Digital Sun's Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault launched in early access for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on November 19. The PC version of the highly anticipated Zelda-inspired roguelike is already seeing a nice discount over on Fanatical. You can pick it up for $20.09, saving you nearly $10 off the $30 launch price. This is the lowest price for the game so far, as Steam is offering the game for $24.89. Note that buying the game at Fanatical gets you an official Steam key.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is the follow-up to the original Moonlighter, which launched in 2018, and offers the same mix of cozy shop sim and action-Roguelike gameplay its predecessor is known for. This time, however, you traverse its regions in a 3D isometric perspective, instead of the top-down 2D view of the first game. The new visual style and new gameplay mechanics also come with expanded accessibility options compared to the original.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault may be on sale on Steam through Fanatical, but it launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S as well, where it's available day one if you're an Xbox GamePass subscriber.

The original Moonlighter came out in May 2018 to critical acclaim, and if you're a fan of 16-bit retro art styles, then this is the game for you. Fanatical also has the original on sale if you're curious about checking out the series' roots. It's currently down to $14.69 (was $20) for the PC version.

Ken Levine's Judas has been in development for a very long time, and it will be his first major project since BioShock Infinite's Burial At Sea DLC in 2014. A few of the gameplay elements we've seen from Judas greatly resemble BioShock's interface. But according to Levine, his team doesn't think of it as a first-person shooter. Instead, he called it a "Judas simulator," since the main character's name is Judas.

"Judas ... understands machines in a way she can never understand people," wrote Levin in a developer's blog shared on PlayStation's official site. "That became her greatest strength… and greatest weakness. We put her in a science fiction world, a colony ship filled with robots--a futuristic setting that makes someone like her extremely powerful. But it's also a world where personal success hinges on how well you can conform to the rules, because dissent would lead to the failure of the mission. That makes her an outlaw, a pariah--a Judas. That tension at the heart of the character came to inform everything about the game, which we stopped thinking of as an FPS and started calling a 'Judas Simulator.' Everything comes back to that core idea of you interacting with the world as Judas."

Levine noted that Judas isn't overly fond of other people, but the game's narrative forces her to pick between three different leaders on the colony space ship called The Mayflower. Players' choices as Judas will determine which of the three will call her an ally, while the others condemn her as an enemy.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion launches digitally on PC and console next month, but those holding out for a physical release will need to hold out a bit longer. The PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch 2, and Switch physical editions of the game launch on March 13, 2026, but the upshot is that fans can preorder the game now at Best Buy and GameStop. While there are no preorder bonuses announced, you can secure copies of the $40 Standard Edition (or $50 on Switch 2) and $60 Deluxe Edition (or $70 on Switch 2), with the latter including extra content like a steelbook case, a poster, art cards, and a sticker sheet. Walmart is also listing preorders, but all versions are currently sold out, so we recommend preordering at one of the other retailers soon in case it sells out there as well.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion Deluxe Edition $60 | Releases March 13, 2026

The Deluxe Edition of Marvel Cosmic Invasion includes the full game and a selection of physical collectibles. Here's a rundown of everything included:

• Marvel Cosmic Invasion base game

Marvel Cosmic Invasion Deluxe Edition is available on PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch 2, and Switch. Note that the Switch 2 version costs $70, which is $10 more than on the other platforms, but it includes the full game on the cartridge, which is rare among third-party Switch 2 releases that opt for a Game Key-Card format instead.

A beat-’em-up game from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge developer Tribute Games, Marvel Cosmic Invasion sees Earth’s Mightiest Mortals team up to take on Annihilus and his Annihilation Wave. Designed to look like an old-school SNES action game with its pixel-art graphics, the game features a roster of 15 heroes. The lineup includes popular characters like Captain America, Storm, and Spider-Man, alongside more obscure heroes like Beta Ray Bill and Quasar, all rendered in a style that evokes classic ’90s video games.

Bungie's Marathon was reported to have used stolen art, but the matter has now apparently been resolved. The artist who originally brought the claims against Bungie has now announced that the issue "has been resolved with Bungie and Sony Interactive Entertainment to my satisfaction."

