Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Opens September 16 at Universal Studios Hollywood

When “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” opens on Wednesday, September 16 at Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park’s eagerly awaited first outdoor, high‑speed roller coaster will deliver an unprecedented surge of adrenaline and a new level of intensity to the destination, unlike anything experienced in the park’s decades‑long history.

With its striking visual design and state-of-the-art ride technology, this all-new roller coaster—the fastest in the Universal Destinations & Experiences portfolio—is set to redefine the thrill ride experience and further enrich Universal Studios Hollywood, renowned for creating world-class rides and attractions inspired by today’s most iconic entertainment properties.

Universal Pictures’ $7 billion Fast & Furious franchise, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, serves as the driving force behind Universal Studios Hollywood’s new, outdoor roller coaster, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.” With speed, adrenaline and street racing at its core, the 11-film franchise is a natural fit for a coaster at a theme park where movie‑themed attractions already take center stage. An all-new film in the saga, Fast Forever, will race into theatres in March 2028.

The ride celebrates the Fast & Furious franchise and captures the spectacle, suspense and meticulous choreography created for the edge-of-your-seat driving sequences the films are renowned for, offering guests a chance to experience the energy and thrill of high-speed action for themselves.

Located on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” is situated within an expansive red brick-garage-like structure. Two stationary, photo op prop car reproductions welcome guests just outside the ride as they make their way through the entry archway towards the queue.
In a technological first, a portion of the “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” ride track will race through a transparent encased section of the queue, building on the anticipation as guests wait to ride.

A unique dual-launching, split-ride track will alternate trains from dispatch to propel guests on an epic adventure that will take them over and under portions of the multilevel Starway escalator, through four spectacular launches, an exciting inverted dive loop, twisted pretzel loop and inverted stall, among others, at speeds of up to 72 MPH and a force of up to 3.6 Gs along 4,100 feet of elaborate aerial track constructed with sound-reduction technology while drifting at 360-degrees in their individual ride vehicles.

Thrill seekers will begin their journey lap-bar harnessed into one of four iconic Fast Saga ride vehicles—the Dodge Charger, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Toyota Supra—each modeled after the cars driven by favorite Fast characters in the film series. The arrival platform will be anchored by an all-original, large-scale mural created by world-renowned artist Tristan Eaton, which depicts the finale street racing action scene in the very first Fast film, 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, with a montage of the aerial-bound Dodge Charger and Toyota Supra vehicles racing against a speeding train. Another inspirational Tristan Eaton mural will be featured within the queue in tribute to the entire film franchise.

Equipped with a fully independent audio system, each ride vehicle will surround guests with true‑to‑type engine and sound effects unique to the car they are riding in. And, because each ride vehicle is fully rotational and independently programmed to drift in motion along each train, guests can enjoy four varying experiences depending on which vehicle they are seated.

With real estate at a premium at the Hollywood theme park destination, the visionaries at Universal Creative had the foresight to transform the hillside terrain into the backbone of the coaster, using its natural contours and vista as both the structural base and a defining element of the ride’s imaginative design. The end result delivers breathtaking panoramic views of the San Fernando Valley, the Universal Studio movie studio and the theme park.

Designed to advance the storyline while keeping guests entertained, the queue guides guests through an environment filled with recreated props from the Fast Saga films. Select displays will feature QR codes that guests can scan for additional behind‑the‑scenes insights and context about the displays. The QR code opens to Universal Studios’ fan engagement site, the “Backlot Club.” From there guests can either create a new account or login to their existing account to enjoy the behind-the-scenes information as it pertains to the various displays.

Highlights of the props include:

Car Cannon, featuring the car driven by Brian O’Conner in Fast & Furious 6
Roll Cage and Winch, featuring the 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8, driven by Dom Toretto, in Fast 5
Vault Truck, as featured in Fast 5
Motorcycle, as featured in F9, driven by Letty Ortiz
NOS System and Dodge Charger Engine, a recreation of the internal NOS operating system for the modified Fast & Furious ride vehicles in the films
Ramp Car, driven by Owen Shaw in Fast & Furious 6
Rolling Bomb, as featured in Fast X
Rollover Stunt Rig, a recreation of the rollover stunt rigging system used in the Fast & Furious films

Due to the dynamics of the roller coaster, guests will be required to place all belongings in complimentary lockers, located within the queue area. They will also be required to pass through metal detection before entering the ride platform to ensure all loose articles, including mobile phones, among other items, are placed securely in the lockers.This ambitious roller coaster benefits from Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades-long expertise in revolutionizing the development of contemporary roller coasters across its global theme parks.

“Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” joins Universal Studios Hollywood’s slate of unprecedented groundbreaking attractions, including the interactive land, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, featuring the critically-acclaimed “Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge” ride; “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™” highly immersive land that features Hogsmeade™ village, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™” and “Flight of the Hippogriff™ rides; “Jurassic World—The Ride”; Illumination’s award-winning “The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash” and “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem”; Springfield, U.S.A. and “The Simpsons Ride™”; “TRANSFORMERS™: The Ride-3D” and “Revenge of the Mummy—The Ride,” as well as the theme park’s signature, behind-the-scenes Studio Tour attraction.

The Last Caretaker Update 5.5: Deck Drop Trailer

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Channel37 releases Update 5.5: Deck Drop, the seventh Early Access update for The Last Caretaker, available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The update adds new quests, memories, storage systems and locations alongside extensive optimization, fixes and polish shaped by player feedback. The Last Caretaker is also 20% off through September 13, and part of Steam PvE Survival Crafting Fest 2026.

Update 5.5: Deck Drop wasn’t originally on the roadmap. With Update 6 already in development, the team had another substantial batch of improvements and content ready ahead of schedule. Players had also been asking for better ways to store and move resources, smoother moment-to-moment play, and more reasons to revisit existing parts of the world. Rather than hold that work for the next major update, Channel37 decided to release it now.

Update 5.5: Deck Drop Highlights

Expanded storage: 11 new container modules, from portable storage to large Bulk Battery, Petrol and Diesel containers.
More history to uncover: Pack of new memories and even more HoloMemories, alongside new questlines MOSES Field Reserve Program and Memory for Aron.
More places to explore: New Gyro Towers, Container Dispensers, Warehouse expansion and additional discoveries throughout the world.
A smoother game: reduced loading stutter, improved vehicle handling and cameras, clearer UI, better weather and visibility, and extensive world polish.
A major fix and balancing pass: addressing crashes, quests, crafting, rockets, cables, containers, locations and progression issues.

Update 5.5: Deck Drop also expands several existing systems. Container Dispensers have been added across the world, the Fishing Module has been further tuned, and new secrets are there for players who explore deep into the world (Room 998 Transposium Tinfoil Club).

“Early Access works because players keep telling us where the game can be better,” said Antti Ilvessuo, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Channel37. “They play for a long time, they find things we missed, and they are very clear about what they want more of. We listened, had this work ready while Update 6 was still cooking, so making people wait for it didn’t make sense. This is the second time we’ve added an extra update, and we’re happy we can keep surprising our players.”

Update 5.5: Deck Drop continues Channel37’s approach of expanding the world while also improving what is already there. Update 6 remains on track as the next major update for The Last Caretaker.

The Last Caretaker is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, currently discounted by 20% (now $27.99 / €23.99 / £21.59) through September 13.

Albion Online Dragonfire Update Out Now

News, Geek News, Mobile News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Albion Online, the free-to-play fantasy sandbox MMORPG developed by Sandbox Interactive has launched its latest major content update ‘Dragonfire’ today, unleashing Dragons onto the world of Albion for the first time. Players will contend with the lair of a huge Fire Dragon, face enemies known as The Ashborn, and explore a new realm called the Ancient Lands. The update is available across all platforms; PC, Xbox Series S|X, Android and iOS devices.

About Dragonfire

There’s plenty for players to explore with the launch of ‘Dragonfire’ and one of the biggest new features is The Ancient Lands, a completely new region offering exploration, PvE and PvP combat. Portals will appear throughout Albion, some for solo players and small groups, and some supporting parties of up to twenty players. After entering a portal, players will find themselves on a floating island and must progress by defeating mobs of enemies and unlocking keystones that allow teleporters to be activated.

Traversing the Ancient Lands will eventually lead players to four Drake Islands, where they’ll find rewards including Treasure Chests and Waystone Fragments that will help unlock access to an even deadlier area, the Dragon Sanctuary.

Only the toughest warriors who enter the Dragon Sanctuary will make it through, and those who do will come up against the most intense PvE challenge in Albion’s history; Azaryon, the Fire Dragon. But for those who are daring enough, defeating him can lead to the most valuable reward of them all; a Drake Egg that can be cared for and grown into a Firewing Drake mount to carry players across the world and strike terror into their enemies.

