Kemuri: Hunt the Unseen, which comes from The Evil Within artist Ikumi Nakamura, is heading to the PlayStation 5 in 2027. The first gameplay trailer offers a glimpse at its characters zipping around the city and battling paranormal creatures.

Minutes after I published my story below, eagle-eyed commenter P_Devil pointed out the price is $200 more than journalists were told. $1,699.99 for an Intel Arc G3 Extreme with 32GB of RAM, according to Best Buy. Perhaps an unfortunate typo? The listing does say 144Hz when the screen is actually 120Hz… either way, it’s coming June 23rd.
The Crocs x Super Mario collection will be available starting on July 15th and features five designs inspired by Princess Peach, Yoshi, Mario, Bowser, and the Super Mario Bros. game.

Why, oh why, can’t Pikachu say ‘pika pika’?
Nintendo just put out a lengthy overview video about the upcoming N64 remake, which continues to look impressive. The game also launches pretty soon: it’ll be out exclusively on the Switch 2 on June 25th.
Maverick Games, a studio made up of former Forza developers (which was previously working with Amazon), just teased its first title, an open-world racer called Clutch. It looks like a mixture of Forza and Need For Speed, and the studio will be showing more off at SGF Live on Friday.
In addition to adding the soundtrack to Mario Kart World, Nintendo Music has been updated so you can now listen on a computer through a web browser, on a compatible tablet giving you more screen real estate for browsing, or in a vehicle with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto with support for voice commands.

Today marks eight months since Lego’s Game Boy officially went on sale — and since Natalie The Nerd brought it to life the very same day with real Game Boy circuitry. Her drop-in kit still isn’t ready, but can you blame her when the result keeps getting better? Just watch:
Along with a new ARM CPU for Windows laptops, Nvidia’s Computex news includes another feature it’s adding to the DLSS 4.5 suite ahead of that other DLSS AI graphics update. Called Ray Reconstruction, it uses a second generation transformer AI model to “generate higher-quality pixels in the noisy parts of a ray traced frame where rays were not sampled.”
They say it will deliver cleaner particle effects plus better lighting accuracy, available on RTX 20 and newer GPUs starting in August.
The game industry is in turmoil, but Summer Game Fest could be a place for the big console makers to show strength.
To commemorate the Pokémon franchise’s 30th anniversary, The Pokémon Company is about to drop a special Celebration set that will feature the reprints of rare cards that have long since been out of print and a new style of illustration from Japanese artist YOSHIROTTEN. The set debuts on September 16th.
MSI has made ridiculous dragon-themed laptops before, but this one takes the cake. Announced at Computex, the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Draco Epic takes the standard 18-inch Titan gaming laptop but adds the new flagship Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU, a 240Hz 4K screen, and a massive dragon design that’s etched and anodized right into the lid.
Never change, MSI.
MSI is announcing new versions of its Venture business laptops and Katana gaming laptops for Computex. Both have new designs, but MSI shared few details — not even availability or pricing. The key facts we know so far is that the Venture will get Intel Panther Lake chips and the Katana will have older Intel Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs and up to an RTX 5070 GPU.
Not to be outdone by Razer’s waifu capsule, MSI says it has a whole desktop “that doesn’t just run games — it responds, adapts, and engages.” Sigh! The company isn’t telling us how much it’ll cost, or if it’s a real product, but hints you can change out the LuckyClaw avatar for other third-party ones.
I still love OLEDs, but the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18’s ELMB Mini LED display is amazing.
In the volatile world of live-service shooters, the game needs to stop wasting players’ time.
Following Rockstar’s firing of more than 30 developers last year in a move accused of being “union busting”, developers at the studio have formed the Rockstar Game Workers Union. According to Game Developer:
Now, the union is preparing to take Rockstar to court over the firings. RGWU says that more and more workers are joining from every one of Rockstar’s sites across Edinburgh, London, Leeds, Lincoln, and Dundee.