No further details were divulged regarding the nature of the matter and how this closure came to be. People are theorizing that the artist received a settlement payment, but that is not confirmed.

The Marathon art issue has been resolved with Bungie and Sony Interactive Entertainment to my satisfaction.

After the art theft claims came to light earlier this year, Bungie responded to say it "immediately investigated" the concerns, and "confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game."

Obsidian has announced that the planned fall update for Avowed is not going to make it on time. The features planned for the update are still coming, but they are now going to be wrapped into a "larger update" instead in February 2026 to celebrate the game's first anniversary.

"This update will include everything originally planned for fall, plus additional features that will make it our biggest update yet. Stay tuned as we head into the new year for more details on what’s planned for the Living Lands," the developer said.

Avowed previously got spring and summer updates that added things like a no-spiders mode and custom map markers. The February 2026 update will include New Game Plus and Photo modes, along with a new weapon type, new character presets, more Godlike feature presets, and the ability to change your character's appearance, among other things.

Rockstar Games launched the new version of Red Dead Redemption on modern consoles and mobile today, December 2, but the rollout did not go entirely smoothly on Xbox.

People who already own Red Dead Redemption for Xbox 360 digitally were expecting the new edition for Xbox Series X|S to automatically show up as a free download, but quickly noticed this didn't happen.

This is an issue that Rockstar is aware of and the studio is working with Microsoft to resolve it. "Thank you for your patience," Rockstar said.

Elden Ring Nightreign packs a solid number of nightfarers and bosses in its base game, ensuring players have plenty to do right out of the gate. But if you've seen everything in the initial release and want some fresh challenges, The Forsaken Hollows DLC adds two new playable characters, two extra bosses, and a fresh Shifting Earth event. If you're curious what you'll need to accomplish to unlock access to these additions, though, we've got you covered below.

How to start The Forsaken Hollows DLC in Elden Ring Nightreign

Before you can begin unlocking the content in The Forsaken Hollows DLC, you'll need to purchase and download it from your platform's respective storefront. Alternatively, if you've previously purchased the Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition, you'll be able to download the DLC at no additional cost.

A handful of new Mega-Evolved Pokemon are making their debut in Pokemon Legends: Z-A's upcoming Mega Dimension DLC, and ahead of the expansion's launch, The Pokemon Company has revealed another new one: a second Mega Evolution for Lucario.

Mega Lucario Z marks the game's first Z Mega Evolution--a new kind of Mega-Evolved form that has a shorter cooldown period, but depletes Mega Energy much more quickly. According to the official Pokemon website, "Pokemon that undergo Z Mega Evolution require less time to fire off moves after receiving the orders from their Trainer, but they also burn through their Mega Power very quickly, making them less suited for long battles."

Like the original Mega Lucario, Mega Lucario Z is a steel and fighting type. Where this form differs, however, is in its defense and speed stats. As the official Pokemon website explains, "While Mega Lucario concentrates its aura into a destructive force, Mega Lucario Z uses it to surround its entire body, cloaking itself to increase its defense, flexibility, and agility."

Veteran games executive and former Nexon CEO, Owen Mahoney, believes the video game industry is on the cusp of a massive transformation--and that AI is at the center of it. He argues that AI is already integrated into many aspects of game development, from asset production to testing tools, and that its impact will only intensify.

In an interview with The Game Business, Mahoney explains that the AAA sector is facing what he bluntly calls an "end-of-days" moment. Costs are skyrocketing, development cycles are slowing, and publishers are becoming increasingly risk-averse, adding that the industry often misunderstands where value truly comes from.

Responding to examples of failed studios with prestigious founders, Mahoney says, "The examples that you just gave were, 'We bought this company because five years ago they made some game. So, therefore they're good.' It doesn’t work that way at all," and insists that the "game companies are really just collections of people." He believes that success depends on understanding their motivation and creative drive, not past hits.

A new report has shed more light on the CEO succession plans at Disney, with a story from The Wall Street Journal saying leading candidate Josh D'Amaro wants to focus more on gaming. The same report also suggested that Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson is not going to get the job.

