Title: Capcom's New Original Game, Pragmata, Just Did Something Very Impressive Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:01:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/capcoms-new-original-game-pragmata-just-did-something-very-impressive/1100-6539508/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f In a gaming landscape that feels like it's dominated by sequels, remakes, and remasters, Capcom's new original game, Pragmata, launched recently and got off to a very good start.

Title: Nintendo's Extremely Rare FMV Arcade Game from 1974 Has Been Restored By A Dedicated Fan Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:18:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendos-extremely-rare-fmv-arcade-game-from-1974-has-been-restored-by-a-dedicated-fan/1100-6539509/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f While Nintendo has been a prominent force in the game industry for decades, it took some time before they became the absolute powerhouse they are today. Long before their dominance in home consoles, Nintendo manufactured playing cards, toys, and various gadgets--and, during the 1970s and 80s, they invested heavily in creating coin-operated entertainment for arcades. Even years before Donkey Kong became a company-defining hit, Nintendo was doing some wild things in arcades.Wild Gunman '74, named such by gaming historian Kate Willaert to avoid confusion with other Nintendo products bearing the same name, was engineered by Nintendo's legendary creator and inventor Gunpei Yokoi. It was a massive lightgun game that used full-motion video to depict Wild West quick-draw shootouts with outlaws--an absolute technological marvel for the time that earned a lot of fawning press in coin-operated trade magazines. Unfortunately, that impressive technology did not translate to sales for the expensive cabinet, with roughly 100 units being sold, making Wild Gunman '74 extremely rare. Because of the machine's age, size, proprietary technology, and obscurity, working Wild Gunman '74 units are practically impossible to find--only one original machine is known to exist, in the hands of a private collector.But when Canadian arcade collector and repair expert Callan Brown got ahold of some of the original Wild Gunman 74 film reels used in the arcade machine from an eBay auction, he felt a need to try and restore it to its full, working glory--which he documented in a detailed YouTube video.Continue Reading at GameSpot

"As part of our compliance with global regulations, you'll need to verify your age later this year to continue using PlayStation communication features, such as messages and voice chat.

Title: This Windrose Mod Makes Fast Travel Way More Convienent Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:10:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-windrose-mod-makes-fast-travel-way-more-convienent/1100-6539506/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Fast travel in Windrose can be a bit of a pain, but a new mod for the swashbuckling survival-crafter makes it as simple as clicking on the map.Normally, to fast travel in Windrose, you need to create at least two fast travel points yourself, using the somewhat rare Fast Travel Bell item. These points can only be placed on coastlines, and when you're on foot, only allow you you to travel between the points when you physically interact with one--although you can also fast travel to any fast travel point while on your ship. Fast-traveling while on foot isn't exactly convenient, especially when you find yourself in the middle of an island far from the shore. Thankfully, a mod from creator yakuzadeso (which you can find and install over on CurseForge) makes fast travel a breeze. With the Fast Travel From Anywhere mod installed, fast traveling between points is as easy as opening the map and clicking on the desired fast travel point location. The limitation of needing to physically interact with the fast travel point is removed, as is the need to have a minimum of two fast travel points placed.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: The Last Of Us Season 3 Cast: Everyone Who's Coming Back And Joining The Show Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 11:06:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/the-last-of-us-season-3-cast-everyone-whos-coming-back-and-joining-the-show/2900-7644/ HBO's popular The Last of Us TV show, based on Naughty Dog's game series, is coming back for its third and possibly final season.Ahead of its expected 2027 premiere, The Last of Us Season 3 is now in production in Canada, and much of the cast has been revealed, including returning stars and newcomers. In this gallery, we're rounding up all the cast members we know about so far.Season 3 won't have everyone that HBO planned for. Catherine O'Hara was planned to reprise her role as Gail in Season 3, but she passed away in January 2026. Danny Ramirez, meanwhile, who played Manny in Season 2, had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. He was replaced in the role by Jorge Lendeborg Jr.It's expected we will learn more about the Season 3 cast in the weeks and months ahead, so keep checking back for more.With production on Season 3 now underway, images and video from the set have begun to leak. Recently, we got a closer look at Abby and Lev on a rooftop. Season 3 is expected to debut in 2027.As for the game series, Naughty Dog is rumored to be working on The Last of Us 3, which would be the developer's second in-development project, joining the new IP Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Bella Ramsey as EllieBella Ramsey, one of the main stars of Seasons 1 and 2, is coming back for Season 3, but they aren't expected to play as big a role. That's because Season 3 will focus on Abby's story. We'd be very surprised, however, if Ramsey is totally absent from Season 3, especially if it is indeed the show's final run of episodes. Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Kaitlyn Dever stepped into the world of The Last of Us in Season 2 as Abby, and she's coming back for Season 3 in a bigger role. As mentioned, that's because Season 3's story focuses more on Abby. Joel (Pedro Pascal) killed Ellie's father, Jerry, and Abby tracked him down and murdered him with a golf club in Season 2. Then Ellie went after Abby. Season 2 ended in dramatic fashion with Ellie and Abby squaring off. Patrick Wilson as Jerry Patrick Wilson known for his roles in The Phantom of the Opera and The Conjuring franchise, will play Jerry. He is Abby's father, and given that Season 2 took place after Jerry was killed by Joel, we can expect Season 3 to go back in time to show more of his relationship with Abby. Clea DuVall Clea DuVall has joined the cast for Season 3, but there is no word yet as to who she may play. DuVall is known for her roles on the TV shows The Handmaid's Tale and Veep. Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as Manny Jorge Lendeborg Jr., who starred in the Transformers movie Bumblebee, joins The Last of Us Season 3 as Manny, taking over for Marvel actor Danny Ramirez. He had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.

