Title: Backrooms Director Praises Valve’s “Integrity” For Not Making Sequels Just For Money Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 18:34:52 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/backrooms-director-praises-valves-integrity-for-not-making-sequels-just-for-money/ Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old director of one of 2026's most successful movies in Backrooms, is also a big fan of game developer Valve and specifically how the company is known to select its projects. Given the enormous success of Backrooms, people are naturally wondering what he's going to do next, and Parsons teased that "stuff may already be moving a little bit." Speaking on The Town podcast, Parsons singled out Valve as the closest comparison to what he would call his North Star in terms of his creative philosophy. "I think the integrity they have expressed with ... the philosophy of, 'Don't make it unless there is a meaningful reason motivating it behind the scenes.' Valve, they take it to such an extreme, where it's obviously motivated by the hardware and the technology aspect," he said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f90cLhMyCI The host, Matt Belloni, then interjected to say Parsons' answer sounded something like what Spider-Man actor Tom Holland said recently. Holland told GQ that he remembers having challenging conversations with Sony about Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He said he remembers saying, "'We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s Spider-Man 4 and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?'" he said. This way of thinking should be the baseline for artists, Parsons said in his explanation for why he likes how Valve operates. Valve, for its part, owns a number of popular franchises that haven't gotten lots of sequels, including the Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Half-Life franchises. And when Valve does make sequels, they aren't always what people expect. For the Half-Life series, few could have predicted that Valve would make Half-Life: Alyx for virtual reality, but the company did, and it was a big success. Fans are still waiting for Half-Life 3, however, and it may never come. Valve has the time and freedom to pursue projects in this way in part because of how massively successful its business is; founder Gabe Newell is a billionaire and has a fleet of megayachts. Valve has courted controversy, too, and the company is currently facing a lawsuit over monopoly concerns. Also in the interview, Parsons discussed what's coming next for him, saying he's reluctant to work on an established IP--though there are "one or two" exceptions. These would be franchises from the early 2000s that resonate strongly and personally with Parsons. He declined to name them outright, and when Belloni chimed in to say naming them could help producers in Hollywood make it happen, Parsons teased, "Stuff may already be moving a little bit." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HjdiohVOik That being said, Parsons said he is more interested in telling his own original stories. "Needing to step into someone else's view of life tends to damage the initial point for me," he said. "So the only ones that I would look at are ones that have shaped my own experience of life so much that I feel like I have something to do with that conversation in the first place." He was asked specifically if he would jump at the chance to make a Star Wars or Star Trek movie, or an adaptation of any "big" franchises, and he said that doesn't interest him generally. Finally, Parsons teased that, among the possibilities for what he could make in the future, is a video game. "I'd love to look at games in the future," he said. Anyone who has seen Backrooms may have noticed that the film's creaking door sound was borrowed from Valve. Parsons has also said Valve's Portal series has been his single biggest influence creatively. Backrooms released on May 29 and has so far earned an astonishing $135 million globally against a $10 million budget. It is A24's most successful movie of all time in the US, and its first ever to pass $100 million domestically. The movie is based on Parson's web series, which itself is based on a 4chan creepypasta thread. It stars Oscar-nominated actors Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, as they explore liminal spaces at a furniture store.

