Resident Evil Requiem was hacked by well-known hacker voices38 just a month after its release, marking Denovo's first failure of 2026.

Continued controversies around Denovo

Debate about Denovo's DRM has been going on for a long time.

Despite reports of its negative impact on game performance, titles such as Crimson Desert, Pragmata, and Resident Evil Requiem continue to feature this system.

The developers see it as a solution to reduce theft; But many players have experienced frame drops and slowness caused by it.

A different approach voices38

It is usually very difficult to crack Denovo games without using Hypervisor, but voices38 has managed to bypass this lock with a classic and low-risk method.

This is despite the fact that the Hypervisor was so widespread that Denovo had to design anti-it systems.

Publish the cracked version

voices38 announced on Reddit that the cracked version is now released and the name of this game is placed next to Doom: The Dark Ages; A short list of works that, despite Denovo, soon succumbed to crackers.

It is noteworthy that the cracking process took less than two weeks.

It seems that Ubisoft plans to unveil the long-awaited remake of Assassin's Creed Black Flag on April 16 (April 27); A matter that has been confirmed by several reliable whistleblowers.

Possible synchronization with State of Play

After reports of a new State of Play being held on the same date, speculation has been rife about Ubisoft's presence at the event.

Apparently, the company wants to use this opportunity to introduce a remastered version of Black Flag.

Rumor source: ResetEra

This news was first reported by whistleblower BlackBate on the ResetEra forum.

He has claimed that the initial reveal will take place on April 16, and that Ubisoft will hold a more detailed event for the remake later in the month.

According to him, the interval between the official unveiling and the release of the game will not be very long.

Confirmed by several reliable sources

Well-known whistleblowers like Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson and NateTheHate have also confirmed the claims.

Since there were earlier rumors about the focus of the new State of Play on third-party games, the possibility of Ubisoft's presence in this program has been strengthened even more.

The Forza Horizon 6 game returns this time with the densest and most vertical map in the series' history; A map that spans from the snowy peaks of the Alps in the north to bustling Tokyo in the south.

A journey from the Alps to the heart of Tokyo

The revealed map has an impressive environmental variety; From high passes to city streets.

Mountain passes will be the venue for new Togue competitions, and famous areas such as Haruna and Bandai Azuma will offer the opportunity to drive on twisty tracks.

Special routes for high-speed night tours

One of the most attractive sections is the C1 Inner Circular Route; A 14.8 km highway that is great for night street racing.

On the other hand, the short but spectacular Ginkgo Avenue with 140 golden ginkgo trees is more suitable for enjoying the atmosphere of Japan.

The densest map in franchise history

Playground Games has described this world as the "most vertical and densest" map in the series.

If you're looking for a fresh open-world world to drive around for hours on end, Forza Horizon 6 is sure to be one of the most exciting options this year.

Release time

Official release for Xbox Series X/S and PC: May 29

Early access for the Premium Edition version: May 25

Release for PlayStation 5: Late year

Microsoft accompanied the release of Starfield on PlayStation 5 with a massive advertising campaign and the release of a major update that adds new layers to the role-playing masterpiece.

The game initially got off to a great start on the PlayStation Store, even topping the pre-order chart ahead of the exclusive Saros game.

Unexpected outcome: After the initial release in 2023, which was not so successful, Microsoft hoped that the PS5 version could revive Starfield.

However, this game did not even make it to the top 10 best-selling games list on the first day of its release.

According to published reports, the PS5 version of Starfield was the 16th best-selling game on the PlayStation Store on the day of its release.

This title could not make it to the top 15 games, while the names of 5 free games are higher than this role-playing game.

Reasons for poor performance: One of the main reasons for this drop in sales is the massive discounts on PSN, which made cheaper games outsell Starfield.

Titles like NBA 2K26, Call of Duty Black Ops 7, EA Sports FC 26, GTA 5, Arc Raiders, and EA Sports Madden NFL 26 all rank higher than Bethesda's due to the price cuts.

In addition, competition from new games has also hurt Starfield's sales; So that the Crimson Desert and MLB The Show 26 titles have been able to attract the attention of the audience upon the arrival of this game to PlayStation 5.

With the PlayStation version of Starfield coming with a new story expansion pack and fresh content, Microsoft was expected to do better for the title.

According to the reports published by Insider Gaming website, the development of the awaited game Star Wars Eclipse, more than 4 years after its introduction, is still progressing at a very low speed.

When was the last fictional work of Quantic Dream?

It may be hard to believe, but Quantic Dream's last major story-driven game, Detroit: Become Human, was released in 2018.

They announced Star Wars Eclipse in December 2021, but so far very little information has been released about the game and it seems that the development process is not going as expected.

Lagging Development Website Insider Gaming reported that the game's development process has been "extremely slow".

A well-informed source said that "very little progress has been made in recent months."

Another source reported in December that "the game, at this point, is still years away from completion."

This does not necessarily mean that nothing has been done; A "good chunk" of the game is said to be complete.

But in the gaming industry, a lot of work goes into the finishing touches, and Quantic Dream seems to be lagging behind.

Dependency on another game While the company has talked about expanding its team, NetEase Games (the main investor) refuses.

Apparently, there are hopes that revenue from the competitive multiplayer game Spellcasters Chronicles launched on Steam will help.

At this point, the long-term vision of the project is driven less by creative ability and more by financial feasibility.

If Spellcasters fails commercially, NetEase is expected to reconsider its commitment to the studio and stop further investment.

The savior that didn't come Unfortunately, with a peak of 888 concurrent players on Steam and only 86 in the last 24 hours, it looks like Spellcasters won't be the savior that Quantic Dream was hoping for.

