Upgrade Your Fortnite Festival Setup With Prime Day Deals on PDP and CRKD Guitar Controllers

Rock Band was the foundation for some of my favorite childhood memories. I know for a lot of people that source was Guitar Hero, but the point stands: the game-ified version of rocking out is peak. If you somehow weren’t already aware, Harmonix was acquired by Epic Games back in 2021 . Now, Rock Band lives on in the form of Fortnite Festival. Whether you’re already deep in the Fortnite world or have been aching for a chance to relive your Rock Band (sorry, Guitar Hero) glory days, I highly recommend picking up a guitar controller.

Image
Hideo Kojima teased that he's got a cameo in a "big" live-action movie, but he's not saying which one we'll see him in quite yet. The Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator enticed film fans to theorize about his movie career during a surprise installment in the Koji10 podcast . In between talking about Physint and what's next for his Kojima Productions, the famed game developer revealed that he would appear in movie theaters as part of a big new live-action movie cameo. "I already shot a few other things," Kojima said, as translated through YouTube's English captions (via @Genki_JPN ). "Directors and others have asked me to." The topic came up when reminiscing about his time doing voice acting work as a mole in Zootopia 2 . While the Japanese version of the Pixar film had him provide his talents behind the scenes, he suggested this mysterious new project will allow him to be in front of the camera in some capacity. So as not to ...

Ubisoft Boss Says Watch Dogs Is 'Important' to Company's Future, But Don't Expect Any New Entries Anytime Soon

Image
Don't hold your breath for a new Watch Dogs game anytime soon. As reported by Game File , Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked by an investor about the future of the Watch Dogs franchise. The CEO noted that Ubisoft considers the IP "to be an important brand for the future" but neglected to explain how. Game File's Stephen Totilo stated that Guillemot suggested that there are no Watch Dogs games in active development at the moment, which suggests Ubisoft may still be figuring out where to take the series from here. There is a Watch Dogs movie on the horizon , but there's no word on when it will be released. The film wrapped production two years ago and had reshoots last year, but there hasn't been any sort of meaningful promotion for the film to date. As of right now, it doesn't even have a release date, which makes it even more of a mystery. Watch Dogs made its debut back in 2014, though it was initially meant to launch simultaneously with the PS4 in Nove...

RuneScape Dev Pulls Trailer After 6-Fingered Knight Leads to Generative AI Allegations

Image
RuneScape developer Jagex has pulled a new trailer after a six-fingered knight led to allegations of generative AI usage from fans. There were some ups and downs for RuneScape players over the weekend. What started with a string of big reveals from RuneFest 2026 ended with social media users voicing their concern that generative AI had been used to make the new trailer for RuneScape 3 's Dragon Slayer 2 quest. The backlash was loud enough that Jagex stepped in not only to release an official response on the matter but also to pull the trailer entirely while it investigates "urgently." The statement, posted on Reddit by social media manager Alex Sween (via Kotaku ), acknowledged some of the more undeniable concerns related to the trailer – including the fact that one of its knights has six fingers. Jagex using AI for RS3 Dragon Slayer 2 reveal trailer by u/Ok-Ladder4467 in LivestreamFail "Hello, it’s me, again, talking about Gen AI, again," the statement ...

Rockstar Traveled Across Florida With Gang Members and Cops for GTA 6 Research

Image
Love Magazine recently got an exclusive interview with Rockstar Games ahead of GTA 6 ’s release next month. While the interview focuses primarily on the love story between dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, there’s some interesting insight into the studio’s process for creating the most impressive virtual worlds ever made. For its rendition of Florida, team members spent lots of time embedding with the culture and exploring the landscape of Miami and its surrounding areas. These research trips start small as the leads scout out the most interesting locations and stories, and more team members come on subsequent trips to dive deeper into the culture, stories, and people. “Every game we make starts with research trips. It’s where to get to explore both the place and our ideas as a group,” head of development Aaron Garbut said. “To begin, a small group of us spent some time traveling from Miami through some of the surrounding towns and through the Florida Keys down to Key West. This is o...

Mighty Mike Plays Dad Says He Owns 'Like 12 Companies,' Promises Refunds for AI Shirts

Image
Mighty Mike Plays dad Dave has promised refunds and issued a lengthy explanation after the internet demanded more information about the YouTube ads allegedly purchased by his son and the drama that followed. The Mighty Mike Plays saga began when a father took to YouTube to announce that his son had allegedly used his company credit card to purchase more than $118,000 in video ads. It was a painful and highly relatable story that snowballed into a full-fledged internet spectacle when pricey AI-generated T-shirts and questionable details led many online to look for concrete answers. The controversial father figure came clean in a new video titled " Allow me to Explain " that was uploaded to the Mighty Mike Plays channel last week (via Dexerto ). Dave started the hour-long explainer – which has since been deleted and re-uploaded on a new YouTube channel called Coffee Time with Dave – promising that everyone who purchased one of those T-shirts would receive a refund. “this might ...

Blindfolded Tekken 8 Player Achieves One of the Game’s Top Ranks from Beginner

Image
Professional Tekken 8 player SuperBrine is going viral after reaching God of Destruction using Alisa while completely blindfolded with a sleep mask. SuperBrine has been streaming his run on Twitch in the form of seven separate broadcasts, starting in June 2026 . The final stream from this series, broadcast in early October , has become a hot topic within the fighting game community, as he was able to reach one of the game’s top ranks from Beginner while obscuring his vision with a sleep mask. It’s an impressive feat no matter how you swing it, standing as a testament to SuperBrine’s skill as a player and Tekken 8’s laudable sound design — but, perhaps unsurprisingly, his blindfolded run from Beginner to God of Destruction has sparked no end of debate about the game's difficulty and Alisa’s ease of use as a character. HERE WE ARE... First person ever to get From BEGINNER to GoD rank 100% Blindfolded on LIVE stream This took me alot of effort and time, but hell yea worth it. my whol...
