Looking to pad your collection without flattening your wallet? Today's gaming discounts span all corners of the digital landscape, from creature-collecting epics to emotionally loaded indies and big-name brawlers. Whether you're gearing up for couch co-op or hunting your next solo obsession, there’s something here worth slotting into your library. This Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm celebrating the 16th birthday of Ninja Gaiden II. While the 2004 revival of Ninja Gaiden was lauded for being exceedingly hard, I remember this follow up was more largely known for being excessively gory. Death by dismemberment was all the rage, thanks to Obliteration Techniques that would put limb-reduced enemies into an even greater world of pain. Pretty standard stuff nowadays, though.

Star Wars fans, don't miss out on this incredible video game deal. Walmart is currently offering Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws game for Xbox Series X for just $20. This game normally retails for $59.99 and the lowest price I've ever seen for it was $39.99 during last year's Cyber Monday *****. The game is a physical copy that's sold and shipped by Walmart itself, not a marketplace vendor. You'll need to get your order total to $35 in order to get free shipping, or choose free in-store pickup where available. Star Wars Outlaws (Xbox) for $20 Star Wars Outlaws Review by Tristan Ogilvie "It’s ironic that Kay’s ship is called the Trailblazer, since there’s actually not a whole lot of ideas in Star Wars Outlaws that haven’t been done before in other action and open-world adventures. Instead, it’s quite like the Millenium Falcon: a bucket of bolts held together with repurposed parts and prone to breaking down, but at its best it’s more than capable of jolting your pleasure centres into Star Wars fan hyperspace. A clever syndicate system brings real weight to almost every task you choose to undertake, some of which have creative quest designs that can often conjure up some genuinely stunning blindsides. Having a pal like Nix at your side the entire time not only adds an extra dimension to Kay’s fairly generic smuggler character, but also gives her an enhanced set of useful abilities. But even he can’t quite make its stealth and combat feel any less rigid and repetitive, and the odds of avoiding the many glaring technical issues present at launch are 3,720 to one. But you probably didn’t want me to tell you the odds." [/url] Star Wars Outlaws latest update - dubbed 1.6 - was rolled out earlier in May. The new update arrives alongside the new A Pirate's Fortune DLC and includes various quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and some freebies like a new Star Wars: Skeleton Crew cosmetic pack. New Xbox Gaming Handheld Unveiled In other Xbox news, Microsoft officially announced its plans to release two Xbox gaming handhelds during its Xbox Games Showcase 2025 on June 8.

I've played a few dozen demos during Steam Next Fest over the past couple of days, and my results have varied. Some games didn't click with me at all, while others I knew I'd be wishlisting right away, but for all of them, I played them and then moved on to others. All of them but one. Say hello to BALL x PIT from Devolver Digital and solo developer Kenny Sun. Image via Devolver Digital This is my next big addiction whenever it launches, and I feel like it could be yours, too. BALL x PIT is, like many of the numerous demos I've been playing this week, an amalgamation of different games and genres. It made its debut over the weekend during all of the gaming showcases and its release date is TBA, but I'm hoping that it comes out ASAP. "Ballbylon has fallen," the Steam description says. "After a meteoric and completely unexpected event annihilated the great city, all that remains is an ominous, yawning pit. Treasure hunters from far and wide flock to the city’s tomb to seek their fortune, plumbing the depths in search of Ballbylon’s scattered riches. Few return." BALL x PIT is part brick-breaker, part base-builder, part roguelite, and all incredibly fun. You control one of a number of different unlockable characters as you enter the pit to launch ****** and defeat enemies, picking up power-ups and modifiers along the way on reach run as you fight bosses and pick up gold and resources for your community. Your base can be built and customized to add new allies, buildings, and resources to farm, such as wood, crops, and rock that must be farmed in the same brick-breaking fashion as the base gameplay. It sounds odd, and it kind of is, but it works so damn well. I can't stop playing it. It also reminds me a bit of Peglin as you collect and level up different ******, while also feeling reminiscent of Vampire Survivors and other games like it as you can enable the ability to auto-attack as you move your way through the pit, picking up XP and gold, and avoiding enemy fire. [Hidden Content] Do yourself a favor and check out BALL x PIT's demo on Steam Next Fest before it's gun, and add it to your wishlist ASAP to be ready to grab your ****** and go as soon as it launches. The post BALL x PIT is the first Steam Next Fest demo that’s kept me coming back for more and more appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Fallout, Wasteland, and Stalker are three of the most influential game series to come out in the medium's history. Each of them has spawned a number of successful sequels, from Fallout 76 to Wasteland 3 and Stalker 2, while also inspiring a variety of post-apocalyptic games, like Rage 2, Surviving the Aftermath, and Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone. One of the most intriguing of the games set to continue this trend is Scavland, a 2D pixel art project that you can now try out for yourself thanks to the launch of its new demo on Steam.

