New episodes of Dispatch are coming out quickly! You won’t have to wait long to see how the story ends – with two episodes released each week, we’ll have the finale in just eight days.

Okay, so the Abiotic Factor just got a big update – version 1.1 dropped on November 3, 2025! The coolest part? They added Hardcore and Iron Modes. Basically, if you die, you lose everything, which sounds terrifying but also super exciting. They’ve also made the enemies smarter with some new abilities. On the plus side, they added exercise machines so I can keep fit in the game! They’ve tweaked a bunch of stuff too, like how throwing works, and made reloading shotguns and magnums feel better. Oh, and the traders? They’re way more chill now – they won’t block doorways anymore, and they can even sit down! It’s the little things, you know?

GamesFray reports that on November 3, 2025, the Director of the USPTO, John A. Squires, took personal action to reinstate US Patent No. 12,403,397. This patent protects a gaming system where a player can bring in a secondary character to battle in one of two different ways.

Some longtime Predator fans might be surprised by this approach, as the series is known for its violence. However, this story focuses more on Dek’s journey to prove himself and earn his father’s respect – and his own cloaking device – than on the typical hunt and kill.

The video shows how you can virtually damage cars in fun ways – from denting the body and watching rust appear, to upsetting car enthusiasts with poorly applied stickers as you try to hide the wear and tear.

I was so excited to see the official Final Fantasy VII team just dropped the patch notes! Here’s what they’ve shared about the update:

An analyst doesn’t think the Switch will ever sell as much as the PlayStation 2. However, the Switch is on track to become Nintendo’s best-selling console of all time, surpassing the Nintendo DS (which sold 154.02 million units). It only needed about 10,000 more sales to reach that milestone – a milestone it likely hit over a month ago, as sales data is current through September 30th. While it’s almost certain, Nintendo won’t officially confirm this until its next financial report in February 2026, or potentially sooner with a separate announcement.

The new trailer for Metroid Prime 4 shows off several different environments on the planet. Samus explores a vibrant jungle, a strikingly futuristic black structure, and, as is typical for the series, a fiery lava-filled area. We also see her scanning a new robotic enemy called a psy-bot soldier and battling the boss Aberax, who was previously shown in a Nintendo Treehouse presentation.

Horii received the 4th Class, Gold Rays with Rosette of the Order of the Rising Sun, an award from the Japanese government recognizing his significant contributions to art and culture.

Rampage Jackson’s son, Jackson, ran into the ring during a KnokX Pro wrestling event on August 23rd while broadcasting live on Kick. Thinking it was part of the show, he started punching wrestler Stewart Smith, who performs as Syko Stu, multiple times.
