Ever since the first trailer – and even from early leaks – fans knew Forza Horizon 6 would take place in Japan. Playground Games gave us glimpses of different Japanese landscapes earlier this year, showing off coasts, mountains, and plains. Last month, they finally unveiled the complete game map, which is massive and includes a wide variety of environments, from the bright city streets of Tokyo to winding country roads. It seems there’s something for every type of driver. The game’s multiplayer features have also just been fully detailed.

Naughty Dog first became famous in the late 1990s with popular video game characters like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter. Since then, they’ve become a leading game studio for PlayStation, primarily focusing on the Uncharted and The Last of Us series for almost twenty years. Now, they’re preparing to release a brand new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which will be exclusive to the PS5. While the game was first shown with a stunning trailer at The Game Awards 2024, Naughty Dog hasn’t shared many details about it since.

This guide will help you quickly figure out whether to buy LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight right away, or wait. We cover the game’s release date, when you can start playing early, which platforms it’s available on, and the differences between the Standard and Deluxe Editions.

Along with this news, the game has just been updated with patch 7.5, marking the end of the story arc in the city of Tural and introducing our next major adventure. Square Enix has announced one last main story patch, 7.56, scheduled for release on September 8, 2026. However, the latest quests have already explained where we’re going next – The Fourth – and how we’ll get there.

This week, Embark released the biggest update yet for ARC Raiders, called Riven Tides. It’s the final update planned for the game’s current roadmap. While past updates added things like new map challenges and weapons, Riven Tides introduces a completely new map and a powerful new enemy. This coastal map is smaller than previous areas like Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds, but it’s also the most dangerous, packed with familiar enemies like Wasps, Fireflies, Hornets, and Leapers, as well as the brand-new Turbine.

Things change quickly, and that includes the availability of free games in May 2026. On PC, these free offers usually only last a few days, making it easy to miss them. For example, the Epic Games Store is currently giving away Hogwarts Legacy until May 3rd, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on that! Make sure to check them out before they’re gone.

Digiphile is a newer website, launched in November 2025 by the team behind Humble Bundle, and it’s quickly become a reliable source for game and media bundles. They focus on quality over quantity, carefully selecting each game to ensure it’s worthwhile – specifically, titles that showcase the work of developers like Aggro Crab and Landfall. A unique feature allows you to ‘return’ games from bundles for store credit, though you likely won’t want to with these – they’re all excellent games!

I’ve always been a sci-fi fanatic, so it pains me to talk about these films. They had so much promise, but honestly, they’re a cautionary tale of what happens when ambition outstrips execution. We’re talking confusing plots, especially when time travel’s involved, and visuals that, well, just didn’t quite land. These were the low points of the decade for me, and a real shame. They aimed for the stars, but ended up falling flat with both critics and fans. If any studio is thinking of tackling a big, complex sci-fi idea, these movies are a reminder: you need a strong story first!

By April 2026, most of the developers at Bungie will be focused on their new game, Marathon, rather than continuing work on Destiny 2. This means Marathon will likely see consistent improvements, though Destiny 2 fans might not be thrilled. It’s understandable that the team would gradually shift its focus, and while this update to Destiny 2 is relatively small, it still includes important changes. You likely won’t notice a huge difference right away.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Pokémon Sun and Moon. These games, which started the seventh generation of Pokémon, were a significant change for the series, moving away from many traditional elements. Instead of gyms, players complete the “Island Challenge” in the Alola region. Tedious HMs were removed and replaced with Ride Pokémon, and the story was more developed than in previous games, even Generation 5. This focus on narrative also made Pokémon Sun and Moon the most mature and thematically complex games in the main series so far.
