Additional new content includes retro Randy Orton, Bianca Belair, Triple H, Alexa Bliss, and Drew McIntyre Personas, plus additional cosmetics, moves, and more

WWE® 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 5* brings unpredictable chaos to the game, adding one of the hottest and most unconventional Superstars of the modern era, one of the most agile big men to ever step foot in the ring, an icon of the Divas Era, and a sinister lucha clown to the roster. Season 5 content is available starting today. Full details are available now in the latest Ringside Report.

On the Premium Track**:

• Ringside Pass Season 5 introduces the “very nice, very evil” and undeniably eccentric Danhausen, the giant who moved like a cruiserweight, Bam Bam Bigelow, Women’s Division icon and WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella, and AAA’s chaotic harlequin known for taking the action to extremes, Pagano. All four Superstars are unlocked and available to claim immediately in Tier 1, bringing a combined 35 new moves and taunts with them; 
• New Personas including Randy Orton ’05 and Bianca Belair WrestleMania 41, plus new creation parts and moves for character customisation, RXP boosts, Island VC, MyFACTION tokens, and more.

Few WWE Superstars have ever made such an immediate and unforgettable impression as Danhausen. For several weeks in February 2026, a mysterious crate would appear on WWE programming, promising an unusual surprise to be revealed soon. At the Elimination Chamber PLE, the crate opened to reveal an unsettling coffin, from which burst forth the enigmatic and immediately captivating Danhausen. Quickly establishing himself as a must-watch attraction, the “very nice, very evil” face-painted and caped Superstar has crossed paths with a who’s who of WWE stars, offering his services in exchange for “human monies,” and declaring, “You are cursed!” to those who fail to cooperate. Often summoning supernatural assistance in his matches, and even helping professional sports teams win championships, there seems to be some real magic and method to Danhausen’s madness.

“Hello, yes, it is Danhausen here and I am debuting in my first ever WWE video game, WWE 2K26,” said Danhausen. “It is a dream come true to finally be in a WWE game. It is very nice, very evil.”

Standing well over six feet and weighing in at nearly 400lbs, his head tattooed with colourful flames matching his ring gear, the colossal Bam Bam Bigelow cut an imposing figure. A former ECW World Heavyweight Championship, ECW World Television Championship, WCW Hardcore Champion and WCW World Tag Team Champion, Bigelow was known for his surprising agility, performing cartwheels, moonsaults, and other nimble maneuvers not often seen from Superstars of his stature. This athleticism combined with his legendary toughness made Bam Bam Bigelow a force to be reckoned with in WWE, WCW, and ECW, across a career spanning more than 20 years.

A WWE Hall of Famer, former Women’s Tag Team Champion, and Divas Champion, Brie Bella is as much known for her in-ring accomplishments as her appearances across pop culture and lifestyle branding. Alongside her twin sister Nikki, Brie is one of the most beloved faces of the Divas Era, whose crossover appeal introduced a generation of female fans to the world of WWE via reality TV series Total Divas and Total Bellas. Together, the Bellas have also launched several successful product brands and media ventures, including beauty, baby, fashion and wine products, social media channels, a podcast, and a reality dating show.

AAA features several iconic luchadores who wear masks or makeup, but few bring the brutality and toughness of the menacing clown, Pagano, making his console video game debut in WWE 2K26. A former two-time AAA World Tag Team Champion and former member of the Los Psycho Circus faction, alongside WWE 2K newcomer Psycho Clown, Pagano is as dangerous on his own as he is with a group. It seems nobody is safe when the hardcore harlequin steps into the ring.

Throughout the Premium Track of the Ringside Pass, players will also find new Create-A-Superstar parts and moves, including the High Kick Combo, Suplex Facebuster, Springboard Phoenix Splash, and Tequila Shot, plus MyFACTION currency and content, World Taunts and currency for The Island, and more.

On the Free Track:

• Personas featuring alternate, historical looks for Superstars, including Alexa Bliss ‘25, Drew McIntyre ’10, and Triple H ’99, will be available for all players to earn and unlock.

Four editions of WWE 2K26 are available now, including Standard Edition, King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition. Ringside Pass Premium Season 5 is included in the Monday Night War Edition, as part of the Season Pass, and is also available for individual purchase.

Plus New “Play For Real Life” Gameplay trailer

SYDNEY — September 10, 2026 — Gameloft, a leader in the creation and publishing of games, is delighted to announce that players will soon be able to play BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS, a brand-new video game launching globally on PC and consoles, in-store and online, on 15^th October 2026. The game will also be available day one with XBOX Game Pass and supports XBOX Play Anywhere. The game invites kids and families to play together in Bluey’s world, and is developed in Bluey’s hometown by Gameloft Brisbane in close collaboration with Bluey’s producers, Ludo Studio, and BBC Studios.

