Fortnite Chapter 7 leak confirmed, Stalker 2 update inbound, Wolverine dev responds
A Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 leak has been confirmed as genuine after a Sonic comic seemingly corroborated its details, with an in-game Unstable Event pointing in the same direction. The convergence of two independent sources all but removes any doubt about what Epic Games has planned for the battle royale's next major chapter.
GSC Game World's Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is getting a substantial 2.0 update next week, bringing functional fog, a suite of A-Life improvements, and more — a meaningful milestone for a game that has been steadily patched since launch. Slay the Spire 2, by contrast, is slowing its update cadence, but developer Mega Crit says the pause is purposeful, with new modes, an alternate Act 2, and a new character in the works.
Insomniac Games has responded to what it called unprecedented criticism surrounding Wolverine on PS5, describing the pressure as a relentless onslaught. The Dispatch developer's new website is teasing future projects, adding intrigue given that Mass Effect veterans have separately been reported as channeling the RPG's principles into a new game described as Dispatch meets The X-Files. Xbox Game Pass also confirmed four new games arriving in September 2026.