Gabrielle will also play the main role in Naughty Dog's upcoming game Intergalactic. Her connections to Naughty Dog don't end there, as she also appeared in the Uncharted movie alongside Tom Holland. Image credit: Emma McIntyre / Staff / Getty Spencer Lord as OwenAnother one of Abby's friends, Owen, is coming back in Season 3 and he will be played once again by Spencer Lord (Heartland, Family Law). Michelle Mao as Yara Michelle Mao is a newcomer for The Last of Us Season 3, and she plays Yara, the former member of the Seraphites and the older sister of Lev. Mao is known for her roles on Bridgerton and the Goosebumps TV show. Image credit: Mat Hayward / Stringer / Getty Kyriana Kratter as LevThe most controversial casting for Season 3 was Kyriana Kratter as Lev, the younger brother of Yara.As in the game, Lev will be depicted in the television show as a 13-year-old transgender boy. Kratter, who is 15 and played breakout character KB in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, is understood to be cisgender.HBO reportedly conducted an "inclusive casting call" and chose Kratter. While there is no doubt about Kratter's acting skills, the casting decision has attracted criticism online. Image credit: Jeff Spicer / Stringer / Getty Li Jun Li as Miriam One of the stars of the movie Sinners, Li Jun Li, will play Miriam in The Last of Us Season 3. Variety broke the news, revealing that she will play the Seraphite and mother of Lev and Yara.

Title: Dorohedoro season 2 is finally here and somehow wilder than ever Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 03:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/dorohedoro-season-2-netflix-impressions-characters/ Over six years after the release of its first season, Dorohedoro is back with its incessant violence, gory hijinks, and absurd characters. Season 2, streaming now on Netflix, drops you back into its dark and chaotic world, but this time the attention shifts away from its alligator-faced protagonist, Kaiman, to focus on the varied cast that populates the anime by Mappa Studio, based on the manga by Q Hayashida.

