Check out the trailer:

The official description reads:

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the newest franchise in development for the PlayStation 5 console from Naughty Dog, the studio behind acclaimed series like The Last of Us and UNCHARTED. Set thousands of years in the future, Intergalactic puts players into the role of Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

Though sci-fi properties are dime-a-dozen nowadays, Intergalactic is very specific in that it makes use of retro sci-fi—in that everything is kind of a blend of the future if it was imagined in the 80s. There’s a lot of analog technology in Jordan’s ship, and you can even see her making use of CDs.

It’s said that the game is inspired heavily by sci-fi properties like Akira and Cowboy Bebop, and even director Neil Druckmann states that it’s the ‘deepest’ Naughty Dog has ever went when it comes to gameplay.

The cast is led by Tati Gabrielle (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and also includes the likes of Troy Baker, Kumail Nanjiani, and Tony Dalton. It’s also worth mentioning that the music is coming from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, members of Nine Inch Nails and recent providers for the score of Tron: Ares and Challengers.

No release date has been set for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, but fans are hoping the game comes out sometime in 2025 for the PS5.

As per the official announcement, pre-download for Marvel Rivals is now available on Steam. Here’s the official post:

— Marvel Rivals (@MarvelRivals) December 4, 2024

A lot of people in the thread have been asking for when the download for console will be available, but unfortunately, they may have to wait until launch day December 6. The same also goes for anyone looking for the game in the Epic Game Store.

With Rivals only being available for new-gen consoles, it would be expected that the game is going to require a lot of storage space, so being able to pre-download it would be a great bonus for everyone who wants to get their hands on the game immediately.

Unfortunately for non-Steam users, they’ll have to spend a good chunk of launch day just downloading and installing files before they can actually jump into the Chronoverse and start blowing things up.

Marvel Rivals has been on their closed beta for months now, and everyone has been watching content of new heroes and how they play in the game. Reviews for Rivals have also been great, and with the popularity of the IP, a lot are expecting that it will take a huge chunk of players away from Overwatch 2.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Marvel Rivals finally launches for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 on Dec. 6.

The game came out last year, and Variety reports that a sequel is already in the works and is a ‘very big priority’ for WB. No details have been released about the game, but it’s said that the games team is currently ‘coordinating some of the big-picture storytelling elements’ with the HBO series—hopefully making one cohesive continuity.

When it comes to the canon of Hogwarts Legacy, the game doesn’t exactly follow the details of the films, but is more of a meshing of elements from both the books and the films. It would probably be difficult to keep the continuity consistent with the TV series as it goes along, but if they manage to pull it off, it would be one amazing coordinated feat.

Who knows, maybe they can even share assets between the game and series, which could make things easier on both productions. What’s important is that WB is thinking ahead when it comes to this franchise, and they already have the original eight films to set the bar in terms of quality and faithfulness to the source material.

Honestly, I was always on the team to just keep expanding the world, but with Fantastic Beasts dying out in the box office, it’s understandable that WB would want a sure one. I think that starting a new canon could ruin any fans who are already invested with the existing Potter films.

Then again, that’s just my opinion.

No release date has been set for the Hogwarts Legacy sequel, but the game is now playable for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4|5.

While Jin Sakai may have been the lead of the original game, the sequel will not focus on a new ‘Ghost’ by the name of Atsu. Her backstory isn’t clear yet, but fans are already wondering why the game didn’t just bring back the first game’s hero.

Talking to PlayStation Blog, Sucker Punch’s Andrew Goldfarb confirms that the reason why Jin isn’t being brought back for Yotei was because this game actually takes place 300 years after the events of the first game. Goldfarb says:

“We also wanted to continue to innovate. To create something fresh but familiar, we looked beyond Jin Sakai’s story and the island of Tsushima, and shifted our focus to the idea of the Ghost instead. At Sucker Punch we love origin stories, and we wanted to explore what it could mean to have a new hero wearing a Ghost mask, and uncovering a new legend. This led us to Ghost of Yōtei: a new protagonist, a new story to unfold, and a new region of Japan to explore.”

With the game moving forward 300 years, it also explains why there are some technological advancements shown in the preview—specifically a medieval version of a gun.

It’s not clear how that’s going to function in the game yet, but the original Tsushima gave Jin a variety of weapons including kunai, a blow dart, and a bow. Sure, why not throw an old gun in there?

