Sony unveils new limited edition Hyperpop PS5 DualSense and accessories

8 janvier 2026 à 17:00

Since the launch of the PlayStation 5 back in 2020, Sony has kept the console feeling fresh thanks to plenty of additional accessories and customisation options. Joining the line-up in 2026 is the PS5’s new Hyperpop Collection – featuring bright and colourful face plates and DualSense controllers.

Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, the VP of global marketing at SIE Isabelle Tomatis officially unveiled the Hyperpop Collection: Featuring three new striking designs for DualSense wireless controllers and PS5 console covers.”

With a shiny/glossy finish complimented by a mix of bright colours transitioning into black, the Hyperpop collection is perhaps one of the PS5’s best-looking after-market accessories yet – second only to their ‘Chroma’ series.

The PS5 Hyperpop Collection is available in 3 colours (Techno Red, Remix Green, Rhythm Blue) and will be pre-orderable from the 16th of January – with shipping commencing from the 12th of March.

Additional details on the new console covers and DualSense controllers can be found HERE.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the PS5’s customisation compared to previous generations? Were the face plates a good idea? Which collection has been your favourite so far? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Fallout: New Vegas remaster reportedly in the works alongside Fallout 3

8 janvier 2026 à 16:00

In the wake of last year’s highly-successful The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, we began to hear an increasing number of leaks and rumours suggesting that Fallout 3 would be next in line to receive such a treatment. Though yet to be officially confirmed, insiders have claimed that not only is Fallout 3 set to get a remaster, but the much-loved New Vegas too.

As claimed by known Xbox insider Jez Corden via Windows Central, “we are eventually getting a Fallout 3 remake in the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.”

This far from surprising given both the success of Oblivion Remastered and the fact that a Fallout 3 remaster was leaked by Microsoft themselves back in 2023. What is more interesting however is that according to Corden the much-loved Fallout: New Vegas is also set to receive a similar treatment.

Fallout 3 New Vegas

While Fallout 3 has plenty of fans, New Vegas in particular has come to be known as one of the best RPGs of all time and so it getting a remaster in particular would be exciting indeed.

That said, while the Oblivion remaster was received warmly, it suffers from plenty of performance issues owing in part to its Unreal Engine 5 layer. Assuming Fallout 3 and New Vegas will be handled in the same way, here’s to hoping that more time is dedicated to making the experience a smooth one – though this might be asking too much from Bethesda.

KitGuru says: What do you think of this latest claim? Which of the two games would you want to see remastered first? What were your overall thoughts on Oblivion Remastered? Let us know down below.

Wolfenstein 3 reportedly in development according to multiple insiders

8 janvier 2026 à 12:00

The Wolfenstein series saw a massive resurgence in popularity following the release of 2014’s pseudo-reboot The New Order and 2017’s The New Colossus…with the 2019 spin-off Youngblood being a bit more contentious. After taking a break from the series to work on Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, the team behind the two mainline modern Wolfenstein titles – Machine Games – are reportedly developing a proper 3rd entry.

First reported by known Xbox leaker Jez Corden in a piece discussing the future of Xbox in 2026 and beyond, the insider claimed to have “heard that Wolfenstein III is also on the cards to coincide with the upcoming Wolfenstein Amazon TV show.”

Though far from definitive at the time, the publication Kotaku have since corroborated the claim, stating that they “can confirm it’s true from our own sources.”

Wolfenstein Machine Games

Given that the team only recently released Indiana Jones and The Great Circle back in late 2024 (and have worked on various ports and updates since), don’t expect Wolfenstein 3 to arrive any time soon.

That said, back in October the team at Machine Games did tease that work on their next project had officially begun, and so it’s possible we could get an early initial announcement in the not-too-distant future. We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the modern Wolfenstein games? Did you enjoy Indiana Jones? How long do you think we’ll have to wait for an official announcement? Let us know down below.

Black Ops 7 x Fallout officially unveiled and detailed

8 janvier 2026 à 11:00

In recent years Call of Duty has ramped up the number and intensity of their crossover events – with Black Ops 6 being the most egregious in this regard. Following plenty of backlash, Activision seems to have toned down their plans for Black Ops 7, officially announcing a somewhat more grounded Fallout crossover.

Though initially teased late last year, the team at Treyarch / Activision have now fully unveiled the first crossover coming to Black Ops 7; with COD x Fallout officially launching on the 8th of January alongside Season 1 Reloaded.

In what might be their most comprehensive crossover yet, this limited-time event will of course include the obligatory event pass (featuring both a paid and free track to earn various Fallout-themed cosmetics).

In addition, a paid bundle will be made available for purchase which focuses on Amazon’s Fallout show protagonist Lucy.

In terms of actual content however, the crossover will introduce a bunch of new modes across the board including:

  • Deathclaw Hunt World Event [Endgame]
  • Nuketown map variant ‘Vault Town’ [Multiplayer]
  • S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Mayhem mode [Multiplayer]
  • The Ghouls mode [Multiplayer]
  • Project RADS mode [Zombies]
  • Power Armor Royale [Warzone]

While a far cry from some of Fortnite’s more all-encompassing cross-overs, this latest collab will likely go down much more smoothly in the eyes of fans when compared to Black Ops 6’s offerings. We will have to wait and see – but with Microsoft owning both Call of Duty and Fallout, they’ll likely be winning either way.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Season 1 Reloaded? Are you looking forward to the crossover? How does it compare to BO6’s best? Let us know down below.

January’s Humble Choice line-up includes Sonic Frontiers; Hunt Showdown and more

7 janvier 2026 à 16:00

2026 is officially here, and seeing as how it’s a new month, Humble has another set of games available to claim right now as part of its Humble Choice subscription service. Kicking off the year with a strong selection of titles, January’s line-up includes Sonic Frontiers; Hunt Showdown; the Tomb Raider Classic collection and more.

