Onimusha is officially back. Capcom announced that the classic action series, which last received a proper sequel on the PlayStation 2, is getting a new entry on modern consoles.
The first trailer was shown during The Game Awards 2024, revealing a dark fantasy action game that bears a resemblance to popular Soulslike games. It's being developed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam and is set to release in 2026.
"A lone samurai steps forth—his blade sharpened, soul anew. The Onimusha series by Capcom reawakens with Onimusha: Way of the Sword, a brand new title coming in 2026," the official description reads.
The original Onimusha: Warlords was released in 2001 and received a remaster in 2019. We wrote in our original review...
Today at The Game Awards 2024, Pocketpair brought a brand new trailer for Palworld showing off the game's previously-teased next expansion, entitled Feybreak. Feybreak is scheduled to arrive very soon, on December 23, 2024.
Feybreak was teased just last month, referred to as the "largest, harshest, and most mysterious" island added to Palworld so far. It's supposedly six times bigger than Sakurajima, the last new island added. And it's coming ahead of a planned crossover with indie game Terraria, which is expected in 2025.
We were fans of Palworld when it first came out in early access, giving it an 8/10 and saying that while it "may crib quite a bit from Pokemon's homework," its "deep survival mechanics and a hilarious attitude make...
Yakuza / Like a Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has revealed Project Century at The Game Awards 2024, a new action game set in 1915 with some absolutely fantastic vibes.
Despite a pretty lengthy trailer, we don't actually know much about what Project Century is. It looks kind of like a classic Yakuza action game, with a tough guy protagonist walking around what we probably can safely assume is Japan, beating people up. But this is much gorier than we're used to seeing, the protagonist seems to be a mystery man we haven't met before, and the Japan we're exploring seems to have some sort of alt-history stuff going on? Neat!
Fans will likely be surprised at the announcement given RGG Studio only revealed its last game in...
Turok is back, but the famous dinosaur hunter is looking a little different. At Thursday's Game Awards, Saber Interactive officially announced Turok: Origins — a "new evolution" of the classic dinosaur-hunting franchise that first debuted on the Nintendo 64 and PC in 1997.
In a marked shift for the franchise, Turok: Origins will feature third-person action instead of being a first-person shooter. Additionally, multiplayer will be fully integrated into its main campaign, with Turok supporting up to three players via co-op.
Turok: Origins' title hero will don a high-tech "biomorphic suit" that allows him to use DNA captured from enemies, which grant him abilities like the power to summon lightning. It will feature semi-open...
It’s official: FromSoftware is making a multiplayer Elden Ring spin-off. One of the biggest announcements at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is sure to shock fans of FromSoftware’s Souls games. This three-player PvE game is unlike anything the legendary developer has made before, and it’s fair to say it’ll raise more than a few eyebrows across the internet.
Ahead of the game’s reveal, IGN’s Tristan Ogilvie got the chance to play Elden Ring Nightreign (check out our impressions here) and interview game director Junya Ishizaki to find out where this surprise departure from the hugely successful Souls formula came from, how it all fits in with Elden Ring itself, and whether it should be considered a live service game.

In case you hadn't heard, The Game Awards are happening. And to help celebrate the medium we all love, Amazon is running a sale that coincides with the festivities. You can save a bunch of money on a trio of excellent games: Final Fantsy VII Rebirth, Silent Hill 2, and Star Wars Outlaws. And if you're still on the fence about picking up a Meta Quest 3S, Amazon is throwing in $100 in digital credit if you buy one. These are great deals, but they'll only be available for a limited time, and in limited quantities.
The Game Awards Sale
The PS5 version of Star Wars Outlaws is already gone, so grab any of these deasl while they're available. In case there's any doubt about how good these games and this hardware is, let's take a look at our...
