Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen Confirmed for Nintendo Switch | The Outerhaven

It looks like we won’t have to wait for Pokémon Day 2026 that takes place on February 27, 2026, after all. Nintendo has officially confirmed that Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen are coming to Nintendo Switch. These won’t be part of Nintendo Switch Online. Instead, they’re being sold separately on the Nintendo eShop for $20 apiece. That decision alone is going to divide people. The good news is that neither are ROMs tossed into an emulator wrapper. This is being positioned as a native Swit...

Armatus Preview | The Outerhaven

It’s funny how 2026 keeps introducing me to games that were not even on my radar a week ago and Armatus is the latest example. What started as casual curiosity quickly turned into eight hours of “one more run” until I looked up and realized I had completely lost track of time. Armatus is a third-person shooter with roguelike elements, and the more I played it, the more I started seeing hints of Returnal and Hades in its DNA. But this is not some derivative project trying to copy homework. It fee...

Bluepoint Games Shut Down by Sony Interactive Entertainment in Latest Wave of Industry Cuts | The Outerhaven

Yesterday, it was revealed by Bloomberg, that Sony Interactive Entertainment has shut down Bluepoint Games, as of March 2026, will no longer exist, and I am not going to pretend that this does not frustrate me. This closure reportedly impacts around 70 people, and that number matters. Seventy developers, artists, engineers, designers, and support staff are now affected during a time when we have already seen far too many studios shut down across the industry. Layoffs and closures have become an...

Seagate Fully Allocates 2026 HDD Supply as AI and Cloud Demand Surges | The Outerhaven

You may recall that I recently wrote about Western Digital revealing during its 2026 financial call that it was essentially sold out of hard drives for 2026, with 2027 and even 2028 already locked up through enterprise-level agreements. At the time, that felt like a major shift in the storage market. Now we’re revisiting that story, only this time you can swap Western Digital for Seagate.

Luna Abyss Demo Impressions: A Bullet Hell FPS That Actually Works | The Outerhaven

What happens when you take the relentless bullet hell chaos of a SHUMP and combine it with a first-person shooter? On paper, that sounds like sensory overload. In practice, Luna Abyss proves it absolutely works. Currently in development by Bonsai Collective, this indie FPS blends tight, movement-focused gunplay with screen-filling projectile patterns that demand precision, awareness, and nerves of steel.

Reanimal Review – Tarsier Studios’ Darkest Turn Yet | The Outerhaven

Reanimal is Tarsier Studios’ darkest and most uncompromising horror adventure to date. While it builds on the atmosphere and puzzle-platforming DNA of Little Nightmares, it pushes its themes further and embraces a heavier emotional tone. It doesn’t radically reinvent the formula, but it refines it with sharper pacing and more unsettling set pieces. For fans of Tarsier’s previous work, this is an easy recommendation, though newcomers may find its familiar mechanics less surprising. Game Name: Rea...

Reanimal Review – Tarsier Studios’ Darkest Turn Yet | The Outerhaven

When Tarsier Studios revealed it was moving on from its Little Nightmares series and pursuing something new, many fans assumed that chapter was over. That was until we finally found out what Reanimal was, and it became clear that while this wasn’t Little Nightmares, it was still very much rooted in Tarsier’s dark creative identity. What I didn’t expect was just how far the studio was willing to go once those familiar boundaries were gone. Game Name: Reanimal Platform(s): PC (Reviewed), PS5, Xbox...
