In today's Daily Fix:After months of rumors, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down. She will return to producing films, which is what she did throughout the 80's and 90's until her appointment as President of Lucasfilm when George Lucas sold the company to Disney. Taking her place is Dave Filoni who is already overseeing several Star Wars projects, and Lynwen Brennan, who has held executive positions at Lucasfilm since 1999. In other news, Julian Gerighty is leaving Ubisoft—where he worked on The Division and Star Wars Outlaws—for a job working on Battlefield for Electronic Arts. And finally, infamously bad DS game Cory in the House is being review bombs—but the opposite way than what we're used to seeing. The positive buzz is a result of an internet joke that's also cause copies of the game to skyrocket on eBay.
In today's Daily Fix:Former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is responding to a lawsuit by claiming he was right to sell Activision to Microsoft a few years ago. The lawsuit claims Kotick rushed through the sale of Activision in order to keep his job and insulate himself from claims he knew about widespread reports of sexual harassment at the company. Kotick in turn is claiming that with Call of Duty's sales performance dropping year over year, it was the right move to sell Activision at that time. In other news, Meta is shifting its gaming focus away from the metaverse and is shuttering several VR studios and laying off hundreds. And finally, PS Plus games for January have been announced.
In today's Daily Fix:Battlefield Studios is delaying the launch of Battlefield 6 Season 2 to address community feedback. Fans have previously complained about the lack of updates and content in Season 1, so the team is taking extra time to work on Season 2, which will now drop on February 17. In other news, Ninja Theory is reportedly working on a new Hellblade game, this one meant to be more of a 'game' that the previous two. While Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was praised for its story and visuals, many complained there wasn't much of a game to actually play. And finally, scalpers are already selling pre-orders for the recently-announced LEGO Pokémon sets for hundreds more than the MSRP. Of particular value is the gym badge set, which is only included with the nearly $700 Charizard-Venusaur-Blastoise set.
In today's Daily Fix:LEGO and Pokémon are finally releasing sets featuring some of the franchise's iconic pocket monsters. The three sets will feature Pikachu, Eevee, and a mega set with Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. However, the sets will cost you—$59.99 for Eevee, $199.99 for Pikachu, and a whopping $649.99 for the triple set. In other news, The Division could be getting a definitive edition 10 years after it first released. The game has already seen a sequel, with a third main entry and a mobile game on the way. And finally, Avatar: Fire and Ash has made more than $1 billion in theaters, which has pushed Zoe Saldaña ito the top of A-list box office earners, surpassing previous record-holder (and fellow MCU alumn) Scarlett Johansson.
In today's Daily Fix:Developers at Pearl Abyss have dropped some details on the world of Crimson Desert. Via the Gaming Interviews YouTube channel, the devs had specified that the open world of Crimson Desert is about twice as large as Skyrim's, and larger as a whole than Red Dead Redemption 2. But they're aware that a large, empty world is no fun to play in, so the game will be 'incredibly interactive.' In other news, Larian Studios did an AMA on Reddit, and the company confirmed their upcoming Divinity RPG will have co-op. You will also be able to make meaningful changes to the story. And finally, fans of BioWare's Anthem are rallying to save the game ahead of server closures next week. The game was an infamous misfire for BioWare, and it never really found an audience large enough to support the game's live-service ambitions. But fans are working to get custom servers up, as the game will go offline permamently when the last official serviers go dark on Monday.
In today's Daily Fix:The Witcher 3 maybe 10 years old, but that's not stopping the rumor mill from suggesting new DLC is on the way. Via IGN Poland, sources have apparently been aware of plans to drop a new expansion featuring the desert region Zerrikania. CD Projekt Red has not confirmed anything, but they have reportedly been dropping hints. In other news, Nintendo has revealed a new set of Joy-Con 2 dropping at the same time as the new Mario Tennis Fever game. "Light Green" and "Light Purple" will retail as a pair for $100. And finally, a new Xbox Developer Direct is dropping on January 22, and will give us first gameplay of Forza Horizon 6 and a fresh look at the Fable reboot.
