The only thing than worse than not being played is being played and everyone complaining you're crammed with microtransactions. Admittedly, that's not quite how Oscar Wilde put it but a similar sentiment must be going through the heads of the developers of Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond.

The new Warhammer: The Old World RPG launches on Thursday June 19, with digital versions of the Player's Guide available immediately, and pre-orders for loads more up on publisher Cubicle 7's webstore. I've been poring over the new Player's Guide, and while I haven't had enough time with it to write a full review, what I've encountered so far has me very excited. Read the rest of the story...

Rematch, the game about kicking it in the goal from Sifu and Absolver devs Sloclap, have launched today, June 19th. The folks behind it have rung in that occasion by outlining a bunch of their future plans, as well as saying they're very sorry you can't currently show off your mouse and keyboard skills by nutmegging some fool who owns one of those ex-boxers. Don't worry, though, crossplay and a bunch of other stuff are in the works for future updates to the foot-to-ball thing Nic and James dug the beta of, and that currently sits fourth in Steam's top sellers list.

Fan-favorite rhythm game Beat Saber is ending support for PlayStation consoles. From here on in, you shouldn't expect any further updates or music packs if you play on PS4 or PS5, and from January 21, 2026, multiplayer support will also be withdrawn. "As we look to the future and plan the next big leap for Beat Saber, we have made the decision to no longer release updates for PS4 and PS5 starting in June 2025," the developer explained in a new FAQ entitled "End of Support for PS4/PS5" (thanks, Eurogamer). "Our passion for VR remains unwavering. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and what we can bring to Beat Saber fans who have been on this journey with us over the past [seven] years." The update stressed that you will still be able to play Beat Saber and have access to all of your previously purchased content, and cross-buy "remains active" between the PS4 and PS5 base game. You can also still buy songs and music packs that were released on or before June 18 — just nothing added to the catalog from today (June 19) onwards. "We're grateful for the incredible support you've shown us over the years, and we're excited to share what the future holds for Beat Saber," the update concluded. For many players, this feels very much like the final nail in the coffin for PlayStation's VR aspirations, as Beat Saber is still one of PlayStation's biggest VR titles. Fans seem split between laying the blame with Sony and the lack of support its given to its VR headset, and Meta "wanting their game to be the best on Quest." "Absolutely baffling decision," said one player on the subreddit. "Beat Saber still regularly tops the sales charts on PSVR1 and 2, I think dropping support for PSVR1 is understandable but not supporting PSVR2 feels like an absolutely insane move given how popular the game is on that platform." "This is a massively stupid f***ing decision," added another. "I can't overstate how mad I am about this." Despite its impressive technical specs, the PSVR2 seemingly lost momentum following its release in 2023. In June last year, Android Central reported that Sony made "deep cuts to funding for VR," with only two first-party PSVR2 games allegedly in development. Sony eventually gave PSVR2 a new lease on life by adding PC VR support, but mentions of the device have been few and far between since. PSVR2 recently dropped to match its all-time low price thanks to the PlayStation Days of Play *****. "The PlayStation VR2 may seem pricey, given that it costs $150 more than the base PS5 Digital Edition console you’ll need to use it," we wrote when we reviewed the PSVR2 on release. "Even so, it’s such a quantum leap over the original PSVR in terms of ease of use, visual quality, and immersion that any PlayStation owner who loves VR should upgrade as soon as possible. "Its 4K HDR OLED screen and excellently tactile Sense controllers are the most obvious improvement, but plentiful quality-of-life changes and the raw horsepower of the PS5 set a new standard for how VR games should play and feel on console. The downside is that, like any new platform, its thin launch lineup makes its lack of backward compatibility with original PSVR games a significant problem, but one that will only improve as Sony and other developers roll out new games that take advantage of the PSVR2’s unique features."

Sloclap's first sports title, Rematch, does not support crossplay on day one as many had hoped, but the studio has emphasized that it is a priority for devs moving forward. The online multiplayer soccer sim seems like a natural fit for crossplay functionality, and Sloclap did hope to enable it at launch, but things didn't end up that way. While this has left some fans disappointed, the team behind Rematch has assured them that the much-requested feature is coming. View the full article

Ara: History Untold is a game I briefly gave a go last year, back when Civ 7 was still a game we were all yet to play and have a vast slew of different opinions about. I thought the little I played was alright, but didn't stick with it that long, slipping back into the pair of comfy slippers that were Civ 6. Now, though, Ara's just gotten a big update, and it looks like it should solve some of the issues that folks flagged with the base game. Read more View the full article

The co-founder of Limbo and Inside studio Playdead says he’s now being sued by the studio. Dino Patti – who co-founded Playdead with Limbo director Arnt Jensen – has said that after being threatened with legal action earlier this year, the studio’s lawyers intend to move forward with a lawsuit against him. Patti had previously told Game Developer in March that Playdead was threatening legal action, mainly for a LinkedIn post he made in late 2004 containing a “lengthy description” of Limbo’s development, and including an “unauthorised” photo that was owned by Jensen, who subsequently asked for 500,000 DKK ($77,000) as compensation.

