PUBG: Ded.Net is a new multiplayer FPS with roguelite progression… and also a very in-your-face vibe. I love PUBG, but this announcement trailer was a lot to take in. We’ll see if it’s as satisfying to play Ded.Net as it was to get a chicken dinner back in the day.

Capcom just showed off a new trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override, an upcoming sidescroller in the series. It’s set to launch in 2027.
There’s also a silly-looking Mega Man skin coming to Pragmata.
The update includes new story moments, voiceovers in more languages, and “all post-launch content to date.” It’s a free update.
Following last week’s extended gameplay trailer, we got a briefer look at Silent Hill: Townfall, this time highlighting the game’s cast. It includes Jovan Adepo (3 Body Problem, It: Welcome to Derry), Kezia Burrows (Observation), and Terry O’Quinn (Lost).
The game, an Xbox console exclusive, launches on October 6th.


HoYoverse, the developer of games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, is making a new game that looks like a mix of Monster Hunter and Elden Ring. It’s called Nodusfall.
A new round of leaked video clips has surfaced, and they appear to show that the well-populated areas from Rockstar’s trailers will be featured in the actual game. Like all of the leaked gameplay before, they feature only the Jason character, walking through a crowded nightclub, and cycling down a beach.
The last clip takes him to “Game Horde” with plenty of used PS5s and physical copies of games lining the shelves, readily available for rental or trade, even if GTA VI won’t be.
Capcom is expanding the demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword with a new location ahead of the full game launch on September 4th. Catch a new trailer on YouTube.

Atari just announced that RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks, a new game in the classic theme park simulator franchise, is launching in early access on Steam “soon.” See you at the park.
