The Texas Chainsaw Massacre first hit theaters in 1974. It’s spawned a variety of sequels and spin-offs over the years, and now two of its most popular entries are finally coming to 4K Blu-ray.

Blizzard's free-to-play MOBA Heroes of the Storm is 10 years old, and the developer is celebrating the special occasion by adding a new hero skin and hinting at the possibility of more to come.

In a blog post, Blizzard announced all of Heroes of the Storm's 90 playable heroes will be free for all players until June 15 to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary, and anyone who logs in before that time will be awarded two new 10th-anniversary player portraits.

The new Gear Head Thrall skin added to Heroes of the Storm for its 10th anniversary.

But that's not all. Despite Blizzard largely ending development on Heroes of the Storm back in 2022, Blizzard's Classic Games team (which now oversees the MOBA) is adding a new skin to the game for the first time in years to celebrate both Heroes of the Storm's anniversary and the recent Warcraft 30th anniversary. The skin, Gear Head Thrall, features a cel-shaded look, as if Thrall took a detour in Gearbox's Borderlands series.

I love weird little guys. It's a truism about me that crosses games, genres, and mediums. It's the reason why, even if I didn't realize it at the time, Toad has been my main Mario Kart racer since I was sitting cross-legged on the carpet of my living room mere inches from the glow of Mario Kart 64. And it's one reason why Mario Kart World has me so excited: It's a veritable treasure trove of weird lil guys.

By now we all know about Cow, the breakout star from the Switch 2 reveal presentation. Everyone loved the outside-the-box approach of plucking a background creature from one stage of Mario Kart and including her as a racer. And to hear Nintendo tell it, Cow was the eureka moment of their whole approach to racers in Mario Kart World. Once you've thrown Cow into the mix, nothing is off-limits.

I enjoy the novelty of Cow, but I've never gravitated toward heavy racers. Mario Kart has always felt best to me when I'm behind the wheel of someone light and zippy with a tight turn radius. So I can respect Cow even if I don't expect to actually race as Cow very often. But the philosophy behind Cow has enabled a smorgasbord of other, equally unconventional racers, and I spent a recent extended hands-on session trying all that I could find. I may have even found a new main. (Sorry Toad.)

While the headlining feature in The Sims 4's Seasons expansion is probably the weather and the seasons themselves, it also included another element that it's tough to imagine living without at this point: a customizable calendar with holidays! While the calendar was eventually added to the base game when the Cottage Living expansion was released, the holidays are still gated behind the Seasons DLC.

By default, Seasons populates your calendar with four annual holidays that are analogous to ones we celebrate in the real world: Love Day, Harvestfest, Winterfest, and New Year's Eve. But you're hardly stuck with just those holidays, as you can make your own new ones from scratch--and you can even edit the default ones or get rid of them entirely if you want.

The holiday system in The Sims 4 isn't that complicated, as there are just five total factors that you can mess with: the holiday's name, its traditions, its theme for decorations, its calendar icon, and whether your sims get the day off work. You can pick any combination of traditions--up to five for each holiday--and there's no reason whatsoever that your holiday has to make any sense. Now, let's get into the details.

Ahead of the Switch 2's launch this week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reflected on the first Switch console in a new video. As Huang explained, Nintendo had an ambitious goal to create a gaming device that was "powerful enough" to run first-party games at home and still be small enough to be used while on the go.

"We've worked with Nintendo for more than a decade, drawn together by a shared belief that technology should serve creativity, and that joy is worth engineering for," Huang said in a Nintendo Creator's Voice video, while also reflecting on late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's vision for the system.

"I still remember the day Iwata shared his dream with us. He wanted to create something no one had seen before: a console powerful enough for big cinematic games, but small enough to take anywhere. It sounded impossible, but that vision became the original Nintendo Switch. We lost Iwata before the launch, but his clarity, his purpose, it still inspires our work every day."

While the large publishers continue pumping out sequels and remakes, Nippon Ichi Software’s new CEO Kenzo Saruhashi says mid-sized companies should be taking more risks if they're to survive.

In a Famitsu interview translated by Automaton, Saruhashi and Yomawari series creator Yu Mizokami discussed the company's policy when it comes to making new IPs in the face of rising development costs and risk of failure. This followed the publisher's March 2025 "Untitled" stream, where it revealed six new titles, of which five were brand-new IP.

Saruhashi notes that although making sequels is the easier and safer option, NIS does things differently. "In our case, we’re more driven by whether our fans want a sequel. If there’s demand for it, we’ll make it.”

Since Elden Ring debuted in 2022, a player calling himself Let Me Solo Her has become famous for effortlessly defeating Malenia countless times on behalf of other players. However, Let Me Solo Her nearly met his match with an upgraded Promised Consort Radahn, the final boss of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. According to Let Me Solo Her, he spent 54 hours trying to beat Inner Consort Radahn, and died 600 times before vanquishing his foe.

The upgraded Radhan was created by Nexus Mods user thebluehood35 (via GamesRadar),and it undoes the changes From Software made to lower the difficulty of the Radhan boss fight. Instead of making the battle easier, this mod increases Radhan's strength, speed, and his ability to regain health before the second half of the fight.

Let Me Solo Her posted a video of his final fight with Inner Consort Radahn on his YouTube channel, and notes that it "might be harder than Unalloyed Malenia," another upgraded boss that he mastered earlier this year. He went on to acknowledge that it took a long time to beat this boss, but added that the battle was "a really satisfying one too."

The Toy Story-like toy soldier game Hypercharge: Unboxed recently launched on PS5 and PS4, and after some players complained about low online-player populations, the game's small development team wrote back to share its side of the story.

"Maybe there aren't thousands of players online. But somewhere, someone's on the couch with their kid, playing split-screen, laughing, figuring things out together, side by side," the developer said on social media. "If that's all Hypercharge ever is... that's enough for us. Not every game is meant to be online-only."

The game's head of marketing, Joe Henson of Digital Cybercherries, told Polygon that fans becoming frustrated by Hypercharge lacking enough players for a good online experience is understandable. But the game isn't aimed specifically at online.

John Wick himself has never come to Call of Duty as a playable character, but a character from his universe is joining the roster today, June 3, as part of the Season 4 update.

Activision has now released a trailer hyping up Ballerina's introduction to Call of Duty. In the video, we see Ana de Armas as Ballerina blasting enemies away with the style and skill of the action movie hero she is. Take a look:
