Title: Harlem Globetrotters Are Getting Their First Basketball Video Game In Two Decades Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:00:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/harlem-globetrotters-are-getting-their-first-basketball-video-game-in-two-decades/1100-6538654/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f The last time the Harlem Globetrotters were in a video game was in 2006 when Harlem Globetrotters: World Tour debuted on Game Boy Advance, as well as a DS version in 2007. Two decades later, the iconic exhibition basketball team is making their video-game return in Super Basketball Classics Featuring the World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters, an upcoming title from Acclaim. Unlike the Globetrotters' last game, Super Basketball Classics will play up the team's trick shots and showmanship flair. In other words, the alley-oops, the half-court bombs, and other cheat-code-style stunts are all part of the game. This arcade throwback title is part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Globetrotters. It will feature a full-season mode and tournament options, as well as head-to-head co-op play and even the ability to join forces with other players as members of the same team."The Harlem Globetrotters are synonymous with basketball and entertainment," said Acclaim's CEO Alex Josef in a statement. "This game celebrates that spirit while honoring the classic arcade basketball experiences fans grew up loving while building a whole new generation of fans, for years to come. With tight controls, big personalities and instant pick-up-and-play action, Super Basketball Classics brings the Harlem Globetrotters legacy to gamers and sports fans around the world."Continue Reading at GameSpot

He also recalled that the thinking at the time was that after people saw the success of 2001's GTA III, there was a desire to make a "The Simpsons version" of the Rockstar Games title.Continue Reading at GameSpot

EA has laid off staff from across Battlefield Studios, but the exact number of affected employees is currently unknown.According to IGN, EA characterized the layoffs as a "realignment," and all four of the studios under the Battlefield Studios banner--DICE, Ripple Effect Studios, Criterion Games, and Motive Studio--will remain open."We've made select changes within our Battlefield organization to better align our teams around what matters most to our community," said EA in a statement.

