The popular Gears of War series, which began in 2006, continues to be a major Xbox franchise. Players take on the role of soldiers battling the Locust, a race of parasitic creatures, using guns and even chainsaws. With five main games and several spin-offs, Gears of War is a long-standing favorite. Although a direct sequel to 2019’s Gears 5 hasn’t been announced, a new prequel called Gears of War: E-Day, focusing on the characters Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, is in development. Originally announced in 2024 with a planned 2026 release, the development team recently shared some updates on the highly anticipated game.

Since it launched, ARC Raiders has been updated several times, often with new outfits and gear. The recent ‘Cold Snap’ update added the ‘Goalie Deck’ and ‘Bonecrown’ set, which include a variety of new looks and accessories.

Since releasing Borderlands 4, Gearbox has been working to maintain player engagement with regular in-game events on the planet Kairos. However, the results have been uneven. While the game started strong, player numbers have decreased, leading some to wonder if Gearbox made the right choices with this installment. The Halloween event, in particular, received criticism, with many players finding it repetitive and the rewards unfulfilling. Gearbox is hoping the new holiday event will improve things by reducing the grind in a key part of Borderlands 4.

Okay, so I’ve been playing Universal Tower Defense, and it feels a lot like other cool anime-style tower defense games on Roblox. Basically, you collect Units – the stronger, the better – and use them to defend against waves of enemies on different maps. What’s awesome is that instead of grinding for hours to get Gems, you can just redeem codes the developers release. These codes give you free Gems, but also things like Trait Rerolls and Stat Locks, which are super helpful. As a new player, it lets me get some really powerful Units early on, and even as a veteran, I can use the free stuff to make my team even stronger. It’s a great way to boost your progress!
