Title: Capcom Is Having A Busy Year On Switch 2, With Monster Hunter And Resident Evil Games Coming Very Soon Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 15:50:23 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/capcom-is-having-a-busy-year-on-switch-2-with-monster-hunter-and-resident-evil-games-coming-very-soon/ Capcom's support for Nintendo Switch 2 has been non-stop since day one, and it's only increasing as the publisher has revealed more upcoming releases this fall. During the September Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Monster Hunter Wilds and the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2. The Monster Hunter series had enjoyed a period of exclusivity on Nintendo platforms before, while 2021's Monster Hunter Rise had been developed originally as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. This Wilds port is also bringing back a staple feature of the series by allowing up to four hunters play together in local wireless co-op. Meanwhile, online full cross-play support is also available. Monster Hunter Wilds releases on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 4. This will also be ahead of the game's massive Ascendance expansion planned for 2027, which hopefully means Capcom plans to release this for all platforms simultaneously. It was also announced that the Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes will all be releasing on October 16 for Switch 2. This will include all existing content, including the Separate Ways campaign in Resident Evil 4. With Capcom having released Resident Evil Requiem and ports of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village earlier this year, it now means you can play all of the modern RE Engine Resident Evil games on Nintendo's console, while Resident Evil Veronica is also scheduled for early 2027. With releases of new titles including Pragmata and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, ports like Devil May Cry 5, and Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen still to come, this will likely go down as Capcom's busiest year for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Title: The Duskbloods Was A No-Show At The September Nintendo Direct And Now I’m Worried Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 15:45:34 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-duskbloods-was-a-no-show-at-the-september-nintendo-direct-and-now-im-worried/ The Duskbloods, From Software's new game and one of the Switch 2's biggest exclusives, was missing-in-action during the September Nintendo Direct. That normally wouldn't be too shocking, except for the fact The Duskbloods is still slated to release this year. With less than four months to go until the end of the year, the window for The Duskbloods is closing. One might have assumed the next game from the creators of Elden Ring would receive a release date as part of the presentation, as well as perhaps a glimpse at some of the maps and playable characters not featured in a recent The Duskbloods closed network test. The fact it wasn't shown or mentioned at all is more than a little worrying. The closed network test for The Duskbloods in August didn't exactly go as planned, with From Software actually cancelling the first day of sessions due to technical difficulties and server issues. Its problems were later resolved for the playtests' subsequent days, allowing players to jump in and take a stab at The Duskbloods' unique blend of cooperative and competitive soulsborne action. It wouldn't be surprising if, given the network test, From Software realized it needed more time to iron out The Duskbloods online multiplayer kinks.  Nintendo could, of course, be waiting to hold a special The Duskbloods Direct in the coming weeks just ahead of the game's launch. It's an approach Nintendo has been fond of more recently, holding dedicated Directs for big games like its Star Fox remake, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. In the case of Star Fox and Ocarina of Time, both games received release dates as part of their dedicated presentations. A similar scenario could definitely play out with The Duskbloods, though it's still odd that the game was a no-show at a presentation dedicated to games coming this winter and early next year.  Whether The Duskbloods will release this year, or be pushed into 2027, remains to be seen. Demand, however, is certainly there. A From Software employee recently revealed interest in The Duskbloods playtest surpassed that of Elden Ring Nightreign's.  Though we didn't get another look or release date for The Duskbloods, there were some big announcements during the latest Nintendo Direct. Metroid Ravenous, a new 2D entry in the series, is coming early next year. An open-world Kirby game, Kirby and the World Beyond, is slated for Spring 2027.

