Insomniac’s Wolverine game is launching in September

24 février 2026 à 17:45

While Insomniac recently stated that it wouldn't be sharing more news about its Wolverine game until the Spring, it turns out that wasn't entirely true. Today, Marvel and Sony both announced that Insomniac's Wolverine will be launching in September. 

Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games is now officially launching on the 15th of September, giving it a solid two months on the market before Rockstar dominates the charts with Grand Theft Auto 6.

Insomniac's Wolverine is a standalone game set in an expanded in-game universe that also encompasses Insomniac's Spider-Man games. Unlike Spider-Man, Wolverine will not be an open-world game, but will instead be a linear action-adventure with a number of unique levels.

While not yet confirmed, Wolverine is believed to be a precursor to Insomniac's own X-Men game.

AMD announces partnership with Meta to provide 6 Gigawatts of GPUs

24 février 2026 à 15:30

A few months ago, AMD signed an agreement with OpenAI to supply GPUs for upcoming datacentre projects. Now, the company has also signed an agreement with Meta to deploy up to 6 Gigawatts of AMD Instinct graphics cards to power AI datacentres.

The initial deployment will use a custom Instinct GPU based on AMD’s MI450 architecture, paired with 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs and running ROCm software. The systems will be built on AMD’s Helios rack‑scale architecture, which AMD and Meta co‑developed through the Open Compute Project. Meta plans to use the platform to accelerate training and inference workloads across its global infrastructure.

In return for this, AMD will issue Meta with up to 160 million shares, depending on performance targets being met. If 6 Gigawatts worth of GPUs are used up, then it appears Meta will get a roughly 10% stake in AMD in return.

Beyond GPUs, the companies are also expanding their EPYC CPU collaboration. Meta has already deployed millions of EPYC processors and significant volumes of Instinct MI300 and MI350 GPUs, and will now become a lead customer for both the 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” and the next‑generation “Verano” CPUs.

AMD and Meta say the partnership will support AI infrastructure at global scale, enabling faster development and deployment of AI models and services used by billions of people.

Resident Evil Requiem, Crimson Desert and more get day-one DLSS support

24 février 2026 à 15:00

A new round of DLSS-supported games are dropping this week. There is one clear headliner though – Resident Evil Requiem, which lands this Friday for PC and consoles.

Resident Evil Requiem is the finale to the modern trilogy of games, known as the Winters saga. The game will launch on PC with ray-tracing, DLSS Ray Reconstruction and DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation.

The other major game launching this week is Pearl Abyss's latest action game, Crimson Desert. While it shares a similar title to Black Desert, this is its own distinct game, with its own story. The game launches on March 19th and will have day-one support for DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation.

Other notable titles include John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, which launches with DLSS 4 on March 12th, and will have DLSS 4.5 Override support in the Nvidia app. Arc Raiders, which has supported DLSS since launch, is also launching its latest update today, titled Shrouded Sky.

Sapphire launches Pure X870A motherboard with WiFi 7

24 février 2026 à 15:01

Today Sapphire is launching its latest all-white AM5 motherboard, the Pure X870A WiFi 7. Sporting a minimalist design and the full X870 chipset, the motherboard is poised as a high-end option for custom gaming PCs with the latest Ryzen CPUs.

The Pure X870A WiFi 7 supports DDR5 memory up to 8400MHz (OC) and uses a 16+2+1 phase VRM to maintain stable power delivery under heavy workloads or overclocking. Dedicated heatsinks for the VRM, M.2 slots, and chipset help sustain performance during extended gaming sessions.

Connectivity is built around PCIe 5.0 for both graphics cards and NVMe storage, alongside WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Realtek 5Gb Ethernet for high‑speed networking. USB4 Type‑C provides 40Gbps bandwidth, DisplayPort Alt Mode, and 15W Power Delivery, giving the board flexibility for modern peripherals and multi‑display setups.

Sapphire’s BIOS offers an updated interface for monitoring and fine‑tuning system behaviour, while the TriXX‑M software extends those controls into Windows for cooling adjustments, lighting customisation, performance monitoring, and diagnostics.

The SAPPHIRE PURE X870A WIFI 7 will be available soon for around $249. We have one in-house to feature in an upcoming build, so stay tuned for that.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is officially on the way

23 février 2026 à 17:00

During a Dragon Ball anniversary event last night, a new, untitled game was teased. Now just weeks later, it appears a YouTube playlist update has revealed this game to be Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. 

The Dragon Ball ‘Age 1000' game announcement teaser was accidentally put into a public playlist on YouTube by the Bandai Namco YouTube channel. The playlist revealed the teaser as an initial announcement for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. Considering the game's codename and the Xenoverse' series' reliance on time travel, more than a few fans likely anticipated this anyway.

