The fan-made mod of the original Fallout game has a real trailer and it looks sick
Developer Alexander "Red888guns" Berezin is the brains behind the project and he used the GZDoom engine to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS that resembles the newer games. The art style is pretty incredible in this trailer and looks to be a highlight of the project. Take a look for yourself.
This doesn't look like a full mod of the entire game, as that would be quite the undertaking. Rather, it reimagines the Necropolis section. The trailer ends with a confrontation with the boss of that zone, indicating the mod will be a retelling of the sequence, and not a reimagining of the whole game. This reminds me of the first installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake that was entirely set in Midgar .
Unfortunately, we have some time to wait before we get our hands on this mod. The trailer indicates a release date in 2027. There's also the Bethesda-sized elephant in the room. Who knows if the company's lawyers will go on a letter-writing spree to get this project shut down.
This is a side gig for developer Berezin, as he's also working on New Blood's Fallout-style throwback RPG. We don't know when that one's coming out.

‘Fortnite' Reveals Chapter 6, Season 4 Name, Concept And ‘Halo' Connection
Fortnite has done yet another video game crossover, a move that is hardly news in this day and age, but in this case, it's a bit interesting. The game has announced it's adding Spartans, specifically female Spartans from Halo, five years after adding Master Chief himself to the game back in 2020. I find it at least mildly amusing that to fully get players to understand that these were female Spartans they had to show them off from a…certain angle, which certainly makes that clear. We see two different colors, indicating customization, though I'm not sure if that applies to specific armor pieces as well. There is not a corresponding set of generic male Spartan skins in the game, just Chief. This also came with the name of season 4, "Shock 'N Awesome," and the description: "Investigate the start of the bug invasion, and ready up for the fight against the insect adversaries on August 7!" With these Spartans comings, in terms of properties Microsoft owns that have shown up in Fortnite we have: In another life I would imagine that we might have seen a Joanna Dark skin if that game wasn't just summarily executed recently. We didn't get anything out of Bethesda's big Starfield release, either.

While Halo Infinite multiplayer has dramatically improved in time, it's not exactly top of mind in the PvP space and we have not seen anything at all from Master Chief after the initial Infinite campaign in 2020. Only lately have we started to hear rumblings from Microsoft that they may start talking about the future of Halo soon, but we have updates on quite literally almost all their other big franchises at this point other than what was supposed to be their biggest. But that's not true any longer. Other bits of rumors attached the release of these female Spartan skins are that they will have a red/blue energy sword pickaxe. Halo is a big part of the season 4 battle pass, and will be involved in the upcoming 'invasion' storyline that may involve giant bugs. These female Spartan skins may be rank 1 on the pass. More info is coming out as we speak, so stay tuned for updates on that front. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reacts to being NBA 2K26 cover athlete: 'A dream come true'
Like King Midas, anything Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has touched over the last year has turned to gold. The 27-year-old is fresh off one of the greatest individual seasons ever. An MVP award and a championship ring headlined his historic campaign. The Oklahoma City Thunder cemented their spot among the greatest teams ever. A historic 68-14 regular-season record translated into the playoffs with the manifestation of a championship. Now, there's no denying Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the best players in the league and is well on his way to being an all-time great. After the championship parade, the accolades kept piling up. He may need to build a second trophy case as his MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP awards were likely stuffed in the first one. To continue his offseason celebrations, Gilgeous-Alexander was also named the NBA 2K26 cover athlete. It's an honor only the NBA's best players have. Gilgeous-Alexander has skyrocketed to the top with three straight 30-plus point campaigns. It's only right that the Year of SGA gets to don the NBA 2K cover. After all, he's one of the highest-rated players in the video game. "It means the world. A game I grew up playing since I was young and can remember," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "To know I'm the cover of the game is a surreal feeling. A dream come true." Gilgeous-Alexander is an unapologetic 2K head. He always talks to Ronnie 2K about the game and gives him feedback. After hoping to land on cover art, the 27-year-old made it undeniable with such a historic season. "I was ecstatic. I was through the moon," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "Tried to hold back some tears." NBA 2K26 will release on Sept. 5. The annual game serves as a reminder to get basketball back in the mainstream after the offseason is about over. The Thunder and Gilgeous-Alexander will enter the 2025-26 season as a favorite to repeat as champions.

‘Starfield' And A New Expansion Heading To PS5 In 2026, Says Report
While once upon a time, Xbox seemed determined to keep a new first party IP like Starfield to itself, since there have been massive changes to its platform philosophy, it has felt like a matter of time until it ended up on PS5. Well, that time may be coming. According to a new report from MP1st, their sources say that Starfield will be coming to PS5 in the spring of 2026, and at the same time, will release a second expansion for all platforms, along with Quality of Life updates. I would consider this more than just a random rumor, as MP1st has correctly reported on other Xbox stories ahead of the fact like the Oblivion Remastered and Persona 4 Remake reveals ahead of time. That would indicate Xbox sourcing that would in fact know something like this. Of course, nothing is a guarantee, and past that, existing plans can change. Starfield has been a strange game. It was touted as having the most players for a Bethesda launch ever, but that was of course in part due to it being on Game Pass. Its Metacritic score of an 83 was well below most other Bethesda games. Its user scores were worse, and it is sometimes viewed by fans as a game they wish Bethesda hadn't made instead of getting Elder Scrolls VI out five years sooner. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder I would say it's less surprising that Starfield will be coming to PS5 than it is the fact that Starfield may be getting a second expansion. Again, it seems like Bethesda should be 100% focused on Elder Scrolls or other future projects. Even as someone who liked the game more than most, its first Shattered Space expansion was quite bad, and it was a mere blip on its playercount charts, indicating that vast majority of Starfield owners didn't bother with it. So they actually made another one? I'd be shocked. Despite all this, Starfield on PS5 is almost certain to do pretty well as a AAA Bethesda game at baseline. Microsoft's controversial multiplatform release strategy has so far panned out, like this past year creating a bizarre situation where Xbox is the number one publisher of games on PlayStation. Imagine telling people that ten years ago. Even with Xbox releasing many games on PS5, this one would be one of the most significant. Back when Microsoft was arguing about Call of Duty exclusivity in court, they specifically cited Starfield as a game that would remain exclusive as a new, original IP under the Bethesda they now owned. But here we are. Wild times. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
