Playground Games promised a major new look at Fable at the Xbox Games Showcase, and it didn’t disappoint, introducing a new character in Isabel, played by Hayley Atwell. If that wasn’t enough, the sprawling RPG is confirmed to launch on February 23rd, 2027, and sees the potential return of the original game’s antagonist, Jack of Blades. But it doesn’t stop there. A post-launch story expansion, Order of the Hero, is also in the works. As announced on the official site,

Following the reveal of its three new prologue missions, Halo: Campaign Evolved has received a more traditional cinematic story trailer. A bit of the original’s introduction remade with gorgeous new visuals here, some stunning new gameplay there (captured on PS5 Pro, no less), and it’s already way smoother than last year’s reveal. It also offers a look at several new features absent from the original Halo: Combat Evolved (or CE Anniversary). Notice Master Chief hijacking a G

Another State of Play from Sony has come and gone, and boy was this one a banger. There was that closer look at Marvel’s Wolverine to cheer about. But we’re looking at the other big game that was revealed at the event, and the discourse around it that has since emerged. Laufey has become quite a debated reveal for PlayStation, and we understand why that’s the case. It’s a franchise that has been centered around Kratos for two entire decades, after all. You might argue that Atreus took up a bit o

Since the days of Skyrim (and even further back with Oblivion, Morrowind and whatnot), we’ve seen an eclectic bunch of first-person titles with medieval-style combat. Some lean into it further with their own takes on magic, like that one underappreciated Arkane Studios title. Others opt for a more co-op-focused approach like Warhammer: Vermintide, while still others ditch the magic entirely and focus on a more realistic experience such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Regardless, nailing that

The cycle begins anew for Resident Evil fans as a new title has been announced at Summer Game Fest once again. But even with the new, there’s a much-awaited return to the classic, namely the underrated Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. Launching in 2027 – most likely by March 31st to fit the company’s fiscal year – Resident Evil Veronica kicked off its reveal in unexpected fashion. No break-in through Umbrella’s Paris facility, or slow-mo, Matrix-like action sequences that are im

It isn’t every day a game that’s around eleven years old gets news of a new expansion being added to it. It’s a testament to how much Geralt’s desperate search for Ciri across The Continent has withstood the test of time, with the Witcher’s swan song being one that continues to be hummed even today. And while the announcement of Songs of the Past, a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has certainly made all our medallions hum with anticipation, we took a step back to think about what’s a

Crimson Desert has changed so much since its release, and that’s something we’ve talked about quite a bit over the past few months. It’s a testament to Peal Abyss’s commitment to making it a game that brings long-term value to its players, and to giving us players a game that incorporates our suggestions into the gameplay loop with every passing update. However, it seems that Pywel is going to keep evolving, with a new roadmap bringing changes and improvements that could transform our time with

While rumors have indicated that there might be a power difference of around 30 percent between the upcoming next-generation consoles – the PS6 and Microsoft’s Project Helix – a new report by Moore’s Law is Dead indicates that this difference will end up becoming more of a “frame rate” war between the platforms. When it comes to image quality, however, both consoles are expected to be on par with each other. In a video analyzing the potential performance of the PS6 and Project Helix based on the

It’s not often you tune into a smaller showcase, expecting huge announcements that will surprise you, but for the second year in a row, the Future Games Show has managed to deliver a very exciting game. Amazingly enough, it’s another Mass Effect-inspired experience: Archetype Entertainment’s Exodus. Granted, this isn’t a new game announcement like last year’s The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. If you’ve been following the developer’s various teasers over the pa

NBA The Run had us pretty interested when it was announced earlier this year. And with its open beta weekend just hours away at the time of writing, we thought it’s a good time to give you a rundown of what it’s offering, and the interesting ways in which it’s trying to build on its inspirations. With the game trying to reach the lofty heights of legendary titles like NBA Jam, and NBA Street, you can expect that developer Play by Play has spared no effort in making this one feel familiar but fr