Players can preorder BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS now on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, XBOX Series X/S, XBOX One, XBOX on PC and Epic Games Store.

In BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS, players can play, explore and capture moments alongside Bluey and Bingo using Dad’s old camera, turning adventures into memories to add to their own unique scrapbook. Set across beloved locations from Bluey’s hometown of Brisbane, and made in Brisbane, Australia itself, BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS brings the world of the series to life through familiar characters, favourite toys and games, Australian wildlife and authentic local details inspired by the show. Players can fill their own scrapbook and capture the moments that matter to them.

To celebrate the game’s release on the 15^th October, the latest gameplay trailer showcases how BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS can inspire playing “for real life” and creativity beyond the screen.

Watch the BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS “Play For Real Life” Gameplay trailer below.

BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS‘ unique approach to gaming is reflected in research led by Professor Daniel Johnson of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Digital Child, which found that BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS strongly supports children’s autonomy, competence and creativity through open-ended play and meaningful choice. These findings reflect the game’s focus on giving children the freedom to explore and make their own choices, with opportunities for that curiosity to continue beyond the game.

The research review described BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS as an exemplar of developmentally enriching digital play, highlighting its emphasis on creativity, family relationships and safe, offline play.

“Many of us who worked on developing BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS are parents ourselves, which is why we wanted to create a game that we could feel proud and comfortable playing with our own kids, one that encourages creativity,” says Manea Castet, Studio Manager at Gameloft Brisbane. “Between chasing bin chickens or playing a game of taxi using things lying around the house, we hope that the fun they find in the game inspires them to keep playing off-screen, stopping to take a closer look at the world around them.”

BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS is filled with the playful moments and authentic details fans know and love from the series. Up to 2 players can discover familiar Brisbane locations together, including New Farm Park (from episode Spy Game), South Bank (from episode Ice-Cream) and Mount Coot-tha (from episode The Sign), alongside plenty of recognisable details inspired by Bluey’s world. Along the way, players can meet their favourite characters including Muffin, Coco, Winton, Lucky and more of Bluey’s friends and family. Players can also play games inspired by the series, including Shadowlands and Magic Potion.

“BLUEY’S HAPPY SNAPS invites children and families to play, explore, and capture moments in a photo-powered adventure. Whether you are snapping memories solo or side-by-side with a second player, you will discover the unique and wonderful Australian wildlife, wander through familiar Brisbane locations and turn in-game moments into real fun for real life” said Marina Mello, BBC Studios’ Global Director, Gaming & Interactive. “The game reflects our ambition to create interactive experiences that extend what fans love about Bluey beyond the series”.

Just ahead of Dune: Awakening’s console release on September 22nd, British military survival advisor John Hudson examines the deadly realities behind Arrakis in a new video

What would it really take to survive on Arrakis? In a new featurette, the UK Military’s Chief Survival Instructor & Consultant John Hudson examines the deadly realities behind Dune: Awakening’s desert world, from hydration, shelter, and exposure to sandstorms, resource management, and surviving as a group.

Drawing on his experience designing and running survival training in extreme environments, including deserts, Hudson highlights the realism of Dune: Awakening’s weather-sculpted rock formations and unforgiving landscapes.

“The rocky outcrops that the team of Dune: Awakening have built are incredibly realistic,” says Hudson. “They look like they have been sandblasted by desert storms. They look sculpted by the wind. Yet within them you can see some hope of refuge.”

Hudson explores how the game’s hostile environment mirrors real-world desert survival principles: protecting against extreme heat and sun exposure, conserving water, seeking shelter during sandstorms, and relying on group coordination to carry the resources needed to endure.

The featurette also examines why Arrakis is more than a setting: it is an active survival challenge, where players must prepare for every journey, establish shelter, manage scarce resources, form alliances, and contend with the planet’s immense sandworms.

Dune: Awakening, Funcom’s open-world survival game inspired by Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel and Legendary Entertainment’s award-winning films, launches on consoles on September 22, 2026.  Deluxe and Ultimate owners will be able to get a head start from September 17. Console players, alongside new and returning PC players, will have access to all additions and improvements introduced since the PC launch, as well as new content and updates arriving in September.

LOS ANGELES – SEPTEMBER 9, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a major update for its sci-fi MMORPG RF ONLINE NEXT that introduces the massive Albern Warzone, the new Core Link progression system and additional Guild content.

Albern Warzone is a new large-scale PvP experience that matches three servers within the same World Group in a battle for territorial control. Up to 300 players from each server can enter, bringing as many as 900 players together on a single battlefield. Available to players at Level 68 and above, Albern Warzone takes place every Wednesday at 7:20 P.M. EST.

