In August 2025, the game Black Souls launched on Steam from developer Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe? It quickly gained popularity with fans of challenging action RPGs and the RPG Maker engine.

Now, the developer has released a sequel within the same year, continuing the dark and gritty storytelling with even more graphic elements.

With ARC Raiders gaining popularity, many new players are discovering the game daily. If you’re new to the Trials system, don’t worry – it’s straightforward and a great way to get weekly rewards. Each challenge lets you earn up to three stars, unlocking Uncommon, Rare, and Epic packs based on your performance. Trials also feature a community leaderboard where players compete for top rankings. The higher you climb on the leaderboard each week, the better your rank and the more rewards – like exclusive cosmetic items – you’ll receive.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has done a great job setting up a compelling new group of villains. The previous series highlighted the members of Kara, but now the story centers on the Shinju. As fans know, the Shinju are incredibly powerful beings created from the Ten Tails by giving it a mind of its own. Code was responsible for creating them, and now Boruto viewers can anticipate seeing these formidable villains in action.

I’ve put together a list of 15 games that I think look particularly promising. They seem like they could really push the boundaries of what RTS can be, whether it’s through smarter ways to control units, better base-building, more complex logistics, or just a fantastic story.

New Game Plus modes are becoming common in many games, not just role-playing games. Usually, starting a new game after finishing one doesn’t change the story, but some games coming out in 2025 are experimenting with this. The changes vary in how significant they are, but readers can continue without fear of spoilers.

Recently, players have begun to find members of the Black Division and RUAF, a new faction, appearing on several maps, notably Factory. Currently, these encounters are limited to the PvE mode, leading many to speculate that Battlestate Games is using PvE as a testing ground before introducing them to player-versus-player combat.

So, FaZe Vegas, LA Thieves, OpTic Texas, and Gentle Mates were all competing, but honestly, I was shocked when Gentle Mates actually won! It was a real surprise to see them take home the trophy – digitally, of course.

The championship match between Team Liquid Brazil and Shopify Rebellion Gold was incredibly exciting, showcasing two of the best teams in the Game Changers competition. The VALORANT series that followed was a real battle.