Title: Kit Connor's Elden Ring casting makes perfect sense if you've seen his underrated war movie Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/kit-connors-elden-ring-casting-makes-perfect-sense-if-youve-seen-his-underrated-war-movie/ Elden Ring, the 2028 IMAX-sized movie version of Hidetaka Miyazaki's action RPG, may complete an unlikely trilogy for writer-director Alex Garland. Garland is no stranger to genre fiction — he’s written 28 Days Later, its two recent sequels, Sunshine, and directed Ex Machina and Annihilation— but zooming out, the movie looks less like a heady storyteller (and avid gamer) getting his crack at a Lord of the Rings-flavored epic than a logical conclusion to an exploration of memory and combat.

Title: Elden Ring movie cast: Who's playing who in Alex Garland's live-action movie? Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:33:10 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/elden-ring-movie-cast-characters-alex-garland-a24/ A24 and Alex Garland's live-action adaptation of Elden Ring finally has a release date and a confirmed cast. But the recent announcement that actors Kit Connor, Ben Whishaw, Cailee Spaeny, and Nick Offerman are starring in the adaptation of FromSoftware's hit video game leaves fans with a big question: Who are they playing?

Title: Smooth Moves: 90 Frames-Per-Second Virtual Reality Arrives on GeForce NOW Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 13:00:09 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-virtual-reality-update/ It’s a double feature on GFN Thursday. This week, GeForce NOW offers smoother sights in virtual reality (VR) and a sprawling new land to conquer. Streaming at 90 frames per second (fps) comes to supported VR headsets. And Crimson Desert, which recently surpassed 3 million wishlist additions on Steam, debuts in the cloud with GeForce RTX 5080‑class power. Catch it as part of four new games on GeForce NOW VR, but Make It 90 FPS Power levels rising … to 90 fps. VR in the cloud is getting a smoothness upgrade. GeForce NOW is boosting support for Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest devices and Pico devices to stream at up to 90 fps for Ultimate members, bringing crisper motion and more responsive gameplay straight from the cloud. The app update is starting to roll out to members starting today. Members can transform the space around them into a personal gaming theater with GeForce NOW, playing favorite PC titles on a massive virtual screen. With support for up to 90 fps for Ultimate members, gameplay feels smoother, movement more natural and action more comfortable. All premium members can continue to enhance their experiences with NVIDIA RTX and DLSS technologies in supported titles. Just fire up GeForce NOW on supported VR platforms, step into a virtual big screen and let the cloud handle the heavy lifting. From chill sessions in a virtual theater to high‑octane firefights, 90 fps helps keep every moment looking sharp and feeling responsive. A Storm Brews Into the cloud with “Crimson Desert.” Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert, a stunning, open‑world action adventure set in a war‑torn fantasy land, pairs large‑scale exploration with cinematic storytelling and hard‑hitting, combo‑focused combat. One moment is a quiet ride across windswept plains, the next is a chaotic clash against towering foes with mystical power effects lighting up the battlefield. Follow Kliff, a mercenary whose close‑knit group is destroyed in a sudden ambush. The journey centers on exploring a massive, detailed world, taking on story missions, riding mounts, finding supplies and facing dangerous enemies as Kliff works to bring his scattered companions back together. GeForce NOW brings 5080-class power to the game across supported devices, delivering high settings, smooth action and lush visuals without the need to worry about system specs. Members can jump into its cinematic battles and sweeping landscapes on the device of their choice, from low‑spec laptops to compatible TVs and mobile devices. Joining the Family It’s time to make an offer no tank can refuse. World of Tanks is rolling out the red carpet for Battle Pass Special: Mafia from March 19-29, welcoming the respectable family from the fine city of Lost Heaven and bringing their signature mix of loyalty, ambition and firepower to the battlefield. Recruit iconic characters from 2K’s original Mafia game, unlock stylish 2D looks like Little Italy and Lost Heaven Noir, and command the Italian Predatore tank to make sure every deal ends with a bang. Respect is earned — and it’s best earned playing on GeForce NOW, where the action hits fast and smooth — powered by the cloud. In addition, members can look for the following: Everwind (New release on Steam, March 17, GeForce RTX 5080-ready) Retro Rewind – Video Store Simulator (New release on Steam, March 17) Crimson Desert (New release on Steam, March 19, GeForce RTX 5080-ready) Fallout 3 (Steam) Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Motor Sport, Icarus and Ark Survival Ascended — currently available to all GeForce NOW members — will no longer be available on the free tier starting Wednesday, April 1, as the basic rig type does not meet the game’s updated minimum system requirements.

