Digital storefront GOG will host its inaugural “GOG Showcase” on November 5, 2026, streaming live from its YouTube channel at 7 p.m. CET (1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT). The event marks the platform’s 18th anniversary and promises announcements of new game releases, upcoming storefront features, and additional surprises as GOG enters a new growth phase.

While the catalogue still lacks some DLC and updates compared with rivals, the showcase aims to reinforce GOG’s commitment to preserving retro and modern PC gaming experiences and will attract thousands of viewers worldwide.

Wizards of the Coast released the D&D World of Warcraft Gameplay Expansion Book, available for pre‑order with a November 17 release and immediate digital access for D&D Beyond Master Tier subscribers. The book maps Azeroth’s continents and conflicts onto tabletop play, introducing 13 new subclasses for D&D’s core classes, including three Hero classes—Death Knight, Demon Hunter, and Evoker—alongside several reworked builds. While some subclasses feel fresh and engaging, others closely mirror existing D&D options, indicating uneven innovation across the expansion.

Nintendo’s main Switch cartridge manufacturer is leaving – that’s unlikely to affect…

Macronix, Nintendo’s primary supplier of flash memory for Switch 1 cartridges, is discontinuing production of the ROM chips that power those games. The company cites record profits and a strategic shift toward higher‑priced data‑center memory, which is in high demand. Macronix’s exit is unlikely to impact Switch 2 cartridges, which are manufactured by Rohm and an unidentified partner. Nintendo has no plans to abandon physical media, and the Switch 1 market is already shrinking.

💡 The move underscores the broader memory‑chip shortage that could inflate next‑gen console costs, but Nintendo’s continued commitment to physical cartridges keeps the Switch ecosystem stable.

Sony Santa Monaco announced that its upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive, God of War Laufey, will be delayed to May 20, 2027, moving the release from February.

💡 The delay underscores Sony’s commitment to quality over schedule, potentially setting a new standard for flagship releases. It also reshapes the competitive landscape, giving players a clearer window to experience the game without competing titles.

Henry Cavill has created a 16‑bit video game called Mustache Protocol on Googlebook, a new platform by Google. The game, styled after Mission: Impossible – Fallout, tasks players with stopping CGI artists from erasing all mustaches worldwide.

While the game is not yet released, Google will donate $11 per play in November to Movember, contributing up to $500,000 for men’s health causes.

💡 By linking a celebrity‑led game to a charitable campaign, Google leverages entertainment to raise significant funds for men’s health, turning a playful concept into a tangible social impact.
