Title: Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred review - A compelling conclusion delivered with a panache that proves Blizzard still got it Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.vg247.com/diablo-4-lord-of-hatred-expansion-review Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has, without question, been one of my most anticipated releases of 2026. Diablo 4 is likely my most played game ever by sheer hour count, so it’s easy to see why this expansion is so high up on my list. However many rakes Blizzard has stepped on over the course of the game’s live service, however many seasons or events it botched, I maintain that no other ARPG matches Diablo 4 in either game feel or production value.

Title: Roblox Can’t Seem To Keep Anyone Happy Right Now Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:34:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-cant-seem-to-keep-anyone-happy-right-now/1100-6539510/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Roblox has a tricky tightrope to walk between making its online sandbox safe and keeping it fun. On one side, players rail against changes locking off social settings and requiring privacy-threatening age checks, and on the other side Roblox is beset by lawmakers claiming the platform isn't doing enough. It's a balancing act, but at the moment Roblox doesn't seem to be pleasing anyone.Roblox has long faced controversy fuelled by its young-skewing player base, from accusations of child labor exploitation to a bombshell Bloomberg report that alleged Roblox had become a hotbed for child predators. The company has faced legal action from many states across the US and internationally, including from LA, Australia, Texas, Louisiana, California, and more.The company's responses to such accusations haven't always made for great PR, from CEO David Baszucki's notoriously poor handling of a New York Times interview to studio head Stefano Corazza saying Roblox was doing a good thing by allowing 15-year-olds to work. While defensiveness has often been the company's go-to response to accusations around safety, the mounting pressure has now seen Roblox pull the trigger on a number of sweeping platform changes.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Here’s Why Fans Think FF7’s Tifa Is Coming To Street Fighter 6 Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:27:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-why-fans-think-ff7s-tifa-is-coming-to-street-fighter-6/1100-6539537/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Last week, a new trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter movie celebrated the Capcom franchise's return to the live-action limelight for the first time in over 15 years. This week, it's the current game, Street Fighter 6, and rumors of its next batch of DLC fighters that has fans riled up--rumors which include Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockhart, which would make her Street Fighter's first-ever guest character from a non-fighting franchise.Per WCCFTech, a post on the Street Fighter subreddit surfaced that highlights series veteran Vega, also known as Balrog or "Claw," as a potential inclusion in SF6's Year 4 Character Pass. The post features a comment by user RnK_Clan not only listing Vega, but also naming Gouken, Mike Haggar from Final Fight, and Tifa as the other three characters. RnK_Clan speaking to the Year 4 Pass lineup is notable, as they previously correctly predicted Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui appearing in 2024's Year 2 Pass. No other details about the rumored batch of DLC was shared by RnK_Clan, and an attempt for comment from Capcom has gone unanswered as of this writing.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: MindsEye Devs Demand Answers Regarding Corporate Surveillance Issue Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:51:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mindseye-devs-demand-answers-regarding-corporate-surveillance-issue/1100-6539536/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f More trouble is brewing at MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy (BARB), but it has nothing to do with the studio's debut title. A group of employees led by the IWGB Game Workers Union have initiated legal action in response to Build A Rocket Boy leadership's decision to install surveillance software on employees' devices without their knowledge. According to the workers' union, after 40 employees filed a grievance demanding the removal of the software (called Teramind), it was removed from employee devices in March. But now, those workers want to know exactly how much data was collected without their consent--and what was done with it."[Build A Rocket Boy] failed to meet the aggrieved workers' other demands for transparency and accountability, refusing to explain what data was collected, how it was used, and why the software was installed in the first place," reads a press release from the IWGB Game Workers Union. "Now, IWGB members are escalating the matter through ACAS and the Information Commissioner's Office."Build A Rocket Boy was founded by former Rockstar boss Leslie Benzies in 2016, with former Jagex CEO Mark Gerhard becoming co-CEO in 2024. The studio's debut release, the very clearly GTA-inspired MindsEye, quickly became one of the worst-reviewed games of 2025. The game's difficult launch was followed by claims of employees being subjected to excessive crunch time in an attempt to fix the game's many issues, followed by layoffs that employees say weren't handled properly.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book preview: a non-threatening Nintendo charmer Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/yoshi-and-the-mysterious-book-preview/ When you think of a 2D platformer, you probably think of tough jumps, power-ups, and a ticking clock — accompanied by the constant threat of a Game Over screen if you fail to adequately manage any of those things. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, the new platformer out May 21 for Nintendo Switch 2, does away with all of that. You can’t die, or even be hurt. There’s no countdown clock, and power-up-like abilities are freely available for you to use at any time. Instead of defeating enemies and conquering a level, you’re learning cool facts about the local wildlife and discovering every nook and cranny of an animal’s habitat.

