Okay, so Nintendo skipped their usual year-end summaries, which was a little weird. But the good news is their 2025 wrap-up will include how much I played in December! That means all those hours I sunk into Metroid Prime 4: Beyond might actually show up on my list of most-played games, which is awesome.
1. Grand Theft Auto VI – Most Anticipated Games of 2026
Hypixel’s developers expect more than a million players to try out the early access version of Hytale. But since the game isn’t on Steam or consoles, getting started requires a bit of know-how. How do you actually begin playing?
Hino recently began writing the story for the next installment in the series. He noted that this will be the first Inazuma Eleven story created during the Reiwa era (starting in 2019), as the groundwork for this sequel began with the Inazuma Eleven Ares game, which was initially developed as early as 2016.
To get started making tools like an Axe for chopping wood, a Pickaxe for mining, and a basic Weapon, just step outside the starting building and gather Sticks and Rubble from the ground. Also, hit some grass to collect Plant Fiber. Open the crafting menu by pressing Tab, then choose the tool you want to make. The menu will show you what materials you need. Once you have everything, click ‘craft’. Finally, put your new tool on your hotbar (the numbers 1-9) and select it to start chopping trees and mining rocks.
This special Limited Edition is full of extra content! You’ll find things like director’s commentary, bloopers, behind-the-scenes features, and even a music video. Here’s a complete list of what’s included:
I was listening to an interview with Keeley Hawes, and she said something really interesting! She confirmed she’s actually never met Angelina Jolie, even though Angelina famously played Lara Croft in those Tomb Raider movies back in the early 2000s. She said she’d absolutely love to, though!
Believe it or not, the classic ‘The Office’ scene where Michael Scott drives into a lake because of a faulty GPS actually happens sometimes in real life!
In an interview with The Game Business, Split Fiction’s director explained that many talented people at EA appreciate Hazelight’s games and generally give them creative freedom. True to form, Josef Fares then pointed out that every publisher has made mistakes at some point.
So, IGN asked me if I’d ever consider going back to work on the game, and I told them I’d definitely be up for it – especially if it meant we could really build on what we started and add even more to it.