Title: Devil May Cry’s Anime Was Secretly A Movie Trilogy All Along, And Season 3 Is The End Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:31:58 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/devil-may-crys-anime-was-secretly-a-movie-trilogy-all-along-and-season-3-is-the-end/ Netflix's Devil May Cry Netflix has dropped some good and bad news for fans of its Devil May Cry animated adaptation, as it has confirmed that the show will be back for a third and final season. Showrunner Adi Shankar also addressed how the third season will bring the first--and only--arc of Devil May Cry to a close, and it represents the culmination of the story he aimed to tell. But with one season left to go, he hinted at how he's planning to do something different. "This was always Dante's Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat," Shankar wrote. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up The Force Edge Saga. Since its inception, The Force Edge Saga has been designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series. One last thing--'3' is not going to be a normal third 'season' of a TV show. With 'Season 3,' I am doing something very different. I am crafting a blueprint for how this game is won. See You all in 'Paradise.' Shankar also wrote about how both seasons of Devil May Cry have punched above their weight and "wiped the floor" with AAA IP adaptations with "millions of dollars" in marketing. According to the showrunner, he set out to make American animation cool, expand Devil May Cry's footprint across the world, and become a "ratings god" in the process. "I set out to prove that video game adaptations do not have to be flavorless corporate sludge assembled in a content factory by emotionally vacant brand managers who secretly loathe the source material," Shankar added. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpie-fec5qY&pp=ygUeZGV2aWwgbWF5IGNyeSBzZWFzb24gMiB0cmFpbGVy The second season of Devil May Cry recently landed on Netflix, and it picks up shortly after the events of the first season. With Vergil joining the cast, the show found its trinity of characters to focus the story on, and reviews have been generally positive for Season 2. Several lingering plot threads still remain unresolved, but as Shankar has teased, he's looking to end the show on a high note when it returns. The Biggest New Game Releases Of June 2026 View Images

Title: NBA The Run Already Beats NBA 2K In One Key Area Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:25:45 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nba-the-run-already-beats-nba-2k-in-one-key-area/ NBA The Run is much more fun than I expected. Built as a revival of the arcade take on basketball games seen in titles such as NBA Jam and, more specifically, NBA Street, I thought I knew what I was getting into and yet it really surprised me.  This is partly because of how the team at Play By Play Studios, built from some former EA Sports developers, ensured that defense is as powerful as offense. Playing against Wemby was a pain because his alien-like frame allowed him to consistently block my shots. The game is flashy, but not just on offense, and I expect that will be key to its chances of finding an audience. But NBA The Run does something else that's arguably as important, especially since it's an NBA game in an era dominated by NBA 2K. Of course, 2K is a purer simulation of the sport, but for players looking to play co-op basketball with their friends, there's only so much time in the day. Thankfully, NBA The Run dodges the biggest pothole that NBA 2K sadly and intentionally drives into year after year: a broken in-game economy. Whereas NBA 2K is a game that not only promotes, but nearly demands, players spend extra money to make their avatar more skilled as soon as they hit the game's social City mode, NBA The Run blocks out all of that mess. It's a 3v3 co-op game with a single price tag ($30 or $40 for the game's base and special editions, respectively), and that's it. In-game cosmetics are just cosmetic. There's no way to pay your way to victory, no way to swipe your credit card and enhance your player. As much as I love NBA 2K, that just has not been the case for a while now, and it's a point I try to hammer home every September when I review the latest game, even as so much else in that series is laudable and often extremely fun. In this way, NBA The Run will debut with a key leg up over the competition. Its roster is full of current stars, like Anthony Edwards, Steph Curry, and the Celtics' pair of Js, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. For some players, you'll even find rookie versions, like an early Cavs edition of LeBron James. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvgJugUaKWQ Wisely borrowing from Fall Guys' quick tournament structure, the titular run refers to the tournaments in which you play several short games. Its survive-and-advance framework means that every time you play, you'll face off against other teams progressing through the tourney, too. If you win four games in a row, you'll claim a trophy (a la the Fall Guys crown), and the game tracks how many you've earned over time--even allowing you to show off your total count with an emote in pre- and post-game screens. This tournament structure works well thanks to how quickly the games are played. Wins feel earned, but losses don't sting too much. Within a moment, you can be right back in a new round. The destination is the point, but thanks to core gameplay that looks and feels great, the journey is worth the inevitable shortcomings that any team will face at times. But all of that is lifted up by NBA The Run's refusal to get bogged down by microtransaction min-maxing, unlike the game's foremost rival. NBA The Run's price tag also seems to help it avoid using such tactics. The developers explained to me that, when they were first starting out on this game four years ago, Karthik Bala, the CEO of Velen Studios (the team behind Knockout City), offered them strong advice: Avoid free-to-play because "the graveyard is way too big." Maybe a free version of this game falls for those same microtransaction pitfalls, as the team may have felt pressured to increase player spending by any means. Thankfully, in this universe, the studio avoids us ever finding out. After playing NBA The Run, I certainly wouldn't say I'm done with NBA 2K. But because it's far more wallet-friendly and far less time-intensive, all on top of just being fun to play, I'll definitely be making time for NBA The Run in my rotation. NBA The Run arrives on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on June 9.

