Title: Diablo 4's next season won't have any new mechanics or a new theme because all the focus is on Lord of Hatred Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:30:50 +0000 Link: https://www.vg247.com/diablo-4-season-of-reckoning-lord-of-hatred-launch Diablo 4 is gearing up for its biggest post-launch event yet: the upcoming release of the Lord of Hatred expansion.

Title: Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred review - A compelling conclusion delivered with a panache that proves Blizzard still got it Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.vg247.com/diablo-4-lord-of-hatred-expansion-review Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has, without question, been one of my most anticipated releases of 2026. Diablo 4 is likely my most played game ever by sheer hour count, so it’s easy to see why this expansion is so high up on my list. However many rakes Blizzard has stepped on over the course of the game’s live service, however many seasons or events it botched, I maintain that no other ARPG matches Diablo 4 in either game feel or production value.

Title: Final Fantasy XIV's Biggest Expansions Almost Had Very Different Names--Here's What They Were Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-xivs-biggest-expansions-almost-had-very-different-names-heres-what-they-were/1100-6539625/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f The name of Final Fantasy XIV's next expansion has officially been revealed. Announced during the Final Fantasy XIV North American Fan Festival's opening showcase, the next chapter in the game's Godless Realms Saga is titled Evercold, and will follow the player's Warrior of Light as they attempt to stop the Fourth Reflection from freezing over. However, according to game director Naoki Yoshida, the upcoming expansion was very nearly named something else.In a press conference held by Yoshida following the showcase, the director explained that Evercold's original name was actually rejected by Square Enix--and it's not the first time that's happened, either."Before we settled on [Evercold], there was another name candidate that we had. But I mean, that's happened in the past as well," Yoshida explained. "For example, when we were trying to come up with a name for what became Stormblood, one of the names that came was Rebellion. Unfortunately that was rejected for various reasons, including legal reasons, so we couldn't choose that one. For Shadowbringers, we thought Darkbringers, but that was rejected as well. For Endwalker, the candidate was World's End, but that was not possible either."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: A Single-Player Final Fantasy 14 Could Happen If It Weren't For One Big Problem, Director Yoshida Says Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-single-player-final-fantasy-14-could-happen-if-it-werent-for-one-big-problem-director-yoshida-says/1100-6539624/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Final Fantasy XIV's North American Fan Festival is currently underway in Anaheim, California, and with it has come some huge announcements about the MMORPG's future. During the festival's two-hour-long opening showcase, game director Naoki Yoshida (referred to as Yoshi-P by the community) announced that XIV's next expansion, Evercold, is slated to release in January 2027, and brings with it two new classes and several major changes. But while Yoshida delivered a lot of exciting news on stage, the director had plenty to say about the game off stage, too.Following the showcase, Yoshida met with members of the press to discuss both Evercold (which almost had a very different name, by the way) and Final Fantasy XIV as a whole. During this session, a reporter asked the director if he had ever considered creating a single-player Final Fantasy XIV--one more in line with the majority of the series' numbered titles. With zero hesitation, Yoshida replied, "Yes.""There are still a lot of people out there who look at an online Final Fantasy and they say, 'Well, an online Final Fantasy isn't a real Final Fantasy," Yoshida explained. He mentioned that, despite working on XIV for well over a decade now, even bringing just one more person to the world of Final Fantasy XIV remains an important mission to him. Naturally, this includes those who feel that XIV "isn't a real Final Fantasy," and would potentially jump in if it was a single-player experience.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Preorders For Patapon Creator's New Rhythm Game Are Now Live Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:11:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ratatan-buying-guide/1100-6539622/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Ratatan Standard Edition $40 | Releases July 16 Preorder at Best Buy Ratatan--a rhythmic roguelike action game from the creator of popular rhythm game series Patapon--is launching for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on July 16. Console players eager to pick up the upcoming game can preorder it on all platforms, including a $40 physical release available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 that comes with a special preorder bonus item. A Digital Deluxe Edition with even more exclsuive content will also be available on all platforms, though preorders aren't live just yet. That said, PC players who don't want to wait for the final release can grab the Early Access version on Steam right now for just $25.Ratatan Preorder BonusesPreordering the physical version of Ratatan will unlock the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansord in-game weapon. This extra item is included with the PS5 and Switch 2 physical editions. Developer Ratata Arts has also confirmed it will be a bonus for the upcoming Digital Deluxe Edition, though preorders for that version aren't live. It does not appear to be part of the Steam Early access release. We'll update this section if other preorder bonus information is announced. Ratatan Standard Edition $40 | Releases July 16 The standard physical edition of Ratatan includes the full base game on Switch or PS5. The Switch 2 version appears to be a normal game cartridge, not a Game Key-Card like other third-party Switch 2 releases, meaning you're getting all the game data on the cart so you can play right out of the box with no downloads or internet connection required. Preordering this version also gets you the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansword in-game item. You can secure your physical Switch 2 or PS5 copy for $40 at Best Buy. A $35 digital standard edition will also be available on all platforms, though digital preorders are not yet available. We'll be sure to update once listings go live at other retailers. Preorder at Best Buy Ratatan Digital Deluxe Edition$40 | Releases July 16Along with the standard edition, Ratatan is also getting a $40 Digital Deluxe Edition. Preorders aren't live yet, but you can expect listings to show up on PS5, Switch 2, and PC ahead of its July 16 release date. This version is $5 more than the digital standard edition and the same price as the physical standard edition, but packs in a few extra in-game items.

