The upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) has generated excitement among students at OH and gamers worldwide in the lead up to its release on Nov. 19, 2026. Developed by Rockstar Games, the highly anticipated game has attracted attention for its improved graphics, open-world environment, and new gameplay features.
After years of anticipation and delays, players are eager to see whether GTA VI will live up to expectations. OH students have different reasons for looking forward to the release, from exploring the game’s map to experiencing improvements in its mechanics.
OH senior Ethan Pilip said, “I’m interested in GTA VI because of the graphics in the open world and the freedom to do different things that GTA V didn’t have.”
When you think of popular games in the 2010s, your mind may go to Tomodachi Life, a social simulator game for the 3DS. With its wide customization of “Mii” characters, ranging from different hairstyles, faces, and even a new face paint tool to free-hand any custom designs.
With an island for your Mii’s to roam around, talk to others, and decide that a lightpost is necessary in the middle of the beach.
Nintendo decided that with the release of the Switch 2, it may be time for the game to have a sequel, and to revive the old fanbase left behind. But was this a good choice? On Apr. 12, the internet took a storm as Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was leaked, with the planned release date being the 16th.
Our Pokémon protagonist seems to be a little off this time around.
The Pokémon game formula is a tried and true method, and exhibits few variations across generations. Since the very first release of Red and Green in 1996, the gameplay has been about the same: a protagonist at the ripe age of eleven sets off on a grand journey to defeat the gym leaders of the region and become the Pokémon champion.
“I have played pretty much every Pokémon game, including spin-offs, and this game is such an amazing deviation from the usual money-hungry formula,” said OH senior Kayden Rudny.
Almost five years after Forza Horizon 5 came out, fans finally have the next game in this series.
The long-awaited Horizon 6 is coming out on May 19 for everyone, and on May 15 for those with the premium addition. Also, for those who pre-order it, players will receive a 2017 Ferrari J50.
Fans have been waiting what feels like ages for the game to take place in Japan, and it's finally here. There's nothing wrong with the locations of the previous games, but having the map set in Japan will be a dream come true for many car enthusiasts.
Tomorrow, the new Resident Evil Requiem will be released after being announced by Capcom July 2024. Directed by Koshi Nakanishi, who previously directed Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the game was officially unveiled at Summer Game Fest in June 2025.
Resident Evil Requiem is a single-player survival horror game in which the player assumes the role of FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and DSO agent Leon S. Kennedy, with the game alternating between the two characters throughout the story. Grace's sections are more focused on survival horror with limited resources that require the player to be more cautious in encounters.
Resident Evil Requiem commemorates the series' 30th anniversary. Former OH student Dylan Hospes said, “Resident Evil has come a long way since the days of 10 controls. The evolution of technology has made the game seem more realistic and scary. The series became more action-focused, then returned to its horror roots.”
