Star Wars Outlaws, the upcoming open-world action-adventure from Massive Entertainment set in a Galaxy Far, Far Away, is slated to be the biggest game of the summer, and today during the Ubisoft Forward showcase, we got a fresh look at the game in action. The new gameplay footage mostly focuses on the game’s expansive world and the activities you’ll encounter there, including a visit to Tatooine and Mos Eisley, including the infamous cantina. Interestingly, unlike your typical open-world game, it seems you don’t improve your skills in Star Wars Outlaws by gaining XP, but rather, by tracking down “experts” who […]

Earlier this year, Xbox finally gave us a first peek at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the new first-person action-adventure under development at Wolfenstein developer under the watchful eye of producer Todd Howard. That first trailer certainly got tongues wagging, and delivered plenty of the puzzle solving and derring-do the series is known for, but, of course, fans wanted more. Well, today at the Xbox Games Showcase, we got a new Indiana Jones and the Great Circle trailer, which largely focuses on a scene set in the Himalayas. It looks like Great Circle has received a bit of a […]
Note: This is a developing story. More info about Perfect Dark will be added soon. Xbox’s new Perfect Dark project has been one of the biggest outstanding questions this generation. In development for around six years at new “AAAA” studio The Initiative, with Crystal Dynamics pitching in to help since 2021, the new Perfect Dark has largely remained sequestered in the shadows, and we’ve received multiple reports the project is in a “rough state.” Well, today during the Xbox Games Showcase we got a first look at the new Perfect Dark in action, and it seems like it’s actually coming […]
Note: This is a developing story. More Doom: The Dark Ages details will be added soon. It’s time to go medieval on some demon asses. Over the past few weeks, rumors emerged that a reveal for the next entry in the Doom series was imminent, and today at the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft and id Software revealed Doom: The Dark Ages. They also revealed a [x] release date for the game. As the title implies, Doom: The Dark Ages is taking a full-on fantasy approach. We seem to be playing a s new version of the Doomslayer, or at least […]
This year’s Summer Game Fest show may not have had as many big reveals as some past iterations (although there was a notable reveal or two) but the show did culminate in a pretty impressive trailer for the upcoming PS5 console exclusive Phantom Blade Zero. The trailer features some eye-popping Unreal Engine 5 visuals, big, bad bosses, and some downright-frantic action – the swords are flying fast and furious in the one. Check the Phantom Blade Zero trailer for yourself, below. Looking pretty damn good, if a bit familiar in terms of style. Need to know more about Phantom Blade […]
We’ve known since the launch of Alan Wake 2 that Remedy was preparing two pieces of story DLC for the game, but now we’ve finally laid eyes on the first expansion. Alan Wake 2: Night Springs focuses on the in-universe late night TV show Night Springs, essentially the Alan Wake version of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and other similar shows. The first trailer for Alan Wake 2: Night Springs, revealed during the Summer Game Fest kickoff show, leaves no doubt that we’re diving even deeper down the series’ weird multimedia rabbit hole. The DLC will include three “episodes,” each […]
Note: This is a developing story. More info about Civilization VII will be added soon. While a number of other games have attempted to fill the gap in recent years, 4X strategy fans are remain hungry for another serving of Civilization. While Civilization VI has been a major success, the game is nearly eight years old at this point – while Firaxis has always made players wait for new entries in their legendary series, it’s never been this bad before. Well, it’s time to rewrite history all over again, because at the Summer Game Fest kickoff show, Civilization VII was […]
Note: This is a developing story. More info about Lego Horizon Adventures will be added soon. There have been a lot of Lego crossover games released over the years, but typically they focus on IP that originated outside of gaming (Star Wars, Batman, The Avengers, ect.)

Last week, Sony finally pulled the curtain back on Firewalk Studios’ new hero shooter Concord, and now they’ve provided some more details about pricing, editions, launch content, and more.

Sony his promising that Concord will launch with “16 playable Freegunners, 12 unique maps set on various worlds, and six distinct team-based game modes” and that post-launch content updates will be free. Presumably, there will be some sort of cosmetic purchasing scheme, and likely regular battle […]
Geoff Keighley has cautioned fans that this year’s Summer Game Fest kickoff show won’t have as many “shocking announcements” as in the past, although it seems like this may be a case of ol’ Geoff cannily managing expectations so he can exceed them. We already know a lot of exciting horror-related reveals are slated for Summer Game Fest, and according to a new rumor, the next entry in the Borderlands series may also be making its big debut this Friday. This rumor comes courtesy of relatively new leaker Kurakasis, who has delivered some accurate information recently, with the backing of […]