From the discovery of sprawling, subterranean otherworlds to the startling second phases that completely turned the tables in so many of its boss fights, 2022’s Elden Ring was a mesmerising action RPG adventure that surprised players at almost every turn. Now, more than two years later it appears that developer FromSoftware isn’t done with pulling the rug out from under the feet of its fanbase just yet, with the surprise reveal of Elden Ring Nightreign, a standalone co-op spin-off that takes the cautious dungeon crawls of Elden Ring and turbocharges them into propulsive, slash ‘n’ dash speedruns. After spending some six hours of hands-on time with this bold new spin on FromSoftware’s own Soulslike formula, I can confirm that Nightreign...
After both teases and leaks, Hazelight Studios' new game, Split Fiction, has been officially revealed at The Game Awards.
Director of Hazelight Studios Josef Fares was on hand to rapidly explain several features of his team's upcoming co-op adventure, which stars two aspiring writers who inadvertently wind up inside the same simulation of one of their stories. Discovering their stories are about to be stolen by a sinister tech company, they need to figure out how to escape "through the very worlds that they created."
With each level jumping between a sci-fi world and a fantasy world, Split Fiction also promises unique mechanics for every level, including dragons that emerge as hatchlings before growing into "full-ass dragons" that...
Gearbox Software has revealed the first gameplay footage for Borderlands 4 as part of a brand-new trailer shown at The Game Awards 2024.
Following on from Borderlands 4's initial reveal at Gamescom, the new trailer offered fans a glimpse of what to expect from the hotly-anticipated sequel. Among other things it showed snippets of first-person shooting and a few returning characters, including Claptrap.
Here's the official blurb from Gearbox:
Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford heavily teased the trailer in the run-up to The Game Awards, promising that it would include a "never-been-seen original cinematic sequence depicting a moment that occurs about halfway between the end of Borderlands 3 and the beginning of Borderlands...
After several years of silence, Obsidian has reemerged with a new trailer for The Outer Worlds 2, giving us our first look at gameplay and confirmation that it'll be arriving on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Game Pass in 2025.
Watch the trailer below:
The Outer Worlds 2 was first announced in 2021 as part of...wow, here's a throwback, the last-ever E3. At the time, we didn't know much, just that the game would feature a similar sense of humor to its predecessor. There's a bit of that in this new trailer, with the voiceover telling fans to "get ready for an adventure that took three times longer to make but will almost certainly be two times bigger."
Otherwise, we just got a quick look at gameplay that's pretty similar...
I went in almost completely blind to my meeting with Josef “F*ck the Oscars!” Fares to play his new game, Split Fiction. I knew the title, and I knew that it was, to no one’s surprise, another co-op game, as has become his calling card after Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, A Way Out, and It Takes Two. That’s it. So when he fired up the build, put one of the controllers in my hand, and we started to play it together, I was probably as surprised as you were when you watched the reveal trailer at The Game Awards. It’s absolutely nothing like his previous games – thematically and most definitely visually – and it’s clear that with each new game, Fares and his team at Hazelight are giving players more and more agency over what’s happening on...
Developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco have announced Elden Ring Nightreign, a standalone co-operative spin-off set in a world parallel to that of 2022’s Elden Ring.
Revealed with its debut trailer at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign allows players to team up with two co-op partners and drop into a condensed map based on Elden Ring’s Limgrave area, with enemies and structures that are randomised at the start of each session.
From there, players must hustle to defeat enemy camps and find more powerful weapons, so that when nightfall comes they have a better chance of surviving a challenging boss encounter. If players survive for three in-game days, they must take on a major boss, with eight major bosses to be...
Game design legend Warren Spector is known for pioneering the “immersive sim” genre – most famously the original Deus Ex, with Ultima Underworld paving the way prior to that – but now he wants to modernize it in a way he’s never tried before: multiplayer. The result is Thick as Thieves, a four-player, session-based PvPvE stealth-action game that harkens back to the original 1998 single-player stealth classic Thief: The Dark Project while adding elements (like cross-play across PC and consoles, for example) that modern audiences expect.
“We wanted to create a game that was stealth-action, and not just stealth with slower pacing, ” Spector explained. The Austin-development-scene fixture is joined by fellow industry veteran Greg...
