Title: Nioh 3 review - Team Ninja’s most accomplished action game, and the series’ most accessible Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 13:59:26 +0000 Link: https://www.vg247.com/nioh-3-review-pc The moment Nioh 3 was revealed as Team Ninja’s next project, it immediately jumped to the top of my most anticipated games of 2026. That excitement was dampened somewhat when the studio revealed the game’s “open field” level design. I am very much over open-world games, but I was particularly worried that we were about to get the Nioh version of Rise of the Ronin - which, really, was itself Nioh-lite in an open world. Read more

Title: One Of Last Year's Most Underrated Games Is Getting An Unexpected Spin-Off Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 09:33:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/one-of-last-years-most-underrated-games-is-getting-an-unexpected-spin-off/1100-6537925/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Sunderfolk remains one of the most underrated games from 2025, and we've now learned that Secret Door and Dreamhaven are making a roguelite spin-off titled Shadowstone.Released in April 2024, Sunderfolk is a cooperative tactics RPG where players use their phones to guide a party of cute animal creatures through different combat encounters. While its release was drowned out by the launch of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and the fact that it required a phone to play, it's still a really good time for fans of digitized tabletop games. Now, Secret Door is remixing Sunderfolk's world and assets for a cooperative roguelite. Shadowstone features a hexagonal grid, card-based abilities, and cooperative play like Sunderfolk, and takes place in its Sunderlands setting. Unlike Sunderfolk, it's structured as a run-based roguelite where players fight through tactical encounters, upgrading their spells along the way. It also has a generally darker aesthetic and tone.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Valve's Steam Machine Is Still Coming In Early 2026, According To AMD Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:44:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/valves-steam-machine-is-still-coming-in-early-2026-according-to-amd/1100-6537924/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Valve's second attempt at launching its Steam Machine is still set to happen in early 2026, according to AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su.In an AMD earnings call, Su specifically mentions support for Valve Steam Machine, which will make use of an AMD processor. "From a product standpoint, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered steam machine early this year," Su states, stopping short of giving an exact timeframe.Early 2026 does align with what Valve suggested during the announcement of the Steam Machine, but since then, the company hasn't provided any updates on availability or pricing. The PC hardware landscape has, however, drastically changed since, with RAM and storage pricing exponentially increasing and potentially having an impact on numerous hardware launches for the foreseeable future.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Helldivers 2's Killer Robots Are Building Their Own Death Star And It's Our Fault Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:03:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/helldivers-2-killer-robots-are-building-their-own-death-star-and-its-our-fault/1100-6537921/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f A new twist in the ongoing saga of Helldivers 2 has emerged, as the Automatons have managed to steal the plans for Super Earth's Not-A-Death-Star space station. With the planet at risk of being annihilated by a replica of the planet-destroying symbol of peace, players are being mobilized to head to the home planet of the Automatons, Cyberstan. Do you want to know more?Fortunately, players will be getting some much-needed heavy firepower for when they return to the planet: the new Bastion Tank, which is teased in the trailer below. The assault vehicle is capable of carrying up to four Helldivers, and the 120mm cannon packs a punch. Each seated player has a role to play--driver, gunner, and two passenger seats to cover the flanks--so teamwork is essential. Even if you run out of ammo, you can use it as a makeshift Automaton-flattening machine for as long as its thick armor holds up in battle. There's also a new Premium Warbond to unlock weapons from this month, so a combination of laser-firing shotguns, sphere-shields, and explosive hammers will give Helldivers a fighting chance on the Automaton's home planet. Cyberstan was introduced in the very first Helldivers game, and this is one of several nods to the 2015 top-down shooter that has surfaced in Helldivers 2.