Capcom announced that there will be two kinds of Resident Evil badges available on Twitch to go along with the launch of Resident Evil Requiem. These will start to appear when the game debuts on February 27, 2026. In addition, Capcom shared images of all the Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition skins for characters and weapons.
There are few details about how to get both of the Resident Evil Requiem Twitch badges, but they are tied to actions related to the game on the streaming service. We do know what days each one will be available. The Mr. Raccoon one will show up first. It can be earned between February 27, 2026 and March 5, 2026. The Umbrella Logo will show up after that. It first becomes available on March 6, 2026, and we'll have until March 13, 2026 to earn it.
As for the Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Edition, Capcom confirmed the following character costumes and weapon skins will be part of the bundle. We did know about the Lady Dimitrescu one for Grace, but the others are basically first looks. Here's the list of what we can get:
Here's how all those look, and there are two screenshots of the game's different filters too.
Resident Evil Requiem is available in standard and deluxe editions for the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 27, 2026, and Twitch badges based on the series debut that same day.

Marathon's Server Slam has begun, with the full launch coming soon, and we finally have confirmed details about the abilities of the seven Runner Shells.
Every Runner Shell in Marathon has a unique playstyle that determines their respective strength and weakness. No two Shells behave in the same fashion, and all of them have unique roles, traits, and abilities. This guide will provide you with an overview of all seven Runner Shells that are currently available.
Table of contents
All Runner Shells and their abilities in Marathon
All Runner Shells have a Prime ability, which can be considered their ultimates. These abilities are extremely powerful, but they take time to charge up. They also have their unique traits that serve as their primary gadget. The kit is completed by two abilities or traits that are unique to all Shells.
Destroyer
The Destroyer is a great choice for beginners and serves the role of an all-rounder in a perfect fashion.
Vandal
Vandal mixes combat-focused abilities with movement buffs.
Recon
The Recon is the perfect Shell to locate and track down enemies.
Assassin
The Assassin's primary role is to use stealth to create confusion among the opposition players.
Triage
If you want to play as a healer, Triage is a great Shell to pick.
Rook
Rook is the perfect scavenger, and that's all you need to know.
Thief
If you're one to go for the best possible loot, Thief is a great choice. She can also use a drone to steal from enemies.

The Introducing: Traxus contract is a priority mission to complete in Marathon, and it's one of the more challenging quests.
The contract consists of three parts, but you need to finish all of them on a single run. Moreover, the contract also requires you to go up against an extremely dangerous UESC enemy. This guide will help you understand more about how you can complete the contract without any additional trouble.
Table of contents
Marathon Introducing: Traxus contract walkthrough
The Introducing: Traxus contract can be divided into the following parts.
Hack terminal at Intersection, Complex, or Bio-Research
For this, you can pick up any of the three named locations that can be found on the Dire Marsh map. I chose to complete it at Intersection, but you can go for a different one if you want. The location of the terminal will be slightly different based on which location you're opting for.
If you go for Intersection as I did, the terminal will be located on the second floor of the building shown in the image above. You can take one of the two side entrances to enter and then take the stairs. Once you're close to the terminal, you'll be able to interact and hack it to complete the first step.
For your benefit, I have marked the location of the terminal (at Intersection) in the screenshot above.
Acquire the Shipping Manifest from the UESC Commander
Once the hack is complete, the UESC Commander will appear at your location. He is really easy to spot since there will be a pink icon highlighting his presence. He has a massive shield in front of him. To defeat him easily, shoot at him from the second floor to land clean headshots. Do note that the commander won't be alone at the location.
Scan the nearby stacked shipping container before it is picked up
There are two containers in front of the lab building at Intersection. The correct container is the one on top. Climb up, and you'll get the prompt to scan it. Once the scan is complete, this will finish the Introducing: Traxus contract. When you're scanning the container, you're prone to getting shot.
Completing the contract officially introduces you to the Traxus faction and opens up more options for you.

One of the early contracts in Marathon requires you to scan the FTL Array at any USEC Radio Tower, and the task can be slightly tricky.
This is likely going to be your first contract where the game doesn't tell you where you need to be. The task is actually rather simple once you know where you need to reach and be. This guide will simplify the process and allow you to get all the applicable rewards.
Table of contents
How to locate the FTL Array in Marathon
The first task is to receive and keep the contract active. As of writing, only a contract can be kept active at any given time. Once done, start a run. Ideally, I am finding it easier to complete contracts with teammates rather than going solo.
You begin on the Perimeter map since it's part of the contract. Once the run begins, head to the Station location. While there can be more towers located in other parts of the map, the Station POI was the nearest one for me when I was about to complete this contract.
The Station is pretty easy to locate, but the same can't be said about the FTL Array on the USEC Radio Tower. If you're close to the tower, you'll find the quest icon (yellow colored) appearing on your screen. The tower can be found about E 100 on the overhead compass. However, I have marked the exact location on the image below to make it easier for you. The location isn't random, and you'll always find the FTL Array at this location.
How to scan the FTL Array in Marathon
Once you've located the tower, use one of the attached ladders to climb up. Look for a blue-colored terminal, and it will have an interactable FTL Comms Chip on it. If you're this close to the tower, you can simply follow the icon as well.
Interact with the FTL Array and complete the scan, and this will complete your contract. Once you end your run, you'll be able to redeem all the applicable rewards as allotted by the contract.

Like other extraction shooters, Marathon builds its world with quests called Contracts that you complete for various factions in the game.
In one early-game quest in Marathon, you need to complete multiple objectives in a single run. If you finish one step but not the other, you won't get credit for completing it and won't get the delicious rewards.
Introducing: NuCaloric is the contract, and here's how to complete it.
Marathon - Introducing: NuCaloric quest guide
The first quest for NuCaloric takes you to the Columns POI on Perimeter. Columns can be found between Overflow and South Relay. The building sticks out in the area as it's covered with tick nests and ticks crawling around it, along with some UESC turrets. It also seems difficult to get inside since there's one door and you can't open it.
In order to get inside the tick-infested building, you will need to climb the ladder onto the roof and then use your melee attack on the hatch (pictured below). Once you do, you can drop down inside, interact with the door, and head inside to find the NuCal Employee ID you need.
Once inside, ticks will be there waiting for you. First you have to restore the power with the console next to the door, open the door, and defeat the ticks. The ID card is on a nearby table, and it should be marked on your UI.
When you have the ID card, you can then scan the nearby terminal, which is in the same building behind a door that you need to open. Some tick enemies will spawn inside the room, so just shoot their nests and them to survive the encounter.
You can then interact with the terminal, pictured below, to finish the quest.
Once completed, return to NuCaloric to get your rewards and continue questing.
