Destiny is BACK (But There's a Catch)

Bungie just dropped a massive October Community Update outlining the exact production timeline for Destiny 2's Unvaulting, and more importantly, teasing the [REDACTED] future of the franchise. With full production on unvaulting taking 12 months, we are looking at 2028 for the return of the Red War, Forsaken, and the Menagerie.

Let's break down Josh Deane's roadmap, the business reality of this studio reset, and what it means for the next two years of the live game. What do you think "Destiny Legacy" means? Are we getting D1 on PC, or a single massive client? Let me know in the comments! #Destiny2 #Bungie #Destiny3 #GamingNews #Marathon

Marvel's X-Men PS5: New Leaks... Multiple Playable Characters?

Insomniac Games is completely changing their gameplay formula. New job listing leaks reveal that Marvel's X-Men on PS5 will feature multiple playable characters, an advanced "Ally System," and large-scale boss encounters. Following the massive 2023 studio leaks, a new report from Insider Gaming has uncovered active recruitment at Insomniac Games that points to a monumental shift in how they design action games. While Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine focus heavily on a single-character traversal and combat loop, the new roles for Marvel's X-Men demand expertise in designing complex companion behaviors and roster-based mechanics. In this video, we break down the specific job listings (including the Staff Hero Designer and Senior Gameplay Programmer roles), analyze what an "Ally System" means for the PS5's hardware and memory bandwidth, and discuss why balancing the 3Cs (Camera, Character, and Controls) for an entire roster of mutants is the biggest risk Insomniac has ever taken. Could this actually be for Spider-Man 3 with Peter, Miles, and Silk? We debate the evidence. #PS5 #InsomniacGames #MarvelsXMen #GamingNews #WolverinePS5

Phantom Blade Zero Reviews ARE IN: Why Did Eurogamer Give it 3/5?

Phantom Blade 0 reviews are officially live, and while the game is dominating with a 91 on OpenCritic, a controversial 3/5 review from Eurogamer is single-handedly tanking the Metacritic average and robbing it of the "Must Play" badge. Welcome to the Reforge Gaming live review round-up! S-Game’s highly anticipated Wuxia action-RPG releases on October 29, and critics are universally praising its blisteringly fast combat and spectacular boss fights, scoring it above heavy hitters like Nioh 3 and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. But we need to talk about the elephant in the room: Eurogamer's harsh 3/5 score. In today's stream, we’re breaking down the highest and lowest scores to find the truth. Is this 3/5 a legitimate critique of linear level design and technical performance, or is games media just trying to farm engagement by being the lone outlier? We'll also dive into the game's mechanics, how the combat loop compares to the best action games of the year, and whether this solidifies Phantom Blade Zero as a true Game of the Year contender. Join the live chat and let us know: Does a Metacritic score even matter anymore, or is the critic review system completely broken? Topics Covered: Phantom Blade Zero Metacritic & OpenCritic scores revealed Breaking down the Eurogamer 3/5 review controversy How the combat and mechanics compare to Nioh 3 and Onimusha PC and PS5 Pro performance reports (Frame rates, PSSR, and stutters) Is Phantom Blade 0 a GOTY contender? #PhantomBladeZero #PhantomBlade0 #PS5 #GameReviews #ReforgeGaming #GamingNews #Metacritic

Gaming’s New Normal... | Gaming News This Week

This week’s gaming news is defined by the end of an era—from Electronic Arts officially shutting down BioWare and canceling the next Mass Effect, to hardware leaks revealing that the $500 console is dead. According to insider Kepler, skyrocketing AI data center demand has pushed PlayStation 6 RAM and storage component costs over $680 alone, pointing toward a $1,000+ retail price. Meanwhile, Fortune reports Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox (Project Helix) could cost $1,200 to $1,800 to manufacture ahead of its 2028 window, following a 2027 Xbox handheld launch. We also cover Embark Studios' 30-million-round PvE test for ARC Raiders, Sensor Tower data showing GTA 6 pulling in $600M in digital-only pre-orders, our hands-on review of the disappointing Saros: Zenith update, Marvel's Wolverine topping Circana US sales charts over NBA 2K27, Valve veteran Mike Morasky accidentally slipping "HLX" (Half-Life 3) alongside Deadlock, and the truth behind Gears of War: E-Day’s $500M budget at The Coalition.

Gears of War: E-Day is a technical masterpiece, but a rumored $500M operating budget and Xbox's panicked exclusivity pivot could lead to devastating layoffs at The Coalition.
