Doki Doki Literature Club Removed From Google Play Store After Already Being There For Months
Doki Doki Literature Club has been pulled from the Google Play Store, just a few months after its release on the mobile storefront back in December 2025. In a statement from Serenity Forge, the studio cites that Google chose to remove the game from the Google Play Store as its content violates the storefront's terms of service in "its depiction of sensitive themes."
"DDLC is available on many different major platforms, including iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and more," Serenity Forge writes. "We're continuing to do everything we can to find a path forward for getting DDLC reinstated on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, we're also looking into potential options for alternate methods of distribution on Android devices."
At this point, it's no secret that Doki Doki Literature Club is a disturbing experience that touches on self-harm and emotional abuse, and uses graphic imagery to do so, but there's a big "This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed" warning on store pages for the game. Audiences are suitably warned that this is a horror game, despite marketing material and the game's first hour disguising the experience as a romantic-comedy visual novel.

Backyard Baseball Gets Free Demo, And Of Course It Has Pablo Sanchez
Mega Cat Studios and Playground Productions are releasing the first all-new Backyard Baseball game in years later this summer, but if you can't wait to try out the game's new features, there's a free demo available right now. And yes, you can play as the GOAT, Pablo Sanchez, along with some other classic Backyard Kids.
Though the full game will be available on consoles as well, the Backyard Baseball demo is currently limited to PC and Mac. It includes a new game mode called Backyard Derby, with the demo limiting your choice of players to Kiesha Phillips, Kenny Kawaguchi, and Pablo Sanchez. You'll be looking to hit as many home runs as possible in a limited time, so we have our money on Sanchez. There's a leaderboard, as well, so you can see how you stack up against other players online prior to the official launch date.
Backyard Baseball also introduces a night mode, complete with fireworks, and you'll likely recognize the field from the original games--just with a modern coat of paint. There will be 11 stadiums in the final game, each remastered from their classic versions.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has just introduced some new controller options for disabled gamers that provide a greater level of customization in the military shooter. This is a boon for accessibility in a series that continues to cater to players of all skills and abilities.
Co-developers Treyarch and Raven Software took to the official Call of Duty blog on April 9 to announce a new collaboration with the AI software platform Cephable. According to the website, the software "enables players to control games using alternative inputs such as voice commands, face expressions or head movement, and customized buttons" through the company's desktop and mobile apps. Once you download Cephable, you will have a plethora of new customization options for the in-game controls across Black Ops 7's Campaign, Zombies, Dead Ops Arcade, and Firing Range modes.
Specifically, Cephable--which is a free download--lets you use voice commands and other mobility-friendly options to play Black Ops 7. The developers noted in the blog post that, although these new input options will function the same way as a controller or keyboard and mouse, there may be some latency because Cephable controls pass through additional processing and an external service before reaching the game.

The long-in-development Metal Gear Solid movie that was set to be directed by Metal Gear super-fan Jordan Vogt-Roberts has now been officially announced. Rather than Vogt-Roberts, it will now be directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein.
They directed 2025's Final Destination: Bloodlines and have now been tapped by Sony Pictures to direct the upcoming video game adaptation as part of a new first-look deal at Sony Pictures.
"Metal Gear Solid was nothing short of a groundbreaking cinematic masterpiece that forever revolutionized video games. We are thrilled and honored to bring Hideo Kojima's iconic characters and unforgettable world to life," the pair said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

Pokemon Champions is entirely focused on competitive battling, but a hidden menu option might help you gain an edge against opposing trainers.
Within the Battle option in the main menu is Battle Data selection, all the way at the bottom. Select Ranked Battles, and although the menu might look empty at first, changing to the Pokemon tab with the shoulder buttons will show you a list of the most-used Pokemon in competition.
And that's not all the data you can use to your advantage--select an individual Pokemon, and you can see their mostcommonly used moves and held items, along with their most-frequent Pokemon teammates and other useful battle stats.

Crimson Desert has a variety of denizens for you to meet, from food and equipment vendors to armor and hair stylists. There are some you'll want to make best friends with sooner rather than later, and fans of Pearl Abyss' open-world action-adventure game have determined which NPCs you may want to make your BFF--and why.
On the game's official subreddit, user Flomag posted a list on April 8 of the NPCs you should make fast friends with. Many of these denizens can be found within Hernand, so they aren't that difficult to track down, but the benefits they provide could help make your journey in Pywell a little easier or, at least, a bit more convenient.
For example, becoming besties with the grocer, innkeeper, or tailor unlocks their supply contracts, which increases the number of items they sell to you while providing a bit of a discount. The same is true of other shops you'll likely frequent, too, such as the equipment and furniture vendors. Specific NPCs, though, like Ben (in the Greymane camp) and Willian (found around Hernand), unlock pigs and sheep, respectively. You can use these animals for resources like cotton and food, which are good materials for crafting and sustenance.

Dune: Awakening, the open-world survival game set in Frank Herbert's legendary sci-fi universe, is finally making it so player-versus-player encounters are entirely optional.
When Dune: Awakening first launched last summer, more than a few players felt blindsided by its PvP-focused endgame that required journeying into the Deep Desert map filled with roaming bands of hostile players in order to secure Spice and resources needed to make endgame gear and vehicles. The disconnect between PvP and PvE was made even more confusing due to the fact that the first 60 or so hours of the survival game is almost entirely PvE focused, making the sudden shift to PvP jarring for those who simply wanted to keep progressing as they had been.
While developer Funcom had implemented half measures post-launch (such as making it so a larger portion of the Deep Desert was PvE only), PvE will be the main focus of Dune: Awakening going forward. As detailed in a blog post, Funcom found that 80% of the game's lifetime players engaged exclusively with PvE, making it clear that Funcom needed to "rethink" its approach.
