The Level-5 Craftsmanship livestream and a new trailer on April 10, 2026 provided new information on the highly-anticipated Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, revealing new features, story details, voice cast members, and perhaps most interestingly, that it will be a simultaneous worldwide release not just on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 but on PlayStation 5 and Steam. Between 2007 and 2013, the Professor Layton series released six mainline games and an anime movie, chronicling the adventures of Professor Hershel Layton and his assistant Luke Triton as they solved mysteries. After an attempt at a revival with a different cast in Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy in 2017 failed, sending the series into another hiatus, fans were very excited to see the good professor back when Professor Layton and the New World of Steam was announced in a 2023 Nintendo Direct.

Seeing developers leave a job they love always hurts, and yet I didn't expect the latest Lost Ark roadmap video to hit me quite this hard. Recent restructuring at Amazon Games saw two of the faces of the MMORPG, community manager Roxanne Sabo and producer Henry Stelter, both depart the company. That left just one member of its regular front-of-camera crew behind, franchise lead Matt Huston, to deliver what he says will be the last video roadmap as the team switches to text articles for the foreseeable future.

Every now and then, a game comes out of nowhere and surprises us all with its ambitions. And while they unfortunately often don't live up to expectations, there are always chances that they'll become the next best thing, and I have a strong feeling The Pines could just do that. Announced seemingly at random, The Pines is a purported psychological horror RPG set in the eponymous town, where the protagonist is sent due to dealing with certain "issues" of his own. Over there, he meets various characters, from tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists to outright supernatural creatures, all the while uncovering and unraveling the mystery of The Pines, itself very reminiscent of Twin Peaks. [Hidden Content] The game promises strong RPG elements, from dialogue choices to strong consequences for every decision, all the while placing you in a world that is way darker and stranger than it seems. Sound familiar? Well, Alan Wake sorta kinda did a similar thing, but The Pines seems different enough that it could be classified as a "Wake-type game." I mean, you follow a dude in third person through dank forests while there is a mystery around him that "they" don't want to tell him of, forcing him to experience the strange on his own, for better or worse. What I was particularly struck by were the graphics. Sure, in this day and age you can easily find a game that looks rather spectacular considering Unreal Engine 5 and its capabilities, but the cutscenes are just so high-quality that I feel a gripping story just has to follow suit. The gameplay and combat seem a bit stiffer than I would like, but I'm willing to overlook that for an in-development project that is this ambitious. So long as the mystery is intriguing enough, I'm good, and from what I could gather, it very well could be. I also got reminded of an old, small game called The Vanishing of Ethan Carter that I played as a kid. I don't remember it too much, but the vibes of a forested area, a strong mystery where the protagonist has no idea what's going on, and an overall sense of a looming presence all scratch the same itch as that indie did way back when. There's potentially a huge game here, so long as the devs get it right. And players over on social media are just as interested as I am, even if a bit skeptical of the ambition. Of course, comparisons to Alan Wake 2 dominate discussions, as that's simply unavoidable, but that is also not a bad thing per se. "[This] game looks like it's heavily inspired by games I already love, so happy to check out more of this in the future," one user said in a Reddit thread. "I love this vibe. I'm excited," said another. It's being developed by Studio Abattoir, seemingly first-time developers, so it could end up being a Clair Obscur situation, though that one did have a lot of veterans working on it. Either way, I'm excited, and I have a feeling many of you will be, too. The post The Pines could be the Alan Wake-type game we’ve been waiting for appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Co-op horror games have been going through a revolution ever since Lethal Company proved that small-scale projects can be worldwide hits so long as they maintain a strong meme factor, which eventually got so popular that it is now collectively referred to as "friendslop." And while the term is generally overapplied, it certainly is a great way to describe certain games, such as Titan Hunters, an upcoming co-op tower defense title where you and up to three friends defend your castle against attacking titans (yes, that was on purpose). You man cannons, play around with the game's physics, and fend off these skinless giants whose sole mission in life is to eat you alive. Both in design and in premise, the game is blatantly inspired by Attack on Titan, even too inspired, I'd say, because the titans themselves do not merely share their names with the manga's characters. No, they literally look the same, outside of a few creative differences such as overexaggerated faces and eyeballs that lean more into comedy than the manga does. [Hidden Content] Of course, there are also other, more original titans, such as one ginormous chicken with glowing eyes, so it's not a total copy through and through, but man, if it isn't barely avoiding copyright claims. And the game is so self-aware that in its promotional screenshots, there's a player called "Slopaladin," actively playing into the inevitable "friendslop" label that is going to be applied to the game. Despite all this, the game genuinely does look fun, as Attack on Titan and its whole premise are so incredibly good that it's about damn time we got a game that is even remotely based on it. The game is yet to receive an actual release date, and I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed even further by some sort of lawsuit or complaint issued by Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama, that is, if he's done drinking the tears of his fans who still cry about both the manga and the anime's endings. I, for one, never saw the ending as I stopped at the last film, so my rage is as of yet contained, though I have to say that the anime fell off a cliff after the first part of season three. Anyhow, I'm getting sidetracked. Titan Hunters' release is TBD, but we'll keep you posted if anything of note happens.

Cities Skylines 2 has had a rough old time of things. A lackluster launch, marred by performance issues aplenty, alongside a dearth of content compared to its long-running predecessor, left it between a rock and a hard place. Despite efforts from simulation game maker Colossal Order to get it into fighting shape, it's been an uphill battle. Having taken over the mantle at the start of the year, the incoming Iceflake Studios has had its work cut out for it. Now, the developer has put out a very techy blog post outlining where it feels the big roadblocks to smooth framerates are, and is releasing a benchmarking tool to help gather data moving forward.
