'Godzilla Minus Zero' Director Reveals How Steven Spielberg Inspired the Sci-Fi Sequel

1 Share

The most exciting sci-fi blockbuster that's set to conclude an epic story this year isn't Avengers: Doomsday. It isn't Dune: Part Three, either. And it definitely isn't Mortal Kombat II. The only cinematic spectacle of 2026 that truly matters is Godzilla Minus Zero, which promises to bring a conclusion to the story director Takashi Yamazaki launched three years earlier with Godzilla Minus One.

This remarkable mod transforms the most frightening horror game of the decade into Mirror's Edge

1 Share

Amnesia: The Bunker is without a doubt the most frightening horror game I've played this decade. Its terrifying tale of being chased through a crumbling French bunker by a monster has the darkest, thickest, most unnerving atmosphere of any horror game I've played since Alien: Isolation. It's so intense that it's hard to imagine anyone making something light and airy out of its subterranean warrens, and it's downright inconceivable that someone might, say, turn Amnesia: The Bunker into Mirror's Edge.

And yet, that's exactly what modder TiMan has done. Created for Frictional Games' 2026 modding jam—which ran with the theme of 'What is reality?'—Bunker's Edge sees the base game's protagonist Henri transported through a portal from the trenches of war-ravaged France to the pristine skyline of EA's free-running classic.

The change of scenery alone is remarkable. The Bunker's HPL engine is purpose built to deliver darkness, shadows and murk, so seeing it handle such a bright and colourful environment is mightily impressive. But what's really interesting is how TiMan has implemented all of Mirror's Edge's free-running mechanics. Mantling, sliding, wall-running, pipe-climbing, runner's vision, that 180-degree wall-jump that I always struggled to perform in the base game, it's all here.

Despite the breezier setting, Bunker's Edge is still a horror game. The Bunker's monster has followed Henri through the portal, and chases him across the rooftops just as relentlessly as it stalks him through the base game's subterranean fortification.

All told, it's a snazzy bit of modding showmanship, though there are a couple of points to be aware of. First off, Bunker's Edge is (very understandably) not as slick as actual Mirror's Edge. Some of Henri's parkour moves, like sliding, are a little awkward, and more than once I clambered straight through a wall and found myself trapped inside the world geometry.

The other thing to note is that Bunker's Edge is very short. You can blast through the whole thing in about 15 minutes. The ending is also extremely weird, not what you'd expect from either The Bunker or Mirror's Edge.

Nonetheless, Bunker's Edge is a fun diversion for a Sunday afternoon. Alongside hosting modding jams, Frictional is also working on its next horror game Ontos. The sci-fi adventure has more in common with 2015's Soma than The Bunker, but it's still one of my most anticipated games of 2027.

Former Far Cry boss says it's "an honor" to take over StarCraft: "We won the cosmic lottery"

1 Share

All the rumors were true - well, some of them were. StarCraft is finally making a return, but this time as an open-world shooter led by a developer who knows a thing or two about the genre. Former Far Cry boss Dan Hay is in charge of the project, and he told us he's taking the "honor" of bringing back the series "very seriously."

"It is an honor," Hay says in an interview with GamesRadar+ at BlizzCon 2026. "We take that very seriously. It's an honor. You get a chance to work on something that so many people love and care deeply about. We take that very seriously, and you can hear it in my voice. We won the cosmic lottery. We get to work on StarCraft. We get to pick up the baton that really great people made. We get to hear about it. We get to think about it. We get to stew on it, and then we get to make something new, but that feels familiar, and that's powerful."

The original StarCraft RTS gems were some of the defining games of Blizzard Entertainment's early years. Not only has it been a decade since the last proper game in the series came out, Blizzard itself has been trying to turn StarCraft into a shooter since at least the early 2000s. (See: StarCraft Ghost.) It's no surprise Hay is so excited about finally turning that ambition into a reality, then.

Not too much is known about the upcoming game, simply called StarCraft. We have a typically gorgeous animated mood trailer (embedded above), we know it's set 70 years after Legacy of the Void, and Blizzard's slapped a 2030 release window on top. Hay told us that putting a release year on StarCraft this far out is proof "we're serious" and "confident."

Diablo 5's first confirmed classes are the Demon Hunter, Monk, and the all-new Plague Knight: Blizzard says the sequel has "more classes than ever before"
