The Naruto live-action movie from Lionsgate is pushing forward as the director announces worldwide casting for Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.

Laters, Raiders. It's Splatfest weekend, folks! Nintendo technically announced this one back in the June Direct, but with all the Zelda and Xenoblade news, we thought it was only right that we give everyone a little reminder now that it's finally here. The Splatoon 3 Splatfest kicks off tomorrow (11th June) at 1am BST / 2am CET / 8pm ET (10th) / 5pm PT (10th), and will run throughout the weekend.

While developer Pocketpair are still fighting off Nintendo, they've pushed out a huge upgrade for Palworld to bring it out of Early Access for the 1.0

NVIDIA launches trading cards that feature 'GeForce PC gaming's great moments.'

After a bit of a wait, Valve have now rolled out Steam Machine and SteamOS compatibility ratings to the Steam store and mobile app

Get out the way. Nacon's upcoming Switch 2 game Hell Is Us, which has received "very positive" ratings on platforms like Steam and was praised by our colleagues at Push Square as a "must-play" for fans of lore-filled mystery, is shifting its release date by two weeks. Although the developer Rogue Factor has been "working hard" to deliver this version of the game, due to September being a "very busy" time for game releases, the team has delayed the launch to 8th October 2026.

Out of sight. Activision shadow-dropped Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on the PS4 & PS5 this week. Unsurprisingly, it's led to questions about the possibility of Switch ports. If you do have an itchy trigger finger, you'll supposedly look elsewhere for your first-person shooter thrills, as versions for Nintendo's current systems are apparently "not planned".

The Infinite and the Divine didn't need a follow-up, but I'm glad it's getting one.

Creature-catching game Palworld - the cheerfully macabre survival game that came out of nowhere in 2024 and has sold 40 million copies despite being roundly berated and, indeed, taken to court by Uncle Nintendo for riffing rather flagrantly on Pokémon - launches out of early access today. It's been a journey! Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the industrial exploitation of Kingpacas.

"Try all seven weapons across three stages". Later this month, NIS America is bringing Disgaea Mayhem to the Switch 1 & 2. It's a new take on the series, described as a "high-octane" action role-playing experience. If you are wondering what exactly to expect, NIS America has now released a demo, which you can download on the eShop. This demo comes loaded with three stages and seven weapons. Here's a bit more via the official PR:

I specifically asked for this to be painted black.

"You got boost power!". Nintendo has this week added an F-Zero soundtrack to its mobile music app for Switch Online subscribers. This time it's the album for the Switch Online battle royale title, F-Zero 99. It comes loaded with 44 tracks in total and has a runtime of 1 hour and 14 minutes.

Pre-orders are now available. Following the release of the Stardew Valley Cookbook, an official "Stardew Valley Crochet Book" has now been announced. It will be released on 26th January 2027, and pre-orders are now live. ConcernedApe has called on the expertise of crochet designer Megan Lapp and cookbook writer Ryan Novak is also back.

If Xbox can't find the value in owning the beating heart of the first-person shooter, perhaps it shouldn't be in the videogame business at all.

Here are 12 PS1 and PS2 games that cost hundreds of dollars used, but you can buy them digitally for a song on the PlayStation Store before it closes.

It was not particularly surprising to hear that Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, the other remake of Final Fantasy 7 that opts for a more faithful approach to the original game (if being filled with gacha rolls counts as faithful), is ending service. Square Enix have been ceasing development on pretty much every mobile game they have out at the moment, so why would this one be any different? It's a shame, though, not just because of the fact that it'll be completely inaccessible when it goes down, b...

You can look back at Claude activity over the past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, and in the near future, Anthropic plans to add a view of how much time you've spent using Claude. Anthropic says the Re...

OpenAI's long-awaited super app is here.

I don't need to tell you that Stardew Valley is not a 3D game, and if I do, your understanding of dimensions is unsettling to me. However, where there's a will, there's a way, as a modder has done the unthinkable by adding an extra dimension to the beloved farming sim, turning it into something else entirely.

If Google's AI tools are used, it will automatically be noted in My Ad Center.

Obsidian Entertainment had all the tools to make its own answer to Baldur's Gate 3, but Xbox doesn't seem eager to capitalize.
