Tales of Arise originally launched in 2021, and the sci-fi fantasy game follows the masked slave Alphen and the mysterious girl Shionne on their journey to end the Renans' oppression of the Dahnan people that has lasted for over 300 years. Featuring fast-paced combat and a deep customization system, Tales of Arise earned generally positive reviews, with critics praising it for its storytelling and mature themes.

"If you're looking for a lengthy, charming, and engaging JRPG to play on your shiny new console or PC gaming rig, Tales of Arise is certainly a fine choice. Just don't go into it expecting an all-time classic," Heidi Kemps wrote in GameSpot's Tales of Arise review.

With very little fanfare or promotion in advance, Fortnite just surprised its players with a new live event that took place during rounds of Battle Royale at 3 PM PT on Thursday afternoon--not really when anybody is expecting a Fortnite event to go down. The event saw a rocket saw a rocket emerge from the recently added red rift in the sky, before flying around a bit through several other rifts, and then it eventually landed at Classified Canyon. In all, the event lasted about 90 seconds. Check out a replay of the event below.

THE VISITOR IS NOW ON THE CHAPTER 7 ISLAND
FULL MINI LIVE EVENT pic.twitter.com/2ntX52FSOw

— Shiina (@ShiinaBR) February 19, 2026

What's interesting about this event is that it was basically the same as the rocket launch event that occurred in Chapter 1 Season 4, and which was repeated last summer in Fortnite OG, but this time it happened in reverse. In that past event, the visitor took off from the island, flew through several rifts, and then left through a new rift--the rift being red was a new wrinkle in the OG re-do. But this time he arrived through the rift and landed on the island.

What does that mean? It's hard to say just yet, but after the event ended, a new line of story quests was added to BR, and you can talk to The Visitor himself next to his rocket at Classified Canyon to get a few new details. One more set of new story quests will drop next week as well.

The fate of the world is in your hands in Arc System Works' new title, Donutal. But you won't save it by picking up a gun. Instead, Donutal places players in charge of determining which aliens can immigrate to Earth and which visitors from another world are actually threats to humanity's survival. And a free demo is on Steam now.

The premise may remind some fans of a more lighthearted Papers, Please or the Men in Black films, minus the action sequences. Donutal's action is all verbal as players converse with Earth's new arrivals in the orbiting space station that used to be called the ISS. The players' character is the Chief Xeno Inspector on the station, which is the job that's waiting for you after 150 years in stasis. Because the player was charged for each of those years in cryosleep, they have to pay off a massive debt before they can even dream about going home to Earth.

To work off that money owed, players will screen groups of up to as many as eight aliens at once. Subjects can be interrogated one or two at a time, but it prove more illuminating with duos. Some alien species drop all facades about their hidden motives if placed with members from a rival race.

A once-beloved PlayStation studio is no more.

On Thursday, we learned that Sony Interactive Entertainment is shutting down Bluepoint Games, which had not released a game in over five years. Bluepoint made a name for itself with remakes of PlayStation classics like Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls, but as Bloomberg reports, the studio worked on a live-service God of War game after being acquired in 2021. That was canceled by Sony in early 2025, and with no new projects greenlit about a year later, the studio will shut down.

While Bluepoint may just look like yet another victim of the video game industry's recent flurry of layoffs, studio closures, and live-service game failures, the closure is also emblematic of the biggest problems PlayStation has faced throughout the PS5 generation. This is a generation where Sony hasn't done a good job of managing and shepherding its most beloved franchises, has released fewer games due to bloated development timelines, and has been generally inconsistent with its live-service efforts.

Who knew that adding a skateboard to a first-person shooter would make for a better game? It's an unconventional approach, for sure, but developer Squanch Games isn't exactly known for following conventions. If 2022's High On Life was Metroid Prime by way of Rick and Morty, then High On Life 2 looks to Ratchet & Clank, Sunset Overdrive, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for new ingredients to add to its eclectic mixture. The end result is an improved sequel--absolutely bursting with creativity and out-of-the-box ideas--that nonetheless suffers from a few familiar shortcomings.

Like the first game, High On Life 2 plops you into the space boots of a silent and nameless protagonist, complete with an arsenal of talking alien weapons. The story setup is much the same, too, except instead of hunting down an extraterrestrial drug cartel that wants to turn humans into a narcotic, you're killing off the celebrity propagandists, financiers, and scientists behind an extraterrestrial pharmaceutical company that wants to turn humans into a narcotic (one with much better branding than the drug from the first game).

You're also on the wrong side of the law this time around, swapping your role as a bounty hunter for that of a rogue assassin, illegally murdering your way across the galaxy. The nearly identical setup is an odd choice, but your wanted status makes for some interesting deviations, and the pivot to Big Pharma as an antagonist sharpens the anticapitalist satire.
