Final Fantasy 14 is getting an Evangelion raid series, and shamelessly I'm even more excited for it than anything else in the MMO's Evercold expansion
Now that Square Enix has lifted the veil on its brand-new Final Fantasy 14 expansion, Evercold, with a release date set for January 2027, everyone is understandably excited for all its new content – especially the Evangelion crossover raids.Or, well, maybe I’m just especially excited for them, but still. As director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida revealed during today’s big keynote showcase at Fan Fest 2026 in Anaheim, California, Final Fantasy 14 is indeed getting a new Evangelion raid series – one that apparently will “span all multiple tiers” – and I can’t wait.It feels like the big NieR Automata raid set…

Square Enix has finally revealed its brand-new Final Fantasy 14 expansion, Evercold, with plenty of exciting content to come – but something even bigger is dropping prior to 8.0, it turns out.Those rumors of a Switch 2 version – you know, the ones reportedly teased by director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida himself in the past – have turned out to be true.

Final Fantasy 14 Evercold promises to respect your "limited free time" as Yoshi-P teases the death of tomestones and daily roulettes, alongside shared item levels across every job
Final Fantasy 14 boss Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida previously said that the 8.0 update – which has now been revealed as Evercold – won’t be a full “rebirth” for the venerable MMO, but judging by by the details revealed at today’s Fan Festival keynote, it’s not far off. Endgame progression is getting a massive overhaul, partly to respect your time, and partly because Yoshi-P knows you’ve gotten sick of collecting tomestones after all these years.”While there is certainly something comforting about a product that remains unchanging with time,” Yoshida says via translator in the keynote, “on the other hand, with the…
The Boys spin-off Gen V is cancelled after two seasons as prequel Vought Rising gets release date
Gen V won’t be returning for a third season, but prequel Vought Rising is pushing ahead with a 2027 release date.Per Deadline, The Boys spin-off series centered on young Supes at a Supe-only university has been cancelled after just two seasons. The Boys creator Eric Kripke previously warned that there may not be a third season due to lower viewership in season 2 (though I also think the tragic passing of one of its lead actors may have something to do with it).”While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we’re committed to continuing the…

Garry's Mod's "spiritual successor" s&box finally makes a profit after five years in development
Facepunch, the development team behind smash-hit survival game Rust and the legendary Garry’s Mod, has given the world a detailed look at the finances behind its upcoming release s&box, revealing that the game development tool has made a profit for the first time in five years. Labelled as the “spiritual successor to Garry’s Mod,” s&box is built on the Source 2 engine, and will allow players to build and create games inside of it, with community creations playing a huge role. S&box has been in development for five years, but according to Facepunch, April 2026 is the first time it’s…
Slay the Spire 2 devs say the Doormaker boss that sparked so many negative Steam reviews is actually "slightly weaker than the other Act 3 bosses"
The first major update for Slay the Spire 2 sparked a huge wave of negative Steam reviews, many of which skewered revisions to the Act 3 boss Doormaker, who now rotates through phases that Exhaust anything you play, prevent you from drawing additional cards on your turn, or subtract an additional point of mana anytime you play a card, even a zero-cost one. Clearly aware of the feedback, developer Mega Crit addresses the boss in its latest beta patch notes, suggesting the Doormaker is not the statistical outlier it may seem to be.”We are currently monitoring the Doormaker and looking…
New Slay the Spire 2 update reworks Ironclad's most unpopular card and makes lower Ascensions easier
Slay the Spire 2 developer Megacrit has dropped a fresh set of beta patch notes, and I’m liking what I’m seeing. There’s been plenty of chatter in the community regarding Ascension difficulty scaling since the deckbuilding roguelike game launched, and here we see the studio taking another small swing at creating a greater distinction between A0 and A10 difficulties. Meanwhile, a few cards have received reworks, including Ironclad underperformers Conflagration and Drum of Battle, and certain Ancients picks like Neow’s Fury are now far more viable. Opening up the patch notes, Megacrit co-head Antony Giovannetti acknowledges that, in its current…
Yoshi-P won't tell Final Fantasy 14 players what the new tank and ranged physical DPS jobs are, but he will dare you to look at his T-shirt for clues
The reveal of Final Fantasy 14: Evercold promised some big shake-ups for the MMO, but one thing remains the same. A new expansion means new jobs. We’re getting a new tank and DPS option this time around, and – also true to tradition – director and producer Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida is daring you to stare at his T-shirt for further information.”Of course, a new expansion means new jobs, and just like 7.0, we’re planning to introduce two new jobs with 8.0,” Yoshida says via translator at today’s Fan Festival keynote in Anaheim, California. We’re getting a new tank and physical…
It can be a little slow to find your footing in an AFK-style tower defense title, but with these Idle Defense codes, you’ll get off to a flying start. Promising enough free upgrade materials to get you out of Noob-rolling territory and firmly into a position to best Golden Farmers before they’re knocking at your gates, it doesn’t take many codes to upgrade your arsenal. Though it’s missing the tower part of the name, Idle Defense is still just that – an idle tower defense title. Take a plot, place your towers, and watch them smack NPCs into the dirt.…
