All live service games are made with the mantra “if you build it, they will come,” but Concord, Babylon’s Fall, and Anthem are all cautionary tales that prove there are no guarantees. It would’ve been all too easy to pull the plug on Rainbow Six Siege back in 2015 after a troubled launch, but a decade of TLC has transformed the shooter into one of Ubisoft’s most successful projects to date, and Siege X celebrates this triumph with a laundry list of patch notes.

MSI has just cryptically mentioned that the latest updates for its AMD motherboards add support for a mysterious “future CPU,” implying that a new AMD Ryzen gaming CPU is about to be unleashed. There’s already plenty of speculation about the new chip from various quarters. Some say it could herald the introduction of AMD’s first Zen 5 CPUs with proper integrated Radeon GPUs, likely to be called the Ryzen 9000G range, but others disagree. There’s definitely a gap in the market for a new AMD desktop CPU with gaming-capable integrated graphics. We currently list the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G as the best gaming CPU in this bracket at the moment, but that chip is now well over a year old, and it uses AMD’s last-gen Zen 4 CPU architecture.

Originally launched back in 2018, Rimworld has gone on to establish itself as a favorite in the colony sim genre. It, like Dwarf Fortress, Norland, Oxygen Not Included, and Clanfolk, offers players the opportunity to try their hand at building and managing a bustling settlement, which naturally involves deep game systems and plenty of detail. That makes the launch of new material set to expand these systems more than welcome, something Rimworld is about to provide when its recently announced 1.6 update and Odyssey DLC arrive next month.

With the arrival of the Fallout 76 ghoul update proving a success, the obvious question is whether we could see other such new ways to approach the MMORPG. In the wake of the new Fallout 76 Gone Fission update’s launch, we spoke to creative director Jon Rush and lead producer Bill LaCoste at Summer Game Fest 2025 about some of the future plans for the series. Notably, the pair say they’ve heard your calls for playable super mutants, but explain why more such transformations aren’t a certainty quite yet.

Is Something Burning? And We Don't Mean L.A.: The Curious Case of Jarvis and Mace

Oops, She Did It Again: Simone Biles' Weak Mea Culpa to Riley Gaines Sparks Leftist Fury

Out of the wonderfully eclectic cast of Elden Ring Nightreign, The Revenant may just be the oddest of the lot. A reanimated doll, she attacks with ghostly claws and summons spirits to do her bidding, staring forward with cold blue eyes that pierce into your soul.

I may be in the minority here, but I feel that ever since Resident Evil: Biohazard, Capcom has been on the best run of form ever as far as the much-beloved horror series is concerned. While many have a lot of love for the earlier entries, I can't help but feel that recently, Capcom has nailed the survival horror feel.

When you think back to those halcyon days of gaming when you'd be riding in the back of your parents' car, holding your Game Boy Color up to the light of the passing streetlamps, it's very hard to separate that era from the Pokémon series.
