The Witcher 3 was, you may have heard, a large game. But it was once an even larger game. When it was still cooking over at CD Projekt Red, dev brains bubbled over with designs for questlines, cutscenes, and all sorts of other stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor before it released. Naturally, when I visited the studio for The Witcher 3's 10th anniversary, I asked for all the deets on the stuff we never got to see... Read more.View the full article

Microsoft announced Call of Duty: ****** Ops 7 at its Xbox Games Showcase June 2025, a reveal that came later in the year than is usual for the series. And the debut trailer, below, gave fans little to go on beyond a story tease and confirmation of the year in which the game is set (2035) and its protagonist: David Mason. It turns out, this is all part of Activision’s marketing strategy for ****** Ops 7, which is all about not revealing much at all before the game comes out later in 2025. To what end? Activision wants ****** Ops 7’s launch to feel like a surprise Beyonce album drop. Speaking to Variety, Activision marketing chief Tyler Bahl explained what the company is trying to achieve with ****** Ops 7: “Usually at this point in time, we would have teased everything that’s coming out. And I think in a lot of ways we’re setting this up more like a Beyonce album dropping; nobody’s going to know about it, or nobody’s going to see it coming. “The whole goal was to really do something different, and for us to zag and show up in a unique way. And one way of doing that is almost not doing any pre-promotion and giving it to players in a really unexpected way.” While Activision promised a ******* reveal for some point in the summer, perhaps it won’t reveal much at all, and fans will have to wait until the release date to get a real sense of what ****** Ops 7 is all about. So, what do we know? ****** Ops 7 is set in 2035, more than 40 years after the events of ****** Ops 6, at a time when the world is on the brink of chaos following the events of ****** Ops 2 and last year’s ****** Ops 6. Co-op campaign returns for ****** Ops 7 after 6 skipped it (you can still play the campaign solo). Expect to use near-future weaponry in Multiplayer, with brand-new maps. Meanwhile, there’s the next chapter of Round-Based Zombies in the heart of the Dark Aether. Here's the official blurb: Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else. According to Variety, ****** Ops 7 sees This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia play David Mason (the character is recast with a new face), Kiernan Shipka as a new character called Emma Kagen (CEO of The Guild), and Michael Rooker, who reprises his role as Mike Harper from ****** Ops 2. Also confirmed is that Activision is sticking with last-gen consoles for ****** Ops 7, which is due out across Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via “Xbox PC,” Battle.net, and Steam. As you’d expect, you can play day-one on Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass. There was no mention of Nintendo Switch 2 in the announcement. It’s a co-development between Treyarch and Raven Software. ****** Ops 7 marks the first time the ****** Ops sub-series has seen back-to-back releases, and comes just a year after ****** Ops 6’s launch. Some fans are already saying this makes ****** Ops 7 feel like a stop-gap, as 2023’s Modern Warfare 3 was considered by some within the community given it followed 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 just a year later. Activision, however, has insisted ****** Ops 7 “delivers the full Call of Duty package for our players.” The expectation is Infinity Ward will return with a new Modern Warfare game in 2026, resetting the Call of Duty cycle once again.

Atlus finally revealed at yesterday's Xbox Game Showcase that yes, a remake of Persona 4 is really happening: Persona 4 Revival. But not everyone liked what they saw in the 40-second trailer. Some players took issue with the quality of the graphics, coloring, animations, and lighting, while others were frustrated that there were no further details like a release date or a confirmed Nintendo Switch 2 version. "Man, the graphics looks like stock Unreal lol," said one player. "Honestly, almost looks fanmade (don't hit me)," to which another replied: "Highly underwhelming trailer, lol." As this remake was one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming, some fans speculated that the teaser was put together simply to acknowledge that yes, it was in development. "This is a 'damn, here you go' **** trailer," responded this fan, while another said: "Feels like they threw this thing together after the VAs said they weren't returning. I could imagine they walked over to marketing and asked them to throw together a 30-second clip the same day." Following the reveal, P-Studio director Kazuhisa Wada popped up on social media to reassure fans that Atlus is "actively preparing for the future development of the Persona series as a studio." "We are very pleased to announce the release of Persona 4 Revival. We look forward to sharing even more information in due time," Wada wrote. "Persona 4 has spawned numerous spin-off works, including TV anime, Persona 4 Arena, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and Persona 4: Dancing All Night, and is a special title that has been a part of Atlus for many years and holds a personal place in my heart. "We are currently working on this project with all our passion and love. We are confident that this will be a fresh and surprising product for both newcomers and long-time fans and we look forward to sharing it with you all." P4G vs P4R Early Comparison byu/hyperdefiance inPERSoNA .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } Wada added: "Additionally, we are actively preparing for the future development of the Persona series as a studio. We are working hard to meet the expectations of fans around the world, and our work is progressing well." Wada then thanked fans for their support and teased that they should "stay tuned" for more updates. We gave the original Persona 4 a 9/10 back in the day, saying: "A significant improvement over the previous Persona games in many ways, Persona 4 provides a deeper dungeon crawling/social link experience that makes it engaging to play." An enhanced version, Persona 4 Golden, has since become the best way to enjoy the game on modern consoles, but fans have long lamented that it's not available on Nintendo Switch, despite years of begging. Persona 4 Revival, meanwhile, is due out for Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC, and it will be available day-one on Game Pass. For more, check out everything announced at Xbox Games Showcase June 2025.

The appearance of Bernband during last night's PC Gaming Show had a few of us at RPS clicking our fingers and pointing at our monitors yelling: "Bernband! Bernband!"

