The release of Terminator 2D: No Fate has been postponed from October 31 to November 26, due to changes in tariff rates that have affected the shipping of the necessary components for the physical editions of the game.

This delay is part of a broader context, where changes in global trade tariffs have caused delays and price increases in various products, including many video games. Recently, there have been price increases for consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation 5, which has raised concerns among consumers about the economic impact these decisions may have on the entertainment industry.
Terminator 2D: No Fate focuses on the struggle of Sarah Connor and John Connor against Skynet, leading them to star in a futuristic war where the survival of humanity is at stake. Players will have the opportunity to control both characters in different levels and face the machines that threaten to eradicate humanity.
The game will be available on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. In addition, two physical editions will be offered: a standard edition, which will be priced at €60, and a collector’s edition at €120€. The latter includes several special items, such as a collectible arcade coin, a full-color manual, and a collector’s case.
The gaming community eagerly awaits the new release, although uncertainty remains regarding the pricing situation and its effect on future products in the sector.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi has assured that sales of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth have improved since a financial report from Square Enix, published in September 2024, revealed a low initial performance. In statements to Automaton, Hamaguchi highlighted that the second installment of the Remake has performed successfully on both PS5 and PC. “I know some fans have expressed concerns, but please rest assured that we will be able to deliver a high-quality third chapter,” he confirmed.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi has assured that sales of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth have improved since a financial report from Square Enix, published in September 2024, revealed an initial poor performance. In statements to Automaton, Hamaguchi emphasized that the second installment of the Remake has performed successfully on both PS5 and PC. “I know some fans have expressed concerns, but please rest assured that we will be able to deliver a high-quality third chapter,” he confirmed.
A game that has managed to take flight
The development of this third game is already underway, with Hamaguchi indicating that much of the content is playable and that the team is focused on refining the game. “The direction and shape of the game are firmly established. At this moment, the team is united around perfecting everything,” added the director.
It is important to note that both Final Fantasy 16 and 7: Rebirth showed lower sales performance according to the financial report from May 2024. This report, prepared before the releases of both games for PC, raises questions about Square Enix’s release strategy. FF16 arrived on PC 15 months after its release on PS5, while Rebirth made its debut on the new system in January 2025, almost a year after the console version.
Square Enix has expressed its intention to “aggressively pursue” a new strategy to attract PC users. This includes the plan to launch titles such as the third part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake simultaneously for PC and consoles, in a move that contrasts with past mistakes related to temporary exclusives. This strategy could mark a significant change in the way the company approaches the market, seeking to adapt to the demands of current players.
PC players have been fundamental to the rise and globalization of the Yakuza series, which previously only enjoyed limited recognition outside of Japan. In a special interview during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, Masayoshi Yokoyama, director and executive producer of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, emphasized how the acceptance of the series by PC players has driven its development in the global market. “Until 11 years ago, we released our games exclusively on PlayStation and only for the Japanese audience,” Yokoyama explained.

PC players have been instrumental in the rise and globalization of the Yakuza series, which previously enjoyed limited recognition outside of Japan. In a special interview during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, Masayoshi Yokoyama, director and executive producer of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, emphasized how the acceptance of the series by PC players has driven its development in the global market. “Until 11 years ago, we released our games exclusively on PlayStation and only for the Japanese audience,” Yokoyama explained.
They owe everything to the PC
The Yakuza series was originally conceived as a product created “by Japanese people and for Japanese people.” However, the proper localization of content and the creation of an accessible environment for international players were key to changing this perception. Yakuza 0, which came to PC, is considered an excellent entry point for new players, offering a self-contained narrative and appealing elements for veteran fans of the series, such as the return of Majima as a playable protagonist.
With the upcoming release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, fans can expect even more innovations. This remake will offer enhanced graphics, as well as new weapons and moves inspired by the ancient Ryukyu kingdom, and promises to be equally accessible for those new to the saga. Yokoyama emphasized that “many PC players may not have had the chance to enjoy the previous installments, so this is a great opportunity to start their journey in the Yakuza series.”
With success in the PC market, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has seen significant growth and hopes to continue innovating. Yokoyama concluded his message with optimism, wishing to continue collaborating with the PC gaming community to provide fun and exciting experiences in the future.
PC video games have long been a fertile ground for player creativity, and mods are one of the main reasons for their success. These allow players to customize their experiences, making changes that developers do not always have the ability or desire to implement. Recently, there has been interest in a mod created by EpicNNG, which references statements from Samuel Winkler, narrative director of Borderlands 4.

