Earlier this year, Ubisoft accidentally leaked the first word that a Far Cry TV series was in development with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob Mac and Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley. Now, it's official. Far Cry is going forward as television show on FX and Hulu.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Far Cry will be an anthology similar to Fargo, the series that Hawley brought to FX over a decade ago. FX notes that each season of Far Cry will have a new setting and a new cast of characters. Mac--who was formerly known as Rob McElhenney--will executive produce and star in the first season of the series.
Ubisoft's official account for Far Cry quickly shared the news as well.
Continue Reading at GameSpotNew Details Emerge About Fired Rockstar Devs And The Messages They Shared
Near the end of October, Rockstar Games fired more than 30 employees across offices in the United Kingdom and Canada. At the time, Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, said that the employees had been terminated over "gross misconduct." But now People Make Games has reported that these employees' dismissal didn't have anything to do with spilling secrets from Grand Theft Auto 6 or any other Rockstar projects.
According to People Make Games, the issue at hand arose over internal company messages that were shared on a Discord server used by staff members and representatives of the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain. However, the messages shared were about changes to Rockstar's Slack policy, which eliminated channels where workers could chat about topics outside of the office.
The report notes that Rockstar has such tight security that employees can't even check their email unless they're physically in the office. One of the employees apparently posted the Slack changes to the Discord server at a time when most of the other devs hadn't received any correspondence about it yet.

Looking at my past few years of reviews for GameSpot, I've noticed a trend: I've looked at a lot of remakes and remasters. A lot of them have been good--great, even. It makes me happy to see games that had a big impact in Japan in their heyday, like Live A Live and Romancing SaGa 2, finally make the journey overseas.
But lately, I've been feeling like these remakes specifically are lacking something. While I enjoyed many of these titles, there was just something I couldn't put my finger on that felt off. I thought that maybe I was experiencing a sort of odd fatigue from having gone through so many of them over the past few years, but when I played through Dragon Quest I and II HD recently, I was finally able to figure out exactly what's irking me.
So many remakes lack ambition.

Microsoft's next product category has emerged. No, it's not more Xbox bodywash. It's shoes. More specifically, Microsoft is teaming up with Crocs, Inc. for a new line of Xbox-branded Crocs and themed Jibbitz.
The shoes go on sale tomorrow, November 25, so you don't have to wait very long to get your feet into them. The $80 shoes have been "designed with gamers in mind," the company said.
The individual black-and-green shoes are labeled "Player Left" and "Player Right," and include fixed joysticks and buttons on them, replicating the Xbox controller. Crocs will also sell a five-pack of Jibbitz charms, focused on Xbox franchises like Halo, Doom, Fallout, World of Warcraft, and Sea of Thieves.

Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser may have included an advanced AI as a plot in his new novel, A Better Paradise: Volume One - An Aftermath, but he's not as impressed with the current state of the technology. During a recent appearance, Houser didn't completely downplay AI, but he noted that the technology isn't everything some of its proponents have made it out to be.
While making a guest appearance on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, Houser acknowledged that his upcoming video game based on A Better Paradise may have some AI. But he also warned that the technology behind AI can't live up to its biggest promises yet.
"We are dabbling in using AI, but the truth is a lot of it's not as useful as some of the companies would have you believe yet," said Houser. "It's not going to solve all of the problems, you know. We have a whole field of areas we need technology for and AI is great at some of the tasks and can't do the other tasks yet."

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Dice Game Is Now Available IRL
Much like The Witcher 3's Gwent card game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's dice game is now a collectible you can buy and play in real life. Farkle Dice wasn't an invention of the game's developer, Warhorse Studios, but it's fitting that Deliverance 2 has received a branded version of it that's available for purchase.
If you've ever wanted to bring a bit of #KCD2 into real life... this farkle set exists outside the game - a full wooden board and dice, take it on trips, play it with friends. Link below! pic.twitter.com/ROuP4dOl55
— Warhorse Studios (@WarhorseStudios) November 24, 2025The official Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Farkle Dice set is sold by a company called Wulflund, and it isn't cheap. It's going for $151.38, and it comes with 12 wooden dice and a board made from wood and iron.
Many of the strategies from GameSpot's guide to Farkle Dice games in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are applicable to playing the game in real life. But it's still going to take some practice to fully understand the rules and how to play.