It was previously reported that Disney's board considered external candidates to take over for Bob Iger, including Wilson. But the new report said Disney is likely to choose an internal candidate. Wilson, for his part, is staying on with EA amidst the company's $55 billion sale.

The new Disney CEO could be D'Amaro, who is currently the current head of Disney Experiences--a sprawling unit that covers theme parks, consumer products, cruise ships, and video games. The WSJ report said D'Amaro--who is "widely considered" to be named the next CEO--wants to give video games "a bigger role at the company." The report said D'Amaro is also looking to integrate "gaming technology" into Disney's creative processes. No further details were divulged, however.

Battlefield 6's collaboration with Red Bull is now live, allowing players to unlock XP boosts and cosmetic items for completing challenges in the main game and Battlefield Redsec.

There are 10 new challenges available now (and three "bonus" challenges), and they're all themed around "extreme physical feats," which makes sense given Red Bull is all about extreme sports and lots of caffeine. The Battlefield 6 x Red Bull challenges will be available until December 16.

The Battlefield 6 x Red Bull collaboration is now live.

The challenges involve doing daring things like performing a combat roll after jumping off a ledge three times, sprinting for 600 seconds, getting airtime in the golf cart, and surviving for 600 seconds total in Redsec.

Yours Truly, Princess Peach Talking Figure

$37.79 (was $50)

See at Macy's See at Target

With The Super Mario Galaxy Movie launching in theaters early next year, it's no surprise there are tons of new Mario toys launching this holiday season. One of the newest (and most unique) options is the Talking Princess Peach Doll, which launched just a few weeks ago in November, but is already seeing a discount at multiple online retailers. Fans can pick up the interactive 12-inch doll at Macy's for $37.79, saving you some cash compared to its $50 list price. It's also available for $40 at Target. We're expecting the toy to be quite popular, so if you want to pick it up as a gift or for yourself, we'd recommend checking it out soon. Note that if you buy from Macy's, consider picking up a few other things while you're there, as the retailer is offering a free Geoffrey Giraffe 9-Inch Plush on all orders of $75 or more. The offer ends on December 11.

Yours Truly, Princess Peach Talking Figure $37.79 (was $50)

This officially licensed Princess Peach toy features over 25 quotes, phrases, and music from the Super Mario video game series. The figure has multiple points of articulation for posing, and you can also press downward to cause her flowing pink dress to billow outward--much as it does when she's jumping in the games. The figure runs on two AA batteries, which are included in the package.

Looking to put together a collection of Mario dolls? Macy's also has the Let's Go, Yoshi 12-Inch Figure in stock and on sale for $37.79 (was $50). Consider bundling Yoshi with Peach to unlock the free Geoffrey plush offer. Unfortunately, the talking It's-A Me, Mario 12-inch figure companion to Yoshi and Peach has been discontinued--but if you really need it in your collection, you can still find it at Amazon for $66.63, which is a bit more expensive than its original $50 MSRP. You can round out the set the the 12-inch Big Bad Bowser figure, which is available exclusively at Costco, where it's discounted to $34 (was $54) until December 7.

All 12-inch Talking Mario Figures

Helldivers 2 on PC just got a whole lot smaller, with developer Arrowhead Studios announcing a new, "slim" version of the game that reduces the game's install size by 131GB.

Fans on PC have long complained about the PC version's huge install size (and other technichal issues), which since the game's launch in 2024 has ballooned to 154GB. That's much larger than the close-to-22GB size of the console versions.

Arrowhead stated in a new blog post its long-term goal has always been to reduce the PC install size, but that now, with help from Nixxes Software, that goal has become a reality "much sooner than expected." Helldivers 2 on PC now only takes up 23GB--an 85% size reduction.

This week, Five Nights At Freddy's 2 is heading to theaters to see if it can scare up a box office return comparable to the original film's $297.1 million worldwide take. Apparently, it's already scared returning star Matthew Lillard enough to believe that the sequel could have gotten bumped to an R rating.