Title: Ball x Pit: Shadow Update arrives April 27 Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:00:22 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/20/ball-x-pit-shadow-update-arrives-april-27/ Hey everyone, last time you heard from us was back in January where we shared some fun facts about Ball x Pit’s game concept, its inspiration, and pretty much all the brand new content that we packed into the first free major update titled The Regal Update. The incredible PlayStation Blog team wanted us back to share first details with you on the second free content update coming to Ball x Pit titled The Shadow Update, which releases in just one week on April 27 for PS5. Play Video Time starts to bend in this update, with some new ball evolutions that freeze it and warp it entirely. Expect your runs to get a little more chaotic as we introduce some new balls, passives, and characters alongside the addition of a new building all detailed below! Two new characters The Tunneller is a scrappy miner whose shots don’t stop at the edge; they wrap around the screen and come back in from the other side, making just about every angle fair game. The Tiptoer is a fragile but deadly ninja who stays undetected by enemies at close range at the cost of lower health and damage. 11 New Balls Venom stacks up with each hit, slowing targets and chipping away at them until enough buildup finally locks them in place with paralysis. Time leans into area control, dropping a timesnare that freezes enemies caught in its range. Erosion cuts straight through foes, with each hit shaving off a percentage of their current health, making it incredibly nasty against tougher targets. Time Bomb adds a bit of delayed chaos, planting an explosive that goes off after a short wait. Timestop does exactly what it sounds like, freezing absolutely everything on the field for a few seconds before going on cooldown. Warp keeps things unpredictable, blinking to a random spot on the field upon every enemy hit while ramping up speed as it goes. Sniper shots cut straight through enemies but burn out the moment they hit a wall or loop back, trading longevity for a boosted critical chance that rewards precise enemy line ups. Heart Swallower gives each hit a certain chance to drain a bit of life and heal you for one while also weakening the target’s attack by a percentage, but remember each enemy can only be drained once. Plus a few more that we won’t spoil just yet.. Four new passives Full Metal Rapier thrives on chaos with each ball scaling its damage based on how many baby balls and enemies are currently on the field. Arrow of Fate flips defense into offense, making you immune to incoming projectiles and firing back a burst of baby balls whenever you’re hit. Argent Stopwatch plays with momentum, starting balls off at 150% damage before shaving off 30% with every bounce, so timing and positioning matter more than ever. Sword Breaker keeps things steady but scalable, lowering base damage to 75% while quietly stacking an extra 1% for every enemy in play. 1 new buildings Better start thinking of a spot to drop the Guildhall! This new building will allow players to re-roll previously chosen character upgrades. Thank you again to all players supporting and for making Ball x Pit what it is! We hope you’re excited to jump back into the pit when Ball x Pit : The Shadow Update releases for free next week, April 27 on PS5.