Each Albern Warzone begins with a 15-minute Occupation Battle, where players compete to capture as many Occupation Sites as possible and earn points for their server. An Occupation Site is claimed by destroying its Nether Occupation Beacon where the server that lands the final hit takes control of the area. With victory determined by the total points earned from occupied territories, coordination among players from the same server is essential.

Following the Occupation Battle, the battlefield transitions into the Monster Hunting Stage that turns captured territories into PvE hunting grounds for approximately two hours and 15 minutes. Players gain additional benefits when hunting in territories controlled by their server, including increased EXP and Credit acquisition, while occupation also affects Hypergravity Resistance. Players can encounter monsters ranging from Level 70 to 94 and bosses up to Level 97. By hunting in higher-level areas, players can obtain valuable rewards including an Odin MAU Blueprint Fragment and a new Epic Active Skill. Bosses can also drop Tier 6-7 Rare equipment, Tier 2-4 Epic equipment and materials, and Tier 4 Epic exclusive equipment.

The addition of Core Link is a new progression system available from Level 55. Four Core Link categories have been added: Fusion Reactor, Predictive Computing Module, Boost Controller and Armor Expansion Panel. Each can be enhanced using dedicated materials, with successful enhancements increasing its Core Link level and granting one random stat, such as Accuracy, Attack, Fixed Damage or Defense. Reaching designated Core Link levels also unlocks additional options, while players can reset Core Link progression and try again if they are unsatisfied with their enhancement results.

The update also introduces Guild Expedition Season 3 that features the Sealed-off Experimentation Zone. Guild members must split between two separate routes based on their attack types, with Physical-type Biosuits taking on one side and Force-type Biosuits the other. As the two routes are not directly connected, coordinating each group’s progress will be key to completing the expedition.

A new Guild Training Ground also gives Guild members a dedicated space to freely practice PvP against one another. Defeat carries no additional cost or penalty, and PK activity in the training area is not recorded in PVP History. Cooldowns and Holy Gas consumption for Sacred Weapons, including MAU and Launcher, are also adjusted within the training area providing players greater freedom to test different combat strategies.

Several limited-time events will accompany the update as well, including [100 Days Eve] Arcane’s Legacy, [100 Days Eve] Rally! Guild Growth and Challenge! Core Link Enhancement, offering additional opportunities for players to earn progression rewards ahead of the game’s upcoming 100-day celebration.

Beginning September 23, a 14-day Special Check-In event will offer five types of Ctrl+Z Coupons for restoring eligible Weapon, Armor, Accessory, Expansion and Artifact items. Players can also obtain the 100-day anniversary Rover appearance, Singara, by completing missions to earn Singara Part Boxes.

RF ONLINE NEXT, the official sequel to the globally beloved RF Online, is an epic sci-fi adventure set in a vast and evolving universe where machines replace flesh and blood. Building on its predecessor’s legacy, the game introduces a dynamic Biosuit system for seamless class switching, massive battlefield tools like the MAU and Launcher, powerful summons such as the Animus, and high-flying real-time combat that blends strategic depth with exhilarating action.

More information about the latest update can be found on the official website and community channels.

10, Sept. 2026 – Gennady, the absurd monochrome roguelike platformer from developer Feed 64 and publisher Sobaka Studio (KIBORG), throttles PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and GOG on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026.

Gennady awakens from a horrible nightmare – riding a bus only to realize he’s been sent to a grim alien factory that wants to grind him into meat…and he’s not wearing any pants! This everyman may not be heroic; Chthonic creatures won’t let him out easily, so it’s up to Gennady to use alien weaponry and his own brute strength to traverse procedurally generated black-and-white locales.

Burst through falling platforms, blood-stained walls, and murky waters with furious speed as a living projectile. Beat enemies to a bloody pulp in classic hand-to-hand combat, or wield an arsenal of extraterrestrial weapons. Acquire abilities throughout Gennady’s journey, including Big Knuckles to increase his attack range, or Fire Wave to create flames that appear upon landing. 

Unleash Gennady’s Rage Mode to deal greater damage at increased speeds. Purchase shields, ammo, and other resources to keep the brutality going. Collect artefacts throughout each run and upgrade Gennady’s abilities. Overcome grotesque boss encounters and bend the rules of death by shooting collected artefacts that carry over into future runs. 

“Gennady was a perfect title for us to port and publish on consoles, as a brutal action game like the ones we make ourselves, but with a distinct monochromatic look,” said Dmitry Kachkov, Head of Sobaka Studio. “We couldn’t let PC players hog this one to themselves.”
