MindsEye developer Build A Rocket Boy has released a new trailer for the game, confirmed its $59.99 price tag, and revealed exactly what players can expect from launch in terms of content.
Build A Rocket Boy, led by former Rockstar North veteran Leslie Benzies, confirmed a June 10, 2025 release date for MindsEye for PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Here’s the official blurb:
Perhaps more interesting is MindsEye’s PC-only game creation system, which lets players build their own experiences using all the MindsEye assets.
The $59.99 price, the studio said, is “a refreshing departure from the standard $70~$80 AAA price tag.” But what, exactly, do you get for your $60?
At launch, there is of course the...

Monster Hunter Wilds director Yuya Tokuda has revealed what's coming up in the May 28 Ver. 1.011 update, including "an abundance of new features and changes to the game including a collaboration with Street Fighter 6."
In his latest Director's Letter, Tokuda said the team wanted "to provide more great content for you to enjoy as well as make various adjustments to make Monster Hunter Wilds even more fun to play," including new challenger, Street Fighter's Akuma. You'll get a full Arkuma armor set as well as layered armor, and whenever you have either set equipped, three items will be added to your item bar — assisted combo Akuma, Drive Impact, and Gou Hadoken (you can find out more about them on the official Monster Hunter website)...
Blacktail developer Parasight has announced Davy x Jones, a new first-person action-adventure game for PC and consoles where you play as infamous pirate Davy Jones. The catch? You're headless, and you'll wield that severed skull – along with plenty of weapons – as you seek your revenge against Blackbeard.
Yes, you've been betrayed, robbed, and beheaded, but when you awaken in a pirate hell, you'll make your way through with your sword, gun, and sharp severed wit. Loot treasure across "nine islands floating on an infinite sea of clouds" while also piloting Abby, your half-ship, half-whale that serves as your base, artillery, and ally. And yes, you can absolutely fire devastating cannons at your opponents.
“If you've ever dreamed of...
Anecdotally, it’s been said that in its native Japan, Dragon Quest is more popular than Final Fantasy, which is more popular abroad. This is most obvious for any fans of fantasy anime who will find Dragon Quest’s undeniable influence over the genre, from monster designs like Slimes to other fantasy tropes pioneered by the early Dragon Quest games.
As someone who grew up primarily in the United States, I’m in the camp of gamers more familiar with the Final Fantasy series, with only a passing familiarity with Dragon Quest. Plus, while newer entries like Dragon Quest 11 have been rapturously received by fans, it’s the older Dragon Quest games that hold that certain air of history and mystique for someone like me who’s more interested in...

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 21st of the one that started it all, Monster Hunter. In 2004 I caught excited whispers and game mag glimpses of a waking giant on the horizon. The fuzzy intel received: Capcom would be releasing a Japanese-only PS2 game where one tracked and killed kaiju in epic battles of attrition. An impulse import purchase was made...

