NBA 2K27 Tops Madden NFL 27 In August, Shocking Absolutely Nobody

Circana has posted its August 2026 monthly report, and unsurprisingly, NBA 2K27 is once again the best-selling game for the month. That's hardly a shocker, as it was the best-selling August game in 2024 and 2025, ending a long winning streak previously held by EA's Madden NFL series of football games. While it didn't clinch the top spot, Madden NFL 27 came in second and fourth place, as the game's Kickoff Bundle version also appeared on the charts. Overall, it was a solid month for new games. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls debuted in third place, Star Wars Zero Company landed in fifth place, and Big Walk took eighth place. In total, five of the top 10 best-selling games in August were new, with Halo: Campaign Evolved, the Switch 2 port of Elden Ring, Mario Kart World, and Splatoon Raiders rounding out the list. Here's a closer look at August's top

WoW: Forever Content Updates Will Come Slower Than You Might Expect

Developer Blizzard's new version of its flagship MMORPG, World of Warcraft: Forever, will receive content updates "every four months," avoiding modern WoW's somewhat controversial eight-week patch cycle. In an interview with IGN, Forever principal game designer Kris Zierhut revealed the content schedule plan and explained Blizzard's reasoning. He said WoW Classic's Season of Discovery received updates "way too fast," every 8-10 weeks. Since the launch of WoW's Dragonflight expansion in 2022, an eight-week update schedule is also what modern WoW operates on. Its more frequent patch schedule means there's always something new to do, but has been criticized by some players due to the buggy nature of recent updates and lackluster content. https://youtu. be/9AlEQvn4dlc? si=JHSRubJ8HwfkO_Lw On the other hand, some older expansions, like Warlords of Draenor and Shadowlands, saw content droughts that lasted six months or more, leaving players hungry for something new to do. Forever will split the difference.

Sleeping Dogs Movie Director Explains Why The Adaptation Is Taking So Long

Like many video game movies, Sleeping Dogs seems stuck in development hell. Even though it looked like progress on this adaptation of the cult-classic action game was once again picking up when Shang-Chi star Simu Liu started teasing new developments last year, and Timo Tjahjanto (Nobody 2) was later announced as the director, there's been little word since on whether the film will ever get off the ground. What's taking so long? According to Tjahjanto, the slow approach is by design. "Trust me when I say Simu and I are doing our best to slowly make this come into fruition," Tjahjanto wrote on X/Twitter. "Trying to stay as loyal to Wei Shen's tale while adding layers to make the narrative more fitting into a feature film is not an easy task. We're taking our time to make the best version of [Sleeping Dogs] the movie. " Sleeping Dogs Sleeping Dogs
