Hot Sugar Presents: The Melody of Dust

Matt Kindt's Flux House imprint is one of the most exciting things happening in comics right now, and it's getting even bigger later in 2026.

After about 10 hours with the Gears E-Day multiplayer beta, Xbox's long-time shooter series is making some smart gameplay changes.

It's been a busy few weeks for Rockstar and Take-Two following a series of leaked GTA 6 gameplay videos and images. Beginning in mid-August 2026, an anonymous individual or group calling itself CyberLeek began publishing unreleased Grand Theft Auto 6 material. The first wave included gameplay videos and apparent images of the GTA 6 map. The situation is still unfolding, so we've got a roundup of all of the events of the most recent GTA 6 leak in chronological order, along with what the footage appears to show, and CyberLeek's communications so far. Ahead of the footage being posted more widely

In an age where single-player first-person shooters are slowly going extinct because they only make money for their publisher once while multiplayer live-service shooters vie for our time and attention on a daily basis (and often contain lots of bullsh*t, like microtransactions and/or drawn-out gameplay loops), Metro 2039’s single-player-only craftsmanship and attention to detail after my first few hours with it have me already prepared to call it my favorite first-person shooter in a long time.

While I can definitely see it working well solo, playing with two other players in real time is where 1001 Threads of Mizan really shines. There were no multiplayer quick time events or big flashy mid-fight cutscenes that triggered when everyone did a specific thing, but there were definitely moments where all three of us needed to attack a single weak point, or work together to defeat various obstacles at once in different areas during the boss fight. I'm very interested to see how this fusion of single-player and co-op works throughout the game.
