Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond initiative has introduced some interesting and strange collaborations. At MagicCon Atlanta, a booth hyping a new Secret Lair drop starring Furby unintentionally gave rise to speculation about another potential collab, after a Furby-suited human was seen dancing with a Kirby-suited human. On Saturday of the convention, Furby took its place on a miniature dance floor in front of its section, when a person in a massive Kirby costume joined the festivities, for nearly 30 minutes. Wizards of the Coast confirmed to GameSpot that this was simply a coincidence, and that a fan had a Kirby suit and decided to get in on the action. Please watch this entire video, I promise it’s worth it. #MagicConAtlanta [image or embed] — Jason Fanelli 🔜 NYCC (@jasonfanelli.com) September 27, 2025 at 12:09 PM Despite this, speculation on social media soon began to spread, with posts on Instagram, Facebook, and more sharing images of the two dancing mascots. Before long, comments on those posts began to wonder if Kirby would indeed be joining Magic: The Gathering, while others were dismissing the idea, correctly guessing that the people in the Kirby suit were "random con-goers."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Mark Rosewater, head designer for Magic: The Gathering at Wizards of the Coast, has designed cards for all of Magic's playable formats. At MagicCon Atlanta, during a question and answer session with press, Rosewater spoke candidly about his experience with the game, including one interesting tidbit: He's not a fan of Commander, the most popular format currently available to MTG players. One question Rosewater received was about player fatigue with Universes Beyond--Magic's regular collaborations with outside intellectual property. Rosewater said he understands players who aren't fully on-board with the crossover sets, because he isn't fully on-board with some of the other popular things Magic is doing--especially the Commander format.Marvel Super Heroes, Magic's next Marvel-themed expansion. "I'm not a Commander fan," Rosewater said. "To me, Magic is a strategic game. I love it because I win when I'm outthinking my opponent. Commander is not a strategic game. It is a political game; you're playing the people."Continue Reading at GameSpot

There's a simple mantra that permeates every interview or question and answer session conducted during the MagicCon weekend: Magic is for everyone, but that doesn't mean everyone's going to love everything the team puts out. While universal acclaim would be great, the creative teams say that this simply isn't possible. At MagicCon Atlanta, two key panels laid bare the company's short- and long-term plans for the decades-old card game. The Preview Panel announced all but one of the expansions coming to the game in 2026--four of which will be Universes Beyond collaboration sets--while the Secret Lair panel announced over a dozen new limited-time drops set to launch throughout the month of October, featuring names like Jaws, Furby, Iron Maiden, The Office, and multiple PlayStation franchises. While the reaction in the room for these panels was marked with excitement, the deluge of Universes Beyond collaborations mixed in with the in-universe Magic fans love led to a fair bit of trepidation among the fanbase. One viral post from a competitive Magic player leaned heavily on the in vogue insult "slop," while the YouTube content creation community made their thoughts known acros smultiple videos.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Ubisoft reportedly canceled an entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise last year after determining that its proposed setting--the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era of the 1860s and 1870s--was too controversial for its audience, according to the newsletter Game File. The game, which was canceled early in development, would have put players in control of a Black protagonist who escaped enslavement and started a new life away from the South. He is later recruited by the Assassins, returns to the South, and confronts prominent racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Three sources told Game File that the game was cancelled due to online backlash after the reveal of Yasuke, a historically-inspired Black samurai, as a protagonist in Assassin’s Creed Shadows and the uneasy political climate in the United States.

