If you could peer into the future and visualize the most immediate outcomes of your actions, would you be able to make the best decisions, or would the weight of your past choices still hold you back? Harmony: The Fall of Reverie artfully takes a microscope to this idea by giving you the power of foresight to make conscious choices about which direction the story flows between its otherwise linear conversations. It took a few hours to get past all the necessary exposition before Harmony really got its hooks in me, but the story it eventually unravels into is a must-play visual novel. It does an eloquent job of mixing its classic choose-your-own-adventure style of decision-making with modern stakes that effectively hold a mirror up to...

Grand Theft Auto Online players are freaking out over an in-game t-shirt that many believe is a GTA 6 tease from Rockstar.
As reported by PCGamesN, the t-shirt in question arrived in the San Andreas Mercenaries expansion and players who checked out the updated clothing stores immediately noticed one particularly odd item called "??? Tee".
This t-shirt shows a bunch of odd symbols with lines of numbers around them. While seemingly random at first glance, attributing each of these numbers to their respective letters in the alphabet reveals a hidden message.
Just as bizarre as the t-shirt name itself, this reads: "One day will reveal all." While this means nothing by itself, many fans are hoping it teases a full GTA 6 reveal, even if...
Outriders developer People Can Fly is working on a Microsoft IP codenamed Project Maverick, the studio has revealed.
According to the announcement published to Polish financial site Interia Biznes, the budget for Project Maverick is between $30-50 million, and its production will be carried out by People Can Fly in a work-for-hire model.
People Can Fly previously worked on Gears of War: Judgment back in 2013, so it’s possible the studio is working on something related to the Gears franchise. Whether it is Gears 6 or maybe even a remaster of Judgment is unknown. Project Maverick could be completely unrelated to Gears, too.
Back in July 2020, People Can Fly announced it was working on a highly ambitious AAA game, led by Just Cause 3...
Indie Developer Motion Twin announced today that an animated Dead Cells series is in the works and will air sometime next year.
Dead Cells: The Animated Series will comprise of 10 "roughly seven-minute long" episodes and will be released in France first before getting a wider release worldwide. The teaser trailer's YouTube description mentions that the series is set on "a cursed island that a strange plague has racked".
Alongside a teaser trailer, the developer confirmed that the series is being co-produced by animation studio Bobbypills and anime streaming service Animation Digital Network. Bobbypill previously worked with Motion Twin as the studio created animated trailers for Dead Cells.
Dead Cells originally launched in early...
GTA Online players are usually happy when Rockstar rolls out a new update, but the latest San Andreas Mercenaries expansion has instead made them upset after removing more than 180 vehicles from the game.
As reported by Kotaku, Rockstar removed at least 189 cars and bikes from GTA Online and, making matters worse, put some of them behind its $6-a-month GTA+ subscription, which is currently only available to PS5 and Xbox Series players.
Though the developer warned "many lesser-used vehicles" would be removed from the game ahead of the expansion launching, many players assumed just a handful of old cars would be pulled. Instead, Rockstar removed nearly 200 vehicles, including some previously free to acquire, and put some of them behind...
Blizzard has sparked a backlash from Diablo 4 players after it nerfed some of the best farming spots in the entire game.
A recently-released hotfix, the ninth since the phenomenally-successful action role-playing game launched earlier this month, made further adjustments to elite monster density in dungeons.
Blizzard’s note accompanying the change fuelled the backlash: “We are standardizing the density of elite monsters that spawn in dungeons to ensure that no particular dungeon is clearly more efficient to run through than others.”
What this means is Blizzard has lowered the number of elite monsters in the dungeons it’s deemed are too popular for farming. In Diablo 4, elite level monsters drop the best loot and dish out the most...
It's been interesting to watch the reaction to Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. After its expanded showing at last week's Summer Game Fest event, one attendee summed up the overall mood around the game with a dismissive, "It's just more Armored Core, isn't it?"
