Diablo 4 sounds like a possibility on Nintendo Switch 2, though no promises are being made. Instead, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson wants to take a wait-and-see approach with a port for Nintendo's upcoming system, seeing how live-service games function on the platform.

Speaking with Gamertag Radio (spotted by VGC), Fergusson chatted about whether Diablo 4 could come to Switch 2, which has been rumored. "I think there's opportunity there for sure," said Fergusson. "I mean, we have Diablo 3 and Diablo 2: Resurrected already on the Switch, and with backwards compatibility, it’ll be playable on Switch 2."

Fergusson added that "Switch 2 has the performance that can run a game like Diablo 4," so technical prowess isn't holding up a port. "I think the challenge is less around the hardware and just about how we... you know, live services on Switch have been a little bit challenging in the past," he said.

Steam is rolling out a new questionnaire for developers that makes it easier for them to highlight accessibility features in their games. Later in 2025, it will also become easier for players to search for games with specific accessibility features.

These updates were outlined in a blog post on April 22. In the "Edit Store" section for a game on Steamworks, developers can now complete an accessibility support questionnaire to confirm that their game has various gameplay, audio, visual, and input accessibility options. From there, developers can self-identify their game's level of accessibility.

This is what the accessibility support questionnaire game developers can now fill out on Steamworks looks like.

For now, this will only be visible within Steamworks, but later this year, it will have more public-facing uses. Developers will eventually be able to share information from this questionnaire on the Steam Store and App pages. Steam users will also gain the option to search for specific accessibility features. The following accessibility filters for search have been confirmed by Valve:

In 2020, solo developer Max Mraz released Yarntown, his unofficial demake of Bloodborne that translated the action into a Zelda-like 16-bit game. Now, Mraz is sharing the demo for his new original game Tombwater, and it looks even wilder than his previous title.

Tombwater is a 2D souls-like action-RPG that takes place in the Old West. It also retains a lot of the 16-bit style that Mraz used in Yarntown. The titular town has fallen to Eldritch monsters and the sheriff has gone missing. That leaves only a solitary gunslinger to take on the otherworldly horrors with every weapon at his disposal. The player's character is far from helpless, but even he may be outgunned by these unimaginable creatures.

The demo is essentially the game's tutorial, and takes place early in the story as the gunslinger investigates a nearly deserted mining camp. Through this sequence, players will be introduced to the game's mechanics and its arsenal of weapons, blades, spells, apothecary items, and magic charms. It also appears to have some metroidvania touches that may encourage backtracking.

HBO's The Last of Us delivered one of the most shocking TV moments this year with Episode 2, Through the Valley. For the general audience who hadn't lived through the event the first time around in The Last of Us Part 2, it was an incredible surprise, similar to Ned Stark's death in Game of Thrones. Abby's original actor, Laura Bailey, recently discussed what it was like working on the game and finding out the truth about that scene mirrored in the episode. Warning: Spoilers ahead.

While there were some theories that the scene wouldn't take place until Season 3, showrunner Craig Mazin didn't want to torment viewers who knew what was coming. Talking to Vulture, Bailey talks about having to film the scene with Troy Baker and what the role of Abby has given her career.

"I remember, on that day, looking in Troy's eyes as we were doing that scene. It's a memory I'll never forget. And the hardest part of it was when Ashley would enter the scene. I was completely focused on Troy, and from behind me, all I could hear was Ashley's wracking sobs," she said. "I knew the camera was going to be filming from behind me, so I was just sobbing, because of the emotions of the scene. Knowing what I had just done, and taken away from her."

Nintendo confirmed that the GameCube Controller designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 will be compatible with games outside of the Switch Online GameCube Classics library, but some issues may arise when using it in that way.

In a statement to Nintendo Life, Nintendo explained that the controller is designed for use with classic games, so issues may arise when using it with other games. This confirms its compatibility with other Switch 2 software, although Nintendo is getting ahead of any problems that arise with that by pointing out that there could be issues. Hopefully, it at least works with games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Switch 2.

"The Nintendo GameCube controller is designed for use with the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics collection of games and is an optional way to play those games," Nintendo's full statement explains. "Since it doesn’t have all the buttons and features found in other controllers that can be used with the Nintendo Switch 2 system, there may be some issues when playing other games. The Nintendo GameCube controller can only be used on Nintendo Switch 2 and is not compatible with Nintendo Switch."

