While powerful PCs and the PS5 Pro offer great gaming, nothing beats the classic feel of an arcade machine. Arcade1Up has been recreating that experience since 2018, founded by CEO Scott Bachrach, and has seen success. However, recent signs indicate their current performance isn’t sustainable.
I was lucky enough to attend Ubisoft Montreal’s celebration for Rainbow Six Siege‘s 10th anniversary! I got to chat with both the creative director, Alexander Karpazis, and the game director, Joshua Mills, about how far the game has come and what they have planned for its future. It was really interesting to hear their thoughts on the game’s history and what’s next!
This year has been fantastic for fans of first-person and tactical shooter games, with both established franchises and new titles competing for attention. And the good news continues into 2026, as another well-loved shooter is already planning more content for its dedicated players.
After finishing the main story in Borderlands 4, you can visit any of the main Kairos locations to find a new Raid Board. For example, you can find one inside The Lockaway Safehouse in the Carcadia District. Once you find it, you can interact with the Raid Board to start the side mission called “The Wrath of the Bloomreaper.”
Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen are eagerly awaiting the start of “The Culling Game” in Season 3, expected in early 2026. This highly anticipated storyline will be a battle for survival featuring the strongest sorcerers from both past and present generations, and has generated a lot of excitement.
Players exploring The Bloom in the Tonnage Peel area of Borderlands 4 will find a surprisingly tense atmosphere, which is a highlight of this update. The music isn’t a typical soundtrack; it’s more unsettling background noise that continues even during combat. After battling through several enemy groups, the boss arena comes into view, and Bloomreaper is revealed in a way that’s typical for Borderlands games. What seems like a simple flower growing on a small platform quickly transforms into Bloomreaper the Invincible – a large, shielded boss capable of a challenging fight. Unfortunately, the fight itself is hampered by a particularly annoying design choice.
CI Games showed off Lords of the Fallen II at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, announcing it will come out sometime in 2026. But before that, they’re adding one last big update to the original Lords of the Fallen (released in 2023), with plenty of new content for players.
People who enjoy watching the lively and funny streamer have been asking Battlestate Games to create a special item just for them, and now it’s finally available! You can see it below.
The Borderlands series certainly enjoys a boss battle against an ‘Invincible’ enemy! If you found Terramorphous the Invincible challenging, get ready for Bloomreaper the Invincible. This raid boss is the first of many free additions planned for the game.
The Winter Offensive update for Battlefield 6 concluded Season 1 content. Players received a free, winter-themed version of the Empire State map, complete with frozen streets and seasonal effects. The update also included a new melee weapon, the Ice Climbing Axe, unlockable through the Winter Offensive Bonus Path. Finally, a limited-time multiplayer mode and Gauntlet event were added, featuring themed gameplay on the Ice Lock Empire State map and a unique ‘Freeze’ mechanic across Domination, Conquest, and Gauntlet missions.
