The viking survival game is also coming to two new platforms, with PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions coming soon. Deep North has been a long time coming for Valheim fans, who have been waiting for a new major update since Ashlands released over two years ago. The game has been in early access now for over five years, while Iron Gate slowly added new biomes and features to bring…

Gen Atlas got a new trailer at Summer Game Fest 2026, reminding everyone that the director of Shadow of the Colossus is working on a wild new sci-fi adventure for Epic Games. Legendary developer Fumito Ueda isn’t promising when the new blockbuster will release, but he is promising his new studio making it isn’t leaning on generative AI. “Everything that is considered game development” is “made by humans,” he told PC Gamer in a recent interview. Presumably, that means things like prototyping, concept art, and potentially even the code that Gen Atlas will run on. Instead, the designer behind classics…

Xbox substantially raised Game Pass prices in October 2025, a price hike that cost Microsoft millions of players, according to Xbox chief strategy officer Matthew Ball. He spoke at Summer Game Fest’s The Game Business Live event on Monday and shared insights into the business side of Game Pass. “We shed millions of subscribers over the span of a few months,” Ball said (via GameSpot). Game Pass Ultimate, the highest tier of Game Pass, went from $19.99 to $29.99 per month, and the price change was too much for plenty of players. Xbox Game Pass had over 34 million players…

On June 5 at Summer Game Fest, director Naoki Hamaguchi appeared on stage to give us our first proper look at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final instalment in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy. However, we didn’t just get one trailer, we actually got two, as the initial reveal trailer was followed by a gameplay trailer that contained some extra clues about what to expect. It’s over seven minutes of footage total. Here’s what we’ve noticed so far. Just be warned, if you haven’t played the original 1997 release of Final Fantasy 7, this article will…

In Widow’s Bay episode 7, Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) finally lifted the curse that had been hanging over his New England island town for centuries. Unfortunately, nobody told his assistant, Patricia (Kate O’Flynn). Spoilers ahead for Widow’s Bay episode 8 With three episodes remaining, Widow’s Bay fans probably could have guessed that the curse wasn’t lifted just yet, but what occurs in Episode 8, “Your Baggage,” still comes as a surprise. The episode consists of the Boogeyman, a Michael Myers-esque monster who used to haunt the locals years ago, suddenly reemerging and chasing Patricia around town for nearly 30…

Today’s Xbox Games Showcase was the first under the leadership of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who has pledged to consider making changes to Xbox’s exclusivity strategy.

He told Gamertag Radio, “Our big multiplayer games [and] live-service games are going to continue to be multiplatform.” “We want people to have a reason to get on board with Xbox,” he added. “We want them to have a reason to buy an Xbox. A reason to be an Xbox fan. At the same time, we want…

Following a number of character and logo images for Persona 6 leaking earlier this week, we’ve now got the full game reveal on our hands at last: sort of. The trailer opened with a long series of shots of tombstones in the rain and some really creepy imagery, followed by a rapid series of very creepy images that I’m sure some fan will dissect shortly, and then the logo. That was it! It’s a logo! It’s green! We already saw this in the leaks anyway! Also thanks to the leaks, there’s already tons of fanart of the main protagonist who…

Disney officially de-canonized the Star Wars Expanded Universe when it purchased the franchise from creator George Lucas in 2015, and that actually made sense. The countless Star Wars book, comics, and video games released over the decades had been hit-or-miss at best. A fresh slate was needed. However, Disney’s own spin-off material has also uneven. However, even among otherwise uninspiring stories, there are some real gems to be found. One such gem is Marvel’s current comic, Jyn Erso, written by Ethan Sacks with art from Ramon Rosanas and GURU-eFX. Unlike Cassian Andor’s solo comic, which delves into the narrow gap…

At this year’s Summer Game Fest Live, Capcom finally revealed the long-rumored remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, retitled to the much simpler Resident Evil: Veronica. Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000, Code: Veronica is the last of the “classic” Resident Evil titles to receive a remake in the modern era. While Capcom’s previous remakes have sought to make classic entries in the franchise more approachable with updated controls and camera angles, what we’ve seen in the trailer for Resident Evil: Veronica hints at something more ambitious this time around. From different perspectives to tonal shifts, the announcement trailer…
