Colonel Roy Campbell is among the most iconic characters in Konami’s Metal Gear series, and the smooth pipes of voice actor Paul Eiding helped make everything he said memorable. The character hasn’t appeared in any Metal Gear Solid games released this generation, but Eiding brought him out of retirement for an odd reason: Reading an indictment from United States special counsel Robert Mueller.
The indictment, which charged 13 Russian nationals with attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, references a project called the “translator project” under the controller of an organization called “Internet Research Agency.” Subsequent references to the organization refer to it only as “organization,” however, which sounds just like something Hideo Kojima would have come up with for a villainous secret society.
Paired with Eiding, who addresses the indictment directly to Solid Snake at the beginning of the recording, we have the premise for a sixth Metal Gear Solid game.
As several YouTube commenters have pointed out, there are several points during the recording where Snake’s voice actor David Hayter’s incessant questioning would have fit perfectly:
“Organization? Translator project? Psycho Mantis?”
There are other nuggets of gold in the indictment, including a line about “Bystrov” and “Prigozhin” communicating regarding the operations of “Project Lakhta.” Were this an actual Metal Gear game, this likely would have taken under the ice of Antarctica rather than in the United States.
Eiding’s video ends with a “to be continued” line, but it isn’t clear if he is referring to his video series or the growing number of indictments handed down by Mueller. Shortly after the video was published, new charges were filed against former Donald Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates. They are accused of laundering $30 million as well as evading taxes. Gates is expected to plead guilty as he moves to cooperate with Mueller’s team on further investigations.
The latest entry in the Metal Gear series, Metal Gear Survive, is available now for Buy Now , Buy Now , and PC. It is the first game in the series following the departure of longtime director Kojima, who is now working on the PlayStation 4-exclusive Death Stranding.
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.
