Gaming News Blitz: Baldur’s Gate 3 AI Fail, GOG Preservation Push, and Yoko Taro’s Evangelion Adventure!

Elon Musk’s Grok AI is reportedly facing delays because of its embarrassing lack of knowledge about Baldur’s Gate 3, one of the most celebrated RPGs of recent years. Meanwhile, GOG is doubling down on game preservation with a campaign asking players who “give a s**t” to support their mission of saving digital history. And in a surprising crossover, Nier creator Yoko Taro is diving into the world of Evangelion, bringing his unique philosophical storytelling to the iconic anime franchise.

The gaming world is abuzz with drama as Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya unleashes a scathing critique of the leakers behind Resident Evil Requiem, wishing they’d “never play the game again.” Despite industry layoffs, consumer spending in gaming continues to rise, with January 2026 showing surprising strength. Xbox’s new head honcho has drawn a line in the sand against “bad AI,” signaling a shift toward quality over quantity in the console giant’s AI initiatives.

Other big news includes Netflix and Take-Two’s anxious wait for the BioShock movie to align with the new game’s release, the unexpected success of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on Switch despite Nintendo removing Home compatibility mention, and Slay the Spire 2 finally locking in its March release date with online co-op confirmed. Meanwhile, industry giant Tencent has shut down TiMi Montreal, signaling further consolidation in the gaming landscape.