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: New Management Sim Lets You Climb The Corporate Ladder And Sell Your Soul Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-management-sim-lets-you-climb-the-corporate-ladder-and-sell-your-soul/1100-6537915/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Do you have a disregard for people? Are you willing to use cutthroat tactics to climb the corporate ladder and temporarily satisfy shareholders by burning through employees? Then you might have what it takes to become a CEO--or at the very least--a winner in Manifesto. Developer Breakpoint Games describes it as a management sim that's all about "burnout, layoffs, and making sh*tloads of money."Just like the real world of Big Business, Manifesto will challenge players to put aside their feelings and become the problem as they work to survive corporate culture. The game has a very on-the-nose feature: It revolves around hiring employees, working them to the bone, and then burning them out to make extra profit as you chase increasingly impossible sales targets. Fortunately, you can juice the numbers with unlockable power-ups and by making unethical decisions to keep the sales flowing. Gallery Breakpoint Games says that Manifesto is merely a video game and that people shouldn't read between the lines because there's "zero chance" that it's a commentary on the mass layoffs that have regularly hit the gaming industry over the last couple of years. While the PC game doesn't have a release date yet, you can try out a demo for it on Steam.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: New Xenoblade Game Is On The Way, Voice Actor Seemingly Reveals Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 07:46:00 -0800 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-xenoblade-game-is-on-the-way-voice-actor-seemingly-reveals/1100-6537920/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f The chances of an upcoming Xenoblade announcement just leveled up, thanks to a listing by the voice actor for KOS-MOS in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Caitlin Thorburn apparently updated her Spotlight page with a credit for a Xenoblade Chronicles game in 2026.The Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit highlighted Thorburn's possible spoiler for a new Xenoblade game, which was first spotted by Famiboards. Thorburn's page notes her role as KOS-MOS once again for "Xenoblade Chronicles." This could mean Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is receiving a Definitive Edition--similar to the Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster that was released last year. Before that, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition arrived in 2020 for Switch. Considering it's been almost nine years since Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launched, it obviously wouldn't be new to see Nintendo and developer Monolith Soft revisiting the RPG.However, Thorburn's listing is vague enough that it's possible a new entry for Xenoblade Chronicles is on the way--whether that's 4 or a sequel to X. There's always the possibility that it's for a crossover game like Xenoblade Warriors or just a mistake entirely by the voice actor, too. Last but not least, KOS-MOS also appears in the Xenosaga series, so something new with that franchise could be in play.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: World of Warcraft's new Devourer Demon Hunter spec is not much fun Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:01:17 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/world-of-warcraft-wow-demon-hunter-devourer-class-design/ The next World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight, due on March 2, does not include a new character class, but it does include the next best thing — in theory. The Demon Hunter, a class that was originally added in 2016’s Legion expansion, gains a third subclass specialization, the Devourer, which is already available in-game. As is often (but not quite always) the case with WoW specializations, the Devourer looks and plays strikingly different to the other two Demon Hunter specs. On the face of it, Blizzard has served up an exciting new flavor of player character for this 21-year-old game.

