Developer Arc System Works has confirmed that Hulk and Black Panther have joined the roster of playable fighters in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The studio confirmed the news at Evo Japan 2026, revealing a first look at the two new legendary comic book characters set to throw down when its Marvel fighting game launches this August. Appearing as Savage Hulk and Shuri's Black Panther, the two will fight as part of the group known as the Fighting Avengers, but they won't be coming alone. As described in a follow-up PlayStation.Blog post , the Marvel Tokon trailer also highlighted Wakanda as a new stage, as well as the inclusion of the mysterious character known as The Champion. Described as a "cosmic conqueror," The Champion looms over Earth on his quest to search for worthy opponents. Marvel Tokon is primed to give players a healthy selection of heroes and villains later this summer, but it seems like Arc System Works isn't done announcing new playable fighters. T...

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) artist Dan Frazier has admitted he "painted over" the work of Marta Nael when creating a new version of The One Ring card for Wizards of the Coast's upcoming The Hobbit set. When Wizards of the Coast pulled back the curtain on its upcoming plans to continue its run of cards themed after characters, items, and locations from Middle-earth last week, fans were quick to raise concerns related to a reprint of The One Ring. Specifically, many feared that the updated Magic art, which featured similar ring positioning and even almost identical reflections, had been lifted without proper credit. Reddit user Stiggy1605 shared side-by-side comparisons of the art featured on both cards shortly after the announcement. They noted that the one from The Hobbit set was illustrated by Frazier, a 30-year Magic veteran, while the piece from the 2023 The Lord of the Rings collection was drawn by Nael. The new One Ring shown today is just the old art mirrored wit...

Some of the Invincible VS DLC roster appears to have leaked online, pointing to the potential inclusion of fan-favorite characters and even an unexpected Spider-Man reference. As players flocked to try out the Invincible fighting game upon its launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S April 30, 2026, others were more excited to dig into its files to see what might be coming next. Post-launch leaks following a release like this feels like par for the course for games like this, but the supposed leaks tied to Invincible VS might have revealed what developer Quarter Up has planned when it comes to DLC in the months ahead. A post from X/Twitter user @multiversusie contains what appears to be uncovered files related to characters who have yet to be added to the game. Two of the names in question are the previously confirmed Immortal and Universa , with the others including the Mauler Twins, Damien Darkblood, Oliver, Angstrom, Dinosaurus, and Volcanikka. Each voice line seemingly ...

One of key the reasons developer IO Interactive is an inspired choice for adapting Ian Fleming's secret agent James Bond for a new video game is the team's work on the Hitman series. Focused on a variety of stealthy sandbox missions where you can use any method to take out targets hidden in lavish, exotic settings, Hitman's house gameplay style fits well with the conceit of a Bond adventure – especially as IO's flagship series already has plenty of 007 influence baked in. But for 007 First Light, the developer wanted to offer a different spin on the open-ended gameplay it refined across earlier Hitman games. Along with familiar action set-pieces and slick gun battles, First Light's character-first approach to missions will let you use Bond's social skills and resourcefulness to overcome challenges. This created an opportunity for the dev team to make a more social, personality-driven stealth-action game, one that gives you the tools to make the most of the tense...

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss has dropped another major patch for the game, this time adding brand new features designed for endgame players who had cleared out the world of combat. As IGN has reported, some Crimson Desert players had started to complain that the vast open world of Pywel had become too peaceful because they’d killed everyone . This was because for the most part enemies do not respawn, and camps, which you can overtake, do not become repopulated with enemies once you’ve cleared them out. Today’s patch changes all that by adding the boss Rematch and Re-blockade features. “We understand that as more regions of the continent were liberated, opportunities for combat naturally became less frequent,” Pearl Abyss said. “So to keep the sense of challenge alive, we've added the Rematch and Re-blockade content. We are continuing to refine these features, and this update serves as the first step by implementing their core, foundational systems. Building upon this base ...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered , without a patch on PC since July 2025, still suffers from issues that plagued it at launch, including worsening performance the more you play. In May last year, the tech experts at Digital Foundry said The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered suffered from significant performance problems , including hitches while roaming the open world, frame-rate problems, and even performance degrading slowly with more playing time, potentially due to a memory leak. Now, a year after the game’s release, Digital Foundry has revisited Oblivion Remastered to check in on how it performs, and found many of the same issues. “As you may have noticed, the game hasn't been patched on PC since its 1.2 update arrived in July 2025 - a very short post-launch support window, given that the game was only released in late April the same year,” Digital Foundry said. “Unfortunately, that abandonment means that the game remains in a state that could be described as a...
