Announced today during Minecraft Live, Mojang is adding the first new dimension to the blocky sandbox game in more than a decade and a half. The Sift is an ethereal-looking fourth dimension that was first marketed for Minecraft Dungeons 2, and it’s now been confirmed that it’s coming to the base game in 2027. The Sift is a major new addition for Minecraft, marking the first new dimension since 2011’s The End, where players go to fight the Ender Dragon in the end game.

Minecraft’s next game drop will add a new underground environment to the sandbox game, along with a new hostile mob, and items that bring frosty mechanics to exploration and combat. Announced during Minecraft Live on September 26, the upcoming game drop is expected to follow the usual drop cadence of once per quarter, releasing in December 2026. Its biggest addition is ice caves–a rare underground extension of Minecraft’s existing cold biomes.

Crimson Desert is an action-RPG. It’s also a medieval fantasy game. It’s kinda sci-fi, kinda like Dragon’s Dogma 2, with a sprinkle of The Witcher 3, and there are even some Breath of the Wild and Assassin’s Creed comparisons to throw into the increasingly ridiculous pot.

Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement with the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) ends on December 1, 2026. A new agreement has to be reached prior to the start of the 2027 season the following spring, and as it stands, there are some very big sticking points in negotiations, particularly around the topic of a salary cap.

There’s way too much going on in Fortnite’s core Battle Royale mode in Chapter 7 Season 4. With sprites giving everybody a bonus ability, and Overrides fundamentally changing the way the game works in the middle of matches, we’ve got kind of a large pile of gimmicks that show up in matches at random, if they show up at all. It’s made for a disorienting and inconsistent experience that’s difficult to strategize for, because there’s no real status quo to get used to.

Diablo 4 players are decking themselves out in full sets of Mythic Unique gear as part of Season 15, resulting in characters that are more powerful than ever before. Whether that was Blizzard’s goal, or this is simply a mistake of some kind, is currently up for debate. It’s about as big of a change from one season to the next that Diablo 4 has ever experienced.

There are a number of fights in Onimusha: Way of the Sword that get on my nerves. Greater Nue. Byakue for the, like, umpteenth time. Sasuke Uchiha–I mean, Sasaki Ganryu. The stupid last boss, who I thought would literally never die. I felled them, one after the other, most times on the first or second try, but it forced me to rethink how I played the game because the greatest enemy of all was actually the fickle camera.

No news is good news, they say. They also say that some news, however little, is good news, too, and girl, do we have some news: Ubisoft’s struggling action-adventure game Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still alive despite remaining in development hell.