Title: A New Handheld-Only Switch 2 Game Is Coming From The Silent Hill 2 Remake Devs Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:37:33 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-new-handheld-only-switch-2-game-is-coming-from-the-silent-hill-2-remake-devs/ Onyx: The Dark Grip was a surprise announcement at today's Nintendo Direct, especially considering it's playable only in handheld mode. A Switch 2 exclusive, the 2.5D horror title comes from Bloober Team, the developer behind the Silent Hill 2 remake and Chronos: The New Dawn. The portable-only title will see players becoming "the mysterious Entity," using touch-screen controls to "manipulate reality," according to the YouTube trailer. The protagonist's name is Holden, and he enters a desolate, fog-filled town where things aren't normal (surprise, surprise). Along with the touch screen, motion controls are also utilized to "realign reality." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS7-Se04c8w Bloober Team has talked about this Nintendo project in the past, which was previously referred to as Project M. Additionally, the studio noted last year that it wants Switch 2 to become the scariest place in gaming. The Direct helped that cause, too, as Capcom revealed that ports of remakes for Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 are on the way for Switch 2 on October 16. As for Onyx: The Dark Grip, it's slated to hit Switch 2 in 2027.

Title: GeForce NOW Gives Gamers More Ways to Play at Gamescom 2026 Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:00:33 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-gamescom-2026/ NVIDIA’s Gamescom announcements are revealing what’s next for GeForce NOW, with new ways to play, more supported devices and platforms, and even more big PC games headed to the cloud. New NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 technology controls give members more ways to fine-tune gameplay, while expanded support for new Steam devices, GOG single sign-on, Firefox browser support and more Amazon Fire TV devices continue broadening where and how GeForce RTX-powered PC gaming can be enjoyed. Gamescom is also bringing a blockbuster lineup of PC games to GeForce NOW. CONTROL Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, The Blood of Dawnwalker and STAR WARS Zero Company are all coming to the cloud at launch.  For a limited time, members can also get CONTROL Resonant with the purchase of a 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership. The Gamescom extras don’t stop there. To celebrate, GeForce NOW is giving away more than 40 prizes in our Community Giveaway — including gaming hardware and GeForce NOW Ultimate memberships. There’s even more fun to come. Check out the list of 13 games joining the GeForce NOW library this week. Next-Level Cloud Gaming More ways to choose how to play. This fall, GeForce NOW is introducing new NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 controls in the cloud, giving Ultimate members more choice over how supported games look and perform, even without the latest hardware. Powered by NVIDIA RTX graphics, each control offers something different: DLSS Super Resolution sharpens image quality, while Dynamic Frame Generation delivers lower latency and stutter for smoother streaming, and Ray Reconstruction enhances ray-traced visuals. Together, these technologies make it easier to tune supported games for image quality, responsiveness or a preferred balance between the two.  Stay tuned to GFN Thursdays for details about best practices for enabling DLSS 4.5 overrides and how Dynamic Frame Generation can help Ultimate members enable more graphic settings while still getting smooth streaming. Stream full steam ahead with the Steam ecosystem. GeForce NOW is also adding community-requested support for Steam Machine with Steam Controller later this fall, and later for Windows and macOS, delivering more ways to play and making it even easier for longtime Steam players to jump into the cloud using familiar hardware. The additions build on existing Steam Deck support and expand compatibility across the Steam ecosystem. Get your GOG on with one click into the library. Launching GOG games just got even easier. With GOG single sign-on now available on GeForce NOW, members can securely link their account once, automatically sync supported games and launch them without having to sign in to GOG again — all with a single click. With fewer steps between opening the app, skipping any downloads and jumping into