Title: All CoD: Black Ops 7 And Warzone Season 4 Weapons And How To Unlock Them Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:16:00 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-cod-black-ops-7-and-warzone-season-4-weapons-and-how-to-unlock-them/ Call of Duty Season 4 arrives in Black Ops 7 and Warzone on June 4, and Activision has detailed six weapons you can earn throughout the season. Season 4 expands the weapon pool with new guns and an additional melee weapon, and they can all be earned for free. In this guide, we’ll highlight all the new Season 4 weapons in Call of Duty and how you can unlock them. The Season 4 roadmap for Black Ops 7 and Warzone details a brand-new battle pass, more multiplayer maps, additional Zombies maps, and Fortune's Keep returns to Warzone. Another major highlight is a limited-time multiplayer mode designed as a "classic" moshpit playlist inspired by Black Ops 2's movement and gameplay, which will remove the game's omnimovement, sliding, and wall-jump abilities. If you miss the unlock window for any weapon on this list, it will be added to the Armory section of the Black Ops 7 and Warzone menus. This will let you complete a different unlock challenge to earn the weapon. This also applies for any of the past seasonal weapons or loadout items you might’ve missed. KRS-7.62 KRS-7.62 marksman rifle The KRS-7.62 marksman rifle is described as being a "strong and steady" semi-auto rifle with the capability of a reliable two-hit elimination against unarmored enemies up to 25 meters out. How to unlock the KRS-7.62: This gun is unlocked as an HVT reward on page three of the Season 4 battle pass. Weapon details: Levels: 38 Mags: 3 Mag Size 10 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Prestige attachment: Barrel - 15" MFS Incursion Barrel This prestige attachment is a specialized barrel that provides a significant improvement to bullet penetration damage, bullet velocity, and visual recoil stabilization. Equipping it will block Fire Mods from being added to the build. CBRS-3 CBRS-3 submachine gun The CBRS-3 is described as a full-auto submachine gun with a high capacity, rechambering magazine. It's also a well-rounded gun with excellent range and recoil. How to unlock the CBRS-3: This gun is unlocked as an HVT reward on page six of the Season 4 battle pass. Weapon details: Levels: 36 Mags: 3 Mag Size: 60 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Prestige attachment: Magazine - MFS Carousel Fast Mag This prestige attachment is a lightweight magazine containing 60 rounds that rechambers on its own to reduce the interruption to sustained fire. This is designed to improve reload speed and handling of the CBRS-3. Grimhawk Grimhawk special weapon The Grimhawk is categorized as one of Black Ops 7's special weapons. This weapon is described as a full-auto specialized rifle. It fires low-velocity homing rounds that lock onto targets. How to unlock the Grimhawk: This gun will be available to unlock as one of the weekly challenge rewards during Season 4. Weapon details: Levels: 30 Mags: 3 Mag Size: 25 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Barrel, Magazine Prestige attachment: Barrel - Long Barrel This prestige attachment is a modified barrel enabling homing behavior for rounds fired from hip at close range, but it sacrifices ADS homing functionality. This barrel is designed to improve hipfire spread and movement speed. VX Compact VX Compact submachine gun The VX Compact is described as a full-auto assault rifle with a "best-in-class rate-of-fire and excellent handling," but it is balanced by having a lower range and ammo capacity than the other guns in its class. How to unlock the VX Compact: This gun will be available to unlock as a reward for the Illicit Cargo Camo event arriving later in the season. Weapon Details: Levels: 42 Mags: 3 Mag size: 25 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Prestige attachment: Magazine - MFS Impetus Fast Mag This prestige attachment is an extended magazine that auto-ejects to achieve the fastest possible reload speed and improves bullet deviation and recoil stabilization. Executioner's Duet Executioner's Duet melee weapon The Executioner's Duet is an axe-styled melee weapon described as having "high damage, short range, and very fast attack speed." How to unlock the Executioner's Duet: This melee weapon is unlocked as a reward for an event arriving later in the season. Weapon details: Levels: 30 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: None This weapon does not feature a prestige attachment. AN-94 AN-94 assault rifle The popular AN-94 assault rifle from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 returns in Black Ops 7. This is a fully automatic assault rifle, and the first two rounds fire at a faster rate. It features slower handling and mobility, and players can toggle the weapon's firing mode to switch between full-auto and a variant of semi-auto firing. How to unlock the AN-94: This gun will be available to unlock as a reward for an event arriving later in the season. Weapon details: Levels: 42 Mags: 3 Mag Size: 30 Mastery Badges: Yes Attachments: Optic, Muzzle, Barrel, Underbarrel, Magazine, Rear Grip, Stock, Laser, Fire Mods Prestige attachment: Barrel - 15" MFS Triumvirate Barrel The details of this prestige attachment are "redacted," so Activision will likely reveal this later in the season, likely with the Season 4 Reloaded blog.