PC video games have long been a fertile ground for player creativity, and mods are one of the main reasons for their success. These allow players to customize their experiences, making changes that developers may not always be able or willing to implement. Recently, there has been interest in a mod created by EpicNNG, which references statements made by Samuel Winkler, narrative director of Borderlands 4. Winkler mentioned that this installment would reduce toilet-related humor, a hallmark of the previous series.
EpicNNG is the cause and the solution of wacky humor
In an ironic twist, EpicNNG released the Skibidi Toilet mod, developed in response to Winkler’s desire to eliminate this type of humor from the game. Although the director expressed that the inclusion of skibidi in the game would make him cry, it seems that wishes are not always fulfilled. Winkler, for his part, has taken the creation of the mod in good humor, which has surely become a topic of conversation among fans.
However, not all of EpicNNG’s creations focus on wacky humor. The developer has also worked on mods that address more practical issues, such as reducing visual effects in Borderlands 4 to improve the accessibility of the title. This shows that the modding community not only seeks to add fun content but also to enhance the gaming experience for all players.
With the arrival of the new installment of the iconic franchise, the community is expected to continue exploring the potential of mods, whether to address design limitations, trigger laughter, or often a mix of both. Thus, what may have started as a challenge to a narrative director seems to have unleashed a flood of creativity that remains the true essence of gaming on PC.

2025 is shaping up to be a standout year in the world of video games, with a variety of titles competing for the prestigious Game of the Year (GOTY) recognition. Among the most acclaimed is Hades 2, the highly anticipated roguelike from Supergiant Games, which has been released in early access and is now available on both PC and the new Switch 2 console. With an average of 95 on Metacritic for its PC version and 94 for Switch 2, Hades 2 has received high ratings, positioning itself as one of the favorites of the year.
Hades 2 dominates among the audience and critics
Hades 2 surpasses other contenders like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Hollow Knight: Silksong, which have ratings of 93 and 92, respectively. However, it is noteworthy that Hades 2 is tied in score with the ports of The Legend of Zelda, which also hold a 95, although these are not releases from 2025. Critics have praised the evolution of Hades 2, which has improved its content and gameplay through multiple updates since its early access.
In addition to Hades 2, other titles are catching the attention of players, such as Shujinkou, an educational JRPG that has begun to gain recognition, and Blue Prince, released earlier this year with a rating of 92 on Metacritic. Split Fiction is also making a mark, with a score of 91, and is in the conversation, along with other titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Death Stranding 2, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which could be on the list of nominees for the Game Awards.
However, this year is not without concerns, especially regarding the acceptance of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the market. Some analysts and players have expressed their worries about the future of the console, which could have a significant impact on its development and on the industry as a whole.

He has no problems, except for all the ones he has
The context of this delay is not encouraging at all. Borderlands 4 has been suffering from serious optimization issues on PC and consoles, affecting performance and degrading the gaming experience. There have been reports of players on consoles experiencing a drop in graphical quality after several hours of gameplay, and PC users are unable to achieve a stable experience, which is concerning for fans of this famous franchise.
Gearbox has also developed plans to implement the cross-save feature, which would allow players to use a single account across all platforms. However, the development of this feature is complex and could further complicate the release process, as it requires considerable effort from the studio.
Randy Pitchford’s recent statements, CEO of Gearbox, have added fuel to the fire, as he suggested that the issues were largely the fault of player expectations and the performance of their teams, even recommending refunds to those dissatisfied with the game. Comments like these have contributed to the discontent in the community, which hopes to see significant improvements in the coming months.
As Gearbox works to optimize the game and fix post-launch bugs, the future of Borderlands 4 on Switch remains in uncertain limbo, leaving many fans hoping for a prompt and satisfactory resolution.
Silent Hill f will be officially released on September 25, although some lucky users who pre-ordered are already enjoying the game before its formal launch.

