John Fox is an elite warrior and super soldier who saved the leaders of various States. He was a professional mercenary who retired with honor. But now his beloved pet, Milo, has been killed. You have to avenge him!

Introducing BANDIT TRAP - a fresh 3vs1, chaotically fun, physics-driven online multiplayer game for the whole family. And yes, we're including a procedurally slapstick damage feature to really fry, blast, burn, soak, scratch, squash & knock those pesky Bandits out! Defend your home and its treasures against a bandit invasion using inventive boobytraps as a Trapper, or join a team of three Bandits and try to get away with the loot! The levels in BANDIT TRAP are highly dynamic and destructible - which means no single match will be the same. Blast holes in walls? Check. Propagating water that seeps through cracks to flood rooms? Double check. Turn rooms into ice-rinks? Triple check.

You awaken cold and weaponless in a realm shaped by death and memory. The air is thick with sap. The roots shift when you're not looking. And something old is watching. This is the Norse afterlife - reborn as a VR roguelite. Fight, explore, and cross paths with others like you. No voice chat. No usernames. Just presence, movement, and trust. Claim weapons and spells, learn from each fall, and forge your path in seamless, wordless co-op.

Last month, Ubisoft announced significant cuts and the cancellation of six games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake. At the time, there were no indications that Assassin's Creed franchise was in danger of losing any games in development, but a new report indicates that Assassin's Creed multiplayer game has now been canceled as well.

According to French gaming site Origami, the project in question was given the codename Assassin's Creed League, and it would have allowed up to four players to work together on assassinations. AC League reportedly grew out of DLC originally created for Assassin's Creed Shadows, and may have also been set in the same era of Japanese history.

The game was said to be in development at Ubisoft Annecy, the studio that created the multiplayer modes for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Unity, and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Origami's report indicates that this cancellation is separate from the six titles that were swept away in January's cutbacks.

All those steamy campfire scenes are about to get a whole lot hotter; According to Deadline, Baldur's Gate 3 is getting an HBO series. The show will reportedly take place after the game's events and is set to further expand its already robust-story. The Last of Us writer and director Craig Mazin is on board to create, write, produce, and showrun in what will be his second time adapting a critically acclaimed and seemingly universally beloved video game for television.

Seemingly not attached to the series, however, is Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian. Following the announcement, it was reported that Larian has no involvement in the series. One of the studio's developers took to X to write, "Imma bout to crash out on main," while another user asked, "How are they allowed to do this if y’all didn’t give them the permission?"

Set in the Dungeon and Dragons universe, Baldur's Gate 3 follows a ragtag group of adventures forced to band together on a quest to remove their brain worms. No, really, that's the plot. Naturally things escalate from there--gods and cosmic forces get involved, as they are wont to do--but it all comes back to worms. However, what truly sets the game apart--and led to it being our Game of the Year back in 2023--is its excellent cast, sense of freedom, branching story, and the unparalleled agency it gave its players; all of this makes it an interesting choice for a television adaptation that will presumably be linear and could feature different actors in place of player's beloved party members.

Near the end of this month, Resident Evil Requiem is coming to Switch 2 and other platforms. But in today's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, we couldn't help but notice that fan-favorite Leon S. Kennedy was done dirty in Requiem preview. If Nintendo thought people wouldn't notice Leon wildly missing every shot, then it was greatly mistaken. Stormtroopers from the original Star Wars trilogy had better aim than Leon does in the video below.

Now, we can understand Grace Ashcroft missing every shot she took. She's the inexperienced one. But Leon suddenly looks like he needs Resident Evil 4's Ashley Graham to come back and save him, which would probably look a lot like this fan-made edit.

Nintendo may have nerfed Leon to keep the level of violence down in the Direct. Grace didn't get any successful shots off either. But that doesn't explain the crime against nature that Nintendo pulled with this Leon Amiibo design.

Borderlands 4 players won't have to wait until March for the game's next story addition. Gearbox has announced that Borderlands 4's first premium paid content, Bounty Pack 2: Legend of the Stone Demon, will arrive on February 26.

Story details about Legend of the Stone Demon will be held under wraps until closer to its launch date. What we do know is that it will have a new mission with fresh Legendary loot to add to your collection. It also includes a themed Vault card with 24 cosmetics, and four rerollable pieces of gear that can be unlocked through gameplay.

As part of a separate update arriving near the launch of Bounty Pack 2, Borderlands 4 players will gain access to Pearlescent gear, a new tier that's even more powerful than Legendary gear. A handful of Pearlescent gear pieces will be exclusive to players who own Bounty Pack 2.

As revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Bethesda and MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to Switch 2. Unlike some other big releases, Indiana Jones will not be on a Game-Key Card. Bethesda has confirmed that the game will be released on a cartridge. However, some of Bethesda's other games will not be getting true physical releases on Switch 2.

And yes, the game is on Game Card.#IndianaJones https://t.co/jJ0cTDKLLL

— Bethesda (@bethesda) February 5, 2026

It sounds like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a tight fit for Switch 2's cartridges, because certain things like the Polish-language version will need to be downloaded separately. Players who preorder the Switch 2 version will get The Last Crusade pack, which includes Indy's Traveling Suit outfit and his lion tamer whip, as seen in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The Switch 2 version doesn't include the DLC expansion, Indiana Jones and the Order of Giants. That standalone adventure brings Indy back to Rome, where he teams up with Father Ricci while following the history of Emperor Nero, the Cult of Mithras, and a hidden treasure that has a dark secret.

Xbox is gearing up for a busy 2026, as a new report states Gears of War: E-Day is planned for a fall launch--as is Fable--with both games trying to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI.

The Verge reports that there is a concerted effort within Microsoft to release its "four horseman" within 2026, with each one representing a franchise that has been a driving force for the Xbox brand in the past. While a recent Xbox Developer Direct provided new looks at Forza Horizon 6 and Fable, Microsoft has yet to showcase Gears of War: E-Day meaningfully since its reveal in June 2024.

Currently, Forza Horizon 6 is expected to release in May, while Fable has been given a Fall release window later into 2026. The report states that Microsoft is aiming to have Gears of War: E-Day launch in the same fall timeframe, while Halo: Campaign Evolved, which will bring the shooter franchise to PlayStation for the first time, is being prepared for a summer launch. Microsoft is reportedly aiming to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release in November as much as possible, which could affect the exact release dates for both Gears of War and Fable.

If you're disappointed that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's recently announced Nintendo Switch 2 port only has a vague 2026 release window, then you'll be happy to hear a great indie alternative is coming to Switch 2 this spring.

I'm referring to Dread Delusion, a psychedelic RPG inspired by classic The Elder Scrolls games like Morrowind that was previously only available on PC. Today, developer Lovely Hellspace and publisher DreadXP announced that Dread Delusion is getting console ports this spring.

While it'll also be on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, the Switch 2 version is the most exciting in the wake of Oblivion Remastered's announcement. It'll also be publisher DreadXP's first release on Nintendo's latest console.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Switch 2)

$70 | Releases May 12, 2026

Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at Walmart Preorder at GameStop

Announced during today's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12, following the PlayStation 5 release from April of last year. Surprisingly, the Switch 2 physical edition comes with the full game data on the cartridge. It's notable that such a large third-party release is launching in this format--especially considering other upcoming Switch 2 versions of Bethesda games like Skyrim: Anniversary Edition and Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition are just codes in a box, and most other third-party releases tend to be Game Key-Cards. You can preorder Bethesda and Machine Games' first-person adventure for $70 at Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop.

As Ubisoft undergoes a massive shakeup that's impacting the well-being of its employees, the company's staff has said that a recent internal town hall meeting didn't assuage concerns about their futures.

Ubisoft held an internal town hall meeting on February 4. According to a recording of the town hall sent to Insider Gaming and a dozen anonymous employees who spoke to the outlet, employee morale is sinking. They said that the meeting was "an expert class" in dodging questions as executives opted to sidestep inquiries and recycle statements around three key issues: the return-to-office mandate, headcount reduction intentions, and the five creative houses' creation.

Speaking on the return-to-office mandate, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reiterated that the decision was to improve employee morale and team collaboration.

The Horizon universe is getting a little bigger as Sony and Guerrilla have revealed plans for a new co-op game, Horizon Hunters Gathering. The title is set in the same world as the two previous Horizon games, except now up to three players will be able to team up and take on the lethal machine creatures that overrun the land.

In a post on Sony's official PlayStation site, Guerrilla noted that the events of this game are canonical, and that the "story doesn't stop at launch." Players will have the option to pick their favorite character from a roster of hunters, each of whom uses their own preferred weapons, tactics, and play styles. The game also utilizes a rogue-lite perk system that lets players customize their characters to better serve their preferences.

Horizon Hunters Gathering will have a narrative campaign that will "introduce new mysteries, characters, and threats." Each of the playable characters has their own backstory and personal history that will be explored over the length of the game. Teamwork is going to be an essential part of the game, as players can do more together than they can apart.
