In today's Daily Fix:The Helldivers movie has found a director in Justin Lin. Lin has experience with big franchises, helming several Fast and Furious movies and Star Trek Beyond. Helldivers has become one of Sony's most important gaming properties, with Helldivers 2 becoming its biggest-selling Sony title on PC, and being one of the few Sony-published games on Xbox. In related news, Helldivers developer Arrowhead has enlisted the help of Sony PC port specialist Nixxes to help trim Helldivers 2's file size on PC. Currently, the game takes up a massive 154GB of space, but a beta version now comes in at around 23GB. Arrowhead is planning to roll out the space-saving update once it completes testing. And finally, Xbox has revealed its December Game Pass lineup, with Mortal Kombat 1 leading the way. Sci-fi horror game ROUTINE will also launch on Day 1 on the service.

In today's Daily Fix:In a recent financial call, CD Projekt may have revealed its release plans for the next Witcher trilogy. The Witcher 4 is currently in development with no definitive release date, but CD Projekt wants The Witcher 5 and 6 to follow closely behind, with the goal of releasing those next three games within a 6-year window. Developer CD Projekt RED is not known for rushing its game releases, but the team attributes Unreal Engine 5 as helping to speed up their process. In other news, a new leak of development footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 has hit the internet, before quickly being scrubbed by Rockstar Games. However, the new footage didn't reveal much, just some animation tests and near-confirmation that a bike rental service will be included in the game. Exciting. And finally, IO Interactive has its hands full with 007: First Light, but it will return to the Hitman universe with the brand-new Hitman 4 some time in the future.

In today's Daily Fix:A Far Cry TV series is in the works from It's Always Sunny's Rob Mac and Alien: Earth's Noah Hawley. The plot of the show is being kept secret, but it will be an anthology series with every season a new location and story, similar to Hawley's Fargo TV adaptation. Rob Mac will co-produce and star. In other news, a new Helldivers 2 warbond is coming, and it will feature a fan-favorite weapon from a fan-favorite movie about an invisible alien hunter stalking soldiers in a jungle. And finally, Stellar Blade was a hit on PC, as was Sony's other first-party titles they've brought to Steam, but is the hype dying down for Sony games on PC?

In today's Daily Fix:Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's launch likely isn't going the way Activision would have hoped, at least in Europe. Via The Game Business, the European launch of the game saw 63% fewer copies sold compared to competitor Battlefield 6. It's also down more than 50% against last year's Black Ops 6. Game Pass subscriptions have not been taken into account as Microsoft has not provided that data. In other news, Charlie Cox doesn't want any of the credit for his performance as Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, even as he's nominated at this year's The Game Awards. Cox would prefer the accolades go to mo-cap artist Maxence Cazorla. And finally, despite what the internet is saying, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet very likely won't be out in 2026, and probably won't have presence at The Game Awards next month, either.

In today's Daily Fix:A financial report from Ubisoft may have revealed the release date for the long-rumored Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake. An entry for an 'unannounced title' dropped March 31st, 2026 is fueling speculation that the remake will be announced soon. The title is supposedly being made by the Ubisoft Shanghai team, the same studio behind Skull & Bones, which itself started as a spinoff of the original AC: Black Flag. In other news, some old friends will be popping up in Resident Evil: Requiem, but don't get too excited over the possibility of playing as multiple protagonists. Requiem's producer confirmed that past characters will show up, but he said to not "over-hype it." And finally, Nintendo is taking down fan-made character art in Kirby Air Riders, specifically those of a bikini-clad Chef Kawasaki. Yes, that's a sentence you just read.

In today's Daily Fix:The newly revamped Steam Machine has been the talk of the industry since its reveal last week. Unfortunately we don't know the price just yet, but Linus Sebastian over at Tech Tips doesn't think it'll be cheap. Sebastian recalled a conversation in which Valve acknowledged it won't be sold at a 'console price,' i.e., around $500. We here at IGN think it'll sell for—on the low end—$700-800. In other news, Battlefield 6 had a strong debut month, coming in at number one in game sales. Its closest competitor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, just dropped this month, so it remains to be seem who wins the holidays. And finally, Silent Hill 2 Remake is now available for Xbox Series X after being shadow dropped with a nice 50% discount.

In today's Daily Fix:Ghost of Yōtei's New Game Plus mode will be added in an update dropping November 24. You'll be able to start the adventure over with your weapons and upgrades carrying over from your last completed save file. There's also new camera featuresd, armor, cosmetics, and more. In other news, the director of the Marathon cinematic short film had to go onto social media to reassure the public that, no, the short was not made by AI. Director Alberto Mielgo claims that a staff of 155 people made the short, and it took them several months. This comes as more games—especially from Triple-A developers—are incorporating AI into their workflows. And finally, The Legend of Zelda animated series from the 80s will be streaming for free on Tubi. That should hold you over until the live-action feature-length film drops in 2027.

In today's Daily Fix:Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 for November have been announced, and the pixel art beat-em-up Marvel Cosmic Invasion is leading the pack. Fortnite Crew is also coming to the service, along with some extra Fortnite bonuses like V-Bucks. Other games include Kulebro and the Souls of Limbo, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and more. In other news, Sony has revealed their PlayStation sale for Black Friday, and you can score $100 off a PS5 console (including the Pro), discounts on PS Plus plans, and sales on accessories like the Pulse headset, DualSense Edge controller, and more. And finally, a gaming exec has said that Gen-Z doesn't care about AI slop. This seems to counter the pushback generative AI gets from the gaming community when used in game development.

In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo has revealed the first official looks at Zelda and Link in the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Bo Bragason's Zelda outfit appears to be inspired by the character's Breath of the Wild design, while Bengamin Evan Ainsworth's Link is wearing a green tunic, more in line with Link's traditional look in the early Zelda games. In other news, U.S. congressman Ro Khanna is taking aim at Call of Duty for its supposed use of A.I. in Black Ops 7. Khanna's concern seems pointed at the loss of jobs as A.I. takes over some of the low-level tasks humans would normally do. And finally, a fan-made project to keep Concord multiplayer alive has drawn the ire of Sony, who is taking down video content showing off Concord Delta. Although Sony cancelled the game and shuttered its developer after Concord's disasterous launch, a group of fans are reverse-engineering some of the server code to keep the game playable to those who bought it.