Title: Preorders Are Live For Splatoon: Raiders And Its Trio Of New Amiibo Figures Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:42:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/splatoon-raiders-buying-guide/1100-6539546/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Splatoon Raiders (Physical Edition) $60 | Releases July 23 Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at GameStop Splatoon Raiders (Digital Code) $50 | Releases July 23 Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at GameStop It's been nearly four years since Nintendo launched Splatoon 3, but fans of the series finally have a new game to look forward to--Splatoon Raiders is confirmed for a July 23 release. The Switch 2 exclusive is quite different from its predecessors, as it's a single-player focused experience that sees you battling hordes of Salmonids as you search the mysterious Spirhalite Islands for treasure. A few friends can tag along for a cooperative experience, but no doubt it's shaping up to be a truly different kind of Splatoon. It'll launch exclusively for Switch 2, and preorders are now open ahead of its arrival. It's available in a $60 physical edition and $50 digital version. There's also some cool Amiibo arriving alongside the game--like most Amiibo, we're expecting this to be popular, so check them out while you can. Splatoon Raiders (Physical Edition) $60 | Releases July 23 As mentioned above, Splatoon Raiders is launching with a $60 physical Edition on Switch 2. While there are no preorder bonuses or special editions, the physical version appears to include the full game data on the cartridge--which is also true of most other first-party Nintendo Switch 2 physical releases. Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at GameStop Splatoon Raiders (Digital Code) $50 | Releases July 23 If you want to save a few bucks, the digital version of Splatoon Raiders is just $50. Of course, the tradeoff here is you won't have a physical copy of the game, but otherwise, the digital version is identical to the physical. Digital preorders are available at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and the Nintendo eShop. Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at GameStop Along with the game itself, Nintendo also unveiled a trio of Splatoon Raiders Amiibo figures based on characters from this new entry in the Splatoon series. The three figures include Frye, Shiver, and Big Man, all of whom are part of the in-game musical group Deep Cut, which the player will join up with during Splatoon: Raiders' single-player campaign. Nintendo has yet to reveal what sort of content these Amiibo will unlock when scanned into Splatoon Raiders. We'd expect them to get you some sort of consumable items or useful in-game gear, but nothing official has been announced. Expect to learn more in the coming weeks. Until then, the Splatoon: Raiders Amiibo line launches the same day as the game, July 23. Preorders are available for $25 apiece at Best Buy. Keep in mind that most of the existing Splatoon Amiibo are sold out (or listed with inflated prices), so we're expecting the same to happen for these upcoming releases. Splatoon Raiders: Frye Amiibo $25 | Releases July 23 Preorder at Best Buy Splatoon Raiders: Shiver Amiibo $25 | Releases July 23 Preorder at Best Buy Splatoon Raiders: Big Man Amiibo $25 | Releases July 23 Preorder at Best Buy If you haven't yet played Splatoon 3, it's currently on sale for just $47 (was $60) at Amazon and Walmart. Our review gave it a 7/10, noting its fun single-player campaign and fun online multiplayer modes, though some online connectivity issues and lack of enemy variety held it back from greatness. Still, it's a fun family-friendly romp, and it's certainly worth checking out now that it's priced under $50.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Final Fantasy 14 Is Coming To Switch 2, But With An Annoying Caveat Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:59:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-14-is-coming-to-switch-2-but-with-an-annoying-caveat/1100-6539621/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f Although Final Fantasy XIV's time on the PlayStation 4 might soon be coming to an end, the critically acclaimed MMO RPG will soon show up on a new console: the Nintendo Switch 2. But while the prospect of grinding through raids and dungeons from the comfort of your own bed is certainly enticing, it turns out that this port comes with a strange caveat.Shortly after Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu announced Final Fantasy XIV would be coming to Switch 2 during the game's North American Fan Festival, Kiryu launched into an explanation of how subscriptions will work on the console. Whereas PC, Xbox, and PlayStation will all work with a standard Final Fantasy XIV subscription, the Nintendo Switch 2 requires players have a distinct subscription for just that console. Thankfully, players will not need a Switch Online subscription to play--though Kiryu did add that Final Fantasy XIV subscribers can get one for 50% less. Additionally, those with an active PC, Xbox, and PlayStation subscription will get 50% off a Switch 2 subscription."After discussions with Nintendo, it was decided that the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy XIV would require a separate subscription," Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida added. "This was decided after many months of discussions with Nintendo and we understand this is different to how we've done things before."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Immaculate announced Sydney Sweeney as a promising scream queen Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 00:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/sydney-sweeney-immaculate-religious-horror-science-faith/ The age-old science vs. faith debate is often the focal point of classic genre films. In Robert Zemeckis’ Contact(1997), Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) embarks on a one-woman mission after scientists receive conclusive proof of extraterrestrial life. But once first contact is established, Arroway experiences something so unbelievable it cannot be proven in front of a scientific council. Religious fanatics interpret her encounter as proof of divine existence, while the scientific community views it with harsh skepticism. While Arroway isn’t able to resolve this ideological conflict, she puts her faith in this unscientific encounter after it fundamentally alters her perspective on life.