The Next Game From the Developer of Sifu Is an Online Multiplayer Soccer Game - The Game Awards 2024
Sloclap is going in an unexpected direction with its Sifu follow-up: an online multiplayer soccer game called Rematch.
Sifu is a beat 'em up set in China that revolves around cool martial arts action. Unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, Rematch is a new arcade take on soccer due out in the summer of 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. A beta is planned for the spring.
The Paris-based Sloclap, big fans of soccer and of course the French national team, has created a short, fast-paced 5v5 match experience that uses a third-person camera rather than a fixed camera. The debut trailer is below:
As you can see from the footage, Rematch is set in caged virtual reality arenas, with no fouls and thus no penalties, no offsides...
Secret Level's Pac-Man episode is getting its very own game. Titled Shadow Labyrinth, it picks up the story of the darker and edgier version of the classic Bandai Namco character.
Like the Secret Level episode, you take the role of a character running a maze; their only goal being to "eat." Based on the trailer, it looks to be a Metroidvania — a marked shift for the classic franchise.
Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada is among the developers involved with the development of Shadow Laybrinth, which is being made using Unity. Bandai Namco tells IGN that Shadow Labyrinth has been in development for about four years and that the Secret Level episode was made in conjunction with the game.
We admittedly weren't the biggest fans of the...

Ninja Gaiden has returned as a new 2D side-scrolling action platformer called Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.
Revealed at The Game Awards 2024 with the trailer, below, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound sees new character Kenji Mozu face off against a demonic army. It's published by Dotemu (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge's) and developed by Blasphemous maker The Game Kitchen under licence from Koei Tecmo.
Dotemu said Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is based on the NES version of Ninja Gaiden. Here's the official blurb:
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is due out summer 2025 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. Be sure to check out IGN's round-up of everything announced at The Game Awards 2024 for more on what's coming to the...
Thank your own personal deity—possibly trickster God Sun Wukong—it's Friday! As per always, I'm going to get your weekend started right with a bunch of price slashes. If I don't see you, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 21st birthday of Outrun 2, the closest Sega got to arcade racer perfection. Essentially, the essence of the 1986 original—going flat out in a Ferrari with some rad tunes on your radio, a romantic prospect riding shotgun, and branching scenery whipping past—was modernised with a new emphasis on sublime drifting and six more prancing ponies in your stable. My mates and I spent a ludicrous amount of coins in the multiplayer-linked cabinets of this. It's a sin that the ports...
Anime Last Stand developer Boss Studio is back with the Fate/Stay Night Inspired update, which adds a new Legend Stage, six new units, major lag fixes, and more to the Roblox tower defense experience.
The latest update and its patch notes made its way to Roblox players yesterday. It’s yet another update that comes with new content to mull over, but the most substantial change lies with the adjustments to the battle pass. The team says players will now receive “much better rewards” with the pass, which also now consists of 100 tiers to complete.
Anime Last Stand’s latest update also comes with three new units – King of Heroes (Celestial), Archer of Red (Mythic), and Rogue Lancer (Mythic) – as well as three new evolutions – King of...
Former Bungie director Chris Barrett is suing PlayStation and Bungie for more than $200 million, denying allegations of sexual misconduct and claiming that his firing was intended to avoid paying out nearly $50 million owed under his employment agreement. IGN has reached out to Sony and Bungie for comment.
The 81-page lawsuit lays out seven counts against Bungie and SIE, including Family and Medical Leave Act [FMLA] retaliation, defamation, and breach of contract. Barrett is seeking at least $100 million in defamation damages in addition to more than $90 million for money owed under retention agreements, alleged Washington Rebate Act [WRA] violations, and other compensation.
Reports emerged earlier this year that Barrett, a Bungie...

Intel is finally heading into its second generation of dedicated graphics cards with the Intel Arc B580. And while the company could have fallen into a trap of trying to compete with Nvidia and AMD at the high end, Team Blue instead has created one of the best budget graphics cards on the market right now. At $249, the Arc B580 is cheaper than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and slots in right next to the Radeon RX 7600. However, because both of these cards are based on older technology, it’s little wonder that Intel is able to eke out a lead.
