You might have seen an RPG with a swashbuckling theme before, but guaranteed you haven't seen one that looks like Joker Studio's Sea of Remnants. Think of a haunted toy box belonging to a deranged puppeteer, and then add a bit of glam rock for good measure. It's the perfect vibe for the story of a sailor with no memories setting out to find a cursed location, and the adventure will arrive on PC and mobile in 2026.
"Our creative journey began with a spark of pure feeling—an emotional image that guided everything: 'If a puppet’s mind is soaked in water, memories slip away into the ocean, yet they still choose to return and sail again.' This early inspiration was both a playful nod to the Chinese saying “ 脑子进水” ('brain soaked with...

Fortnite has just wrapped up its latest explosive live event, detonating the Death Star looming over the Island and welcoming DC Comics hero Superman in the process.
Tonight's event, Death Star Sabotage, saw nearly 6 million players infiltrate the Empire's fully operational battle station that has hovered menacingly over the Fortnite battle royale Island throughout its Star Wars mini-season. Happily, and perhaps unsurprisingly, players were able to stop the station's deadly space laser from obliterating the game's map — although not without causing a bit of damage in the process.
As destruction rained down, the event's closing moments saw Superman arrive — presumably to try and help with clean up duties during the game's incoming...
So much of Dying Light is informed by the series’ melee-first design. Its impact can be seen in the damage system that causes its grotesque zombies to fall apart with every slash of your blade, as well as the weapon crafting, which turns household tools into hilariously impractical killing machines. And, of course, it influences the parkour movement, which allows you to keep well away from chewing teeth and clawing hands.
So what happens when you add guns to this close-quarters formula? And I don’t mean one or two rusty pistols, but a whole armoury stocked with shotguns, assault rifles, and plentiful ammo. That’s a question the next game in the series, Dying Light: The Beast, poses. The answer is not the obvious one. Far from...
During today's Summer Game Fest showcase, Square Enix took the spotlight to reveal a new social deduction game, Killer Inn.
Killer Inn is a murder mystery developed by Tactics Studio, where players are divided up into two teams, lambs and wolves, then dropped into a big mansion together. The goal of the wolves is to murder all the lambs, while the lambs' goal is to discover who the wolves are to put a stop to their murder spree.
Players explore the mansion, collecting survival tools, gear, and weapons from chests and merchants scattered throughout. Tokens can be collected from quest completion and spent to unlock certain chests for better gear. There are over 20 different characters to choose from, all with different abilities that...
Announced at Summer Games Fest, Chronicles: Medieval is an exciting freshman effort from brand new developer Raw Power Games. While this is their first title as a studio, the team is made up of legacy talent from games like Hogwarts Legacy, Hitman, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and more. The trailer debuted today gives a small taste of what Chronicles: Medieval is about, but we were able to take part in a special presentation to dive further into Raw Power Games’ ambitious history-carving title.
Set in 1313 AD Europe, players assume the role of a created character with little to no social influence on the world around them. It’s the player’s goal from the outset to take this character, perhaps just a lowly craftsman hailing from a no-name...

While IO Interactive stays hard at work on 007 First Light, the team made an appearance at Summer Game Fest 2025 to reveal another James Bond tribute that will see Hitman World of Assassination players taking out Mads Mikkelsen’s character from Casino Royale.
A trailer for the collaboration level was revealed today, showing Agent 47 as he heads to a new location to take out Le Chiffre, the iconic poker-playing villaint from 2006’s Casino Royale. This video game version of the character is even played by Mikkelsen himself, who returned to reprise his role as this latest Elusive Target, which is available right now.

Techland showed up for Summer Game Fest 2025 to announce a Dying Light: The Beast release date of August 22, 2025, for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.
The surprise puts the Dying Light spinoff out in just a few months, placing players back into the shoes of Kyle Crane following his absence in the 2022 sequel. It’s a release date announcement that comes with a fresh look at gameplay, as Techland teases some of the many, many ways players can beat, stab, and bash their way through hundreds of infected.
Dying Light: The Beast is a standalone story in Techland’s post-apocalyptic universe. It’s available for pre-order now, granting early purchasers access to exclusive items such as the Hero of...
For those excited for developer Neowiz’s highly anticipated Overture add-on content, the wait is over: the Lies of P DLC is out right now.
The post-launch story content for Neowiz’s Pinocchio soulslike was shadow-dropped for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S during Summer Game Fest 2025 today. It means you can stop what you’re doing right now and go play it for yourself without the need to wait for a release date announcement. You can see what lies in store with the gameplay trailer below.
Lies of P: Overture is an exciting addition to Neowiz’s dark fantasy universe, but it’s surprise launch isn’t much of a surprise. The shadow-drop reveal actually leaked earlier today.