Netflix's The Witcher series made a drastic change for its latest season, with The Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth stepping in to replace Henry Cavill in the lead role of Geralt. Doug Cockle, who voiced Geralt in the video games, has reacted to the change, saying Hemsworth has done a "fantastic" job taking over for Cavill and has made the role his own.
"I loved Henry. He was a fantastic Witcher, Geralt, specifically, so I was sad to see him go, but I have watched the newest season, and I think Liam holds up pretty well," Cockle told GamesRadar. "He's different. He's made it his own character, and that's what he should have done as an actor, and I think he's done a fantastic job."
Cavill announced in 2022 that he was leaving The Witcher, and this shocked and dismayed fans of the fantasy show. There was an online petition that gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures asking for Cavill to come back. It was around this time that Cavill announced that he would come back to play Superman again, but that didn't materialize.

Embark Studios' mega-popular extraction shooter Arc Raiders has some competition on Steam's most-played game chart, as there's a newcomer on the list: the free-to-play, open-world Wuxia fighter Where Winds Meet.
Where Winds Meet is the debut title from Chinese developer Everstone Studio. Set during ancient China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (about 907 to 979 AD), the game is this fantastical amalgam of MMO, action-adventure, and RPG mechanics that seamlessly blends into an open-world environment you can play either in solo or multiplayer modes. There are epic sword fights with flashy combos, Tai Chi moves to basically force-throw animals and enemies, and bosses that rival a From Software game in size and difficulty. Not to mention the wealth of content in the first two regions--Kaifeng and Qinghe--that easily contain hundreds of hours of stuff to do, secrets to find, puzzles to solve, and baddies to beat up. The best part is it's all totally free.
Almost everything you experience in Where Winds Meet is free to play. There are premium currencies to buy, a battle pass to purchase and upgrade, clothes and accessories to fill your (digital) wardrobe with--you know, "free-to-play" stuff. However, the action of the game--the bosses, the weapons, the main and side objectives, the minigames, etc.--doesn't cost you anything to play. That's true of future content as well. Since the game's Chinese servers get new features before the global ones do, players on those servers have shared what's coming to the game in upcoming updates, like new regions to explore and weapons to fight with.

Valve will not say what the Steam Machine's price is just yet, and in this information vacuum, people are offering all kinds of different theories and guesses as to what the six-inch cube-like system may cost. Now, Valve has yet again commented on the pricing question, providing potentially the best clue yet, while also saying the company cannot or will not disclose pricing yet due to "a lot of external things."
Speaking to Skill Up--which is co-hosted by GameSpot's Lucy James--Valve software engineer Pierre-Loup Griffais said people can expect the price of the Steam Machine to be close to what it might cost to build a PC with "basically the same level of performance."
"I think that if you build a PC from parts and get to basically the same level of performance, that's the general price window that we aim to be at," he said, as reported by IGN. "Ideally we'd be pretty competitive with that and have a pretty good deal, but we're working on refining that as we speak. Right now is just a hard time to have a really good idea of what the price is going to be because there's a lot of different things… a lot of external things."

Legendary German actor Udo Kier has died at the age of 81. The news was confirmed by Kier's partner Delbert McBride via Variety.
With hundreds of film and TV credits spanning decades, Kier rose to fame in horror films like Mark of the Devil, Flesh for Frankenstein, and Blood for Dracula in the '70s. His breakthrough Hollywood role came in 1991's My Own Private Idaho, and he'd go on to appear in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Johnny Mnemonic, Armageddon, and Madonna music videos.
In recent years, Kier was one of the actors set to appear in Hideo Kojima's upcoming horror game OD. Game director Hideo Kojima wrote online that new scenes featuring the actor were scheduled to be filmed in 2026, and that he'd kept in touch with him regularly.