Hellish enemies and old secrets await you in this new chapter of Sanctuary's story, which you can experience with one of the two new classes — or any of the classic ones.

Title: Pragmata's ending, explained: What happened to Hugh and Diana? Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 22:00:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/pragmata-ending-explainer-analysis/ Pragmata’s plot surrounding a rogue AI and killer robots is a bit thin, so the relationship between astronaut Hugh and childlike android Diana is what carries its narrative. They spend the bulk of the game together fighting clankers and bonding at an artificial beach when they get a moment to breathe. (Does Diana breathe? Probably not.)

Title: Kiln is a blast, no matter how many people play it Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 21:43:54 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/kiln-recommendation/ Double Fine Productions and Xbox Game Studios released Kilnon April 23, and the oddball multiplayer game is a riot. It's unlike any other multiplayer game I've played this year and actively encourages me to create within it. Kiln delivers all the charm and originality you'd expect from a Double Fine game, but molds it into a casual multiplayer vessel rather than a single-player one.

Title: Wistoria: Wand and Sword creators say the anime popularity challenged them for the better Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 20:00:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/wistoria-wand-and-sword-season-2-creators-interview/ The underdog trope is the basis for some of the most successful anime and manga — even if it's hard to be described as an underdog when your dad was the Mayor of Ninja Town. From Naruto’s eponymous hero to Black Clover’s Asta, fans of the medium have seen scores of protagonists who begin their journey saddled with one or more big disadvantages over their peers, only to overcome them and rise to the top of their world.

