    Trombone Champ: Unflattened, which is launching this fall, looks just as silly as the flatscreen game.

    The Until Dawn remake launches in October.

    You’ll be able to play this new version of Sony’s narrative / horror game starting October 4th on PS5 and PC. In addition to updated visuals (built using Unreal Engine 5), the game will offer “revised cinematography,” a reworked prologue, and new collectibles, according to a PlayStation blog post.

    But note that on PC, you’ll need a PlayStation Network account, like with God of War Ragnarök.

    Google Classroom is turning 10.

    The education tool has now been around for a decade, and Google is adding some new features, including a way for parents to keep tabs on the work students are getting assigned. Google also says that it’s bringing Gemini to Google Classroom “soon” for English users globally.

    In “early” September, Steam store descriptions won’t be able to include links.

    Valve is making this change and its recent upgrades for game demos in part because it saw a lot of Steam store pages that were becoming advertisements for other Steam store pages. (There will still be a section in store pages with dedicated link fields.) Valve also wanted to help reduce confusion around “prologue” games.
