How Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Arrived In Street Fighter 6

One of the most exciting announcements of Summer Game Fest's 2026 live show arrived near the end of the stage presentation when Capcom announced its fourth year of downloadable fighters for Street Fighter 6. After showing off Yasmine, Arjun, and Bosch, we learned that the fourth character is Tifa, the extremely popular Final Fantasy VII party member. While Tifa isn't the first crossover character to appear in the Street Fighter franchise, s

Players Think Kingdom Hearts’ New Art Is AI-Generated

Yesterday's Nintendo Direct certainly got Kingdom Hearts players talking--but it's not the kind of discourse Square Enix was probably hoping for after unveiling a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and announcing that native versions of the entire Kingdom Hearts trilogy are coming to Switch 2 on October 8. Instead, eagle-eyed players are focused on what appears to be AI-generated key art, which Square Enix shared on X shortly after the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts Collection [I-III] As point

Gears Of War: E-Day Modernizes Movement Without Going Full Parkour

Popping Locust heads and active reloading has never looked better than in Gears of War: E-Day, but this prequel is also making some big changes to how you'll move through the campaign. Movement has received a massive overhaul in the prequel, as Marcus Fenix and the rest of his squad can get around all manner of obstacles to reposition themselves while in combat. The game technically has a jump button for getting over larger obstacles like display cabinets, but don't expect Gears of War: E-Day t

Fable’s 1,000 Romance Options Sounds Like The Ultimate Challenge For Completionists

Fable isn't just offering a grand fantasy adventure for players to embark on, but also a chance to catch their breath between quests, thanks to a world populated with hundreds of distinct non-playable characters. Each NPC has a unique personality and goals, and according to Playground Games, each one can be romanced. In fact, it's possible to marry every single one--just not all at once, as Fable has a monogamous approach to love. "There are over 1,000 handcrafted NPCs in the game,

Fable Lets You Live A Second Life, Not Just Save The World

Fable is now arriving in February 2027, but with some extra months to fine-tune the fantasy adventure, Playground Games looks set to release an impressive entry in the classic franchise. Older Fable games from Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios had lofty ambitions, but with Playground at the helm, the new title is taking the series in an unexpected direction: life-sims. During Summer Game Fest, GameSpot got a closer look at Fable behind closed doors, with the game's developers showing off jus

Gears Of War: E-Day Is Bigger, Bloodier, And More Ambitious Than We Expected

Gears of War: E-Day made a big splash during the Xbox Games Showcase, as The Coalition dropped an action-packed preview on audiences. Not only is Gears looking better than ever, thanks to Unreal Engine 5 powering it, but several design choices are also adding up to make the game play better through fluid movement mechanics and levels that'll give you opportunities to put your skills to the test. GameSpot had the opportunity to take a closer look at the game and sit down with The Coalition's

We Played Halo: Campaign Evolved, And The Old Remade Missions Are Pretty “Meh”

GameSpot is back from Summer Game Fest, and one of highly anticipated upcoming games we got to try out is Halo: Campaign Evolved. The remake of the 2001 original that's releasing this July for the game's 25th anniversary, the game promises a faithful update to the classic FPS that fans know and love. At SGF, GameSpot senior video producer Jean-Luc Seipke played two of the re-made missions, Assault on the Control Room and The Silent Cartographer. Their verdict? Meh. "I think ever

Fable Doesn’t Use Arc Raiders-Style Text-To-Speech AI For Its 1,000+ Voiced NPCs

The Fable reboot has more than 1,000 NPCs that players can interact with. Given this scale, and the fact that they all speak, people are naturally wondering how developer Playground was able to pull this off, and if some kind of artificial intelligence system was used. During a recent group Q&A attended by GameSpot at Summer Game Fest, Playground confirmed that there is "no generation involved in it" after being asked if the studio used an Arc Raiders-style text-to-speech AI system.

Gears of War: E-Day Happened Because Starting Over Sounded More Fun Than Gears 6

Gears of War: E-Day will once again see fan-favorite characters like Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago headline the next game in the franchise, but what about that unresolved cliffhanger from Gears 5? Will we ever see those lingering plot threads addressed? Developer The Coalition isn't spilling the beans on whether Kait Diaz and her team will be back in action, but the studio has revealed why it chose to craft a prequel instead of a sequel. Speaking to GameSpot, studio creative di

Bloober Team Says It’s Humbled By The “Many Corpses” In The Horror Multiplayer Genre

The realm of asymmetrical horror multiplayer games grows a little bigger with Saw: Genesis, Bloober Team and Anshar Studios' co-developed 3v1 game based on Lionsgate's Saw franchise. I got to sit in on a roughly 30-minute hands-off preview of the game at Summer Game Fest 2026, and I asked the team about what it's like entering this crowded space, where it seems like Hollywood is seeing dollar signs and throwing its licenses at various teams, then leaving some game studios to pick up the pie

Xbox's Matt Booty Talks Bringing Back Exclusivity, Lessons Learned, And The Future Of Xbox

The Xbox brand is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, a key theme of its summer showcase. However, the brand has not exactly had a ton to celebrate lately. Following a huge splash with the original Xbox, a dominant generation with the Xbox 360, and a strong turnaround during the Xbox One era, the Xbox Series X/S have struggled to find an audience. Despite a spending spree that saw the platform acquire major publishers like Bethesda
