Dark Math Games, one of the multiple studios staffed by former Disco Elysium developers to pop up and announce a very Disco Elysiumy RPG last year, have given their game a revamp. XXX Nightshift is now called Tangerine Antarctic, with the switch also bringing a shift from isometric perspective to third-person.

If you missed the recent flourishing of Disco spiritual successors created by ex-ZA/UMers, the others include Longdue's RPG Hopetown and Summer Eternal's mystery project. Meanwhile, Disco writer Robert Kurvitz and artist Aleksander Rostov are making something for a studio called Red Info, and ZA/UM themselves are working on a new CRPG called Zero Parades. It's all very easy to keep track of.

Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have opted to pull a recently deployed variant of the shooter's Terminid bugs offline for five weeks, in order to fix issues with them. Yep, for now you can dive onto planets like Oshaune and explore some Into the Unjust update caves without having to worry about burrowing bugs jumping out to mercilessly kick your bottom.

Rupture Warriors have been the main source of Rupture Strain ire since their arrival at the start of this month, as their ability to pop out of the Earth and instantly murder unsuspecting troops has proven tough to counter. At first, those hosting sessions were most at risk of dying like this, but Arrowhead's attempt to rectify the issue in Tuesday's patch seemingly put everyone in each party in an equal amount of danger, though some players did dispute this was the case.

Development footage of what appears to be upcoming superhero action game Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra has exploded upon the internet like Black Panther clawing his way into a seedy Parisian bar and flinging himself at alt-fascist soldiers in a whirlwind of kicked chairs and bursting bottles. This also being the content of said video.

Assuming the leaked goods are the Real McCoy, they suggest that the game will be a fast and furious brawler with a fair amount of environment destruction, which is probably what you're expecting from a game with Azzuri and Steve Rogers on the poster.

A child sim hugging a plush in the sims 4

The Sims 4 regularly rotates in new events alongside expansion pack releases to offer free content available to all players. The next big event is called Forever Friends, and it has plenty of items you can earn.

Although all items included in this event are free, you do need to work through many tricky quests to unlock them. Because of this, you may want to know what can be unlocked before you start working on it to determine if these prizes are worth the effort. Here are all the free items featured in The Sims 4 Forever Friends event.

Table of contents

There are 13 main free rewards featured in the Forever Friends event, plus six smaller collectables. The prizes you can unlock include both furniture items and CAS goodies, offering something for everyone. All of these prizes are themed to go with the arrival of the Adventure Awaits expansion pack, but you don't need to have this DLC to acquire them.

So far, we only have the official event image to go off, so what some of the rewards are is a bit unclear. We'll update with additional details as they emerge, but for now, here's a full breakdown of all items you can unlock.

  • Log in

    • Friendly Bear Plushie – A large monster plush that younger Sims can interact with. This item is granted right away upon logging in while the event is active.

  • Week one

    • Magnet board – A small white board that you can attach Magnet Collectables to.

    • Bracelets – A stack of colorful bracelets your Sims can wear.

    • Recipe – A new recipe your Sims can cook. Based on the picture, this seems to be baked potatoes.

  • Week two

    • Photo frame – A new type of frame you can place your photos in.

    • Tank top – An active style tank top your Sims can wear.

    • Pillow – A decorative pillow you can place around your builds.

  • Week three

    • Bunny light – A glowing bunny holding up a star that emits light.

    • Shoes – A fresh pair of sneakers for your Sims to wear.

    • Leggings – Some simple leggings for Sims to wear.

  • Week four

    • Romper – A romper outfit for Sims to wear.

    • Trait/Aspiration – Either a new Trait or Aspiration, likely for child Sims since the event is themed around them.

    • Onesie – A colorful monster onesie for child Sims.

  • Bonus rewards

    • Magnet Collectables – Small magnets featuring symbols and motifs from The Sims franchise. These will likely be unlockable across each week of the event, with a couple available to obtain alongside the main prizes featured every week. They're also usable on the magnet board you can unlock in week one.

When is The Sims 4 Forever Friends event?

The Forever Friends event is available from Sept. 23 to Nov. 4 in The Sims 4. This gives you about a month and a half to work through it, offering plenty of time to tackle the many missions it has and claim all available prizes.

There's plenty more to explore after learning about these event prizes. Next, you might want to learn about Gibbi Point, get to know all Imaginary Friends, or review all new items and features in Adventure Awaits.

A NBA 2K26 MyPlayer creation player in the game

The patch notes for the NBA 2K26 v1.4 update have been announced for all available platforms. It fixes a few more bugs ahead of Season 2.

Visual Concepts has been busy fixing some of the significant issues that have negatively impacted the game's performance. With Season 2 coming in October, there aren't any considerable gameplay tweaks. However, the latest patch fixes more irritating bugs that have been causing problems for players in the MyCareer mode.

Let's look at the full patch notes and see when they go live.

Complete NBA 2K26 v1.4 update patch notes

Once again, there are no gameplay changes to announce. This has been a recurring theme with the three previous updates as well. As things stand, it seems rather unlikely that there will be any gameplay changes ahead of v2.0 (likely to be released with the new season).

That said, here are the key changes of the new patch.

The City

  • Numerous fixes to game stability in The City have been made.

  • Resolved an issue with matchmaking that prevented locker rooms from properly filling; additional matchmaking improvements and optimizations will be arriving over the next week.

  • Resolved an issue that could cause outdated Daily Challenges to appear on the tracking list.

MyCareer

  • Build Specialization progress has been re-enabled when playing NBA games.

Once you get this update, you can take advantage of the Build Specialization feature. A critical issue that had locked the feature a few days ago has now been resolved.

Just like the last few patches, the v1.4 update will be going live on all Gen 9 versions of the game. It will be available on Sept. 18 for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 users, followed by a later date on PC. It should download automatically once you turn on your platforms, and you'll be good to go.
