I’m sad, I’m angry, I’m interested: Destiny’s final cutscenes are a painful end to a new saga cut short

Destiny 2's latest update, Monuments of Triumph, concludes the decade-long Light and Darkness saga with The Final Shape and introduces a new narrative arc called the Fate saga, starting with The Edge of Fate. This update features hidden cutscenes that provide insights into the characters' journeys and the future of the game. One cutscene highlights Zavala reflecting on his journey and entrusting the future to Ikora, while the second cutscene presents Lodi in the Dark Forest, hinting at a confrontation between Dark and Light and introducing the Winnower, an extradimensional god. The update showcases improved cinematic quality and leaves players with a mix of intrigue and sadness, suggesting potential for future storytelling in the Destiny universe.

So long suckers! I am leaving to drink heavily and repair cheap cars in Poland

Josh Wolens has transitioned to a new life as a car mechanic near Białystok, where he enjoys vodka. He found inspiration in a game called Cheap Car Repair, which simulates car repair in a Polish village during the '90s. The game involves cutting corners in repairs, pocketing air filters, listening to Slavic pop music, and consuming vodka. It offers a comedic yet meditative experience, similar to Powerwash Simulator, focusing on the process of car restoration. A demo of Cheap Car Repair is available on Steam.

Last Flag studio lays off half its employees as it puts ‘the future of the game in the hands of our players’

The CTF shooter game Last Flag was co-founded by Mac and Dan Reynolds, members of the band Imagine Dragons. In 2025, Tyler Wilde from PC Gamer reviewed the game positively. Despite its gameplay, Last Flag struggled to build a player base, leading Night Street Games to announce a free weekend initiative in April, which was later retracted due to low player numbers. The studio's CEO, Mac Reynolds, confirmed a workforce reduction, with about a dozen employees leaving, leaving only 13 team members. Night Street Games plans to support laid-off employees and will continue to release new content for Last Flag, including characters, maps, and custom lobbies. The remaining developers are looking forward to new projects.

Controversial racer Lego 2K Drive is getting delisted soon, with its servers set to be shutdown in 2027

Lego 2K Drive is set to be delisted on May 19, 2026, three years after its launch. The multiplayer features will become inactive on May 31, 2027, due to the expiration of vehicle licenses and possibly insufficient revenue. The game will still allow single-player access after the shutdown. The game was well-received for its open-world racing and vehicle customization but faced criticism for its monetization strategy.
