👀 Rumor mill: God of War is getting a SPIN‑OFF centered on Faye, and leaks hint it won't be just another side story.

MP1st resurrected a FandomWire (2023) report and an allegedly deleted Reddit note that say there are two leads, Faye and Tyr. Kratos might still show up "somehow", Faye gets a gelatinous‑cube‑style companion, and there's a talking sword rumored to be Merlin. Other mythologies, Maya, Chinese and Japanese legends, are said to be woven into the plot. Sources tie the project to Sony Santa Monica; insider Tom Henderson mentioned an April reveal, and whispers peg the next State of Play at April 16. Wait for Sony to confirm.

⚡️ Assetto Corsa EVO is getting a major 0.6 update, one of the most significant patches while the game is in Steam Early Access.

The patch brings six new cars (Audi R8 LMS GT4 Evo, Ferrari 296 GT3, Ferrari 288 GTO, Ford Mustang GT3, Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV, Porsche 992 GT3 R Rennsport), two tracks, Sebring International Raceway and an updated Nürburgring Nordschleife (2026), Steam-hosted dedicated servers (so no more forced third‑party monthly hosting), and an overhauled control system: easier button remapping and wheel/controller setup aligned with Assetto Corsa Competizione and Rally. Makes EVO a more flexible sim for solo racers and multiplayer crews. WOW 🚗

The beat‑'em‑up He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction, from Bitmap Bureau and Limited Run Games, has been PUSHED off its April 28 release, the devs need more time.

No new date yet; PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch will get it only in summer 2026. Probably a marketing play: the Masters of the Universe movie premieres on June 5, so expect a big interest spike 🎬

🏴☠️ Leak via IGRS: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced looks like more than a visual facelift, the remake will add expanded storylines, extra quests and new characters while keeping the original's spirit intact.

Edward Kenway is heading back to the Caribbean and gameplay will be rebuilt to 2026 standards. Rumours claim Ubisoft could officially reveal the project on 16 April. HYPE

Playground Games revealed the achievement list for Forza Horizon 6: 57 achievements worth 1000 Gamerscore, all unlockable from day one 🚗

Rewards cover festival participation, collectibles, car purchases and a bunch of open‑world activities across Japan; one trophy literally asks you to drive every road on the map, so PERFECTIONISTS will have their work cut out. There are no multiplayer achievements at launch, they might be added in later updates. Release: 19 May on PC and Xbox Series X/S.

Worth watching, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire lands April 16 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 🎷

Embargo lifted: critics praise the striking visual style, boss fights, level variety, fast smooth combat, great weapon roster, music and voice acting. Scores: 80 on Metacritic (PC), 83 on OpenCritic; 90% of critics recommend it. Downsides: bugs and FPS drops, thin enemy variety, occasionally long dialogue; the detective bits are pretty HANDHOLDING, Jack automatically sorts clues and the game points you where to go. Russian localization is included.

⚡️ Patch Y11S1.2 for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege beefs up Rauora: her D.O.M. Panel Launcher now reaches 25 m and grants all 4 charges RIGHT AWAY at round start. Panels are reworked, teammates close them in 1 s, attackers need 6 s. Jackal gets frag grenades and better track-gathering (tracks persist through busted ceilings); Smoke gains a deployable shield. More room to manoeuvre for attackers, but DEFENSE just got a lot more tactical.

⚡️Marathon is getting an experimental mode, Dire Marsh Sponsored, everyone drops in with basic free gear, no OP players or high-tier loot at spawn. FAIR.

Game director Joe Zigler says it lands this week to test progression and looting when starting equipment is limited. You'll have to scavenge to grow stronger mid-raid. Squad-only: duo or trio, no solos, a true rags-to-riches experiment.

🎉 Animal Crossing: New Horizons just got a surprise patch, 3.0.2, released for the series' 25th anniversary.

Everyone finds a FREE gift waiting in their in‑home mailbox: the Leaf Statue, a glowing leaf decor that comes with a thank‑you note and a retro Nintendo 64‑style stamp. The update also nods to the original Animal Forest (14 April 2001 on N64, later on GameCube) and includes usual bug fixes, small but very fan‑friendly.

⚔️ Developers officially announced two new Genshin characters: Loen and Prun.

Loen is a five-star Cryo fighter and deputy captain of the ranged unit in the Order of Favonius. He rarely pulls a bow, he charges in with a spear, either holding the line or becoming the squad's sharpest tip. Prun is a young Anemo "witch-hunter", brilliant and carrying a battered book of witch lore and tactics; she's heading to Mondstadt to pursue "Dodo-king" Alice. 🪄