The Dragon Ball Xenoverse games have largely taken the spotlight on from previous 3D fighting games like the Budokai Tenkaichi series. In the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games, fans get to relive a mix of classic story fights, brand-new content and what-if scenarios. It has a massive character roster that has only grown through years of DLC support. However, with Xenoverse 2 having been around for almost 10 years now, this year would be a good time for a fresh new game in the series.

We will no doubt be getting more news on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 in the coming months considering Bandai Namco is already preparing its back end for new trailers.

Todd Howard pours cold water on ‘Starfield 2.0’ rumours

23 février 2026 à 16:00

For around a year now, there have been rumours of a major Starfield 2.0 update, one that would fix much of the criticism levied at the game at launch, while also bringing the game over to PS5 consoles. Unfortunately, one of those rumours has been shut down over the past week.

While it still seems likely that Starfield will make its way over to PS5, Todd Howard did want to address one of the recent rumours surrounding the game. In a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games, the long-time Bethesda game director said that ‘Starfield 2.0' is not a thing, although there are some big updates coming to the game this year.

“It is not Starfield 2.0 – I’ve seen some of that, and for expectation setting, I think it’s the kind've thing where if you like Starfield, we think you’re going to love this”, Howard added that the team is focused on “using outer space in ways that we haven't”. That last part is interesting, as one of the biggest fan requests for this game has been open travel between planets and space.

While not announced yet, it is also expected that Starfield will be getting a second story expansion at some point.

KitGuru Says: I really enjoyed my time with Starfield but I have yet to go back and play the DLC, in part because rumours of ‘major updates' have been floating around for so long.

Capcom speaks out on Resident Evil Requiem leaks

20 février 2026 à 17:30

A few days ago, we learned that physical copies of Resident Evil Requiem had leaked, close to two weeks before the game's planned release. As a result, footage of the game's ending, amongst other spoilers, have begun landing on social media and forums. The footage won't last long though, as Capcom is keeping a watchful eye out. 

In a statement this afternoon, Capcom confirmed that it is aware of the gameplay footage leaks for Resident Evil Requiem, which includes on leak showing off one of the game's major endings. Capcom confirms that it is in the process of taking down uploads of gameplay footage in the lead-up to launch day.

“Currently, we have found a large number of gameplay videos of Resident Evil Requiem that appear to have been obtained through illegal means. For the sake of our customers who are eagerly awaiting this game, we ask that you refrain from publishing or posting gameplay videos on video streaming services or social media before the game's release date”.

Capcom goes on to say that “posting gameplay videos prior to the release of this game is not only copyright infringement but also an act that offends other customers”. The publisher will “take firm action” against channels uploading early gameplay spoilers, including DMCA takedowns.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: If you're planning on picking up Resident Evil Requiem next week, be careful when looking at gaming forums and sites like Twitter, as leaks are bound to appear and be shared before Capcom is able to get them taken down.

Nioh 3 has sold over one million copies in a week

20 février 2026 à 17:00

Nioh 3 has had a hugely successful launch. Billed as the most ambitious game in the series so far, Nioh 3 has gone on to sell over one million copies in its first week on the market. 

Koei Tecmo revealed the milestone in a new Steam Community post, confirming that Nioh 3 has surpassed one million sales globally across PC and PlayStation 5. A new accolades trailer for the game has also dropped, showing off the game's numerous high review scores.

Nioh 3 launched on the 14th of February to wide critical acclaim, achieving an 86 overall score on Metacritic, a score aggregated over almost 100 individual critic reviews. The game achieved praise for its weapon variety, refined combat system, difficulty curve and massive open-world regions.

Ubisoft has ‘multiple’ new Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry games in development

20 février 2026 à 16:30

To the surprise of no one, Ubisoft has confirmed that it has ‘multiple' games in development for its flagship Assassin's Creed and Far Cry franchises, focused on both single-player and multiplayer experiences. 

Ubisoft has been attempting to branch out its biggest franchises into the multiplayer realm for more than a decade at this point but so far, nothing in the Assassin's Creed or Far Cry universes has managed to stick the landing. However, this week in an interview with Variety, Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot, has confirmed that more attempts are in the works, alongside the usual single-player games.

Insider Gaming has a bit more information gathered via developer sources. Two Far Cry games are still in development under the codenames Blackbird and Maverick. The former is said to be the codename for Far Cry 7, while the latter is supposed to be an extraction shooter set in the Far Cry universe.

Meanwhile, the Assassin's Creed games in development are said to include the Black Flag remake, as well as two other games codenamed Invictus and Obsidian, with the former being a new single-player game and the latter being a multiplayer project.

