A recent Fortnite leak suggests that new skins from the popular anime series Jujutsu Kaisen may be coming to the game soon. According to the leak, this collaboration could take place as early as August 2025, in conjunction with other surprise collaborations.

Currently, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has been focusing on superheroes. Players can use special Hero Items to improve their chances of securing a victory royale.

The seasonal battle pass has introduced iconic DC superheroes, including Superman, Robin, and Cyborg. Additionally, the Fantastic Four Cup, centered around the upcoming MCU film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is set for July 23.

With Chapter 6 Season 3 expected to conclude on August 7, speculation is rising that the next season may return its focus to Jujutsu Kaisen, which has already featured three collaborations in the past. Noted Fortnite leaker HYPEX reported on Twitter that Fortnite might introduce additional Jujutsu Kaisen skins this August, potentially as part of Chapter 6 Season 4’s early collaborations.

The leak indicates there will be three cel-shaded skins and also new Jujutsu Kaisen-themed Mythic Weapons currently in testing. Furthermore, a “Jujutsu Kaisen x Blitz Week” event is anticipated, allowing players to engage in the high-speed Blitz Royale mode during the new skins’ release.

The leak hints at even more collaborations following the Jujutsu Kaisen skins, although no specific details have emerged yet. With several characters from Jujutsu Kaisen already appearing in Fortnite since the first wave launched in summer 2023, fans are eager to see new additions.

Many have voiced their desires on social media for characters like Suguru Geto, Choso, and Toge Inumaki to join the game.

A recent age rating from the ESRB for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 indicates a likely return of the contentious “Carry Forward” feature. This functionality allows players to transfer their cosmetic items, such as weapon skins and operator outfits, from one installment to the next.

Given that two Black Ops titles are launching in succession, it is not shocking that Activision would permit players to carry their purchases forward. However, some fans of Black Ops 6 have expressed their dissatisfaction with this feature.

Earlier in mid-2023, just ahead of the Modern Warfare 3 release, Activision introduced the Carry Forward feature, allowing players to move their cosmetic items from Modern Warfare 2 to its successor. Unfortunately, this feature was absent during the launch of Black Ops 6 in 2024, meaning that all cosmetic items were restricted to Modern Warfare 3.

Now that Black Ops 7 is on the way, fans are anxious to see if Activision will reinstate this feature, which could potentially allow outlandish operator skins to persist in the gameplay. The ESRB’s new rating for Black Ops 7 surprises no one, as it once again carries an M for mature label.

The accompanying description offers hints about the game’s content, noting gruesome hallucinations and the return of executions. Interestingly, it mentions a finishing move involving inhaling marijuana from a bong-like attachment to a rifle, a feature from Black Ops 6.

If this move is also available in Black Ops 7, it implies that Carry Forward may indeed be returning. However, the community appears divided on this decision.

Some players argue that Black Ops 6 introduced unrealistic and extravagant skins that don’t fit the serious tone of a military shooter. Others believe that allowing players to keep items they’ve purchased is a fair move.

“Carry forward should only be for Warzone,” stated one Twitter user, while another expressed, “If I paid for skins, I want them to carry forward.” Despite the consumer-friendly nature of Carry Forward, many fans are weary of the cartoonish aesthetics that dominate the franchise.

Recent rumors suggest that Activision has been reevaluating its approach to cosmetics, responding to criticism about the game appearing “stupid” due to bizarre collaborations. However, the successful financial results from these collaborations pose a challenge in shifting away from such designs.

Charlie Cox, the actor known for his role as Gustave in the acclaimed game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, recently expressed his desire to play the RPG himself. Surprisingly, Cox revealed that he hasn’t played a video game since the classic Super Mario 64. Even though he has an important role in Clair Obscur, he had yet to experience the game firsthand, but that is set to change. Since its release in April 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has garnered significant attention for its unique approach to turn-based combat mechanics, engaging level design, and a captivating storyline.

Developed by Sandfall over five years with a core team of about 30 developers, the game includes contributions from well-known voice actors such as Jennifer English, famous for her work in Baldur’s Gate 3, and, of course, Cox himself. Despite his involvement, he only recently expressed interest in playing through the game. During a Q&A session at GalaxyCon, Cox shared his excitement about Clair Obscur’s stunning visuals, recalling his visits to the studio and noting how beautiful he found the game. He admitted his astonishment at the advances in gaming graphics since his days of playing Super Mario 64.

