Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, Indy’s upcoming FPS adventure game, has a new ‘Official Showcase Reveal’ trailer, officially showcasing and revealing basically nothing about the game except that it features some pretty and decently acted cutscenes, which we already knew from the previous reveal. It does have snow nazis in however, possibly the rarest flavour of ***** after Cookies n’ Cream and Original. You’ll find the trailer below. Be careful: it’s official. Also, it’s mainly just one very long cutscene, so if you want to save that stuff for when the game’s out, maybe don’t bother. Read more View the full article

Image: Microsoft Game Studios It’s a **** world once again. At its Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest, Microsoft revealed the latest entry in the sci-fi shooter series: Gears of War E-Day. It’s being developed by The Coalition, Xbox’s internal studio dedicated to all things Gears. The game doesn’t currently have a release date, but it being built on Unreal Engine 5. The announcement trailer harkens back to the classic “**** World” commercial for the original Gears. Fittingly, E-Day is set 14 years before the first Gears, and “tells the story of the first Locust emergence on Sera.” It once again stars Marcus Fenix and is being billed as an origin story. This will be the first title in the series since Gears 5 in 2019, which was part of a plan from Microsoft to turn... Continue reading… View the full article
Stalker 2 is back with a brand-new trailer at the Xbox Showcase, giving us a glimpse into the ravaged world of everyone's favourite Chernobyl nightmare game. Presented during Summer Game Fest 2024, Stalker 2's new trailer shows off plenty of gameplay, HUD and all. It's been a long road for the Stalker team. Initially based in Ukraine, the entire studio moved over to the Czech Republic due to the Russian-Ukraine war. This extraordinary struggle, on top of the already stressful process of making a video game, obviously added a lot of pressure to the development. It's good to see the team's labours finally bear fruit on the big stage. Read more View the full article
A new Gears of War game has just been announced. Gears of War: E-Day is a prequel to the original trilogy, taking us back to the initial events of the world-wrecking war when the Locust emerged from the earth. There's no release date as of yet, but we know it's launching on Game Pass when it eventually comes out. You can watch the trailer for yourself below. It's a cinematic trailer capping off Xbox's presence at Summer Game Fest 2024, but a good tone setter with a slower (somehow sadder) rendition of **** World. That song was previously used in classic Gears trailers, pointing to this as a rollback to the original characters. There's no more info as of yet, but it's a bold move by The Coalition. Microsoft too! Launching this on Game Pass ia a big get, as though who used the service to play Gears 5 will know well. Read more View the full article

MachineGames' take on the classic film series Indiana Jones has been a long time coming (it was announced way back in 2021, if you can believe it), and though it ******** on track for release later this year, The Great Circle still doesn't have a release date.

The latest trailer for Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed is here, bringing with it new gameplay to goggle over, but no release date as of yet After announcing that Avowed would be releasing sometime this fall earlier this year, Obsidian Entertainment showed at Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase a bit of the action we can expect to mess around with come later this year when it eventually launches on Xbox and PC.

Since then it has released titles like Grounded and Pentiment, but Avowed will mark a return to the RPG format for the long standing developer. Read more View the full article

I never played the original Perfect Dark, but the trailer for the reboot shown during this evening's Xbox Games Showcase instantly made it the most exciting game I've seen during not-E3. It's first-person, it's got stealth, it's got parkour, it's got hand-to-hand melee combat including slidekicks. It looks like a mashup of Mirror's Edge and something more immersive sim-y? What's not to like. Read more View the full article
Microsoft and Playground's genuinely long-awaited Fable reboot will launch in 2025, and they've released a new trailer which... seems... good? And is also quite informative about the moment-to-moment of the game. The video is framed as the memoir of a paunchy retired champion, Humphry, who once mentored a young heroine I presume will be the game's main character, though it's ambiguous. She could also be the villain. Then again, Fable is a series in which you can be the villain. Egad, such shenanigans! Read more View the full article

Oh my ****! Max is back in Life is Strange: Double Exposure. This timeline-warping ******* mystery is set to launch on October 29 on PC and Xbox. The trailer, which you can watch below, was shown during the Xbox Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2024. In it we see some good ol' fashioned walking and talking, emotional moments, and tense drama. The foundation this series was built on. Max also appears to be in a brand-new part of the world, far away from her hometown of the first game. Either way, it's nice to see Life is Strange return to its roots somewhat - both for Xbox players and those playing from the comfort of their gaming chairs. Read more View the full article