Other differences with the Atsu character also include the fact that she wields two swords—which will probably come with their own original stances. It’s also kind of implied that she’s going to get animal companions in this one, which is an upgrade from the first game where Jin can only pet the foxes.

Though there are some players who love Jin, it’s going to be interesting to see how the legend of the Ghost evolves over the next few years. Who knows, maybe Atsu may end up just blowing everyone away.

Expect Ghost of Yotei to launch for the PS5 sometime in 2025.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is set to launch this September, and they just released a gameplay walkthrough that gives a good look at the game and how you can play it. Check this out:

The trailer gives a good look at exactly how different positions in the team works, i.e., chaser, beater, keeper, and seeker. The game has also managed to fix the balancing problem that the golden snitch brings to the table. Instead of earning 150 points to whoever catches the snitch, the points have been reduced to 30, making it a huge boost at points, but doesn’t completely invalidate the points that are earned throughout the game.

As far as having a Quidditch career goes, the game will start you out in the Burrow with the Weasley’s made-up pitch; then you can move up to Hogwarts where you can compete among the houses; then it moves up to inter-school competitions with the pitches for Beuxbatons and Durmstrang; and finally it culminates in the international stage at the Quidditch World Cup (an arena fans saw in the Goblet of Fire movie).

There have been previous attempts at Quidditch games before, but none have been able to capture the difference in playstyle for each of the different roles in the team. Hopefully Champions will manage to impress the die-hard Potter fans.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is set to launch on Sept. 3 for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox.

Check the trailer for Star Wars Outlaws out:

Though the game is expected to launch soon, there are some pre-order bonuses if you elect to get the game early. Pre-ordering will get you cosmetics for Kay and her speeder, and the Gold Edition and Ultimate Edition of the game will allow players access three days earlier.

The game also comes with Season Passes that will give players extra content which includes:

– Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card story pack

– Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate’s Fortune story pack

– Jabba’s Gambit exclusive Day 1 mission

– The Kessel Runner character pack

– The Hunter’s Legacy bundle*

– The Cartel Ronin bundle*

Though some reviews have been bashing on Outlaws a few weeks ago, there are some that have spoken out about liking the game and praising the marriage of Ubisoft’s Open-World format and Star Wars endless amount of explorable worlds.

With Jedi having the spotlight for so long with the Star Wars Jedi games, I’m just excited we actually get to have a lead character that’s more of a scoundrel with the blasters and the starships.

Star Wars Outlaws launches for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on Aug. 30.

Check out Control starring Juno:

Every journey starts somewhere.

 Join Juno on her voyage to Future Earth in the newest Hero Trailer, ‘Control.’

The short essentially gives fans a look at Juno’s backstory and her personality. It’s been said that she had grown up on Mars, and it’s heavily hinted in the gameplay that she’s still getting used to being on Earth. As for the title of the short Control, it’s also been said that Juno suffers from anxiety, so they made that one of the main themes of her origin trailer.

In the game, Juno is considered to be a mobile attack healer, so she can float around the map while her gun either damages/heals whoever she’s shooting at.

I’ll admit, Overwatch has dropped some more high-quality trailers before , but this one is still pretty great when it comes to introducing a new character. With League of Legends beating out Overwatch for the acclaimed TV series adaptation with Arcane, fans are still hoping that Blizzard would give Tracer and the gang their much-deserved adaptation treatment—whether it be a series or a full-on movie.

Juno is now playable for Overwatch 2. The game is free-to-play on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Just in, the launch date has been announced, and it comes with the gameplay reveal for buddy duo Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Check this out:

The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda is in danger! Captain America leaps into action against his age-old rival: The Winter Soldier. Assemble and answer the call, players!

As per the announcement, the game is officially going to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on December 06, 2024—just in time for the Christmas season where kids will hopefully have some money to cash in on some DLC.

Captain America had actually leaked months earlier, and her we see his official look and gameplay. While the shield being a projectile was a given, it does look like he has the Charging Star move from Marvel vs. Capcom where he just rushes the enemy with his shield.

Speaking of his shield, it looks like it can generate a force field which expands its area of effect.

As for Bucky/Winter Soldier, the game has decided to get more creative with his robot arm, allowing him to have robot tentacles—which pretty much hits his HYDRA theme. Besides the arm, it looks like he comes with a standard pistol; too bad he isn’t as armed as the Punisher when it comes to his arsenal.

