Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is now 50% off on Steam and GOG until January 24, 2026, which makes this one of the best-value RPG grabs of the month if you've been sitting on the fence. The discount is already being framed as a standout deal, with Game Rant highlighting the historically low price across both storefronts and pointing to how rare it is to see the game drop this hard so soon. If you want to catch the vibe before you buy, Warhorse Studios' official Kingdom Come Deliverance II Royal Edition launch trailer is a great snapshot of what's waiting for you—mud, steel, politics, and the kind of grounded medieval drama the series does better than almost anyone.
How to buy and download Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on Steam or GOG before the sale ends is simple, but you'll want to double-check the discount is still active at checkout. On Steam, search the title, confirm the 50% off price tag, purchase, then hit Install from your Library to start the download. On GOG, you can either install via GOG Galaxy or use offline installers if you prefer owning your files outright. And if you're new to the franchise, starting with Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 is still the smart move before jumping into the sequel—because the combat pacing, progression systems, and story context feel far more rewarding when you've lived the earlier chapter first.
Nintendo of America begins a new chapter in 2026 with Devon Pritchard stepping in as President and Chief Operating Officer, following Doug Bowser officially standing down at the start of the New Year. The shift has already sparked industry discussion, and VGC's report on Pritchard's first industry appearance since taking the role captures the tone of that moment—fresh leadership, fresh expectations, and plenty of curiosity about how Nintendo's US operations might evolve under her direction. Nintendo tends to play the long game, so even a quiet leadership transition can have a ripple effect on how games are positioned, how events are handled, and how upcoming hardware eras are framed.
Mario Kart World remains a strong example of Nintendo's blockbuster presentation style, and it's a good reference point for the kind of energy fans expect going forward. If you want something tangible tied to Nintendo's current momentum, Nintendo of America's Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct presentation shows how the company continues to turn a game reveal into a full-on event, complete with sharp pacing and crowd-pleasing highlights. Whether you're deep into Mario Kart, waiting on what's next for the Nintendo Switch ecosystem, or just watching the industry for big moves, this leadership story is the kind of headline that matters more over time than it does overnight.
Marathon officially launches on March 5, 2026, giving Bungie's sci-fi extraction shooter a concrete date that players can finally lock into their calendars. Interest in the project has been steadily building, and the date reveal lands alongside a wave of attention around the game's cast, style, and pre-launch hype. For the cleanest official look at what Bungie is aiming for, IGN's Marathon Official Pre-Order Trailer delivers the strongest "this is the vibe" first impression, showing off the tone and intensity that extraction shooter fans usually crave—high tension, high risk, and that constant feeling of being hunted.
Marathon's voice cast reveal has also become part of the headline story, with names like Ben Starr, Jennifer English, and Roger Clark helping the game pull attention beyond the usual shooter crowd. The official hype train is rolling fast on social platforms, with the MarathonTheGame post on X pushing the announcement and TauCetiGG's follow-up on X adding community amplification around the news. And for anyone who loves the behind-the-scenes timeline of how these announcements unfold, IGN's report on the Marathon release date leak via the Xbox Store offers a clear reminder that in modern gaming, "leaks" often become the opening act before the official spotlight hits.
