With any crafting game, there’s always going to be that one mineable gem that’s worth an absolute fortune. In Prospecting, one of the most desired is the Fire Opal, a late-game mineral that's worth millions of dollars and can be used to make high level equipment.

This Roblox experience is certainly taking the world by storm. With a wholly unique gameplay loop of digging and scooping sand, before washing it away in a river current to find gems, many are tipping it to be one of the best Roblox games you can play. However, there is a lot of grinding to do before you reach Fire Opal, so here's when you can get it in Prospecting.

This gem, worth a whopping $1.6 million per kilogram in-game, is found in the Infernal Heart, Volcanic Sands, and The Magma Furnace areas. However, despite appearing in three different regions, the chances of actually finding it are incredibly low. It will probably take you hundreds, if not thousands of attempts before you even find one of these rare minerals.

High on Life 2 continues the absurd tendencies of the original and will feature a playable version of Sega's Bible Adventures game.

Creative director Mikey Spano from developer Squanch Games revealed at Gamescom that Richard Kind's character, Senator Muppy Doo, can factory reset your game, prompting a Bible Adventures takeover. The three games included with Bible Adventures--Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, and David and Goliath--are playable during this takeover. You can see how this unfolds in the video below.

Spano said someone at Squanch Games has "great connections" in the video game industry and helped get the rights sorted out to make this happen. When the idea came up to have this kind of in-game takeover with another game, Spano said it was his "dream" for Bible Adventures to be that game, but he didn't imagine it would work out. It did, and Spano said he's floored.

What do you have when you take cozy cooking games with monster fighting? You have the cleverly titled Beastro, from Timberline Studios. This upcoming game combines cooking game mechanics, laidback farming, and strategic deckbuilding combat to deliver a fresh take on the adventure genre. In Beastro, the idea of saving the world begins with preparing the perfect meal.

Set to launch in 2026 on Steam and Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass), Beastro follows Panko, a young fox and chef who suddenly finds himself in charge of a village eatery after his mentor mysteriously disappears.

As Panko, players will manage the restaurant, grow ingredients on the farm, forage in the wild, and serve local patrons. But there's more to Panko’s new role--he also must feed the Caretakers, adventurers who are the last line of defense against looming threats beyond the village walls. You can check out the trailer below.

The Battlefield 6 open beta has ended, and now Battlefield Studios has published a blog post that runs through some of the key changes for launch--and that includes a big nerf for the shotgun.

The M87A1 shotgun was too powerful in the beta, many said, and now Battlefield Studios will make a change to it so it "requires more pellets to secure a kill." The developer was made aware of the shotgun issues almost immediately after the beta went live, and the studio said on August 10 that the shotgun problems were already "resolved" in a different build of the game.

In terms of other weapon changes, Battlefield Studios said the team is making "targeted adjustments to deliver a more consistent and rewarding gunplay experience." This will include a "general pass on recoil and tap-fire characteristics" for every weapon in the game. Other changes are being made to encourage "more controlled tap-firing and burst-firing, rewarding precision and weapon mastery," the studio said.

In a brief developer preview, Bethesda showed off the upcoming C.A.M.P. Revamp update for Fallout 76. This update is geared towards making improvements to the game's CAMP-building mechanics as well as refining the workshop menu system.

As seen in the video below, Bethesda's creative director Jon Rush discussed the CAMP Revamp update, showing off the new streamlined menus to help make finding specific items faster. There are also new tools and new building rules.

"We're getting rid of our rules regarding placement, allowing you to toggle snapping, intersecting, and free-place anywhere," Rush said. "We see and hear you, sky campers."

It's become a tradition for Overwatch 2 to tease upcoming collaborations when previewing new seasons. The latest trailer for Overwatch 2 Season 18 is no exception. After laying out some of the new features heading to the game, the video concluded with a silhouette of Joker from Persona 5.

Assuming the Overwatch 2 x Persona crossover follows the example set by the game's previous collaborations, a handful of the former's characters will get new costumes based on the latter's iconic heroes. For now, Blizzard hasn't shared any further details about the new collaboration or when it will launch in-game. Some of the previous collaborations have given Overwatch 2 heroes costumes from G.I. Joe, Transformers, Street Fighter, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

In the meantime, Blizzard is spreading the word about Season 18's Stadium Quick Play, which will feature shorter match times, a quicker item economy, and cross-play support. Winston, Brigitte, and Pharah will be available at the launch of Stadium Quick Play, with Tracer slated to arrive mid-season.

