Mike Booth has had an interesting career path, starting at Valve before moving to Blizzard and eventually landing at Bad Robot. This isn’t the first time reports have surfaced about a partnership between the two. JJ Abrams announced Bad Robot’s entry into video games back in 2018, and by late 2020, Mike Booth was confirmed as the head of their gaming division. While a new game was planned under Booth’s leadership, details have been scarce – until recently.

PC gamers have been hit hard by a sudden shortage and price increase in RAM. OpenAI’s plans to grow its AI server network led RAM manufacturers to prioritize their projects, leaving less supply for consumers. Since October, the cost of both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM has dramatically increased – kits that used to cost less than $100 in most of 2025 have now roughly tripled in price.

While much of Octopath Traveler Zero is meant to be discovered through gameplay, this guide offers a helpful introduction to the core mechanics and provides some tips to help you enjoy a smoother adventure.

The Battlefield series has faced some challenges recently. After Battlefield 2042 wasn’t well-received, there was a lot of pressure on Battlefield 6. Thankfully, DICE largely returned to what made the series successful. While Battlefield 6 feels more realistic and familiar compared to 2042, it doesn’t quite capture the same immersive and gritty realism that still makes Battlefield 1 so popular, even years later.

The movie’s success continued when it won Crunchyroll’s Anime Film of the Year award in 2024, adding to its already impressive achievements.

For years, Xbox fans have been hoping for a new installment in the Banjo-Kazooie series, but Microsoft hasn’t prioritized it. Since acquiring Rare in 2002, only one main Banjo-Kazooie game, Nuts & Bolts, was released – a good Xbox 360 exclusive that left players wanting more. While the original three games were included in the 2015 Rare Replay collection, fans have waited 17 years for any new content. During that time, Rare has focused on other projects, including Kinect Sports and the very successful Sea of Thieves.

Despite a stellar cast including Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield, Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt is shaping up to be a major letdown. The $80 million drama failed to earn back its production costs in theaters, but it might find an audience on Amazon Prime Video. Is it worth your time to watch?

It’s been a long wait for fans of Total War: Medieval – the last game came out in 2006. But now, a new version, Medieval 3, has been announced! The developers recently revealed a lot of information about the game through a blog post and trailer.

Embark Studios was founded in 2018 by people who previously worked on the popular Battlefield series, along with other experienced game developers. Their first game, The Finals, did well, and this year they released ARC Raiders, a shooter where players try to extract items. Even though ARC Raiders came out between new releases in the massive Battlefield and Call of Duty franchises, it’s become a huge hit on Steam. The game consistently ranks among the platform’s most-played titles, with around 300,000 to 400,000 players online at peak times – more than games like Battlefield 6, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty.