gameplay, it’s another way GeForce NOW continues streamlining access to PC gaming libraries, making it easier to play the GOG library of games on TV platforms since gamers are automatically logged into their GOG accounts. Find popular titles, like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, in the app in the dedicated GOG row. Or search and filter for GOG games, then jump into supported titles from almost anywhere — all streamed from the cloud. Check back on GFN Thursdays for the latest games joining the GeForce NOW library, including newly supported games streaming from GOG. Outfox nearly any device with GeForce RTX gaming. Plus, GeForce NOW is now officially supported on Firefox, expanding browser access across all major Windows browsers. Members can jump into supported PC games directly from Firefox without downloading a dedicated app. Ultimate members can enjoy GeForce RTX-powered gaming at up to 1440p and 120 frames per second. Simply download the latest version of Firefox and visit play.geforcenow.com to get started. The cloud handles downloads, installs and updates, keeping local storage free while games stay ready to play in the cloud.  Bring the fire to living rooms with GeForce NOW. GeForce NOW is expanding support to additional Amazon Fire TV devices. GeForce NOW first launched on Fire TV devices earlier this year, and will soon expand to the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, a 4K streaming stick that’s ready to game right out of the box. Streaming from the cloud means supported PC games are ready to play using a compatible controller, making it easy to enjoy GeForce NOW on the biggest screen in the house with even more options to play from the comfort of the couch.  And that’s not all the awesomeness from Amazon. Later this year, Fire TV users will be able to purchase GeForce NOW memberships directly through Amazon, creating a more seamless path from device setup to gameplay. These new features will arrive alongside some of the biggest games coming to the cloud throughout the year. Get Ready for Launch Five newly announced and highly anticipated games are coming to GeForce NOW at launch: CONTROL Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, The Blood of Dawnwalker and STAR WARS Zero Company.  Better yet, members can lock in one of them early: For a limited time, purchase a 12-month GeForce NOW Ultimate membership and receive CONTROL Resonant at launch at no additional cost, and be first to experience Faden’s next chapter. The offer is available Tuesday, Aug. 25, through Sunday, Sept. 27. Ultimate members can stream the full lineup with GeForce RTX 5080-class performance in the cloud, including NVIDIA DLSS 4, ray tracing, NVIDIA Reflex and Cinematic Quality Streaming technologies, with up to 5K high dynamic range on supported devices.  Whether diving into new worlds or returning to iconic franchises, GeForce NOW lets members skip expensive hardware upgrades, massive installs and storage management so they can jump straight into the action the moment each game launches. Here’s a closer look at what’s coming: Contain the chaos. Explore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranatural annihilation in Remedy’s CONTROL Resonant. Harness Dylan Faden’s extraordinary powers to battle the Hiss, the Mold and other reality-bending threats while searching for his sister, Federal Bureau of CONTROL Director Jesse Faden.

Fourteen years before the original Gears of War, join Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago in a gripping origin-story campaign as the Locust Horde first erupt from below, igniting a desperate fight for survival. Rally squads and fight on in multiplayer with a reimagination of Gears’ iconic PvE mode, Horde Siege, or go head to head with a refined versus PvP. Pick up the Oni Gauntlet. Fight across a twisted vision of Edo-period Kyoto in Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Wield the mystical Oni Gauntlet, master intense swordplay and battle relentless demonic Genma beneath mysterious clouds of Malice. Walk the line between day and night. Step into 14th-century Europe in Bandai Namco’s The Blood of Dawnwalker, where war, plague and rising vampire powers have reshaped history. Play as Coen, a young Dawnwalker torn between humanity and cursed strength, and shape his path while fighting to save his family. Command the galaxy’s finest. Lead an elite squad behind enemy lines in STAR WARS Zero Company, a single-player turn-based game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars.