“I need to get a console first,” he chuckled, highlighting that this classic game is the last video game he played. As various games compete for accolades as the best of 2025, including titles like Death Stranding 2, Clair Obscur is a strong contender. The director of Clair Obscur recently advised developers to create games they genuinely want to play, a philosophy that seems to resonate with the team at Sandfall. With Cox now eager to explore the game, fans will soon see the actor stepping into the world he helped bring to life.

On July 21, Twitch content creator and Vtuber Ironmouse officially announced her departure from Vshojo, a group she co-founded in 2020. In a YouTube video, Ironmouse revealed that Vshojo owes her a “significant amount of money” and has failed to remit over $500,000 in charitable donations to the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF).

This announcement comes amidst a backdrop of financial disputes and organizational management issues. Ironmouse began her streaming career in 2017.

Her diagnosis of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) has limited her mobility and aspirations of becoming an opera singer. To safeguard her identity, she adopted an avatar and persona inspired by Kizuna AI, a pioneer in the Virtual YouTuber space.

Since then, Ironmouse has gained a substantial following, boasting over 2.3 million Twitch followers and collaborating with other streamers to support the IDF. Following her resignation from Vshojo, Ironmouse emphasized in her video that her attorneys have advised her to hold back on further comments while legal matters unfold.

Notably, Vshojo allows its departing members to retain their names, intellectual property, and avatars, meaning Ironmouse can continue her journey as an independent Vtuber. She has encouraged fans to contribute to the IDF through Tiltify, pledging that all ad revenue from her announcement will be donated to charity.

Since Vshojo’s establishment, several members have joined and left. Ironmouse became the fourth former member to exit in 2025, joining others like Matara Kan, Geega, and fellow co-founder Zentreya, who left following various contract disputes.

While Vshojo has yet to respond to Ironmouse’s claims, the current talent pool still includes popular Vtubers such as Kson, Henya the Genius, and Projekt Melody. The future implications of Ironmouse’s departure and its impact on Vshojo remain to be seen.

Minecraft has recently unveiled a teaser for exciting crossover content that is set to enhance the gameplay experience. Players will soon have the opportunity to enjoy content inspired by a popular children’s movie that has just hit theaters. Over the years, Minecraft has engaged in numerous collaborations, allowing players to purchase and download extra content easily through the Minecraft Marketplace. This system has not only been well-received by players but has also attracted interest from various media projects eager to partner with the game.

The inclusion of mobs in Minecraft adds a vibrant touch to Mojang’s sandbox world, and many players believe that new crossover content could further enrich their interactions with these characters. The latest teaser hints at a collaboration with The Smurfs, specifically the recent film adaptation of the iconic comic and cartoon series that debuted in mid-July 2025. The teaser features an image of a Minecraft-themed Smurf and a playful caption stating, “The village is about to look different,” accompanied by mushroom and blue circle emojis. The inclusion of the Smurfs movie tag solidifies the anticipation surrounding this upcoming collaboration.

Since the announcement, the Minecraft community has buzzed with speculation due to the lack of concrete details from Mojang. Some players have expressed hopes that this new content will be available for both Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions. Others are curious about the nature of the content, with ideas ranging from simple skins to the presence of Smurf NPCs. One particularly enthusiastic player even suggested the ability to shrink down to Smurf size and explore a hidden Smurf village.

Although there is no official release date yet, players can expect this content to arrive on the Minecraft Marketplace in the near future. This partnership adds to the growing list of collaborations that Minecraft has enjoyed, such as the earlier introduction of How to Train Your Dragon content earlier in the same summer. For those less inclined towards The Smurfs, there are plenty of earlier releases to explore, while fans of the franchise are eagerly looking forward to this new addition.

Days Gone Remastered has recently rolled out its July patch, which addresses various general in-game issues. Released on April 25, 2025, for the PS5 alongside the Broken Road DLC on PC, this remastered version enhances the original 2019 PS4 game, boasting upgraded visuals and new gameplay modes such as the Horde Assault mode. Since its launch, Bend Studio has been dedicated to refining the game experience by implementing updates to fix bugs and optimize performance.

