The Dragon Ball action RPG Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is getting a new expansion later this year that celebrates the most recent anime series in the franchise, Dragon Ball: Daima. The expansion will roll out in two parts, with Part 1 launching September 2025 and Part 2 planned for March 2026. While fans who already own the game on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PC can purchase the expansion as digital DLC, a new physical Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Daima Edition is also launching later this year that includes the base game and the two-part Daima expansion in one package. No specific release date is confirmed for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Daima Edition's physical release, but preorders for the PS5 and Switch versions are already available for $50 at Amazon.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Daima Edition $50 | Releases TBA 2025

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Daima Edition will include the full base game on disc and a download voucher for the Daima: Adventure Through the Demon Realm expansion. No preorder bonuses have been confirmed for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Daima Edition, but we'll update if anything is announced. While Amazon lists the game's release date as December 31, 2025, that is likely a placeholder, and we'll update once the actual launch date is confirmed.

It's also worth noting that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Daima Edition will not include the five other Season Pass DLC expansions previously released for the game, meaning you'll have to pick those up separately if you want to experience those additional storylines. So far, only PS5 and Nintendo Switch are getting physical releases, though the digital version of the Daima expansion will be available for all other platforms, including PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

For the two-part Daima expansion, players explore the Demon Realm as Goku after he's shrunk down to his younger self. Goku's new companions from the Daima anime, Glorio, Shin, and Panzy, join the little Saiyan on his adventure to master new techniques and track down the Dragon Balls of the Demon Realm so he can restore himself to his normal size and full power.

In case you missed it when launched in 2020, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot retells several storylines from the manga and anime source material, starting with the Saiyan Saga and ending with the Majin Buu Saga, while expanding the universe with new content. Several DLC expansions followed the base game that add five additional chapters to play through based on the Battle of the Gods and Resurrection 'F' arcs from Dragon Ball Super, and an all-new campaign starring Trunks. The game combines the action-packed brawling of the franchise with light RPG mechanics like leveling up Goku, taking on side quests, and exploring the game's large zones. "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's modern, semi-open approach to telling the saga of DBZ--despite some minor issues--is a good one," Heidi Kemps wrote in GameSpot's review. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot launched on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, followed by PS5 and Xbox Series X|S ports with enhanced visuals.

There are apparently over 30 new games available to stream via the cloud on PlayStation Portal without using a PS5--and they're all part of the Classics catalog. A new report states that almost every original PlayStation and PSP title that's included with the PlayStation Plus Premium membership now works on the handheld device.

According to TrueTrophies, Sony has silently added the PlayStation Classics for the PlayStation Portal cloud-streaming beta. The highly requested feature--which removes the requirement of utilizing a PS5--arrived in November and remains in beta. PlayStation Portal owners must opt in, and originally, only PS5 games part of the PS Plus catalog could be played. Now the library reportedly includes titles like Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Twisted Metal 2, and MediEvil: Resurrection.

Last summer, a PlayStation Portal update offered up the ability to play in more places with better public Wi-Fi access. The device basically pops up a QR code when trying to connect at airports and hotels, so a smartphone is needed to complete the process.

While Nintendo fans eagerly await the April 2 Nintendo Switch 2 broadcast, the Mario company made a different announcement today. Nintendo will open an official Nintendo store in San Francisco this May, and it's just the second Nintendo store in the United States. The other one is in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.

The San Francisco store is located in the city's Union Square area at 331 Powell Street. The store will be stocked with Nintendo game consoles and games, along with accessories, apparel, home goods, and souvenirs that are only available at the San Francisco location.

It seems fans won't just be able to walk into the store when it opens on May 15. Nintendo said there will be "reservation requirements," and more details will be shared in the weeks ahead.

Nvidia has confirmed that Half-Life 2 RTX will get a demo on March 18, giving us a glimpse of what this Valve classic would look like if it were made in 2025, not 2004.

This demo is meant to be a showpiece for Nvidia RTX Remix, which exited beta today, March 13. As the video below shows, this gives Half-Life 2 features it didn't have before, like full ray tracing and multi-frame generation. While the final version of Half-Life 2 RTX will contain the full game, this demo will only feature the Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt levels.

First teased in 2023, Half-Life 2 RTX is not made by Valve but by the fans-turned-developers at Orbifold Studios. Positioned as a DLC mod for the official version of the game, Half-Life 2 RTX overhauls the shooter's visuals utilizing Nvidia RTX Remix, an open-source platform that can be used to enhance preexisting games with Nvidia technologies like DLSS 4, RTX Neural Rendering, and Reflex. Nvidia wants modders to use RTX Remix for fan-made remasters, and is backing Half-Life 2 RTX to show what RTX Remix can do.

Finnish game developer Remedy has published its annual report for 2024, and included in the document is the disclosure of how much money the company is spending on its upcoming games. This is something of a rarity in the video game business, as many other publishers and developers hide development budgets.

Remedy said the "initial" development budget for Control 2 is €50 million ($54 million USD). As announced previously, Annapurna Pictures is funding 50% of the game's development budget, and both Remedy and Annapurna plan to create "original stories" spanning film and TV based on Remedy's game franchises.