You ever wonder who the first person to put peanut butter and chocolate together was? Part of me feels like whoever it was must be loaded; I mean, you’ve combined two already great flavors into something that Reese’s would more or less build a whole brand on. And then part of me thinks it plays out like the hypothetical guy who invented the Chicken McNugget in The Wire. A pat on the back from a big shot, and then it’s back to the basement to figure out a way to make the fries taste better. I don’t know the answer; I hope it's the former. But every now and then, you come across an idea, a combination of things, that’s so good that you wonder how nobody’s ever done it before. And every time my squad and I sprinted back to our...
Dragon Age star Alix Wilton Regan has given her personal response to the backlash faced by last year's Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and blamed the "mixed reactions" on people who "wanted to see the game fail, or wanted to see [BioWare] fail."
The actor, who plays the Female Inquisitor in both Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, told IGN that she was "absolutely devastated" to see BioWare's latest game fail to find a larger audience, despite mostly positive review scores from critics.
Speaking during a new interview discussing her many iconic video game characters to date — as well as her role in Microsoft's upcoming Perfect Dark reboot — Wilton Regan said she had loved her time as BioWare's Inquisitor, though did not...
Warner Bros. has confirmed what Mortal Kombat 1 fans feared after the recent launch of the Definitive Edition: no new DLC characters or story chapters will be released for the game.
Mortal Kombat 1 has sold 5 million copies, with the franchise now up to 100 million. Mortal Kombat 11 became the best-selling game in the franchise by passing Mortal Kombat X's nearly 11 million units sold worldwide soon after launch. By 2022, Mortal Kombat 11 had sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. Clearly, Mortal Kombat 1 has underperformed compared to previous games in the series.
In a tweet on the official Mortal Kombat social media account, Warner Bros. acknowledged the disappointment the news will cause players, "but our team at NetherRealm...
Hot off the heels of Palia, a great life sim that just consumed dozens of hours of my life, I actually can’t believe I’ve been sucked into yet another one only a few days later. With its witty writing and seemingly endless supply of charm, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has already stolen plenty of mine. The characters and story so far are both wonderfully goofy and much more substantial than I’m used to seeing in this genre, the RPG-like Life system of leveling up various jobs is really easy to get lost in, and it seems to have nailed the balance between day-in-the-life cozy activities and more action-packed exploration to the point where it’s really hard to predict what might happen next. I’m still pretty early on in what’s...
The boom time continues at Warhammer 40,000 maker Games Workshop, which has announced it’s handing out £20 million (approx. $27 million) to its staff as a bonus.
The Nottingham, UK company behind the Warhammer tabletop games and their expansive settings, said that for the 52 weeks ending June 1, 2025, core revenue was £560 million, up from the £494.7 million in the previous period. Licensing revenue was £50 million, up from £31 million. Core profit is £210 million, up from £174.8 million, and licensing profit is £45 million, up from £27 million. That amounts to profit before tax of £255 million, up from £203 million.
Off the back of those huge profits, and “in recognition of our staff’s contribution to these results,” Games Workshop...
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is out, and it's already quite popular. In light of this, Level-5 has announced some free DLC is on the way, in recognition of the new Fantasy Life's positive reception.
Announced on the Level-5 site, the developer has confirmed free DLC is coming to Fantasy Life i. While no release date is set yet, the team is teasing some new recipes, as well as new content to "update the world" (via Gematsu). It will also apparently allow players to utilize high-rarity weapons obtained from Treasure Groves and other sources.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time went live for early access on May 18, with its full launch on May 21. It quickly climbed the Steam charts and started drawing players in, whether...
Even though S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy - Enhanced Edition released on May 20 offering free "fully remastered and optimized" upgrades for all owners of the original trilogy, developer GSC Game World has been under siege by a review bomb campaign after players discovered the Russian voice acting and "Soviet-era" landmarks had been quietly removed.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy - Enhanced Edition includes remastered versions of Shadow of Chornobyl (2007), Clear Sky (2008), and Call of Prypiat (2009) with upgraded visuals, next-gen console optimizations, and expanded mod support. However, shortly after release, all games plummeted to a "mostly negative" rating on Steam as players flooded the review section to...
With two decades on the clock since its initial release in June 2005, EA’s Battlefield 2 still occupies a place of fondness in the hearts of PC gamers who have been initiated with its heady quality – and for good reason, too. Certainly, it’s no coincidence that with the release of every new Battlefield title, […]

Elden Ring Nightreign will soon let players drop into the shifting lands of Limveld, exploring and fighting for survival either solo or in groups of three. For the duos out there though, it sounds like you'll need to be open to a third.
In IGN's interview with Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki, the Nightreign lead discussed the choice to lean on solos and trios as the core experience options. When asked why there's no option for a pair of players to drop in together without a matchmade third player, Ishizaki said it was overlooked.
"The simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we're very sorry about that," said Ishizaki. "As we said before, we set...
Though a quick look around the PC gaming scene might suggest that third-person actioners with an emphasis on melee combat are hardly rarified air, Stellar Blade from Korean developer Shift Up stands out from the crowd on account of being a rather special offering. From its ultra-glossy visual presentation and extraordinarily satisfying combat through to […]