Over recent months, the studio has released five patches for Days Gone Remastered, with the newest update marking the first one in nearly a month. The latest update brings improvements specifically to the PS5 version, known as Patch 1.036.178, while an identical update, Patch 1.13, has been provided for PC players. The July update includes fixes for various game crashes, enhances streaming performance, and makes necessary translation updates.

This latest minor patch reflects the studio’s ongoing commitment to improving the game, especially notable given that Bend Studio faced significant changes to its workforce just weeks prior. Despite the challenges, including the layoffs affecting 30 percent of its staff, the development team is still focused on its upcoming projects while a vocal portion of its fanbase hopes for a sequel to Days Gone. Since the announcement of the remaster, interest in a follow-up to Deacon’s journey has grown substantially.

However, whether or not the franchise will see another installment remains uncertain, and fans may need to be patient for official news in the future.

Path of Exile 2 will host an exciting Boss Rush event at Gamescom 2025, providing attendees with a chance to win unique prizes. Developed by Grinding Gear Games, this sequel to the popular Path of Exile 1 entered early access in December 2024.

The initial feedback for Path of Exile 2 has mostly been positive, with players appreciating the complex skill system, improved graphics, and engaging gameplay. However, many players returned to the original game due to various issues, most notably the lack of endgame content.

Fortunately, the game’s four-month league cycle offers opportunities for improvement and growth. In a recent announcement on the official Path of Exile 2 forum, Grinding Gear Games revealed details about the Boss Rush event taking place in Cologne, Germany, from August 20 to 24, at Hall 6.1 C071/A070.

Participants will select from seven pre-made characters with set stats, skills, and equipment, aiming to defeat as many of the 15 bosses as possible within a 20-minute time frame. The performance of each player could result in winning exclusive prizes available only at the event.

Moreover, GGG is confident that very few players will overcome all 15 bosses, not just because of the challenges presented, but also due to the introduction of many brand-new bosses that require players to grasp unfamiliar mechanics. The difficulty level is expected to match or even exceed that of the toughest pinnacle bosses in the game.

A live leaderboard will showcase the top performers throughout the event. Since participants will not play their own characters, utilizing the best endgame builds to gain an advantage won’t be possible.

This format focuses on testing participants’ true skill and adaptability. While fan response to the event has been overwhelmingly positive, many have noted the timing with the upcoming league release on August 29.

Observers suggest that GGG aims to leverage the marketing momentum from Gamescom to attract more players to the new league.

The collaboration between Nintendo and LEGO continues to captivate fans, and anticipation is building for the new Game Boy LEGO set. This excitement is fueled by rumors suggesting that The Legend of Zelda will feature in this upcoming release. Previous LEGO and Nintendo collaborations have brought beloved franchises like Super Mario Bros. and Animal Crossing into the spotlight, prompting fans to hope for the inclusion of The Legend of Zelda in this new offering. The LEGO Game Boy set was first announced in January 2025 and aims to recreate the classic handheld gaming experience using building blocks.

This launch comes after the success of the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System set, which included a LEGO television featuring Super Mario Bros. enthusiasts are now speculating whether another iconic game could be part of the Game Boy set, and early leaks seem to provide an answer. Recent leaks indicate details such as the release date, retail price, and piece count for the Game Boy set. According to the leaker lego_minecraft_goat, this set may feature The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, a title released in 1993 that was one of the Game Boy’s standout games. While some fans hoped for other classic titles like Pokémon Red or Tetris, many are celebrating the potential inclusion of Link’s Awakening.

However, it is important to approach these rumors cautiously, as even reliable sources can be mistaken. The only confirmed detail thus far is a planned release in October 2025. Alongside the Game Boy set, rumors of additional LEGO video game collaborations are surfacing. There are whispers of more Super Mario offerings, and while Pokémon hasn’t yet crossed into this LEGO-Nintendo partnership, 2026 will see the release of official LEGO Pokémon sets.

As fans eagerly await the launch of the Game Boy set, excitement remains high for future gaming-themed LEGO kits, continuing the trend that has garnered both audience acclaim and critical praise.
