That prophecy has come true, as Lego has unveiled its new Shrek kit, capturing the Ogre and his pals in all their brick-built nightmare fuel glory. Available now to preorder ahead of its release on June 1, you can pick up this trio(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Flego.com%252Fen-us%252Fproduct%252Fshrek-donkey-puss-in-boots-72423&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F%3Ftype%3D5%26platform%3D5&eventtype=click) for $130, as well as a selection of Shrek BrickHeadz figures(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.lego.com%252Fen-us%252Fproduct%252Fshrek-donkey-gingy-figures-40923&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F%3Ftype%3D5%26platform%3D5&eventtype=click) for $25.

The fast-talking mule has been appropriately recreated in Lego, his face locked in an eternal rictus gaze that reminds you how the character doesn't have an off-switch. Puss in Boots is the cutest of the bunch, taking the form of a Lego minifigure that comes equipped with a stylish hat, sword, and rapier. The rest of the set includes a few nods to Shrek's swamp, including a keep out sign and a tile with a bog fly on it.

🎮 Multi-platformPlayers Say Peter Molyneux's New God Game Is Too Much Like Cooking Mama
Peter Molyneux--creator of Fable(https://www.gamespot.com/games/fable/) and various popular "god" games like Black & White(https://www.gamespot.com/games/black-and-white/)--has released what he says is his final game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/peter-molyneux-is-making-his-last-game-i-just-havent-got-the-life-energy-left-to-do-this-again/1100-6535211/), the "culmination of his life's work," and proof that he's done over-promising(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/peter-molyneux-claims-masters-of-albion-will-finally-break-his-overpromising-streak/1100-6535764/) and under-delivering: Masters of Albion,(https://www.gamespot.com/games/masters-of-albion/) a "god game" that launched in early access yesterday. But rather than feeling like an omnipotent god, players say the game makes them feel like they're trapped in a medieval version of Cooking Mama(https://www.gamespot.com/games/cooking-mama/). "The main gameplay loop seems to center more or less around a Cooking Mama style mini-game," one player wrote on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/3165650/MastersofAlbion/), where the game's user reviews are currently "mixed." Masters of Albion's Steam page describes it as "A bold reimagining of the god game genre from the creator who defined it," and explains that players can "shape a living world as a god--or step into it and experience it through its people." The game includes building, town defense, and other typical life-sim-meets-strategy-game genre staples. But it also includes a whole lot of painstaking Cooking Mama-esque sandwich-making, apparently.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformNew PS5 Update Is Out Now, And It Doesn't Even Mention Stability
A new firmware update has begun rolling out for PS5 consoles, and the big surprise is that it doesn't add more system stability. Version 26.03-13.20.00 brings more of your mom's favorite WhatsApp language to the console, as you can now use an expanded selection of emojis as message reactions. On top of that, Sony says it also added improvements to messages on "some" screens. PS5 Version 26.03-13.20.00 Update Notes - We've added more emojis that you can use for message reactions - We've improved the messages and usability on some screens And that's it--no system stability notes or any other significant updates, just more emojis and better messages. Previous firmware updates(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-ps5-update-is-out-now-actually-does-a-lot-for-once/1100-6538822/) introduced more substantial upgrades to PS5 consoles, like an enhanced version(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-pros-upgraded-pssr-is-rolling-out-today-here-are-the-first-games-getting-it/1100-6538811/) of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution for the PS5 Pro, a new Showcase Mode, and improved system software performance. Back in January, the Version 26.01-12.60.00(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-ps5-update-is-out-now-does-what-you-expect-and-more/1100-6537714/) update also introduced the usual round of stability enhancements alongside a few extra improvements to friend widgets, general usability, and messages.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformMore Call Of Duty Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass This Year - Report
Microsoft might be dropping new Call of Duty games from Xbox Game Pass(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-pass-gets-price-drop-new-call-of-duty-games-no-longer-included/1100-6539523/), but that reportedly won't stop older entries in the FPS franchise from arriving on the service sooner than later. According to PC Gamer(https://www.pcgamer.com/games/call-of-duty/older-call-of-duty-games-are-coming-to-game-pass-in-2026/), Activision is looking at bringing legacy Call of Duty games to subscribers sometime this year. There are tons of options, considering there are only six Call of Duty titles on Game Pass currently. The oldest is 2017's Call of Duty: WWII(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/call-of-duty-wwii-review/1900-6416800/), while weirdly, 2020's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war-review/1900-6417609/) isn't included. In fact, it was only last week that 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare joined the subscription catalog(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/one-of-the-best-call-of-duty-games-just-came-to-game-pass/1100-6539479/). That leaves a huge chunk of the series to pick and choose from, such as: 2007's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops, or even going back to the beginning with the original Call of Duty from 2003. Microsoft has owned Activision Blizzard(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/all-the-activision-blizzard-franchises-microsoft-now-owns/2900-4896/) for years at this point, so it's a bit odd so many Call of Duty games are MIA on Game Pass. On the flip side, removing new, day-one entries in the franchise isn't too surprising considering it's been speculated that doing so lost the Xbox company hundreds of millions of dollars(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-lost-300-million-in-sales-due-to-game-pass-report/1100-6535256/). Additionally, Black Ops 7 landed with a thud last year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-7-had-call-of-dutys-worst-sales-year-ranking-in-the-us-since-2008/1100-6537567/) when stacked up against past Call of Duty games. Continue Reading at GameSpot(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/more-call-of-duty-games-are-coming-to-xbox-game-pass-this-year-report/1100-6539572/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformShuhei Yoshida Sees Gaming's Future As Indie, Not "Generic" AAA Games
PlayStation icon Shuhei Yoshida(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/former-playstation-exec-shuhei-yoshida-says-he-was-fired-after-top-boss-asked-him-to-do-ridiculous-things/1100-6539492/) estimates that each year, he plays at least 250 games, if not more. For him, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. According to Yoshida, the best part about playing that many games is that he gets to see a slew of different titles evolve over the course of their development. The downside, however, is that playing that many games in a year means very few of them can be AAA games. "I no longer play AAA games because they take too much time," he says. Indie Gaming Versus AAA One of the last AAA games Yoshida played was Ghost of Yotei(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/ghost-of-yotei-tips-beginners-guide/2900-7084/), spurred by his previous involvement with Ghost of Tsushima, but he wasn't able to finish it. He's since moved on to Nioh 3 after loving the previous two installments, but it's simply hard to find the time. Though he makes occasional time-consuming exceptions for AAA titles, Yoshida is a strong believer in indie game superiority because of their firmer creative resolve. "You can feel the game developer's vision in indie games because indie game developers don't have to ask for approvals," Yoshida says. "I used to work at a large company at PlayStation, and even though we are allowed to have the developer and studio propose what games to make, there are many people involved."