Square Enix has dropped an update for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, improving boat travel speed, critical hit rates and abilities, and introducing a new shortcut button that lets you map spells and abilities to specific buttons.
As detailed on Steam, update Ver. 1.2.0.0 specifically addresses issues with three key areas: traversal, vocations, and battle. For the former, Square Enix said it had increased the movement speed when travelling by boat or using Ramia, as well as ensured that if you open the menu while travelling, you won't see your travel speed continually reset every time.
You'll also find that critical hit rates for the Hero and Martial Artist have been increased, and The Hero's Falcon Slash and Gigaslash abilities, as well...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive has said it has no plans to increase the maximum party size of three players for co-op, despite modders getting 12-player co-op up and running recently.
Space Marine 2 limits squads to three players for PvE Operations, but it was hoped that this might increase for the upcoming horde mode, dubbed Siege.
Not so, Tim Willits, Chief Creative Officer at developer Saber Interactive, told IGN in an exclusive Space Marine 2 interview to discuss the Siege mode. Willits said upping the player count to four for co-op made Operations missions too easy.
“As we’ve mentioned in a past interview, sticking to three players for PvE game modes (including Siege Mode) has to do with the...
Just days after losing its two-year-old objection to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the U.S.'s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has officially dropped its case.
The FTC’s appeal to block Microsoft’s $69 billion deal to acquire the company behind Call of Duty was denied by San Francisco’s 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on May 7, further cementing the purchase that was originally announced in late 2022. It was a move decided by a three-judge panel that brought an end to the FTC’s questioning of the July 2023 decision to allow Microsoft to finalize its purchase.
As we summarized at the time, Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard has faced scrutiny from across the board for more than three years, both in the...
Japan may be the birthplace and spiritual hub of drifting culture, but Poland is home to the incredible Bartosz Ostalowski. After losing both arms in an accident, he became a pro drifter and is the only professional sports driver in the world who steers with his foot. So yes, on paper, sure, it’s perhaps a little incongruous that JDM: Japanese Drift Master has been conceived and crafted in Central Europe. But it’s not unprecedented, and a simple matter of geography was clearly not going to stop Warsaw-based developer Gaming Factory putting together this reverential ode to the Japanese art of turning corners sideways, belching white smoke and looking cool while doing it. JDM is a good drift racer, with a weighty and approachable handling...
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 might be enjoying a player resurgence, but fans shouldn't expect a Battlefront 3 announcement anytime soon.
That's according to a former employee who worked on Star Wars: Battlefront 2's live operations at developer DICE, who has been responding to player questions on reddit.
Star Wars: Battlefront 2, originally released in 2017, has seen its player count rise rapidly since the start of this month, fuelled by the franchise's annual May 4 celebrations and the critically-acclaimed return of Star Wars TV series Andor.
The game's renewed popularity has fans clamouring for more — and to be fair, after eight years, you might expect publisher EA to have something up its sleeve. But, according to former live...
As we sneak ever-closer to the August release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has released the stealth game's opening movie.
Though there are some gentle deviations, it should nonetheless both look and sound instantly familiar to fans of the original, from the moment the newspapers appear on screen and the James Bond-esque title song, reprised by original performer Cynthia Harrell, kicks in.
The video teases several moments in the game itself — albeit without the context, of course — including Snake leaping backwards like an Olympic diver off the side of a waterfall, and Snake the Snake Eater eating a snake. So that's nice.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of Konami's 2004 action espionage game of the...
It's been mere hours since a live-action Elden Ring movie was revealed to be in the works, and already, fans are making their views — both positive and negative — known.
Debates have sprung up on all aspects of the production, from the decision to make a film, not a TV show, the choice of its writer and director — Alex Garland directed Ex Machina and Civil War — and whether the story, which is considerably convoluted, should be focused on the Tarnished, the demigods themselves, or something else entirely. A Song of Ice and Fire writer George R. R. Martin, who wrote Game of Thrones and helped create Elden Ring's world, is attached as a producer on the movie, as is Vince Gerardis.
"Sigh why? No one ask[ed] for this keep FromSoftware...
Starfield has a new patch and a new achievement-friendly Creation that’s helping to fill the official DLC void, but fans are still waiting for Bethesda to announce its next expansion and a PS5 release date.
Watchtower is the latest Starfield Creation from professional RPG modding studio Kinggath Creations, who published Fallout 4's acclaimed mod series Sim Settlements. It adds a new, fully voiced story, a new faction, and new quests to the sci-fi RPG, and Bethesda is even promoting it on its official channels. There’s even a trailer:
The patch, meanwhile, adds additional support for Creations so Creations up to 2GB can be uploaded, as well as numerous fixes for quests, vehicles, UI, and the Shattered Space DLC. There’s Very Low...

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 19th birthday of Metroid Prime: Hunters while remembering the mild carpal tunnel it gave me. Developed for the newly minted DS, its standout innovation was the incorporation of stylus-driven aiming paired with six-player ad-hoc wireless multiplayer, allowing us hunters to engage in fast-paced, Phazon-fueled deathmatches on the go. By...
A live-action Elden Ring movie is in the works from Ex Machina and Civil War director Alex Garland, Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 announced Thursday.
A film based on FromSoftware and Bandai Namco’s massive RPG hit is now confirmed to have the filmmaker attached not only to serve as its director but as its writer, too.
Plot, casting details or a release date for the Elden Ring movie have yet to be announced.
George R. R. Martin, who helped create the original Elden Ring, is attached as a producer on the movie, as is Vince Gerardis.
DNA’s Peter Rice will also produce, along with Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA. There’s no word yet on how involved game developer FromSoftware will be.

Pro tip: When a fossilized dragon asks you to follow it, you say "Yes." That's how you start your brand-new life — lives, even — in LEVEL5's new simulation RPG, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time introduces you to a mysterious island that's covered in ruins. A gaping void in the center of the island suggests a disaster of some kind erased the civilization that thrived there a thousand years ago. You must travel through time between the past and present to determine the nature of the calamity and solve what happened to the island's citizens.
But what's the rush? A mystery that's laid fallow for a millennium doesn't need a quick solution. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a warm...
The first item I ever picked up in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon that wasn’t clothing or weapons was smut. I know what you’re thinking. “Will, you degenerate, of course it was smut. We know all about you, bro.” Listen. I didn’t know it was smut. But I learned real quick. I found it in what looked like the guard’s break area after I was busted out of my cell. I don’t remember what happened next; there was a drawing of a very pretty woman, and then I read the phrase “love apples” and blacked out. But I’m getting ahead of myself – let me back up a bit and tell you about my experience with this fun but familiar open-world RPG so far.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a reimagining of Arthurian myth. When his homeland is overwhelmed...
