Nearly a Month After Marathon’s Release, How Has It Impacted ARC Raiders?

However, the data paints a more complex picture. The important question isn’t whether Marathon took players from ARC Raiders, but whether ARC Raiders could maintain its initial popularity on its own. It also raises the issue of whether these two distinct games can successfully share the same genre. As extraction shooters become more popular, the biggest problem for the genre might not be competition between games, but rather defining what the genre is.

Marathon Teases Major Changes Coming In April’s Mid-Season Update

Bungie, known for its decade of experience supporting the Destiny games, seems to be using those lessons to improve Marathon. They’ve been quick to respond to player feedback and make changes based on what the community wants. For instance, they adjusted the schedule for Ranked and Cryo Archive so players could enjoy both modes each week without having to choose. Previously, both were available only on weekends, but now Ranked appears earlier in the week, followed by Cryo Archive. Beyond these quick fixes, Bungie is also planning a larger update later this month.

Take-Two’s AI Team Hit with Layoffs

Take-Two Interactive, the company behind games like GTA 6 and Borderlands 4, has had a complex stance on artificial intelligence. While CEO Strauss Zelnick has assured investors the company is embracing generative AI, he’s also voiced concerns about its use in game development. Despite having an AI team in place since at least early 2025, the future of that team is now unclear.

Best Masterpiece Naruto Games

Some Naruto games recreate the anime’s most exciting fights with stunning visuals, while others let you immerse yourself in the world by exploring, completing quests, and getting to know the characters. When done well, this balance creates a truly captivating experience. It’s this balance – between action and exploration – that distinguishes a good Naruto game from a truly unforgettable one. The most beloved games consistently deliver high quality and avoid feeling either hurried or monotonous.

Exodus vs. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn – Mass Effect-Like Games Are Set to Dominate 2027

To truly capture the spirit of the original Mass Effect trilogy, a game needs to excel in four key areas: creating a believable world, writing engaging dialogue, developing memorable companions, and offering satisfying combat. While it’s too early to say if Exodus and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will fully achieve this, they currently appear to be the closest contenders yet. With Exodus being developed by former BioWare staff and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn directly inspired by Mass Effect, 2027 looks promising for fans of the iconic sci-fi RPG series.

8 Best Anime That Need A Modern Remake

Lots of popular shows are being remade, and there are several great anime series that could also benefit from a fresh start. In fact, some are already in the works – for example, a new version of One Piece is coming soon.

PlayStation Plus Still Hasn’t Delivered on a Promise It Made in 2025, But That’s a Good Thing

The recent update for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered caused some issues with music, subtitles, and introduced AI skins, but a follow-up update on March 31 fixed many of these problems. This timing was fortunate, especially with the game now available on PS Plus Essential, making it a good value for subscribers. However, the real issue isn’t the game’s quality – it’s that these remasters contradict Sony’s previous statements about PS4 games on PS Plus.

This is Officially The Best Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Starter on Switch

With rumors suggesting Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire will come to Switch, it’s likely they’ll be simple ports, similar to FireRed and LeafGreen. The recent Kanto remakes on Switch had minimal changes – mostly bug fixes, and didn’t even address all the original glitches, like mail duplication or issues with Legendary Pokemon. Because of this straightforward approach to remaking older games, it’s fairly easy to predict which starter Pokemon will be the best choice in the Switch version of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire.

Dragon Ball: 6 Match-Ups Vegeta Would 100% Lose

Ultra Ego was a fantastic addition to the Dragon Ball series because it allowed characters to grow in unique ways, focusing on their individual strengths instead of giving everyone the same transformation. Even with its incredible power, though, there are still some opponents Vegeta, in his Ultra Ego form, would likely struggle to defeat.
