    A big ol’ update for Vampire Survivors.

    The developers describe it as the “most ambitious free update yet” for the game, with such important features as mine carts and doors that can open. The “laborratory” update also includes new characters, weapons, and stages — and it’s out today on all platforms.

    Some beautiful dungeons.

    Usually they’re all dark and scary, but in Dungeons of Hinterberg, the dungeons look like colorful, lively places begging to be explored. There’s a hint of Moebius to the art style that I’m very into. It’s coming to Xbox and PC on July 18th, and will hit Game Pass on day one.

    And now... something you can play today.

    Most of the games at this showcase are launching later in the year, but The Rewinder — an intriguingly dark adventure game that’s already out on Steam — is now on Game Pass.

    Jackbox gets naughty.

    The popular trivia series is getting an update that’s a little, let’s say, risqué. We don’t know exactly what the new pack will include, but the developers say it’ll be the franchise’s first M-rated content. It’s dropping later this year.

    Is this a new genre?

    Keylocker is described as a “cyberpunk, turn-based, rhythm JRPG.” That sure is a lot of things, but at least it’s all rendered with a pretty slick retro style. The game hits Xbox and PC some time this summer.

    Say hello to your newest pals.

    PalWorld is getting an update this summer that adds some new creatures. And, as the new trailer shows they’re not only cute, but also flammable.

    Here’s the first Mufasa teaser. I’m not lion.

    Given the success of Disney’s “live-action” remake of The Lion King, a prequel seemed inevitable, so here we are with Mufasa. It looks a lot like the original, only this time they added an ice level and a villain voiced by Mads Mikkelsen. It hits theaters on December 20th.

    Hopefully there are no facehuggers in VR.

    Romulus is looking pretty scary, but if you’re in the mood for something more immersive there’s an Alien horror game for VR on the way as well. Unfortunately there’s no actual gameplay in this trailer for Rogue Incursion, but the developers at Survios describe it as a “single-player, action-horror game” launching this holiday on PS VR2, PCVR via Steam, and Meta Quest 3.
