Bungie is Bringing Back Destiny and Evolving Marathon

This includes unvaulting major content.

Destiny 2 died months ago. The game's developer, Bungie, suffered mass layoffs shortly after. Despite all of this, Bungie announced today that they are going back to Destiny.

A new studio update from studio head Poria Torkan and head of product Josh Deane says that Bungie is aiming to "return Destiny to its original promise." The studio also plans to make some major changes to the game. First and foremost, this includes...

Raise some hell! But only a little bit for now.

A playable demo for Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is now available through Steam. Along with the demo release, a new trailer, Scarlet Church, was also released today. Both of these come a few weeks ahead of the full game release, which is slated for October 8, 2026 on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC. A Switch 2 release is also happening but won't be available until October 8.

If you can't see the new trailer...

One week out from release.

It's almost time to take back a paranaturally altered version of New York. Control Resonant is out September 24, 2026, from Remedy Entertainment, and a new launch trailer dropped today.

This launch trailer features the track "My Favourite Game" by The Cardigans. It builds up the hype ahead of release without revealing too much of the mysteries that await players.

In Control Resonant, players take on the role of Dylan...

Minecraft Bedrock 26.50 Wilderness Bound can make an established Android world feel new again.

All employees have apparently been laid off.

The Leslie Benzies-led development studio, Build a Rocket Boy, seems to have laid off all remaining employees. Multiple developers have come forward saying they were laid off, with some adding that they believe pretty much everyone at the company has been laid off. This would effectively mean Build a Rocket Boy is no more after releasing only one title, MindsEye.

For Benzies, MindsEye was to be the start of their "Roblox...

Six years on, HoYoverse's open-world RPG shows no sign of slowing down. Whether you're a day-one Traveler or thinking about finally giving Teyvat a shot, here's what makes the game tick in 2026.

When Genshin Impact launched in September 2020, plenty of people expected it to be a flash in the pan. A free-to-play, anime-styled open-world game with gacha mechanics, released simultaneously on PC, PlayStation and mobile? It sounded like a recipe for a quick cash grab. Instead, it be...

Wait until you see the price of the 1TB model.

Valve just opened sign-ups for their new virtual reality headset, Steam Frame. It officially "launches" today, starting at an eye-watering price of $1,059 for the 256GB model. The 1TB Steam Frame bumps that price up to $1,299.

A purchase of the Steam Frame, either model, includes the wireless VR headset, Steam Frame controllers, and a copy of Half-Life: Alyx.

Valve is once again using the reservation...

Modern multiplayer games make joining a match almost effortless. A button finds a lobby, fills empty slots and moves everyone into the action. That convenience is valuable, but it solves a different problem from the one community-run servers were built to solve. Matchmaking creates sessions. A persistent server creates a place. For survival games, sandboxes, simulators and mod-friendly PC titles, that distinction still shapes whether a group plays together for one evening or becomes a lasting c...

3 teams. 100 players. 1 odd man out.

Wardogs was released into Steam Early Access today. The game boasts massive 100-player all-out warfare battles. Wardogs is developed by Bulkhead and published by team17. It's billed as a tactical FPS and is planned for PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X|S in 2028.

So far, it seems as though the Early Access is nothing more than a queue simulator. I've seen about a quarter of a million people waiting in the queue at one point. It probably...

It's a Unix system. I know this!

The Steam Programming Fest is now live on Steam through September 14 at 10 AM PT. These next four days will allow you to pretend to be a 1337 h4x0r. Dust off those Cheeto bags, crack open a cold one (Mtn. Dew), and prepare to code as you've never coded before (because you probably haven't).

Taking a look at some of the "Popular Discounted" titles participating in the sale, we can see some real hidden gems. I don't know. Maybe...

Friendship ended with PlayStation, now XBOX is new best friend?

In January 2024, Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions and PlayStation's Hermen Hulst announced that they were partnering on a new action-espionage title called Physint. This deal would see PlayStation publishing the Kojima-developed title, making it a PlayStation 5 exclusive release.

Outside of a brief update in August 2025 where Kojima shared some of the stars that will appear in the game and a poster, not...