Fans are only expecting this roster to keep growing down the line. Hopefully NetEase manages to keep the ball rolling for long enough. Marvel Rivals is set to launch on Dec. 6 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

As shared by Miller Ross on Twitter, here’s concept art of a playable Jennifer Walters a.k.a. She-Hulk that was supposed to appear in the second season of the game. Check this out:

This is Crystal Dynamics' She-Hulk as she was slated to appear in the cancelled season 2 of Marvel's Avengers, to be voiced by Krizia Bajos.

The art comes from Sean Izaakse and the character was said to have been voiced by Krizia Bajos (Spider-Man 2, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League). We don’t know how she would play, but she’s likely going to be a more agile version of the Hulk, who was a playable character in the base version of the game.

Considered to be one of Square Enix’s biggest flops, Avengers: A-Day launched to terrible reviews, and was only able to survive for a few more years before Crystal Dynamics officially pulled the plug on the game’s live service.

In that time though, the game was able to release a bunch of DLC including playable Marvel characters like Black Panther, both Hawkeyes Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, Winter Soldier, Jane Foster, and Spider-Man. Despite the short hype the characters were able to get, they ultimately couldn’t save the game which just couldn’t seem to shake off its bad press during launch.

For now, it looks like Marvel has found their video game golden goose with Marvel Rivals. Reviews for the game have been great so far, but we’ll have to wait until the official release to see just how successful it can be.

Avengers: A-Day has been pulled from digital stores, but the game is still available via physical copies for PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox Series X.

As of now, people are still guessing what kind of kit Steve Rogers will have in the game, but it does look like the shield is going to function as a projectile that comes back pretty quickly. No doubt he’ll probably have moves where he rushes into people with the shield. They would also want to do something with his superhuman strength.

And though Steve may have used a gun during WWII, it’s unlikely that they’re going to give him something as a simple as a handgun for this game. Most likely he’ll have a lot of melee attacks like Thor does.

Just like Overwatch, fans are expecting the game to just keep adding characters. While there are some fan-favorites that are at the top of everyone’s list, Rivals has managed to surprise fans by adding some more obscure characters like Magik and Jeff the Land Shark.

Fingers crossed they bring in Gwenpool because she needs more mainstream love.

Marvel Rivals still has no release date, but the game is expected to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime this year.

Check this out:

ATTENTION future Quidditch stars, it’s time to approach the pitch! Grab your broom, pick your position, and prepare to take flight.

There aren’t that much specifics when it comes to gameplay, but the trailer does give a hint at the different roles and how they play like the chasers and the seeker. I’m guessing if they want to go the multiplayer route, players will have to complete teams which also include beaters and keepers which have their own gameplay loop.

Though the films have only shown to locations where people have played Quidditch—Hogwarts and the Quidditch World Cup—it looks like the game has added some other arenas based on expanded lore from the book. We see that there are pitches for the other Wizarding schools Beuxbatons and Durmstrang, and it’s also been confirmed that you can also play Quidditch at the Burrow—a scene that happened in the books but wasn’t put in any of the films.

While players can create their own characters, they’ve also revealed that they could play characters from the books like Harry, Malfoy, Ron, or Cho Chang. Hopefully the game also includes some non-movie teams like the Holyhead Harpies. It would also be fun to see some players that didn’t get that much screentime including Oliver Wood, Angelina Johnson, the Weasley twins Fred and George, or celebrities like Viktor Krum.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is set to launch on Sept. 3 for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Just in, we have the official character reveal for Venom: Lethal Protector, and it showcases a lot of what Eddie Brock can do as a human bonded with an alien symbiote from outer space. Check this out:

Here’s the official description for the character in Marvel Rivals:

Together, we are Venom!

Native to the planet Klyntar but once bonded to a certain infuriating web-head, the alien symbiote found his pair in the disgruntled Eddie Brock, together becoming the hulking Venom. After years as a hungering force of evil, these halves have found their way to becoming a one-of-a-kind lethal protector, evolving beyond their kin yet never surrendering their unmatched ferocity.

Lost in the Timestream Entanglement, Venom remains unable to recollect their past, thrust into worlds unknown as they function on instinct to recuperate. However, darkness stirs in the far reaches of the Multiverse as something ancient wriggles its tendrils into divine minds across all of time and space. Now, it’s up to Venom to recover their memory and take the battle to the edge of space, whether dressed in black or blue!