Title: More Ways to Play, More Games to Love — GeForce NOW Wraps CES With Linux Support, Fire TV App, Flight Stick Controls Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-ces-2026-recap/ NVIDIA is wrapping up a big week at the CES trade show with a set of GeForce NOW announcements that are bringing more ways to play and more games to the cloud. From new native apps for Linux and Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks to hands-on throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) support for simulation fans and a new single sign-on option, GeForce NOW is expanding across devices and making it easier to jump straight into gameplay. Topping it off, a new wave of AAA titles — including IO Interactive’s 007 First Light, Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem and Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert — is gearing up to join the GeForce NOW library for high-fidelity, low-latency streaming across the globe. Get ready with the six new games available to stream this week. Leveling Up Where Gamers Play The family of GeForce NOW supported devices is growing. A new native GeForce NOW app is launching in beta for Linux, starting with Ubuntu 24.04 and later. This answers a long-standing request from the gaming community, turning compatible systems into RTX-powered gaming rigs that can stream at up to 5K resolution and 120 frames per second (fps) or 1080p 360 fps. With rendering handled in the cloud, Linux gamers can tap into ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and other RTX features without needing a local, high-end GPU.​ Things are heating up: GeForce NOW on Fire TV streaming sticks. A new native app for Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks transforms the tiny device into a big-screen cloud gaming endpoint, giving members another way to stream their PC libraries straight to the TV with a gamepad in hand. It builds on existing device support, making it easier for gamers to pick up and play from the couch without a console or gaming PC attached.​ Clearer Skies Ahead  Cleared for takeoff in the cloud. Flight control support has landed in the cloud, letting virtual pilots connect their favorite gear — including industry-leading Thrustmaster and Logitech setups — to custom HOTAS configurations. Whether locking in a full desktop throttle-and-stick rig or fine-tuning a split cockpit arrangement, everything’s ready for takeoff. Paired with the incredible RTX 5080-powered performance available to Ultimate members, plus ultralow-latency streaming and NVIDIA Reflex in supported titles, pilots can now enjoy ultra-precise, hyper-immersive flight experiences straight from the cloud. Soaring over detailed landscapes in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, dogfighting in War Thunder or exploring the stars in Elite Dangerous has never felt smoother. Easier Sign-Ins, Faster Game Time GeForce NOW now supports new games — and more ways to get into them faster. Because remembering passwords is so last season. Battle.net single sign-on recently joined the service, letting members jump straight into supported titles without juggling extra credentials each time. And coming soon early this year, Gaijin.net integration will make takeoff even smoother — one simple sign-on connects more game libraries across devices. Fewer passwords and pop-ups mean more time playing — whether on a desktop, laptop, handheld device or TV. Next Up in the Cloud A new wave of AAA titles is headed to GeForce NOW, bringing spies, survivors and freeswords to the cloud for members to stream across their favorite devices. The games each bring a distinct flavor — from stealthy espionage to nerve-shredding horror and gritty fantasy combat — and they’re all gearing up to join an already-stacked GeForce NOW library when they launch on PC. Earn the number. IO Interactive’s 007 First Light brings a modern James Bond origin story to the cloud when the PC title launches May 27, inviting members to step into the shadows as Bond begins his journey. Experience a balanced mix of stealth and action built around a “breathing” gameplay loop with IOI’s cinematic, set-piece-driven storytelling. Approach encounters through stealth, direct action or creative improvisation, with multiple viable paths to each objective that let players define Bond’s style. Welcome to the Wrenwood Hotel — late checkout is not recommended. Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem continues the legendary survival-horror saga with a new chapter that doubles down on tense exploration, eerie environments and resource-tight combat. Expect dimly lit corridors, unsettling encounters and that classic feeling of weighing every bullet and healing item before moving forward when playing as Grace, and exhilarating, death-defying action when playing as Leon. Everything matters in the cloud. Gaijin Entertainment’s Active Matter, coming this year, is a realistic military shooter where players join dangerous raids for loot or intense player vs. player battles set in a fractured multiverse.