Well, yes. Handed what amounts to a blank check after a decade of hits including Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, FromSoftware has opted to return to one of its earliest hits. This is FromSoftware being defiantly FromSoftware, ignoring the pressure to turn Armored Core into another Soulsborne game and making what it wants to make.
“The essential direction of [Armored Core VI] was to go back and take a good look at the core concept of Armored Core and what made that...
CD Projekt is launching its Cyberpunk 2077 expansion Phantom Liberty this September, but alongside a chunk of new story content and an extension of the map, it's also revamping a ton of mechanics from the base game.
These changes, which include a completely rebuilt police system, brand new skill trees, and more, look to bring Cyberpunk up to what CD Projekt initially pitched for the game at its famous reveal in 2018.
An update, presumably version 1.7, will launch around the same time as Phantom Liberty (though no earlier than September 9) and include these changes to the base game, though it's currently unclear just how many of them will be free for all Cyberpunk 2077 players and how many will be locked behind the $30 / £25...
Persona 3 Reload is coming out on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 as well as PC via Steam, Atlus has announced.
The confirmation comes after Reload was announced as launching on Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC via Windows during Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase. However, Reload is not coming out on Nintendo Switch, with the console absent from Atlus’ list of additional platforms.
Persona 3 Reload, due out early 2024 and available on Xbox Game Pass at launch, is a remake of the beloved Persona 3. It features combat and graphics updated to resemble Persona 5, and enhanced audio with new English voiceover.
However, Reload does not include additional content from Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable, including the female...
The Last of Us Part 1 on PC is now Steam Deck Verified thanks to the game's latest update that also focuses on performance improvements, fixing various crashes, and more.
The news arrives via The Last of Us Part 1's v1.1.0 patch notes for PC, and the Steam Deck verification is a welcome addition, especially after Naughty Dog confirmed it wasn't a priority for the team around the game's launch earlier this year.
It should be a good sign that many of the issues The Last of Us Part 1's PC players have been experiencing have been addressed since this lower-priority item has now been checked off Naughty Dog's list.
The Last of Us Part 1 arrived on PC on March 28 and was almost immediately slammed on Steam for a various number of its...

Since its creation, Black Voices in Gaming's mission has been dedicated to providing the spotlight for Black game developers in the industry. And one such effort includes hosting a showcase to spotlight upcoming indie games made by black developers. If you missed the organization's latest showcase, here's every game spotlight today.
Breeze in The Clouds
Announced last month at the Humble Games Showcase, Breeze in the Clouds is a new 2D hand-drawn platformer where you play as a corgi that is using his newfound power to fight pollution. The showcase gave us some new gameplay of Breeze in the Clouds.
The game's director and producer, SrBilyon Harris, appeared on stream to discuss what inspired him to create Breeze in the Clouds. Harris...
The first ever Dames 4 Games showcase has now come to an end after sharing a ton of wild and wonderful games, critically important interviews, and trailers highlighting women creators in the gaming industry.
The two hour long showcase was full of exciting reveals from all different genres and was kicked off with a message from host and co-creator Destinee Cleveland.
"Dames 4 Games was created to give women in the gaming community a chance to share their story, contributions, and love of games," she said.
"I wanted this show to highlight some of the things women have done in the industry and continue to do in the gaming community itself and as technical artists, as producers, as art directors, all the things we have done because we...
If you’ve managed to do all of the story content that Cyberpunk 2077 had to offer and have been wanting an excuse to hop back on and do some netrunning or samurai sword slashing, I’m happy to say that Phantom Liberty is going to offer you a lot to chase and then some. I was dropped into Dogtown, the new location you’ll explore in Phantom Liberty, and it’s filled with a new story, new gigs, airdrops that’ll include some coveted loot, new Cyberware upgrades in the form of Relics, new perks, and a lot more I’m probably going to discover when I return in September.
To kick things off, when diving back into Night City, you’ll receive a message and a mission from Songbird: Save the President of the New United States. She has crashed and...
