Helldivers 2 just got a fresh patch, and it's come with a free cape (not a review bomb cape, mind you) that folks who took part in the battle for Super Earth can wear to prove they played a part in the victory. Stick it on your back, and maybe think about showing it off in the glitzy glow of the spotlights the patch adds to Leviathans. Seriously, I promise doing that last bit won't precede the flying squid things immediately zapping you to death. Ok, maybe it will. Read more View the full article

An incredibly rare Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 20GB of VRAM has sold on eBay for $1,999, and is apparently in full working order with one critical exception: Nvidia drivers do not support this card. The GPU itself is actually less powerful than most modern cards, but is one of the few to ever surface on the secondhand market. Compared to the best graphics card of the moment, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, the 20GB VRAM variant of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti doesn't measure up to it. The 20GB 3080 Ti model doesn't even have native driver support, with the card's seller stating a third-party driver like Nvidia-patcher is required to get the card running. Despite this, the RTX 3080 Ti 20GB VRAM sold for as much as an RTX 5090, and the reason why will require a very, very brief history lesson. Read the rest of the story...

Broken Arrow feels like a great middle point between accessible, classic-style RTS games such as Command and Conquer and Total Annihilation, and the more complex, realistic milsim types, like World in Conflict and Warno. One of the most wishlisted new strategy games on Steam, it's finally arrived via advanced access, meaning players who purchased the premium edition can play it right now (with the full release date to follow on Thursday June 19). So far, reception is largely positive. But there's one consistent sticking point among players which is dragging the Broken Arrow Steam reviews down. Read the rest of the story...

All the major studios and publishers have now revealed their biggest announcements through the numerous summer showcases. But IGN’s Summer of Gaming continues! We’ve already run down the biggest and best trailers of the season, but now we move on to ******* issues. Which games have us the most excited and counting down the days until they’re eventually released? That’s why we’re here today to highlight our most anticipated games… and decide which one we’re hyped for the most. Our top pick has been chosen from a pool that includes every reveal from across the various shows we’ve seen, as well as the games that we’ve been able to go hands-ons with. We’ve also considered the enthusiasm that you, our readers and viewers, have shown for the many newly-announced titles – and so we’ve weighed up comments and trailer viewcounts along with our own personal excitement. But before we get to our top pick, let’s take a bit of time to reflect on some of the other amazing games we’ve seen and played over the past couple of weeks. Here are some of our other favourites: 5. Ninja Gaiden 4 Soulslikes may have dominated the last decade of action-RPGs but the hack-and-slash renaissance is in full swing thanks to games like Ninja Gaiden 4. Team Ninja and PlatinumGames, two of the best character action developers in Japan, are teaming up for this direct sequel to 2012’s Ninja Gaiden 3. The high-speed actioner jumped onto the scene in style thanks to a stylish new trailer, but our 25-minute hands-on with the game left us wanting to play much, much more. Super-fast and hyper-bloody, it will make you feel like the ultimate killing machine, provided you have the dexterity to juggle your enemies and pull off the right combos, of course. Luckily, we won’t have to wait too long, as Ninja Gaiden 4 will be out on all platforms on October 21, 2025. 4. Silent Hill Remake It may have been just a logo and a little bit of nostalgic music at the end of Konami’s Press Start livestream, but the announcement that the Silent Hill 2 remake’s developer Bloober Team will be tackling the original Silent Hill as its next collaboration with Konami was enough to send all of our heads spinning. The first Silent Hill kicked off one of the most horrifying and beloved video game franchises in history, but while it was ahead of its time in many respects when it came out in 1998, it certainly hasn’t kept up with the times. A remake crafted with the same care and consideration Bloober gave to its sequel is certainly an exciting prospect. 3. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Move aside Marvel vs. Capcom, there’s a new superhero fighting game in town. The big surprise of PlayStation’s latest State of Play was Arc System Works’ Marvel Tokon, a 4v4 tag team fighting game featuring Marvel heroes like Iron Man and Captain America reimagined through a Japanese lens. Arc System Works is already lauded for their visually striking and deeply competitive fighting games like Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ, but Marvel Tokon could take this beloved-but-niche developer to new heights thanks to the power of Disney. The detail and depth of mechanics showcased in the lengthy reveal means Marvel Tokon just inches past our excitement for another superheroic fighting game announced over the Summer of Gaming - Invincible VS. Plus, Fighting Souls is 4v4 rather than 3v3, so that extra couple of heroes only helps push our anticipation up further. 2. 007 First Light IO Interactive finally unveiled its long-awaited 007 game and – surprise! – it looks fun as hell. While the developer’s usual suited assassin, Agent 47, might be an emotionless killing machine, young James Bond here in 007 First Light looks to be having the time of his life as he sets out on the path to become one of the most famous secret agents in the world (a mission that, admittedly, seems something of a contradiction). The trailer has everything a good James Bond game should have: exotic locales, sports cars, laser wrist watches, a little light flirting, and plenty of explosions. Pair that with the knowledge that IOI has said we should expect the same level of freedom as available in the Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy, and 007 First Light is one game we just can’t wait for (plus, with a 2026 release window, this is likely going to be our first big Bond outing since Daniel Craig bowed out). Perhaps the only reason it’s not our overall most anticipated game of the event is that we sadly haven’t had a chance to play it yet, and therefore can’t definitively speak to its quality. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for gamescom 2025… So, that’s four reveals of varying sizes that have us hyped for future games. But the big one – our most anticipated game – is something coming pretty soon, and something we’ve already been able to play. And, based on how much we love its predecessors, we’re hoping it continues the series’ legacy and offers up one of the finest survival horror experiences of the generation. Our most anticipated game from the Summer of Gaming is… 1. Resident Evil Requiem Capcom delivered an epic bait-and-switch during Summer Game Fest 2025, suggesting that there would be no official Resident Evil 9 announcement as part of the show, only to formally reveal Resident Evil Requiem a few minutes later. I guess delayed jump scares are part of the Resi recipe, after all. The next mainline entry in the popular survival horror franchise is set to star a new hero, Grace Ashcroft, who has a close relationship to a character from a forgotten Resident Evil game. More excitingly, though, Capcom revealed that Resident Evil Requiem will be playable in both first- and third-person at launch, combining the best of both worlds when it comes to modern Resident Evil games. We got a chance to play a short preview build of Resident Evil Requiem and came away impressed with how first-person focuses on pure horror, while playing in third-person delivers some added action thrills. Grace seems like a compelling new character, too, given her background as an FBI analyst who’s more comfortable behind a computer than with a gun. This’ll make her (and us) even more afraid when we come face to face with Requiem’s new stalker monster, a hulking figure whose grotesque frame fills up entire hallways. All this, plus Capcom’s ongoing winning streak of great games, means we’re incredibly excited to play the next mainline Resi game when Resident Evil Requiem is released on consoles and PC on February 27, 2026. Resident Evil Requiem is our most anticipated game from the Summer of Gaming, but what’s yours? You can let us know in the comments below, or join us tomorrow when we’ll be ranking the biggest announcements in an IGN community tier list. View the full article

