Even with realistic graphics and a first-person view, the upcoming farming game Hillshade Farm clearly takes inspiration from Stardew Valley. Developed by a single person at New Acre, the game starts you with a neglected piece of land and challenges you to rebuild it into a successful farm and business. While the idea of restoring a rundown farm isn’t new, it’s a familiar and enjoyable concept.
While cool cars, amazing drifts, and setting records are fun in Forza, what people really care about is which car you’re driving!
Okay, so the Xbox Developer Direct finally delivered! We got a release date for Forza Horizon 6, which is awesome, and a really good look at actual gameplay. They also showed us how much the game will cost and all the different editions you can get.

Historically, Nintendo has held two Direct presentations in February: one showcasing a variety of games, and another specifically dedicated to upcoming Pokemon titles. This pattern might repeat, especially considering a unique Nintendo Direct planned for January 2026.

BioWare unveiled Anthem at E3 2017 with a stunning gameplay demonstration, hoping to regain player trust after the underwhelming response to Mass Effect: Andromeda. However, the final game didn’t live up to the initial promise. Following a disappointing launch in 2019 and ongoing low sales, EA shut down Anthem‘s servers on January 12, 2026.

The extraction shooter Marathon, which was reintroduced late last year, is gaining a lot of attention, while player numbers for Destiny 2 continue to drop, even after the positive reception of the Renegades expansion. Adding to the challenge, the major Destiny 2 update, Shadow and Order, has reportedly been delayed.