Forza Horizon 6 hasn't even been officially announced by Microsoft, and yet, a possible leak might have revealed the racing game's setting: Japan. An Australian car import company reportedly posted and then deleted an image on Instagram that showed a developer scanning Japanese kei cars.

The Cult and Classic post was spotted on the subreddit Gaming Leaks and Rumours, with Forza Horizon fans extrapolating that the Japanese kei cars (which aren't found in America) strongly hint at Japan for the game's setting. However, there are a couple of reasons this theory could be misguided. For instance, Forza Horizon developer Playground Games is based in the United Kingdom, so cars not being available in the US has no bearing on scanning for the team. Additionally, why wouldn't the dev member just fly out to Japan instead of Australia to scan a kei car, which roughly translates to light vehicle?

The most recent entry in the series, Forza Horizon 5, was set in Mexico and is actually the best-selling game on PS5 this year, per gaming analyst Alinea. The former Xbox exclusive arrived on Sony's system in April. In fact, it's just one of the Xbox-owned games selling well on PS5, alongside Doom: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Digital Eclipse has officially confirmed two more games for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, as the infamous PlayStation-era spin-offs Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat Special Forces are being added to the compilation. These titles have been unavailable for decades on PC and newer consoles, and Digital Eclipse added that they're being enhanced alongside the other Mortal Kombat games in the roster.

The studio says that there will be a rewind feature to make gameplay more forgiving, on-screen move lists, and a Trainer Mode to help players learn various combos and fatalities. Players can also expect reduced load times in each game.

The other big reveal from the studio was that the WaveNet edition of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will also be included in the collection. This was originally developed to support Midway's ambitious WaveNet online matchmaking service for arcade machines, and it was the only Mortal Kombat arcade game to feature Noob Saibot as a playable character.

Battlefield 6's whopping open beta has now come and gone, and Battlefield Studios is addressing the feedback it has received, chiefly as it pertains to the game's bigger maps and criticism of player counts across its modes.

One of the main concerns for players coming out of the beta was the status of Battlefield 6's larger maps. The biggest one in the beta, Liberation Peak, was popular enough with players who craved the classic large-scale warfare of the series--even if it had far too many snipers--but many were left wanting more. This feeling was only exacerbated by the beta's apparent focus on smaller maps and modes, like Breakthrough and Rush on infantry-focused arenas like Siege of Cairo, Iberian Offensive, and eventually, Empire State.

In response to players starved for bigger maps, which have already been revealed by dataminers, Battlefield Studios has assured the community that "larger-scale maps are already part of our launch package," and they're on the way. The post elaborates that two of the game's significantly larger maps, one set in Mirak Valley and the other a remake of Battlefield 3's Operation Firestorm, will be included in the next phase of Battlefield Labs testing, which is set to continue leading up to Battlefield 6's launch on October 10.

Last year, Keepsake Games had to re-title its upcoming co-op game Jump Space because its previous name, Jump Ship, had trademark issues. Now, Jump Space is heading to early access next month, and the trailer for the game offers a glimpse of the interstellar adventures that lie ahead.

As noted in the trailer, early access for Jump Space will begin on September 19. The gameplay may remind some fans of Left 4 Dead and Sea of Thieves. Jump Space can bring together up to four players to act as crew members on a ship as they control and repair their vessel as needed. Outside of the ship, players can embark on space walks and explore different planets. Players can also go through the game as a solo experience, but it's a better idea to have backup from your friends as you face the unknown.

Jump Space is solely a PvE experience, so players won't have to worry about fighting each other in PvP battles. There will be times when players have no other options than to shoot their way out of trouble, as they can encounter enemies on-foot and while piloting the ship into combat. Keepsake Games has also noted that Jump Space will feature several "handcrafted missions with random elements," which should make each run a unique experience.

When the Nintendo Switch 2 was properly revealed, a perhaps-unsurprising reveal was the fact that Elden Ring would be coming to the platform. The console is more powerful than the original Switch after all, though there was still the question of how it might run given just how big Elden Ring is. Well, as it currently stands, performance might be quite bad, as a demo for the port of the game at Gamescom is reportedly running at a low frame rate. Not only that, but Bandai Namco staff running the demo apparently weren't letting people record footage of the game either.

Nintendo Life shared a video featuring video producer Felix Sanchez in which he detailed his experience with Elden Ring on Switch 2. "It's really bad, and I understand why they don’t want you to see this, because wowie zowie, it is terrible," Sanchez explained, also claiming that no gameplay could be recorded through direct capture or even over the shoulder.

