Bethesda boss Todd Howard has provided an update on The Elder Scrolls 6, promising it will return to the "classic style" of Bethesda RPGs after Fallout 76 and Starfield each took a "creative detour."

Appearing on the Kinda Funny Gamescast, Howard said Fallout 76 and Starfield were "a little bit of a creative detour from kind of that classic Elder Scrolls, Fallout, where you are exploring a world in a certain way."

As reported by Kotaku, Howard added that players can expect Bethesda to get back to those roots with The Elder Scrolls 6. "We are coming back to that classic style that we’ve missed, that we know really, really well," he said.

Bethesda's Todd Howard has reaffirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6 will use Creation Engine 3, the latest version of the game engine that has powered most of the studio's previous games.

This reveal came about during an interview with Todd Howard on today's Kinda Funny Gamescast (via Kotaku). "We’ve spent the last several years bringing Creation Engine 2, which powers Starfield, up to Creation Engine 3, which is going to power Elder Scrolls 6 and beyond," Howard said. "Obviously we do all of the rendering things. We're really happy with all of the new stuff that we're doing, but also world systems, loading, how we bring things into the world, [and] how we get that detail close to the camera immediately."

Creation Engine is the game engine that Bethesda created during the development of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Since then, it has built upon the engine's capabilities for games like Fallout 76 and Starfield, even if players are often critical of the technology underpinning Bethesda's games.

When Skybound Games' Goodnight Universe launched late last year, the Switch 2 version lacked the game's "camera as controller" mode to allow players to use their face and body to control the action. As of today, an update has been added to Goodnight Universe's Switch 2 port that will enable those controls.

The game casts players in the role of Isaac, a six-month-old baby whose recollections are narrated to the player by Lewis Pullman, who portrays Isaac as an adult. What makes Isaac unique are his advanced intelligence for his age and his telekinetic abilities. Isaac can move objects with his mind, and the "camera as controller" mode lets players guide the action with their eyes.

Skybound has also shared a guide to setting up the Switch 2's camera to get the best results out of Goodnight Universe. In addition to needing a well-lit space to play, players need to ensure that their faces are fully visible too. The setup will also ask players to blink, smile, and frown, as all three of those actions can be used to control Isaac's actions under specific circumstances.

If you've been itching to build a new PC but have been stopped in your tracks by the harsh reality of the price of components currently, the latest Epic Games Store exclusive could be the next best thing.

PC Building Simulator 2 bring more components, deeper simulation, and a host of more options for you to craft the gaming rig of your dreams.

The sequel is exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC, meaning you might be able to build your own Steam Machine while waiting for Valve to release theirs, but you won't be able to do so via Steam itself. PC Building Simulator 2 will also launch on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 next week, on February 26, letting you build your own Xbox on an Xbox.

Doesn’t matter which one it is, if a game spends hours telling you you can break open everything not nailed down, if they start putting locks on things, you’re gonna take that Michael Jordan-level personally. Even in its newfangled Reimagined form, Dragon Quest 7 is no different, you’ll eventually start running into chests that won’t open, and what’s worse, because chests aren’t specifically color-coded here, you won’t know what key opens what kind of chest till you try to open it. While letting Maribel complain at them until they surrender their contents sounds like a grand idea on paper, we might suggest finding a few keys for these things might go a little easier. We’ll show you where you’re headed for these.

The Thief Key

So, in general, you’re gonna want to tackle as many of these chests as you can once you get access to their specific areas, since the time jump mechanic means some of these locations can be locked or blocked off if you progress a bit too far too fast. Fortunately, they’re all very much on your way through the main story. You’ll find the Thief Key when you’ve handled your business in Alltrades Abbey. Once you’re able to roam freely after taking down Cardinal Sin, head back to Pilgrim’s Perdition, and head to the weird little hostel at the north of town next to a well. The NPCs that were guarding the chest here will be gone, and you can grab the key in here. Even better, you can use it right away by opening the other chest in here for a Mini-Medal.

A Washington jury has favored Valve in its lawsuit against the "patent troll" inventor Leigh Rothschild and a myriad of his associated companies for breaching a contract and violating a state patent protection law.

According to reports by Bloomberg Law and PC Gamer, the US District Court for the Western District of Washington favored Valve on all counts as part of a lawsuit that dates back to July 2023. In a minute filed on February 17 and uploaded by Bloomberg Law, the count determined that Rothschild and his affiliates violated Washington’s Patent Troll Prevention Act and Consumer Protection Act, as well as breached the contract.

Rothschild and Valve have a storied history, with the two being in and out of courts since at least 2016. The inventor has an assortment of patents, both granted and pending, under his name that extends to a broad array of fields, including barcodes and QR codes. Many of his companies deal in patents, too. For example, Rothschild Broadcast Distribution Systems (RBDS) owns patent US8856221B2, which is a "system and method for storing broadcast content in a cloud-based computing environment." Valve obtained a "perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license" for it and others in Rothschild's portfolio in 2016. Rothschild sued Valve in 2022 for patent infringement, then again in 2023 over US8856221B2.

Crimson Desert's sprawling world will feature voices performed by real people, according to Pearl Abyss' director of marketing Will Powers--though he wouldn't say whether that includes "100% of the NPCs" as well.

During an interview with YouTuber John "itmeJP" Paul McDaniel's Dropped Frames podcast on February 15, Powers sat down to discuss Crimson Desert. After chatting about the game's DNA, its evolution from a Black Desert Online prequel to a full-fledged project, and the density of the game's world for an hour, Powers was asked about whether the voices for the myriad characters you'll meet are performed by humans or not.

"I'm not going to criticize other games, but all of our voices are done by humans," he said. "I'm refraining from saying that 100% of the NPCs have human voices [...] because if that's not the case for even one NPC, I don't want the internet to accuse me of lying. But yes, all the main NPCs and those in side quests have actors' voices. The game features voice acting in different languages."

A New York Pokemon Card store called The Poke Court made headlines earlier this year when it was robbed at gunpoint by thieves who stole over $100,000 in Pokemon cards and merch. Now, The Poke Court has lost its name as well after Nintendo's lawyers contacted the store.

On Instagram, the store formerly known as The Poke Court unveiled its new name, The Trainer Court, as well as the new logo. The post also explained that "Nintendo reached out to us with concerns about our name and logo. This means we're evolving! Same team, same ridiculous hit rate, and soon, even greater things coming your way."

The store also thanked fans for supporting it support "amidst the robbery and beyond." The Trainer Court wasn't the only high-profile victim of thieves. In December 2025, thieves hit LA Sports Cards in Burbank and escaped with $100,000 or more in Pokemon cards and other collectibles.

The console edition of DayZ creator Dean Hall's next game, Icarus, is finally releasing in March after a delay--and Hall does not want you to preorder it. Also, he does want you to preorder it.

Writing on Reddit, Hall said his personal feeling is, "Don't preorder games, folks." But his commercial brain wants people to preorder it. "Please preorder games, as it's the only way PlayStation [and] Xbox notice us."

Hall is known for speaking his mind, and he's a big proponent of open and honest communication with fans, so it's not too surprising to hear him speak like this.