Title: Titanium Court review: ingenious genre mash-up mixes Candy Crush and Civlization Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/titanium-court-review/ Let’s take a step back: Video games are fucking complicated. Those of us who have been playing them for decades often take for granted how even the medium’s most basic concepts can sound like gibberish to the average person. I’m not even talking about the real goofy jargon like Metroidvania or Soulslike; stop someone on the street and ask them what a strategy game is. Challenge your Candy Crush-obsessed mom to define the word platformer. Make your grandfather figure out what RPG stands for and watch him vaporize instantly. The impenetrable gibberish extends beyond the words we use to classify games; the design language of any given game, born from decades of iteration that goes countless layers deep, can be just as difficult to parse for newcomers. Hell, I have been writing about video games for two decades, and I would piss my pants if you asked me to hold my own in a MOBA.

Title: Gran Turismo 7 update 1.69 available today, first 2026 Gran Turismo World Series details Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:00:28 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/22/gran-turismo-7-update-1-69-available-today-first-2026-gran-turismo-world-series-details/ In this month’s free update, the Polyphony team is dropping the ridiculously fast 1,286-BHP ’24 Yangwang U9 (0-62.1 mph in 2.36 seconds). They are also introducing the practical ’93 Renault Twingo (1.2L inline-4 OHV engine). In addition, the Leichtbau 964, a mix of classic 911 styling and air-cooled ruggedness, is included. It’s considered one of Porsche’s greatest hits, with only 86 produced, making it one of the rarest of this generation.   The update also includes a new menu, three new World Circuits events, move the camera up and down III curation (height adjustability) in Scapes, and Power Pack updates in Update 1.69, which will be available beginning today at 11:00pm PT / April 23 at 7:00am BST / 3:00pm JST*.  Additionally, the new Gran Turismo World Series Season is beginning! Play Video New cars**  Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau (964) ’93  *Can be purchased from Legend Cars  Introduced in 1989, the Type 964 marked the third generation of the Porsche 911, following the 901 and 930. Though familiar in silhouette, it represented a major step forward, with roughly 80% of its components newly engineered and  a more aerodynamic, modernized exterior.  Power came from a newly enlarged 3.6-liter flat-six, while the Carrera 4 debuted Porsche’s first full-time  all-wheel-drive system. Rear-wheel-drive models expanded accessibility with the introduction of the Tiptronic automatic.  For maximum performance, Porsche offered the Turbo and the ultra-rare 1992 911 Turbo S. Featuring upgraded  cams, a special turbine, lightweight body panels, and 375.7 BHP, just 86 examples were ever produced—cementing  its place among the rarest 911s.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Renault Twingo ’93  *Can be purchased from Used Cars  Practical yet cute. A breath of fresh air for the A-segment.  When Renault replaced the Super 5 with the larger Clio in 1990, it left a gap at the bottom of its lineup. The answer arrived in 1992 as the Twingo — an A-segment hatchback that challenged convention. Its distinctive three-door  monospace shape featured a single flowing line from nose to tail, instantly setting it apart from its peers.  With its wheels pushed to the corners, the compact Twingo delivered exceptional interior space despite its modest  footprint. Power came from a transverse-mounted 1.2-liter inline-four, modest but well suited to the car’s light weight  and urban mission. Clever features like sliding rear seats added versatility, proving practicality and personality could  coexist. Produced for 14 years, the first-generation Twingo remains one of the most innovative small cars ever made.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Yangwang U9 ’24  *Can be purchased from Brand Central  The Yangwang U9 challenges conventional supercar thinking by placing an electric motor at each wheel. Developed by Yangwang, BYD’s luxury performance brand, it rides on the proprietary e⁴ platform, delivering a staggering 960 kW (1,286 BHP). Despite its size and weight, the U9 launches from 0–62 mph in just 2.36 seconds.  Its headline technology goes beyond raw output. The DiSus-X suspension combines hydraulic and pneumatic  systems to actively control body motion, delivering exceptional stability and control, sometimes dramatic in motion, but always purposeful in function. Styled by Wolfgang Egger, the scissor-door coupe looks unmistakably futuristic  while retaining true supercar presence. In 2025, the extreme U9 Xtreme variant even pursued record-setting top-speed performance, positioning the U9 as a bold statement of speed in the electric era.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Café/Extra Menus  The following Menu will be added to the Extra Menus section:  Extra Menu No. 53: Muscle Cars (Collector Level 55 and above)  World Circuits (new events)  The following new events have been added to World Circuits:  Schwarzwald League – Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve  Hypercar Parade – Yas Marina Circuit  World Touring Car 900 – Autódromo de Interlagos  Scapes  Move the camera up and down III has been added as a featured Curation in Scapes.  Power Pack / Power Pack Challenges  Power Pack Challenges will be added.