Though Venom can climb walls and swing like Spider-Man, he’ switched out his webs for tentacles, and his moveset is diversified on the shapeshifting abilities of the symbiote. He actually resembles the classic video game version of Venom from the Marvel vs. Capcom series, and that blue skin definitely feels like an homage to it.

With Spider-Man best known for being quick and nimble, Venom is expected to be a different kind of beast on the arena. That being said, Venom and Spider-Man are expected to have a kind of synergy/dynamic when the two are teamed up or against each other—it’s only expected when it comes to these character-driven hero shooters. Even Overwatch has in-game rivals and companions that have skills that compliment/negate each other.

No release date has been announced for Marvel Rivals, but it’s expected to launch on all major platforms sometime this year.

Check this out:

The official description of the game reads:

Prepare to survive the end of the world as Alex Taylor. With nothing more than your wits and the tools you scavenge, you’ll have to overcome the many treacherous challenges and obstacles that lay ahead – all without making a sound.

Though sneaking around is expected to be a huge chunk of the game—what with the aliens (or Death Angels)  that only track sound—it’s unclear how the game is going to be handling combat. First-person would suggest that The Road Ahead would mainly be a shooter, and there are guns in the game; but I expect players will be forced to carry around weapons that don’t make a sound.

Based on the trailer, it also looks like there are environmental elements that would mask the sounds from the Angels including sprinklers and rain. If anything, it could be taking a leaf out of The Last of Us’ book where it’s a tight narrative that has players going through specific setpieces in slightly open maps.

I’ll admit, it’s impressive that A Quiet Place has managed to last this long in the public consciousness, and the franchise only seems to keep evolving. I just hope they don’t adapt it to the ground like what happened with the Terminator films.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is aiming to launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime this year.

Check this out:

Gonna take you for a ride back to the arcades with MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics! 7 legendary games, all in one Super Heroic collection, coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Steam, later in 2024.

The list of games in the collection include X-Men Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of Super Heroes, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 New Age of Heroes; and just to add to all of that, you get the beat-em up The Punisher where you get to play as either Frank Castle or Nick Fury.

Though we still have a new gen of Marvel vs. Capcom games, the originals were praised for being able to amass such huge rosters of playable characters. Not only did they give the spotlight to popular heroes, they also made even more obscure characters like Blackheart, Shuma-Gorath, and Captain Commando playable.

Besides being able to access the games, the collection also allows you a look at the art gallery containing never-before-seen concept art. Plus, you also get to check out the soundtrack for all of the games.

This should be a huge nostalgia trip for seasoned fighting game fans, and fingers crossed we get to see a return to this 2D fighting genre with massive rosters of characters.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics launches for PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch later this year.

The last Quidditch-focused game fans got was Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup back in 2003, and now there’s been a big reveal for Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. Check this out:

We don’t have an extensive look at the gameplay, but it does look like some elements are being shows in the cinematic, from the top-down view to the shot in the end with the chaser approaching a goal.

It also looks like the game will allows players to participate in school-level matches of Quidditch as well as the World Cup—seeing that Quidditch star Viktor Krum can also be seen in the trailer.

Seeing that there’s no regular sport that represents Quidditch, I imagine the gameplay is going to be split among the different positions in a Quidditch team i.e., Chaser, Keeper, Beater, and Seeker. It’s admittedly going to be a daunting task when it comes to game design, but it would be fantastic if Unbroken Studios manages to pull off a well-balanced game that could have multiplayer/competition potential.

Let’s just hope the figure out how to fix that unbalanced point system with the Golden Snitch.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions launches for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on Sept. 3.

Just in, we have the reveal for the console beta of Rivals, and it also comes with a look at the gameplay of two new characters. Check this out:

The official description reads:

Marvel Rivals finally comes to PlayStation 5 and Xbox!

Venom and Adam Warlock unleash their powers! Watch as they lead their teams into an epic face-off with all-new Team-Up abilities and environmental destruction!

 Warm up your skills for the next phase of Marvel Rivals: the Closed Beta Test will be unleashed next July on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam!

What’s also great is that PS5 players will also get access to an exclusive Spider-Man skin. At least Xbox players can be rest-assured that they’ll still be able to play the character—unlike in other games where Spidey is only playable in PlayStation.