Creator Tom van den Boogaart has dipped in and out of working on the alien wanderer, often switching focus to other projects such as Grunn.

Rebel Wolves — the studio led by former The Witcher 3 game director and co-director for Cyberpunk 2077, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz — has confirmed its upcoming dark fantasy action-RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker, will release in 2026. At yesterday's Xbox Games Showcase, Rebel Wolves showed off some pre-beta gameplay footage, following Coen, "a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, human by day and vampire by night," as he comes to grips with his newly acquired abilities. That's not all, though. On June 21, we'll find out even more as Rebel Wolves invites us to join it on the longest day of the year, "where the veil between day and night blurs, bringing unexpected outcomes." The 45-minute-long event will reveal around 15 minutes of new gameplay content, accompanied by an extended developer commentary. Interestingly, we'll also learn more about "several key gameplay features," including the directional combat system that blends swordfighting, spells, and vampiric powers, as well as how players navigate Vale Sangora’s locations and "further explore the game world and highlight the gameplay differences between day and night, which will have a significant impact on the story and its course." "It’s been a pleasure to finally show you more of the game, and I want to thank our community for the incredible support," Tomaszkiewicz said. "Back in January, when we first revealed the game, we promised to shed more light on the gameplay this summer — and that moment has finally arrived. "We’d like to invite you to join us on June 21 for our Gameplay Reveal Event. You’ll learn more about the abilities Coen gains as he becomes the Dawnwalker — a mysterious being balancing the line between the world of day and the realm of night." In The Blood of Dawnwalker, you play as Coen, a young man who is a being no longer fully human, yet not entirely a vampire. With just 30 days and nights to save Coen’s family or exact bloody revenge on his sire, regardless of the consequences or the cost of Coen’s thirst for blood. But the most important question for players remains: is it worth sacrificing your humanity for the ones you love? For more, check out everything announced at Xbox Games Showcase June 2025.

There were a number of high-profile no-shows from the Xbox Games Showcase. State of Decay 3, for example, failed to turn up. The Perfect Dark reboot was conspicuous by its absence. But perhaps Starfield’s ongoing M.I.A. status hurts the most — at least for long-suffering fans of the game. The Starfield community had hoped Bethesda would announce something to do with the game at its Xbox Games Showcase, but while The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76 both getting their moment in the spotlight, Starfield skipped proceedings entirely. No DLC, no expansion, no PlayStation 5 release… nothing. It’s fair to say the Starfield community is starting to lose hope and a good deal of faith in Bethesda, whose silence around the game has been deafening. “I had so much hope for today's Xbox show, but no,” said acatato on the Starfield subreddit. “After so much time of silence (let's not talk about small update) the game looks so dead now, it's sad.” “What a complete disappointment,” added totallynormalpersonz. “What a joke the only thing we ever hear from Bethesda about this game nowadays is stuff off the Creation Club. The Xbox showcase would have been the perfect time to show off something new for this game. Unfortunately Bethesda doesn't seem to care. Wouldn't surprise me if Bethesda has abandoned this game and are hoping the community will make content for them. This does not bode well for future Bethesda game studio projects.” “Bethesda makes it so hard to defend this game,” said TheVossDoss. “I love Starfield. 1,100 hours in. If it weren’t for mods, I’d given up long ago. Knowing that Bethesda will never read this, I’m nonetheless speaking directly to you — shame on you for keeping your loyal fans in the dark, and for throwing in the towel. If you decided to give up on this game and move on, fine, but let us know so we’re not holding on to hope. I cannot believe Starfield was a complete no-show today. Thank you to all the modders out there who have kept the game on life support. I fear, though, we’re getting dangerously close to the heart monitor flatlining.” Clearly, fans just want some sort of communication from Bethesda on the future of the game. If it’s left it behind, they’d like to know. If the promised second expansion is coming, they’d like to know. If Starfield is coming to other platforms, they’d like to know. Comments from Starfield fans are now spilling over into social media posts from Bethesda Game Studios about unrelated matters. Take, for example, this post about a Fallout 76 interview at Summer Game Fest. The replies include questions about Starfield’s status, including “Why did you guys abandon starfield?”, “Have you guys abandoned Starfield?”, “I’m uninstalling Starfield…. I’m tired of waiting,” and “RIP Starfield.” You get the idea. Amid the growing disappointment are some within the community who are pointing out that Bethesda may shadow-drop a Starfield expansion and a PS5 release. It enjoyed huge success with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which it shadow-dropped in April to the tune of over 4 million players. Perhaps this is the new way forward for Bethesda. And if that’s the case, then perhaps some sort of Starfield update could be around the corner. Whatever the case, the Starfield community is left sifting through previous statements from Bethesda as they look for a glimmer of hope. Starfield launched in September 2023 as Bethesda’s first brand new IP in 25 years, but it was not as well received as the studio’s previous games in the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls franchises, and the Shattered Space expansion, released a year later in September 2024, has a ‘mostly negative’ user review rating on Steam. Starfield went on to reach 15 million players, but the question of whether Bethesda might walk away from the game to focus on its other franchises has been a running theme since release. In June 2024, Bethesda insisted it remained committed to supporting Starfield, and confirmed at least one other story expansion would release following Shattered Space. And in an interview with YouTube channel MrMattyPlays, Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard said the developer was aiming to release an annual story expansion for “hopefully a very long time.” The wait to find out if all that still stands goes on.