Title: Palia’s Royal Highlands expansion launches May 12 on PS5 Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:00:19 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/21/palias-royal-highlands-expansion-launches-may-12-on-ps5/ Welcome back, cozy gamers, and welcome home to those of you just joining the Palian community on PlayStation 5. First and foremost, I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting Palia since the game launched on PS5 last year. There’s something special about snuggling in on the couch with a cup of coffee, decorating your Home Plot, then casting a line in the fishing pond with the haptic feedback of a DualSense controller! And there’s a whole lot more where that came from. On May 12, we’re opening the gates to Palia’s next major expansion: The Royal Highlands. The upcoming expansion introduces a sprawling, sun-drenched region; a brand-new chapter in Palia’s story; more Villagers to meet; and so many features we’ve been champing at the bit to unveil. And this time… you’ll be hoofin’ it in style. A new frontier awaits in the Royal Highlands The Royal Highlands is our third Adventure Zone, and by far our most ambitious. The massive new map offers an elevated countryside of windswept cliffs, rolling golden fields, and ancient stone structures steeped in quiet, old-world elegance. From the moment you arrive, the space feels refined and regal – but beneath that beauty lies something older, an ancient secret lost to time. As you explore, you’ll meet Eshelon, heir to the Bahari Dukedom, who has been sent to investigate some peculiar occurrences unfolding across the “Highlands.” Together, you’ll dig into the mysteries behind Amber Echo, a strange substance spreading across the region that encapsulates and traps anything – or anyone – caught in its snare. Not much is understood about Amber Echo… only that those confined within are frozen in time for years, decades, maybe a millenia… a sticky situation indeed! Despite the danger, the Adventure Zone is filled with opportunity. New materials to gather, insects to catch, fish to reel in, and creatures to hunt, including the elusive Jaakcat, await across every hill and valley. Saddle up: horses arrive in Palia Exploring a vast new region is no small task. But we’ve made sure you won’t have to go it alone. For the first time, you can meet, tame, and ride your very own horse. Early in your Royal Highlands journey, you’ll be introduced to your first mount, opening up faster, smoother traversal across the world. Riding is designed to feel both responsive and grounded. Horses move through natural gaits, building into speed in a way that feels tactile and intuitive. Whether you’re galloping across open terrain or taking a relaxed trot along ridge-lined roads, the experience is meant to feel calm, immersive, and connected. You’ll be able to choose from three distinct horse types at launch, each with its own look and personality. Horses also tie directly into the Ranching skill, allowing you to raise and breed horses while shaping their traits over time – some favoring speed, others endurance, and a few offering rarer qualities. More ways to build, customize, and express yourself The Royal Highlands also expands how you shape your home and identity in Palia. The expansion introduces the Ancient Human Home Line, inspired by the architecture found throughout the Royal Highlands. Think stone foundations, dramatic verticality, and refined architectural silhouettes that will take your Home Plot to the next level… literally.. A new Capstone allows you to increase the number of stories your home can have, opening the door to unprecedented multi-level designs. Pair your expanded space with the Aristocrat’s Set, a collection of ornate, Renaissance-inspired decor that brings a sense of luxury to your Home Plot. And you can customize beyond your home with an expanded Clothing Dye system, allowing you to apply colors you’ve unlocked directly to your outfits, giving you more control over self-expression. Celebrating 10 million players Before you ride into the Royal Highlands, we have something special to celebrate. Palia has surpassed 10 million players worldwide – a milestone representing millions of stories, homes, and shared moments across the community. To say thank you, we’re kicking off the 10 Million Player Celebration Event, live from today through May 11. During the event, players can earn rewards simply by playing, including up to two free premium Mystery Outfits, alongside event-exclusive Decor, Plushes, a Nameplate, and more. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just getting started, this is our way of saying thank you for being part of the journey. Your journey continues on May 12 The Royal Highlands expansion launches Tuesday, May 12, on PlayStation 5. It’s our biggest Adventure Zone yet, a new way to explore with your equine companion, and the next step in unlocking even more creativity from Palians across the globe. From all of us at Singularity 6, thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’ll see you in the Royal Highlands.