Title: Infinity Nikki Version 2.5 launches April 23 Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:00:02 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/20/infinity-nikki-version-2-5-launches-april-23/ Infinity Nikki Version 2.5, launching April 23, expands the adventure on PlayStation 5, with visual upgrades and a more seamless photo experience. This update introduces the Boneyard—a brand-new region with a deeper, more mature tone—while also enhancing performance and image quality, especially on PlayStation 5 Pro with updated PSSR support. Sharper visuals and smoother performance on PS5 Pro With Version 2.5, we’ve focused on improving visual clarity and overall gameplay stability. On PlayStation 5 Pro, updated PSSR enhances image sharpness, visual clarity, and frame-rate stability, with improvements most noticeable in large areas or during combat. We’ve also enhanced environmental detail, lighting, and long-distance rendering. Outfit materials—especially layered fabrics and textures—now appear more defined, making styling moments feel even more rewarding up close. A more seamless photo experience We know many players enjoy capturing their favorite looks and moments, so we’ve made the photography experience easier. Screenshots can now be saved to the PlayStation system gallery, removing extra steps between taking a photo and sharing it. Whether you’re documenting an outfit, a location, or a story moment, it’s now quicker to capture and revisit them anytime. A new region: the Boneyard Version 2.5 introduces the Boneyard, a new open-world region centered on themes of reincarnation, destiny, and choice. It’s a quieter, more atmospheric region, with environments shaped by dragon bones, ruins, and lingering mysteries. As you explore, more of its story unfolds through the world itself. With the visual improvements on PlayStation 5 Pro, this region feels even more immersive—especially when moving through its expansive spaces or taking in distant views. Outfit abilities play a bigger role in exploration We’ve continued expanding how Ability Outfits interact with the world. New additions, such as a new Archery Ability Outfit, offer greater flexibility in movement and interaction. At the same time, other abilities—like Dragonbone-related mechanics—are more deeply integrated into the environment and its challenges. These updates bring exploration and ability choices closer together. Infinity Nikki Version 2.5 will be available for free starting April 23 PT / April 24 CEST on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. We hope you enjoy exploring the Boneyard and discovering all it has to offer.

Title: NTE: Neverness to Everness out April 29, new gameplay details revealed Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:00:07 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/20/nte-neverness-to-everness-out-april-29-new-gameplay-details-revealed/ NTE: Neverness to Everness is a supernatural urban open-world game coming to PS5 April 29. You will step into the shoes of an Appraiser, embarking on an extraordinary supernatural adventure in the bustling metropolis of Hethereau. Today, we’re detailing the game’s PS5 Pro enhancements, revealing new modes and a first person perspective option. But first, we want to talk about two exciting collaborations coming to the game.  Iconic collaborations: Persona 5 and Porsche  The heartbeat of any great city is its music. We wanted driving through Hethereau to feel unforgettable, which is why NTE’s in-car radio features an iconic lineup of legendary Persona 5 tracks and fan-favorite Tower of Fantasy anthems. Better yet, the new Walkman feature lets you pull those same beats from the dashboard and carry them with you as you explore the neon-lit streets. These Persona 5 tracks will be available in-game from launch.  Play Video But true urban style isn’t just the perfect soundtrack—it’s your unique way of cruising the streets. Through our collaboration with Porsche, players will get behind the wheel of iconic Porsche models, staging a resonance of speed and luxury in the supernatural metropolis. This collaboration brings the ultimate high-performance luxury experience to every NTE player. The Porsche collaboration will be available as part of a future game update.  ​​ Deeper immersion: Co-living and first-person dates We want you to feel like a resident, not just a visitor. That’s why we’re introducing a first-person perspective option. The moment you switch over, everything changes, from the way you view towering skyscrapers to the intimate details of your apartment. Speaking of intimacy, our Hangout and Move-In Systems allow you to bring the story home:  Hangout: Invite your favorite companions to ride along as you cruise through the neon-lit streets. Move-In Invites: From luxury penthouses to hillside villas, choose your dream home and share your daily life with your favorite characters. Define your life: The City Tycoon system In NTE, the city isn’t just a backdrop for combat. It’s a living, breathing stage for your own story. We believe that a true urban open world should offer total freedom, letting you be more than just an anomaly hunter. Build your own business empire. Run storefronts, stack assets, fill your garage with supercars, and earn your title as a true City Tycoon. For a more grounded experience, spend a lazy afternoon driving a Swift Cab for extra cash, or pick up a few Sterry Express delivery runs to get a taste of the everyday hustle. When the neon starts to wear on you, grab a rod and find a secluded spot for a bit of fishing. It’s the perfect change of pace. And for those who thrive on social energy and high stakes, you can challenge your friends to adrenaline-fueled street races or test your wits in a tense round of online Mahjong, where every tile could turn the tide. New stages: Bank Heist & Asymmetric Horror We are pushing the boundaries of what co-op stages can be with two radically different experiences: one built to test your strategy, the other designed to break your nerves.  Pink Paws Heist delivers the fast-paced, high-stakes cooperative experience players have been asking for. Designed for squads of one-to-four players, this isn’t just about clearing waves of enemies. Success hinges on precise coordination between teammates.Every second counts. You have a strict time window to infiltrate the vault, secure loot, and extract. With the clock ticking and waves of anomalies closing in, the pressure never lets up.  In sharp contrast to the Heist’s all-out intensity, Coldmount Hospital is a descent into asymmetrical psychological horror. Here, we trade speed for atmosphere and raw power for investigative instinct. You are being hunted. A powerful entity stalks the hospital’s decaying corridors, and going in head-on is a death sentence. You must master the art of hiding, using the environment to break line of sight and stay silent. PlayStation 5 features NTE fully harnesses the power of PS5 to deliver a supernatural visual feast. Enjoy stunning 4K resolution with stable frame rates and seamless map loading for a truly fluid open-world experience. From dynamic weather systems to dazzling supernatural anomaly effects, every detail is designed for total immersion. DualSense wireless controller features: Haptic feedback: Feel the weight of every combat strike and the intensity of key story moments through precision vibrations. Adaptive triggers: Experience the physical resistance of braking and the surge of acceleration as you drive through the city. Light bar effects: We’ve integrated unique light bar effects for specific characters… we’ll let you discover those for yourself at launch. Enhanced for PS5 Pro For players on PS5 Pro, NTE supports the latest PSSR technology. Leveraging the PS5 Pro’s enhanced GPU, the game utilizes higher internal rendering resolutions and adds advanced effects like volumetric fog and Distance Field Ambient Occlusion. PSSR2 ensures a shimmering-free, stable 4K output at a silky-smooth 60Hz, providing the ultimate urban exploration experience. NTE: Neverness to Everness launches on PS5 April 29.