Literal walking simulator Baby Steps is already a punishing affair, but the game has one last trick up its sleeve that might make certain players fume with rage. If you skip enough cutscenes in the wacky and raunchy Baby Steps, you'll be treated (or penalized, depending how you look at it) with a meandering 28-minute long cutscene full of meta jokes and haphazard conversation topics, which user Cuttyflame shared on YouTube (per PC Gamer). Baby Steps, which was made by Ape Out developers Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and QWOP creator Bennett Foddy, actively discourages players you skipping story cutscenes, requiring you to complete minigames that increase in complexity each subsequent time you try to skip a scene.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Company of Heroes developer Relic Entertainment is keen to make and release games faster, CEO Justin Dowdeswell said in a new interview, but the company isn't banking on AI to get there. In an interview with GI.biz, Dowdeswell said one of the company's Achilles heels is that it has taken too long to release new games. "There's long stretches of time between game releases, and you lose touch with the players, people lose touch with what you're up to--and they generally cost a lot more, the longer they take," he said. Part of what Relic will look to do in the future is "get to market more frequently," and that doesn't mean the company wants to lower the quality bar and simply ship things faster for the sake of it.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Earlier this year, Microsoft unleashed a massive wave of layoffs and game cancellations, including Project Blackbird, an MMO that was described as a cross between Cyberpunk 2077 and Destiny from the team behind The Elder Scrolls Online. Now, that team has reunited to form an employee-owned studio, Sackbird Studios. The studio shared the announcement on its official site, and noted that Sackbird is self-funded "for multiple years" without the aid of outside investors. That will allow the team to retain full creative control of their own games. "After years in AAA, we wanted the freedom to take smart risks without waiting for a greenlight or chasing quarterly targets, said Sackbird Studios chief creative officer David Worley in a statement. "We're fully employee-owned and funded, which means we only answer to people who are passionate about games."Continue Reading at GameSpot

There's also an impressive amount of special features included here, pulled from the original DVD releases of Star Trek: Enterprise. See at Amazon Star Tre: Kelvin Timeline $6 - $33 Best known for lens flares, this film trilogy was a reboot of the original Star Trek series and featured a young crew at the helm of the starship Enterprise.

Lower Decks is an animated spin-off that pokes fun at the franchise but is extremely on-point as a Star Trek show, and the Picard series has continued the adventures of the former Enterprise captain as he stepped out of retirement to once again thwart the Borg, reassemble his old crew, and take on one more challenge from Q. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has also been popular since it first aired, as this show leaned closer to the weekly format of old-school Star Trek to deliver classic adventures with a modern flair. If Picard is your favorite captain, then you might want to check out the Picard Legacy Collection for a comprehensive look at the Starfleet legend's career. This is a starship-sized 54-disc collection that includes all seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, all four TNG movies, and all three seasons of the recent Picard TV series.

Set on a decommissioned space station captained by Benjamin Sisko, Deep Space Nine dealt with heavy themes throughout its run from 1993 through 1999. The show hasn't made it to Blu-ray yet, but this DVD collection gets you all 133 hours of the saga. See at Amazon Star Trek: Voyager $80 (was $120) Star Trek: Voyager was a return to the roots of the franchise, as this series saw a crew of fresh-faced Starfleet officers and freedom fighters forced to work together after they were transported into the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant.

The Outer Worlds 2 caused some waves among fans when it was set to be $80 at launch. Microsoft subsequently walked back the price to $70, but if you want to spend extra money, there's a pair of pricey Outer Worlds 2-inspired Xbox controllers heading your way. Microsoft has announced that players can now purchase controllers adorned with The Outer Worlds 2's Moon Man and art from the game. But the most intriguing part of these controllers is that fans can customize the designs with Xbox Design Lab. For example, players can choose to go for metallic D-Pad and triggers, or opt in on rubber side and back grips. There are two different controllers available. The standard Xbox wireless controller will be $95, while the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 will go for $185. The Elite model has more features including optional back paddles, thumbsticks with adjustable tension, and a shorter hair-trigger lock. While those controllers aren't cheap, they definitely feel in line with something that the game's Earth Directorate would put out into the universe.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta added new playlists recently that only factor in skill "minimally," and that's something hardcore fans have wanted for some time. The feedback around these non-SBMM playlists has been pretty positive, and now Activision has said its development teams are "inspired" by the feedback from these tests, and the feedback around the beta so far in general. The non-SBMM playlists in Black Ops 7 are referred to as "open" playlists. Activision said it will have "some updates to share with everyone in the coming days" about their future in COD going forward. Many are hoping to see these "open" playlists stick around for launch, and in fact, one report said that is indeed the plan. However, Activision has yet to make any official announcements.Continue Reading at GameSpot