In today's Daily Fix:A website featuring an interactive map of the settings from the Fallout live-action series has fans hoping a remake announcement is coming soon. The map features a timer that seems to line up with the finale of Fallout Season 2, but with evidence already out there that a Fallout 3 remake is in the works, fans are hoping this leads to an official announcement, or maybe even a remake/remaster of Fallout: New Vegas. In other news, games industry analysts have revealed the most-played games of 2025, and surprise surprise, it's the same list from 2024. Call of Duty, GTA V, Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite are the most-played games at least two years in a row. And speaking of Fornite, the South Park collab has leaked, and the gameplay features a clever way to showcase fourth-graders in the game.
In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft has announced Wave 1 of its January Xbox Game Pass titles, and there are a few heavy hitters. Star Wars: Outlaws, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, and Resident Evil Village are headlining the service. Resident Evil is particularly timely, considering Requiem drops next month. In other news, PlayStation has patented a new AI Assists feature that can take over if you're stuck in a game. The model can be trained on previous playing sessions or from clips posted to YouTube and Twitch, and can player progress on a granular level in order to understand what they're trying to achieve. And finally, Nvidia has introduced DLSS 4.5, with improved image quality and 6x multi-frame generation. Over 400 titles already support DLSS 4.5 and it will be available in GeForce driver update 591.74.
In today's Daily Fix:Ryan Coogler has revealed what the orignial plan was for Black Panther 2 prior to Chadwick Boseman's death. Via the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Coogler shared that the story originally centered around T'Challa (Boseman) and his son, Toussaint. Boseman lost his battle with cancer, and both Coogler and Disney agreed they would not recast the role of T'Challa. What we got instead was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which focused on T'Challa's sister, Shuri, as she claimed the mantle of Black Panther. In other Marvel news, the studio dropped a new teaser for next year's Avengers: Doomsday, this one centered around Thor. And James Cameron has a plan for Avatar 4 and 5 if Disney doesn't let him make them as movies.

In today's Daily Fix:Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has commented on the collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo on the Hyrule Warriors games. Aonuma said that while he hoped the next main series Zelda game would be the Switch 2's first, some elements from Age of Imprisonment did inspire parts of his upcoming game. In Xbox news, the actor who portrayed Joanna Dark in the cancelled Perfect Dark reboot said she did 'entire chapters' of mocap for the game. She confirmed there was a plan to salvage a 'slimmed' down version, but ultimate the project was cancelled. And finally, the upcoming Honda Afeela car will be able to remotely play PlayStation 5 consoles, provided you have a PS5 turned on at home, similar to how the PlayStation Portal's remote play works.. The upcoming EV, produced in collaboration with Sony, is up for pre-order now for the low price of $89,900.
In today's Daily Fix:Things aren't looking good for Xbox on the hardware front. The latest sales data from Circana shows a massive 70% drop in Xbox hardware sales year-over-year in the U.S. To be fair, hardware sales for the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 were also down from November of 2024, but these numbers are especially damaging to Xbox. This year alone saw two significant price hikes on Xbox hardware. In other news, Sony and Tencent have agreed to a 'confidential settlement' with the Light of Motiram lawsuit. The game has now seemingly been pulled from Steam and the Epic Game Store. No cancellation has been announced. And finally, FIFA is back as the organization has announced a new game in partnership with...Netflix?
In today's Daily Fix:Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 may have been the best-selling game of November, but Battlefield 6 is on track to win the year. The latest sales data from Circana is positioning Battlefield to top Call of Duty for the first time in the two franchises' rivalry. In other news, Terminator: Survivors has been delayed indefinitely. The sci-fi survival game was announced a couple of years ago, and we haven't really seen much from it. And in related news, James Cameron is returning to the Terminator franchise once he's done with the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash. Cameron also stated that it's time for new characters in the series, so don't expect mainstay Arnold Schwarzenegger to return.