Title: NVIDIA Brings GeForce RTX Gaming to More Devices With New GeForce NOW Apps for Linux PC and Amazon Fire TV Date: Tue, 06 Jan 2026 05:30:51 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-ces-2026/ Announced at the CES trade show running this week in Las Vegas, NVIDIA is bringing more devices, more games and more ways to play to its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service. Powered by GeForce RTX 5080-class performance on the NVIDIA Blackwell RTX platform, GeForce NOW Ultimate continues to raise the bar for PC gamers streaming from the cloud. GeForce RTX 5080-powered servers are live globally for Ultimate members, delivering up to 5K resolution 120 frames-per-second (fps) streaming and up to 360 fps at 1080p with NVIDIA Reflex technology support for ultralow-latency, competitive play. Cinematic-Quality Streaming mode enhances image clarity and text sharpness for visually rich single-player adventures on nearly any screen. New this year, GeForce NOW is expanding that performance to more platforms than ever, headlined by a native Linux PC app and a new app for Amazon Fire TV sticks. Flight-simulation fans are also getting flight controls support, and members everywhere gain faster access to more games thanks to new single sign-on integrations and upcoming AAA titles joining the cloud. Here Come the Platforms Linux PCs and Amazon Fire TV sticks are joining the GeForce NOW native app family, unlocking new ways to play in the cloud across desktops and living rooms. These new apps build on GeForce NOW’s existing support for Windows PCs, macOS, Chromebooks, mobile devices, smart TVs, virtual-reality devices and handhelds, all tapping into the same GeForce RTX 5080-class performance wherever members log in. Turn your Linux PC into an RTX gaming rig. A new native GeForce NOW app for Linux PCs, supported with Ubuntu 24.04 and later distributions, answers one of the top requests from the PC gaming community. Linux users can transform their compatible systems into GeForce RTX-powered gaming rigs, streaming supported PC titles from the cloud at up to 5K and 120 fps or 1080p 360 fps. With rendering handled in the cloud, high-end PC gaming is possible on Linux operating systems, breathing new life into older devices. Members can enjoy ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 4 and other RTX technologies without needing a local high-performance GPU. The app is designed to bring a seamless, native experience that fits naturally into Linux desktop workflows while giving access to the expansive GeForce NOW library, turning everyday Linux devices into RTX gaming powerhouses. The app is expected to enter a beta release early this year. Game on in the living room. A new native GeForce NOW app for select Amazon Fire TV sticks — starting with the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus (2nd Gen) and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen) — can bring RTX-powered PC gaming to another big screen in the home. Members can stream their compatible PC game libraries directly to Fire TV-connected displays to turn a compact streaming stick into a powerful cloud gaming rig. With support for gamepads and GeForce NOW’s familiar interface, Fire TV users can jump into their favorite supported games without a console or gaming PC attached to the TV. This builds on existing TV support and helps make GeForce NOW the easiest way to bring high-performance PC gaming into the living room. The app is expected to be available in countries where compatible Amazon Fire TV sticks and GeForce NOW are offered and will be launching early this year. Take Flight No fight, just flight in the cloud. GeForce NOW turns more devices into powerful cloud gaming rigs, and CES this year brings another of the community’s most-requested additions. Simulation fans are getting a major upgrade with flight controls support on GeForce NOW. Popular flight sticks and throttle systems from leading brands such as Thrustmaster and Logitech can be used as affixed hands-on throttle-and-stick desktop units or as separately mounted stick-and-throttle setups for custom cockpits. Combined with RTX 5080 performance, ultralow-latency streaming and NVIDIA Reflex in supported titles, flight controls let virtual pilots experience greater precision and deeper immersion in their favorite flight- and space-simulation games — including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Elite Dangerous and War Thunder. Members can build out detailed simulation setups at home while streaming the heavy lifting from the cloud when it launches early this year.. Blockbusters in the Cloud The GeForce NOW catalog includes thousands of supported games from top PC stores like Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox and others, with more joining every week. Backed by RTX 5080-class performance, members can stream everything from competitive shooters to expansive role-playing games with high frame rates, advanced graphics features and low latency.​ New AAA titles such as IO Interactive’s 007 First Light, Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem, Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert, and Gaijin Entertainment’s Active Matter are coming to GeForce NOW when they launch on PC, adding to an already robust lineup of new releases and fan favorites. License to stream. 007 First Light drops players into a modern James Bond origin story filled with stealth, espionage and cinematic action. Resident Evil Requiem continues the iconic survival-horror series with a new protagonist facing terrifying threats in a chilling new setting. Crimson Desert blends open-world exploration, cinematic storytelling and intense combat in a richly detailed fantasy world. Active Matter from Gaijin is a realistic military shooter where players join dangerous raids for loot or intense player vs. player battles set in a fractured multiverse. Members can look forward to seeing these and other upcoming hits arrive on the service, with updates shared regularly on GFN Thursdays. One Login, Many Worlds Just sign in once. The rest is game history. GeForce NOW is also making it faster to jump into gaming with new account and platform integrations. Recent updates introduced Battle.net automatic sign-in, letting members connect their accounts and access supported titles more quickly. That seamless experience is expanding to additional game stores, with Gaijin.net set to soon support automatic sign-in on GeForce NOW early this year. Members will be able to authenticate once and jump into War Thunder and other titles with fewer steps. Learn more about the latest NVIDIA-powered innovations at CES, running through Friday, Jan. 9.