Title: Tag, You’re It: GeForce NOW Levels Up Game Discovery With Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ Labels Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:00:51 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-in-app-labels/ GeForce NOW is doubling down on what matters most: gamers. This week’s upgrades bring smarter libraries, making it easier than ever for gamers to turn a PC collection into a cloud-powered flex. It starts with giving existing libraries time to shine. Gamers can bring the games they love to the cloud, stream them with high performance and see the value of a GeForce NOW membership grow with new games, rewards and features. First up, finding something to play gets an upgrade. The new in-app labels, first announced at GDC, are now live — making it simple to spot titles and new releases from connected subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+. All that sets the stage for six new games rolling onto the cloud this week. Leading the charge is Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard, a chaotic new spin on the fast, unpredictable and packed-with-personality Vampire Survivors universe. Even the vampires can’t avoid the spotlight this time. Round it out with a thunderous new Marvel Rivals skin for Thor, and it’s a lineup fitted to perfection. Just Play It GeForce NOW lets members connect their existing gaming subscriptions to bring more of their games with them on the go, across devices. Today, keeping track of which games can be streamed just got even easier. New in‑app game labels on GeForce NOW make it easy to see which titles are part of Xbox Game Pass or Ubisoft+ game libraries once accounts are connected. Tagged and ready. Clear labels now appear directly on each game’s details — eliminating guesswork and making it simple to see exactly what’s available to play instantly from connected subscriptions. Stream hundreds of NVIDIA RTX-powered titles with a single click. More clarity, less searching — and one more reason the cloud gaming library has never looked better. Feeding Time Make sure to bite hard. Get fired up for the feeding frenzy — Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard is a roguelite horde escape game that stacks absurd power‑ups and turns every run into a highlight reel of close calls. Stay mobile, grab upgrades and try not to become the snack. Every build becomes a delightful walking disaster, with weapons, perks and abilities combining into wild synergies that can turn a run from barely surviving to absolutely steamrolling in just a few upgrades. Dense enemy waves, screen‑filling attacks and unpredictable upgrade paths keep each attempt fresh — and dangerously prone to “one more run.” On GeForce NOW, all that chaos stays razor sharp, with smooth performance for dodge‑heavy moments, crisp effects even when the screen is packed and the ability to jump back into the madness from any supported device. Thunder Drip Thor is striking poses again. The God of Thunder is trading his classic red cape for an umber‑toned, battle‑ready look that can only mean one thing: a serious style upgrade. GeForce NOW Premium members get first access to the Thor Midgard Umber Skin in Marvel Rivals starting today, and those on the free tier can grab it starting Friday, April 24, bringing stormy flair to the battlefield.  Claim the reward by Saturday, May 23 — or before Odin hoards them all. Redeem through the GeForce NOW account portal and enter the code in game on Steam. Then stride forth, majestic and moody, because this look is eternal — at least until the next mythic crossover. Time for Adventures Members can look for the following new games this week: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, April 21) Tides of Tomorrow (New release on Steam, April 22, GeForce RTX 5080-ready) ‘83 (New release on Steam, April 23, GeForce RTX 5080-ready) Diablo III (New release on Ubisoft Connect, April 23) Crimson Desert (Xbox, available to play via Xbox Play Anywhere, GeForce RTX 5080-ready) MapleStory M (Steam) What are you planning to play this weekend?

