🎮 Multi-platformThere’s One Big Change To Sephiroth In Final Fantasy 7 Revelation
Sephiroth is up to his old tricks in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-revelation-gets-its-first-trailer-at-summer-game-fest/), but one thing that has changed about the enduring villain is his voice. Tyler Hoechlin previously voiced the One-Winged Angel in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and its first sequel, Rebirth, but Revelation features anime veteran Travis Willingham as the voice of the antagonist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ3KTw0ow1M&pp=0gcJCSgLAYcqIYzv Following an interview with game director Naoki Hamaguchi, streamer Maximilian Dood confirmed(https://youtu.be/jp0MlhMJvhM) that Willingham had stepped in to replace him. Due to a scheduling conflict, Hoechlin couldn't return to voice Sephiroth. As for Willingham, he has numerous credits in anime series, having provided the voices for fan-favorite characters like Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist and Portgas D. Ace in One Piece. Willingham has a long history in video games, having recently provided the voices for Thor and Dr. Doom in Marvel Rivals. His name might also ring a bell for tabletop fans, as he has been a cast member of Critical Role since 2015, the Dungeons & Dragons web series that Vincent Valentine's voice actor, Matthew Mercer, served as Dungeon Master on for its first three campaigns. Hoechlin's Sephiroth was a big hit during his appearances, as, similarly to George Newbern's spin on the character, he provided a calm, cool, and collected performance. Both actors have also portrayed Superman in various forms of media, with Newbern providing the voice of the character in various DC animated series and movies, while Hoechlin played the Man of Steel in the CW's live-action Supergirl series and Superman & Lois. Before either actor landed the role as Final Fantasy 7's big bad, NSync's Lance Bass was the original voice actor for Sephiroth. After its reveal at Summer Game Fest Live(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/) this week, Square Enix confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth won't be a PlayStation timed exclusive when it launches in 2027. It'll also be available on PC, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S the same day. The final chapter in the Remake saga picks up shortly after the events of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, and it follows Cloud Strife and his companions on their quest to stop Sephiroth from attaining godhood.

🎮 Multi-platformModern Warfare 4's DMZ mode is going full Arc Raiders
Modern Warfare 4 is bringing back a vastly improved DMZ mode later this year and it looks phenomenal, with inspiration from other extraction shooters.
🎮 Multi-platformCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 DMZ Adds GTA-Like Wanted System
DMZ mode returns for Modern Warfare 4, bringing back Call of Duty's take on the "high-risk for high-reward" extraction shooter genre. Infinity Ward is expanding on the features from the original DMZ, and Modern Warfare 4 includes a new "GTA-like" Wanted system, making it a lot riskier to play loud. DMZ's Hajin map is a hostile territory, where players want to loot and make a successful extraction with all their valuables and gear. Dangers come from fighting AI enemies as well as other real players, who might be looking to steal their loot. Infinity Ward described the city of Hajin by saying, "When you push against the world, the world pushes back." This includes the mode's new "star rank" feature, which sounds much like a Grand Theft Auto-like system for noting how much attention a player is drawing from opposing forces. The developer explained it by saying that the more a player fights, the tougher the opposition becomes in a given area, and the enemy will start to deploy bigger threats. One example given was that a helicopter might chase down a player with a high star rank. However, players can opt for using stealth to eliminate enemies, as this won't count toward the star system. The UI will also provide indicators that let players know when the AI is about to spot them, giving a chance to duck for cover and break the line of sight. This new heat-level system adds a new layer to DMZ, forcing players to choose between taking a loud fight or approaching with stealth for better survival odds. Dying in DMZ means losing everything. This includes all of the player's gear, scavenged loot, and even the operator themselves, unless they have the in-game cash to bring them back(https://www.gamespot.com/?posttype=articles&p=1781949&preview=true&thumbnailid=1781953). Infinity Ward are giving the first official look at Modern Warfare 4's DMZ during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. In addition to DMZ, the game also features a full story campaign and multiplayer. Infinity Ward confirmed the upcoming game will commit to authenticity(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-cosmetics-will-feel-authentic-to-series-devs-claim/), so players shouldn't expect any wacky operator skins like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Lady Gaga. Modern Warfare 4 preorders are live(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/preorder-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-vault-edition-and-save-10/) now with standard and Vault editions of the game. Like previous years, Modern Warfare 4 is confirmed to have an open beta(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-open-beta-confirmed-and-you-can-get-in-early/) ahead of launch.
🎮 Multi-platform82-0 is the best basketball game, to hell with NBA 2K
82-0 marries the stat nerd fun of fantasy basketball with instant gratification and a bit of dumb luck. The goal is to draft a team of players that could (theoretically) have a perfect 82-0 season. Obviously, if you just had free rein to pick whoever you wanted from throughout history, there would be little challenge. &8230;
🎮 Multi-platformAnger Shows That Fans Care, And God Of War Laufey’s Director Hopes They Come Along For The Journey
God of War Laufey marks the first time in the franchise that you'll be playing as anyone other than the Ghost of Sparta, Kratos. Instead, you'll play as Faye, his late wife whose death kicked off the events of the God of War reboot in 2018. It's a big change for the series that has rubbed some fans the wrong way, but Laufey's director sees that as a good thing. GameSpot spoke to God of War Laufey's director(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-war-laufeys-director-talks-fan-skepticism-new-ideas-and-phranque-the-cube/), Ariel Lawrence, who explained why fans who are skeptical of the new direction, and even those angry with it, show that they care about the series deeply. And it's those people that Sony Santa Monica hope come along for this new ride. https://youtu.be/upjpP54xDIc?si=deP9cGIx3gHclwJD "I’m so thankful that we have the fans that we have. I’m so thankful that we have people who care," Lawrence explained. "And whether or not they care, they’re upset, or they think we should do something that’s different, I would rather they care. So we’re arms open, ready to show them Faye’s journey and have them fall in love with her like we have. That’s the exciting part for us." Asked whether the negativity fueled the team in any way, Lawrence explained that the team instead felt challenged to show those who are skeptical what it was capable of, in the same way that it has in the past. And that, contrary to assumptions, this isn't the end for Kratos' story. "I understand everybody’s reservations and hesitations and I know that it comes from a good place," Lawrence concluded. "They have been on that journey with Kratos as long as I have, right? And it means something to them and I hope that this is more of a 'yes and' for expanding. We’re not leaving anybody behind. We’ve got plenty more Kratos coming. This is really just a place for adventure to go beyond what we had." You can read our full interview with Ariel Lawrence(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-war-laufeys-director-talks-fan-skepticism-new-ideas-and-phranque-the-cube/), which dives into the changes to God of War's combat, how it lines up with the timelines of previous games, and what fans might expect from Kratos and Atreus, should they appear.