Will Star Wars Eclipse ever reach players?

State of Decay 3 has been quietly under development for years.

Although the release date has not yet been determined, new information suggests that the long wait of fans will not be in vain.

Shifting towards a more serious direction Undead Labs head Philip Holt has finally confirmed that State of Decay 3 is looking for a more serious and darker atmosphere than the previous versions.

He openly admitted that the second version had a lot of "superficial and joke-oriented" elements that perhaps detracted from the depth of the experience.

Every encounter with a zombie could be the last. In an interview with the Sunny Games YouTube channel, Philip stated that the studio is moving into a "serious but hopeful" space; A space where every encounter with zombies could be your last fight.

This means no more light moments and comedy games and players should prepare themselves for a tough and tense experience.

Choices with Deeper Consequences State of Decay 3 also places a special emphasis on player choices, and these choices will have deeper and more meaningful consequences than before.

Your decisions will no longer be merely influential; Rather, the fate of the entire community of survivors will be shaped by their hands.

A rougher and rougher world The game world should look more realistic, rougher and rougher than the previous two versions.

The NPC characters are set to be more memorable and the various zombie species have been redesigned to be more menacing and challenging than ever.

Working directly with fans Undead Labs has been working with a secret council of fans for over a year to get direct feedback and develop the game accordingly.

This means that the upcoming alpha tests will not be the first encounter of this team with the players.

The balance between single player and multiplayer. In the multiplayer section, the difficulty of the game is adjusted dynamically and according to the process of experience.

Philip emphasizes that Undead Labs hasn't forgotten about single-player either.

The biggest release in the series' history, State of Decay 3 looks set to combine the best features of the previous two versions, with long-term support already in the pipeline.

After the release of the game, we can also expect a roadmap of future content and updates.

Considering that the third version's team is six times bigger than the first version's team, this issue is not far from expected.

Rob Carr, a former Rockstar sound design engineer, has predicted in an interesting statement that the GTA 6 development team may have completely rebuilt the RAGE graphics engine.

Complete renovation or surprise?

Former Rockstar senior developer Rob Carr told Kiwi Talks:

“I don't know much at this point, other than the fact that given the long development time, the RAGE engine has probably been completely rebuilt.

That's all I can say for sure.

"I'd be really surprised if they didn't, because the technology architecture has advanced significantly since GTA 5."

Expanding on successful mechanics Rob Carr also emphasized that Rockstar will likely expand on some of GTA 5's successful mechanics and ideas in the new version.

He pointed to examples such as the Dead Eye feature in previous Rockstar titles and the use of a similar style in GTA 5.

Hot Rumors About New Technologies Along with these claims, a former Rockstar programmer claimed to have worked on a "next-generation glass-breaking system."

There are also rumors of realistic weather and accurate simulation of water movement, which shows the impressive technical advances of this rebuilt engine.

GTA 6 will be released on November 19, 2026 (November 28, 1405) for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Recently, a reliable leaker has made an interesting claim: the next-generation PlayStation console is designed in such a way that its final price will be cheaper than the PS5 Pro model.

This news is published while Sony has recently increased the price of its 9th generation consoles and the PS5 Pro model has become the most expensive console in the history of PlayStation with a price tag of $900.

Is now the time to buy a PS5 Pro?

Considering the release of highly anticipated games such as GTA 6 in the not too distant future, this price increase has given a big shock to the user community.

Some consumers have turned to the PS5 Pro to escape the new prices.

However, one of the prominent whistleblowers in the field of hardware warns against this.

He believes that considering the very high cost and the not so long distance until the introduction of the next generation, buying this console for new users is not logical at all.

Seeking to attract the previous generation of users of the Moore's Law is Dead YouTube channel, Sony addressed the PlayStation 6 in its latest video and emphasized that Sony is already planning the transition from the 9th generation to the 10th generation.

According to him, Sony's main goal in the next generation is to encourage PlayStation 4 and 5 owners to migrate to the new hardware.

He also noted that the recent price changes of Sony's 9th generation consoles were not far from expectations.

A smaller, cheaper console The leaker says people who haven't bought a PS5 or PS5 Pro yet are better off waiting until the next-gen PlayStation console comes out.

According to the leaked information, the new generation of Sony consoles are designed with a focus on low production cost and high productivity.

He also claims that Sony's next-generation console will have smaller dimensions compared to the PS5 release version.

The die shrink process in the PlayStation 6's SoC, among other factors, will lead to a lower price compared to the PS5 Pro.

This claim is made while some analysts predicted the possible price of PlayStation 6 to be around $1,000.

Can Sony surprise us?

Ten years have passed since the last original version of the Uncharted series; But enthusiasts still hope.

Considering that Naughty Dog's recent output is limited to The Last of Us series, many believe that now is the time for this studio to return to its action-adventure roots.

Sean Skeig; The man who could be Uncharted's savior?

Shaun Escayg, who previously directed Uncharted: The Lost Legacy at Naughty Dog, posted a picture of Fort George in Trinidad in his latest Instagram post.

This spectacular sight is undeniably reminiscent of the legendary locations and adventures of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series.

This similarity has caused the comments of this post to be full of exciting speculations about this developer working on another project from the Uncharted series for Naughty Dog.

Revealing a hot secret is more interesting that a whistleblower previously revealed that Sean Skegg has started directing a project at Nutty Dog since 1401 (2023).

With the studio said to be working on more than one solo project right now, hopes for Uncharted's return are higher than ever.

Naughty Dog is currently working hard on Intergalactic, and not much is known about the studio's other plans.

However, this new image has kept the flame of hope burning in the hearts of fans.
