The Wuchang: Fallen Feathers development team at studio Leenzee Games has reportedly been dissolved after the game’s director was ousted last year.Eurogamer highlights a report from SavePoint Gaming, corroborated by Chinese outlet Gamersky, claiming Wuchang director Xia Siyuan was dismissed sometime shortly before February 2026.Remaining Leenzee developers were reportedly offered outsourcing work or shifts to other projects, but when the majority of the staff declined, the team was allegedly shuttered entirely pending “redistribution” within the broader organization.Article continues below You may like If this sounds familiar, that may be because the dev team on The First Berserker: Khazan, a similar…
Hasbro is releasing a batch of Spider-Man: Brand New Day-themed toys ahead of the upcoming film, and two of them are, indeed, our boy Savage Hulk.The toys in question are the Savage Hulk Talk’n Electric Mask, which makes a variety of Hulk sounds, and the Savage Smash Hulk action figure (H/T ScreenRant). This confirms that Savage Hulk will be in Brand New Day, despite rumors that Grey Hulk would be making an appearance.In case you’re unfamiliar, Savage Hulk is the version of Hulk that is at his angriest and most mindless. He loses all thoughts and memories, and is virtually…
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a natural fit for Wolfenstein developer MachineGames, not because they’re both first-person action games, but because they both prominently feature Nazis as a punching bag for the player character, a tried and true crowd pleaser.We caught up with MachineGames creative director Axel Torvenius ahead of this year’s BAFTA Games Awards, and we had to ask him if there was an intentionality behind taking on a game where Nazis are the bad guys after making Wolfenstein games for more than a decade. Torvenius declined to say, but he did admit the project was a…
Arc Raiders’ use of machine learning in the movements for several of its titular Arc machines has helped fuel conspiracy theories about the robots learning and adapting to player behavior in real time, despite developer Embark Studios repeatedly explaining that this is not how machine learning works in this application. But the folks at Embark, at least, do respond to player behavior and use it to make improvements to the Arc AI – perhaps unannounced.This has been on my mind ever since I spoke to Arc Raiders machine learning research lead Martin Singh-Blom at GDC, and it’s come to the…
The Lantern of the Laughless Saint, a self-described Elder Scrolls-like RPG being made by indie developers tired of waiting on The Elder Scrolls 6 to release, just keeps getting better and better.Anyone feeling like they might not outlive The Elder Scrolls 6’s development cycle probably felt immediately drawn to The Lantern of the Laughless Saint when developer NerveLabs proudly declared “we’re just making our own” RPG since Bethesda is “taking so long.” Even studio head Todd Howard seems to think the the latest Elder Scrolls game was announced too early, and NerveLabs is swooping in to give us all something…
The retro homebrew scene is full of magic, but I’ve rarely seen anything like this: a solo dev simultaneously building an original game for six different retro platforms. This 3D platformer, called Noah and the Poohloudies, is filled with creature collecting and raising elements, and it’s in development for PS1, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO, and N-Gage. Yes, really. That N-Gage.In a 2021 interview, developer Walfrido Abejón described the game as “Super Mario 64 meets Pokemon meets Tamagochi.” You’re charged with rescuing a bunch of robots, which have been driven mad by an impending meteor crash. So you’ve got to defeat…
The latest Hades 2 update has introduced an entirely new game mode, but you wouldn’t know it from reading the patch notes. I love it when developers sneak a surprise into their games without telling players up-front, but if you’ve already wrapped up your time with the roguelike you could be forgiven for glancing over these new Hades 2 patch notes and deciding there wasn’t a big reason to come back. However, you’ll probably want to return to the Crossroads once you see what Hypnos has in store. Hades 2 Dream Dives are described by developer Supergiant as “a breezy…
Good news for nerds who like to collect stuff: the He-Man popcorn buckets have arrived… and they are very, very cool.The movie theater chain Cinemark shared a video from their booth at CinemaCon, revealing that the popcorn bucket is a replica of Castle Grayskull, and that the drink cup is the Power Sword. You can check it out below.This blows the Deadpool and Wolverine, Dune, and Nosferatu popcorn buckets out of the water – I mean, these aren’t just metal buckets with a themed lid. These are detailed, high-quality collector’s items – and I have a feeling they might be…
Open world vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker makes use of AI-generated voice acting, Rebel Wolves CEO Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has revealed, but doesn’t actually feature it in-game. The devs deployed the soul-regurgitating tech to create placeholder voice performances early in development, in order to tinker with quests and the like without re-recording the associated dialogue. Tomaszkiewicz says this has kept costs down, citing his experience at CD Projekt working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077. He claims that all of the sinister chatbot tomfoolery has since been erased, and that every voice line in The Blood of…
April 15, 2026: We added Sierra to the list and made several changes across every tier based on the Season 2 patch notes. Who are the best Overwatch heroes? With 51 heroes to pick from as of Season 2, knowing where to start in Blizzard’s hero shooter can be pretty daunting. It’s not always easy to tell how strong your chosen character is when you’re constantly coming up against different counters and team comps. Of course, just because we say a hero is a must-pick doesn’t mean you can’t do a better job with your preferred Overwatch characters. That said, most players…
