Epic Games Confirms Fortnite Refunds for D4vd Cosmetics, Plans Further Changes

Image
Epic Games has confirmed it will refund D4vd cosmetics to any Fortnite player who makes a request via player support, with further changes to come. 21-year-old U.S. singer D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, was charged with the murder of a 14-year-old girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez. It is alleged that he killed her on or around April 23, 2025, after she threatened to report their relationship. Burke pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, lewd and lascivious acts with a person under 14, and mutilating a dead body. Fortnite players had for some time called on Epic Games to remove D4vd emotes and jamtracks from the game, with some saying they would rather not own the items. The D4vd items include the Feel It and Trophy Drop emotes, and the What Are You Waiting For and Locked and Loaded Jam Tracks. Today, after players reported success in getting a refund from Epic via player support, a tweet from the Fortnite Status account confirmed the news, and noted that further changes we...

Assassin’s Creed Hexe Game Director Benoit Richer Exits Ubisoft Just Months After Departure of Previous Creative Director

Image
Ubisoft’s mysterious Assassin’s Creed Hexe project seems to be going through a rough patch, as game director Benoit Richer has announced his departure. An update on the latest for the history-hopping stealth franchise came from a LinkedIn post published by the former Ubisoft Montreal developer. In his message, he stated that he left to join Quebec-based indie studio Servo Games as co-founder and game director. This is the second major departure for the Assassin’s Creed game, which is in development with the Hexe codename, this year. The last saw creative director Clint Hocking exit the project in February, with Assassin’s Creed head of content Jean Guesdon filling the role in his place. Richer first joined Ubisoft Montreal back in 2000 as a level designer for games like Rainbow Six Vegas 2 before leaving the company for the first time in 2008. He eventually found his way to WB Games Montreal in 2010, where he served as game director on Batman: Arkham Origins, before returning ...

Alien: Isolation 2 Seemingly Teased in New Video Posted by Sega and Creative Assembly

Image
Publisher Sega and developer Creative Assembly have posted what appears to be a teaser trailer for Alien: Isolation 2 . A mysterious video titled “A False Sense of Security” was posted by the franchise’s official YouTube account today, April 26, which also happens to be Alien Day. It’s little more than an atmospheric teaser that features a rainy, outdoor location and a familiar emergency phone save station. The teaser trailer doesn’t outright confirm that it is for the long-awaited Alien: Isolation 2, but given that Creative Assembly announced it was working on a follow-up back in late 2024, fans are already expecting an impending announcement. The only text included in the video’s description says, "A feeling of being safer than one really is." pic.twitter.com/1FIsqfnWON — Alien: Isolation (@AlienIsolation) April 26, 2026 Alien: Isolation originally released for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One all the way back in October 2014. It’s since be...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Release Date Seemingly Leaked on Steam

Image
Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the upcoming arcade racing game featuring podracers, speeder bikes, landspeeders, and more fast rides from the Star Wars universe will apparently be released on October 6. The release date was posted to Steam and quickly removed, but not before eagle-eyed storefront watcher Wario64 spotted it. "STAR WARS: Galactic Racer will release on Oct 6, 2026 according to Steam. Deluxe Edition contents revealed (Steelbook included with physical purchase)," Wario64 noted in their post. A check of the Galactic Racer Steam page an hour later showed a generic "2026" release date. Galactic Racer was announced at the 2025 Game Awards, and it's being developed by Fuse Games, a team comprised of a number of former Burnout and Need for Speed developers founded in 2023. It was last seen at Sony's State of Play broadcast back in February. Regardless of whether or not the October 6 release date holds, we've still got new Star Wars to look f...

Final Fantasy XIV Is Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in August With a Separate Subscription

Image
Square Enix has announced plans to bring Final Fantasy XIV to Nintendo Switch 2 this August – but there is a catch. FFXIV director and producer Naoki Yoshida (a.k.a. Yoshi-P) and Square Enix president and CEO Takashi Kiryu revealed plans to bring the massively popular MMORPG to the Nintendo platform as part of Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest 2026 today. It’s news that marked an end to a long wait, but it also came with the reveal that players on the hybrid gaming platform will need to rethink their subscription plans. The presentation continued following the announcement with a graphic confirming that subscriptions for FFXIV on Switch 2 will operate differently than other platforms. While players previously only needed to purchase the game itself and the monthly subscription fee to play on any platform, the Switch 2 version will require players to purchase an additional, separate subscription. "After discussions with Nintendo, it was decided that the Switch 2 version of Final F...

Tides Of Tomorrow Review

Image
Look, if you're just going to leave valuable resources lying around in strategically placed caches, of course I'm going to clear them out. I'm trying to save the world, not earn a halo. The next player can just man up and find their own. You see, the big feature that Tides Of Tomorrow is bringing to the party is the ability to see the actions of previous players and experience interactions with the world and NPCs shaped by their behavior. You can see their physical actions in the world using a second sight-style power that lets you watch a ghost version of them for a short time, while NPCs will refer to them by name and help or hinder you depending on their behavior. If they were a picture of virtue and, say, helped a particular faction, you'll find that people are more inclined to return the favor, but if your predecessor committed a crime or started trouble, you'll have to find different ways to complete your objectives. As someone that has been conned before ...