"Of course, you're never going to see the light of this--maybe it will just release in that state, but I can’t imagine they will do that. It was like playing Ocarina of Time. It was like 20 frames per second. Sometimes I was like, 'This has dropped [to] 15 frames per second.'"

When you first boot up Okomotive's latest game, Herdling, it may seem like the mystical vistas you encounter are something out of fantasy. But that’s not the case. The development team drew inspiration from hikes they took while creating the game.

“We went on a few hikes in the Swiss mountains, before and while developing Herdling," Herdling creative director Don Schmocker tells GameSpot via email. "From Medels to the Suretta Lakes, three picturesque mountain lakes located close to the Swiss and Italian border, or up one of the better-known Swiss mountains, Mount Rigi. They were always inspiring and got us away from our computers for a bit."

Hikes along the Suretta Lakes and up Mount Rigi inspired Herdling, a magical adventure where players guide strange, mythical creatures across magical mountain landscapes. The team’s goal was to capture the feeling of wandering and exploring while herding--and to make it feel natural rather than mechanical.

Hollow Knight: Silksong isn't even out yet and its developers, who have been reluctant to speak about the game over the last six years, are already talking about expansions to the heavily anticipated game.

In a Bloomberg interview about Silksong's lengthy development cycle, Team Cherry's founding duo--co-directors Ari Gibson and William Pellen--admitted that while the game's imminent launch on September 4 "is obviously exciting," they are just as excited for what it is set to come to come to the game afterwards.

Gibson added, "The most interesting thing now is that we can add to it next. We've got a plan. Admittedly, some of the plans for that stuff are kind of ambitious as well, but hopefully we can achieve some of it."

Hollow Knight Silksong will officially launch for PC and console on September 4. In a special presentation, developer Team Cherry revealed the official release date for its long-in-development game. While the last couple of years have been full of rumors--and summoning circles--regarding the game, recent months have seen new updates for the follow-up to the hit indie game Hollow Knight.

Tied to the release of the game is the ROG Xbox Ally, a handheld gaming PC set to launch on October 16. Team Cherry said that it was aiming to ship the game in time for the launch of the new Xbox hardware during the holiday season, and it will also be available through Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release.

Currently, Silksong has made its grand return to Gamescom, and there are already long lines snaking through the Koelnmesse for a chance to play the highly anticipated game.

It's not long until Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 finally comes out--something that seems like an achievement in its own right given its almost-cancellation, multiple delays, and layoffs at developer The Chinese Room. That impending release does appear to come with a small caveat, however. As reported by Eurogamer, while the base game will feature four clan types, there are two more that will be available at launch--as long as you're willing to pay for them.

These two extra clans, Lasombra and Toreador, will come as part of the Shadows and Silk add-on pack, which will set you back $22, and it seems like there's no other way to get them. Eurogamer notes how one big issue here is that not only do clans affect how you play, but even shape the difficulty of your playthrough. The original Bloodlines also notably features seven clans in total.

While attending Gamescom, Rock Paper Shotgun had the opportunity to speak to The Chinese Room and asked about the decision to turn these clans into DLC as opposed to including them in the base game. The simple answer is just that the new clans were additional work on top of the developer's original plans for the game. This additional work occasionally came at publisher Paradox's request, so the overall argument is that it's fair to sell them separately because it was extra work.

Glen Schofield, the director of 2022's The Callisto Protocol, has shared the one thing he would have changed for the game--and it was not delaying the game.

Speaking to The Game Business, Schofield said his bosses at Korean publisher Krafton mandated that The Callisto Protocol launch in December so it could release at a strategic time for its shareholders.

"I don't like when the politics get in the way, which they did with Krafton," he said. "There was no doubt about it. They told me that the game has to ship in December because of the Korean stock market. I should have just shut it down right there. I'm mad of myself on that one."

Kaitlyn Dever's portrayal of Abby in Season 2 of HBO's The Last of Us sparked both critical acclaim and intense fan scrutiny, culminating in an Emmy nomination (one of the show's overall 16). Dever took on the role during one of the most difficult periods in her life, navigating profound personal grief while stepping into one of gaming's most controversial characters.

In a recent interview with Deadline, Dever revealed that her introduction to Abby began with her father's enthusiasm for the character, which helped shape her performance, later fueled by loss and resilience.

"It was actually my dad's thoughts and opinions on Abby that were way stronger than mine," she said. Long before being approached about the role, he urged her to watch the end of the second game: "You need to sit down, and you just need to watch this."
