Gears of War: Reloaded will put the original Gears series in more hands than ever before. We already knew the game was coming to PS5 for the first time, along with cross-play and cross progression. We also knew the release date, August 26th. I guess Xbox didn’t really want anything, just to remind us it’s still here and coming soon.
Bloober Team is having a great time. Silent Hill 2 released to rave reviews and the developer has another project in the works with Konami. The team also has an original project, Cronos: The New Dawn.
We got a new trailer for the game featuring a tone of gross, be-tentacled monsters and some timey wimey shenanigans. Still now firm release date, though, beyond fall 2025.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came out just last year and the folks at MachineGames have been busy. During the Xbox Games Showcase we got a glimpse at a new DLC campaign, The Order of Giants.
In the trailer, it looks like Indy will be investigating the origins of the Nephilim, the mysterious giant-like men sworn to protect the Great Circle. I hope the DLC means we’ll get the chance to see Tony Todd’s character for one last time.
In the thick of the Summer Game Fest presentation, Ian Proulx CEO of 1047 Games came out to promote his team’s new multiplayer shooter Splitgate 2. Problem is, he did it wearing a Make FPS Great Again hat which...is certainly a choice. A bad one. Now everybody’s talking about the hat and how much it sucks and not Splitgate 2.
Lies of P, the Korean Soulslike based on the legend of Pinocchio is back with more puppet pounding action. Lies of P: Overture is a DLC expansion that delves into the history of Krat and gives you more opportunity to play around with a very pretty, very real boy. Even better, the DLC is out....right now.
At Summer Game Fest, Lego has revealed its next game: Lego Voyagers. It’s a co-op adventure game where two players will use Lego to build their way across beautiful bricked-up landscapes. It actually looked really sweet, like the perfect game to play with a young family member. The game will also feature the friend pass program where you and a buddy can play on one copy of the game.
While we’ve known about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for a while, at Summer Game Fest 2025 we got a better look at the racers and a release date. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on September 25th with crossplay and a roster that includes Hatsune Miku, Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza series, and the character that got the biggest cheer from the live SGF audience: Persona 5’s Joker.
I can’t get enough Astro Bot which is a very good thing because PlayStation keeps giving him to us. During today’s summer State of Play, the good folks at Team Asobi announced they are releasing a new slate of Astro Bot levels.
There will be five new levels to challenge and a host of new bots to find including Atsu from Ghosts of Yotei. The developers say there will be even more bots to find but they’re being kept secret for now. The new levels launch July 10th.