Just announced at Summer Game Fest 2025, Lego Voyagers is an adorable-looking co-op game for two players from Light Studio, the developer of Lego Builder's Journey.
A soothing trailer showed two tiny brick characters — Red Brick and Blue Brick, as I'm calling them — work together to build, drive and sail through various Lego landscapes.
Lego Voyagers is set to launch sometime later in 2025 on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and offer a Split Fiction-style Friends Pass so two players can team up with just one copy of the game.
An accompanying press release describes the game as an adventure about friendship and play.
"When two friends make it their mission to rescue an abandoned spaceship, they embark on a...
If you’ve marion-yet to play the fantastic, Pinocchio-inspired soulslike Lies of P, then its first DLC expansion, Overture, is filled with finely polished reasons to do so. Though it's whittled from the same timber and sticks very closely to the original stage directions, this 12-hour encore has plenty of new (and still deeply depressing) areas to explore, some additional tools to carve baddies into kindling with, and more impressively menacing bosses to drop the curtain on. Plus, it does a great job fleshing out an already awesome story by tugging on a few strings that were left dangling in the base game and landing some surprising ventrilo-twists, renewing my appreciation for just how well this fib-filled tale made me care about its...
Embark Studios reappeared at Summer Game Fest 2025 to announce an Arc Raiders release date of October 30, 2025, for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S.
The release date was revealed alongside a new trailer today. The highly anticipated follow-up project to Embark’s The Finals will take a different route than fans of the developer may be used to. Instead of dropping players into a competitive, high-stakes FPS game show, Arc Raiders is a free-to-play, multiplayer extraction adventure game set in a sci-fi version of Earth that takes place far in the future.
More details about Arc Raider’s full launch will be revealed closer to its October release date. For more, be sure to read up on everything...
Atomic Heart 2 is currently in development at Mundfish, as shared today in an announcement at Summer Game Fest. Additionally, Mundfish also revealed The CUBE, a new multiplayer RPG shooter set in the Atomic Heart universe.
In a new trailer shown today, we got our first look at Atomic Heart 2, which is currently being worked on for both PC and console. Like its predecessor, it's an action-adventure FPS with RPG systems set in a retrofuturistic alternate-history. In a world intended to be a utopia for humans and their robot servants, advanced robotics and AI have gone rogue and torn society apart. Just before it all crumbles for good, the player steps in to stop the utter collapse of humanity.
As for The CUBE, it's set in the same...
In a surprising vampiric twist, we're getting a sequel to 2019's Code Vein. It is aptly titled Code Vein 2, and it's due out 2026 across PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S.
Publisher Bandai Namco said the debut trailer, below, introduces "a post-apocalyptic world where memories of loss echo across time and the fate of the Revenants and humanity hangs by a thread."
Expect dynamic action with strategic combat, explorable environments, intense boss battles, and memorable characters that drive the rich narrative forward, players are called to wield time itself as a weapon.
Here's the official blurb:
Code Vein was an anime soulslike action-RPG that launched in 2019. It earned a 7/10 from us for its "enthusiasm for mixing...
In a brand new trailer shown today at Summer Game Fest, we got our first listen of renowned voice actor Troy Baker in his latest role: a crime-solving mouse, the star of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire.
In MOUSE, Baker will play private investigator Jack Pepper, a war-hero-turned-detective, and yes, a mouse. The story begins when a cliche dame shows up at his door with a problem for him to solve, but his adventure grows and grows as he uncovers murder, corruption, and more throughout the city of Mouseburg.
MOUSE is a 3D, first-person shooter that's immediately visually striking for its classic cartoon visuals, similar to the retro style of Cuphead. It's inspired by 1930s noir films and looks the part.
Baker is known for his past work in...
Geoff Keighley kicked off Summer Game Fest 2025 with the announcement of Mortal Shell 2.
Cold Symmetry's Soulslike is due out at some point in 2026 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. It's a standalone sequel action-RPG with "adrenaline-charged, high-stakes combat."

With the Nintendo Switch 2 finally in my hands, naturally the first thing I set out to do was play the stuff that didn’t run great on the original Switch, just to see how much of an improvement the new console is. One at the top of the list was Hogwarts Legacy: an ambitious open-world game that really struggled on Switch. First, let's look back at why I loved it the first time around, when I reviewed it on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
What We Said About Hogwarts Legacy (2023)
In nearly every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG I’ve always wanted to play. Its open-world adventure captures all the excitement and wonder of the Wizarding World with its memorable new characters, challenging and nuanced combat, and a...
Our most recent sighting of Silent Hill f came during Sony's State of Play June 2025 showcase, and with it came our first look at Hinako in action. Literally.
For some, the emphasis on combat encounters may be surprising, as Silent Hill is a series that has tended to focus on environmental storytelling and psychological horror over combat. However, this latest trailer — the first we've seen to offer a meaningful glimpse at gameplay and combat — coupled with a new interview with producer Motoi Okamoto, suggest that our protagonist may have to endure a more physical experience.
"The game features unique combat," Okamoto said in a post on PlayStation Blog. "The encounters are as challenging as the obstacles that Hinako must overcome in...
Dune: Awakening was down for a couple of hours earlier today as Funcom applied a hotfix to help improve server stability and address a number of issues that have popped up since the game went live for "head start" players yesterday, June 5.
Top of the list was "improved server stability" — although there was no specifics — and a pop-up has been added so that when you click on the "Private" tab in the server browser, you'll be informed that these servers are managed externally. (For more about what you do and don't get when you rent a private server, we've got you covered).
As for the other fixes? Here you go…