This news comes at an odd time, as Ubisoft had just recently cancelled a slate of games, including the Assassin's Creed Shadows multiplayer spin-off.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Ubisoft has been trying to crack the multiplayer formula for over a decade but so far, none of its attempts have been as successful as Rainbow Six Siege. The ironic part is that Ubisoft was an early contender in the extraction shooter genre with The Division, which had an excellent extraction-based PvP mode.

20 février 2026 à 16:00

If you are looking for a wallet-friendly monitor upgrade then MSI has a great option available for UK gamers this week. Currently, the MAG 275CQF E18 is 37% off.

The MSI MAG 275CQF E18 is a curved 27-inch QHD (1440p) gaming monitor with a Rapid VA panel and a 180Hz refresh rate, giving you a significant boost over typical 120Hz and 144Hz displays. The curvature here is rated at 1500R, giving it a slight wrap-around effect in your periphery for more immersive gaming.

In terms of colour accuracy, this monitor supports 136% sRGB, 94% DCI‑P3, 90% Adobe RGB, with a 10-bit depth. For response time, you are looking at a minimum of 0.5ms GtG, and you'll also get HDR support too. Connectivity-wise, the monitor ships with 1x DisplayPort 1.4a, along with two HDMI 2.0b ports, with HDMI-CEC included so you can wake the monitor when powering on a console.

Currently, the MSI MAG 275CQF E18 gaming monitor is 37% off on Amazon, bringing the price down to £119.

KitGuru Says: At just under £120, you can't really go wrong with a monitor spec like this.

Thermal Grizzly now sells delidded Ryzen 9850X3D backed by warranty

20 février 2026 à 15:00

Back in early 2025, Thermal Grizzly officially began selling delidded processors, backed by a warranty to give PC builders peace of mind. This week, the company is adding a new CPU to its delidded line-up – the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D.

A delidded CPU ships with the IHS removed, offering beginners and veterans alike an easy gateway to improved cooling by using a direct-die solution. The process of removing the IHS yourself can be risky and void warranty, so buying one through Thermal Grizzly instead is a safer option.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is AMD's new flagship gaming processor. It launched at CES in January, offering up 104MB of speedy cache, alongside a boost clock speed of 5.6GHz. With the proper cooling, a delidded 9850X3D should be capable of hitting that boost clock speed and sustaining it more often. If you know what you're doing, you may be able to get a bit more performance out of it through manual overclocking too.

Each delidded CPU from Thermal Grizzly is validated by their team before being shipped out to customers, so you shouldn't have to worry about receiving a dud. The CPU ships with its own warranty guaranteed by Thermal Grizzly, as well as the validation test results so you can see what they tested first-hand.

The TG Delidded Ryzen 7 9850X3D is available now, priced at €749. The company also offers delidded versions of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K.

Pokémon Leaf Green and Fire Red are officially coming to Nintendo Switch

20 février 2026 à 13:23

It's official, Nintendo and Game Freak are finally bringing back Pokémon Leaf Green and Fire Red. However, unlike the majority of other classic game re-releases on the Switch, these titles will not be part of the Switch Online virtual console system and will instead be sold as standalone games on the eShop. 

Pokémon Leaf Green and Fire Red return next week, on the 27th of February for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Before you get too excited, this is a simple re-release, with no graphical upgrades or Quality-of-Life updates, so you will be re-living the GameBoy Advanced experience, the same as it was over 20 years ago.

The games will both be made available on the Switch eShop at 2PM next Friday. Pre-orders are already live, but you'll have to shell out $19.99 for each game. On top of that, there is no confirmed online multiplayer functionality for trades or battles, so you will have to rely on local wireless in order to make trades or battle friends.

Considering how legendary both of these games are, it is a shame to see a lack of online functionality in particular, as it would make filling the Pokedex a lot easier for players. The price tag is also somewhat questionable given that this is a simple ROM of a game from 2004, with minimal work done to update it.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: As much as I loved these games back in the day, the lack of online trade functionality is off-putting. Fans may be able to get around this if the games support Pokémon Home transfers, but I would still far prefer seeing online trade functionality in-game, rather than needing to mess around with phone apps.

PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint five years after acquisition

19 février 2026 à 19:00

Back in 2021 in the midst of an acquisition spree, Sony acquired Bluepoint Studios to bolster its first-party PlayStation game development pipeline. Now just a few years later, Sony is shutting the studio down.

In a very unexpected move, Sony PlayStation has confirmed today that it is winding down its Bluepoint studio. The news was first broken by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, confirming that around 70 employees will lose their jobs due to the shutdown.

In a statement, a PlayStation spokesperson confirmed the news saying: “Bluepoint Games is an incredibly talented team and their technical expertise has delivered exceptional experiences for the PlayStation community. We thank them for their passion, creativity and craftmanship.”

