Dispatch is one of the best story-driven games with meaningful choices I’ve played since Telltale Games was at its peak with titles like The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands. Like those games, Dispatch has strong writing and a compelling story, but it also gives me the same anxiety about making the ‘right’ choice. I often overthink decisions in these kinds of games, and I immediately wished I’d made a different choice with the character Invisigal in Episode 2 of Dispatch.

The team at AdHoc Studio, made up of former developers from Telltale Games, is releasing episodes of their game at a pace similar to classic Telltale titles, and possibly even a bit quicker. Episodes 7 and 8 are coming out on November 12th, letting fans gradually uncover the story. Be aware that the details shared below might spoil the game if you haven’t played all the episodes yet.

You can check your Sanity by opening your inventory and looking at the brain icon on the right. It decreases whenever a light goes out or you hear echoes in the yellow hallways. If the brain icon starts to look warped or strange, that means your Sanity is getting low.

Back in 2018, Soulja Boy had to stop selling his gaming consoles when Nintendo threatened to sue him. His consoles appeared to include software that let people play classic Nintendo games without permission. He tried again in 2021, seemingly rebranding an existing handheld console called the Retroid Pocket as his own. Now, in 2025, Soulja Boy is releasing another handheld console that looks very similar to other Retroid models.

It’s not surprising to see server problems with hugely popular online games, especially those that become viral sensations or offer a fresh experience. This has been the case with ARC Raiders, which, like Helldivers 2, struggled with server issues when it launched. ARC Raiders quickly gained over 350,000 players on Steam, putting it in the same category as Helldivers and making these initial server problems fairly predictable.

Over the years, Pokémon have gained new forms and abilities. In Generation 4, some original Pokémon got new evolutions, and later, in Generation 6, many received Mega Evolutions. Generation 7 introduced regional variants – Pokémon that look different depending on the area they’re from, like Alolan Vulpix. More recently, Generation 8 brought Gigantamax forms, which are temporary but dramatically change a Pokémon’s appearance, similar to Mega Evolutions. These additions have given fans exciting new ways to experience their favorite Pokémon.

The upcoming expansion, Midnight, is bringing many new features to World of Warcraft, but players are especially excited about the new Player Housing system. Interestingly, this feature will actually become available before the full expansion release! Players who pre-order World of Warcraft: Midnight will be able to access Housing starting December 2nd with the launch of Patch 11.2.7.

Fantastic Pixel Castle will close on November 17th, according to studio head Greg Street. Unfortunately, this likely means everyone who works there will lose their jobs.

2025 has been a fantastic year for Obsidian Entertainment, with successful RPGs like Grounded and the highly anticipated The Outer Worlds 2. The studio hasn’t neglected its older titles either, particularly the Pillars of Eternity series, which was inspired by classic games like Baldur’s Gate. The world of Eora, established in Pillars of Eternity and continued in Deadfire, is also the setting for their new game, Avowed. Fans of Deadfire were able to experiment with a turn-based combat system, which changed the game’s traditional pacing. Now, after hinting at it earlier this year, Obsidian has announced a beta release of this turn-based combat for the original Pillars of Eternity game.