T-Pain is making his grand debut in Fortnite today, June 6, and IGN can exclusively reveal the first look at his in-game character and details on his custom world that is "redefining Zone Wars gameplay" and giving players the ability to shrink down and battle across T-Pain's gaming setup, use food-powered abilities, and more.
T-Pain is making his arrival in Fortnite debut alongside Jack in the Box's Jack Box, and you can check out that first look of the pair in the slideshow below.
Among other exciting surprises, players will be able to look forward to the following in 'Jack Zone Wars';

Persona 4 Remake — one of the worst-kept secrets in video games — is reportedly set for an official reveal during Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase.
Both Windows Central and MP1st reported that the so-far unannounced game will finally get confirmed at the Xbox showcase this Sunday, June 8.
While Atlus’ Persona 4 Remake will be announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, it’s set for launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. A Nintendo Switch 2 version remains up in the air.
Persona 4 Remake has endured a number of remarkable leaks from voice actors who have said they are not in the game. Last month, three of the original voice actors said they weren’t coming back for Persona 4 Remake — despite Persona 4 Remake not being...
The bumper State of Play June 2025 showcase set a peak concurrent viewership record for Sony.
Sony kicked off the summer reveal season with a bang, presenting a smorgasbord of new games to whet our appetites going into Summer Games Fest Week, including peeks at 007 First Light, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Romeo is a Dead Man, and Silent Hill f.
According to Streams Charts, this week's State of Play peaked at over 2.2 million live viewers for the first time in the series’ history.

Only two Nintendo Direct presentations pulled in...
Elden Ring Nightreign developer FromSoftware has concluded a fresh round of server maintenance designed to improve matchmaking.
During the game’s launch weekend, FromSoftware acknowledged Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking issues and offered suggestions to players affected, including restarting the matchmaking process and, specifically on PlayStation 4 and 5, checking their NAT type.
Now, following server maintenance conducted on June 6 “to improve expedition matchmaking with an active Remembrance,” online functionalities have been restored, and fans are hoping for a better experience.
“Thank you for your patience, Nightfarers,” FromSoftware said. “Limveld awaits.”
Despite these issues, Elden Ring Nightreign sold 3.5 million copies...
Dune: Awakening isn't even properly out yet, but it has already set a concurrent player record on Steam of almost 100,000 players.
According to Steam's official stats, Dune: Awakening peaked at 93,634 concurrent players yesterday, June 5, even though the game only released for "head start" (read: early access) players who bought either the $69.99 Deluxe Edition or the $89.99 Ultimate edition. For everyone else, the game goes live on June 10, 2025.
Concurrent players isn't the only metric we should use when measuring how successful a game is, of course, but it's a good starting point, even though it doesn't account for players on other platforms (not that Dune: Awakening is available on other platforms just yet; the PS5 and Xbox Series...
Black Myth: Wukong, the action RPG inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, will finally make its way to Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 2025, exactly one year after it was released on PS5 and PC.
Xbox shared the news on Twitter/X, saying, "You are the Destined One. Black Myth: Wukong is coming August 20. Pre-order begins June 18!"
Black Myth: Wukong has been a megahit, as it has sold over 25 million copies as of January 31, 2025. However, its absence from Xbox Series X/S has always been notable since it was never billed outright as an exclusive.
There were sources who claimed the delay was due to a Sony exclusivity deal and not tech issues, but the boss of Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science, Fen Ji...
My old man is a stoic, rug-on-Valium kind of guy, and it takes a lot to make him shriek like a horror movie starlet. That said, I do recall seeing him on the verge of this as he clawed at the dash of my ‘86 Ford Laser during my very first L’s lesson. It would be the one and only father-son attempt we’d make. He gladly shelled out for professional lessons (and possibly therapy for himself) the next day.
Somehow, it’s now 30 years later, and that fond memory now terrifies me. Soon, I’ll have to repeat the exact same process, albeit riding shotgun as I watch my eldest son “drive.” To put that danger into sharper focus, he’s been raised on a diet of Burnout games and the drift-centric anime called Initial D.
Being an ideas man who...
