Diablo 4's next class could be the long-awaited Paladin, if the name of an internal build recently spotted on Blizzard's servers is to be believed.

As originally spotted by Spanish site DiabloNext (via Icy Veins), an internal build for Diablo 4 named "2.5.Xpaladin.67961" allegedly made its way to Blizzard's servers, seemingly hinting that a Paladin class could be in the works.

The 2.5 numbers in the build name appear to be referring to patch 2.5, which would line up with Diablo 4 Season 11, since Season 9 is currently on patch 2.3. Though it seems unlikely Blizzard would release the Paladin before a major expansion (which would see the build number jump to the 3.0 designation), it's possible some part of a Paladin class might be included as part of the patch 2.5 update, even if the class isn't fully playable or is only included for testing purposes.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's campaign could include a brand-new element that brings together single-player and multiplayer. According to Insider Gaming, the game's final campaign mission will morph into a 32-player multiplayer experience that could take the form of some kind of "extraction-based" experience.

The report said a map called Avalon was initially set to be the newest Call of Duty: Warzone map, but it's now being used for the final campaign mission in Black Ops 7.

"It was said that the mission will be 'hardcore' and similar to other extraction shooters on the market; if you're killed and your squad is wiped, you will lose all your character's progress," the report said.

Gearbox wants to make sure that Borderlands 4 is the smoothest co-op experience you've ever played, and to that end, it's bringing back many hallmark features of the series, as well as some new ones like teleporting to players, in order to polish it off.

In a recent post on Xbox Wire, the team divulged some details on how co-op will factor into the upcoming shooter. Co-op has always been central to the Borderlands games, as well as its spin-off, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, so it shouldn't be too surprising that the feature is back and seemingly better than ever in Borderlands 4.

For one, Borderlands 4 continues the franchise's streak of including split-screen co-op for up to two players, and allowing those players to then take their game online. This means that the game will be able to support a full online party of four players where each duo is sharing a screen.

There's been no shortage of Jurassic Park games over the years, but Jurassic Park: Survival is aiming to be an authentic return to the early days of the film franchise. In a new developer diary, Saber Interactive detailed how it worked alongside Universal Pictures to make its upcoming game look and feel like it was pulled straight out of the 1993 movie that kicked off the entire film franchise.

This approach involved going hands-on with several props from the movie--like dinosaur eggs and night-vision goggles--while accurately recreating locations from the Isla Nublar island. "We go through room by room in the game, level by level. We look at every possible resource--from archives from the film, production stills, production blueprints--to make sure that every prop is in the same place," Universal's John Melchior said in the video.

One other grisly piece of authenticity that the game has is that carnivorous dinosaurs are more than happy to turn the protagonist, Dr. Maya Joshi, into a quick meal. From the Dilophosaurus spitting venom to the T-Rex overpowering a player, players will have to stay on their toes when they run across these ancient predators.

World of Warcraft's upcoming Legion Remix event is looking to make some big changes to one of the MMORPG's most popular expansions. In addition to letting players and their Artifact weapons become more powerful than ever before, Blizzard is taking some key inspirations from Diablo to add some new twists to the beloved expansion.

In the same vein as last year's Mists of Pandaria Remix event, Legion Remix is set to go live alongside WoW's 11.2.5 update later this year and will be a speedrun of sorts through 2016's Legion expansion. Players will create new "timerunner" characters and experience faster leveling times, increased reputation gains, and an accelerated weekly content lockout schedule to make progressing even faster.

There are, however, some big changes from last year's remix event, as recently outlined by Blizzard. Instead of Mists of Pandaria Remix's ever-upgrading cloak and gem system, Legion Remix will instead double down on Legion's expansion-defining Artifact weapons. Players will earn an upgrade currency that can be used to upgrade their Artifacts even further than in the original Legion, with new upgrade trees that will see players embracing one of five different damage types--Nature, Fel, Arcane, Storm, or Holy. They'll also be able to find jewelry slot items that can add additional ranks to Artifact traits, increasing the weapon's power even further. Thankfully, players will be able to freely respec their Artifact weapon traits at any time.

Amazon Studios has released a new poster for Fallout Season 2, and it teases an iconic location. As suspected, Season 2 is heading to New Vegas, and this poster puts that front and center. Additionally, the streamer has confirmed some kind of reveal for the show at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19.

The poster also shows off the main characters, including Lucy (Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), Maximus (Aaron Moten), and of course Dogmeat. They're walking dramatically together as a group with the city in the background. Leaked photos from the set have revealed a number of New Vegas locations that the show will take its characters to.

Season 2 debuts this December.

Season 2 premieres on Prime Video sometime this December. Amazon Studios clearly has faith in the series, as it's already ordered a third season as well.

