Destiny 2 (https://www.gamespot.com/games/destiny-2/)'s The Edge of Fate expansion is finally here, and it brings a host of new content to the space shooter. From new Exotics (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/destiny-2-edge-of-fate-livestream-all-the-new-exotics-weapons-and-artifact-mods/2900-6699/), to a limited-time event (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2s-kepler-destination-has-a-limited-time-activity-thatll-give-you-new-exotics/1100-6532892/) on Kepler and a brand-new weapons and gear system, Bungie has reworked many aspects of the game.

Apple's New Emoji Game Just Launched In Place You Might Not Expect
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/apples-new-emoji-game-just-launched-in-place-you-might-not-expect/1100-6533273/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Surprise face: Emoji Game has joined a handful of other puzzle games on Apple News+, a subscription service featuring access to different newspapers and magazines. But membership also offers a handful of games to play on iOS, such as Crossword Mini and Sudoku.Apple announced (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/07/apple-news-plus-introduces-emoji-game/) yesterday that Emoji Game is now available for Apple News+ subscribers in the US and Canada. So far, the puzzle title only supports English as players use emoji to finish phrases with short clues. For example, there is a mystery two-word phrase with "departure" as the clue (which can be expanded, though it costs a move). The solution requires dragging over the sunrise and clock emoji for "early," followed by car and keys emoji for "start." These emoji also have to be selected from a larger group, too.
Steam's Updated Guidelines Allow Banks To Enforce Standards On Adult-Only Content
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steams-updated-guidelines-allow-banks-to-enforce-standards-on-adult-only-content/1100-6533253/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Valve's ubiquitous PC gaming storefront, Steam, may soon experience a purging of its adult content after a significant change to its guidelines this week.In a quiet update to its terms (https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/onboarding), Valve has now provided that, "Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult-only content" should not be published on Steam.The move, which invites banks and similar institutions to exercise an unprecedented degree of power in the kind of content that goes up on Steam, seems to have been made to appease the payment processors that work with Valve. This tactic, while relatively new to games, has been used in the past to go after porn and sex work sites like OnlyFans.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steams-updated-guidelines-allow-banks-to-enforce-standards-on-adult-only-content/1100-6533253/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Before Ghost of Yotei is released this fall, Sucker Punch is teaming up with Alamo Drafthouse for special screenings of a curated collection of samurai movies that inspired the game.Sucker Punch shared the announcement on its social media channels, and revealed that the five films in the screening series are The Tale of Zatoichi by director Kenji Misumi, the 13 Assassins remake by director Takashi Miike, Lady Snowblood by director Toshiya Fujita, Ran by the legendary Akira Kurosawa, and Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance by director Kenji Misumi.

Samurai Champloo director Shinichirō Watanabe also received his own mode in the game, which adds some original lo-fi tracks to Ghost of Yotei's soundtrack.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/catch-these-samurai-movies-that-inspired-ghost-of-yotei-in-theaters-ahead-of-its-release/1100-6533258/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Ghost Of Yotei Devs Explain How The Game Will Avoid Open-World Monotony

Later this year, Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei (https://www.gamespot.com/games/ghost-of-yotei/) will carry on the legacy of Ghost of Tsushima (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/ghost-of-tsushima-review-you-khan-do-it/1900-6417501/). Nate Fox and Jason Connell directed both games, and they have a plan to keep Ghost of Yotei from making players feel like there's an overwhelming amount of things to do in its open world.While speaking with VGC (https://www.videogameschronicle.com/features/interviews/ghost-of-yotei-interview/), Fox and Connell noted that Ghost of Yotei won't feature a lot of guidance for players about where they should go. Instead, it will let players choose their own path through the game."The thing that Jason and I love the most is that moment when you're on your horse and you're looking at this big, beautiful landscape," said Fox. "And maybe the wind is telling you, if you would like to continue the story, go that way. But you see something out of the corner of your eye that catches your curiosity. And you say, 'you know what? I'm going to go check that out.' That moment where the game's not telling you really about where to go or what to do. It's you. That's the most beautiful thing about open-world games."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ghost-of-yotei-devs-explain-how-the-game-will-avoid-open-world-monotony/1100-6533256/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
