The biggest surprise about the reveal of Metro 2039 is how much the game’s development has been affected by current events. 4A Games explained to Xbox Wire that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine completely changed both the studio’s situation and the game itself. According to executive producer Jon Bloch, all their plans for the next Metro installment were scrapped. Many team members have continued working despite being based in Ukraine or spread across different countries, facing challenges like power outages, displacement, and the ongoing war. Originally planned as a simple continuation of the series, the game has now become much more personal for the developers, directly shaped by their experiences and the difficult circumstances they’re working under.

The games on this list aren’t just classics – they fundamentally shaped the strategy genre. They pioneered key features we see in today’s military simulations, like detailed planning maps, environments you can destroy, unique gadgets, and the need for teamwork with specialized roles. They truly laid the groundwork for modern tactical shooters.

The Spring 2026 anime season will conclude the Dr. Stone story, and it’s taking a more relaxed approach to the ending. Unlike earlier arcs filled with intense battles like those on Treasure Island or in Corn City, this final part of the series lets Senku and his friends concentrate on what they do best: peacefully developing science and technology at their own speed. This is mostly a positive change for the show’s conclusion.

The latest Tomodachi game launched on April 16th and has quickly become popular on the Nintendo Switch. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a humorous and unusual life simulation game where players can relax and enjoy watching the funny things that happen. Reviews have been generally positive, though some players have noted that the gameplay can become repetitive and it’s tricky to share pictures and videos from the game.

Look, as a big Battlefield fan, I have to admit the last few seasons of Battlefield 6 haven’t been great. They’ve only added a couple of maps each season, and honestly, those maps didn’t really fix the issues people were complaining about – they still felt too small or didn’t offer enough different ways to play. Plus, we’ve been asking for certain features for ages and they just haven’t arrived! Season 2’s Redacted map was a step in the right direction – everyone seems to love that one – but it wasn’t enough to bring players back. Thankfully, I’m hearing good things about what they’ve got planned for Season 3 and beyond, and I really hope it’s enough to turn things around for the game.

Extraction shooters have become increasingly popular lately. The release of ARC Raiders showed that this type of game could appeal to a much broader audience. While games like Escape From Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown 1896 previously defined the genre, ARC Raiders’ success suggests extraction shooters might become the next major trend in gaming. Sony recently joined the scene with Bungie’s Marathon, and this could be just the beginning.

As a big fan of Mouse: P.I. For Hire, I was so excited to find a guide that shows exactly where to find all the hidden schematics, comics, and newspapers during the Bandel’s Laboratory mission. It’s a lifesaver for completionists like me!

Back in May 2025, Dungeons & Dragons released a preview of new character options focused on horror, hinting at a larger book exploring darker themes. That hint became reality when D&D announced its plans for 2026, revealing that the first book would be Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. This new book continues the story from Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft, but is updated to work with the latest D&D rules from 2024.