Title: Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2: Start Date, And All Leaks And Teases So Far Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:58:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/fortnite-chapter-7-season-2-start-date-and-all-leaks-and-teases-so-far/2900-7548/ The first season of Fortnite Chapter 7 is the game's longest in six years, but the end is finally in sight, and it promises to bring some big changes. And with just days left to go, Epic Games has begun dropping real teasers, and there are plenty of leaks to go with them.Let's go over what we've got so far. When does Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 start?While Season 2 was originally scheduled for the beginning of March, the new season launch was recently delayed by two weeks and will now start on Thursday, March 19. Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 teaserThe first teaser Epic dropped wasn't much, just a little calendar detailing a series of little story events. We don't know what exactly will happen on the upcoming dates listed in the teaser, but they're all going to be part of the ramp-up to Season 2, culminating in a "final wave" of something that begins on March 14 and continues during the last week of the season. So far, these have been live mini-events during Battle Royale, like the big orb hovering over the center of the map disappearing into a rift to start the Power Hour on March 7.In the second teaser for Season 2, we learn that we'll be on a mission to save The Foundation, the leader of the Seven, who's been missing since he and Jonesy jumped into the Zero Point at the end of Chapter 3 Season 2. The new teaser shows him frozen in ice (alongside a new Captain America, for some reason), apparently imprisoned by the Ice King. In story terms, this makes Season 2 a remix of the original Chapter 1 Season 7, during which the Ice King held The Prisoner the same way--though it's worth pointing out that we see The Prisoner once again frozen in ice in the teaser.So we'll probably see The Foundation thaw out during the season at some point. When the character was originally introduced to Fortnite, the Foundation was voiced by and featured the likeness of Dwayne Johnson. Will The Rock be returning to Fortnite, or will we be getting a new version of the Foundation played by somebody else? We have no answers yet. Will Season 1 end with a live event?It's starting to look like that "Final Wave" that starts on Saturday the 14th will usher in the season's endgame with some sort of live situation. Epic has already begun casually dropping occasionally story moments during Battle Royale matches, like the Dark Voyager orb hovering over the island rifting out of town on March 6, and then returning the next day. Big changes are coming in Season 2Producer Ted Timmins recently spent an afternoon chatting with fans on Twitter, and he made a lot of cryptic comments about what to expect from the upcoming season. Such as:A mostly refreshed loot poolNew movement items, including one your who squad can use togetherSeason 2 will "dial up the loony tunes" with its gameplay updatesThere will be a "new-old meta loot spot" on the map that activates mid-gameTeaser word: "bearer"Some folks may make this sound like a pile of dramatic, course-correcting changes, but modern Fortnite changes most of the loot pool and adds new movement items every season anyway--these changes may be the normal kind of big.The significant details in that list, then, are the group movement item, which could be amazing, and the mid-game "new-old meta loot spot," which sounds like a revamped version of the old loot island idea, or the mod bench vaults that were on the map during Chapter 5.And for those who feel that Season 1 has been going on for way too long, we've got good news: Season 2 is slated to run for about 80 days, or a month shorter than Season 1. The currently scheduled end date is June 6, a Saturday, which implies there will be a major live event that day Chapter 7 Season 2 battle pass and collabsTimmins' unnecessary reference to "loony tunes" above may not just be some incidental description of the gameplay. If leakers are to be believed, Fortnite already has a Looney Tunes collaboration in the works that is allegedly close to release. Between the repeated Looney Tunes leaks and Timmins' specific choice of words to describe the new season, it appears like Looney Tunes is poised to take over the battle pass--and, indeed, leakers are starting to claim that Bugs Bunny will be the one, with Daffy Duck and Lola Bunny coming to the shop.An Overwatch collaboration has also been teased by three separate leakers, who've claimed it will include skins for Tracer, D.Va, Genji, and Mercy. One of the leakers even claims an Overwatch character will be on the Season 2 battle pass.And even though Captain America was frozen in ice in the teaser trailer for Season 2, he's reportedly not going to be part of the battle pass.But that's just the tip of the iceberg, because there are current leaks about a bunch of other possible Fortnite collabs. But those other leaks came from a relatively new leaker whose social accounts all disappeared suddenly on February 23. So let's talk about that situation for a second. The curious case of AdiraFNInfoAdira was a new leaker whose star had been rising fast in 2026 after they correctly leaked the 28 Years Later, Ed Edd N Eddy, Solo Leveling, The Office, Honkai Star Rail, and The Regular Show collabs, as well as the second wave of KPOP Demon Hunters, the Magik and Luna Snow Marvel skins, and the Fortnite-original Esme and Hattie Chirps skins, and they were also one of the leakers of the Overwatch collab mentioned above. It was a mind-blowingly good track record for somebody so new to the leaker scene.Adira's run lasted just a month and a half before they completely disappeared, which was pretty unusual for a Fortnite leaker. But what happened next was even more surprising: Epic Games claimed in a lawsuit that Adira was actually one of its contractors, named Hayden Cohen, who broke a non-disclosure agreement to leak all that stuff. So Adira won't be dropping any more leaks ever again, but before they disappeared they offered several more leaks that still haven't been officially revealed yet. Given the lawsuit, we can probably consider Adira to be a trusted source--though it's also possible that one or more of these are false leaks planted by Epic in an attempt to track down the source of these leaks.Whatever the case may be, here are the remaining collabs Adira said were on the way:MinecraftPeakBen 10Kingdom HeartsGame of ThronesMasters of the UniverseNone of these have yet been corroborated by other leakers. Why Season 2 was delayedWhen the upcoming season was pushed back a couple weeks, no official explanation was given for the change. But the first season of Chapter 7 has been plagued by major technical problems since the South Park event started at the beginning of January--problems that seemed to get worse or manifest in new ways with each update since then.This is speculation, but our best guess is that the delay is the result of those bugs, with Epic giving itself some extra time to get everything in shape before Season 2 starts. A two-week delay is probably preferable to a botched season launch, I'd think.

Title: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie cast a surprising Yoshi: Donald Glover Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 21:47:11 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/super-mario-galaxy-movie-trailer-nintendo-direct-yoshi-actor/ During a new Nintendo Direct on Monday, Nintendo and Illumination revealed the final trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. While that new look at Mario and Luigi's next adventure looks impressively larger in scope than 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it was a handful of casting reveals that stole the show.

Title: Cooking recipes and skill upgrades in Pokémon Pokopia Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 21:02:36 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-pokopia-cooking-recipes-skill-upgrades-ingredients/ If you're looking to upgrade your skills, like expand the range of Water Gun or smash through harder rocks with Rock Smash, in Pokémon Pokopia, you'll need to cook food to do so. Different types of food upgrade different skills, so you'll want to make a variety of dishes to keep on you so you can use them in a pinch.