Bella Ramsey plays Ellie in HBO's The Last of Us, and with the show expected to end after Season 3 or Season 4, Ramsey is considering the future. It remains to be seen what roles Ramsey might take on after The Last of Us, but Ramsey is keen to play a non-Ellie-type character.

"I haven't got any specific ideas in mind, but I just want to make sure that the future characters I play feel different to Ellie," Ramsey told The Hollywood Reporter. "Not because I don't love playing Ellie, but I want to have a new challenge. I want to be scared of a project and a character and not know whether I can do it--that's the dream."

Bella Ramsey as Ellie on HBO's The Last of Us.

Prior to The Last of Us, Ramsey played Lyanna Mormont on HBO's Game of Thrones and Angelica on another HBO series, His Dark Materials. In terms of upcoming projects, Ramsey is set to appear in the movies Harmonia and Monstrous Beauty. Ramsey's role in Monstrous Beauty is indeed quite different from Ellie, as Ramsey plays a woman born into poverty with a condition causing her to be entirely covered in hair.

Oblivion Remastered surprise-launched this week, but less surprising was the game's Mature ESRB rating. Oblivion wasn't always rated Mature, however--when the game first launched in 2006, it was released with a Teen rating, which was quickly changed by the ESRB.

After launching with a T rating, the ESRB ratings board had to issue a correction, bumping the rating up to Mature due to "due to the presence of content that was not fully disclosed when the game was originally submitted to ESRB for rating."

The ratings change was partially due to depictions of blood and gore that were more graphic in-game than initially anticipated, but the ESRB had also picked up on a partially nude female model that could be accessed in the PC version of the game using mods. This inclusion--however it ended up in the game's files--resulted in Oblivion getting a "Nudity" label until the offending files were patched out.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was released by surprise on April 22, and it's available on PC via Steam. But the game is not available on the popular DRM-free store, GOG.

In a social media post, GOG congratulated Bethesda on the game's launch, and said, "We'd love to have this beauty on our platform so you can grab it DRM-free and keep it yours forever."

GOG added Oblivion Remastered to the "GOG Dreamlist," which is a collection of games not available yet on GOG. Users can vote for Oblivion Remastered to come to GOG on the page, and submit stories and comments about why they think it should. More than 1,300 people have signed the petition so far.

Stonemaier Games, the US-based company behind Wingspan and other popular board games, has announced today on its blog that it will be suing the Trump administration over tariffs. The company will be joining many others in a larger lawsuit targeting the tariffs, which Stonemaier Games says will cost it almost $1.5 million in additional payments.

With a tariff on Chinese imports of 145%, Stonemaier is facing an extra $14.50 tariff on every $10 it has spent on manufacturing games with its partner in China--most of them print runs that were ordered before Trump took office. With a new game, Vantage, set to launch in the upcoming months, Stonemaier is in a tough position.

The company has laid out its plans for handling the tariffs, including shipping directly from China to other countries, with sales outside the US making up 35% of its business. Stock destined for the US market will be stored in China for now, in the hope that tariffs will be decreased before it has to be shipped, though where games are out of stock Stonemaier has opted to import as usual and "eat most of the tariff cost (which more than doubles [its] costs) to minimize the impact on distributors, retailers, and consumers."

Horror co-op game REPO is the latest surprise hit to take Steam by storm, leaving its small team scrambling to keep up with player interest. The studio behind REPO, Semiwork, is working on the game's first update, and has just shared more details on what the major update will add--including a much-requested matchmaking system.

"The first update will include the long-awaited matchmaking, with server password, region picker, server list, and kick option," developer Pontus said in a Q&A video shared by Semiwork, as picked up by GamesRadar. The upcoming update will also add a new level, which will come with a handful of new valuables, some with surprising gimmicks and effects triggered when players pick them up. The update will also bring new weapons, along with a new mechanic called Overcharge designed for a "more interesting late-game experience."

Also coming in the first update are expressions: essentially emotes that players can use to better communicate with each other in the co-op game. The Q&A video shows off a few including angry, sad, unimpressed, and "very much unimpressed"--though its not clear if those are the exact expressions arriving with the first patch.

Ghost of Yotei has an official release date locked in, as the upcoming open-world samurai game will be released for PS5 on October 2. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the game is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Ghost Of Tsushima.

