Lego Builder's Journey is rare not because it's a Lego game, but because it's a Lego game that actually requires you to do Lego stuff, like build and clack blocks together. So it seems to be with the new game from the same studio, Lego Voyagers. The difference this time is that it's two-player co-op with a more expansive world to explore. It looks grand in the trailer below. Read more View the full article

I never watched the Game of Thrones series on HBO because, frankly, I get my fill of political awfulness from the real world in which I live. But even without being immersed in the scene, I was surprised how quickly everyone stopped talking about it: It was like the last season rolled and everyone immediately decided to pretend the whole thing had never happened...

You wait years for something to give the massive battles of Total War a run for their money so Creative Assembly might be tempted to pull their thumbs out and fix sieges, and suddenly they start pouring from the sky. According to developer Raw Power, Chronicles: Medieval is a "dynamic sandbox blending action and RPG depth on a strategic scale," which is a lot of very good words to put in a row. Lets hope they all stay in formation once the arrows start flying. Here's a trailer. Read more View the full article

Atomic Heart 2 is currently in development at Mundfish, as shared today in an announcement at Summer Game Fest. Additionally, Mundfish also revealed The CUBE, a new multiplayer RPG shooter set in the Atomic Heart universe. In a new trailer shown today, we got our first look at Atomic Heart 2, which is currently being worked on for both PC and console. Like its predecessor, it's an action-adventure FPS with RPG systems set in a retrofuturistic alternate-history. In a world intended to be a utopia for humans and their robot servants, advanced robotics and AI have gone rogue and torn society apart. Just before it all crumbles for good, the player steps in to stop the utter collapse of humanity. As for The CUBE, it's set in the same universe as Atomic Heart, but takes place several years later in...well, a giant floating cube. The titular Cube's appearance has precipitated a number of strange and upsetting events, and players must head inside to discover the truth of what it really is and save humanity from its threat. The CUBE is a multiplayer RPG shooter planned for PC and consoles. The first Atomic Heart launched in 2023 to an 8/10 review from IGN: "Atomic Heart is a deeply ambitious, highly imaginative, and consistently impressive atompunk-inspired attempt at picking up where the likes of BioShock left off – something it’s done with a lot of success," we wrote in that review. Just last week, developer Mundfish revealed that Atomic Heart had surpassed 10 million players. The game has had multiple DLC releases since launch, and has one more still in development.

During today's Summer Game Fest event, we saw a new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which showed off more of the game's slashy smashy combat.

In February, we got a closer look at the game's protagonist, the historic swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who will fight off an evil force known as Malic as it tries to take over Kyoto. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently planned for release sometime in 2026. Developing... View the full article

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is a new real-time strategy game announced during tonight's Summer Game Fest announcement show. Coming to PC via Steam in 2026, a cinematic trailer showcased one of the Game of Thrones series' epic battles, and the ability for you to guide the result to a different outcome than in the TV show or books. As the smooth tones of Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) narrate events, we see the Night King claim Jon Snow (with the likeness of Kit Harrington) for himself. It's probably fine, he's died at least once already. Developing... Tom Phillips is IGN's News Editor.

I'm a big souls guy—and I generally make an effort to play a variety of soulslike spinoffs, especially since they've gotten pretty good, lately. Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen, Remnant 2, Nine Sols—we've had some rather solid offerings. Alas, I never got a chance to try out Mortal Shell. Luckily, there's a kickass sequel coming around the corner that's grabbed my heart by the nuts and glory killed it with a big, unrealistically-sized steel boot... Read more.View the full article

*********** developers Playside and publishers Warner Bros Interactive have announced Game Of Thrones: War For Westeros, a real-time strategy game based on George R.R. Martin's perennially unfinished novel series A Song Of Ice And Fire, which somehow doesn't have a proper RTS adaptation already. No, Game Of Thrones: Winter Is Coming doesn't count as an RTS adaptation, and besides, that one's kind of naff. As Cersei Lannister once put it to Ned Stark, "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die or you end up with a Mixed user review consensus on Steam". Read more View the full article

A fun but flawed idea is getting a sequel, heck yeahView the full article

The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching with a handful of new games, but for many of the people getting one this week, the main thing to play on it is software made for the original Switch. We’ve known for months that the Switch 2 would maintain backward compatibility with the vast majority of Switch games, but one major question was whether the Switch 2’s improved hardware would benefit older Switch games in some way. Especially in recent years, first- and third-party Switch games have struggled with the original system’s aging Nvidia chipset, which was already a bit dated when the system came out in 2017. After a day or so of testing various Switch games on the Switch 2, we can report firsthand that Switch games can look dramatically better on the new system. For games that Nintendo has taken the trouble to update—those with Switch 2 upgrade packs and those with free updates—players can expect higher resolutions, better frame rates, less texture and character pop-in, and smoother animations all around. Even games that haven’t been updated for the Switch 2 can run a bit more consistently on the new systems, though games without Switch 2-specific updates don’t improve as much as games with updates.
