Blizzard opened BlizzCon 2026 with a full slate of World of Warcraft news. The studio laid out the next phase of the Worldsoul Saga, focusing on the final chapter of the Midnight expansion and sharing a teaser for its highly anticipated follow-up.

Facing the void in Eclipse

The upcoming Eclipse update will bring the Midnight expansion to its narrative climax. Players will plunge straight into the worldcore to confront Xal’atath as she reaches for her ultimate goal, the Worldsoul.

This confrontation will serve as a pivotal bridge for the overarching storyline, and whatever happens in Eclipse will set the stage for the final act of the saga. Blizzard has not locked down a firm launch date for the content update yet.

Looking ahead to The Last Titan

Once the dust settles in Eclipse, the narrative will shift north for The Last Titan. The expansion marks the third and final chapter of the Worldsoul Saga. Players will return to Northrend to face a threat that reflects on decades of Worldcraft history, spanning iconic moments from the Shifting Sands of Ahn’Qiraj to the Frozen Throne.

Blizzard kept plot details light to avoid spoiling the end of Midnight, but confirmed that a full reveal is coming early next year after Eclipse concludes.

By tying the conclusion of Midnight directly to the return to Northrend, Blizzard is setting up one of its most ambitious narrative arcs yet. The studio is clearly banking on nostalgic locations to anchor the end of this trilogy, but the success of The Last Titan will ultimately hinge on how effectively Eclipse sticks the landing. If the worldcore showdown delivers a satisfying payoff to the Xal’atath storyline, World of Warcraft will head into its next chapter with serious momentum.

Modern Warfare 4 brings Call of Duty back to its glory days. I hope the streak lives.

Infinity Ward’s latest campaign goes back to Call of Duty’s roots and recaptures what made me a fan more than a decade ago.

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
