Nintendo aired the first of two back-to-back Nintendo Directs this morning (the other presentation airs tomorrow), focused on The Legend of Zelda’s 40th Anniversary. The presentation heavily focused on the upcoming remake of Ocarina of Time, but it featured plenty of other updates on the live-action Zelda film, a slew of new merchandise, live attractions, and more. Here’s a quick recap of everything that was announced. The Legend of Zelda MovieAlthough we still don’t have a proper trailer, the live-action film adaptation of The Legend of Zelda got its official title: The Legend of Zelda.

Nintendo pulled back the curtain on the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time today in a big way making it the primary pillar of the Zelda 40th anniversary showcase. Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma played a lot of the early game and detailed many of its various changes and updates. First off, we got a good look at young Link with all kinds of additional textures and details on his character model. Following the presentation, an extended trailer for the game also showed adult Link and lots of moments and characters from the game. Some, like myself, might…
The Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time finally has a release date, and it launches this November. More specifically, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake launches on November 5, 2026, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. This release date puts the remake launching just two weeks before Grand Theft Auto VI, which is anticipated to be the biggest game launch of the year. Nintendo seems to know the cachet The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has, though, and many gamers will likely pick up this remake in November, whether they’re picking up GTA…

Exodus is an ambitious sci-fi RPG from Archetype Entertainment that shares some DNA with Mass Effect. It’s evident if you know the studio’s history (many of its higher-ranking developers used to work at BioWare), but you can also tell just by looking; it’s nearly impossible to make a story-driven sci-fi game without those comparisons being made. One of the easiest parallels comes with Exodus’ companions, and when I played the game at Archetype’s Austin offices, the dark-haired companion Suliman left quite an impression. “Suliman is one of the leaders of the Tenjin Dynasty, which is a very powerful faction on…
It’s been a busy year for games so far. A new Nintendo console just launched. I haven’t yet beaten Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or Doom: The Dark Ages, despite truly loving what I’ve played, and I’m at least three games behind on the new releases I want to check out. And yet, these past few weeks, whenever I’ve sat down to play a game in my spare time, it’s been 2017’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.Now, outside of it being my favorite game of all time, it also recently received a big performance upgrade through the Nintendo…

Welcome to September 2026, which will forever be known as pre-pre-GTA VI month. Alternatively, it might be known as the month when every single video game came out.

We have lots of game recommendations below (and we didn’t even cover everything this week, frankly), but before we get to that, here are some of our biggest stories of the week.Everything Announced At The September 2026 PlayStation State Of Play Xbox Announces Monthly Hour Limits To Cloud Gaming Are Coming In November The Blood…

In 2008, Kojima Productions released what was billed as the swan song for Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear series: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The game had the staggering task of tying up decades of storytelling by bringing together Solid Snake, Ocelot, Otacon, Raiden, and many more characters for one explosive finale. The adventure centers on a rapidly aging Solid Snake racing against the clock to stop his twin and nemesis, Liquid Snake, one last time. Of course, there are far more bizarre shenanigans at play. Guns of the Patriots was acclaimed for its storytelling, cinematic presentation, and evolution…
