Penguin Colony is not messing around with its statement on the Palestinian genocide, banning sale in Israel and calling out the games industry in-game

Penguin Colony is probably the best pisstake of Lovecraft and Lovecraftian horror I've played. It's the best because it places Lovecraft's universe at a creaturely remove, amplifying its absurdity without having to drop any punchlines. Entering a ravaged polar campsite, I advance among burning tents and uniformed corpses to a pioneer seated on a crate, who is busily sawing his own face off. Ice and snow shrill overhead and Lenval Brown's narration rumbles in my bones, speaking of eldritch relics and unquenchable ambitions, of "queer creatures" and inexplicable deaths, of madness and glory, of "scientific explanations" and empires from other dimensions. I consider all this, and say: Fnaaarp. Another man standing at the top of a pile of sandbags catches my attention. I waddle up to him and his head explodes, emitting a gory spark that resolves into the word "sex". I regard the body gravely and say: urk urk urk. Then I flop on my belly and slither out of camp, chasing the whistling wires of the wind. For I am a penguin. These creatures, their flags, their words and their elder gods mean little to me.

Bungie surprised players last month by announcing its intention to bring back Destiny 2 campaigns and other additions taken out of the game over the years. When that 'unvaulting' plan was initially announced, Bungie didn't share any specifics, nor a timeline as to when we can expect the things to return. Now, the developer is finally offering some hints. Bungie head of product, Josh Deane, revealed that Bungie is close to sharing a progress update. "I know there are a lot of questions on the how, what, when of unvaulting. Including any potential future updates to D2 and what's beyond for Destiny," Deane wrote on X in a post only recently spotted by The Game Post. "There's going to be a very intentional process for all of it that will take time. "

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season Two once again sees Studio Trigger handle animation duties, and this time, the anime powerhouse has gotten even wilder with its depiction of Night City and its residents. While the first season was bold in its visual direction, director Kai Ikarashi has pushed it even further, using more abstract shapes and experimental animation techniques to capture the look and feel of a cutting-edge dystopia. What does that lead to? A new season that showrunner Bartosz Sztybor calls a shift from Michael Bay-directed movies to Martin Scorsese-inspired (absolute) cinema. "I think the difference for me is—and I think I once made this reference—visually, the first season was very Michael Bay, while this second season is more like Martin Scorsese," Sztybor said to GameSpot. "He uses shapes and light differently. Even if the backgrounds are the same real places from the game, and Studio Trigger was sometimes using the same assets, the way he recreates them is different. It fits the vibe of the story, which is also very different. It's not this huge emotional thing, but rather something indie, more punkish, and more realistic. For example, the violence in season two feels

Amid all the violence and cool cyborg technology, the first season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a tragic love story at its core. But in the second season? It might be more punk-rock , following a new cast of characters around Night City, but according to showrunner Bartosz Sztybor, emotional themes of love and parenthood are the connective tissue between seasons. "Honestly, from my perspective, all the themes, emotions, and questions are almost the same as with season one," Sztybor said to GameSpot. "I really like to treat both seasons as connected, as mirrors of each other—two pieces of something bigger that have a constant dialogue with each other. It's still a tale about sacrifices and what you will do for love. In season one, we saw the relationship between David and his mother in the first episode, and how the things she told him shaped him. Even in the last episode, he mentions his mom. Season one had this parent-child relationship from the kid's point of view. In the second season, we also have a parent-child relationship, but from the parent's perspective. A lot of those things are connected, but the cast and the choices are different, so the outcomes may also be different.

Updated: Oct 20, 2026 11:01am UTCCD Projekt has announced a surprise update to Cyberpunk 2077, due out this week. The Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5) launches Thursday, October 22, and while CD Projekt kept the details quiet, it has confirmed it will feature content "inspired" by the anime. Edgerunners 2 hits Netflix today, so this update is well-timed to capitalize on heightened interest in all things Cyberpunk 2077. But what, exactly, is in the update itself? CD Projekt took to social media to confirm that Cyberpunk 2077 will get "new items and features," which includes the content inspired by Edgerunners 2. ""Update 2.5 will be dropping on October 22, 2026, marking yet another opportunity to dive back into Night City or experience it for the very first time," the developer continued. What does new "features" mean? Fans are hoping for more than minor Edgerunners cosmetics. Rather, they’re hoping for substantial DLC that includes new content. Maybe even a new official, CD Projekt-made quest. “So f***ing hyped about what we cooked for you,” teased Paweł Sasko, associate game director on the in-development Cyberpunk 2. Perhaps fans should get their hopes up, then.