Title: Forza Horizon 6: Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge Location Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:13:51 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/forza-horizon-6-pitcher-perfect-photo-challenge-location/ Forza Horizon 6's introductory festival playlist, Welcome to Japan, has now moved into the Winter season--and it's brought a fresh set of challenges along with it. One of these is the Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge, which requires you to find and take a photo inside a baseball stadium somewhere in Japan. No worries, though, as we've got everything you need to know below. Here's how to complete the Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge in Forza Horizon 6. Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge location in Forza Horizon 6 To complete the Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge, you'll need to take a photo in front of the Edogawa baseball stadium. This stadium is located on the lower level of the western side of Tokyo City, nestled between two major highways. Use the map below for an exact location. Pitcher Perfect photo challenge location. Edogawa baseball stadium is fairly hard to miss once you're nearby, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot. However, you'll need to wait to enter photo mode until you're in the right area, as the challenge requires you to take a photo inside the stadium. Taking a photo outside will not complete the challenge. Drive into the stadium by breaking through the gate at the front. Once you're inside, press up on the D-Pad to enter photo mode, then press A to snap a pic. This will complete the Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge and net you the Slide Whistle car horn, as well as some points toward your Winter season progress. Photograph your car inside the stadium. The Pitcher Perfect Photo Challenge is only one of multiple new challenges available for Winter, though. If you want to score the 2019 Subaru STI S209 and 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser AT37, you'll need to put some more effort into finishing up the rest of the playlist, so keep at it! Forza Horizon 6 is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a PS5 version slated for release later this year. The Best Xbox Game Pass Games In 2026 View Images

Title: Hands-on report — Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:30:03 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/04/hands-on-report-ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve/ Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve begins with a losing war. After a lightning strike by the Republic of Sotoa, the armed forces of the Federation of Central Usea are struggling to survive — and as an FCU fighter pilot, you’re joining the remnants of a military that’s barely holding on. After playing through several of the campaign missions in Ace Combat 8, I got a sense of how developer Project Aces is telling its story of a desperate aircraft carrier crew trying to keep the battle going, and how you’ll rise to become a hotshot fighter ace, and a source of hope, for the embattled FCU.

