Overwatch 2 introduces its newest support hero, Wuyang, for trial between August 14 and August 18, 2025. Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that players will get their first hands-on experience with the hero during this limited test period. To build anticipation, a dedicated gameplay trailer is set to drop on August 13, 2025, offering an early look at Wuyang's unique abilities and role within the team-based shooter. Fans can also tune into a developer livestream on August 14 for behind-the-scenes insights and design commentary directly from the team. These events are part of Blizzard's broader push to keep the Overwatch 2 roster fresh and balanced.
As revealed in Game Rant's coverage of the Wuyang trial dates, Wuyang's skill set is expected to expand support strategies in competitive play. Blizzard has been steadily introducing new heroes to diversify gameplay, and Wuyang's arrival follows this trend. Players eager to prepare can revisit the original Overwatch 2 launch trailer to refresh their understanding of the game's evolving hero dynamics. Social media has already lit up with discussion, thanks to a PlayOverwatch tweet teasing Wuyang's abilities and lore. For those ready to test their skills, these trial days will be the perfect chance to determine if Wuyang earns a permanent spot in your go-to team composition.
Konami's highly anticipated multiplayer mode for Metal Gear Solid Delta, titled Fox Hunt, is set for release in Fall 2025. The announcement was made during a Konami Press Start event, where the studio revealed the first extended look at the competitive online experience. While the exact release date remains under wraps, the Fall 2025 window gives fans a clear timeframe to anticipate. Fox Hunt promises to blend stealth mechanics with intense tactical objectives, staying true to the espionage-heavy roots of the franchise while introducing modern multiplayer pacing.
A video preview from VGC showcases how players will navigate dense jungle environments and urban battlegrounds in teams, working to outwit and outmaneuver opponents. The mode appears to take inspiration from classic Metal Gear multiplayer experiences, while updating movement, animations, and gadgets for next-gen consoles. For those who haven't caught the announcement, Konami has shared the Fox Hunt extended look video, which includes gameplay footage, character loadout previews, and commentary from the developers. As someone who has been immersed in gaming culture for decades, I can see Fox Hunt becoming a key reason players stick with Metal Gear Solid Delta well beyond its single-player campaign.
Tencent is facing allegations of copying Horizon's design elements in their upcoming game, Light of Motiram, prompting an active lawsuit from Sony. According to court filings, Sony claims that Tencent first approached them during the 2024 Game Developer Conference, seeking permission to develop a Horizon-like title. Sony reportedly declined the request, but Light of Motiram continued development regardless. The controversy deepened when Tencent allegedly altered the game's Steam page assets after the lawsuit was filedโchanges that many view as an attempt to hide similarities between the two titles.
IGN's report on Tencent's quiet asset changes highlights that the alterations came swiftly after legal action began, removing certain screenshots and promotional art. Light of Motiram's art style, environments, and even mechanical designs had drawn comparisons to the PlayStation exclusive Horizon Forbidden West. While Tencent has yet to issue a detailed public statement, the case raises broader questions about creative ownership, intellectual property, and how studios navigate inspiration versus imitation in the competitive gaming market. Until a ruling is made or a settlement reached, this legal standoff will likely remain one of the most talked-about disputes in 2025's gaming industry.