Borderlands 4 releases next month on PC and console, and as that date draws closer, developer Gearbox has been releasing a steady stream of videos highlighting the new Vault Hunters in the game. This week, it's time for the hulking warrior Amon to take the spotlight, but don't expect him to be all brawn and very few brains like Brick, the beefy brawler from the first Borderlands game.

Unlike his counterpart, Amon is a tragic warrior with a surprisingly tender side--and an appreciation for the best ice cream flavor, pPistachio--who was raised in a Vault monster-worshipping cult. After a Vault was opened and the living weapon inside of it killed Amon's entire cult, he dedicated his life to finding and slaying as many of the beasts as he could. You can see just how good he is at doing that in the video below.

As seen in the video, Amon is a one-man army in action thanks to the Forge Drones implanted throughout his body. This makes him an axe-ceptional warrior, as he can be customized to soak up damage with a defensive build or level the playing field with his offensive abilities.

Borderlands 4 is almost here, bringing four new playable Vault Hunters to the 16-year-old looter shooter franchise. Earlier this year, I went hands-on with Borderlands 4 and got a chance to play as the exosuit-wearing Rafa and fall in love with the delightfully dark Siren, Vex. As we approach the game's release, I spoke with lead character designer Nick Thurston to delve into the abilities, creation, and play style of Amon, a warrior-poet and Viking-inspired warrior who offers a little bit more gameplay complexity for fans who want that in a Borderlands game. Our conversation is detailed below, edited for both brevity and readability.

Like its predecessors, Borderlands 4 is all about stopping a world-ending threat and uncovering the location of a treasure-filled Vault on an alien planet as one of four Vault Hunters. Along the way, you'll run across a truly enormous number of unique firearms and fight through hordes of monstrous creatures, vengeful dictators, and murderous machines, all while befriending (or growing increasingly exasperated by) a network of quip-loving characters. Borderlands 4 adds several long-requested features that fans have wanted in the series as well, like mission replay and a seamless world.

Borderlands 4 is set to launch for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on September 12, with a Switch 2 version slated for release on October 3.

Squid Games is taking over Fortnite, as Epic Games has announced that new creator-made games are available now to play. Like its Netflix source material, these are inspired by childhood games, but they're given a deadly twist as failure can result in elimination--at least it's better than what happens to the poor souls who lose a game in the popular TV series.

As you'd expect, there are also a few Fortnite elements present here, and some of the games revolve around lethal sumo rings, a deadly trap-filled gauntlet, and a recreation of the iconic Red Light, Green Light game.

One of the new modes teased was Squid Games: Island Escape. Now available, Island Escape revolves around players outrunning the Squid Games Guards and extracting themselves. Players assuming the role of Squid Games Contestants will compete in five minigames, and succeeding will unlock powerful loot to help them in their escape attempt. The catch here is that Guards will have several advantages as they chase down players, and the fewer survivors there are when they reach the boat, the bigger the payoff will be for all remaining players.

Back in June, Lego Builder's Journey developer revealed its next game utilizing the iconic plastic bricks, Lego Voyagers. This time around the game is a co-op adventure game where you play as two, single-stud bricks heading off on a journey about "friendship and play." Now, as revealed in a trailer released by publisher Annapurna Interactive, a release date has been set in stone.

You'll be able to pick up Lego Voyagers in a month's time on September 15, when it will be launching on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and the original Nintendo Switch. The new trailer, which you can check out below, offers up a good look at what you can expect from the upcoming game. It looks like you can expect some light puzzle elements, which of course includes building things--one scene shows one player brick holding down a set of bricks while the other builds a catapult to get across a ravine.

The whole goal for these two sentient Lego bricks is to rescue an abandoned spaceship, and it looks like they'll be traveling by boat and train as they slowly make their way to achieve that dream. You'll be able to play the game in both local and online co-op, and if you own a copy of the game, you'll be able to invite a friend to play the whole game for free alongside you with the Friend's Pass. If you're at Gamescom later this month, you'll also be able to try out a demo of the game.

When it released in 1999, American Pie was an instant success. The raunchy comedy racked up over $230 million at the box office, and it'd go on to spawn a variety of sequels over the years--and remains a classic to this day. Folks looking to relive the wild adventure can now preorder the American Pie Limited Edition Steelbook on 4K Blu-ray, offering over three hours of bonus features plus a hilarious cover design for its premium case. It's slated for a September 30 release.