If you've picked up a Switch 2 console recently and you're looking to grab a game that'll keep you entertained for nearly 100 hours, Persona 3 Reload comes highly recommended, and it's on sale at Amazon for $40 (was $60) thanks to the retailer's Black Friday event. If you don't own a Switch 2, you can also grab the game on PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series X, but like many of the other video game deals in Amazon's event, these Persona 3 Reload discounts could run out fast, so don't wait--it could be Dark Hour on these deals before you know it.
Persona 3 Reload (Switch 2) $40 (was $60)Persona 3 Reload is a full-scale remake of the 2006 classic, introducing new characters, expanded storylines, an all-new voice cast, and a re-recorded soundtrack. The game also features quality-of-life improvements and a redesigned interface that refines the experience while preserving the heart of the cult-classic PS2 original.
Note that the Switch 2 version of the game comes on a Game Key-Card, which means none of the game data is included on the cart. Instead, inserting the physical game into your system unlocks the digital version, which you must download to your console before you can start playing. Expect Persona 3 Reload to take up about 25GB on your Switch 2's internal storage or SD card. It's also worth pointing out is that the Episode Aigis DLC expansion is available a separate $35 purchase on the Switch 2 eShop. Episode Aegis adds roughly 30 hours of new story content that takes place after the base game's ending, along with new costumes and music.
See at AmazonWhile Persona 3 Reload came to Switch 2 just a few months ago, it originally launched on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and PC back in early 2024. The physical PlayStation and Xbox versions also happen to be on sale at Amazon, and at much lower prices than the Switch 2 version. You can check out all the Persona 3 Reload Black Friday deals below.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Deals At Amazon
See all at AmazonOur Sonic X Shadow Generations review called it a "nice enough trip down memory lane," though it does come with some friction due to the age of Sonic Generations. If you're a Sonic fan, you'll probably find something here of value (especially at $25). "Shadow Generations' story is a great opportunity to revisit some of Shadow's most memorable moments as well as past boss battles against other artificial beings that could be considered rivals to the title of "ultimate life form," like the Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2," wrote critic Jordan Ramée. "I was grinning like a kid again when Shadow faced off against Metal Overlord and Crush 40's "What I'm Made Of..." started playing, reminding me of the hours I lost to Sonic Heroes when I was 10 years old."

It's a story about stories, cleverly woven into the fabric of the game and bolstered by rich lore, in-depth worldbuilding, and an art direction that makes the fantasy of Metaphor ReFantazio look unique.
The game received a rare 10/10 in GameSpot's review and it was also named our 2024 Game of the Year.

A remake of 2006's Persona 3, Persona 3 Reload keeps the game's core story intact and elevates it with brand-new gameplay and visuals. Still faithful to the original, Persona 3 Reload makes an already great game even better with its enhancements. Amazon's pricing differs between consoles--PS5 owners can get the game for just $18, while the PS4 version is $20, the Xbox Series X version is $25, and the Switch 2 version is $40 (was $60). Note that the Switch 2 version is a game key-card release, meaning you have to download the digital version to your console (around 25.3GB file size) before you can play.

Atlus had earned a loyal following over the years with its Persona games, but Persona 5 is arguably the game that put the company on radar of JRPG fans looking for something different. The anime art style, rich character relationships, and an overarching story that will take dozens of hours to complete made it a big hit, and the Royal Edition of the game fleshes out those aspects of the game even further with quality-of-life tweaks and more content.
See at Amazon Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army $30 (was $50)Another blast from the past, Raidou Remastered is a remake of a 2006 PS2 game from the Shin Megami Tensei series. Part of the Devil Summoner subseries, the action-RPG features revamped visuals and audio, combat enhancements, brand voice acting, expanded 3D environments, and a slick user interface. Set in 1930s Tokyo, players embark on a supernatural adventure, collecting dozens of demons to aid them in their quest to prevent humanity from being consumed by darkness.
As with other Atlus games released on Switch 2, Raidou Remastered's physical Switch 2 edition is a game key-card that grants access to the digital version of the game, rather than storing the game data on the cart. The game requires just under 12GB.

Originally exclusive to Nintendo Switch, Shin Megami Tensei eventually came to other consoles as part of an upgraded release, dubbed the Vengeance. This version of Shin Megami Tensei V addressed many of the original game's shortcomings, fine-tuning the combat and exploration while adding updated visuals and new story content. Set in a version of Tokyo destroyed by a demonic invasion, players harness this dark power on their journey as they amass an army of loyal demons.
Note that Amazon's discount only appears to apply to the PS5 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game, both of which are cut to just $18 (normally $60). That's a massive 70% discount. The Xbox Series X edition is also available, but is currently priced at $45.