In today's Daily Fix:Larian boss Swen Vincke confirmed some details about their upcoming game, Divinity. While the announcement trailer was decidedly not kid-friendly, the game's tone will be similar to Larian's hit RPG, Baldur's Gate 3, and it will be turn-based, too. Fans can also expect the game to hit early access, just like BG3. In other news, dataminers have unearthed about 30 more minutes of unused dialogue from Metroid Prime 4's NPCs. This basically confirms that the divisive NPCs were chattier than what's in the final game, but there's always a chance that DLC could unlock that content. And finally, Prime Video's Fallout Season 2 will be available a full day than originally announced. The first episode goes live tonight at 6pm Pacific.
In today's Daily Fix:Casey Hudson, director of the just-announced Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, is assuring fans that the game will be out before 2030. This comes after some on social media are guessing the game won't be about until then, which isn't too wild of a guess considering Hudson's new studio was just formed this past summer, and the long development times of Triple-A games these days. There's also the KOTOR remake, which was announced in 2021 and has seemingly been stuck in development hell since then. In other news, Larian Studios just dropped a new update for console versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2. The game is now optimized for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, as well as Nintendo Switch 2. The next game in the series, titled Divinity, was just announced at least week's Game Awards. And speaking of, Phantom Blade Zero made a splash at The Game Awards with a new trailer, but if you're an Xbox or Nintendo fan, don't expect the game to launch side-by-side with the PS5 version. Phantom Blade Zero is a PS5 exclusive for at least one year.
In today's Daily Fix:Leon S. Kennedy is now officially confirmed for Resident Evil: Requiem, but don't expect just a simple cameo from him. Capcom developers have clarified how much of the game will be from Leon's POV, and just like his first outing in RE2, it looks like about half the game will have you playing as him. The other half will be played out via Grace Ashcroft, but there's a very strong possibility you'll have at least one more character to play as. In other news, Clair Obscur almost had a clean sweep at last night's Game Awards, winning 9 awards across 11 different categories. As a thank-you to fans, developer Sandfall has made the upcoming DLC not only available right now, but it's totally FREE. And finally, take a peek at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.
Editor's note: To clarify, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was nominated 13 times across 11 different categories, and won nine awards. IGN regrets any confusion.
In today's Daily Fix:Tonight is The Game Awards, and with it we can expect a deluge of new announcements and surprises. But a few surprises have already leaked onto the internet, including what look like the first images from the upcoming Tomb Raider remake. The remake will be a top-to-bottom retelling of the original game from 1996, but it will be set in the same continuity as the Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy that began in 2011. Another major leak is the reveal of the villain in the upcoming 007 First Light game. The villain, Bawma, will be played by Lenny Kravitz. And in other news, Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead has teased a roguelite mode, but don't get your hopes up. It's still in its early stages and may never actually get released. And finally take a peak into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.
In today's Daily Fix:The Call of Duty dev team has issued a statement basically acknowledging Black Ops 7's shortcomings and promising to move off the back-to-back yearly release of mainline Call of Duty games. This comes as Black Ops 7 was met with middling reviews and apparently worse sales numbers in the face of stiff competition this year. EA's Battlefield 6 and Embark Studios' ARC Raiders both launched around the same time and were met with widespread acclaim. Black Ops 6 was released only last year, and Modern Warfares 2 and 3 were also released in back-to-back years, leading many fans to complain each entry did not feel or play substantially different from the previous year's. In other news, two new games are being added to December's PlayStation Plus lineup: Assassin's Creed Mirage and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. They join the recently-released skating game Skate Story.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.
In today's Daily Fix:The latest leak for Ubisoft's still-unannounced Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake may have revealed the game's official title. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced appeared on the PEGI ratings website, but has since been pulled, lending credence to the title's legitimacy. Ubisoft has yet to confirm its existence, but a previous financial results presentation teased an unannounced game for March 31, 2026. In other gaming leaks news, the PlayStation store may have revealed a major franchise character returning to Resident Evil. Art for Resident Evil Requiem features Leon S. Kennedy prominently along with new character Grace Ashcroft. Kennedy has not been featured in a mainline Resident Evil game since Resident Evil 6 back in 2012. Expect a proper reveal at The Game Awards later this week. And finally, take a peek into a four-park family vacation at Universal Orlando Resort.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.
