News - Fortnite's Next Gaming Crossover Is Super Meat Boy
It looks like Super Meat Boy is coming to Fortnite soon, though we don't yet really know what that means, exactly. The announcement came via the Epic Games Store Twitter account, which posted three uncooked meat emojis alongside a picture of the Super Meat Boy 3D key art with the Fortnite logo added.
Since the announcement came from the EGS Twitter rather than Fortnite's own, that likely means this collaboration is part of Epic's new initiative to encourage sales on its storefront by bundling Fortnite cosmetics with purchases. In this case, the collab is with the upcoming Super Meat Boy 3D, which is scheduled for release in 2026 but doesn't have a release date yet.
The question here, then, is about what kind of Fortnite cosmetics this collab might include--since Super Meat Boy is a cube of meat, some adjustments would be required to make him a skin. It would be easier to make him a sidekick, like SpongeBob, or a back bling, like Isaac from The Binding of Isaac.

News - The Inexplicable Features Of Peak, Explained
Peak was such a breakout hit that Aggro Crab’s Game Developers Conference talk was packed 30 minutes before it was scheduled to begin. Aggro Crab studio head Nick Kaman took that time to answer questions from a crowd eager to learn more about the biggest friendslop game of 2026.
One of the first things brought up was, why BBNO$? The artist behind Lalala and edamame made an unexpected appearance on the base of the mountain for a concert last year.
"We wanted to have a parody of a Fortnite concert, but what if it was bad?" Kaman said jokingly.

News - From Zelda-Like Climbing To Multiple Worlds: The Cut Content Of Ghost Of Yotei
Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Yotei is already an ambitious open-world adventure that builds on its predecessor in several ways, but the team had a number of other ideas that never made the final game. At GDC, the studio’s two creative directors discussed both the features that made it into the game and some ambitious concepts that didn’t.
From mechanics that would have let players climb anywhere to dual-timelines and a fully diegetic map system, Ghost of Yotei began as a game full of possibilities. Some ideas proved too large to implement fully, but they still influenced the final experience, leaving traces of that ambition in the game’s narrative and design.
One of the most ambitious features was the ability to switch between young and old Atsu at any point in the game. This would have created two versions of the world simultaneously, meaning the entire map would need to have versions in spring and winter.
News - The Witcher 4, Control Resonant, And More Will Use Nvidia's Ray Tracing Enhan
Nvidia has begun detailing some of the next graphical enhancements you can expect to start seeing in upcoming games, with a particular focus on improving the performance and fidelity of path tracing in large open-world adventures.
Path tracing is the next evolution of traditional ray tracing, introducing better global illumination and lighting to games that support it. It's also incredibly taxing on hardware, and especially so in worlds where there's a lot of fine, densely-packed detail in an environment. In its showcase, Nvidia specifically pointed out large forests or intricate architecture has unique challenges for path tracing, which is where its new Mega Geometry system comes into play.