Title: Leading Publishers Bring Blockbuster PC Games and Technology to NVIDIA RTX Spark Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 15:30:48 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/gamescom-rtx-spark-pc-games-technology/ NVIDIA is bringing the next wave of RTX gaming to the Gamescom conference running this week in Cologne, Germany, with support for new games, anti-cheat technologies and increased visual quality.  Electronic Arts, Embark and Ubisoft are among the latest game publishers and developers bringing their blockbuster titles to NVIDIA RTX Spark ahead of its launch this fall. They join the publishers that announced RTX Spark support at COMPUTEX in May, including KRAFTON, NetEase, Riot Games and XBOX.  NVIDIA is working closely with game developers and ecosystem partners to ensure today’s top PC games — including EA’s EA SPORTS F1 25 and Apex Legends, Ubisoft’s Anno 117: Pax Romana and Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders and THE FINALS — run seamlessly on RTX Spark devices. “We’re excited to bring Anno 117: Pax Romana to a new generation of RTX-powered PCs,” said Stéphane Jankowski, Ubisoft executive producer of Anno 117 : Pax Romana. “Our teams build the game to be seen wide: full districts, long sightlines, thousands of details at once. Seeing RTX Spark hold that level of fidelity from a single chip is genuinely impressive.” RTX Spark reinvents personal computing, bringing personal AI agents, advanced content creation and high-performance gaming together in a platform engineered from the ground up for the next wave of Windows PCs. For gamers, RTX Spark combines Windows devices with NVIDIA RTX technologies, including DLSS and Reflex.  Bringing Anti-Cheat to RTX Spark Supporting modern PC gaming goes beyond running the game itself. Many of today’s biggest online games rely on sophisticated anti-cheat technologies, to enable fair play across the multiple platforms these games run on.   NVIDIA has been working with EA to bring native EA Javelin Anticheat support to RTX Spark, including for EA’s biggest multiplayer games, such as EA SPORTS F1 25. RTX Spark launches this fall.  RTX Delivers Next-Generation Gaming RTX Spark is just one part of NVIDIA’s lineup of gaming announcements at Gamescom, including: DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction is available now, featuring NVIDIA’s latest second-generation transformer model to deliver even higher image quality in ray- and path-traced content. It replaces traditional denoisers with an NVIDIA supercomputer-trained AI network to reconstruct higher-quality pixels in the parts of a ray-traced frame where rays were not sampled. Path tracing comes to CONTROL Resonant and 007 First Light to deliver new levels of visual fidelity.  NVIDIA ACE technologies are coming to Aniimo in early 2027, letting players naturally interact with their creatures. Gears of War: E-Day includes RTX Mega Geometry integration, advancing image quality on GeForce RTX GPUs, alongside ray tracing and DLSS 4.5. RTX Remix keeps remastering PC classics, with a major Painkiller RTX mod update available now and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind RTX coming soon. GeForce NOW gives members more ways to play with new DLSS 4.5 controls, expanded support for Steam Machine and other devices and platforms, plus blockbuster PC games including CONTROL Resonant, Gears of War: E-Day and more coming to the cloud at launch. Find more on NVIDIA’s announcements at Gamescom in this GeForce article.

Title: Introducing No Man’s Sky: Cosmos update, live on PS5 today Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 13:00:28 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/09/09/introducing-no-mans-sky-cosmos-update-live-on-ps5-today/ Hello, it has been ten years now since the release of No Man’s Sky, and we wanted to do something special to mark the moment. The Cosmos update brings a massive overhaul to space itself and is free to download for existing PlayStation players today, and it’s a massive one. Play Video Space is such a huge part of No Man’s Sky, but space itself has remained largely unchanged in all our ten years of updates!  With Cosmos we wanted to make space feel truly alive. We ‘ve added asteroid belts, space hulks, outposts, missions, strange anomalies, and tons of mystery to explore. There’s so much to do in space that we’ve added a beautiful map to plot and keep track of every system. Then we started to think, could we make space feel more like home? What if you could own a Space Station? If you could build star bases, and create alliances with other players. Warping to a system now, your first action will often be a quick scan of the new solar system map to reveal a whole new array of space points of interest, each of which unlock whole new strands of missions and exploration. There are huge “space hulks”, which can be stripped and salvaged. The physics gravity gun can be used to pull chunks of metal from these wrecks, and can be thrown to a new tractor beam fitted to your ship. Become too greedy, and tear too much from a hulk, and it may begin to meltdown and explode. Scanning first for the highest value rewards is the smart move. Perhaps you take your new rewards to one of the new space outposts, to trade with alien lifeforms. Here you can buy maps, get information about the area and take on new missions from its inhabitants. Beware though, some of these facilities have been overwhelmed by biological hazards, and may need to be cleared out and reclaimed carefully. Gorgeous asteroid belts of rock and ice formations boast a large array of valuable crystal resources. Some rare asteroids are large enough to land on and even build a star base on. Why limit yourself to a base on an asteroid? Free-floating modular bases can be built anywhere in space. Build your own truck stop for star ships, orbital restaurant, or