Saber Interactive has made some great games out of concepts that might seem, at first glance, like they'd be pretty dull. Mudrunner, Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game, Snowrunner, and, most recently, Roadcraft, are all essentially about getting a vehicle or its cargo from one place to another. What makes them compelling is trying to overcome the problems complicating these goals, all highly detailed due to the studio's attention to detail. Now, Military Logistics Simulator, a new game that mixes Roadcraft's emphasis on vehicle transport with Arma 3's focus on realistic military equipment, has arrived to offer a new take on this style of design. And you can try it right now with a new demo available during Steam Next Fest. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

Open-world action RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin recently dropped new trailers at Summer Game Fest and the Future Games Show, showcasing the world and characters developer Netmarble has been cooking up. They also announced that pre-registration has opened for all regions as momentum builds to its release window later this year. The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is being made by the same team that created 2019’s The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross and tells an original story set in Brittania, the same world as The Seven Deadly Sins anime and manga series. That series has sold 55 million copies and Grand Cross reached 70 million downloads globally, so it’s fair to say there’s a huge fanbase that’s been anticipating the latest installment. It stars Tristan, son of series main characters Meliodas and Elizabeth, in a multiverse narrative that dives into parallel timelines and alternate character arcs. It all begins with the Book of Stars, a pendant that lay dormant in a cave beneath a lake. It has the power to record and connect timelines, and it chooses Tristan to be its next guardian. That moment sets Tristan on his course to explore the world and save it from turmoil and chaos. The new trailers provide a glimpse into the game’s central narrative, a deeper look at its expansive world, and show off the eye-catching art style that emulates the anime, powered by Unreal Engine. The first trailer, revealed on Friday during Summer Game Fest, begins with Tristan’s discovery of the Book of Stars. It seemingly sets off an explosion of power before settling into a celestial orb in the middle of the pendant. We then see some of the game’s large and varied environments, including open fields, canyons, lakeside docks, a desert oasis, and an underwater area. You can fly or go diving to fully explore some of these regions, and you can take part in other activities as you explore, like fishing and cooking. We get a look at the flashy and fast-paced real-time combat system, showing several different characters and their abilities. At one point, two characters attack at the same time, hinting at the ability to strategically combine characters’ unique skills and weapons to create combos. There are a variety of enemies featured, including spiders, golems, aggressive plants, and a horned monster that falls out of a flaming hole in the sky. And that’s on top of two hulking monstrosities that tower above the trees. The second trailer, shown during the Future Games Show on Saturday, expands on the showdown with one of those monstrosities. We see that it’s not just a cutscene, it’s an actual boss fight where the controllable character has to dodge fireballs before climbing up the body of the massive creature. That trailer also expanded on the environments, showing a deep forest, a cavern beneath the sand, the inside of a town, and a rain-drenched grassland. You can also see Tristan magically moving blocks into empty holes in a door or wall, possibly indicating that there will be environmental puzzles you need to solve. The two trailers combined to give us our deepest dive into The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin yet, and they clearly have fans excited, since they gathered more than a million views on YouTube in just two days. Origin will be available on PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile, with crossplay available across all platforms. You can wishlist it now on PS5 and Steam. If you’re interested in learning more about the game’s world and characters, you can check out the official website, where you can access the game’s official Discord, Twitter, and YouTube channels. You can also pre-register on that site, which will keep you up to date with the latest news and info. Pre-registered players will be able to sign up for the upcoming closed beta test and will get exclusive in-game rewards when the game launches. View the full article
Hasbro has revealed its exclusive Marvel Legends set for San Diego Comic-**** 2025, and '90s X-Men fans will be pleased. The Marvel Legends Series: Gamerverse Marvel Snap Savage Land 3-Pack features brand new figures of iconic heroines Rogue and Shanna the She-******, as well as the fearsome mutant villain Sauron. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at this stunning new set: This set gets the Gamerverse branding because it's technically based on a series of unlockable cards in the mobile game Marvel Snap.

The Savage Land 3-Pack includes 15 different accessories, such as spears, alternate heads and hands, and even a hypnosis effect for Sauron. All three figures are designed in the usual 6-inch Marvel Legends scale. The Marvel Legends Series: Gamerverse Marvel Snap Savage Land 3-Pack is priced at $89.99 and will initially be sold only in person at Hasbro's SDCC booth (#3213). Limited quantities will then be made available on the Hasbro Pulse website after SDCC ends. Will you be adding this Marvel Legends set to your collection? Let us know in the comments below.
