GSC Game World has announced that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has officially gone gold. This means the game is done, and a master copy has been sent for mass production (the game will be released on physical discs for Xbox, in addition to digital). In theory, this means no more delays are in order, although there's a famous precedent: CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077, which was confirmed to have gone gold on October 5, 2020, ahead of its planned November 19, 2020 launch date. However, on October 27, the Polish developer was forced to announce a short delay to […]

As teased by various rumors, a new Gears was indeed announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, but it's actually titled Gears of War: E-Day. The in-engine trailer shows Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago dealing with the Locust menace for the first time ever on Emergency Day. As such, it can be considered a prequel to the previous games.

Today, during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, Obsidian Entertainment did not announce the release date for Avowed, its first-person action RPG for PC and Xbox Series S|X, which remains slated for a generic 2024 window. However, at least we got a new trailer. As you might recall, the game was first unveiled at the 2020 Showcase with a CGI teaser trailer highly reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which showed a darker art style and dual wielding of spells and weapons. Indeed, it looks like that was the original pitch made by Obsidian, but the project went through a […]
A new Fable trailer was shared today, providing the first proper look at the gameplay years after its original announcement. The new trailer, which was shared during today's Xbox Games Showcase, shows a more cinematic direction than previous entries in the series. This is made even better by the amazing visuals and the density of the town of Bowerstone. The trailer also shows some quick combat sequences, which, despite their short length, looked good enough. What does it mean to be a Hero? Humphry, once one of the greatest, will be forced out of retirement when a mysterious figure from […]

The official reveal trailer, which was shown during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, provides the first look at the game's seven companions, who will all have some rather unique backstories. When corrupt gods break free from centuries of darkness, the odds will be stacked against you. You can't do this alone. Rally a team of seven companions, each with rich lives and deep backstories. These are characters to befriend, […]
A new State of Decay 3 trailer was shared today, providing a new look at the third entry in the series in development by Undead Labs. The new trailer, which was shown during today's Xbox Games Showcase 2024, focuses on both story and gameplay, showing how the game is indeed coming along rather well, as teased last month. Unfortunately, neither a release nor even a release window was confirmed in today's trailer, so we don't know exactly when the game will be released. Set years after a zombie apocalypse nearly wiped out humankind, State of Decay 3 is the next […]