military outpost. There’s something incredibly special about floating in space, planets looming large below you, watching the universe go by. If that isn’t enough, at last players can buy the system’s space station for themselves! They can build and decorate it both inside and externally, and some wild creativity is possible. You can create your own themed Station, as your own clubhouse and have friends come and visit. Perhaps that Station then becomes the place where you found your own Alliance to which you can invite all players to join your new society. As an alliance, you can work together to build a networked empire of different stations and rise the new leaderboards to compete for the largest, richest or most prominent alliance. The center of the solar system is the sun, and finally players can try to undertake a perilous journey to reach the center of their own star system! Expeditions have become a very popular feature of No Man’s Sky. For our 10th year, we have done something a bit special. Each milestone of the anniversary expedition will correspond to a specific No Man’s Sky update from the 40+ we have released over the last decade. Each milestone’s gameplay reflects some of the features that were introduced with that update, peppered with some interesting logs about how that update came into being. It’s like a journey through time, and honestly we’ve found it a little emotional to put together. Cosmos is a massive update, but it’s also just another step in our journey together. Right from the beginning, our game, our updates and our patch notes are a love letter from us to the community. Thank you so much for joining us. Our journey continues.

Title: Introducing Dead or Alive 6 Last Round’s new fighter, Minato Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 12:00:06 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/09/09/introducing-dead-or-alive-6-last-rounds-new-fighter-minato/ When we launched Dead or Alive 6 Last Round back in June, we promised that the game’s launch was just the beginning. Tomorrow, the next evolution of the title begins as we introduce the highly anticipated new character, Minato, into the mix. We can’t wait to see what everyone thinks of the new character once they get the chance to play as her, but first, let me give a quick introduction on who Minato is and what she’s all about. Who is Minato? Minato is a seemingly ordinary female student attending school in Tokyo. She’s a cheerful and outgoing girl who could be found anywhere, yet there’s an air of otherworldliness about her. While it’s known that she lives on her own away from her parents, much of her private life remains a mystery, and although she’s well-liked by her friends, they also view her as a mysterious person. That said, Minato occasionally displays astonishing physical abilities. She began dancing as a casual hobby, with the simple goal of making both dancers and spectators feel cheerful and positive. She then went on to make her debut at a world-class dance competition and won first place on her very first try, earning her the nickname Tokyo JK. Around that time, Minato began disappearing somewhere in a hurry after school and on weekends. She claims it’s part-time work, but the true nature of her activities remains unclear. Occasionally, she is seen chatting amiably on her smartphone with someone named NiCO. Meanwhile, M.I.S.T.’s cyberneticist NiCO has just hired a part-time worker (who goes by a strange codename) for a certain experiment. The experiment seems to be progressing smoothly for the most part, but she cannot understand why this part-timer calls NiCO her best friend, worries about her, and acts so close toward her. To this day, Minato’s true identity and real purpose remain shrouded in mystery. Minato’s fighting style Behind Minato’s gentle appearance lies extraordinary physical ability. Having already won a world-class dance competition, she applies her sense of rhythm, athleticism, and empathy to combat as well. Minato uses a contact lens-type device currently under development by NiCO that converts the movements of other fighters into signals her body can physically replicate, allowing her to freely master the techniques used by DOA tournament participants. As a dance enthusiast, she favors flashy, visually striking moves and fights with the same joy as if she were dancing. With a wide range of attacks, including vertical and horizontal spins, she is a character that’s easy for beginners to use. One of her signature moves is the Minato Shuffle. This is a unique dance step that can be performed directly from specific attacks. From this dance, she can unleash multiple powerful follow-up attacks. Follow-up attacks from the Minato Shuffle are technical and require the player’s creativity, making her a character that offers a satisfying challenge even for advanced players. Minato’s backstory To make her approachable even for those new to the Dead or Alive series, we focused on creating a positive and relatable character image without being overly fixated on typical fighting game tropes or Dead or Alive specific elements. Dead or Alive features an expansive narrative filled with various factions and the distinctive characters that belong to them. To ensure that Minato can move freely and vibrantly, we’ve positioned her as a mysterious figure who belongs to no specific faction — revealing only that she is NiCO’s friend. We chose a Japanese student as the visual concept because we believed it could embody an image that is free, approachable, and positive — one without pretense or political maneuvering—and that conveys a sense of the future and growth. Above all, we determined it was the most suitable motif for expressing both cute and beautiful — elements that Team Ninja excels at — in perfect harmony. We hope you’ll enjoy this game through Minato, the newest addition to the DOA world…but not the last!