When you first arrive aboard the aircraft carrier Endurance, you’re introduced to the plan to keep the FCU going: a social media blitz focused on a legendary pilot known as the Wings of Theve, named for the FCU’s capital city. But in truth, the Wings is just Rex, an amiable but ordinary pilot whose job is to serve as a figurehead and whose exploits are greatly exaggerated. His true orders are to make an appearance in every engagement, and then run away and stay alive. You join Rex as his navigator, but things don’t go well during that first mission; you’re shot down by enemy aces, and Rex is killed. But after you’re rescued, to keep the lie alive, you’re tasked with taking on the “Rex” callsign and playing the role of the Wings of Theve. Ace Combat 8 conveys all this story through immersive, first-person cinematics that are a new choice for the series — one that Brand Manager Kazutoki Kono said was inspired by the team’s work on the PlayStation VR modes in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. The perspective adds a lot of emotional weight to Ace Combat 8, capturing the sense of struggle aboard the Endurance and the pressure of carrying the war’s morale on your back and commanding Joker Flight, Rex’s four-fighter team. Becoming a fighter ace Though your job as the Wings of Theve is initially just to stay alive, your presence and skills quickly change the tone for Joker Flight. When enemy fighters show up on your first mission, you quickly prove that the Wings of Theve can be more than just an inspiring ghost story. The Ace Combat series does a good job of keeping complex flight controls simple and easy to learn, so it doesn’t feel like you need flight sim-level knowledge to become a top gun. Fans of Ace Combat 7 will be right at home with Ace Combat 8, which maintains the experience from the 2019 game, but with some new bells and whistles thanks to the PS5 Dual Sense controller. Resistance in the haptic triggers adds intensity to accelerating with R2, decelerating with L2, and executing high-G turns by holding both, telegraphing through your hands how powerful your aircraft really is. Whether attacking other planes in the air or strafing targets on the ground, your goal is often to keep enemies in your sights long enough to lock on and fire missiles or special weapons with Circle or your machine gun with X. You can quickly swap lock-ons with Triangle to find new targets and swap weapons with Square. The controls are easy to pick up, but there’s complexity in flying your plane, and you’re going to need to build your skills to survive some of Ace Combat 8’s later sorties. Project Aces has very much avoided fixing anything that isn’t broken when it comes to gameplay, with battles feeling fast and chaotic as you dodge incoming missiles and try to line up your guns against enemy planes. With your comrades at your wing, you can also issue orders with the directional buttons, sending them to attack a specific target, allowing them to scatter and engage at will, calling them back to cover you, or telling them to switch to any special weapons you’ve equipped them with and go on the attack. At some points, you can also make story decisions about how the team will proceed. During one mission I played, you engage an enemy squadron filled with friends of Rex’s wingman, Professor. He asks you to avoid killing the pilots as you shoot them down, and you can choose whether to agree to that request. It doesn’t seem that your decisions will greatly alter how the story plays out, but Kono said choices like this, as well as how well you fare when you’re tasked with defending allied forces such as naval ships, can affect which characters survive into future missions and story beats. A series of desperate battles Ace Combat 8 shines in conveying the stakes of the war you’re fighting as your successes cause the legend of the Wings of Theve to grow — along with the hopes and expectations of your fellow soldiers. In one mission I previewed, the ragtag FCU forces work to take down a ridiculously huge, incredibly dangerous Land Battleship. The ship, which is basically a navy destroyer combined with a tank, is nearly indestructible, and the FCU plans to use trucks loaded with bombs to try to take out its treads. Your mission is first to protect the trucks, then attack the treads. Even on Ace Combat 8’s normal difficulty, the mission was tough — the Land Battleship is decked out with powerful rail guns, as well as anti-aircraft cannons and deployable drones. The fight takes place in a massive city center, so you not only have to dodge all sorts of incoming fire, but do your best not to crash into the buildings as well. The only hope to defeat the land battleship is for the FCU to demolish skyscrapers in the ship’s path, slowing it down and eventually trapping it. The mission really ratchets up the scale of the war and channels the emotions felt by the FCU’s forces. Radio chatter is nothing new to Ace Combat 8, but in all the missions I played, that chatter captures the chaotic and often desperate tone of the moment, as commanders, officers, soldiers on the ground, and your wingmen all fill the airwaves, issuing orders and reacting to what’s happening. As we arced around the land battleship, fighting interceptors and protecting the trucks, Ace Combat 8 not only used the chatter to convey critical mission info in the moment, it sold the story of frightened soldiers doing everything they can to stop an overwhelming force as they fought for their home. It’s that storytelling, coupled with fast-paced battles and memorable characters, that make grabbing the stick in Ace Combat 8 an exciting prospect. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve hits PlayStation 5 on October 2.