Title: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: first details, launches on PS5 July 9 Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 16:31:50 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/23/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-first-details-launches-on-ps5-july-9/ Has it really been 13 years since we took privateer-turned-pirate and assassin Edward Kenway across the seven seas? Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remains one of the series’ most treasured titles, so whether you’re familiar with its swashbuckling exploits or a new fish to its depths, Ubisoft’s announcement of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on PS5 offers the perfect chance to see why it’s hoisted in such high regard. A faithful remake which focuses on the original’s core single-player adventure, the development team haven’t only applied a fresh lick of presentational paint to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. They’ve also looked at quality of life gameplay improvements, conducting workshops for player feedback to ensure any changes didn’t stray too far from what made the game tick. So, what can we expect? Play Video What’s back from the original Edward Kenway Returns: Of course, Captain Edward Kenway is central to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, his story remaining the driving force of the game. Performed by Matt Ryan, the character’s original voice actor, Kenway is joined by his iconic cast of notorious real life pirates, including Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Charles Vane. Caribbean Setting: As with its story, the luscious locations are all present and accounted for, with its bustling cities, dense jungles, and sun-kissed beaches spread across the likes of Nassau, Kingston, and Havana. Your vessel: Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw, was a big part of the original game, and rest assured, you can still set sail, engage in boarding parties and raids, and listen to the crew’s jaunty sea shanties. What’s new or improved PS5 Pro Enhancements: Ubisoft is taking advantage of PS5 Pro to deliver an immersive pirating adventure. “We were extremely impressed with the enhanced PSSR. It really redefines the graphics experience in console games. It allowed us to render our dynamic tropical world full of swaying palm trees, violent storms and rogue waves without visible upscaling artifacts, delivering sharp pixel quality and great image stability.” – Jussi Markkanen, Technical Director, Ubisoft Singapore “Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced pushes ray tracing further across all modes on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. PlayStation 5 brings more consistent lighting, while PlayStation 5 Pro delivers a no-compromise experience with advanced ray tracing performance and enhanced PSSR.” – Nicolas Lopez, Technical Architect, Ubisoft Montréal New Game Engine: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced uses the latest version of the Anvil engine, which means more detailed character faces, richer animations, and denser crowds. And it shows – the varied environments, on land, across the sea, and beneath the waves all look more vivid, vibrant, and expansive. Expanded Soundtrack: Some new audio tracks join the visuals, with French musician and Assassin’s Creed fan Woodkid contributing. And those sea shanties I mentioned earlier? Well, expect even more to be added to your favourites.  Parkour Improvements: Kenway was always fleet of foot, but now he is even more agile with an enhanced parkour system which includes the ability to perform three jumps along with back and side ejects. The result is smoother traversal movement that flows more naturally, feels tighter, and makes assassinations look even better. And speaking of assassinations… Reworked Combat System: Fighting is faster and more fluid, with an emphasis on making the most of your combos, perfect parry, and up to four chained takedowns. There are also additional destructible elements in the environments to make your attacks feel even more devastating. Better Stealth: Kenway’s covert options have been given a polish, too. Now you can crouch freely – and speedily – to approach targets. Also, failing any tailing or eavesdropping objectives no longer end in an instant desync. Instead of having to restart the mission when you’re discovered, the target reacts to your sloppy stealth and you have to salvage the mission however you can. New Chapters and Storylines: New content has been added to both the modern day sections and the main tale, including a new scene with Edward’s wife Caroline, specifically written by the original’s lead writer, Darby McDevitt. Kenway’s not the only character to benefit from fresh writing, either, with expanded arcs for some of the other crew, such as Blackbeard. New Characters:There are also few fresh faces, via new officers Lucy Baldwin, The Padre, and Deadman Smith. Each one has a unique backstory and special abilities – for example, Deadman can unlock a devastating double shot from broadside weapons on the Jackdaw – but you’ll need to earn their trust to recruit them.  Expanded Naval Arsenal:While we’re talking about the Jackdaw, sea battles are even more spectacular via new alternate fire upgrades for every weapon. Navigating also has a little more spice to it due to the dynamic weather system affecting how the ship handles. And most importantly for animal lovers, you can now recruit a cat or monkey to your crew. And all of this is just the start. There’ll be more info fired across the broadside of the coming months as Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced sails towards its July 9 release on PS5.

Title: Zero Parades: For Dead Spies – Meet the whole sick cast of characters Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:01:22 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/23/zero-parades-for-dead-spies-meet-the-whole-sick-cast-of-characters/ Hey everyone! We’re really excited to be back on PlayStation Blog with a brand new trailer for Zero Parades: For Dead Spies. Last year in September’s State of Play, we showed off some of the gameplay features that set Zero Parades apart. Today, we want to shed some first light onto the characters at the heart of our story. Play Video In Zero Parades, you play as Hershel Wilk, alias Cascade, a brilliant but cursed spy for the Operant Bureau who’s been brought back by her controllers for a desperate assignment. Five years ago, your old network — the Whole Sick Crew — was blown to pieces. Now, it’s up to you to put them back together as best you can: Karolina Cryptonym: Kindred  The youngest member of the old crew, as much a younger sibling as an asset. You taught K everything she knows about the shadow arts, from infiltration, to handling interrogations and beyond. When you last saw her, she was undercover inside a highly experimental Dream Study. For all you know, she might still be there. Ramses Cryptonym: Radian  The Whole Sick Crew’s resident circuit-surgeon, Ramses specializes in audio surveillance and forensics. There’s no line he can’t tap, no room he can’t bug. He was also the closest thing you had to a true friend among the old crew, someone you could let your guard down around. You dearly miss sinking into an old couch with one of his meticulously rolled joints. Tempo Cryptonym: Taxman Some people have a huge presence in a room, Tempo has a huge presence in rooms he’s not even in. This larger-than-life character is a major player in the Portofiran underworld. The kind of guy who can get you anything through legal channels and absolutely everything through non-legal ones. He was one of the first to spot the promise of Luzian tech and pop culture before it took over the world, and he’s made a killing for his foresight. You’ll know him by his colourful manner of speaking and the imported Ouroboros Black cigarettes he chain smokes. Vespar  Cryptonym: Virtue Vespar is a member of the carabineros – Portofiro’s elite investigative police. His connections to the city’s authorities and informants within the local mob make him an invaluable source of illicit information.. When he’s off-duty, you’ll find him drinking at the Fogged Mirror. When he’s on-duty, honestly, there’s a fair chance you’ll find him drinking there as well. Eszti Cryptonym: Estoc No-nonsense, venom-tongued, and extremely competent, Eszti found herself deep undercover in the Portofiran government as a liaison with EMTERR – a global development bank and rival intelligence service. It was Eszti who stuck her neck out to warn you that the network had been compromised, but when it came time to leave town, you left her out to dry along with everyone else. Holocene Real name unknown Your enigmatic second-in-command and the crew’s master cryptographer. HOLOCENE has a theory about almost everything, including one about a rival intelligence service run by cats. If you need a cipher decoded, he is your guy. If you need someone to have a normal conversation with, maybe look elsewhere. That’s it – the Whole Sick Crew, aka: The Friends You Left to Die. To pull off your assignment, you’re going to have to get at least some of them back on your side. It’s not just about who you can trust, it’s who can trust you? Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is coming this year on PS5. Wishlist it today.