Available to add to your library from now, January 2026’s Humble Choice line-up is as follows:

  • Sonic Frontiers
  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered
  • Hunt Showdown 1896
  • Etrian Odyssey II HD
  • Nice Day for Fishing
  • Metal Slug Tactics
  • Settlement Survival
  • Wizard of Legend 2

All in all this marks a pretty good month for Choice subscribers, with Sonic Frontiers offering a fun open zone to dash around and complete various platforming puzzles – all the while offering a set of more traditional boost-era stages as well.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remaster is, as it says, a remaster of Lara Croft’s earlier outings. Released a little under a year ago, this package offers options for both classic and enhanced visuals thanks to the efforts of remaster specialists Aspyr.

Wizard of Legend 2 meanwhile is a fun single-player or co-op rogue-like offering a mix of dungeon crawling, fun and fast gameplay as well as a wide variety of upgrades. Though somewhat of a downgrade in art style compared to the first entry, Wizard of Legend 2 is still definitely worth checking out.

As always, a portion of your subscription will go towards charity, with this month supporting Gamers Outreach: “A nonprofit organization that exists to empower hospitalized families through video games.”

Riot Games officially announce console release date for 2XKO

7 janvier 2026 à 14:00

Right at the tail-end of last year, Riot Games seemingly accidentally leaked the official console release date for their new 2v2 fighter 2XKO. Though essentially already known, Riot have now republished the trailer officially confirming that 2XKO is launching on consoles in under two week’s time.

Making the announcement via an official console trailer, the team at Riot Games have once again (but properly this time) unveiled the console release date for 2XKO – with the free-to-play fighter arriving on the 20th of January alongside the game’s first Season.

As mentioned, 2XKO is a 2v2 fighter set in the world of League of Legends. Officially released back in September on PC, the game currently features a total of 11 playable characters, with more coming during the aforementioned Season 1.

As of now, the list of champions includes the following:

  • Ahri
  • Blitzcrank
  • Braum
  • Darius
  • Ekko
  • Illaoi
  • Jinx
  • Teemo
  • Vi
  • Warwick
  • Yasuo

Developing a fighting game is no easy task, and while early reactions to the PC version have been positive, we will have to wait and see what console players think of the game when it arrives in less than two weeks’ time.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the console release? Have you tried it on PC yet? Which characters do you hope are added early on in its post-launch life? Let us know down below.

Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and more officially cast in live-action Tomb Raider show

7 janvier 2026 à 11:00

Back in 2024 it was officially announced that Amazon was working on a live-action adaptation of the popular video game franchise Tomb Raider. While the titular Lara Croft was already confirmed to be played by Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner, a large selection of the rest of the show’s cast have now been revealed.

Taking to the official Tomb Raider subreddit to make the announcement, Amazon Studios unveiled the list of supporting actors which have been cast in the upcoming live-action TV Prime Video show.

As mentioned, we already knew that Sophie Turner would be taking on the role of Lara Croft. That said, Amazon have now unveiled nearly a dozen other actors set to appear in the show, including but not limited to:

  • Jason Isaacs as Atlas DeMornay (Lara’s uncle)
  • Bill Paterson as Winston (Croft family Butler)
  • Martin Bobb-Semple as Zip (Lara’s friend)
  • Celia Imrie as Francine (Head of Advancement at the British Museum)
  • Sigourney Weaver as Evelyn Wallis (“a mysterious, high-flying woman who is keen to exploit Lara's talents”)

Tomb Raider live-action

Alongside the cast announcement, showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge shared the following message: “Tomb Raider boasts a plethora of iconic characters. I am thrilled to have been able to bring some personal and fan favourites to the screen while also introducing a few new rascals of our own to the mix. This cast is beyond my wildest dreams!”

The full list of announced cast members can be found HERE. Little is known about the plot for this live-action Tomb Raider, but with so many original characters being included, expect a story which is adjacent – but not directly comparable – to the games which it is based on.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the show? What do you think of the announced cast? Could this be the best Tomb Raider adaptation yet? Let us know down below.

Far Cry 3 seemingly next in line to receive 60fps current-gen patch

6 janvier 2026 à 17:00

Ubisoft has been one of the better publishers when it comes to updating their back-catalogue of games for current-gen hardware, with multiple Assassin’s Creed titles; Far Cry entries and most recently The Division 1 all getting 60fps patches on PS5 and Series X|S. It appears as though more such updates are in the works, with Ubisoft teasing that the iconic Far Cry 3 could be next in line.

Responding to one Twitter user who wrote: “Far Cry 3 classic edition and Blood Dragon 60fps update when? Please tell me soon!” the official Far Cry page posted a meme featuring the known ‘smug stickman’ – suggesting that such an update is in the works.

As mentioned, Ubisoft have released a ton of performance patches for various last-gen titles, including but not limited to: Far Cry 4; Far Cry 5; Assassin’s Creed Syndicate; AC: Origins; Odyssey and The Division 1. As such it is unsurprising that one of the most iconic titles ‘Far Cry 3’ would be seeing a similar treatment.

Far Cry 3 60fps

All that being said, as with pretty much all previous 60fps updates, expect little else in the way of enhancements. This means that Far Cry 3 on PS5 will likely still operate at 1440p albeit at 60fps instead of 30. Unfortunately, don’t expect any major changes otherwise – meaning it will still likely feature a rather narrow field of view (among other last-gen compromises).

Still, having as many last-gen titles as possible updated to offer 60fps at the very least is welcome to see. Hopefully we get a formal announcement soon.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Ubisoft’s ongoing support for last-gen titles? Would you like to see more games get native current-gen enhancements instead? Or is 60fps enough of an improvement? Let us know down below.