Silent Hill f will officially launch on September 25, although some lucky users who pre-ordered are already enjoying the game before its formal release. This highly anticipated installment of the famous horror saga has captured the attention of fans, achieving an impressive start with 88% positive reviews on Steam, suggesting that it has resonated well with the horror-loving community.
Why would you want a Silent Hill without fog?
However, not everything in the game is received positively. A mod already available on PC removes the characteristic fog that has been a hallmark of the series since its beginnings. This change allows players to explore the environment without the visual restrictions imposed by the fog, which was originally implemented to hide the limitations of the original PlayStation hardware.
For many, fog is not just a technical resource, but also a fundamental element that creates a disturbing and confusing atmosphere, blurring the line between reality and nightmare. The possibility of experiencing Silent Hill without this feature provokes a mix of discomfort and curiosity among fans. Some critics, while acknowledging that they would never play a Silent Hill installment without fog, find it interesting to glimpse the hidden details that are usually out of sight.
Players have started to share comparisons between the original version of the game and the modified one, generating an exchange of impressions about the aesthetics and details of the environment without the veil of fog. Despite the criticism towards the mod, the interest in experiencing the world of Silent Hill in its entirety, without visual restrictions, has added a new level of discussion among fans.
Thus, while the community continues to explore the game and its innovations, the fog remains a hot topic, encapsulating the essence of what it means to be part of this iconic horror universe.

The Shift Up team is in the midst of a whirlwind of speculation following the success of their game Stellar Blade, released on PlayStation 5 and PC. This week, the South Korean developer plans an announcement that has generated great anticipation among the gaming community, particularly after the release of an enigmatic image that has sparked a myriad of theories on social media and forums.
Is it about Silent Hill f?
Since its debut, Stellar Blade has positioned itself as one of the surprises of 2024, achieving a positive reception and a loyal fan base. However, the recent image, which shows an unusual hallway for its previous settings, has led players to speculate about its possible implications. Although Shift Up has not revealed concrete details, it is expected that the mystery will be resolved in the coming days.
The most discussed hypotheses include a potential collaboration with iconic franchises like Resident Evil, especially considering that Capcom will be involved in another project from the studio, Goddess of Victory: Nikke. However, the unsettling atmosphere of the image has also led some to think of a partnership with Silent Hill, which will release a new installment, Silent Hill f, this very week.
In addition to the collaborations, some players suggest that the announcement could refer to new downloadable content for Stellar Blade or even the possibility of a port for Nintendo Switch 2. With the secrecy surrounding the reveal, the community is eager, and speculations continue to grow. Undoubtedly, the coming days will be crucial to understanding the future of Shift Up and its enigmatic project.
Crossplay in video games has been a topic of debate in the community, especially in the shooter genre. With the arrival of Battlefield 6, EA has implemented a system that will allow players from different platforms to play together, facilitating connection between friends and expanding the player base. However, there are concerns about balance and the potential for cheating, especially between PC and console users. EA is taking steps in the right direction.