American Pie Limited Edition Steelbook $30 (was $35) | Releases September 30

This premium edition of American Pie includes 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital copies of both the theatrical and unrated versions of the film. It supports Dolby Vision and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, meaning it should both look and sound great in modern home theaters. What's most impressive, however, is its $30 price tag, which is the exact same price as the standard American Pie 4K Blu-ray. Essentially, you're not paying any extra for the cool steelbook case--making this the best version to add to your collection. Preorders are available at Amazon and Walmart.

Note: These are offered in standard Blu-ray.

The Battlefield 6 open beta is back up and running for its second and final weekend, and while it does indeed afford players the ability to dabble in a playlist with class-locked weapons, it's not immediately obvious. There is just one "closed" weapon playlist in the open beta currently, and it's not visible when you boot up the game. You need to scroll over to the right to find it.

The playlist is called "Closed Weapon All-Out Warfare." The description reads, "Experience the same large-scale battle of Conquest or Breakthrough with the addition of class-locked weapons." As that description alludes to, this playlist does not feature the new mode for Weekend 2, Rush.

The closed weapon setup will feel familiar to people who played older Battlefield games, where weapons are locked to specific classes instead of being available to all players. Battlefield 2042 did away with this, allowing people to freely pick and choose the weapons they wanted, irrespective of their class, as part of the controversial Specialist setup. Some portion of the audience didn't enjoy this, while others embraced this expanded freedom.

Metal Gear Solid V will be turning 10 in September, but it still stirs up conversation--especially about the fallout between Konami, Hideo Kojima, and longtime Snake voice actor David Hayter. When Hayter was replaced by actor Kiefer Sutherland for MGS5, fans were stunned, and Hayter himself took it hard. Back in 2015, he said playing the game would feel like "60 hours of humiliation."

But it seems that time away from things has changed his mind. Speaking to PC Gamer ahead of the Metal Gear Solid Delta release, Hayter said he finally gave the game a shot. "I didn't want to play the game because I figured it would hurt my feelings," he said. "Then, you know, 10 years went by, and I was like, 'To hell with my feelings. What do I care?" As a veteran screenwriter, he added, "I get fired for a living...I'm not a child."

Once he played it, Hayter was surprised by how much he enjoyed it. "I was like, 'Stop being a baby and play the game.' So I played it. It's amazing." He admitted it gave him a new perspective on fans who once told him MGS5 was their favorite. "I'd be like, 'What the hell, dude? Thanks. You wanna give me a paper cut as well? Maybe pour some lemon juice on it?' And then I played it and I'm like, 'I think this is my favorite gameplay of the series.'"

One of the most popular game modes in the NBA 2K franchise is MyTeam--2K's version of EA's Ultimate Team--in which players can build their own super squads using player cards purchased in packs or earned through in-game challenges. NBA 2K26 is looking to improve on the MyTeam experience with a groundbreaking addition, as the players and teams of the WNBA will be available in the mode for the first time ever.

WNBA players will be "fully integrated" into MyTeam in this year's NBA 2K game, which will allow players to mix and match current and legendary WNBA players with players from the NBA. Attributes and Badges will work the same for all players regardless of gender, according to the official announcements, in an effort to ensure a "balanced, consistent gameplay experience no matter who is on the court."

WNBA team jerseys and court floors will also be added for players to unlock in the game mode--though the MyTeam versions of the WNBA court floors will have an NBA-regulation three-point line. New commentary has been recorded to reflect the new pool of MyTeam players, with featured voices including Kevin Harlan, Greg Anthony, and Stan Van Gundy.

Battlefield 6 is now available in open beta, and soon it will fully launch worldwide for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. EA and Dice seemingly have a massive hit on their hands, as the beta numbers look extremely promising, even beating out Call of Duty's all-time player count on Steam.

Below, you can find a comprehensive hub of every guide we've done on Battlefield 6 so you'll be able to answer any question you may have about the multiplayer experience.

The price of many products is increasing of late, due in part to tariffs and other economic conditions, and this has stretched to gaming as well. Against this backdrop, FuturLab has released a tongue-in-cheek trailer for PowerWash Simulator 2 that confirms the standalone sequel's price--$25 USD--which is the same as the first game.

"FuturLab acknowledges that in the current cost-of-living climate, players often have limited budgets for games and entertainment. For many, PowerWash Simulator is more than just a game, it's a wellbeing tool, a way to decompress and reclaim a moment of calm. The team is keen to keep that experience within reach," the developer said.

PowerWash Simulator 2 builds upon the foundation of the original game and adds more features like split-screen co-op, four-player online campaign support, better visuals, and perhaps most importantly, pettable cats.

