Monster Hunter Wilds drops paid character edits - and the refund is two pendants
Capcom is pulling Monster Hunter Wilds' most disliked microtransaction on 3 December and making character edits free with the Ascendance expansion. Players who already paid get a pendant set, not their money.
Media Molecule Is Reportedly Making a Cozy Social Sim - and I'm Trying Very Hard to Stay Calm
A new report says the LittleBigPlanet and Dreams studio is building a social-sim game in the spirit of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, with both the reveal and the release pencilled in for 2027. Nothing is official yet - but the fit is almost too good.
A 4chan post said Marathon and Destiny were merging. The scary part is how many people bought it
Marathon creative director Julia Nardin has flatly denied a viral 'leak' claiming Bungie wants to fold Marathon and Destiny into one property. The denial is clean. Why the rumor spread so fast is the more interesting story.
TCG Card Shop Simulator 1.0 Review: The Pack-Ripping Loop Finally Has a Game Inside It
Two years of Early Access end with a playable card game and a console debut. The shopkeeping loop is still dangerously addictive, the new TCG is thinner than it looks, and the value is hard to argue with. Score: 7/10.
Valve says the memory crisis hasn't changed its Steam Deck 2 plans. The euro price tags say otherwise
Valve insists the RAM and storage crunch has "not really" touched its plans for a Steam Deck successor. After a 210-euro Deck OLED hike in spring and a Steam Frame launching above 1,000 euros, I read that sentence a little differently.
Wo Long 2 Lands March 2027 - and You Can Try It on PS5 and Xbox Right Now
Team Ninja has dated Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember for March 4, 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC, with a day-one Game Pass spot. Better yet: a free alpha demo with co-op and a character creator is live on consoles until September 30.
Wardogs just proved the server browser isn't dead - and Battlefield should be embarrassed
Bulkhead's 100-player shooter sold over a million copies in 24 hours with zero matchmaking, then doubled down on community servers in patch 0.11. Rene on why that list of servers matters more than the sales chart.
Marvel's Wolverine Review: Brutal Claws, Short Leash
Insomniac's Wolverine nails the violence and the visuals, but a thin combat loop and a muddled second half keep it from greatness - especially at €79.99. Score: 7/10.
Xbox's CEO Is Quietly Answering Support Tickets - and Honestly, I Love It
Asha Sharma reportedly spends a few hours a month handling Xbox player support tickets herself. It's a lovely habit - but it has to lead somewhere.
Steam Frame hits $1,059 - I buy Valve's RAM excuse, not the missing charger
Valve's Steam Frame opens reservations at $1,059 (€1,049), and Valve admits the memory crisis pushed it above the price it wanted. The RAM excuse holds up. The missing charger doesn't. The real test is streaming latency.
Warcraft 3: Reforged just killed LAN - and the latency excuse only covers half of it
Patch 3.0 makes Reforged always-online, even in single-player, and removes LAN mode entirely. Blizzard points to a netcode overhaul for international players. I buy part of that argument - not all of it.
Orbitals Review: Gorgeous Co-Op That Plays It Safe
Shapefarm's Switch 2 co-op adventure is gorgeous, generous thanks to its free Friend's Pass, and short on fresh ideas. A lovely weekend for two, not a genre milestone. Score: 7/10.
