Bethesda Chief Todd Howard Issues Rare Reddit Comment, Fans Immediately Call for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Patch

Image
Bethesda chief Todd Howard has issued a rare post on Reddit, telling gamers that the developer is "constantly listening” to fans on the website. And so, unsurprisingly, fans have responded with requests. Howard posted in the r/games subreddit in the wake of Bethesda's announcement of its roadmap of releases over the coming years . With The Elder Scrolls 6 taking up Bethesda Game Studios’ attention, Howard confirmed Fallout 5 is now in pre-production , New Vegas developer Obsidian is working on a new Fallout game, Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters are in the works, and Starfield is still alive . That announcement itself followed a significant round of layoffs across Xbox, which hit Bethesda and its various studios hard as new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma continues her “reset” of Microsoft’s gaming business. That reset involves doubling down on Xbox’s core franchises, and for Bethesda that means more The Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, more quickly . Howard then took the unusual step...

'Please Play Us When GTA 6 Comes Out': Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Developer Teases Post-Game Support

Image
The director of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has told fans to keep playing — even when GTA 6 launches. Of course, the hugely-anticipated GTA 6 arrives on November 19, and is expected to gobble up gaming time and attention away from pretty much every major release — so much so that many other developers are steering well clear and launching their games en masse in September and early October. But what about post-launch support for games that have already released, such as Resynced? Asked about the contents of future updates for the newly-launched remake, game director Richard Knight played coy, though mentioned the upcoming New Game Plus mode that publisher Ubisoft previously confirmed. What might follow that remains to be seen. Still, the suggestion that support will continue through GTA 6's November release date is interesting to consider. "I mean, I can't say anything officially, but you know, it doesn't feel like a crazy bet," Knight said, speakin...

Image
Have you ever wanted to fall asleep to the sound of Call of Duty players screaming through a $5 mic and into your ear? No? Well, Call of Duty Ambience is here anyway. Erected by app-maker Mike Wing, Call of Duty Ambience is a new website that, for some reason, allows you to tap back into multiplayer lobbies like it's 2010 all over again. Fit with an Xbox 360 theme, cringy gamertags, and other classic visuals, the site allows anyone to log in and get some shuteye while strangers argue in the background. Three Call of Duty games are supported at the moment: Modern Warfare 2 , Black Ops , and Black Ops 2 . If you ever played a few games of team deathmatch for any of these first-person shooter classics, you should immediately feel right at home. most people fall asleep to white noise i fall asleep to grown men arguing in cod lobbies so i made a website that plays Call of Duty voice chat 24/7 pic.twitter.com/tu0q1rxtFO — mike wing (@immike_wing) July 16, 2026 "Most people fa...

World of Warcraft and RuneScape Fans Want Official Jimothy Support After Game Devs Show Love for Viral Raccoon

Image
The internet has fallen in love with a viral raccoon named Jimothy, and so has the gaming industry. In case you've somehow dodged this adorable little friend on social media, Jimothy is a small raccoon in Seattle who has scurried his way through X/Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and just about every other online platform you can think of. His unique size, seemingly caused by what many believe is a rare condition called Short Spine Syndrome, has made him hard to miss, and almost impossible to forget. Locals seem to have taken notice of this specific masked critter before, but it wasn't until Instagram user Kiana Hall captured a video that he became the latest internet-famous animal. She told The Seattle Times that she came up with his name because he simply "looked like a Jimothy." The millions of social media impressions, hundreds of fan edits, and countless stories he's racked up since came naturally. Jimothy with his family as a baby pic.twitter.com/H9MHr00txI ...

Xbox Says More Exclusives Are Coming But Tells Players Not to 'Overly Fixate on Single-Player' Games

Image
Executives at Xbox have once again attempted to clarify the company's approach to exclusives, promising that " Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are not the only titles" it's planning. Xbox chief strategy officer Matthew Ball and chief content officer Matt Booty tried to further explain how Microsoft is handling exclusives during a conversation with GamesRadar . Their clarification arrived amid the company's renewed interest in the strategy, which kicked off just last month with confirmation that two of its biggest first-party games would not come to PlayStation consoles. "I can assure you, Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are not the only titles we're planning," Ball promised. "To grow a platform like ours, you have to have exclusive games and services. These are not going to be the only two titles." Microsoft shocked the industry at its Xbox Games Showcase last month when it declared The Coalition's Gears of...

Marvel's Wolverine Trailer Flooded With Comments as Physical Disc Backlash Against PlayStation Continues

Image
Insomniac Games attempted to drum up excitement when it published a new cinematic trailer for Marvel's Wolverine yesterday, but it soon became flooded with negative comments from fans who haven't forgiven Sony after it announced plans to cease production of physical discs for PlayStation games . The "Ain't No Hero" trailer has amassed more than 1 million views on YouTube and nearly 5,000 comments since its debut. Despite coming with a first look at Lady Deathstrike and a tease for a team-up between Logan and Sabretooth, viewers are mostly using the opportunity to take their frustrations out on just about anything the Sony gaming branch publishes. As spotted by Eurogamer , many of the comments on its YouTube page both directly and indirectly reference the company's decision to do away with physical discs for games starting in 2028. The comment section of the video site has long served as a reliable place for fans to voice their frustrations, but in this case...

Assassin’s Creed Stunt Recreated in Real Life as Red Bull Athlete Sets Haystack Jump World Record

Image
A Red Bull athlete has broken a world record while recreating the iconic "Leap of Faith" from Assassin’s Creed. Professional freerunner, stuntwoman, and Red Bull athlete Lilou Ruel jumped a feet-tingling 18.2 meters into a huge stack of hay, breaking the world record for highest haystack jump. For reference, that’s about as tall as a six-story building, so we can understand why Ruel started screaming as she got close to the ground in Red Bull’s viral video capturing the moment. Luckily, she landed in the hay unharmed, warranting an excited celebration from her friends for successfully completing the heart-stopping stunt. "Thank you, Red Bull, for giving me wings for a few seconds," she joked on Instagram . "I do think we can go way higher, should we try?" This isn’t the first time a Red Bull athlete has broken the world record for the highest Leap of Faith; in May 2026, Dominic Tommasso fell 18.1 meters into a haystack while dressed as Edward Kenway fro...
