Two years later, not much has changed. AI was still a major focus of this year's GDC; major players like Nvidia and Google made their presence known throughout the halls of the Moscone Center. With well-attended panels on the subject and tons of startups pushing new tools on the show floor, it was undeniable that the generative AI craze has yet to loosen its grip on a vulnerable gaming industry in need of change. What was less clear, though, is how exactly the tech will shape game development. A hodgepodge showcase where no one seemed to have the same vision of the future showed why the topic of generative AI in gaming is so difficult to understand — and why so many developers say they're avoiding the mess altogether. source https://www.polygon.com/generative-ai-gdc-2026/

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition was supposed to be the Nintendo Switch 2’s killer app. Announced last year alongside the console’s full reveal, it looked like FromSoftware’s open-world action RPG was poised to be the game that showed us how powerful the new console was. That didn’t quite pan out. After a shaky demo at Gamescom in 2025 , FromSoftware delayed the port , then went close to radio silent on both it and its Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods . The six months of unsettling quiet left fans plenty of open space to plant red flags. source https://www.polygon.com/elden-ring-switch-2-preview/

If you’re a Magic: The Gathering fan who loves playing commander, then you know that the most annoying part of building a new deck is the lands. Somehow, even in a 100-card singleton format, there’s never enough room for all the cool spells you want to include, plus the necessary lands to make the deck work. Even worse, all the best lands are absurdly expensive. source https://www.polygon.com/magic-mtg-tmnt-commander-deck-fixes-precon/

Until that death, the first two-thirds of 10 Cloverfield Lane are a tense thriller where Michelle (and the viewer) tries like hell to figure out whether Goodman is lying or telling the truth. This is only further complicated by how strange and temperamental Howard acts towards Michelle, who he creepily treats as a surrogate daughter. Then again, the film’s title provides an unsubtle clue as to what may be happening above ground. source https://www.polygon.com/10-cloverfield-lane-screenwriters-interview-10th-anniversary/