Title: Marathon already feels like the scariest game of 2026 Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:00:30 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/marathon-is-the-scariest-horror-game-of-2026/ Marathon is the kind of game where you can be creeping around a quiet, decrepit little outpost looking for a bit of unstable biomass when all of a sudden, a ventilation shaft cover bursts open and a robot pops out and stabs you to death. All those great guns you had and other upgrades and loot you’d collected on this run? Gone forever. It hurts. That’s also one of the biggest reasons why Marathon feels like the scariest game I’ve played in a long time.

Title: Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is about to sideline its protagonist, and that's a good thing Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:28:22 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-season-3-yuji-culling-game-fights/ There are only three episodes to go before Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1 comes to an end. The ongoing third season is split into two cours, which will cover all 83 chapters of the Culling Game arc from Gege Akutami’s acclaimed manga. Part 1 is set to air its 12th and final episode on March 26, but it’s tricky to gauge which manga-adjacent chapter it’ll end with. MAPPA has switched up the pacing for the sake of a streamlined story, opting for a more artistic approach towards an already layered saga. Irrespective of which mini-arc part 1 concludes with, we’ll be seeing less and less of the franchise’s protagonist, Yuji Itadori. While Yuji’s return to the spotlight comes with a major payoff, his long period of absence makes space for a flurry of intense battles in the meantime.

Title: GeForce NOW Celebrates Six Years of Streaming With 24 Games in February Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:00:53 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-feb-2026-games-list/ Break out the cake and green sprinkles — GeForce NOW is turning six. Since launch, members have streamed over 1 billion hours, and the party’s just getting started. Throughout February, members can look forward to new games, fresh ways to play across more devices and even more ways to bring RTX power to every screen in the house. There’s plenty to celebrate: the February games list kicks off with 24 new games. Start with the 10 new games in the cloud this week, including the launch of Team Jade’s Delta Force and the newest title launching in the PUBG universe, PUBG: BLINDSPOT. Reporting for Duty The ultimate extraction. Delta Force, now boots on the ground and fully deployed on GeForce NOW, brings the tactical first‑person shooter from Team Jade (TiMi Studio Group) to the cloud. The game features high-stakes extraction with an all-out warfare mode, giving players a playground of open environments, vehicles and gadgets to pull off coordinated assaults. Players join elite units tasked with tackling high‑risk missions across sprawling maps, from tight urban incursions to rugged open‑terrain operations. Expect strategic objectives, combined‑arms combat with land, air and sea vehicles, and tense firefights where teamwork and planning are just as important as quick reflexes. On GeForce NOW, Delta Force leans into its high‑octane personality: fast drops, big maps and cinematic engagements that look sharp and feel responsive across devices. Members can squad up from almost anywhere, enjoy high‑resolution streaming and smooth performance, and stay ready for every op without waiting on downloads or big updates before jumping into the next mission. New Mission Squad up. PUBG: BLINDSPOT, a new spin-off set in the PUBG universe from Krafton, expands the franchise with a standalone 5v5 top-down tactical shooter. Set across tightly designed maps, matches focus on information, positioning and coordinated team play, with squads clearing angles, locking down objectives and outmaneuvering opponents in fast, round-based firefights. Every callout and ability use matters, turning each round into a layered tactical puzzle rather than a simple test of reflexes. On GeForce NOW, responsive streaming and sharp RTX-powered visuals keep every angle, rotation and clutch play feeling precise, even on lower-powered devices. With support across a wide range of screens, the cloud makes it easy for the gaming squad to jump right into the action, without lengthy downloads or updates getting in the way.