Title: (For Southeast Asia) Marvel’s Wolverine: new gameplay, story details from State of Play  Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2026 01:58:28 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/20260603-marvel/ The wait is over! We have an all-new gameplay video for Marvel’s Wolverine, along with details about our gameplay, characters, and story from the recent State of Play. We’re also excited to announce you can pre-order Marvel’s Wolverine starting today.  But first, dive into our new trailer.  Play Video Setting the stage: our gameplay trailer  Let’s not mince words: Marvel’s Wolverine is a brutal, violent, and action-packed single-player adventure from our team at Insomniac Games, in collaboration with Marvel Games. It cuts deeper than claw combat alone, with an emotionally charged original story centered on a comic book icon: James “Logan” Howlett, aka Wolverine. To set up our Extended Gameplay Trailer, Logan is tailing a group of mutants that have been hunted and captured by the Reavers, a guns-for-hire cybernetic militia. The Reavers have plans to deliver the mutants to their client, Bolivar Trask – a billionaire industrialist driven by a fanatical belief in human superiority. We also introduce another major player in Logan’s journey: Jean Grey, a powerful telekinetic and emergent leader of the captured mutants. View and download image "Jean lifts her right arm in front and left hand up to the side of her face as a bright, purple aura illuminates her hands and eyes. She’s gearing up to use her telekinetic powers." Download “Jean lifts her right arm in front and left hand up to the side of her face as a bright, purple aura illuminates her hands and eyes. She’s gearing up to use her telekinetic powers.” close Close Download this image The situation is dire and help is limited. Mutants live in the shadows fearful of those hunting them, while the rest of society lives unaware of their existence. The only ones potentially capable of protecting their own is Team X, a last-stand mutant task force facing its darkest hour, which Logan rejoins after leaving three years prior. For the mutants, the fight for survival is theirs alone. View and download image "Wolverine angrily slashes his right arm, fist, and claws upward; he’s splitting a Trask grunt’s gun in half. Meanwhile, Jean fights a Reaver on top of a truck just off in the background using her telekinetic powers."

Meanwhile, Jean fights a Reaver on top of a truck just off in the background using her telekinetic powers.” close Close Download this image A slice of the action  In his search for the mutants, Logan crosses paths with unsuspecting Reavers. They’re armed to the teeth with advanced technology, equipped with lethal weapons and cybernetic implants. They’re ready for a fight… but so is Wolverine. He can stalk enemies, ambush from above, or shred through them with fast, fluid, and brutal claw attacks.  Drawn in by a frantic plea for help, Logan and Jean are compelled to team up against Trask’s hired guns, and they prove to be more than capable. Logan can carve into foes with special combat moves called “Techniques” such as the Tornado Spin and Bull Rush. Meanwhile, Jean obliterates enemies with her powerful telekinetic abilities, which presents a few opportunities for Critical Strikes. These are devastating finishing moves that Wolverine can execute solo or with other characters; they’re takedown opportunities worth looking out for during a frenzied fight. Every successful attack, parry, and kill will build up Logan’s Rage. This allows for stronger attacks or activating his Healing Factor to survive grievous body damage. If Logan’s Rage is pushed too far, he can unleash Rage Tier 3: a stylized monochromatic explosion of savagery inspired by Marvel Comics’ Black, White, and Blood series.  The overwhelmed Reavers retreat. But Logan can take this fight to go. In one of many set pieces, Wolverine tears through the highway on a motorcycle where he can take out trucks, slash tires, and hurl enemies off the road. He also leaps to different vehicles fighting anything the Reavers throw at him, including powerful Brutes. Bloodied, battered, and on the brink of defeat? Wolverine can channel his rage and kick into Last Stand to activate his Healing Factor; he can live to fight another day and show everyone why he’s the best there is.

