Artificial intelligence has been used in many industries for quite some time. For example, car companies have long used robots to help build vehicles, and AI is now starting to appear more and more in the food and drink industry too.
Netflix announced they’re developing a new gaming experience designed to be as simple and accessible as watching a show, according to a recent blog post.
These hidden details, or Easter Eggs, are often small and easy to overlook, but they really enrich the overall gaming experience. Even the more noticeable ones enhance the game, sometimes simply by making it a little less scary for players.
Ghoul Garden will launch right after the Chubby Chipmunk event, starting on October 11th, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. We haven’t announced an end date yet.
According to Douse, the games industry doesn’t need more games designed through complex formulas and psychological manipulation. What it really needs are more immersive and engaging worlds. While AI can be helpful, we already have plenty of tools; the real issue is a lack of strong leadership and clear creative vision. AI won’t fix the core problem – the industry needs better direction.

Crusader Kings 3 recently let players explore life as a nomadic leader in Mongolia. But the next expansion will take the game even further, adding China and Japan, and the rest of East and Southeast Asia, to the map.
Okay, so it’s a little confusing! The blog said it’s out *now*, but the official Final Fantasy post says we can actually get it starting December 4th. I’m hoping to pre-order it soon – they said it’ll be available on the Square Enix store and at some other retailers. I’m also really curious if the Episode Intermission content for the Remake is still a digital code, or if it’s now included on the disc itself – they haven’t said anything about that yet!
Sackbird is a newly formed game development studio. It was created by developers who lost their jobs when ZeniMax Online Studios cancelled their unreleased MMO, codenamed Project Blackbird, in June 2025.
I’m really enjoying Absolum! It’s a modern take on those classic beat-’em-ups from the early days of video games – you know, the ones you fed quarters to at the arcade. Those games were designed to be super replayable, but also pretty tough, to keep you coming back for more. Honestly, that difficulty really works with the roguelike elements in Absolum. It just *feels* right, and it makes the game incredibly fun to play again and again. I can’t get enough of it!
