Hytale will be available on PC in early access starting January 13th. Because many players are eager to try the game—which is similar to Minecraft—the servers might experience some stress when it launches.
Everyone is eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto 6, especially if Rockstar Games releases it in November 2026 as planned. But it’s not the only exciting open-world game coming soon! Forza Horizon 6, Crimson Desert, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and Subnautica 2 are also on the way. While those games are already well-known, there are a few other 2026 open-world sequels that deserve some attention, and we’re going to highlight them now.
Controlling a Tailed Beast typically requires immense strength and willpower, but some characters can manage it with relative ease. Madara Uchiha is a prime example, famously able to control these powerful creatures without much difficulty. Beyond Madara, the world of Naruto features other characters who are even more powerful than Tailed Beasts, and we’ll be taking a look at them.
One of the first things you’ll likely notice about Ember and Blade is its beautiful art style. It uses a fixed, angled perspective similar to Hades, but with a vibrant 3D look and glowing visual effects that call to mind Furi. This bright and dynamic design makes facing large groups of enemies much more visually appealing than in many other similar games, where chaotic battles can become messy and hard to follow. The game also features gorgeous, hand-drawn character portraits, giving it a similar aesthetic feel to Hades. Ember and Blade isn’t just visually stunning, though – it also has solid gameplay to match its looks.
Originally launched in March 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is approaching its sixth anniversary this spring and remains a top choice for Switch owners. With fresh updates still being released, the game will likely keep players engaged until the next Animal Crossing title arrives.
If you’re new to ARC Raiders and wondering about Trials, they’re a way to earn gear and items for exploring the surface. These challenges change every Monday and usually involve tasks like destroying specific ARC enemies, exploring certain locations, or interacting with objects while you’re on the surface. You can try a Trial with each match, but your score doesn’t carry over between games. Each Trial has three star levels, earned by scoring 1000, 2500, and 4000 points. You’ll receive a random Uncommon, Rare, or Epic item as a reward for each star you earn.
Yuta and Maki quickly proved themselves as strong sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen, starting when they arrived at Jujutsu High and began working with Gojo Satoru. They work incredibly well together, and their connection is clear. Although Jujutsu Kaisen didn’t show them becoming a couple, the fact that they survived the dangerous battles against Sukuna together was a meaningful reward for their partnership.
Just like with books and movies, there are certain video games that truly stand out as classics. These games aren’t just fun to play—they’ve significantly shaped their genres and feature compelling, dramatic stories. If you haven’t experienced them, you’re missing out on something special.
The 3.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons changes the game’s peaceful nature, but not through a major overhaul or new downloadable content. Instead, it introduces a subtle yet impactful feature that changes how players connect with their homes, remember past experiences, and view the entire Animal Crossing series.
Although it might seem like there will be fewer updates for The Sims in early 2026 compared to previous years, this could be a deliberate choice.

Here’s a look at what the future holds for this popular life simulation game.