FBC: Firebreak, meanwhile, carries a development budget of €30 million. FBC is a session-based, multiplayer PvE game that will be "mid-priced." It'll also be available at launch via PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass, and PlayStation Plus. Remedy owns the Control IP, of which FBC is a spin-off.

The long-rumored remake of Bethesda's 2006 RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion could be announced soon and potentially release before June. That's according to NateTheHate, who has a solid track record of reporting on unannounced games and platforms.

Asked to say when more information about the rumored Oblivion remake might arrive, NateTheHate said (via The Gamer) that fans can expect details either this month or in April. As for when the game could be released, NateTheHate said it could be "likely sooner than the original June target." However, NateTheHate said the situation is fluid and there is no concrete information to go on at this stage.

Separately, VGC's own sources corroborated NateTheHate's report and added that the game could launch as soon as April 2025. It's reported that Virtuous developed the apparent Oblivion remake, and that it was "fully remade" with Unreal Engine 5 and featuring a variety of re-worked gameplay systems.

Spectre Divide developer Mountaintop Studios has announced that the free-to-play game will be shutting down just six months after it first launched. While the 3v3 first-person shooter received fairly positive feedback after its initial release, Mountaintop Studios says that a steady decline in players and a lack of funds contributed to its demise.

Studio CEO Nate Mitchell explained that the studio explored every possible avenue it could to keep the developer and the game afloat, but after exhausting all of its options, the writing was sadly on the wall for Spectre Divide and its team. "The industry is in a tough spot right now," Mitchell said.

"We were optimistic about the first week. We've had 400,000 players play, with a peak concurrent player count of 10,000 across all platforms," Mitchell explained in a Steam Blog post. "But as time has gone on, we haven't seen enough active players and incoming revenue to cover the day-to-day costs of Spectre and the studio. Since the PC launch, we stretched our remaining capital as far as we could, but at this point, we're out of funding to support the game. This means Mountaintop will be closing its doors at the end of this week."

In addition to being a winner on the PGA Tour, golfer Joel Dahmen is a self-proclaimed ace at Mario Kart 64. The 37-year-old said in an appearance on Good Good recently that he's yet to meet anyone in the world who is better than him at the 1996 kart racer.

He said he played the the game nonstop in college when he was roommates with fellow golfers Nick Taylor and Kevin Spooner. They might have been better at the game back then, but today, Dahmen claims he's the best.

"I still have met no one who can beat me at Mario Kart N64. If we do a best-of-10 races, I'm definitely winning 6, 7, 8. I put in more hours than anyone else," he said.

Late last year, ESPN carved out a place for itself in Fortnite with the debut of ESPN Football Island. Now, the network is adding a second island in Fornite Creative, which will be called ESPN Basketball Island. The two ESPN islands will be connected through in-game portals, and the latest attraction is adding a few new basketball-inspired minigames.

The first new minigame, Dunk to Win, can be seen in the Basketball Island launch trailer below. It's essentially another riff on Capture the Flag, except the flag is now a basketball. Once players have the ball, they have to avoid the other team's defenders and make their way to the net to score a slam dunk.

The other basketball-themed minigame is Swing Shot, which puts players in Fortnite Baller vehicles as they attempt to land inside of a moving basketball hoop located on the opposite side of the court. There's even a new minigame called The Ocho Obstacle Sprint--which is a more challenging obstacle course than the one on Football Island. The Boxtagon is also making its return for 1v1 battles inside of a UFC-style cage. This minigame can still be found on Football Island as well.

In Fortnite, four years can seem like an eternity. That's about how long it's been since Tomb Raider's Lara Croft made her debut in the game.

According to frequent Fortnite scooper SpushFNBR, a new Lara Croft skin is headed to the Fortnite shop.

Marvel Rivals has released its mid-season update for Season 1.5, and while it's a small update, it still packs a fiery punch, focusing on tweaks to The Human Torch, Iron Man, and Cloak & Dagger.

"Following the balance adjustments in Season 1.5 and the addition of the Human Torch and The Thing, we've noticed a surge in the popularity of various heroes, leading to exciting new strategies in matches," the game's developers wrote in a recent blog post announcing the update. "Whether it's a rush comp centered around mobile Vanguards and Duelists, a double-flyer setup featuring Storm and Human Torch, or the classic 3-1-2 lineup with three Vanguards, or even the previously popular 2-2-2 or single Vanguard compositions, each has showcased their unique flair in the current competitive environment."

"So, in this mid-season balance update for Season 1.5, we'll be optimizing the experience for just a handful of heroes to maintain this rich diversity," the post went on to explain. "As we gear up for Season 2, expect new Heroes and fresh Team-Up Abilities to bring an even more thrilling experience!"

