With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater selling over a million copies in less than a month, it seems Konami is already interested in going back to the sneaky well. The developer is asking eager fans what they want next from the long-dormant series, and I think there's one obvious answer. In a survey being conducted by Konami ahead of its Metal Gear-themed Tokyo Game Show presentation next month, the developer is asking prospective viewers about their past experiences with the series, what they would like to know more about in the near future (with a passing mention of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2), and most crucially, which Metal Gear game they want to see remade next.

Nintendo is adding two third-party Game Boy Advance titles to the Switch Online retro library, ending the run of only first-party releases. Starting September 25, Expansion Pack subscribers can play Namco classics Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, a side-scrolling adventure, and puzzle title Mr. Driller 2. This marks a shift as third-party GBA games join the lineup. Notably, Bandai Namco has been actively revisiting its retro catalogue, with remasters like Mr. Driller Drill Land and Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series already on Switch,

We remain focused on delivering the most exciting and diverse catalogue in gaming," he said.

Love and Deepspace has a surprisingly complex science fiction story in which the main character, a woman named and customized by the player, is a "deepspace hunter" who fights creatures called Wanderers, but she also, unbeknownst to her, has been reincarnated multiple times. In all these previous lives, she has met the game's five love interests, and unlocking memories from those past iterations is one of the biggest draws of the game because they not only delve into the game's broader mysteries,

As a Silent Hill protagonist descends further and further into madness and depravity, inevitably, they all ask a version of the same question: is this a dream? That inquiry cuts to the core of Silent Hill's brand of "psychological horror." If Resident Evil derives its scares from the immediate terrors of the material world (predators, death, a lack of resources), Silent Hill engenders fear by making players confront the fragility of the human mind and the uncertainty of a shared, fixed reality.

You might have already spent a ton of money building up a modest collection of amiibo, Nintendo's NFC-equipped figures for Switch and Switch 2. But whether you're looking to add extras, or you're just starting out, GameStop has several amiibo figures starting at just $5.99. On Bluesky, Wario64 pointed out the page that contains all of the models selling at up to 70 percent off.

Diablo 4 Season 10 will introduce a major change for Necromancers that will make dying far less punishing, allowing them to immediately jump back into the fray at full effectiveness. Blizzard is finally making it so Necromancer players who die to the demonic hordes will no longer need to manually resummon each of their minions. Instead, minions will automatically be resummoned when a player resurrects.

Immersing yourself in Silent Hill f is like drinking a powerfully fragrant tea steeped in bloody metaphor and symbolism. The first new, full Silent Hill game in 13 years, f wields a powerful, standalone narrative about the expectations of gender-based roles, the challenge of maintaining relationships in the presence of such roles, and the foggy nature of transitioning from teenage life into adulthood.

A new Pokemon pop-up shop will be coming to the London Natural History Museum in early 2026, and fans of all things pocket monsters can expect exclusive items to be sold here. Can fans also expect to compete for these items with scalpers who view opportunities like this as an opportunity to make some quick cash? If previous Pokemon events are any indicator, probably.

One of the first screens you see in Silent Hill f is a smorgasbord of content warnings. And while I largely consider myself to have a pretty high threshold, those warnings should be heeded, as Silent Hill f has one of the most singularly gruesome moments I've ever seen in a video game.

There were showcases this week from Critical Reflex (which was packed with neat oddities), Game Devs of Color, Six One Indie and Convergence. There's far too much cool stuff in these for us to highlight everything - during the Six One Indie preshow alone, I added three games to my Steam wishlist. So, if you're into indie games and have the time, I recommend checking these streams out.

Remedy Entertainment has made some of the best games of the last several years, including Alan Wake 2 and Control, and thanks to a new Humble Bundle, has made it possible to snag the studio's entire oeuvre for a ridiculously low price. The Remedy 30th Anniversary Bundle includes up to nine of the studio's game for $27. A portion of the proceeds for each bundle go to charity.

adding new classes and missions, and offering a new generation a chance to figure out why people got so excited about it two decades ago. Since its original release, developer Infinity Plus 2 has created multiple spin-offs and sequels, mobile juggernaut Gems of War, and the somewhat less well-loved freemium Puzzle Quest 3, but it's important to know that 's origins go back much farther, all the way to the late 1980s, and a floppy disc that was thrown into a publisher's trashcan.

After a long wait, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here, and it's undoubtedly the game of the moment for Metroidvania fans. Its divisive difficulty is as much a draw for some players as it is a slog for others, but whichever side of the divide you land on, it's hard to deny what an impact its launch has had. Whether you're looking for something to scratch the itch after Silksong or want another Metroidvania after bouncing off of it, there's an incredibly deep well ready to draw from.

The original Tony Hawk Pro Skater changed everything. It popularized a new and exciting genre. It introduced a generation to music they otherwise wouldn't have been exposed to. It even helped popularize a classic sport on the cusp of going mainstream. Just a few short months after its 1999 release, it was clear that Neversoft's skateboarding game had become a phenomenon that transcended gaming and penetrated pop culture at large.

On or around September 17, Ready Or Not's community manager, known online as Kaminsky, was asked to add "Charlie Kirk" and a few variations of the name to the server's list of filtered words. Kaminsky confirmed they had done so, but then shared their own personal thoughts about Kirk, who was murdered at a speaking event on September 10 in Utah. The community manager posted: "Funny you mention that because me and my roomate are literally just talking about him getting shot. All I have to say is: Nothing of value was lost." Screenshots and posts of this comment were quickly shared online by fans of Kirk and right-wing content creators, with many demanding that Void Interactive fire the manager. And that's exactly what Void did.

Just four months after the last time it did it, Xbox is raising the prices of the Series X/S consoles in the United States to a number I don't think any of us could have fathomed in 2019 when Microsoft announced the system at the Game Awards . Microsoft announced this on the Xbox support website , saying that the price changes will go into effect on October 3, and are "due to changes in the macroeconomic environment."

In the latest episode of the Insider Gaming podcast, reliable knower of things Tom Henderson talks briefly about the rumoured metroidvania style God of War spinoff, which may well be getting revealed at the State of Play that is suppoed to occur in the coming weeks. You know, the one where Wolverine is supposed to show up. He then mentions that the next mainline game in the series will have similar themes, perhaps an indication that the spin-off may help setup in main game.

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams was released initially in 2001, starring Namco mascot Klonoa and following his adventure taking down four monsters after dreaming becomes outlawed. The game's action consists of Klonoa defeating enemies with his Wind Ring, solving puzzles, and collecting stars. The Klonoa series has been largely dormant in recent years, with its last proper installment coming out in 2008 for the Wii (a remake of the first game) and remasters of the first two titles releasing in 2022.
