Following the success of Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Forbidden West, Sony announced that they would be partnering up with MMO specialists NCSoft in order to “broaden PlayStation's reach to a wider audience”. Though yet to be officially announced, NCSoft’s long-rumoured Horizon MMO is seemingly set to be unveiled later this week.

As part of the upcoming G-STAR 2025 event in Korea, NCSoft have announced that they are serving as this year’s primary sponsor in order to introduce “the new frontier of MMORPG” – alongside a bunch of other previously-announced titles (as reported by mmorpg.com).

Set to go live between the 13th and 16th of November, there has been no official wording on whether the rumoured Horizon MMO will be present. That said, the stars do seem to be aligning, especially with initial reports surrounding the project going as far back as 2022; with the partnership itself being made official the following year.

Of course, we will have to wait and see whether the project is finally officially announced or not – and what style of MMO it winds up being. Hopefully we’ll find out later this week.

2018 was a massive year for Bethesda Game Studios, with the team not only showing off Starfield for the first time during their E3 presentation, but also giving fans their first teaser for The Elder Scrolls VI. In the 7 years since, we’ve received little-to-nothing regarding the next Elder Scrolls, with Bethesda’s Todd Howard now claiming that the much-anticipated title is “still a long way off.”

In an interview with the publication GQ, Bethesda Game Studios head Todd Howard spoke briefly on the status of the long-awaited Elder Scrolls VI, claiming that the successor to 2011’s Skyrim is “still a long way off,” while adding “I'm preaching patience. I don't want fans to feel anxious.”

Assuming the game was close to release, it seems as though Bethesda would still be keeping quiet on the matter, with Howard claiming that ”I like to just announce stuff and release it. My perfect version – and I'm not saying this is going to happen – is that it's going to be a while and then, one day, the game will just appear.”

As mentioned, The Elder Scrolls VI was first announced back during E3 2018 alongside Starfield and Fallout 76. With the live-service Fallout now 7 years into its life (and Starfield a solid 2 and a bit years on from its release), fans have been itching to hear about The Elder Scrolls VI. Unfortunately we still only have the initial teaser trailer available to digest.

Since the release of Skyrim back in 2011, Bethesda Game Studios have been on a rocky journey, starting with the somewhat mixed reception towards Fallout 4 and culminating in the disappointing release of Starfield and its Shattered Space DLC.

Given all that has occurred between 2011 and today, it will be interesting to see just how much excitement there remains for The Elder Scrolls VI – and whether Bethesda will be able to recreate the magical feeling of Skyrim.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Howard’s statement? What are your excitement levels of The Elder Scrolls VI? Will it be received better or worse than Fallout 4? Let us know down below.

While the delay for Grand Theft Auto VI has undoubtedly disappointed many, this presents another opportunity for fans to play the now 12-year old GTA V for the umpteenth time. Fortunately, for those in such a situation, Sony is set to add GTA V to its PlayStation Plus Extra library for the 3rd time in two years.

As reported by known PlayStation Plus leaker Billbil-kun (via Dealabs), November’s PlayStation Plus Extra line-up will see GTA V once again added to the service.

For context, the game first joined PS Plus in December of 2023 and remained for roughly 6 months. Then, in November of last year GTA V was once again added to PS Plus Extra – only to AGAIN be removed roughly 6 months later.

Given this, it is highly likely that you’ll have around 6 months to enjoy the current-gen version of GTA V and Online before it is taken away once again.

While there is an understanding that game subscription services add and remove titles on a regular basis, it is far less common to see a game removed, brought back; taken away and then added again. That said, it is GTA V and so Rockstar will likely always make its inclusion a limited-time affair.

Dragon Ball is undeniably one of the most popular anime/manga franchises of all time, with the series having a long and successful library of video games released over the past many decades. One of the franchise’s most anticipated games in recent years was Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero – a successor to the much-loved Budokai series. Following strong initial sales, the game has continued to perform well for Bandai Namco.

As part of Bandai Namco’s most recent financial report, the publisher revealed that Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero had sold 5.4 million copies as of the 31st of March 2025 – roughly 5 and a half months following its launch in early October 2024.

Though far from the most up-to-date figures (given the way that Business Quarters work), this does mark an increase of 400,000 units when compared to their previous announcement, which put the game at 5 million copies as of the 4th of February.

Like with most games, sales for Sparking! Zero were quite launch-heavy, with the fighter blasting past 3 million copies in its first 24 hours, adding a further 2 million in the following four months, and now an extra 400,000 two months after that.

As such, while it is unlikely that Sparking! Zero has hit any major sales milestones since the 31st of March, it will be interesting to see how the game performs in the wake of its Nintendo Switch launch in just a few days’ time.

Ever since the arrival of Demon’s Souls, FromSoftware have gone from strength-to-strength, with each new release seemingly not only being better than the last (with few exceptions) but seeing an ever-increasing rise in popularity – culminating with the juggernaut that was Elden Ring. Even so, the original Dark Souls Trilogy has continued to find new fans, with the series having now surpassed 40 million copies sold.

As part of Bandai Namco’s latest fiscal report, the publisher revealed updated sales stats for many of its most popular franchises. Alongside confirmation that their Tekken franchise had passed 60 million total sales, Bandai confirmed (as reported by Tech4Gamers) that the Dark Souls Trilogy has reached a total of 39.71 million copies sold as of the end of March 2025.

Given that the Souls series has been self-published by FromSoftware in Japan (with Bandai handling the rest of the world), the trilogy has in total easily surpassed the 40 million mark.