Title: Ghost of Yōtei Legends: everything you need to know about the online co-op multiplayer mode Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:00:29 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/09/ghost-of-yotei-legends-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-online-co-op-multiplayer-mode/ Time to take up your blade once more, warrior. Like its predecessor, Ghost of Yōtei’s rich single player campaign is just one side of a Zeni Hajiki coin, as Sucker Punch Productions brings its acclaimed PS5 adventure’s combat thrills to a supernatural plain in Ghost of Yōtei Legends. Launching tomorrow, March 10*, this online co-op multiplayer mode builds on the wonderful foundations of Ghost of Tsushima’s own Legends mode while reimagining Yōtei’s new mechanics and threats in a mythical, mystical spin fit for any storyteller’s fantastical yarn.   Play Video The mode was announced last year, and fully revealed in this past February’s State of Play. Today, the studio – in the form of Legends Lead Designer Darren Bridges, kindly taking time out from putting the final polishes to the mode – joined us to break down what awaits players when they download the update on March 10. The mode is available at no additional cost for all owners of Ghost of Yōtei.**  The mode has been in production as long as the single player campaign “We had a core team working on multiplayer throughout [Ghost of Yōtei’s] development. We were reacting and responding and pulling the systems in, figuring out how they would work in a multiplayer context. As [the main game] finished, people moved over to work on Legends, flesh it out. It’s an interesting development process. There’s a lot of stuff that looks like a prototype for a long time, and then when the team moves in, it’s a really rapid escalation and improvement. It’s like an advent calendar: we wake up every morning and see something new. There’s so much new content, and that the game is getting amazing and beautiful so quickly once the rest of the team jumps in to contribute. So it’s a really fun experience.” View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Examples of the Samurai class It’s a Mythic Tale spin on the Yōtei Six  “The Yōtei Six are bosses, warlords, that haunted Atsu’s story. Legends is a retelling of that way later; years, even centuries after the fact. A lot of the details have washed away. These big characters have been exaggerated. Instead of fighting powerful warlords, you’re fighting 15-foot demonic bosses. It makes enemies a suitable challenge for multiple players.” Like the single player story, the Yōtei Six have followers you must face as well  “Each boss has a faction of enemies that come with them. That includes sub-bosses that are different for each [of the Six’s domains] and are themed around the abilities of the boss, so they all connect. So for example, the Kitsune has an elite soldier called the Snow Woman, who has frost and cold abilities. The Snake has a summoner.”  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Examples of the Archer class Different Classes help you face different challenges, but you can play your way  “We want to give players different roles they can play into, to be able to complement each other, and you can split and focus on different enemies based on the weapons you have. But if you all want to play, say, Samurai, then you can and will be able to solve all the challenges put in front of you. But each Class has a focus weapon. So for instance, the Samurai has the Odachi, the Archer, the Yari. The Mercenary has dual katanas. The Shinobi has the Kusarigama, Some of their tech tree builds toward that. Some of their gear is based around that. But they’re not limited to those exclusively. They can use other weapons too. We also have things like quick fire weapons, so some abilities that are on cool down. “Each class has their own tech tree, so there is build crafting based on the gear you unlock and the abilities you unlock and choose.”  Four difficulty levels let you decide how fast (or challenging) you want your XP gain to be “Every mission is replayable and there are four difficulties: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. As you play those, you’ll face different enemies, different challenges. The higher difficulty you play, the faster you’ll earn XP, the faster your character class will advance, and the better loot you’ll get based on.  “There’s recommended gear levels for each difficulty. So if you are kind of signing up for a mission that is at a higher difficulty that your gear level is set too. We’ll give you a warning, but we’ll also say, “hey, go for it”. Some folk want to slowly move their way up the difficulties. Some want to jump into the highest difficulty unlocked and struggle. That’s great. We support both of those approaches.” View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Examples of the Mercenary class Prepare for some truly unique Legends cosmetics  “One of the most amazing parts of working on game development is collaborating with professionals in a completely different discipline, and just seeing the things that [the art team] turn out. Obviously, with the mode being supernatural and fantasy, we can really dive into completely different ideas and really wild stuff [for cosmetics]. There’s one helmet that has a bunch of eyeballs on it, that look around while you’re wearing it. And all this content is available for Ghost of Yōtei owners at no additional cost. So all of this is unlocked just through gameplay.” More on the mode’s different mission types… “Story missions have you dealing with these legends as told by the storyteller, who is narrating the events as you play through them. There are two player story missions, while Incursion missions are the culmination of that. There’s one Incursion for each of the four bosses available in the launch version – The Spider, The Oni, the Kitsune, the Snake. Story missions are themed around them, then you enter their domain in four-player Incursions, fight your way to them and ultimately face off against them.  “Survival is a four-player, area and wave defense type of mode. Four missions, each themed around one of the bosses. Each mission has you defending three locations. Each has a unique blessing and curse. So if you hold an area, you could activate a blessing to, say, summon a spirit bear, or activate fire spirits to attack enemies. But if you lose your hold, a curse activates… So now you have a shadow bear that will hunt you down and attack. So it leads to the matches being really dynamic.” …and the upcoming Raid.  “The Raid launches next month in which you’ll face the last two of the Yotei Six, the Dragon and Lord Saito.*** It’s four-player, hardcore content: you actually need four players to complete it. You can’t do it with fewer and you want to have players that you can communicate and coordinate well with. We view this as the most co-opy co-op. The rest of the Legends missions are co-optional. We provide opportunities for you to work together, but we don’t ever want to make it a blocker. This though? This is for four players. Mark my words. You cannot win without four players.” View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Examples of the Shinobi class You may never make it out of the game’s lobby  “Ghost of Tsushima’s lobby was a flat 2D menu. Our goal in designing [this mode’s] lobby was to give you something you can do while you wait for friends to join. You can go look at the feats you’ve completed and unlock cosmetics. You can tweak your build, adjust your tech tree. But the lobby also has some light PvP elements, such as Zeni Hajiki, the coin-flicking game that was in the single player campaign. We heard players wishing they could play that against friends (so did our QA team), so we did!  “There’s also a Bamboo Strike score challenge, with mini leaderboards that you can brag against your friends. There’s a training area if you want to get good at perfect parries in a low pressure environment, or to just test your build. So it’s just meant to be a place that while you’re waiting or you’re in between rounds, we give you interesting things to do.” Ghost of Yōtei Legends is available as an update to Ghost of Yōtei owners at no additional cost on March 10. *Ghost of Yōtei Legends will launch on March 11 in some territories including Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. ** Internet connection and account for PlayStation required.

