The newest update to Final Fantasy 14 arrived just over a month after the “Into the Mist” update (Patch 7.4). This update included the final part of the Arcadion raid series, called the Heavyweight tier. Normal mode was released in mid-December, and the more challenging Savage mode launched on January 6. Unfortunately, the release of the Savage tier was disrupted by cyberattacks targeting the game’s North American servers, which caused problems for players. These attacks have mostly been resolved since January 7.

The upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series has announced several cast members, including Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, and Bill Patterson. However, a significant and familiar name appears to be missing from the initial announcements, and longtime fans may recognize them.

Nintendo kicked off 2026 with a surprise release, adding Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to the Nintendo Switch Online service early in the year. While playing GameCube games like this usually requires the $30-a-year Expansion Pack and a Switch 2 console, a physical copy of Path of Radiance can be quite expensive, often costing $100 or more. With most of the year still ahead, it’s likely more classic games will be added to NSO, and information about two of them has already appeared online.

2K Sports has announced special editions of WWE 2K26, including versions themed around the Attitude Era, Monday Night War, and King of Kings.

Pre-orders start on January 30th, and we might learn more about the contents then. However, a recent leak suggests a possible release date for the game itself.

The journey for Highguard has been unusual. After a big reveal at the 2025 Game Awards, Wildlight Entertainment went strangely quiet for a month, which was surprising given the game was already scheduled to launch on January 26, 2026. This silence led fans to worry about a potential delay, but the bigger issue seemed to be a lack of information about the gameplay and limited marketing efforts to build excitement. Despite these odd choices, the game’s release seems to have gone relatively smoothly.