Title: Cult classic shoot-em-up Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil has a remake out now Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 15:55:16 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/cult-classic-shoot-em-up-touhou-koumakyou-the-embodiment-of-scarlet-devil-has-a-remake-out-now Touhou Project is Schrödinger’s shoot-em-up series: simultaneously a decades-running, 20-game strong (not counting spinoffs) multimedia juggernaut spawning one of the most active fan communities of the post-Trekkie age, and also some weeb curiosity that no-one I’ve ever spoken to has ever heard of. Either way, it’s been around for yonks, and has just seen the launch of its first official remake, of foundational 2002 entry Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Read more

Title: Blood of Dawnwalker devs Rebel Wolves are already looking for someone to help write a sequel, so here's where I'd like to see its vampy tale go next Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:54:03 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/blood-of-dawnwalker-devs-rebel-wolves-are-already-looking-for-someone-to-help-write-a-sequel-so-heres-where-id-like-to-see-its-vampy-tale-should-go-next Look, I know it's way to early to be talking about sequels to The Blood of Dawnwalker, given Rebel Wolves' vampire RPG hasn't even been out a week as I write this. However, the game's devs are already putting pieces in place to get on with making such a game, so with help from strong spoiler tags, I'm doing it. THIS IS A VERY STRONG SPOILER WARNING FOR THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Read more

Title: Rally Point: Strong simulation and team building can't carry Menace forever Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 13:10:37 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rally-point-strong-simulation-and-team-building-cant-carry-menace-forever It's probably poor form to do another "what I said in a group chat" (this time, to culture critic Rowan Kaiser. Hermits can namedrop too, shut up) intro, but "Oh i already liked menace, that's why I hate it" feels too useful to spurn. I don't really hate Menace. You've been there, though: a game you enjoy, perhaps even begin to love, but it keeps aggravating you, forcing you to vent before you can play it more. This one is carried through that by a core of turn-based shooting, with some interesting simulation and character levelling that often work well together. And some of its annoyances are natural update fodder during its early access period, as perhaps are some areas that currently feel lacking. But man, does it need that carrying sometimes. Read more

Title: Zombiepunk action RPG Stupid Never Dies is a vibrant feast for the eyes, ears, hands and teeth, even if it is a smidge overwhelming Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2026 12:30:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/zombiepunk-action-rpg-stupid-never-dies-is-a-vibrant-feast-for-the-eyes-ears-hands-and-teeth-even-if-it-is-a-smidge-overwhelming It's hard to know where to start when talking about Stupid Never Dies. An action RPG built on style, excess and punk ideology. I mean, within the first minutes of my demo starting, I am flushing undead protagonist Davy down a toilet in an abandoned shopping mall to arrive in a hellish arena. There is a lot going on. Read more