The Xbox Games Showcase took the internet by storm this past weekend, but that isn't all Microsoft has in store for this Summer of Gaming as the Xbox Games Showcase Extended has arrived to give us a deeper look at such games as Avowed, Towerborne, Senua's Saga, Hellblade II, The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom, Microsoft Flight Simulator - Dune Expansion, and more.
This article will gather all the biggest reveals and announcements from the Xbox Games Showcase Extended to ensure you don't miss a thing, so check out all the details and videos below and let us know which games you are most excited for!
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's Dogtown Gets a Deep Dive
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty kicked off the Xbox Games Showcase Extended and...
There isn't much in Forza Motorsport that hasn't been ripped out, re-thought, and revamped. Graphics, physics, multiplayer, player scoring, and car building have all been re-architected in the next-gen reboot of Turn 10's long-running racing sim. But it's that last one, car building, that seems to be the piece that the development team is focusing on most.
"You don't buy your car so much as you build it," said game director Chris Esaki. So what does he mean by that? For starters, Car Points (CP) are the currency by which you purchase cars and parts, but when you spend them, they don't vanish; instead, the parts hold their value. In other words, Turn 10 is encouraging repeated tinkering and modifying so you can tailor your car to a...
Publisher Deep Silver and developer Dambuster Studios have announced the first wave of DLC for Dead Island 2, the same day parent company Embracer Group announced a drastic restructure that may impact both companies.
A number of free and paid-for additions to the zombie kill ‘em-up are out today alongside a quality of life patch. Players can now access the new Cosplay feature, unlocked during the Call The Cavalry quest. This includes new character skins. Elsewhere, there are six new premium character packs available. The patch adds several bug fixes and improvements revolving around client co-op, performance, and stability improvements.
Deep Silver detailed two expansions coming to Dead Island 2, each of which includes brand new...
Microsoft Flight Simulator's upcoming Dune expansion will actually let players fly around the planet of Arrakis.
Given a deep dive at the Xbox Extended Showcase 2023, Asobo Studio showed more of their collaboration with Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures to bring Dune to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Beginning in the real world of all places, the team showed a real life and to scale Atreides Ornithopter before switching over to a model of one area of Arrakis from the film franchise.
The model was extensively detailed, featuring the should be miserable yet beautiful environments of Arrakis, from its dusty rock formations to its sprawling desert.
It also represented an area of the map being added to Microsoft Flight Simulator...
Mr. Run and Jump may be coming out on consoles and PC later this year, but the action platformer will also come packaged in an Atari 2600 cartridge, marking it the first new 2600 cartridge game in over 30 years.
Atari announced on Tuesday that the Atari 2600 version of Mr. Run and Jump, made by the company in collaboration with John Mikula, a developer from St. Louis-based indie studio Graphite Lab, will be sold in a limited-edition cartridge. The new game will be sealed in a high-quality box and come with an instruction manual. The cartridge is also engineered to operate on older hardware, especially the Atari VCS — if you still have one of those.
The Atari 2600 cartridge version of Mr. Run and Jump features 80 new screens across...
Announced during today's Xbox Games Extended Showcase, Phasmophobia will get a Console Early Access launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation VR2 in August of this year.
A reveal trailer confirmed a whole host of features, including optional crossplay, free content updates, seasonal events, and trophies. It also listed "unique ghost personalities," although it's not clear yet if that meant unique to consoles or was simply an exisiting feature of Phasmophobia, as other selling points included stuff like the rather ambiguous "customization."
The extended showcase also revealed both that Hi-Fi Rush will get a big update with new modes next month and that High on Life will get paid DLC. You can see everything that was...
Hi-Fi Rush is one of the biggest surprises of the year so far, and more content is on the way for Tango Gameworks' rhythm action game.
Revealed at today's Xbox Games Showcase Extended, two new game modes are coming to Hi-Fi Rush through the new Arcade Challenge Update. The first is a roguelite mode called "Power Up! Tower Up!", where Chai is downgraded at the start of a run, and players select rewards to level him up as they make their way through the Rhythm Tower. Beating challenges will unlock rewards, and this mode is intented to be a post-game challenge.