Guild Wars publisher NCSoft has a number of titles in the works, but as shared during its Q2 2025 earnings call, several of them have just received a delay. First up there's the very Genshin Impact-like Breakers: Unlock the World, originally due to be released some time this year, has now been delayed to Q1 2026. Then there's Time Takers, which has been pushed into a Q2 2026 release window, and the history-blending sci-fi shooter Project LLL is expected in late Q3 2026. Aside from these three games, there are also four spin-off games planned for release in 2026 as well.

According to the call, the delays aren't due to any particular issues with development, but to both ensure quality and give each game the space that it needs to do well. As of now, the only major game NCSoft has that will release in 2025 is the MMORPG Aion 2. This game is currently slated to be released in Q4 2025, though an exact release date hasn't been confirmed as of yet.

The first Aion came out way back in 2008 and is still receiving updates even now. Its upcoming sequel was originally intended as a mobile game, but has since shifted to a full-on PC release. Right now Aion 2 is only planned to be released in Korea and Taiwan, but a global release is reportedly expected for some time in 2026. It also received its first gameplay trailer back in May, showing off the game's environments, mounts, and flashy combat.

Mario + Rabbids Double Pack

$30 | Releases September 18

Preorder at Amazon

The unlikely mash-up of Mario and the adorable Rabbids from Rayman resulted in two fantastic Nintendo Switch strategy games, and for anyone looking to add them to their collection, you can soon pick an Amazon-exclusive double pack featuring both Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and its sequel, Sparks of Hope, for just $30. It's worth noting this is a digital download code in a box, not a physical game card release. That means you'll need to have an internet connection, Ubisoft account, and Nintendo account to redeem them. But for those who don't mind the format, the Mario + Rabbids Double Pack looks to be a convenient way to grab both Switch games at once when it launches on September 18. Preorders are available now.

Mario + Rabbids Double Pack $30 | Releases September 18

This Amazon-exclusive bundle gets you the digital version of both Switch games (Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope). You'll get a code in a box with your purchase (not game cards), which lets you download the two titles. That means you'll need to have an internet connection, Ubisoft account, and Nintendo account to redeem them. Both titles should also work on Switch 2, with Kingdom Battle running at a smooth 60fps.

Preorder at Amazon

While the Mario + Rabbids Double Pack is convenient, it's not the only way to grab these games. You'll find a code-in-box version of Kingdom Battle on sale at Amazon for just $5 (was $40) and a physical game card copy of Sparks of Hope for $14.49 (was $20) at Best Buy. That means you can nab both for just $19.49 right now--though when the two sales disappear, Amazon's double pack will become the best way to add them to your collection.

Lego Disney Pixar: WALL-E and EVE (43279)

$70 | 811 Pieces | Releases September 1

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Lego Store

Lego is releasing a new display set for adults based on Pixar's beloved 2008 animated movie WALL-E. The 811-piece model features buildable WALL-E, EVE, and M-O figures as well as Hal, the last plant on Earth, and a Garbage Cube. You can preorder the new WALL-E Lego set for $70 at Amazon and the Lego Store ahead of its September 1 launch.

The surprise return of WALL-E is extremely welcome news for fans who collect Disney Lego sets. Back in 2015, WALL-E the robot made its brick-set debut in the Lego Ideas line. The 677-piece set retailed for $60 and was officially retired about a year later. Since then, the value of Lego Ideas WALL-E (21303) has skyrocketed. Today, a brand-new set is valued at just shy of $300. Even preowned sets that are already assembled can pull in $200, according to Brick Economy, a great resource that tracks online marketplace sales. And it's not just one sale every couple of months; there are dozens of completed sales this month.

WALL-E and EVE 43279 (Lego Disney Pixar)

So, if you've ever considered paying hundreds of dollars for Lego WALL-E, now you can get WALL-E, EVE, M-O, and more for $70 instead. And if you've been waiting for the right moment to sell Lego Ideas WALL-E, that moment may have passed. The WALL-E robot in the old set is a bit larger than the new one, but the new model looks more realistic, which isn't surprising since Lego continues to refine its engineering and design processes as time goes on.

Ever since the beta of Battlefield 6 was released, players have been trying to figure out how to disable the Adaptive Triggers on their PlayStation 5 controllers. The Adaptive Trigger feature on the PS5 controller is fairly controversial, as you either seem to love or hate using it. Some players feel Adaptive Triggers add to the immersion of whatever game they're playing, while others don't like having their triggers fight them when they're trying to shoot an enemy.

If you don't enjoy Adaptive Triggers in a fast-paced first-person shooter like Battlefield 6, then you've almost certainly tried to disable them through the game's settings. Of course, you likely figured out that there's currently no way to turn off Adaptive Triggers through Battlefield 6 itself.

Fortunately, whether you're on PS5 or PC, there's a method to disable Adaptive Triggers in Battlefield 6, and you can see what it is below.
