicted at every point by the actual action. Of all the Steam Libraries in all the PCs in all the world, Mouse: P.I. for Hire walked into mine. And I wish I liked it more than I do.

Mouse follows Jack Pepper, a private eye in a world where everyone is a mouse, after Wanda Fuller from the Mouseburg Herald sets him on the case of a missing magician. As you’d expect, that spirals into a much larger conspiracy that includes an attempt on a mayoral candidate’s life and racially motivated mouse-on-mouse violence as bigger mice oppress the smaller shrews. Same as it ever was, even in Mouseburg, and the requisite twists and turns you’d expect from any good detective story make this tale solid enough.

What bothers me, however, is how overly-referential so much of it is. This is a world of mice, so everything is about cheese. Everything. A bad guy? He’s a cheeselegger. Run into a lady mouse with a sultry voice? It’ll be described as “gorgonzola piccante slapped on a mozzarella platter.” Someone need to assure you they’re telling the truth? They’ll swear on Maw-Maw’s cottage curds. This is charming initially. Then it never stops. Everything is a reference to the fact that everyone is a mouse and mice like cheese – and when it’s not, instead it’ll be a reference to an old cartoon, or the fact that this is a video game. I should have probably guessed the former when one of the first things I saw was a steamboat named Willie, but at least that and the spinach power-up that gives you Popeye arms is cute. Recalling the Igor/Eye-gor joke from Young Frankenstein? Not so much.

And it doesn’t end there. Run into a series of robot boss fights? Jack will say that he hopes they don’t "rule of three" this thing, which, of course, is exactly what happens. If you’re looking for the Cheeselegging Foreman, Jack will quip that he doesn’t look like much of a boss… more like a mini-boss, and then laugh at his own joke. The voice actors, led by Troy Baker, do an admirable job with what they have, but nothing in Mouseburg is allowed to just be. It has to be a mouse reference or a (literally) cheesy one-liner or a reference to something else. It’s hard to care about anything in Mouse: PI For Hire because it never stops making jokes about everything. It just wants to remind you of other, better things. Surely that’s enough, right?

At least the shooting is better. This is the latest in a wave of “boomer shooters” inspired by old school FPSes like Doom or Quake, and it’s a decent one at that. You start with a pistol and Jack’s fists, but you’ll soon acquire a shotgun, dynamite, a James Gun (which is just a Tommy gun), and more unique stuff like the Devarnisher, which shoots what looks like Elmer’s glue that melts the flesh from your enemies’ bones, leaving only a skeleton. Throw in stuff like a double jump, dash, spinning tail for hovering, and a slide, and Jack’s got some stylish moves when the bad guys show up. This ain’t Quake, but it does feel good. It doesn’t hurt that all of it, from reload animations to random conversations, is rendered in an absolutely gorgeous black and white mix of spritework and 3D models. The worldbuilding may be thin, but Mouse: P.I. for Hire is still dressed to the nines.

Even here, though, I have issues. Weapons can feel weak, especially the shotgun – it’s got the audio kick of a popgun, and there’s a strange disconnect to seeing something that sounds like a kid’s toy blow off some poor mouse’s head as you paint the white of the world with the black ichor that spews out of his neck. Enemies mostly come out of doors marked with a skull that you can’t enter, robbing those areas of anything remotely resembling a sense of place. Levels also really like to pull the “we’re going to lock you in a room and throw baddies at you until they’re dead or you are” schtick a little too much for my taste. None of this is ever gamebreaking, mind; the combat is fundamentally good enough to carry you to the end of the roughly 12-hour campaign, but sometimes it feels like being at a show that’s never quite bad enough to leave. And at least on the normal difficulty, health items are so generous there’s rarely a challenge.

Like any good boomer shooter, there are plenty of secrets to find – newspapers, cash, weapon upgrade schematics, baseball cards, and so on – fragile walls to blow up, and even locked safes to open with your tail, which pulls double duty as a lockpick. Some of those locks are on a time limit or must be solved in a limited number moves, and you only get one shot at the good stuff they hold; others are so easy you could probably solve them by letting an actual mouse run across your keyboard. It’s very jarring.

Once you’re done with a level, it’s back to the hub, which encompasses Jack’s office, the local bar, store, weapon upgrade shop, and so on. My favorite thing here is the baseball card minigame you can play at the bar. You’ll switch between pitching and being at bat, using the cards in your hand (players and abilities) to try and score as many runs as you can. It’s fun! What I like less is the whole “being a detective” thing, mostly because I never got to actually do it. Any clues you find will be pinned to Jack’s caseboard, and once you get them there, Jack will just intuit where to go. No work on your part required. What’s the point of being a gumshoe if all the answers are handed right to me?

That brings me to one of my major problems with Mouse: P.I. for Hire. Look, I hate to be the guy who brings up “ludonarrative dissonance” in a video game review in The Year of Our Lord 2026, and if you’re rolling your eyes right now, I can’t blame you. But it’s an actual issue here. Jack Pepper is a P.I. who kills more people in a single mission than Phillip Marlowe has in every book Raymond Chandler ever wrote combined. I don’t care how corrupt the cops are: a private detective can’t break into a police station and slaughter them en masse and then go about his day. In one particularly nonsensical scenario, Jack inadvertently burns down an opera house to save a guy running for mayor, and he ends up fighting… an opera singer? And shoots her? Is she dead? Did I just kill an actress for being angry I burned down her workplace? If I didn’t, have I left her alive and unconscious inside a burning building? Mouse: P.I. for Hire doesn’t tell me, and doesn’t seem to care either way.

None of this is to say that noir cannot or should not be violent, but that violence usually has a purpose. Much of Elliot Chaze’s seminal novel Black Wings Has My Angel is about robbing an armored car, but the book builds to that – it’s a big deal when it finally happens, and the characters have to reckon with the fallout once it does. Jack Pepper, on the other hand, is a walking catastrophe and nobody in Mouseburg seems to care. He largely gets to go about his business and is portrayed as a down-on-his-luck everyman P.I., like the characters who inspired him, when he is, at best, a mass murderer. Does that make for a more fun video game? Maybe. But it’s bad noir, and a worse detective tale. In the stories Mouse: P.I. for Hire references, violence is an unfortunate but unavoidable part of the human experience that shatters the people it touches. Here, it’s just entertainment, and that weakens the whole concept.

“But Will,” you might say, “this is a goofy, Looney Tunes FPS. Why should I care about any of that?” And the answer is because Mouse wants you to. It wants you to believe that this is important. You spend a lot of time talking about these characters, about putting together the clues you need to get to the bottom of what’s going on, and about Jack’s motivation for doing the work (he allegedly needs the money, which both leads to him taking cases and doesn’t track when I’m super rich from all the killing). All of that makes a lot less sense after you’ve gone to Tinsel Bros. Studios and single-handedly eradicated the mob hanging out there, all while doing a bunch of Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones/Conan the Barbarian impressions as everyone says you should be an actor. Give this guy a week on the job as chief of police and Mouseburg would be the safest city in the world because nobody would be left alive to commit crimes in the first place. It’s hard to buy into Jack as the regular guy who needs to gather evidence I’m told he is when he’s just wiped out the local police department, you know?