Title: First look at God of War Laufey Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2026 22:14:56 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/first-look-at-god-of-war-laufey/ We’re thrilled to finally share what the team at Santa Monica Studio has been working on, the next mainline entry to the God of War series: God of War Laufey!  Play Video Wishlist God of War Laufey here!  God of War Laufey  Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey (Faye), warrior and wife to Kratos, a new adventure is just beginning. Awakening unexpectedly in a strange land after her funeral, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus are now at risk. To save the ones she loves, Faye must fight through the afterlife of the gods — the Everywhen — where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic. View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image God of War’s next chapter  Intimate, brutal combat.  Exploration of a rich, beautiful world.  Story at its heart.  Right from the start, we knew Laufey needed to contain all the core elements that define a God of War game.  Faye has always been a formidable warrior in our story. She and Kratos can both hit hard and take hits, so one of our top priorities throughout the development has been handcrafting a uniquely fresh feel for Faye’s gameplay that will also meet the high expectations fans have for the series. Combining the movement and fluidity of the Greek era with the Norse era’s approach to world-building and close ties with characters — we’ve crafted an experience that has given our team incredible opportunities to take exciting creative swings, while staying true to the pillars of the God of War series.  Interview with Game Director Ariel Lawrence  Santa Monica Studio’s Head of Creative Cory Barlog and God of War Laufey’s Game Director Ariel Lawrence sat down for an extended interview speaking about the reveal, how the idea of a Faye game first came to be, and the long-term creative vision for the franchise.  Watch the full interview with Ariel and Cory below! Play Video Introducing Faye  Faye has long been one of the impactful characters in God of War’s Norse saga. A legendary warrior and leader — her impact was left on the Nine Realms long before she ever met Kratos.  God of War Laufey brings Faye to the forefront — exploring the humanity, strengths, and flaws of the person whose legacy was beloved in the minds of many.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image To set the stage for Faye’s introduction, God of War Laufey’s Narrative Director and Lead Writer discuss what we know about her going into this journey and give a taste of what awaits her in the afterlife of the gods.  Play Video Afterlife of the Gods  Odin was haunted by the prophecy of his demise during the events of Ragnarök, obsessively pursuing knowledge of something beyond the afterlives of mortals.  In God of War Laufey, we explore the answer to that question: What happens to the gods when they die?   The Everywhen is the birthplace and endpoint to which all magic returns, a transcendent realm above those we’ve come to know. A location in which gods and creatures from different mythologies come together, and not always in harmonious coexistence. We’ve shown a brief look at two of the gods Faye will encounter in the Everywhen — Sekhmet and Begtse, both decidedly less than friendly towards a new face suddenly appearing in their midst. View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Faye quickly discovers that despite the impossibility of awakening from death in a place that defies everything she thought she knew, it may prove even harder to leave while the natural flow of magic has been disrupted.  Paradise or prison — Faye will need to uncover hidden mysteries about the true nature of the Everywhen throughout her journey if she is to have any hope of finding her way home.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Adventuring party  Reprising her role as Faye after appearing in God of War Ragnarök, we’re thrilled to have the fantastic Deborah Ann Woll lead the cast of God of War Laufey.  Faye will not be venturing into the Everywhen alone, as she meets two companions shortly after she first wakes up.  Play Video Phranque, played by Jack Quaid, is a curious cosmic cube with an earnest disposition. He will do whatever it takes to protect his friends and the creatures of the Everywhen.  Rue, played by Perlina Lau, is the enchanted ribbon guardian tasked with keeping the devastatingly powerful sword in her care from falling into the wrong hands. Together they will embark on a journey deep into the Everywhen that will pit them against a fantastic cast of gods and creatures from across mythology, as well as beings native to the Everywhen itself.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Lethal agility  As the Golden Hand of the Jötnar, Faye has deep roots as a warrior and has proven equal to even the likes of Thor, one of the strongest gods in the Nine Realms.   From the beginning, we’ve built her combat to maximize lethality, power, and fluidity.  Building upon the strengths of the modern God of War combat system while injecting some old school, classic DNA of the Greek era — Laufey will feel fresh, yet familiar to fans of the series.  By allowing Faye to move easily between ground and air without halting the action, we’ve refined a hyper-responsiveness to her combat that we can’t wait for players to experience when they get their hands on the controller for the first time.  