In a blog post, Sucker Punch revealed more about Ghost of Yotei's plot, which revolves around the protagonist Atsu hunting down the Yotei Six, a gang of outlaws who murdered her family. While Atsu was left for dead, she survived her encounter with the gang--made up of members known as the Snake, the Oni, the Kitsune, the Spider, the Dragon, and their leader Lord Seito--and she spent the next 16 years learning to fight. Armed with the same katana used to pin her to a burning tree, Atsu's story will see her explore Ezo and find new allies in her quest for revenge.

Sony also revealed the various editions for the game that will be available to preorder starting May 2. All preorders will come with several bonuses, including a unique in-game mask for Atsu to wear and a set of seven PSN avatars featuring concept art of Atsu and each member of the Yotei Six.

Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set

$140 (was $225)

See at Amazon

Delicious in Dungeon fans looking to pass the time while waiting for Season 2 of Netflix's breakout anime hit to arrive should check out the manga the series is based on. Following the massive success of Season 1 of the anime adaptation, Yen Press released a decorative box set edition of Ryoko Kui's manga of the same name. Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set launched in December with a lofty $225 list price, but Amazon currently has a limited-time deal that drops the price of the full 14-volume series to $140. The 38% discount is the best we've seen, but it's unclear how long Amazon's deal lasts.

Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set $140 (was $225)

Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set includes 14 volumes of the series written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui. As a bonus, the set also includes an exclusive poster and the full package comes in a special display box featuring decorative doors that open to reveal one of the series' most iconic monsters.

See at Amazon

If you haven't heard of it or caught the anime episodes yet, Delicious in Dungeon revolves around the dungeon explorers Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi as they set on a quest to save a comrade and gorge themselves on all the monsters they encounter. There's an incredible level of worldbuilding in this series, as it goes into exhaustive detail on everything that exists within its pages and it contains numerous recipes for cooking up foul monsters. If you're a fan of fantasy worlds, dungeon-crawling RPGs, or cooking and culinary arts, chances are you'll enjoy the series as well.

If you don't want to commit to the whole series, you can buy individual volumes of Delicious in Dungeon for $10-$14 each at the moment. A very good companion piece to the manga and anime is the Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible. The book includes a wide assortment of illustrations and character background information, plus an encyclopedia of all of the mouth-watering monsters hiding in the dungeon waiting to be turned into lunch.

Lately, the world feels pretty bleak.

I spend a lot of energy these days just telling myself that, in many ways, this is the best the collective human race has ever had it. I try my hardest to muster up some semblance of gratitude, for self-preservation if nothing else. People who are far wiser and more well-adjusted than myself will tell you that being buried in overwhelming dread is exactly what the powers that be want; that maintaining a sense of joy is vital during times like these. In my experience, they're absolutely right. As such, I've tried my hardest to remain uncompromising when it comes to living a life still sprinkled with joy--after all, who would be inclined to live and fight for misery?

I try to spend as much time as possible around loved ones and touch plenty of grass, but admittedly, an element in my attempts to enjoy life and process all of this has been video games. This probably isn't a surprising or novel claim. If you're reading this, there's a good chance you're a gamer and are very familiar with the healing power and delightful escapism associated with games. Recently, Reuters published a study regarding the positive impact that cozy games such as Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley can have on mental health. According to the study, there is essentially "no statistically significant difference between playing a video game and engaging in meditation." I love this fact, mostly because it makes me feel a bit less guilty when my husband catches me playing Fields of Mistria at 11 o'clock at night.

Nintendo issued a subpoena request to a California court that, if approved, would require Discord to provide Nintendo the identity of the Pokemon Teraleaker. "Teraleak" is the moniker Pokemon fans gave to the massive leak from October 2024 that reportedly included not just information about Game Freak and The Pokemon Company's upcoming projects, such as Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but personal information about Game Freak employees as well. The leak also included data from past Pokemon games, including concept art and scrapped designs.

Nintendo owns approximately 33 percent of Pokemon, with Game Freak and The Pokemon Company owning the other two-thirds.

Polygon obtained a copy of Nintendo's court filing, which shows the company requested the leaker's name, address, phone number, and email address. Nintendo also provided redacted images taken from a Discord server called FreakLeak, where the leaker, who went by GameFreakOUT on the platform, posted 1 terabyte of information taken from Game Freak's internal servers. The image Nintendo provided in the court filing showed GameFreakOUT posting a file containing the leaked data and a message telling the group's members to "Enjoy."

