Key Takeaways

📺 Hades 3 is not confirmed yet

Hades 3 is not confirmed yet, despite the massive success of the roguelike series. In a recent interview with GamesRadar, the Director of Supergiant Games explained that the team's complete attention is locked on Hades 2, which has just left early access. The studio wants to ensure the sequel reaches its full potential before any discussion of another installment can even begin. For players eager for more, this statement makes clear that the franchise's immediate future lies in fine-tuning the second chapter rather than laying groundwork for a third.


The excitement for the sequel is already considerable, fueled by trailers such as the official Hades 2 release date reveal shown during a Nintendo Direct. As someone who has spent countless hours navigating dungeons and experimenting with builds in action RPGs, I can say that the promise of refined mechanics and expanded lore makes this sequel particularly enticing. If Hades 3 ever materializes, it will be because Hades 2 created such a groundswell of support that Supergiant could not ignore it.

📺 The Witcher 3 next patch delayed until 2026

The Witcher 3 next patch is delayed until 2026, extending the game's already remarkable lifespan more than a decade after its original release. According to a report from IGN, CD Projekt Red originally hoped to deliver what they described as "one more patch" in 2025. However, unforeseen development challenges have shifted the update into the following year. For players, this means additional waiting before the celebrated RPG receives its final round of fixes and enhancements.


This delay does not dampen enthusiasm for the series. The Witcher 3 continues to captivate audiences with its storytelling, a legacy showcased in the haunting Killing Monsters cinematic trailer. Meanwhile, the franchise's future is already unfolding, with the first look at The Witcher 4 revealed in a Game Awards 2024 trailer. CD Projekt Red's decision to focus development resources on both patching an older classic and crafting the next-generation entry demonstrates their commitment to maintaining The Witcher as one of gaming's most enduring series.

📺 Resident Evil Requiem developers hiding Leon for now

Resident Evil Requiem developers are hiding Leon Kennedy for now, leaving fans to speculate whether the iconic character will make an appearance. According to IGN's report, despite numerous leaks, Capcom has not officially confirmed Leon's role in the upcoming entry. This deliberate silence suggests the team may be saving him for a dramatic reveal closer to launch. With Resident Evil Requiem scheduled to release on February 27, 2026, the secrecy adds to the suspense surrounding what is already one of the most anticipated horror releases of the decade.


Fans got another glimpse of the game in the latest Resident Evil Requiem trailer, which showcases the series' signature blend of atmospheric tension and grotesque enemy design. The marketing strategy appears to lean heavily on nostalgia while simultaneously holding back key details, keeping the community engaged in speculation threads and theory videos. If Leon Kennedy does return, it could mark one of the most memorable reveals in Resident Evil's history, solidifying Requiem as a cornerstone of the franchise.
