The Cosmere RPG was first released last year, but it only recently hit a major milestone for tabletop games: It's available at Target. If you're looking for a copy of the Stormlight Starter set, you can currently pick it up at your local Target retail store for only $24.99. "It's hard to get our things into these non-traditionally book sales markets, so we're really excited that Target was willing to give us a try," said Brandon Sanderson in his most recent YouTube update . "So, you can grab this and you can start into the RPG and Target will think that we're cool and maybe they will carry other Brandon Sanderson stuff in the future." Target has long been a place to buy board games, but it is fairly rare to see a traditional tabletop RPG on the shelves. The addition of something like Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG to a store like Target is good news for other book-to-tabletop adaptations looking to break through. It may seem like a fairly ni...

The Call of Duty socials team accidentally posted an internal marketing image for Modern Warfare 4 , and fans suspect it may be AI-generated. Earlier today, the Call of Duty Twitter account posted a render of a soldier walking toward the camera while promoting the game's appearance at Gamescom. Eagle-eyed fans examined the image and noticed that the soldier's gun appeared to be warped in an odd way, possibly suggesting the image was AI-generated. The graphic was eventually taken down, and the Call of Duty team stated that it was posted by mistake. NEW MW4 IMAGE pic.twitter.com/SBIuhXIkYY — Forward (@ForwardLeaks) August 18, 2026 "Earlier today, an image was mistakenly posted to one of the Call of Duty accounts," said a Call of Duty rep on social media . "It included a temporary render from a marketing style guide. The image was a placeholder and not taken from in-game. We’ve taken it down." Fans have now begun speculating that Activision has been using...

Grand Theft Auto 6 appears to have suffered yet another significant leak after what looks like legitimate gameplay videos and an image of the full map appeared online. Two videos showing GTA 6 gameplay have emerged: one featuring protagonist Jason playing basketball outside his home, the other showing Jason driving a car and attacking an NPC. An image reportedly of the complete map has also hit the internet. While it is currently unclear how these assets emerged or how old they are, they all point to a cryptocurrency and a website that reportedly belong to a group called 'CyberLeek.' The website contains three demands of Rockstar Games and other video game publishers, seemingly in response to the all-digital future suggested by digital preorders, “fake” single-player DLC, and the removal of single-player content consumers have paid for. Contained within the manifesto is criticism of the lack of a physical disc for GTA 6 , as well as The Crew, which was at the heart of the Stop...

A battalion in the United States Army is reportedly offering soldiers four days off to let them play Grand Theft Auto 6 when it releases this November if they reenlist. As first spotted by the ‘US Army WTF! Moments’ Instagram page , a flyer from the 9th Engineer Battalion in Fort Stewart, Georgia is advertising some very specific vacation days around the launch date of Grand Theft Auto 6 . The flyer, supposedly signed by one commanding officer Lt. Col. Ryan D. Hodgson, announced a “special reenlistment incentive” — a four-day pass to play GTA 6. As explained in the flyer, this incentive was created to “promote retention, boost morale, and reward the continued dedication of the Soldiers within the 9th Brigade Engineer Battalion.” Basically, it’s a perk designed to persuade soldiers to reenlist, hoping they’ll sign a new contract to extend their service. According to the flyer, any eligible soldier who reenlists between August 1 and November 14 will get authorized for the pass, which is ...

Some fans are expressing some confusion after seeing the latest gameplay footage from Eclipse Glow Games’ Tides of Annihilation, which features some distinct graphical changes that were made to its main character’s face. Tides of Annihilation has experienced a few big changes over the last month. In mid-July, acclaimed voice actress Jennifer English announced she was abdicating the role of the game’s main character, Gwendolyn, citing concerns surrounding her mental and physical health . And in mid-August, Eclipse Glow Games showed off 40 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay footage, giving us one of the most in-depth looks at the title we’ve seen thus far… but not everyone was happy with what they saw. While impressions of the game’s combat, exploration, and overall art direction were extremely positive, the apparent changes to Gwendolyn’s facial design were met with equal parts confusion and frustration. Commenters across social media urged developers to revert these visual changes, whi...

A recent Star Citizen development stream went horribly wrong, resulting in some fans losing confidence in the long-awaited sci-fi game. Earlier this month, the team at CIG decided to do a live stream showing off the current internal build of Star Citizen following player complaints over new content in the game. The developers heard players were having a bad time with this content and decided to do a stream of an internal build to paint a picture of the "intended" experience. Essentially, they were hoping it would show players that they're fixing issues and that this is a very temporary inconvenience... unfortunately, things went terribly wrong. The developers kept running into bugs that showed the game is indeed broken. The developers had issues using their own weapons, swapping between their weapons, accessing their inventory, and much, much more. Eventually, the frustrations among the developers grew, and they started becoming passive-aggressive with each other befor...
