⚡️ After years of speculation the series is finally official again, the fourth entry Metro 2039 has been announced.
The big question for fans: will Artyom return as the protagonist, or is this a fresh chapter with a new lead? Forums and threads are already exploding with theories and debate, the hype train is rolling. WAITING
👀 Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave for Switch 2 just stirred, its eShop entry replaced a temporary PEGI tag with a full 12+ rating, a usual precursor to announcements or pre-orders.
Rating updates also popped for Splatoon Raiders and possible Switch 2 ports like Devil May Cry 5. Insider NateTheHate says a full Nintendo Direct probably won't arrive before June, but regulator activity hints at shorter-format news in April via Nintendo Today or social channels. The "in‑game purchases" label likely points to Switch Online integration rather than straight-up MICROTRANSACTIONS. Spring could get HYPE for Nintendo fans, Star Fox rumours are adding fuel.
⚡️ Soulmask devs apologised, 1.0 missed the mark for many, the team is working HARD on fixes.
They've already patched major issues: building destruction in PvP, tutorial and localization bugs; added servers, mod tools, a full tutorial pass, improved blueprint UI and Steam Workshop support. Balance, drops and progression were adjusted. Roadmap: rework the opening hours and Tribe Mode, simplify onboarding, finish controller support, expand servers, boost performance and fix crashes. Combat was admitted weak, first target is the whip mechanic. Expect new patches and a detailed plan soon.
The Starfield launch on PS5 (including PS5 Pro) turned into a wave of complaints: players report frequent CRASHES every few minutes, reinstalling, deleting saves and toggling performance modes didn't fix it. Many are asking for refunds via the PlayStation Store, but Sony rarely approves them; the notable exception was Cyberpunk 2077.
Still, the store rating sits at about 4.3/5 from thousands of reviews, plenty of players are happy. So it's annoying and BAD, but not a full-blown disaster 😑
Media: Physint is reportedly casting passengers and a villain for a hijacked‑bus scene 🚍
Job ads hide the project under the codename Shimmer; the casting director is Mari Ueda (she worked on Death Stranding 2). Motion capture is set to begin in June 2026. Roles listed: a mother with a newborn, five teens, two men and an antagonist with a "German accent", described as a Mads Mikkelsen‑style menace from Hannibal: lean, silent, tense, confidence bordering on madness. Likely a henchman of the main villain. Kojima has already named Charlee Fraser, Ma Dong-seok and Minami Hamabe. Title will be a Sony exclusive; no release date yet. CASTING
Bungie got surprised: players OUTSMARTED expectations and cracked most puzzles on the Cryoarchive map in Marathon almost instantly 😳
The area hid puzzles and ARG bits revealing a weekend zone, yet the community solved the majority faster than the devs predicted, while some seemingly simple things (ARG codes in plain sight) stayed unnoticed for a long time. Bungie is watching player behavior closely and tweaks the game based on feedback.
👀 Players in ARC Raiders are arguing over bright lights above the Copper Belt, now visible day and night, not only during storms.
The "Thorough Investigation" added nastier Evaporators and rewards hidden in the cryptic "Evaluator", which blew the topic up: some point to UFOs seen in February, March, others call it a BUG or misloaded flying-arc models, some say it's just a background effect. Most players prefer the juicier theory, a tease for incoming content (new threat, event or even an expansion). Embark Studios are silent, so the next updates should clear it up.
⚠️ Sony is reportedly refunding Starfield on PS5.
After a rocky launch for some players, constant crashes and freezes, reports on social and forum threads say Sony is granting refunds on request; users claim contacting support is enough if your copy keeps crashing. The situation is BROKEN 😬
Official: April 16 at 20:00 MSK, Xbox First Look will be entirely about the official reveal of Metro 2039. 👀
An early build reportedly LEAKED (dated 2022) that sets events in 2033-2034 and stars Hunter instead of Artyom, sources say that build was cancelled, so treat its details skeptically. Microsoft confirms 4A Games is still developing and Deep Silver will publish; no further info on the current version. Insider NateTheHate also mentioned a State of Play on the same day, but that's unconfirmed.
🎮 fheroes2 jumped to 1.1.15, the fan engine for Heroes of Might and Magic 2 got seriously BUFFED: this update focuses on community tools and the map editor.
What's new: 3 fan scenarios, updated maps with multilingual support; the editor now allows manual artifact placement in random objects and more natural road-building. Under the hood, AI improvements, 40+ bug fixes, a virtual keyboard covering almost all game languages (initial Greek support), a redesigned Battle Only UI, and MIDI support on PS Vita. Reminder: original game files are still required.