As Stellar Blade tops 3 million sales worldwide, director Hyung-tae Kim has revealed the sequel, which has already been confirmed, will have a "serious" story. In an interview with This Is Game, via Genki, Kim admitted that the team had developed a deeper story for Eve and co., but the cost of cutscenes became too high, resulting in them having to skip a lot of the cinematics — and therefore the story itself — to get the game over the finish line. That's why we're left with so many questions about Eve's world, including an official explanation as to why she requires a costume change so often. While it seems Shift Up considered retrospectively adding in cutscenes to better explain the story, Kim was concerned that may "clash" with what players know and understand of the game thus far. Consequently, it looks like we can expect a "sufficiently rich narrative" when it comes to the sequel. We probably shouldn't expect a follow-up anytime soon, however; right now, the whole team is reportedly dedicated to the PC port. Kim did say Shift Up would "do our best" to get it out by 2027, though. The PC version of Stellar Blade only launched on June 11, but it's already Sony's biggest single-player Steam launch ever. Right now, the concurrent player peak is over 192,000. By comparison, Ghost of Tsushima topped out at 77,154 players, God of War peaked at 73,529, and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered sports a peak of 66,436 players. In fact, the only Sony-published game to have a higher concurrent record than Stellar Blade is Helldivers 2, which is, of course, a multiplayer game. IGN's Stellar Blade review returned a 7/10. We said: "Stellar Blade is great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but dull characters, a lackluster story, and several frustrating elements of its RPG mechanics prevent it from soaring along with the best of the genre." PC-specific features include AI upscaling via Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and ******** voiceover, ultrawide display support, higher resolution environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects.

A survival game lives or dies on the personality of its world. Subnautica is a wonder because its world is a wonder. Abiotic Factor is a cracking farce because its world is a lab staffed by idiots. Dune: Awakening, meanwhile, has the fortune of coming with a pre-packaged world, already built by scores of sci-fi novels and movies full of beautiful scowlers. Developers Funcom therefore have existing rules to play with, a culture and geography which is basically ready-made for a video game. It's almost cheating. Sandstorms rage, forcing you indoors. Sandworms give chase, prompting you to run or bike faster across the desert. Military ships scan the dunes at night with spotlights, and launch tough enemy patrols if you get caught. Everything here already lends itself to the kind of adventurous fantasy any hardy video gameser would like. Read more View the full article

FBC: Firebreakis the kind of game that inherently causes a little apprehension. Developed by Remedy Entertainment, it's an online co-op shooter from a studio primarily heralded for developing bespoke single-player experiences. That's not reason enough to discount it outright, and in a perfect world, Remedy's penchant for playing around with form could be just the ticket to creating a co-op shooter that stands out in a crowded market. Unfortunately, Firebreak never quite gets there. View the full article