Title: How John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando came to life, out March 12 Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:00:02 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/02/04/how-john-carpenters-toxic-commando-came-to-life-out-march-12/ Hey, everyone! We’re excited to finally share a gameplay overview for Toxic Commando and announce that the game launches on March 12. We’ve been working hard on this one, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on it. Play Video For those just catching up, Toxic Commando is our take on the co-op shooter genre, blending intense horde combat with vehicle-based gameplay in open environments. We wanted to give you a deeper look at how this project came together and what makes it tick. From concept to chaos The whole thing started with a pitch from Saber Interactive’s CEO, Matt Karch: World War Z meets Mudrunner. Picture enormous hordes of enemies swarming players who need to use a variety of vehicles to survive. We thought it was a cool concept that played to our strengths at Saber, so we dove into research and prototyping. What emerged was something we’re really proud of—a unique blend of vehicle-based gameplay in open environments combined with action-packed fights against massive enemy hordes. Striking the balance: Wheels vs. boots One question we get a lot is how we balanced the driving and FPS aspects. The answer? We didn’t want to force you into one playstyle or the other. Our game design encourages exploration, and it’s up to you how much you want to lean on vehicles to tackle missions. There are obvious benefits to driving—mobility, protection, mounted weapons—but we never want you to feel locked behind the wheel. Our goal was simple: make vehicles fun and beneficial for players who want to use them, then let you decide how much time you spend driving versus on foot. Both approaches should feel viable and, most importantly, fun to play. Co-op that puts strategy in your hands Most missions in Toxic Commando are nonlinear. You’ll have multiple subobjectives that can be completed in any order, which means you and your squad can choose to stick together or split up to tackle objectives in parallel. The choice is yours. Each playthrough also shakes things up with different vehicle spawns and class/loadout selections, so you’ll need to communicate with your team and plan accordingly to create good synergy. We wanted to encourage real player coordination and strategic thinking, adding a fresh layer to the classic co-op shooter experience. Building a world that feels real (and ridiculous) When it came to crafting the lore and universe of Toxic Commando, we had a few guiding principles. First, we wanted a world that felt recognizable but was set in the near future—just advanced enough to have some cool tech without feeling like a massive leap from our own reality. Second, we wanted our characters to be aware of the tropes they’re living through. They’re in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, dealing with completely over-the-top situations that are both terrifying and—let’s be honest—a bit ridiculous. We lean into that with the dialogue and scenarios, which create some really memorable interactions. But here’s the thing: while we embrace comedic elements and want players to have a blast, we’re not interested in making fun of the games and movies that inspired us. We approach this with earnestness because we genuinely love this stuff. ​​ Our love letter to ’80s action horror Speaking of influences, we drew heavily from ’80s films and television. The path to John Carpenter was a natural one: which great director or movies fit into that kind of sphere? John Carpenter’s Escape from New York is probably the most obvious reference, but you’ll also find DNA from Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, They Live, and Prince of Darkness woven throughout. John Carpenter’s involvement went beyond guidance, feedback, and direction on the story—he also composed Toxic Commando’s music. The team also looked at Dan O’Bannon’s Return of the Living Dead, Lamberto Bava’s Demons, Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator, and even a bit of The A-Team.  What we love about those properties is the big energy and bombastic tone. It wasn’t about copying specific set pieces or scenes—it was about capturing that feeling. There’s a lack of self-consciousness in a lot of late ’70s to early ’90s action and action-horror cinema that we really appreciated. Those characters aren’t winking at the camera; they’re in over their heads and rolling with it. Our characters know what zombies are, but when faced with a horde, they’re not stopping to break the fourth wall or crack wise about clichés—they’re fighting for survival. The past fifty years of cinema have given us wonderful examples of ragtag groups of underdog heroes—from Star Wars to Goonies to Guardians of the Galaxy—alongside true masterpieces of horror. We wanted to blend those ideas: what happens when you drop a bickering found family of action-adventure heroes into a horror movie? That’s the core of what we’re exploring with Toxic Commando. John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is scheduled to be released on March 12. We can’t wait for you to experience this new co-op zombie shooter with a vehicle twist. Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you out there!