While certainly an impressive figure, it is interesting to note that Elden Ring alone has sold over 30 million copies, with its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC pushing 10 million – and the recently-released co-op focused Night Reign having exceeded 5 million units.

Of course, Elden Ring would not have been nearly as successful had it not been for the ever-growing rise of the Dark Souls series (as well as Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne) putting FromSoftware on the map. It will be interesting to see if FromSoft ever returns to the Dark Souls series in particular – or whether 2016’s DS3 marked the definitive conclusion to this beloved franchise.

The resurgence in video game adaptations over the past few years has resulted in a variety of distributors greenlighting projects across the entire scope of the video games space, from films and shows based on the biggest AAA franchises as well as notable indies. In an interesting announcement, Netflix and A24 have partnered up to create a competitive reality show based on the indie hit Overcooked.

As reported by Deadline, the known indie film production company A24 has partnered up with Netflix to develop a reality show competition based on the co-op focused indie game series Overcooked.

Little else is known about the show currently, with the adaptation said to be “in early stages of development” – although it has been confirmed that Overcooked studio Ghost Town Games is directly involved with Phil Duncan serving as one of the executive producers.

For the uninitiated, Overcooked is a chaotic co-op cooking game in which you and your friends must navigate a kitchen and complete orders in time; all the while the restaurant itself is being split into two, tilting on its side – among other wacky happenings.

While an argument can be made that far too many video game adaptations have been greenlit in recent years, the concept of a reality show in which contestants must navigate an ever-changing kitchen could be great entertainment.

Ahead of its release back in September, SEGA announced that their highly-anticipated Kart racer Sonic Racing Crossworlds would be coming to the Switch 2 at a later date when compared to all other systems. Promised to be launching some time in Holiday 2025, the Switch 2 version of Sonic Racing Crossworlds has now gotten an official release date.

Making the announcement via a new trailer, SEGA has officially confirmed that the highly-praised Sonic Racing Crossworlds will make it to the current-gen Switch before the year’s end, stating: “Sonic Racing: Crossworlds Nintendo Switch 2 Edition launches digitally on Dec 4!”

As previously revealed, those wanting to get their hands on a physical Switch 2 version will have to wait until “Early 2026”. Fortunately, the wait should be worth it, with SEGA confirming that the full game will be available on the cartridge – as opposed to being a Game-Key Card.

Those who do go the digital route however can choose to purchase the currently-available Switch 1 version and then upgrade to the Switch 2 SKU come its release. This upgrade typically costs $10, however is on offer for 50% off at the moment.

Last but not least, the Werehog Pack DLC will be included for free for all those who get their hands on the Switch 2 Edition of Sonic Racing Crossworlds within its first two weeks of release.

While Sonic Racing Crossworlds may be a bit of a tough ask at its full RRP, there is no denying that the game offers plenty of quality fun – and so is definitely worth picking up at some point. Luckily, unlike first-party Nintendo titles, SEGA hosts regular game sales.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Sonic Racing Crossworlds on Switch 2? Should the upgrade from Switch 1 be free? Let us know down below.

Following the success of The Super Mario Bros Movie, Nintendo has been quick to bring more adaptations based on its IPs to the big screen, having already announced a sequel to the Mario Movie alongside confirmation that a live-action The Legend of Zelda film is in the works. Initially announced in late 2023, the project has now officially started filming.

As published by the Film and Television Industry Alliance, the previously-announced live-action Legend of Zelda adaptation has officially begun filming; currently taking place in Wellington, New Zealand.

According to the listing, filming for the movie is taking place between the 4th of November 2025 and the 7th of April 2026 – a rather lengthy amount of time for just the filming stage (though there are of course likely many different factors at play).

Interestingly, alongside confirmation of its filming timeline, the listing also includes a project summary for the movie, which reads as follows:

“A live-action adaptation of the video game franchise. ‘The Legend of Zelda’ follows Link, a young warrior destined to protect the magical kingdom of Hyrule from the forces of darkness. The land is under threat from Ganon, a ruthless warlord who seeks the Triforce—an ancient relic said to grant limitless power. To stop him, Link must embark on a perilous journey, battling monstrous creatures, exploring treacherous dungeons, and solving intricate puzzles to uncover sacred artifacts that can aid him in his quest.”

While a relatively generic description which could apply to pretty much any of the many Legend of Zelda games, it does appear as though the film is choosing to stay faithful to the core of this iconic franchise. Hopefully we get an official look at the production soon enough.

Launched back in 2022, GTA+ is an interesting subscription service which primarily functions as a way to get your hands on a number of GTA Online-related goodies. Despite this fact, the service itself did not include access to GTA Online, instead only offering a couple older Rockstar games. Finally however, GTA+ is expanding, with Grand Theft Auto Online now available as part of the paid subscription.

Making the announcement on their blog, the team at Rockstar Games confirmed that: “Now anyone can play GTA Online on current generation consoles with a GTA+ Membership.”

As mentioned, GTA+ is primarily focused on offering existing GTA Online members additional benefits, from a set amount of monthly in-game money to free vehicles, heist bonuses and more.

That said, GTA Online itself was not included in the subscription, instead only featuring the likes of GTA Vice City; Red Dead Redemption; Bully and LA Noire – among other older Rockstar titles.

Given that GTA V has sold well over 200 million copies, it is unlikely that many console / PC owners don’t already have GTA Online in their account. Still, for a service which is pretty much all about GTA Online, it makes sense for Rockstar Games to include the game itself as part of the subscription.

KitGuru says: What do you think of GTA+? Is it a waste of money? What do speculate Rockstar is planning for GTA VI Online? Let us know down below.
