Soulbound Turns Minecraft Into A Deltarune-Style RPG

Minecraft's combat mechanics have been considered monotonous, leading players to seek mods for a more dynamic experience. The mod Soulbound, launched by Pixelcite about seven months ago and recently updated to version 2.0, has gained popularity with 140,000 downloads on Modrinth. Soulbound transforms Minecraft into a turn-based RPG inspired by Undertale and Deltarune, allowing players to create characters with customizable stats and combat styles. The mod features original bullet-hell attack patterns and procedurally generated dark worlds that reflect themes from Deltarune. Soulbound was developed without the use of generative AI, as confirmed by moderators on its Discord server.

I might finally have gone too far with a GTA 5 mod that imports most of Doom 2

A mod named Doom 2 in GTA 5 Hell On Earth (D2IGTA5HOE) merges elements of Doom 2 with Grand Theft Auto 5, allowing players to switch from third-person to first-person perspective using the F9 key. Players can engage in combat in Los Santos with weapons from the Doom franchise, such as a minigun and BFG, while activating Hell On Earth mode with the F10 key introduces Doom 2 enemies. The gameplay features include battling demons and armed furries, with additional features like flossing and Superman mode also triggered by the F10 key, which can clutter the screen.

Deadlock is the king of MOBA character designs, and it’s all thanks to Valve’s embrace of New Yorkyness

In Valve’s MOBA, Deadlock, players explore The Cursed Apple, an urban setting inspired by New York City. The game features new characters that embody the essence of city life, including Solomon, an elderly chess player, Baba, a whimsical grandmother, and the Rat King, who commands rats. Other characters include a reimagined Chinese immigrant construction worker as Sun Wukong, Vyper, a flirtatious criminal, and Seven, a pulp villain with a softer side. Deadlock distinguishes itself with character depth, contrasting with typical MOBA heroes. The game has over 100 unique names for the Rat King's rats and more than 10,000 voice lines. Recent reports indicate a peak in concurrent players, reflecting its growing popularity. The focus on New York archetypes opens possibilities for future characters, such as a ghost journalist or a witch with a hot dog cart.

AnyPS5 Reaches PS5 Game Menu on PC, No Emulator [2026]

A developer named boykopovar has created an open-source tool called AnyPS5 on GitHub, which aims to convert PlayStation 5 games to run natively on Windows and Linux systems. AnyPS5 can load a PS5 game's logo and reach its main menu on PC hardware but crashes before the menu becomes interactive. The tool uses a method called relinking, which reformats PS5 executables into native Windows or Linux files and provides replacement libraries to mimic PS5 system libraries. There is currently no public build available, and the developer has stated that a public release will only occur after a successful game launch. Sony has not made any public statements or taken legal action regarding AnyPS5. The project operates under the GPL-2.0 license, but the legal implications of using it with actual PS5 games remain unclear. Historical trends suggest that console emulation projects typically take years to mature, but AnyPS5's shared architecture with PCs may offer a potential shortcut.

Call of Duty ‘cosmetic toggle’ will cleanse Warzone of its Party City aesthetic

Warzone has introduced a "cosmetic toggle" that allows players to disable legacy character skins at a client level, specifically for Warzone, while Modern Warfare 4 will not carry over any cosmetics from previous titles. This feature aims to address concerns about mismatched crossover skins and create a more cohesive gaming experience. The toggle is a response to previous commitments to avoid old skins, although collaborations have complicated this effort. Its effectiveness may diminish with the introduction of new characters in future seasons, and its future depends on Infinity Ward's commitment to aesthetic integrity and potential expansions of the toggle.