Title: How to buy a used graphics card: spotting scams and dodging duds in the memory shortage crisis Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:20:58 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/how-to-buy-a-used-graphics-card-spotting-scams-and-dodging-duds-in-the-memory-shortage-crisis Oh boy, you’re looking to buy a new graphics card in 2026. As exciting as that is, howeber, there is one big catch: you have to buy a new graphics card in 2026. The impact of ongoing memory shortages is as well-documented as it is terrible, so you should already know that a new-new GPU means sky high prices. Used graphics cards have therefore become an increasingly attractive option, despite relative price bumps of their own. But where you might score a discount by buying through classified ads, you must also contend with rampant scammers, potential mining and AI-use degradation, and the usual concerns with second-hand anything: is it actually in "good condition?" Fortunately, even in the cowboy world of used components, there are some general tips and advice worth considering to help find your way to a pre-loved GPU that will give you many years of enjoyable playing. Hopefully, without any panicked calls to a customer service helpline. Read more

I line up this week's new PC games and shoe them into the Maw like sparkling meteors. Read more

Title: The shake up to Arc Raiders Expeditions may turn the extraction shooter into a week-long bloodbath, but it could pair well with the "significant changes" planned for its skill tree Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:45:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-shake-up-to-arc-raiders-expeditions-may-turn-the-extraction-shooter-into-a-week-long-bloodbath-but-it-could-pair-well-with-the-significant-changes-planned-for-its-skill-tree Embark Studios are making a big change to Arc Raiders Expeditions, the recurring event where players opt to reset most of their account data in return for some sweet, sweet skill points and buffs. It may seem like a small change – with you earning rewards for damage dealt within the event, instead of wealth accumulated – but it could turn the game that's become known for its friendly, helpful community into a bit of a bloodbath.