And it’s not just in the Dragon Sanctuary that players can face Dragons. They’ll also attack the open world, offering spontaneous encounters on the Royal Continent for everyone, as well as new high-level objectives for guilds in the Outlands.

The “Royal Hunt” Creator Event

Albion Online will mark the release of the Dragonfire update with a new creator contest, running until October 12. Following the success of their previous Crucible events, the Royal Hunt will see content creators forming guilds and competing to complete missions – including slaying Dragons. By doing so, they can earn giveaways for their communities, and the most successful will get exclusive, real-life Dragon Coins minted from genuine silver. See here for more info: https://albiononline.com/news/royal-hunt-begins

A full overview of the Dragonfire update is available on the official update page, and players can keep up to date with Albion Online on its website, X, YouTube, Discord, Facebook, and Twitch. Download the game for free on Microsoft Store, Steam, Epic Game Store, Apple App Store and Google Play.

Wolcen 2 – Official Reveal Trailer

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

This week at Future Games Show at gamescom 2026, Wolcen Studio announced the sequel to its award-winning 2020 isometric dark fantasy action RPG, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. Set years after the events of the first game, Wolcen 2 returns to a world on the brink of collapse. Playable solo or up to four-player co-op, players will master brutal combat, develop and customize weapon-based abilities, and channel dark, transformative powers in their quest to save reality.

The first Wolcen 2 playtest is now available exclusively through the Wolcen Studio Playtest Program. Players can register at https://contributors.wolcenstudio.com.

In Wolcen 2, enter a grim, dark fantasy world shaped by reality-bending powers. In your quest for freedom and redemption, you will encounter horrors beyond the rift that you can face alone, or with up to four players in co-op. Staying true to its predecessor, this hack-and-slash action RPG features no predefined classes. Choose the weapons that suit your preferred playstyle, then unlock, customize, and master their abilities. As you develop passive talents and collect gear that supports your choices, your character gradually grows into an archetype of your own making. Build a melee mage, spellblade, tank caster, gunslinger, or an archetype entirely your own. Your identity evolves through the choices you make.

Built From Lessons Learned

Wolcen 2 is being developed with the community that supported Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem for years, including an honest assessment of what did not work as intended. One major change is its approach to co-op. Multiplayer sessions use peer-to-peer connections, allowing players to host games directly rather than relying entirely on centralized servers. As long as the campaign remains playable, players will also be able to experience it together.

“We have learned a great deal from our community over the years, including how it feels when access to something you care about is taken away. That experience shaped Wolcen 2 from the beginning. By allowing players to host multiplayer sessions directly, playing the campaign with friends will not depend entirely on infrastructure controlled by us,” said Bogdan Oprescu, President of Wolcen Studio.

Key Features of Wolcen 2:

Experience a Story-Driven Campaign: The world is in turmoil. Anathea, the goddess who holds the Rift between reality and the demonic Void shut, has been mortally wounded. Forced out of exile, the Warlord, a bastard son of the Shadow God, and his companions become entangled in a prophecy that promises salvation but demands sacrifice. Joined by returning characters from Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, they must confront the fate laid out before them, or seek a more brutal path to preserve their freedom and save reality.
Every Choice Shapes Your Power: Your skills, weapons, passives, and equipment are designed to work together. Hunt for build-defining items, gather materials, and craft what your character needs. Experiment with mechanical synergies that can change how you fight, while clear and structured systems help you understand and refine every build.
Borne by Shadows: Fast, rhythmic combat throws you against waves of melee attackers, ranged threats, and powerful enemies. Chain abilities, set up devastating combinations, and tear through dense packs before confronting brutal bosses. When the odds turn, unleash your Shadow Form to overwhelm your enemies, reclaim control of the fight, and become something even demons fear.
Exiled Together: Embark on the ultimate quest for redemption alone or with up to three additional friends in co-operative play online.
After the Campaign: Wolcen 2’s story campaign is only the beginning. In Conquest, factions continue to fight for power across dynamic battlefields. The Tower of Wonders lets you pursue specific rewards while influencing the difficulty and outcome of each ascent. Both modes support long-term item searching, new builds, collection goals, and character growth beyond the final chapter of the story.
