Gearbox has revealed Borderlands 4’s first of two new Vault Hunters coming to the game as part of the paid Story Pack DLCs. C4SH, due out during the first quarter of 2026, is a playable character whose luck-based powers can make him either the best or worst character in the game, Gearbox development chief Randy Pitchford said during a panel at Tokyo Game Show 2025 . Here’s the official blurb, from Gearbox: A former casino dealer bot, C4SH is now a drifter who chases the probability-breaking highs of cursed eldritch artifacts. As luck would have it, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned is full of cosmic horrors that harbor uncanny curios, some of which can surely bend the odds in C4SH's favor. C4SH has three unique Action Skills to choose from, as you’d expect, and three skill trees that each have three branches full of passives and other customization options. C4SH works differently to the other Vault Hunters, however, by having unpredictable Action Skills. Gearbox said the...

The Silent Hill series has been at the forefront of feel-bad survival horror storytelling for close to three decades now, and with the success of 2024’s Silent Hill 2 remake and the recent release of Silent Hill f, it felt like the right time to take a look back through Konami’s catalogue of psychological horrors to see how each scarefest stacks up. Now, admittedly the series hasn’t been immune to the odd misstep here and there, and there have certainly been periods of time where things have gone more downhill than Silent Hill. Thus you won’t find the likes of forgettable mainline entries like Silent Hill: Homecoming and Silent Hill: Downpour here, or the inappropriately aggressive shoot ‘em up action of Silent Hill: The Arcade, or indeed the co-operative dungeon crawling of Silent Hill: Book of Memories that absolutely nobody asked for. With all that in mind, here’s IGN’s picks for the very best entries in the Silent Hill series, from portable terrors to playable teasers. 9. Sile...

EA is reportedly closing in on a $50 billion deal to go private in what could become the biggest leveraged buyout of all time. Details on what could be a monumental shift for the Madden and Battlefield publisher come from a Wall Street Journal report. The site’s sources say investors include private-equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). Affinity Partners, an investment firm led by Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is also said to be in the mix. Should the alleged deal be made official, an announcement could be made as soon as Monday. EA had a market value of about $43 billion before Wall Street Journal’s story was published. That jumped nearly 15% to around $48 billion since word of a move to go private first arrived. A $50 billion deal to remove EA from the public stock exchange would be about $18 billion more than the $31.8 billion buyout of Texas power company TXU , which occurred in 2007. Should the EA deal go through, it would likel...

CD Projekt has delayed a planned patch for The Witcher 3 that was set to add cross-platform mod support across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S later this year. The studio had announced the patch for later in 2025 as part of the celebrations of The Witcher 3’s 10th anniversary. “For the first time, creating, sharing, and enjoying mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be easier and more accessible than ever,” CD Projekt said at the time. However, in a new update , CD Projekt said the patch had shifted to 2026, with no firm release window mentioned. “We apologize for the delay and will share more details as we get closer to the release,” CD Projekt said. “Thank you for your patience!” CD Projekt had described the update as “one more patch” for The Witcher 3, which remains hugely popular and maintains a healthy number of players even now, a decade after launch. The Witcher 3 is now up to an incredible 60 million copies sold , a figure that includes sales of the base ga...

Aspyr unveiled Deus Ex Remastered at this week's State of Play , debuting a new teaser trailer showcasing how the 25-year-old masterpice has been updated with character models with better lip-sync animations and ragdoll physics. But while fans were delighted to see the classic game getting a facelift, including reimagined lighting, dynamic shadows, water physics, particle effects, and new textures, the refreshed visuals aren't impressing everyone. "Upgraded visuals from 2000 to 2005," said one commenter on the YouTube trailer . Another added: "There are FREE mods available right now that make the original game look better than this, while being more faithful." "The amount I wanted this until I saw screenshots... oh my god that is rough. Loses the charm of the original but also still looks bad and dated," suggested another person on Bluesky , while someone else said : "Just what I’ve always wanted… the original Deus Ex but weirder looki...
