Madden NFL 26 is set to launch in August this year and will include all the classic gameplay modes you've come to expect from the franchise, but completely overhauled and updated to include new and improved features to enhance your experience. While the core gameplay will have the same basic structure as other Madden games, classic modes such as Franchise and Superstar Mode are getting improved immersion and customization features that promise to give players a more well-rounded and realistic experience.

Minecraft took the world by storm when it first launched in 2009. The game was like a virtual version of LEGOs, giving players a playground of blocks to arrange however they wanted and create anything from their imagination. The game was especially popular among young kids, and it wasn't long before the education sector realized that it could harness the game's appeal to the younger generation as an educational tool.

It’s been over two decades since ESPN NFL 2K5 set the gold standard for immersive football presentation. Ask any longtime football gaming fan what made 2K5 so memorable, and the answer isn’t just about gameplay, it’s about atmosphere. One of the most beloved features was its fully-realized halftime shows, complete with Chris Berman breaking down the first half’s highlights with voice-over and slick replays. For years, fans have asked, "Why can’t Madden do halftime shows right?" Based on some new gameplay info, it seems like Madden NFL 26 is finally stepping up.

A new leak about Honkai: Star Rail 3.4’s character banners has emerged, and while I was initially suspicious of the veracity of the rumors, I’m now convinced that it’s right. The turn-based RPG by HoYoverse is still going through Version 3.3, an important patch that brings forth groundbreaking story events in Amphoreus, adds Hyacine and Cipher as playable characters, and introduces a new weekly boss challenge. Now, however, there are several leaks about Honkai: Star Rail 3.4, mostly thanks to ongoing beta tests. The leaks have revealed important information about the update.

Much to the dismay of fans who fell in love with Larian's work, it's nearly impossible that a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 will ever come from the same studio. However, Baldur's Gate is a long-running franchise, and it's highly unlikely that it will ever be completely out of the spotlight. Players simply love the cast and story of BG3 too much to ever let it go, and the game lives on through fan content, mods, and the voice actors continuing to bring their roles to life outside the game.

Cyberpunk 2077is the game that keeps on giving. CD Projekt Red's RPG has gone from tragedy to redemption and beyond, and yet another significant update is coming to the game. Despite releasing in 2020, the game has practically reinvented itself and kept fans satisfied with post-launch content well after its excellent Phantom Liberty expansion, reneging on the promise of a final patch multiple times now. Few will complain about it, though, especially since Cyberpunk 2077's Switch 2 version has just launched, bringing new players to the game.

Dune: Awakening is a massive game with some incredibly deep systems that require a bit of knowledge to master, which explains why its opening tutorials are so extensive. It can take upwards of ten hours for some players to complete all the different tutorial-type missions, and while this might seem like a lot, the game successfully explains its various moving parts to make things much more approachable. At times, these tutorials try to hold the player's hand just a little more than they need to, but you'll ultimately benefit in the long term from powering through.

While there are quite a few ongoing games and future projects in the works using the Marvel IP, Arc System Works surprised everyone with the reveal of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a 2D tag-team fighting game. Following in the wake of Marvel Rivals, it seems that Disney is content to lend the heroes and villains of Marvel to Eastern developers, and Arc System Works is one of the best possible choices for fighting games. While not as famous outside the genre, Arc System Works is famed for the consistent quality of its fighting games, and Marvel Tōkon doesn't seem like an exception.