Her increased mobility adds a ton of offensive and defensive tools to turn battles against even the fiercest gods to her favor.  We’ve given you a taste of what Faye’s gameplay will look like at the start, and that’s just scratching the surface. There’s so much more we can’t wait to share further down the road — and plenty we’ll leave for fans to discover on their own!   Play Video Legendary sword for a legendary warrior  As the previous owner of the Leviathan Axe, Faye is no stranger to legendary weapons. Upon her arrival in the Everywhen, she earns the trust of the sword’s guardian Rue enough to use the blade in their fight to escape imprisonment.  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Wielded in Faye’s expert hand, its full potential is unleashed.  Speed, control, and relentlessness define the tempo of Faye’s combat. Building and maintaining momentum from one attack to the next, across the ground or into the sky, she creates a relentless onslaught against her foes. Golden Hand of the Jötnar  The Giants of Jötunheim had access to powerful magic, so much so that even Odin viewed them as one of the greatest threats to his rule over the Nine Realms.  As the Golden Hand of the Jötnar, the most powerful protector of the Giants — Faye wielded fearsome powers, including the ability to manipulate souls.  After arriving in the afterlife of the gods, a place steeped in the oldest of magic, Faye’s own soul related abilities are greatly amplified.  In the Everywhen, Faye can strike her golden palm at a foe with such force it detaches their soul from their body. From there, Faye can attack the soul directly, knock it into other enemies, and more — opening up combos and creative uses that we hope players will have a lot of fun mastering.  Back for more!  As we get closer to release, we’ll be back to share more details about the afterlife of the gods.  On behalf of everyone at Santa Monica Studio and all our partners working on God of War Laufey, thank you so much for watching the announcement video. We appreciate all the support fans have shown this series over the last two decades and hope you enjoy what we’ve got coming next!  View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Wishlist today  God of War Laufey is available for wishlisting today on the PlayStation Store.

Title: Development on Prologue: Go Wayback is ending as PlayerUnknown Productions lays off an unspecified amount of staff Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:56:57 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/development-on-prologue-go-wayback-is-ending-as-playerunknown-productions-lays-off-an-unspecified-amount-of-staff I guess we're not going to find out what comes after the prologue after all. By that I mean, some bad news came out of PlayerUnknown Productions yesterday. The studio shared a statement on their Dwitter account to share that development on Prologue: Go Wayback is ending, as PlayerUnknown himself Brendan Greene says that he has "reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form."

Following the game's incredibly strong launch that is probably going to force Krafton to pay out that $250 million bonus after all, Unknown Worlds have released another dev log outlining a few details about future updates.

Title: "We didn't have the content needed to do it justice at the time": Helldivers 2 is finally getting a roguelite system Arrowhead experimented with pre-launch Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:45:27 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/we-didnt-have-the-content-needed-to-do-it-justice-at-the-time-helldivers-2-is-finally-getting-a-roguelite-system-arrowhead-experimented-with-pre-launch Late last year, Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt briefly teased on social media that Arrowhead had put together a prototype for a roguelite mode which would fundamentally change the shooter. Months on, the studio have properly pulled the cover off said system. It's dubbed Planet Warfronts and is coming as part of a raft of changes/additions to Helldivers 2's intergalactic perma-conflict.

Title: Witcher devs' Project Hadar will make you feel all of the open-world emotions, a new job ad suggests, though sorry it still isn't a cosmic Japanese horror game Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:04:40 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/witcher-devs-project-hadar-will-make-you-feel-all-of-the-open-world-emotions-a-new-job-ad-suggests-though-sorry-it-still-isnt-a-cosmic-japanese-horror-game They might have proven they deal in secret extra DLC for decade-old RPGs this year, but for my money, Project Hadar remains the most mysterious game CD Projekt have in the works. It's always there in their financial reports alongside The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, flaunting its sheer unknowableness. Its creators, meanwhile, have said precious little regarding what it looks like, aside from confirming that it's not one weirdly specific thing: a cosmic horror game set in feudal Japan. That's left the curious to scour the likes of job listings for various roles on Project Hadar. Previous ones have suggested it'll be a bit action RPG-ish and have melee combat. The latest, spotted by GamesRadar, paints it as being open-world and keen on making you cry. Read more