Title: Helldivers 2: The Exo Experts Warbond drops April 28 Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:00:15 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/21/helldivers-2-the-exo-experts-warbond-drops-april-28/ The latest Helldivers 2 Warbond, entitled The Exo Experts, launches April 28. Read on for full intel on what to expect.  Play Video Machines… Our enemies… But they can also be forces for good, tools at our disposal, and when you need to fight fire with fire it is important to be an Exo Expert.   ​​  The Ministry of Defense has authorised the immediate mobilisation of new Exosuits to aid in our ongoing war efforts against the enemies of Managed Democracy.   Weapons and Stratagems Let’s start where all good Warbonds start, with the latest offensive items included in the Exo Experts*. Beginning with EXO-51 Lumberer, a modern reinvention of the Lumberers of the first Galactic War, this Exosuit is equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower allowing you to unleash maximum devastation upon your foes and then purge smaller enemies in the flames of Liberty.  Next up, we have the EXO-55 Breakthrough. Brandishing a flak cannon and a ballistics shield, allowing you to face off with Super Earth’s toughest foes whilst laying down heavy fire.  For those who don’t like to overburden themselves, we are introducing the MGX-42 Bullet Storm: a disposable machine gun sporting caseless ammunition in multiple barrels. Each usage includes two of these so you can throw them away when you are done.  Not forgetting our ground troops! We have the SMG-203 Gallant, a submachine gun with a high rate of fire, this is the MP-98 Knight’s older brother, sacrificing clip size for increased penetration. Finally to round out your kit, try the new P-33 Missile Pistol utilising the latest in guided, heat-propelled rounds and a lock-on feature. Proven to hit its target 60% of the time, every time.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Armors and Capes To ensure you remain compliant with safety regulations, make sure you have these new armors. The O-2 Heavy Operator armor is the state mandated uniform for Super Earth Citizens who must operate heavy machinery and is best paired with the Watchful Compatriot cape, which sports a retro print that was first made popular in GW1 cereal merchandising. It helps citizens to remember that not all machines are twisted mechano-socialists; some are piloted by true-hearted humans and we can all rest easy in their gaze. The O-3 Free Spirit armor comes equipped with SteerComfort, this armor that allows the wearer to feel every curve, bump, and jostle of their Exosuit, as if they were drifting into one single being.The Free Spirited Spangles cape pays tribute to the mischief-makers and mavericks, those trailblazers who dutifully execute their orders with universally-endearing panache. The star-crossed trail calls to mind the special kind of Freedom that can only be achieved by going very fast in very expensive state-owned vehicles. These new armors come stock standard with the Oxygenator perk allowing you to walk, run and slide slightly quicker (within Super Earth Health and Safety guidelines). To ensure others know you are up to the job, you can also equip the new Exosuit Certified title and make sure to let them know how you feel with the Thumb of Approval emote and victory pose  This Warbond also includes the Mobile White patterns. Prepare to become an Exo Expert on April 28!   *Warbond requires base game, Super Credits, and game progression to unlock.

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: A legend gets cheaper as the Logitech G502 Hero gaming mouse cuts 22% off from Amazon Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 11:26:52 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-legend-gets-cheaper-as-the-logitech-g502-hero-gaming-mouse-cuts-22-off-from-amazon The Logitech G502 Hero has been around for eons by this point, with former RPS chief Katharine's original review of this mouse taking place back in October 2018 (when I was just 16 - god, I feel old). Nonetheless, by being an elder statesman of the gaming rodent world, it means this mouse can often be found at quite heavy discounts. Currently, it's just £27 from Amazon, which as per my price tracking graphs, tells me it's the best price we've seen the G502 Hero since Black Friday 2025. Not bad at all. Read more

Title: £520 for this Asus Prime RTX 5070 GPU and a free copy of Pragmata feels like a solid deal at the moment Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 11:07:45 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/520-for-this-asus-prime-rtx-5070-gpu-and-a-free-copy-of-pragmata-feels-like-a-solid-deal-at-the-moment It's been a bit of a miserable time for shopping for components like RAM, SSDs, and GPUs - well, essentially anything that needs memory to function - as shortage-spiked prices remain high across the board. It means my usual task of deals-hunting on these types of items has turned more into a form of damage limitation against these rises, and this Asus RTX Prime 5070 graphics card for £520 from CCL feels like the best price it's likely to be for some time. We have seen the 5070 for well under £500 in the past, but in the current climate, this is about as low as we can hope for. Read more