Title: Lou’s Lagoon soars onto PS5 later this year Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:01:15 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/09/lous-lagoon-soars-onto-ps5-later-this-year/ Hi, I’m Ines from Tiny Roar and we’re thrilled to announce that Lou’s Lagoon, our high-flying adventure, will be landing on PS5 later this year! Today, I’m excited to share more details about the game and take you behind the scenes to show some of the work that has gone into creating the places you’ll visit, the people you’ll meet, and the journey you’ll go on. A fierce storm and a missing uncle Lou’s Lagoon begins with you arriving on Limbo, a tropical archipelago that has been hit by a nasty storm; worse still, your beloved Uncle Lou was caught up in the storm and is missing. You’ll take to the skies in your trusty seaplane to trace Lou’s journey across Limbo’s islands and use a clever arsenal of gadgets to rebuild the communities and help residents back on their feet. Play Video We hope that you’ll fall in love with the colorful world we’ve created and that you’ll get swept up in Limbo’s peaceful way of life as you hop from island to island, each with a charming cast of islanders, in search of clues to Lou’s disappearance. Bringing Limbo to life When we started working on what would become the Limbo archipelago, we took a lot of inspiration from classic adventure titles from the 90s and 00s, with island settings. We felt a tropical archipelago really fit the vibe we wanted for the game – easy-going and a world you can immerse yourself in without stressing out (there’s enough of that in real life!). As Limbo is an archipelago, we enjoyed the opportunity to come up with ideas for fun thematics across the islands. When it came to designing the individual islands, we went through a lot of ideas including flying pyramids, an icy octopus island, and a creepy ghost ship but, in the end, we landed on a set of diverse island themes with our own unique stamp on them that should still feel familiar to anyone who had played adventure games before. Take Gleam Reef, for instance. We quickly landed on the idea of an aquatic vibe, featuring huge pink corals and we wanted its residents to fit in with this theme, which led to the creation of the Vooi. The Vooi are lanky and agile jellyfish-based islanders who we like to think lived underwater for a long time and have recently learned to live on land. They’re very chilled and love to ‘go with the flow’ but this means they sometimes accept their fate too easily, maybe you can help them with that? We took a similar approach when creating the wildlife that can be found across Limbo, building them as combinations of real animals. The Beever is part bee, part beaver. The Deergoat is… well, that one’s not hard to figure out. Each of these creatures carry different resources that you’ll need to collect and craft with as you help islanders and rebuild their communities, and we’ve worked hard to give players loads to discover whenever they land on an island for the first time. Ready for takeoff? As I mentioned earlier, you’ll travel from island to island in your seaplane and we’ve put a lot of effort into making flying feel satisfying and fun, whether you’re an experienced pilot or just discovering the fun of flying for the first time. You’ll see ring challenges throughout the skies above Limbo. We hope that these challenges offer a fun way to get to grips with piloting your seaplane. Why not try and beat your personal best as you get more confident behind the controls? Once you touch down, you’ll need to get to work on clearing up debris, gathering resources and crafting items to help restore the islands to their vibrant, pre-storm state (or even better?). Your key tool – and one of my favourite tools in the game – to help you do this is the Swirler 2000, which can grab storm debris and loose resources across the islands. For anyone who has played Slime Rancher, it’ll feel immediately familiar as you’re able to easily collect materials on the move. The whole Tiny Roar team are incredibly excited to be bringing Lou’s Lagoon to PS5. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release later this year and be sure to follow Lou’s Lagoon on social media. We can’t wait for PS5 players to explore Limbo and track down Uncle Lou!

