Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 has been delayed indefinitely after developer Gearbox announced that it had paused development on the game. But a pause is all it is, claims Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick. Fans fearing that the Switch 2 edition has been canceled can seemingly breathe a sigh of relief.

Zelnick told Game File that the decision to pause development on the Switch 2 came down to Gearbox wanting to first address the issues with Borderlands 4 on PC.

"We've been addressing those challenges, and we want to make sure that we've fully addressed Borderlands 4 from a consumer's point of view before we bring it to more platforms," he said.

A trio of famous TV show moms are coming to Fortnite, Epic Games has announced.

Lois Griffin from Family Guy, Peggy Hill from King of the Hill, and Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers are all headed to Fortnite on May 8. That's just a couple days before Mother's Day on Sunday, May 10.

"The Moms deserve a little vacation," Epic Games said. Each mother will have their own Fortnite bundle that includes the skin, along with extras like backbling, a pickaxe, and emote.

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is trying to acquire auction site eBay for more than $50 billion, and now the billionaire has listed several GameStop-related items on the platform to help, he says, pay for the buyout.

Cohen is known for trolling and shenanigans, and this is just the latest example. Cohen is seemingly poking fun at the people saying he cannot possibly fund the massively leveraged deal proposal.

"I'm selling stuff on eBay to pay for eBay," Cohen wrote. Later that day, he said his eBay account was permanently suspended. However, his page and all three-dozen listings are still up.

Diablo 4's Lord of Hatred expansion brings a conclusive end to the storyline started in the base game of Blizzard's live-service ARPG, but already players are wondering what comes next. According to those following Diablo 4's lore, it might not be Diablo himself.

Mephisto's defeat in the expansion brings an end to the Age of Hatred, wrapping up the storyline that started in 2023 with Diablo 4's release. Lilith is gone for the time being, having been defeated in the base game, and her connection to the player-character severed in Lord of Hatred. Mephisto is sent into the Void, from which he can't reform in hell.

That leaves a bit of a power vacuum in Sanctuary, and while many fans would likely love to see the franchise's namesake appear as the next big bad of Diablo 4, the more likely candidate is Baal, the Lord of Destruction.

There's a reason games from smaller developers have increasingly embraced roguelite mechanics. The repetitive core progression allows lots of gameplay to be wrung out of the same or similar level structures while still giving players the feeling of progression and empowerment. Huntdown: Overtime, coming soon in early access, is the latest to graft roguelite hooks onto a familiar genre. This time, it's a new take on the classic arcade run-and-gun shooter. And similarly to Absolum, the combination works well, even if I am admittedly starting to feel some roguelite fatigue.

Huntdown: Overtime is a sequel to 2020's Huntdown, a stylish dystopian shooter modeled after classic arcade shooters like Contra, ESWAT, or 1988's Robocop. Huntdown used a traditional level-based design, which makes an easy comparison between the two. I may still prefer the original approach for this genre, but the homage to arcades softens its more repetitive nature. Whereas plunking in quarters to play the first stage or two over and over was commonplace in arcades, it doesn't feel all that dissimilar in a roguelite.

Like the original, Overtime takes place in a gang-infested, neon-soaked hellhole of a future. It's a vision of the future where all of the big hair and fashion excesses of the 1980s got even more amped up. As a child of the '80s, this is very effective on me: a kid who thought of "gangs" as groups of ruffians with gaudy themes and baseball bats. Overtime nails this aesthetic not only in its visual style, but also in the way it captures this vision of the future that was actually presented in arcade games in that era. Faceless, pixelated mobs of goons prowl the streets, but this time they're accented by a vast array of animations that make them feel more reactive. At one point I kicked a thug away, only to have their body half-hang limply off a fire escape. That attention to detail is a lot more than I had come to expect from a shooter like this and shows a clear focus on modernization.

The next big video game movie is Mortal Kombat 2, and it comes out on May 8. But how much money is it expected to bring in? The studio behind the movie, Warner Bros. Discovery, is projecting $35 million from North America, but that's likely a conservative estimate.

Tracking data unaffiliated with Warner Bros. projects Mortal Kombat 2 will bring in $40 million to $45 million during its opening weekend in North America where it's being shown in 3,400 theaters.

Mortal Kombat 2's main competition this weekend is The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is expected to earn between $38 million and $42 million for its second weekend. Exhibition sources told Variety that Mortal Kombat 2 and The Devil Wears Prada 2 could push higher, closer to $50 million each. That could happen for Mortal Kombat 2 if word of mouth is strong and if Mother's Day has the expected impact for The Devil Wears Prada 2, the report said.

Amid rising industry costs and a declining stock price, Nintendo may face shareholder pressure to increase the price of the Switch 2 console.

A Bloomberg report notes that Nintendo's upcoming financial earnings release--scheduled for May 8--comes at a challenging time. While the company's shares have declined for several months, its first-party game releases, theme park attractions, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have all performed well. However, the Switch 2 console is being sold at a loss globally.

The Switch 2 is priced at $450 in the US and $318 for the region-locked Japanese version. While sales have been strong overall--despite a lukewarm Christmas period--investors believe Nintendo should reduce losses or achieve profitability per unit. This may prompt Nintendo to follow Microsoft and Sony by raising the Switch 2 price by at least $50. Unlike the original Switch, which launched at a profit, Nintendo has opted to absorb costs on the Switch 2 and focus on profits from games and accessories.

GTA 6 is marking another milestone, as today, May 6, marks the one-year anniversary of when the game's second trailer was released in 2025. This was the latest sad milestone for GTA 6 this year, as February 4 represented the fourth anniversary of the game's original unveiling in 2022. It's sad because fans were hoping to have seen or learned more about GTA 6 in the past year, but almost nothing came.

Trailer 2 for GTA 6 (re-watch it below) provided the best look yet at Rockstar's hugely anticipated open-world action game, showcasing more of the environments that Jason and Lucia will explore in Vice City. The trailer also revealed that Rockstar and Sony were working together on the game, as DualSense-like controllers and a PS5-looking console were spotted in the trailer, which was captured on PS5.

It was also in May 2025 that Rockstar published a GTA 6 website featuring lots of images and new details about the game.