It’s a game where an adorable cat is the main character. The storyline is refreshing, and I loved the overall vibe and puzzle elements.

Seeing and holding each one during the shoot, I thought they were all cool.”  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image “I can’t recall the exact name, but there was a purple shade with a subtle blue tint (Chroma Indigo)—it looked so elegant and stylish.

Title: The Steam Machine is still "on track" for its original release window, according to Valve’s chosen chipmakers Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 15:47:14 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-steam-machine-is-still-on-track-for-its-original-release-window-according-to-valves-chosen-chipmakers Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine reboot might not be as troubled by ongoing memory shortages as previously feared. Or, at least, not as delayed. Read more

Title: With its new season update trailer, Apex Legends would like you to know it has invented windows Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:02:50 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/with-its-new-season-update-trailer-apex-legends-would-like-you-to-know-it-has-invented-windows Apex Legends season 28 launches on February 10th, and appears to add competitive glazing to the now 7-year-old battle royale. The game's "newest tactical mechanic", so says the announcement post, is Hardlight Mesh, a glowy, bullet-resistant window that teams can either throw up to defend a hidey hole or, with enough lead, rockets, and/or angry kicks, break down to form a new ingress point. Holes in walls? That’s old hat. ApeLegs is disrupting holes in walls. There’ll probably be a TechCrunch article on it. Read more

Title: Nioh 3 review - A superb blend of soulslike splendour Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/nioh-3-review-a-superb-blend-of-soulslike-splendour My experience with the third Nioh reminded me of many other games — the open world of Elden Ring, the samurai/ninja gameplay of Assassin's Creed Shadows, and the dopamine-generating loot drops of Diablo. I make these comparisons not to disparage Nioh 3, but rather to praise its adroitness. This is a great game that pilfers elements from many disparate titles with the stealthy fluidity of a shinobi, blending them into an attractive whole that resembles a shiny samurai cuirass.

Title: The Pale Piper is Silksong with no combat, a wondrous Playdead-style world, and all the hope bleached out Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 13:49:40 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-pale-piper-is-silksong-with-no-combat-a-wondrous-playdead-style-world-and-all-the-hope-bleached-out Friends, I think I have unearthed the next Hidden Gem, though Hidden Arrow Trap might be the more appropriate framing. It’s a 2D precision platformer called the The Pale Piper that reminds me of Limbo, Hollow Knight and VVVVVV. It’s the work of FreeTimeDev, who is also known for Godot tools and synthwave jams on Itch.io. It’s out today on Steam, and the demo has killed me eleventy million times. Read more

Title: Amazon's Fallout countdown delivers possibly the only thing more pointless than a New Vegas or Fallout 3 remaster Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 12:09:40 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/amazons-fallout-countdown-delivers-possibly-the-only-thing-more-pointless-than-a-new-vegas-or-fallout-3-remaster While Amazon have been gradually dropping episodes of their Fallout show's second series,a timer has been ticking away. It's been on the show's website, which is a little interactive map. Surely this timer, set to expire once the final episode of the series went live, could herald the reveal of Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 3 remasters Bethesda may have in the works, some fans speculated.
