    Get caught up on Oxenfree before the sequel drops.

    The spooky teen adventure game Oxenfreewhich is now under the Netflix umbrella — is getting a sequel called Lost Signals on July 12th. But given that the original came out years ago, you’ve probably forgotten what actually happened on Edwards Island — which is likely why Netflix put out this handy recap.

    And if you haven’t played Oxenfree yet, it’s only a few hours long, and just the thing if you’re in the mood for a Stranger Things vibe.

    Did you know there’s a new EA Sports soccer game coming?

    It definitely wants to make sure you don’t forget about its non-FIFA game EA Sports FC coming this year. We knew that EA had acquired naming rights for Spain’s LaLiga, and now we can see what that actually looks like as part of the league’s visual rebranding.

    It will officially be known as LaLiga EA Sports, while the second division will hilariously be called LaLiga Hypermotion, named after in-game animation tech. Of course, no one will call them that — but it’ll be hard to avoid while watching matches.

    That’s a lot of tapes.

    Our friends over at Noclip have amassed quite the collection of boxes, which are filled with tapes featuring a whole bunch of un-digitized bits of video game history. Now they’re sifting through all of them and finding the most important, historically relevant videos to upload to a new YouTube channel as well as archive.org.
