SEGA is set to make waves in the gaming world with the upcoming release of Football Club Champions 2026, marking the first time this beloved series will be available globally. Previously known only as SakaTsuku in Japan, this football management game has a rich history dating back to the Sega Saturn, where players aimed to lead their teams to victory in the J-League. The excitement is palpable as fans await the launch on January 22, 2026, across multiple platforms including PS5, PC, and mobile devices.

In a surprising turn of events, Amazon Games has announced that its MMO, New World: Aeternum, will officially go offline on January 31, 2027. This news comes after the game was pulled from storefronts, marking the end of an era for players who have invested time and resources into this virtual world. With the title being delisted on January 15, 2026, players will soon find themselves unable to purchase the game or its in-game currency, signaling a definitive end to the New World experience.

In a surprising twist, indie developer Petter Malmehed has linked the decline of his puzzle game, After Hours, on Steam to a generational gap in email communication skills.

The culprit? A significant number of these emails were missing content in the body, with everything crammed into the subject line, rendering the in-game system ineffective.
