Helldivers 2 CEO Gives Encouraging Response About Potential Weapon Type
Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has confirmed that he'll ask his team about the possibility of a minigun weapon type being added to Helldivers 2. This will come as great news to many fans who have been asking for a minigun in Helldivers 2 since the game's launch.
While there have been a couple of missteps along the way, Helldivers 2 is largely an example of a live-service game done right. Arrowhead Game Studios is continuously in contact with its community, to the degree where the developer's CEO frequently responds to fan questions on Discord. This helps make it feel as though the studio values gamers' opinions, and this is reflected in the slew of new Helldivers 2 content that has been released over the last year. It's great to see a game keep its players engaged like this, and there's no sign of Helldivers 2 dropping off any time soon.

Rumor: Fortnite Could Be Crossing Over With Another Anime
A new rumor suggests that Fortnite may be featuring another major anime crossover in the near future, potentially teaming up with Solo Leveling for new skins, cosmetics, and more. The Epic Games battle royale has become widely known for the diverse array of crossover content added to the game throughout its life. Fortnite has collaborated with everything from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Naruto to celebrities like Mariah Carey and Snoop Dogg. However, a certain genre of Fortnite crossovers has been a particularly fruitful endeavor for the game.Anime has become a central part of Fortnite's many crossovers, with a variety of popular Japanese multimedia franchises joining the game. Epic Games has often brought in some of the most well-known series from Japan to be featured through skins, including beloved franchises like Dragon Ball Z, Jujutsu Kaisen, and My Hero Academia. Many have even seen their own unique weapons and items added for their specific events, with players able to wield the Kamehameha or Deku's "Smash" attacks against their opponents. A new leak is now hinting at another massively popular anime franchise that could be coming to Fortnite.
Mortal Kombat Leak Reveals Unexpected Crossover
A new leak suggests that Mortal Kombat could be about to do battle in the Rocket League arena. Mortal Kombat has been at the forefront of fighting games since the early 1990s. In 2023, NetherRealm rebooted the franchise with Mortal Kombat 1 and has since been looking at expanding the franchise's appeal outside of its fighting roots.NetherRealm’s violent brawler is no stranger to making appearances outside its own universe. Mortal Kombat recently partnered with Fortnite to bring the iconic Sub-Zero to Epic Games’ Battle Royale title. It now seems that Warner Bros and Nether Realm could be working to explore other avenues of promoting the long-running franchise.In a post on Twitter, the notable leaker SamLeakss claims that Mortal Kombat could be making a surprise appearance in Rocket League. The post doesn’t detail what the crossover will entail, just that it will be happening at some point soon. With Season 18 of Rocket League getting underway, it may not be long before there is an official announcement from Psyonix and Epic Games regarding any extra content. The post also confirms that items in the Mortal Kombat and Rocket League crossover could also work their way into the current season of Fortnite.
Counter-Strike 2 Has Broken Yet Another Record
Counter-Strike 2 has broken its record for simultaneous players less than a month after it set its last one. Few shooter series have developed as devoted a fanbase as the Counter-Strike franchise, and even though its latest entry is nearing two years old, it's showing no signs of slowing. Players are still flocking to Counter-Strike 2, even without any major updates to incentivize people to do so.
Even though the start of 2025 has brought some strong competition from the likes of Monster Hunter Wilds and Avowed, Valve's hyper-competitive shooter has remained firmly in the top spot on Steam. On February 16, Counter-Strike 2 surpassed 1.7 million concurrent players, setting a new peak player count for the game. Now, just under a month later, it's done it again.On March 15, Counter-Strike 2 hit 1,824,989 concurrent players, breaking its latest record by roughly 100,000 users. Just like the previous peak, the news is a bit of a surprise, as the game hasn't seen any major content releases or updates in a while. While Counter-Strike 2 Premier mode entered Season 2 in January, there hasn't been a single big event to bring so many people to the game at once. It seems the spike in players is simply due to its undying popularity and the ever-growing market for skins and other collectibles, which helped solidify Counter-Strike 2's dominance on Steam in the first place.

Huge Counter-Strike Mod Seemingly Blocked by Valve
A highly ambitious Counter-Strike: Global Offensive mod aiming to bring back the "classic feeling" of Counter-Strike 1.6 has hit a major roadblock. After spending nearly eight years in limbo, the Counter-Strike: Classic Offensive mod for CS:GO seems to have been blocked by Valve, leaving both its developers and fans disappointed.Although CS:GO (now CS2) is widely regarded as one of the best multiplayer first-person shooters on PC, many of its fans yearn for the series' early days, which inadvertently gave rise to the team behind the Counter-Strike: Classic Offensive mod. Having commenced development in 2016, Classic Offensive seeks to recreate the nostalgic feel of Counter-Strike 1.6, complete with classic weapons, physics, audio effects, etc., all within the modern rendition of Valve's Source engine used for CS:GO. The project has existed on ModDB for several years, with regular progress updates and support from the CS:GO modding community. Classic Offensive even made it through Valve’s Steam Greenlight program in 2017.Unfortunately, progress on Classic Offensive's Steam release has reached a complete standstill. To explain the situation, the team behind the CS:GO mod recently posted a statement on Twitter, revealing that despite years of effort and compliance with Valve's legal guidelines over the usage of the Counter-Strike IP, Classic Offensive never saw the light of day on Steam. Moreover, the team's communication with Valve apparently ceased in late 2020, and the situation escalated when Classic Offensive was submitted for a build review on October 6, 2024. After weeks of silence, the team received an automated message from Valve declaring that the Steamworks app for Classic Offensive had been retired without explanation.The lack of feedback was described as a "worse form of a Cease and Desist," and the Classic Offensive team stands frustrated over the sudden halt. Adding to their grievances, the CS:GO mod's developers shared that many Valve employees were aware of the project but provided no indication that their work would ultimately face rejection. Keeping this in mind, the Classic Offensive team felt "required" to inform any modding teams working on Valve-related projects to reconsider their release strategies should they plan to rely solely on Steam as their primary distribution platform.