It’s refreshing to see a flagship graphics card aim for the masses, rather than holding a prohibitively expensive price tag that very few can actually afford. And while there are a couple games...
Secret Level’s impressive Warhammer 40,000 episode is perhaps the most authentic realization of a Space Marine’s fighting power seen in an animation. Fans of Space Marine 2, however, are focusing on one thing: a weapon used in the episode but currently not in the game itself.
The Secret Level Warhammer 40,000 episode, called And They Shall Know No Fear, is a sequel to the recently released Space Marine 2, and stars protagonist Titus on what looks like a suicide mission to defeat the forces of Tzeentch. But while Titus appears in the animation as he looks in Space Marine 2, there’s a weapon players have yet to see in-game: a Power Axe.
It sounds innocuous, but the action scene in which this axe is used steals the show. We see it...
A new trailer for Mafia: The Old Country has leaked alongside a summer 2025 release window, ahead of a presentation at The Game Awards later today, December 12.
X/Twitter user @DJari2020 posted a brief snippet of the trailer, below, which seemingly appeared as a YouTube ad. It offers a first look at the gameplay, characters, and narrative of Mafia: The Old Country, promised to be a gritty mob story set in 1900s Sicily.
The trailer closes with a vague summer 2025 release window, but this is still a touch more clear than the previously announced general 2025 date. That's potentially running close to GTA 6's fall 2025 release window, should Rockstar's game resist a delay in 2026. Mafia: The Old Country was revealed at gamescom in August...
Assassin's Creed Shadows features a Canon Mode that makes every dialogue decision for the player instead of having them choose, Ubisoft has revealed.
Creative director Jonathan Dumont was asked by a fan on Reddit how much weight player choices have in Assassin's Creed Shadows. "Choices come more into play when recruiting allies and romancing some of the characters," Dumont said, before revealing the ability to remove these choices altogether.
"Since the fanbase is divided on branching dialogues, we have incorporated an option called Canon Mode which allows you to play the game with choices already made for you, to give you a choice free experience," he added. "Hope this makes it fun for everyone."
Role-playing games have long...
With the release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Patch 5, dataminers have uncovered information on cosmetics set to hit the game up to Season 9.
The Year 1 roadmap for Space Marine 2 includes new content up to Season 4, which is set to kick off at some point in 2025 (we're currently in Season 2).
Space Marine 2 publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive are releasing new Champion skins for specific classes with each season. The game launched in September with an Ultramarines Champion skin for the Heavy class, and this week’s game-changing Patch 5 added the Dark Angels Champion skin for the Bulwark class.
Now, based on fresh datamines, that cadence looks set to continue with each season up to Season 9...
Sony has confirmed its interest in aquiring FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa.
The PlayStation manufacturer cleared the air regarding reports that it was looking to pick up the gaming and anime mega company in a recent interview with Yahoo Japan. It’s acknowledgement of what could be a bombshell moment for entertainment fans everywhere, but until a deal is finalized, it is probably best to keep expectations for a potential buyout at a minimum.
“It is true that we have made an initial statement of intent,” Sony said regarding its interest in Kadokawa (translated via DeepL). “We would appreciate it if you would allow us to refrain from further comment.”
Rumors that Sony may soon acquire Kadokawa first emerged from a Reuters report...
Once again, non-profit Day of the Devs officially returned Wednesday with an indie showcase featuring nearly 20 independent games across multiple genres, platforms, studios, and styles as part of the run-up to The Game Awards. The show featured everything from a stop-motion game that’s entirely made of felt, a game where you engage in medieval warfare with modern guns, the return of an unreleased puzzle game first announced over a decade ago, and something to do with changing channels on a one-bit TV.
You should really go back and watch the whole thing, but if you’re skimming the highlights, here’s a rundown of everything we just saw at Day of the Devs:

The presentation opened with Faraway – a single-player, one-button...
