Gearbox finally wakes up with the first big Borderlands 4 update of the year and a roadmap, yet I’m still worried for its future

Gearbox announced a significant update for Borderlands 4 set for 2026, which includes enhanced loot drops in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, a rework of Harlowe's Zero-Point action skill, and the addition of a photo mode. The update integrates the Inertia augment into Harlowe's skill, boosts slam damage and status effects, and generates mini projectiles with successful attacks. Boss-related loot drops will increase with UVHM tiers, and a new setting to disable mouse smoothing has been added. A free update will introduce ultra-rare Pearlescent gear, and the first major story DLC, "Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned," is anticipated. Future content will include a second raid boss, a takedown, and three additional Bounty Packs. Gearbox aims to improve performance and stability while addressing character viability. Concerns remain about the game's future and the effectiveness of limited-time events.

Arc Raiders players are already impatient for more content. Here’s 8 things we think the game could do to expand

In the three weeks since its launch, 39% of Arc Raiders players have collected loot exceeding 1 million in value, and 16.5% have navigated the elevator and subway back to Speranza over 100 times. The game is receiving positive engagement, with players experimenting with mechanics against the Arc. A winter-themed snowfall map and new quests are planned for December. Suggested expansions include permanent unlocks for blueprints, an additional skill point above the current level cap, clearer Expedition Project information, Arc hacking, buildable temporary structures, spontaneous squad formation, handheld detectors for resources, friendly Arc companions, surveillance devices, and a fishing system. A photography system could allow players to capture visuals and create quests around photographing Arc. Increasing the variety and challenge of encounters, particularly with the Shredder, is recommended. Additionally, a dedicated co-op PvE mode with various gameplay formats and custom game types could enhance the player experience.

Promising Genshin Impact rival makes huge changes for new beta, but the photo mode excites me more than its extra region

Arknights Endfield will adopt a more dynamic action-oriented gameplay style, inspired by games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves. A second beta phase, called Best Test 2, will feature a reworked storyline, new cutscenes, and a new region named Wuling. The beta will introduce nine new characters, including three six-star characters: Ardelia, Late Rite, and Pogranichnik. The game will support cross-platform play and include a Photo Mode. The beta starts on November 28, and there will be a server wipe, meaning no progress will carry over to the final release. Players can participate by completing a survey to demonstrate their interest. An updated voice cast list and in-game bonus codes will also be available.