You would think Capcom would offer more details on Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance later, but instead, it released a Developer Message video immediately following Summer Game Fest. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto is joined by expansion director Takuro Hiraoka, who also worked on Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and directed Exoprimal. The duo confirmed that Master Rank quests are being added with the expansion, available after finishing “Awakening From a Dream,” a 7-star Assignment that i

If new content and killer sales coming to 007 First Light wasn’t enough, IO Interactive and Saber Interactive have announced a blast from the past with the Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered. Launching in 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, it includes remasters of the first three games in the franchise – Codename 47, Silent Assassin and Contracts. Retaining the same art direction as the original, the remastered trilogy offers improved character models, high-resolution textures a

Following its reveal of 007 First Light’s Year 1 roadmap, IO Interactive has announced that it sold 2.7 million copies in its first week. The action-adventure title launched on May 27th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, selling 1.5 million copies in its first 24 hours. The milestone is all the more impressive considering the rather average response on Steam. Despite a 91 percent “Very Positive” rating based on 10,917 user reviews, the PC version peaked at 71,073 concurrent p

Single-player games were out in full force during Summer Game Fest, from Final Fantasy 7 Revelation to Resident Evil Veronica. However, there were some interesting efforts from smaller studios like That’s No Moon, which unveiled a new narrative-driven tactical shooter called Crossfire. And if you’re thinking that the name sounds familiar, yes, this is based on Smilegate’s competitive shooter of the same name. Of course, this is a single-player-focused adventure that focuses

Developer Section 9 Interactive and publisher Epic Games have announced that action-adventure title End of Abyss will be coming to PC (exclusively on Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 1st. The announcement was made during Summer Game Fest 2026 with a new trailer, which you can check out below. The trailer comes in at just under a minute in length, and gives us a look at some of the exploration-focused gameplay of the title. As you might expect, End of Abyss will be an incred

Even if IO Interactive isn’t developing further sequels, 007 First Light is only getting started. The developer revealed the post-launch roadmap for the action-adventure at Summer Game Fest, which includes new challenges and upgrades for the TacSim. But that’s not all. Bond will be returning to Aleph at Bawma’s request, who has something that may be interesting. Judging by the gold-plated bullet, it may have to do with the infamous Golden Gun. Besides this new mission, fa

Developer tinyBuild revealed its brand-new open-world multiplayer survival crafting game, Last Harbor. The title was unveiled during Summer Game Fest 2026 with a trailer, which showcases various gameplay systems like fishing, the visual style, and even a bit of action. Check it out below. While the survival crafting genre often requires players to build up their home bases, Last Harbor introduces a twist in the formula by making the player’s base a boat that they have to build, maintain, and exp

Developer Dead Astronauts – a studio made up of industry veterans who have previously worked at Massive Entertainment and Epic Games – has unveiled its debut game with a trailer. Dubbed HAEX, the game will be a first-person survival shooter with multiplayer elements, set in an alien-scarred wilderness that also happens to be engulfed by some strange mist. The core narrative of HAEX revolves around the players trying to track down missing members of their science expedition after surviving a heli

The veil has finally been lifted off  Attack on Titan 3, a brand-new addition to Omega Force’s take on the beloved anime. Erin and the Survey Corps are back, and they’re as nimble and deadly as they’ve ever been, thanks to coordinated attacks, deadly weapons, and a determined desire to make the world a safer place, one Titan at a time. We get to see quite a few familiar faces, and some intense moments that might be familiar to those of you who’ve watched the anime or read

Developer Milestone has unveiled its new arcade-styled racing game based on Mattel’s Hot Wheels. Dubbed Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, the title was announced with a trailer during Summer Game Fest 2026, featuring a minute and a half of footage that was captured entirely in-engine. Check it out below. Hot Wheels Infinite Rush will seemingly feature an open world that players can drive around in. Rather than focusing on photorealism, however, the title seemingly leans into the goofier aspects of Hot W