Crossplay in video games has been a topic of debate in the community, especially in the shooter genre. With the arrival of Battlefield 6, EA has implemented a system that will allow players from different platforms to play together, facilitating connection between friends and expanding the player base. However, there are concerns about balance and the potential for cheating, especially between PC and console users.
EA taking steps in the right direction
EA has clarified that, although the crossplay option will be available, there will not be an exclusive “consoles vs. consoles” mode when this feature is activated. The system will prioritize matching console players, but it will also include PC users, which opens the possibility of playing alongside those using mouse and keyboard. Console players will have the option to disable crossplay, but with the drawback of losing the ability to play with friends on other platforms.
Additionally, EA has committed to addressing the cheating issue with the implementation of a new anti-cheat system called Javelin, as well as through technical efforts to mitigate the impact of malicious software on PC. At a recent event, the company highlighted its aggressive approach to maintaining game integrity and ensuring that matchups are fair.
With the launch of Battlefield 6 scheduled for October 10 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, players are eager to experience how crossplay will work in a competitive environment. While many celebrate the possibility of joining friends regardless of the platform, concerns about balance and cheating still persist in the community, suggesting that the overall acceptance of this feature may depend on the effectiveness of the measures that EA implements.

Nintendo is not going to go down in history for celebrating the best anniversaries. If you want someone to plan your birthday, don’t call Kyoto. If for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario they gave us three ROMs on a cartridge for Switch for a limited time, for the 40th anniversary it seems that with the trailer for their new movie, the port of two Wii games, and a new Yoshi game should be enough. This makes us wonder if they really understand the purpose of celebrating an anniversary: to honor the person being celebrated. In this case, the Super Mario Bros. franchise.
But since Nintendo is not very good at celebrating anniversaries, it’s better not to talk about Luigi; it seems that the fans have kept that in mind. That’s why a group of dedicated fans has decided to align the release of their remaster of Super Mario Bros. with the birthday of the planet’s favorite plumber.
A remaster like the one we would expect from Nintendo
Super Mario Bros Remastered is a native PC port that allows you to play the original Super Mario Bros. on your computer completely legally and for free. For that, you just need to download the files they offer on their website and have a Super Mario Bros. ROM extracted from your original NES cartridge. Once you do that, you will be able to play the game they have created: a recreation made entirely from scratch that does not reuse any elements from the original game, with new sprites, levels, and audio, featuring an almost perfect recreation of the original game’s physics and mechanics.
Being able to play Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 (better known in the West as Lost Levels), a selection of new levels created for the occasion, and also levels created by the community, the content offered by this remaster is practically infinite. Especially because it includes an editor with which new levels can be created, allowing anyone to create new content for the game, just like in Super Mario Maker.
Additionally, like in the best remasters, it allows us to customize our experience down to the smallest detail. Being able to choose element by element of the game whether we want the classic or modernized experience, we can choose a mix of modern or old elements, allowing us to create a remaster to our liking from the options menu. This includes support for modern controllers, a 16:9 screen, and a new soundtrack inspired by the Super Mario All Stars version of SNES.
Cada juego tiene sus pequeños problemas
All of this sounds ideal, but it has its disadvantages. Although you probably won’t notice them unless you’re a true fan of Super Mario Bros. And we don’t mean that you just played it when you were a child.
The behavior of enemy AI and traps has changed, resulting in unusual behaviors, or making them pose no challenge in some cases, especially when playing in 16:9 due to their behavior. When we collide with an enemy, we lose only one upgrade, not all the upgrades we have, which is a substantial decrease in difficulty compared to the original game. And some physics have been slightly altered, both due to the change in object behavior and FPS in 16:9, as well as the arrangement of objects in general, making some jumps and the control of fire shooting and movement when we have the flower less fluid than it should be.
Estos son problemas que el 99% de los jugadores ni siquiera notará, pero están ahí y son detalles que cambian el comportamiento de una manera más o menos sustancial en algunos casos. Por eso no se puede afirmar que sea la mejor o más fiel manera de jugar los juegos originales, aunque sea una excelente manera de jugarlos para aquellos que no los han jugado antes, o para aquellos que no tienen un problema con esa fidelidad extrema a la idea original de sus creadores.
Because I mention these details, Super Mario Bros. Remastered is exactly the kind of project one would expect for an anniversary. A demonstration of the love and affection felt for the honoree. Something that Nintendo has not shown, but that its fans have undoubtedly managed to convey with this remaster.