Although The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered overlaps with the fan-made remake mod Skyblivion, Bethesda still acknowledged the modders' efforts by giving them code for the new remaster.

Huge thanks to our friends @BethesdaStudios for their continued support of #Skyblivion!
As massive fans, we're beyond grateful for the generous gift of Oblivion Remastered game keys for our entire modding team! This means so much to us. Thank you for everything, @bethesda. pic.twitter.com/vLsuzhdgkX

— Skyblivion (@TESRSkyblivion) April 22, 2025

Skyblivion is an upcoming project by the modding group TESRenewal. Its goal is to remake the 2006 RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion entirely within The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's game engine. It's an impressive effort that has been in the works for several years. In February, TESRenewal suggested that it could be released this year. Shortly thereafter, rumors of an official Oblivion remaster and remake began to swirl.

As it became clear that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was real and launching soon, Skyblivion Project Lead Rebelzize said, "for the community it's a win-win as you get twice the amount of Oblivion this year," of the situation. Earlier today, Bethesda and Virtuos officially announced and released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Rather than issuing a cease and desist for Skyblivion, Bethesda acknowledged the team's work and provided the members of TESRenewal with free codes for the remaster.

The last few years have seen a resurgence in appreciation for Columbo, and if you're looking to catch up with Peter Falk's charming detective, the most recent release collecting Columbo's revival is on sale for only $42 (was $100) at Amazon. This is a limited-time deal with a fixed number of copies available, so it probably won't be up grabs at this price for long. Unfortunately, the original seven-season arc is roughly twice the price right now ($82), but this is still a good opportunity to get Columbo: The Return for a great price.

• Columbo: The Return Box Set (12 discs) -- $42 ($100)
• Columbo: The 1970s Box Set (20 discs) -- $82

Released on Blu-ray in late 2023, Columbo's original seven-season run retailed for $150 when it was first announced, but these days it's often available for $75-$85 (like now). Meanwhile, Columbo: The Return, which released on Blu-ray last July, carries a retail price of $100.

Bethesda finally revealed and launched The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, one of the games industry's worst-kept secrets for months, and caused a few ripples in the mod community by publishing a post that said Oblivion Remastered mods aren't supported. That's a slightly vague statement, as it only means that Bethesda has no plans to develop and support an official Oblivion Remastered creation kit like the studio did for Skyrim or some of its other games.

However, Oblivion Remastered still allows for mods, even without a creation kit. You can download and run Oblivion mods or try to make your own without any kind of penalty or fear of a ban. The game just might not run properly, hence Bethesda recommending players disable mods if their game crashes for no other discernible reason.

Whatever issues may or may not be present with early mods, the Oblivion Remastered mod scene is already lighting up. NexusMods has a handful of creations, including one that restores the color shading from Oblivion's original release, one to turn the desktop icon into the Adoring Fan, and one that makes a longsword deal 10,000 damage, because why not. Early downloaders have also reported no issues getting these mods to work, and that may be due to how Bethesda and Virtuous made Oblivion Remastered. It's a hybrid of sorts, one that's built in Unreal Engine 5, but that still runs on the original Oblivion engine.

Earlier today, fans of The Elder Scrolls were delighted not only to officially learn of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered's existence, but also that the game is available now on consoles and PC. However, those who watched the Bethesda livestream who aren't familiar with Cyrodiil and its inhabitants may have had a question: Who the heck was that Adoring Fan?

In Oblivion, the Adoring Fan is a commoner who lives in the Imperial City and lavishes praise on you once they become the Grand Champion in the Arena. He's technically a "Follower" in that he'll follow you around the world, but unlike other Followers, his contribution to combat is to run and hide from enemies--which sometimes attracts more in the process.

The Adoring Fan

The Adoring Fan has gained notoriety in the Elder Scrolls community due to his zealous devotion to following the player around, which can lead to some hilarious situations--if you tell him to leave you alone while standing on top of a mountain, for example, the Fan heads back to the Imperial City via the most direct route possible. He's so notorious, in fact, that Bethesda created a successor to the Adoring Fan in Starfield, though the spacefaring version can only be recruited if you choose the "Hero Worshipped" trait.
