Blizzard recently announced Patch 11.2.7, called “The Warning,” for *World of Warcraft*. This is the last major update before the release of *The War Within* expansion and includes a new story chapter, the return of the Brawler’s Guild, and a first look at the player housing system. From October 13th to 16th, players will be able to test out the housing feature—even those who don’t currently have a *WoW* subscription.

I recently checked out *BALL x PIT*, a cool new game from Devolver Digital, and it’s one of those projects where they’re giving smaller teams a chance to shine. What’s really interesting is how it mixes a bunch of different game styles. It’s got that classic *Breakout* or *Arkanoid* feel where you’re bouncing a ball to break blocks, but then throws in roguelite elements – meaning each run is different – and even lets you build a base! I had a chance to talk with the creator, Kenny Sun, about everything going on in the game. Just a heads up, the interview was trimmed down to make it easier to read.

If you’ve unlocked operators and skins in *Battlefield 6*, you might be annoyed that you can’t immediately change the background operator on this screen. Don’t worry though – there *is* a way to do it, it’s just a little hidden and easy to miss.

The new Battlefield game is off to a strong start, learning from the issues with Battlefield 2042 and returning to what fans enjoy – a contemporary setting and plenty of features. While it’s already good, a few key improvements could make it even better. Here’s what the game needs to focus on next.

Turtle Beach is a well-respected name in gaming accessories. While many companies make gaming peripherals, few receive the same level of positive reviews. The company started 50 years ago as Octave Electronics, making sound cards, but became known for its headsets in 2005. Since then, they’ve expanded to create other accessories like Xbox controllers.

Okay, so *Battlefield 6* is seriously blowing up! Everyone’s talking about it, the reviews are amazing, and it looks like it’s going to be the biggest *Battlefield* launch ever. I’m not surprised it’s already number one in sales – it made over $100 million on Steam on day one! But it’s cool to see EA isn’t just sitting back; they’re still working hard to make the game even better for us players with tweaks and updates.

Currently, *Demon Slayer* is one of the most popular anime series globally. The latest *Demon Slayer* movie, *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return*, has been a huge commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing anime film of all time. The movie heavily featured Akaza, a powerful demon, and his appearance was a major draw for audiences. While Akaza’s popularity has exceeded that of villains from *One Piece*, this doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a more compelling or well-developed character.

Ricard Pillosu and Albert Jane, the creators of Starfinder: Afterlight, recently discussed the game’s development with Game Rant. They covered topics like designing and voicing the companion characters, the difficulties of translating Paizo’s detailed tabletop rules into a video game, and their collaboration with voice director Neil Newbon, known for his work on Baldur’s Gate 3. This interview has been lightly edited for easier reading.

Mounts are always popular rewards in new game updates, and Patch 7.35 offers a lot of them.

On October 13th, Centro Leaks—a Twitter user with a good track record for sharing accurate *Pokémon* leaks—posted several new details about the upcoming *Pokémon* games from Game Freak (Generation 10). They claim the new games will be called *Pokémon Winds and Waves* and will focus on the idea of infinity. The games are also reportedly set in a region inspired by Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia.