It's Christmas in June, which could only mean I'm back on the Beira D. Siren's Rest is Still Wakes the Deep's first DLC, and it's also entirely unexpected. The ******** Room's BAFTA-winning disaster horror set on the North Sea had a pretty definitive ending, so the news that more was on the way took me by surprise. Still Wakes the Deep was a standout of 2024, but it was difficult to see where a story expansion could take us after that final, explosive flourish. Read the rest of the story...

The best Champions and Avatars in Anime Eternal are determined by their starting Energy stat which directly increases your damage. Both Champions and corresponding Avatars have the same Energy stat so we can rank them the same way. We'll also take a look at the best gamepasses. Here's my Anime Eternal tier list for champions and gamepasses. Table of contentsAnime Eternal Champion and Avatar Tier ListAnime Eternal Gamepass Tier ListAnime Eternal Champion and Avatar Tier List To determine the best Champion in Anime Eternal we look at their starting Energy stat because the more Energy you generate the more damage you deal. Each Avatar you can equip has the same stats as the corresponding Champion so we can essentially rank them in the same way. Note that secrets in this game are called Phantoms and these are from bosses from each world. Lastly, I'll be looking at base stats which are a good measure of potential but note that they reach higher (For example Sukuni unit at Lvl 100 has 5620 Energy). Tip #1: Avatars have the same stats as their corresponding Champions/Units so the tier list below is for both. Except for Boss/Phantom Avatars which have higher stats than their Champion/Unit versions. W1 Kid Kohan: 60 W2 Shanks: 150 W3 Eizen: 375 W4 Sukuni: 938 W5 Rangaki: 2430 Tip #2: I recommend putting all points into Energy as you level so you can both Rank Up faster and deal more damage. S-Tier 500+A-Tier 200+B-Tier 100+C-Tier 50+D-Tier 20+Starter Image by Destructoid Here are the best game passes in Anime Eternal based on the pure value you get. The Fast Clicker simply increases your damage and Double Energy also helps with DPS since Energy increases damage and Energy helps you rank up faster. Once you get those you can go for A-Tiers. The rest aren't as worth it. Note that I don't recommend buying these with Robux since it's more worth it to farm Credits. You can also get Credits with our Anime Eternal codes. That's it for my Anime Eternal tier list for best champions, units, and gamepasses. For a similar game check out our Anime Shadow 2 tier list.

Gameplay footage from a cancelled Dungeons & Dragons RPG has appeared online. The game, which had the codename Project Dante, was reportedly in development at Washington-based Hidden Path Entertainment, who had previously co-developed Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with Valve. As reported by MP1st, where around 10 minutes of footage can be watched, the game was cancelled after around three years in development, and was never formally announced before it was cancelled in 2023 by Wizards of the Coast, the owner of Dungeons & Dragons.

Gears of War: Reloaded's upcoming beta weekend will now last a little longer and include more content as developer The Coalition responds to feedback from players. "We heard you," the team said on social media. "More maps. More modes. More time." As a result, this weekend's upcoming multiplayer beta has been extended — so the beta now runs from Friday June 20 at 12pm PDT to Sunday June 22 at 9pm PDT — and Execution has now joined the mode pool alongside King of the Hill on Gridlock, Raven Down (Courtyard and War Machine), and Canals. You'll also be able to play Team Deathmatch on the same maps via social matchmaking, with Gold Rush also in the pool. That won't quite quell the issues some players had about server stability but to be honest, that's precisely what beta tests are for, right? Better to experience that instability now than when the game launches in a few weeks' time. Last month Microsoft announced Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of the original 2006 game, will launch on August 26 on PC, Xbox, and yes, even PlayStation. The shiny new version will come with improved visuals and audio, crossplay, and cross-progression, and all the DLC from the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. As a little treat for the Gears of War faithful, Gears of War: Reloaded will be a free upgrade for any players who purchased the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition before the announcement. If you're one of the special ones, expect a code via a DM from Xbox ahead of the release. "As we approach the 20th anniversary of Gears of War in 2026, we’re reflecting on what this franchise means. It’s about the stories we’ve told, the friendships we’ve built, and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared together. With Gears of War: Reloaded, we’re opening that door to more players than ever," Mike Crump, studio head at The Coalition, said at the time.