The second new mode is called "BPM RUSH!", which ramps up the BPM speed as you defeat endless waves of enemies and special targets. If you're good, you can ramp the tempo all...
At the Xbox Extended Showcase today, Squanch Games announced High on Knife, a new paid DLC for its 2022 first-person shooter High on Life.
In a new post on Xbox Wire, Squanch Games CEO and studio director Mike Fridley confirmed that the DLC is set two years after the events of the base game and that "everything is totally cool until Knifey gets a package from home. Don’t ask how or why Knifey is getting mail. It’s mysterious for a reason."
The Xbox Wire post also notes that the DLC will introduce new guns. One of them is named Harper, voiced by SNL's Sarah Sherman, and another confirmed is B.A.L.L., who is "a weird little pinball gun operated by a gaggle of tiny gibberish-speaking freaks" who is voiced by Alex Robbins, the narrative...
If there’s one thing Gord makes clear right from the get-go, it’s that surviving its dark and dangerous woods will not be an easy or comfortable experience. In my time playing this settlement-building survival game, I raised a village from nothing, fought off barbaric invaders, and made a dark pact with an evil God – all of which were equal parts stressful and rewarding. Covenant, an indie studio founded by a handful of former CD Projekt Red developers, clearly borrows a lot from the Slavic dark fantasy setting of their Witcher roots. But instead of playing an all-powerful warrior who makes his living slaying dangerous monsters, Gord asks you to manage a group of peasants fighting to survive against impossible odds, and that managed to...

Respawn Entertainment worked on Titanfall 3 "in earnest" for ten months before ditching it for Apex Legends, a former developer has revealed.
Mohammad Alavi, who became narrative lead designer on Titanfall 3 before it was cut, told The Burnettwork that much work on the sequel had been done.
“Titanfall 2 came out, did what it did, and we were like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna make Titanfall 3,’ and we worked on Titanfall 3 for about ten months, right? In earnest, right?
"We had new tech for it, we had multiple missions going, we had a first playable, which was on par to be just as good if not better than whatever we had before, right? But I’ll make this clear: incrementally better, it wasn’t revolutionary. And that’s the key thing, right...
Xbox has had a challenging couple of years, to say the least.
Redfall recently launched to middling reviews and criticism of the game's bugs, co-op issues, and performance, at a time when Xbox was already suffering from concerns and criticisms regarding a multi-year silence from many of its 23 internal studios. Up until yesterday's showcase at least, the narrative has been that Xbox's AAA efforts have been floundering. But it all begs the question: what could Xbox reasonably have done differently?
Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty, like his fellow executives, recognizes that Xbox has a lot to prove to those who have been watching it closely since its late 2010s acquisition spree. So following the Xbox Game Showcase, I ask him if...
It’s been about eight years since From Software introduced us all to Bloodborne and its horrifying blood-soaked streets, and I don’t mind telling you I’ve spent every waking minute since then thinking about its world, and waiting for news of a sequel. While there have been many offerings by other developers of games that seek to capture the “Soulsborne” vibe in various ways, few manage to capture the entire package. After spending a few hours with the Lies of P demo, I came away with the realization that I may have finally found something to scratch that itch I’ve had for so long.
I’ll admit, having Pinocchio as the protagonist wouldn’t have been my first pick, but it’s also obvious that developer NeoWiz isn’t exactly taking many cues...
Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion adds a whole new ending to the base game when it launches this September.
Game director Gabe Amatangelo told WCCFTech that, while Phantom Liberty itself has multiple endings and narrative paths to choose from, making certain decisions within it can unlock a sixth mainline ending in Cyberpunk 2077.
It has "different endings based on how things play out", Amatangelo said. "Then, based on the ending within Phantom Liberty, you can unlock a new ending in the base game." This ending "has to do with your new relationships and characters and situations".
Amatangelo added to this in an interview with IGN as part of Summer of Gaming. "As the trailer shows, Songbird brings you in with the promise of...