Title: Saros: gameplay modifiers, accessibility options, and more detailed Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:00:36 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/23/saros-gameplay-modifiers-accessibility-options-and-more-detailed/ Today we are thrilled to share our launch trailer for Saros, coming out on April 30 for PlayStation 5 and enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro. We’re also excited to share new information on gameplay modifiers, accessibility options, and more. Play Video For our launch trailer we wanted to show more mystery, characters, weapons and, of course, more bullet ballet action for you all. The opening features Stack, performed by the brilliant Keone Young (Deadwood) painting images that are being forced into his mind on Carcosa, followed by stunning imagery of the Cathedral. The perfect way to establish the tone and world we are launching you into. We also tease a mysterious future London alley and a hotel corridor that you’ll experience as Arjun. Saros  is more than just a dark sci-fi action game – we can’t wait for you all to experience these story focused liminal spaces during Arjun’s journey on Carcosa. There’s also more twists and turns, but it’s best if they are experienced when playing. Last, but not least, we wanted to show more action, including the main weapons and Power weapons you will use. Two key Carcosan weapons shown in the trailer are Chakram and the Illumine Beam Power weapon. Saros features multiple weapon archetypes and multiple weapon variants which are generated every cycle. The trailer also gives you a glimpse of the incredible boss fights you’ll engage in against the Overlords of Carcosa. This is just a taste of what you will encounter. Carcosan Modifiers allow you to adjust your experience  With Saros we set out to create a challenging and rewarding action game where every death is valuable. So prepare to die, but also come back stronger with every cycle. With Carcosan Modifiers, you can adjust your experience to lower the challenge… or ramp it up. Find a balance that’s more suited to you. Combined with the Armour Matrix, you’ll love upgrading Arjun and adjusting your stats and abilities.  For players who want less challenge to beat that boss or a tough biome, use Protection Modifiers to adjust your experience. Damage Enhancement allows you to increase your damage dealt to hostiles. Shield Power Enhancement makes your Soltari Shield not consume power so you can use your Power Weapon more often. Lastly Overlord Restoration is a game changer which allows you to be at full armor integrity when you face the Overlords on Carcosa. For players who want even more challenge, use the Trial Modifiers. Weapon Decay means your main weapon will decay through usage. Hostile Death Projectiles is pretty self explanatory. Last but not least my two favourites are Growth Incapacitor I, which removes second chance, and Growth Incapacitor II, which removes all Armour Matrix enhancements for even more of a challenge. Expanded accessibility  As well as Carcosan Modifiers, Saros also has accessibility features at launch. It was a goal of our team to build upon Returnal’s accessibility features and expect a deep dive into these features ahead post launch. Today we are happy to share that we will support colour blindness features. For example, we can ensure all players can distinguish between Normal, Corrupted and Nova projectiles. There’ll also be a Dialogue focus mode feature, controller remapping and plenty more. More news on our full feature set coming post launch. Amazing collaborators and gratitude  We have worked with amazing collaborators on Saros at Housemarque and we also wanted to give them a shout out for this launch focused blog. As well as the amazing teams at PlayStation, Nixxes, PlayStation Creative Arts and Xdev, we have also teamed up with lots of brilliant external studios filled with artists and developers that have made Saros what it is today. Thanks to everyone who contributed from these fantastic teams and also to our amazing cast of actors who provided the soul for our characters you will love and lose. We are also happy to announce that award winning graphic novelist and storyteller Ram V, worked with our narrative team at Housemarque on the characters and world of Saros during our pre-production. Ram’s approach to cosmic horror, authenticity and his perspective helped us shape Arjun and Nitya as living and breathing characters.. Come back stronger April 30  As we prepare for launch we also wanted to thank you for following and supporting Saros since our announcement back in February 2025 and to all our Housemarque fans for the past 30 years. Your passion and hype has been amazing and we cannot wait for you to play Saros very soon. Saros is the next gameplay-first, single-player action game from Housemarque and our amazing collaborators. A dream project made by a dream team. Purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition of Saros for 48 hours early access to the game.

