Marathon Will Put Jennifer English GOTY Effect To The Test

Key Points:

• Multiplayer games like Marathon have a growing chance at Game of the Year (GOTY), following recent wins by titles like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, with some fans hoping Marathon could continue this trend in 2026 despite online games rarely winning.
• Space Marine 2 developers apologized for the incomplete DLC voice pack, explaining that production constraints such as localization and voice actor availability prevented them from including all scripted dialogue, leading to player disappointment.
• Resident Evil reboot movie director Zach Cregger acknowledges fan skepticism and fears about the adaptation but remains confident in the film's quality, with early test screenings reportedly receiving positive feedback despite ongoing fan complaints.
• Dead by Daylight will not be getting a sequel, though no detailed reasons were provided in the update.
• Additional news includes the departure of Raven Software’s cofounder after 36 years, the cancellation of The Last Of Us Online despite being 80% complete, and the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie coinciding with a real space mission.
