Monster Hunter Wilds may have been overshadowed by the games that followed it this year, but it just took home two awards from the PlayStation Partner Awards 2025 Japan Asia. While accepting his wins, the game's leading boss Ryozo Tsujimoto shared his conviction that Monster Hunter is still popular among players and he doesn't see any need for the franchise to stop.

"Of course, we don’t intend to stop the series here," Tsujimoto told IGN. "We plan to continue, and we want to let more people play. In addition, I would like to think about things beyond the games so that we can further expand the potential of the Monster Hunter IPs.'"

There was a live-action Monster Hunter movie in 2020 from director Paul W. S. Anderson and actress Milla Jovovich, the husband-and-wife team behind the first six Resident Evil films. However, Monster Hunter's dismal $47.9 million worldwide box office has seemingly killed any prospect of a sequel.

Prediction markets have been popular for years, and now Roblox's top boss has said he wants to see them integrated into the hugely popular game someday.

CEO Dave Baszucki told The New York Times, "We would. I think we would have to do that."

It's not so easy, though, as Baszucki said every country has different legislation surrounding "loot boxes and kid gambling," so there are regulatory hurdles that would need be sorted out.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has enjoyed an exceptional year, becoming the most-nominated game in the history of The Game Awards. Its cast--Ben Starr, Charlie Cox, and Jennifer English among them--earned major recognition in the show's performance categories, helping cement the game as one of the year's standout achievements. But even while celebrating this success, the cast has been discussing ways the awards could grow, especially when it comes to recognizing the full range of performance work that brings modern games to life.

In an interview with Video Games Chronicle, cast members English, Shayla Nyx, Devora Wilde, and Aliona Baranova shared their hope that The Game Awards will eventually expand its performance categories. They explained that, while the nominations are an honor, the current categories overlook many essential performers.

"If I may, can I put my petition forward for why we need to have a motion capture category?" Baranova said. "It's been decades of actors going in, doing the mocap, and then someone else's voice is popped on top, and those mocap performers just disappear. I forgot that. Nobody knows about them.” Baranova, who worked as a motion capture director on Baldur's Gate 3, noted that this issue has persisted for years.

Sony's popular and longrunning professional baseball series, MLB The Show, is expanding to a new place: mobile. A new version of the game "built from the ground up" for mobile is headed to iOS and Android, with a test coming up soon in the Philippines before a global rollout later.

The regional test for the Philippines begins today, December 3, but there is no word yet on when the game will be available in more places. This kind of limited, regional rollout is common for mobile games.

A FAQ for The Show's mobile version confirms it is a standalone game that will not support cross-play with the console editions. The game is optimized for iPhone 16 or "comparable devices" in the Apple family, along with Samsung Galaxy S25, Sony Xperia V, or "comparable" phones.

Considered to be one of the very best Fallout games, New Vegas was initially developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind this year's well-received Outer Worlds sequel. Set in the post-apocalyptic Mojave Desert, New Vegas was built on the foundation laid in 2008's Fallout 3, but with a greater emphasis on RPG gameplay mechanics and quirky storytelling, it quickly became a fan favorite amongst Fallout players.

The ending of Fallout Season 1 on Prime Video hinted heavily that New Vegas would be a key location in the second season, and a recent trailer briefly showed Walton Goggins' The Ghoul and Ella Purnell's Lucy making their way to the famous gambling capital. Fallout Season 2 will debut on Prime Video on December 17. If you're looking to catch up on Fallout before the second season starts, it's also available on Blu-ray. The limited-edition 4K steelbook is still available at Amazon for $44.20, while the standard 4K Blu-ray is priced at $30. The Blu-ray editions include an assortment of behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Late last month, Santa Ragione, the developer behind the indie horror game Horses, revealed that its title had been banned by Steam in 2023 while the game was still in development. The game had been set to release on Epic Games Store this week, but now Epic has banned Horses as well.

Santa Ragione shared a lengthy statement on its site, as well as reproduced messages from Epic that broke the news about the cancellation a day before launch. The dispatch from Epic cites violations of its inappropriate content policy and hateful or abusive content policies. Epic also stated that Horses got an Adults Only rating, and those games are excluded from the store.

In response, Santa Ragione mentioned that Epic approved the game for release just over three weeks ago, and that the actual rating for the game was M for Mature under the ESRB and PEGI 18 in international territories. The studio went on to explain again that Horses is not a sexually charged adult game.

Samus Aran might not be known as a chatty character, but a voice actor helps flesh out the heroine with grunts and mumbles. Jennifer Hale, probably best known as Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy, previously provided the voice for Samus in the first three Metroid Prime games. But for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Erin Yvette voices the protagonist and Krystle Martin provides the motion capture, per Nintendo Life.

This isn't the first time Yvette has worked with Nintendo. Her previous experience with the company includes voicing Neilnail in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition and Great Fairy Cotera in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Meanwhile, IGN asked Hale about reprising her Metroid Prime role recently, and the actress seemingly implied she wasn't involved this time. "I don't know," Hale said. "I have no recollection of recording it or signing a contract, so it could be no." Hale has been on the flip side of this before, too, with Bayonetta 3.

She isn't the first voice actor replaced by Nintendo in recent years. In June, longtime Princess Peach and Toad voice actor Samantha Kelly revealed she was no longer playing those parts after not being involved with Mario Kart World. In 2023, Super Mario Bros. Wonder introduced a new voice for Mario and Luigi--Kevin Afghani. This came after Charles Martinet stepped back from voicing the iconic character following a 25-year stint.

Recently, CD Projekt published a social media post about Cyberpunk 2077 that some took to be a teaser for some kind of announcement on December 10, the game's fifth anniversary.

This was not a teaser for anything, CD Projekt's Marcin Momot has now clarified. The developer publishes these kinds of posts every 30 days to celebrate birthdays for Cyberpunk characters, and for December, the 10th was mentioned as well to celebrate the game's fifth anniversary.

"It's not a teaser. Hope this clears things up!" he wrote.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been one of 2025's standout hits, and now it's been confirmed that the game broke records for Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft announced that Expedition 33 has become the "biggest new third-party game launch on Xbox Game Pass of 2025" based on number of unique users in the first 30 days. It's not clear what title Expedition 33 took down to become No. 1 for third-party games on Game Pass.

Expedition 33 was developed by Sandfall Interactive, and it was the team's first game. Creative director Guilllaume Broche said, "This year has been so far beyond what any of us could have imagined, and it's down to how passionate and supportive our fans have been to make that a reality."

According to one analyst, Call of Duty as a franchise is "underperforming" in 2025 due to a variety of factors. Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics said in an interview that some of the factors that he believes are contributing to Call of Duty's decline include "community burnout, questionable creative and business decisions by Activision/Microsoft, and strong competition."

In terms of the competition, Elliott called out Battlefield 6 and Arc Raiders, along with Fortnite, which recently had a popular Simpsons season and launched its positively received Chapter 7.

"Xbox dropped the ball on the wrong year, as this year saw some of the most exciting shooter releases in years," Elliott told Eurogamer. "Attention is scarce."
