It’s not easy to follow a game like Mario Kart 8, but Nintendo’s open-world racer does an admirable job.
The first season of Peacock’s Twisted Metal was one long intro to the vehicular death match tournament that’s at the heart of the series. This new clip for season 2 gives a sense of what that will look like in live-action. More importantly, it includes a first-look at an iconic character: Axel, a man imprisoned between two giant wheels.
Some quality time with Nintendo’s handheld shows a pleasant upgrade, as opposed to a dramatic next-gen shift.
The Playdate’s weirdest game, in which you flip through bizarro channels of an alternate reality cable network, is getting an enhanced version on PC and the Switch which adds... color. And presumably some more weirdo stuff. It’s launching later this year.
The big final reveal for the Xbox portion of the event was the next Call of Duty, which will be Black Ops 7. According to Activision, the new game will be set in 2035 and follows a story “where David Mason leads the Black Ops team against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.”
With Palworld already a hit on Xbox, it’s no surprise other similar games are on the way. Next up is Aniimo, described as a “creature-catching open-world ARPG.” There don’t appear to be any guns, but the graphics sure look slick. It launches next year on the Xbox, PC, and mobile.