As for the officially revealed characters, we can see that Venom has some of Spider-Man’s abilities, like being able to swing around the map. His symbiote powers make him different as it allows him to ‘splatoon’ himself toward other players and make a huge burst of an attack.

As for Warlock, it looks like he’s a more healing-based Doctor Strange—which could make him this game’s Mercy, but it’s too early to tell.

With July still a month away, it’s possible we could get more character reveals down the line. By then we should also get a tentative release window for the actual game.

Watch out for the Closed Beta Test for Marvel Rivals when it arrives or consoles this July.

After the release of Korra from The Legend of Korra, the game has brought in classic characters from the original Airbender series in the form of Katara, Toph, and Zuko. Check this out:

Yip yip! Get ready, Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to Fortnite.

Katara, Zuko, and Toph land in the Shop tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/PlP1PWs7Bl

— Fortnite (@FortniteGame) April 8, 2024

Though these three characters are now available, the game is also expected to make Aang himself a playable character, and players will also be able to use airbending with him. For now, the game has the other three elements, Fire, Water, and Earth, available as Mythic weapons.

One character that a lot of fans are looking for though, is Sokka. Sokka isn’t really a bender, but his weapons are still extra props that come with the Airbender characters. Hopefully they manage to bring him into the game soon so players can have a completed Team Avatar.

With Avatar: The Last Airbender recently blowing up on Netflix, you would think that Fortnite would have decided to release this skins earlier. If anything, it still manages to catch up to the hype of the show, and these should keep fans interested in the world of Airbender for a little while longer as they wait for the next season or an update on the movie from Avatar Studios.

Katara, Zuko, and Toph are now available on the Fortnite shop. Fortnite is now playable for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S,PC, PlayStation 4|5, and mobile.

Star Wars Outlaws is set to come out later this year, and we have our first official story trailer since the announcement back in June 2023. Check this out:

The official description for the game reads:

Experience the first-ever open world Star Wars game, set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new. Risk it all as Kay Vess, an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix. Fight, steal, and outwit your way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as you join the galaxy’s most wanted.

Though most Star Wars games concern the fight between the Empire and the Rebellion, Star Wars Outlaws is unique in that we get to look at the crime syndicates, who are every bit just as ferocious and dangerous. But just like with Han Solo, we should always expect some scoundrels to be leaning closer to a specific side.

Based on what’s revealed in the trailer, we know that this is going to be taking place between the events of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (hence Han in Carbonite), and I’m guessing we could be seeing more cameos down the line besides Han Solo and Jabba.

Are people not sick of Boba Fett yet? How about someone from The Mandalorian like Din Djarin or Bill Burr?

Star Wars Outlaws launches on Aug. 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

There have been rumblings about an upcoming character who can dig through maps before, but now we have our official look at Venture. Check them out:

You can’t spell Adventure without Venture!

Our newest Damage Hero is here and they’re ready to break new ground! Equipped with a Smart Excavator and a spunky personality, this spirited archeologist is ready to send shockwaves through the enemy team and emerge victorious.

Like Sojourn, Venture is said to come from Canada and will be the 40^th hero added to the game. It’s also said that they could be Egyptian, which kind of makes sense because Overwatch used to have a map where players would fight among ancient Egyptian runes.

So far we get a good look at Venture’s skillset which are all drill-based. I can’t help but shake that their ability to tunnel into the ground is something akin to swimming across ink in Nintendo’s Splatoon. We should expect some more specifics as the character undergoes the limited time trial this weekend.

Venture arrives for Overwatch 2 Season 10 which launched on April 16, but they will be available to play for limited-time trial which runs from March 28–March 31.

Overwatch 2 is now playable for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Here’s the official announcement for Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection:

The collection essentially will bring back the original Battlefront games, but they will also be coming with all the DLC content that had been released for the games. Players will be able to get access to all new maps as well as playable characters that were only exclusive to specific platforms.

Battlefront has admittedly become a gold standard when it comes to Star Wars games. Though the modern Battlefront is still pretty great by itself, it still didn’t allow players the ability to get into a ship, fly into a larger enemy ship, and get off and start causing havoc on the ground there.

Though the launch for Battlefront II was considered disastrous, the developers have infamously ‘fixed’ the game over the course of a year since it officially released, adding all kinds of DLC and characters. Hopefully this re-release of the classic Battlefront will get fans geared up for a release of a Battlefront III, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with the Battlefront Classic Collection .

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is set to launch for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch on March 14.