Title: Big Walk hands-on report: cooperative chaos exploring a puzzle-filled open world Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 13:00:08 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/03/09/big-walk-hands-on-report-cooperative-chaos-exploring-a-puzzle-filled-open-world/ Big Walk begins the way all great co-op games should: a few friends in the same space, immediately poking at everything just to see what happens. I was able to bring two friends from the PS Blog team along to my hands-on session with House House’s upcoming cooperative adventure, because this is not just a game you play with friends. It is a game about what happens when you do. Play Video We started in a showroom purpose-built to help us find our Big Walk legs. We ran, jumped, crouched, sat, and generally threw ourselves around until movement felt natural. The first standout detail was independent arm movement. R2 and L2 raise each individual arm, and R1 and L1 point them forward. It feels instinctive, and while it may sound trivial, all that arm flailing quickly becomes a shared language. Waving, hand-raising, and other erratic gestures start to mirror natural in-person conversation, with plenty of pointing and “look over there!” From there we graduated to the basics: grabbing and lifting objects (and, critically, each other), pressing buttons, throwing balls, shaking bells. Once we felt in control of our limbs, we headed out for the promised big walk. The walk begins Stepping out into the open air, two things became immediately clear. One: the outside comes with a day/night cycle. We quickly realized we’d need to carry the light sources scattered around the area to stay effective in our exploration after dark.  Two: proximity chat is the conversational glue that keeps your cooperative crew tight. Drift too far and you’ll lose the conversation, and with it, the shared moment. The result is a gentle push toward staying together, and there was a genuine sense of concern whenever one of our party strayed into the bush without us. Later, there were times when splitting up and organizing made sense, but Big Walk wants to be a shared experience rather than people operating in parallel. Even when you’re briefly apart, the game nudges you toward staying in contact. It’s easy to imagine that becoming its own challenge once you’re relying on tools and whatever the world gives you to keep connected. During our walk, we found telescopes to watch other players as they solved a puzzle far away, and flares which could be used to reunite with lost companions, so there will no doubt be other options in the final adventure. Curiosity as a compass Now that we were outside, we did what players always do in a new world: we followed our natural instincts toward whatever looked interesting. This did not lead us astray. The island seems huge, and a few colourful structures stand out in the distance against the natural landscape. They demand investigation, so we walked. In fact, the moments between the puzzles were as delightful as the puzzles themselves. The theorising and chatting away are a core part of the fun. Once we reached a structure, we’d circle and examine it from every angle. Someone would point out a detail. Someone else would try an interaction; flick a switch, pull a lever, unlock a door. After a bit of back and forth, it would click. We’d understand what it wanted from us, and the game would open the path forward.And so we walked again.  Here for the vibes Big Walk gave us exactly what we wanted: a space to get lost with friends. Shared joyful moments punctuated by contemplative exploration, friendly chatter, small bursts of dopamine when teamwork paid off, and an undercurrent of playful chaos and mischief. We ruined our own plans. We fixed them together. The island became a playground. The proximity chat and physical expressiveness offered by developer House House’s design lay the groundwork for connection, while the rules, physics and objects of the world make it a perfect sandbox for high jinks and shenanigans. We left our preview cackling about our favourite moments, and with a group chat full of plans to return. Gather your friends. Two to twelve players can go on a whimsical Big Walk together on PS5 when the game launches into PlayStation Plus as a Monthly Game later this year.
