Battlefield Studios has released its first official communication in 2026. Rather than unveil the second season of Battlefield 6, however, the developer instead announced a delay. The currently ongoing Season 1 was initially meant to end on Tuesday, January 20, hence why the developer had to communicate something this week. Season 1 will now end on Tuesday, February 17, which is also when Season 2 will kick off. Given the current sentiment around the game, this news isn’t surprising in the least.

Having previously peaked at an all-time player count of 10,489 in January 2021, Star Wars Battlefront II more than tripled this figure with an all-time peak of 35,892, thanks in part to a bargain bin sale price…

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who has paid attention to Pokémon in the past five years, the very expensive Lego sets featuring Pikachu, Eevee, and the Kanto starters are selling out pretty fast.

Mods are certainly nothing new in the Skyrim community, having been around for essentially the game’s entire lifespan, and they’ve gotten increasingly niche and complex in that time. Over the years, users have designed everything from entirely new worlds to a thriving rat population meant…

In their (slightly belated) new years message to players, the developer of EA’s The Sims series of games has lightly addressed concerns about its future within the publisher in a wide-ranging letter to the community.

Hideo Kojima dropped a new bit of lore over the weekend: the renowned designer has “always” suffered from nightmares. As he wrote on Twitter, Kojima stumbled upon old dream logs in his phone’s notes while preparing to deliver the first keynote address in five years at the upcoming GDC Festival of Gaming 2026. Suggested to him as a remedy, jotting down his dreams proved to be ineffective in relieving Kojima of his nightmares. However, the notes grant us some insight into the subconscious of one of the most influential game designers of his time, in the form of two snapshots…