Title: ShatterRush is obviously an indie take on Titanfall, but considering the lack of threequel, I'm sure you won't mind Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 21:53:20 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/shatterrush-is-obviously-an-indie-take-on-titanfall-but-considering-the-lack-of-threequel-im-sure-you-wont-mind There is a Titanfall-shaped hole in this world that could be filled by Respawn, yet won't be, for silly reasons like money. I hate money! It is a scourge we must do away with. Until that point, we could of course moan and lament the absence of a Titanfall 3. That sounds quite dull, so instead I will point you towards ShatterRush, a game that is oh so evidently picking up what Titanfall 2 left behind, and adding into the mix some fresh elements of its own.

Title: Crymelight is a Hades-esque roguelike that sends the white rabbit chasing Alice to hell to face her sins and fight for her freedom Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 20:34:33 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/crymelight-is-a-hades-esque-roguelike-that-sends-the-white-rabbit-chasing-alice-to-hell-to-face-her-sins-and-fight-for-her-freedom I do not know if FuRyu make games that one can easily jump to calling "good" but they are regularly putting out mid-budget (I assume) games that make me go "oh, there's certainly some sauce here." That's certainly how I felt about the Kingdom Heartsian Reynatis (I will defend this prime cut of jank until my dying breath). And now they are back with a game that I instantly have no idea how to pronounce: Crymelight. Read more

Title: Chuba! Star Wars: Galactic Racer's release date has been accidentally revealed early Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 19:06:11 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/chuba-star-wars-galactic-racers-release-date-has-been-accidentally-revealed-early We all make mistakes sometimes, which is exactly what someone did today on the Steam page for Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Video games' own eye in the sky Wario64 shared word of said mistake, which is that the release date for the game was accidentally shared wholesale, alongside some details of a fancier edition of the racing game.

Title: After losing its creative director, it looks like Assassin's Creed Hexe has lost its game director now too Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 17:03:10 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/after-losing-its-creative-director-it-looks-like-assassins-creed-hexe-has-lost-its-game-director-now-too Welp, the game Assassin's Creed Hexe may have been a few months ago probably won't be the game it will be. Back in February, the still quite mysterious Hexe lost its creative director, Clint Hocking. Now it appears that the game has also lost its game director, Benoit Richer. Read more

Title: Final Fantasy 14's next expansion ushers in an ice age and adds in an Evangelion crossover for good measure Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 15:57:34 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/final-fantasy-14s-next-expansion-ushers-in-an-ice-age-and-adds-in-an-evangelion-crossover-for-good-measure It is happening again. By that I mean Final Fantasy 14 is getting a new expansion, once again ensuring my timeline will be flooded with thousands of screenshots of tall bunny women and regular sized cat boys. It's called Evercold this time around, seemingly bringing about a cold snap to Eorzea, if the lengthy teaser trailer is anything to go by. The new overarching storyline started with the previous expansion, Dawntrail, has a name now too: the Godless Realms Saga. Sounds cosy! Read more