Destiny 2's seasonal event, Guardian Games 2025, brings a brand-new weapon to the space shooter's arsenal: Keraunios. This Legendary Arc trace rifle is far more effective in PvE than PvP activities due to the perks it can roll with. Having said that, Keraunios also receives plenty of buffs from Heresy Artifact, as it focuses on Arc abilities and damage output. Here's how to get it and the Keraunios god roll perks to look out for.

How to get Keraunios

Keraunios can drop from any Guardian Games weapons source, such as Rushdown or by completing objectives given by Eva Levante in the Tower for the duration of the event. Doing the Rushdown mode is the most effective way to get your hands on Keraunios quickly, as if you defeat at least three bosses in a single run, you're guaranteed a Guardian Games weapon drop. Keraunios is exclusive to Guardian Games, so remember that once the event is over, you will no longer be able to obtain it. At least, not until 2026.

Guardian Games event challenges also include a guaranteed Keraunios drop. All you need to do is earn and deposit any medal from the games in the Tower event area. Completing the first step in the Best in Class quest, collected from Eva Levante, will also give you a Keraunios. Remember that you need to equip or use the Guardian Games class item as an ornament for rewards to drop.

The new trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 that debuted at SXSW recently has been a huge hit. According to Warner Bros. Discovery, the trailer has reached 158 million views across all platforms over its first three days. That's a record for any original HBO/Max programming, Deadline reported. The network did not reveal, however, what the previous biggest trailer was.

WBD said the new trailer is pacing ahead of previous trailers and teasers by at least 160%. The newest trailer was perhaps the best one yet, showing off the growing rift between Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey). The trailer also revealed that spores are back and showed The Matrix actor Joe Pantoliano's character, Eugene, for the first time. Check out the trailer below.

Kaitlyn Dever joins the cast as Abby in Season 2. Young Mazino plays Jesse, Isabela Merced portrays Dina, and Catherine O'Hara appears as Joel's therapist. Additionally, Jeffrey Wright stars in Season 2 as Isaac, the character he played in The Last of Us: Part II.

This new Void element weapon is another excellent addition to the archetype--however you get your hands on one, a rocket sidearm is a great asset, and this is the first Void rocket sidearm to be released.

Lotus Eater is only available as a drop from Nightfalls or Grandmaster Nightfalls when the weapon is a part of the weekly rotation. At the end of a Nightfall run, it has a chance to drop. Each difficulty tier has a particular percentage to drop Lotus Eater, but the easiest way to guarantee a drop to happen is to complete a Grandmaster Nightfall with a Platinum score. Achieving a Platinum score on Grandmaster will guarantee a drop for the Adept variation of Lotus Eater while it is on rotation, which offers increased stats and curated rolls.

After Episode Heresy has concluded and the next expansion is available, Lotus Eater will also be available to unlock via spending Nightfall Ciphers at Zavala in the Tower.

Blizzard is continuing to peel back the curtain on World of Warcraft's in-the-works player-housing system, this time revealing new details about how players will be able to decorate the interior of their homes on Azeroth.

In a blog post, Blizzard outlined what will be possible when it comes to decorating. Inside their home, players will be able to freely erect walls and create rooms, and further customize each room's wallpaper, ceiling, and flooring. Blizzard said players can customize the inside of their homes however they want by mixing and matching decor, flooring, and aesthetics. New objects made just for the player-housing feature will come with a large variety of color choices, allowing players to dye objects as they see fit.

An example of a home interior made using WoW's housing system.

Blizzard additionally clarified that just because a player's house may look like a shack on the outside, it could be a mansion on the inside with few restrictions in terms of the size or number of rooms. The opposite also applies, as what appears to be a mansion on the outside could be a single room home on the inside. It's all up to player preference.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be playable on Steam Deck when it launches next week.

Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Japan-set latest entry in Ubisoft's long-running series, is the first game Ubisoft is bringing to Steam on day one since reversing its Steam release policy last fall. Despite that, Ubisoft had suggested in a previously posted Q&A that Shadows would not support Steam Deck at release because its specs were below the minimum PC requirements to run the game. Ubisoft took to X and reversed course on March 12. It is now saying that the game will work on day one.

Many of you have been asking about Steam Deck. We are happy to say that we are supporting Steam Deck at launch and are currently awaiting the level of classification from Valve. More info to come soon.

— Assassin's Creed (@assassinscreed) March 12, 2025

That note about "currently awaiting the level of classification from Valve" is important because that will determine whether or not Shadows is listed as Verified for Steam Deck or just Playable on Steam Deck. Valve will mark games as Deck Verified after it tested to ensure they have full controller support and will look and run adequately on the handheld hardware. If games don't meet all of the requirements, they will be marked "Playable" on Steam Deck.

If you have pleasant memories of blasting the Covenant round after round with your buddies in Halo's Firefight, we've got good news for you. A recent update to Halo Infinite has introduced old-school Firefight back into the game, a mode that was first introduced in Halo 3: ODST.

Titled "Firefight Classic," it's a round-based mode where you and three squadmates team up to take out endless waves of enemies. This version of the classic mode features rounds of five waves each, with three rounds adding up to a "set." Your team shares a pool of seven lives, and when they're all used up, you're done for.
