Nintendo and The Lego Group continue to collaborate, as the pair teased a Lego version of the Game Boy handheld today.
The Game Boy, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in July 2024, is the best-selling video game platform of all time as it popularized portable gaming and featured a series of must-own titles, from Tetris to Pokémon Red and Blue. This product, set to be released in October 2025, will allow players to build a Lego version of the handheld.
We’ve yet to see what this official Lego Game Boy looks like in full yet. So far, the product has just been teased by The Lego Group on Facebook and Instagram, with a brief video showcasing Lego versions of the handheld’s purple buttons and d-pad.
Pricing details for the Lego Game Boy have not been revealed, but you should note that Nintendo and Lego previously created a similar kind of Lego build for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and that costs $270. In addition, the companies have worked together to create products based on franchises like Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. Like the Lego NES, it’s unlikely that this Lego Game Boy will be able to play games for the handheld. If you want to do that, you’ll need to dig out your original device or pick up something like ModRetro’s Chromatic.
The Lego Game Boy will launch sometime in October 2025. If rumors regarding the successor to the Nintendo Switch are true, this also won’t be the only kind of Nintendo handheld that we can get our hands on this year.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