The decision to close Bluepoint comes after a recent Sony ‘business review'. Apparently, after shipping the Demon Souls remake during the PS5's launch period, Bluepoint spent some time working on a live service God of War game, but this project was ultimately cancelled last year. The studio had been putting new game pitches together throughout 2025 but Sony seemingly opted to not pick any of them up.

Prior to joining PlayStation Studios in 2021, Bluepoint was viewed as the gold-standard studio for remasters, having worked on the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection, Gravity Rush Remastered, the God of War Collection, and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Considering that Sony just announced full remakes of the original God of War Trilogy, the closure of Bluepoint certainly comes at an odd time – they likely would have been perfect for such a project.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: This shutdown came out of nowhere but unfortunately, Sony wasted a lot of money on cancelled live service projects over the past six years, so some cuts were bound to be made at some point.

The Razer Huntsman Signature Edition arrives with £500 price tag

19 février 2026 à 17:00

This week, Razer is launching its most expensive keyboard to date. The new Huntsman Signature Edition lands with a £500 price tag. For that money, you get a high-end Analog Optical Switch keyboard with a focus on type-feel, high-performance polling rate and acoustics.

The keyboard combines Razer Analog Optical Gen 2 Switches with true 8000Hz HyperPolling and Rapid Trigger Mode, enabling fast actuation, rapid resets, and low‑latency input suited to competitive play. Razer says the model reflects years of development in switch design, reliability, and sound tuning.

The chassis is CNC‑milled from 6063 anodized aluminium, with key exterior elements finished using PVD coatings, which are typically found in high‑end watches and automotive components. These surfaces are hand‑polished to achieve a reflective finish, while the keyboard ships with textured doubleshot PBT keycaps and a mirror‑polished metallic triple‑headed snake keycap.

Internally, the Huntsman Signature Edition uses a layered acoustic structure with tuned foams and dampening materials to produce a fuller typing sound and consistent key feel. Each switch sits within this system to maintain uniform response across the board.

The keyboard is backed by a 5‑year warranty and is positioned as a premium desktop centrepiece. The Razer Huntsman Signature Edition is available now at £499.99 / $499.99 / €499.99 MSRP.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: This is Razer's most expensive keyboard to date at launch, but it is also extremely good looking, in part due to the extra money put into polishing up the chassis.

Corsair launches colour-shifting Galaxy and Nova FRAME 4000D cases

19 février 2026 à 16:00

CORSAIR has added two limited‑edition models to its FRAME 4000D lineup, introducing the Vault Series Nova and Galaxy cases with unique colour‑shift finishes. Nova moves from blue to teal to purple depending on the angle, while Galaxy transitions from pink to green to grey.

Both editions build on the FRAME 4000D chassis and include a compact PSU shroud that leaves room for a 120mm floor fan, a full tempered‑glass side panel, and an upgraded front I/O layout. The updated panel offers three USB‑C ports, with one being an ultra-fast 20Gbps port, while the remaining two offer 5Gbps bandwidth. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack and an ARGB‑lit power button using an MX‑style green mechanical switch.

As part of the FRAME Modular Case System, the Vault Series supports extensive customisation, including panel swaps, component upgrades, and alternative cooling layouts. The InfiniRail fan‑mounting system allows flexible positioning and supports up to 200mm front fans and 140mm fans in the roof. The chassis accommodates dual 360mm radiators and up to 13x120mm fans, with a GPU anti‑sag arm included to support modern graphics cards. The internal side panel can act as a cable cover or be removed to mount additional fans.

Storage options include removable trays for one 3.5‑inch drive or two 2.5‑inch SSDs, and the case integrates cable hooks, tie‑downs, and a mounting pocket for the iCUE LINK System Hub to simplify cable routing. Unfortunately, neither version of the case ships with any pre-installed fans, so you'll need to have some extra budget left over to acquire some.

Ubisoft Toronto, the studio in charge of the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake, has been hit with layoffs – although the publisher insists that the remake remains unaffected. 

Today, Ubisoft confirmed a new round of cost-cutting efforts, this time impacting its studio location in Toronto, Canada. Ubisoft is letting go of around 8% of its staff there, equalling around 40 employees.

In an internal email (via VGC), Ubisoft stated that despite the cuts, the Toronto studio will remain “a key contributor” to several co-development efforts, on top of its continued work on the Splinter Cell Remake, which unlike the Prince of Persia remake, has not been cancelled… for now at least.

Ubisoft Toronto is best known for its work on Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs: Legion, Splinter Cell Blacklist and the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake. The studio has also worked as a support studio on Star Wars Outlaws, Far Cry 5, Rainbow Six Siege and other projects.

KitGuru Says: Chances are if these layoffs are happening, the Splinter Cell Remake is still some ways away from going into full-scale production.
