We all love life simulation games, but many other types of games feature worlds that evolve and change on their own. While players might have some influence, most of the changes happen automatically and can be unexpected. Whether it’s characters going about their day, new structures appearing, or the changing of seasons, here are some great examples of games with dynamic, evolving worlds.

A new FPGA implementation dramatically accelerates the FrodoKEM post-quantum cryptographic algorithm, offering a practical path towards quantum-resistant security.
According to ExpressVPN-an outfit that presumably makes a fine living from such anxieties-one Jeremiah Fowler discovered a database, a veritable mountain of data some 96 gigabytes in size, containing 149,404,754 unique login details. A number so large, one almost loses count… almost.
According to that reliable paper, the Nikkei Asia-and you know how those fellas love a good story-the government’s Financial Services Agency is ponderin’ addin’ these cryptocurrencies to the list of things folks are allowed to trade with. Imagine! Holdin’ Bitcoin (whatever that might be) directly in a fund, traded right on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Why, it’s practically reckless!
Developing a game is already challenging, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ensure it runs well on the wide range of hardware configurations available, especially on consoles like the Series X. This has led to several otherwise excellent games launching in an incomplete state, facing delays, and failing to perform as well as comparable PC versions. This discrepancy has understandably frustrated dedicated fans who just want to enjoy a smooth, polished gaming experience.

Researchers have developed a novel framework to identify communication channel codes without prior knowledge of their structure, paving the way for more robust and adaptable wireless systems.
Fans have been wondering what’s next for the Dragon Ball franchise since Dragon Ball DAIMA finished airing in early 2025. Many hoped for either a continuation of DAIMA, a new movie, or more chapters in Toyotarou’s Dragon Ball Super manga. A remake of Dragon Ball Super has been discussed for some time, and now that it’s happening, it’s a good sign for the future of the series. This gives the anime a chance to improve the animation, cut out unnecessary scenes, include content only found in the manga, and properly build up to the exciting storylines featuring Moro and Granolah. It will likely take a few years, but at this pace, Dragon Ball fans might finally see fully animated versions of Ultra Ego Vegeta, Black Frieza, and Goku’s final fight with Moro before 2030.
Western RPGs offer a lot of great choices, both new and old. They don’t need to be short just to avoid slow moments. Whether you prefer massive, sprawling games or shorter, focused experiences, Western RPGs consistently deliver and are excellent alternatives to traditional Japanese RPGs.
I was really let down when Mariah May, now known as Blake Monroe, left our promotion for a company I don’t believe in. While I respect her decision to pursue her dream at WWE and I’m happy she seems content there, it’s good that wrestlers have choices to find the best fit for their careers. However, everything I’ve seen of her time in WWE so far has been underwhelming, even offensive. The shift from our 2025 match of the year, the Hollywood Ending with Toni Storm, to a standard, less exciting cage match was a red flag. The mistake during a recent NXT kickout wouldn’t have happened if she’d been on the main roster where she belonged, but the biggest issue is the character they’ve given her.
A new framework overcomes traditional constraints to embed secret images within cover images at any resolution, enabling high-fidelity recovery without prior knowledge.
