A year ago, Black Myth: Zhong Kui barely existed in public. When Game Science revealed the second entry in the Black Myth series at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, the studio said the project was still in early development and there was no in-game footage ready to show. Fast-forward exactly one year, and things look very different. Game Science released a full 15-minute gameplay video, giving players their first real look at combat and parts of the story. The footage...

Peni Parker brings one of Marvel's most unconventional Spider-Heroes into MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls. A brilliant Japanese-American student and eccentric young scientist, Peni comes from a parallel universe where she serves as the pilot of SP//dr, a powerful mech created by her father. Rather than possessing traditional superpowers, Peni's abilities come from her intelligence, technology, and synchronization with her mechanical partner. In MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, she joins Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, and Star-Lord as part of the Amazing Guardians, a...

Visual Concepts is not interested in taking the easy layuo this year with NBA 2K27. The studio offered a first look at gameplay and now it has revealed a sizeable batch of new features for the upcoming installment in the basketball simulation series, and this isn't just a case of changing the menus, updating the rosters and pretending nothing happened. The new game is taking aim at MyCAREER, The City, MyNBA, MyTEAM and even the fundamentals of life on...

FromSoftware's next experiment in multiplayer isn't ready to let players loose just yet, but selected testers can already get their hands on the necessary software to run the test already. The Network Test client is now available to download for players who were chosen to participate in the closed beta on Nintendo Switch 2. Those who requested to participate in the test when it was announced and have been lucky enough to make the cut were notified earlier this month, and...

Just when Darkest Dungeon players thought the Hamlet had suffered enough, Red Hook Studios has opened the gates once again. Darkest Dungeon: The Fire’s Edge, a new premium DLC for Darkest Dungeon, brings two familiar faces from Darkest Dungeon II to the original nightmare factory: the Duelist and the Runaway. After years of stress, disease and questionable torch management, the Hamlet has apparently decided it needs even more problems.  ...

Before modern esports titles streamlined real-time strategy into APM-heavy esports, the late 1990s were the wild west of RTS design. Sitting proudly alongside Command & Conquer and StarCraft in PC gaming’s golden age was Australia’s own cult-classic powerhouse: Krush Kill 'N Destroy Xtreme. For gamers who spent late nights in 1997 listening to the rhythmic hum of CRT monitors and dial-up modems, returning to Krush Kill 'N Destroy Xtreme and its sequel KKND2: Krossfire offers a pure shot of unfiltered...

Subnautica 2 launched into Early Access on May 14 with one massive change from the original game: proper four-player co-op. Swimming into an alien ocean with three friends sounded fantastic, but in practice, multiplayer could still feel like four separate survivors who happened to share the same map. Update 1.2, which is coming out on the 19th of August, appropriately called Buddy System, is designed to change that. The biggest addition is proximity voice chat. Instead of relying entirely on an external...

Bodycam has always sold itself on one simple idea: what if a multiplayer shooter looked and felt uncomfortably close to real footage? With its new “Road to Locked and Loaded” Dev Diary, Reissad Studio is showing that it wants to push that idea much further than impressive graphics alone. The first dev diary focuses heavily on the systems being rebuilt for the upcoming Locked & Loaded update, especially animations, weapon handling and loadouts. Instead of simply adding another map or a...

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is preparing to open the gates of Castle Doom. Dotemu and Tribute Games have announced The Siege of Castle Doom, a new premium DLC expansion coming in Fall 2026, with Doctor Doom taking centre stage alongside a brand-new game mode and two additional playable characters whose identities have yet to be revealed. Doomsday is coming? The timing is difficult to ignore. Doctor Doom is about to become one of the biggest faces of the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to...

With only days left before its official release, Star Wars Zero Company has dropped its Final Trailer, wrapping up the long stream of reveals that has followed the game from its initial announcement through its latest details on the campaign and its cast of characters. Rather than introducing an entirely new system, the latest trailer brings players closer to the story, the members of Zero Company, and the threat waiting for them in the final days of the Clone Wars....

After months of drawing attention through gameplay showcases, Open Beta sessions, and positive feedback from the community, Mortal Shell II has finally entered its release week. Notably, before the full release reaches all players on August 20, Cold Symmetry and Playstack have opened Advanced Access from August 17. This marks an important step toward launch, while also highlighting the growing interest in the sequel, with its Open Beta attracting more than one million players across Steam, PS5, and Xbox....

In MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Hulk receives a feral reinterpretation that separates him from the familiar Avengers powerhouse. Although he once fought alongside Captain America and Iron Man to protect Earth, his overwhelming strength and instability eventually convinced the government, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even his former teammates that he had become too dangerous. Hulk was therefore exiled to the Savage Land, where he now lives among wild creatures and the remnants of prehistoric civilization. While his life has become quieter, his...