"It's funny, Matthew Lillard saw the movie the other day and he called me and he was like, 'It's so scary… Is this still PG-13?,'" related director Emma Tammi during an interview with Dexerto. Tammi noted that the sequel does have a darker tone than its predecessor, but she wanted it to be PG-13 so younger fans could watch it as well.

"I think the audiences that maybe wanted the first one to go to scarier places will be really satisfied," added Tammi. "We wanted to be inclusive of the younger audiences, and at the same time, we don't want to limit how dark and scary it can feel for the older audiences."

Lego Wicked: Glinda & Elphaba Visit Munchkinland (744 pieces)

$48 (was $70)

See at Walmart

Wicked: For Good hit theaters last month, and if you're seeking an affordable way to bring the magical musical into your home, Walmart has you covered. The Lego Wicked: Glinda & Elphaba Visit Munchkinland set is currently on sale for just $48 (was $70). This set is only sold by Walmart and the official Lego Store--and since the latter still has it for $70, this is a pretty enticing offer. The offer is part of Walmart's extended Cyber Monday sale this week, but it won't be around for long and could sell out fast.

Lego Wicked: Glinda & Elphaba Visit Munchkinland (744 pieces) $48 (was $70)

This fun playset lets you build a mini munchkin house, complete with accessories like flowers, a bubble pedal, and a tiny version of the Yellow Brick Road. You'll also get three minifigures for Elphaba, Glinda, and Boq. While the front of the building features an exterior based on that of the film, the back of the set lets you dive into a variety of rooms. From a reading den and bedroom to a removable kitchen sink, this relatively small playset is packed with cool features.

At 744 pieces, experienced builders should have no problem snapping this together in an afternoon. Instructions are included, though it's also compatible with the Lego Builder app, which provides a more detailed (and interactive) guide. The set stands over 8.5 inches tall and 9 inches wide once completed.

Mina the Hollower, the next game from the creators of Shovel Knight, is "make-or-break" for indie developer Yacht Club Games, according to studio head and co-founder Sean Velasco.

In a new Bloomberg interview, Velasco said in order for Yacht Club Games to remain independent, Mina the Hollower needs to be a success, and if it could sell 200,000 copies, "that would be really, really great." The studio recently underwent layoffs and put a second in-the-works project on hold until Mina the Hollower releases.

"It's make-or-break for sure," Velasco said. "If we sold 500,000 copies, then we would be golden. If we sold even 200,000, that would be really, really great. If we sold, like, 100,000, that's not so good."

The Arc Raiders Achievement/Trophy for killing another player in PvP combat is titled "Crossing The Threshold," and after 120 hours of intentional pacifistic gameplay, when I saw that alert come across my screen, I felt like I had done exactly that: I'd waded into uncharted territory. More than that, I'd found myself in a world I didn't even want to be in. I'd prided myself on never killing another player in the game. Through dozens and dozens of rounds, I'd gone well out of my way to avoid such an outcome, often being slow to shoot first, even to my own detriment. I put my trust in other players, and sometimes it would prove unwarranted. Mostly, I'd resorted to diplomacy, often talking my way out of problems with other players I'd encounter. I had so many big ideas about what it takes to return to Speranza without blood on one's hands. To me, Arc Raiders was this exciting social experiment. How long can I effectively talk down other players who means me harm? In the end, the answer was about 122 hours of play.

The fateful encounter occurred on Stella Montis, which will be no surprise to some Arc Raiders veterans. This newest map, and the first to take place entirely indoors, is an ultra-tense setting where you are either diligently checking your corners or you're soon bleeding out on the ground. Even in solo queues, where Arc Raiders remains mostly the bastion of good-natured and helpful PvE-only players, it feels like Stella Montis is kill-or-be-killed more than the game's other maps.

I was minding my own business, cautiously looting but certainly not planning to hurt anyone, when I heard some gunfire nearby. Hiding behind some lockers, I had a clear view of this fight, except for when it wrapped into the next room via the open doors leading to a hallway. I was still within range to hear the proximity chat of those who were scrapping, and witnessed with my eyes and/or ears a scuffle that took the lives of at least two players, whose flares shot toward the ceiling from inside the hallway. I crouched a safe distance away from the noise, then continued exploring other rooms.
