Nintendo Crocs Are Here, And They Look Incredible

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 06:08

Nintendo has announced a new Super Mario x Crocs collaboration featuring five different designs based on the Mushroom Kingdom.

These are some of the most high-end and intricately designed Crocs we've seen, featuring a range of special touches. In particular, the Mario Classic Clog features a plush red cap and a yellow accent on the heel cup based on Mario's overalls.

The Bowser Classic Clog, meanwhile, features the character's iconic green color, along with PVC spikes on the toes and backstrap. The Princess Peach shoes offer the "royal treatment," featuring her crown and glitter and a platform fit. The Super Mario shoe features a blue colorway with a graphic print on it featuring Mario classics like golf coins, Super Stars, and Green Shells. The Yoshi Croc is, well, green, and has his orange fins running down the middle.

In addition to the shoes themselves, the collaboration includes lots of different Jibbitz charms that people can choose from, including charms based on Mario, Yoshi, Peach, Luigi, and Toad, along with charms for things like a Question Block.

The new Mario Crocs go on sale on July 15 on the Crocs website, the Nintendo Store, and "select" retailers around the world.

Here is the pricing:

There are kids and toddler versions of some of the Crocs as well. You can see the full rundown of pricing on the Crocs website.

Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis Gets Out Of The Way Of GTA 6 With Apparent Delay To 2027

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 05:21

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is not going to make it out on time, it seems. The remake of the original Tomb Raider game was originally scheduled to launch in 2026 but has now been delayed to February 2027, according to newly spotted (and subsequently deleted) retail listings showing a February 10, 2027 release date.

GameSpot has contacted Amazon Games, the publisher of the game, seeking comment about the Legacy of Atlantis release date.

If this sounds familiar, it's because another high-profile game, the Fable reboot, was also recently delayed from 2026 to February 2027.

Legacy of Atlantis will be one of two big Tomb Raider games coming in 2027 if current schedules hold, as a brand-new game, Tomb Raider Catalyst, is also slated for release in 2027.

In shifting to 2027, Legacy of Atlantis will now release after Rockstar's GTA 6 in November 2026.

Legacy of Atlantis is developed by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog, both of which are owned by Embracer, which also owns the Tomb Raider franchise.

The remake is described as a "true reimagining of the original game."

"We've thoughtfully refreshed the experience in exciting ways. Also built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, it features a gorgeous re-envisioning of iconic environments, immersive sound design, modern gameplay mechanics, and new surprises all while honoring the spirit of the classic," reads a line from the game's description.

Amazon Prime Members Get 15 Games For Free In June And A New He-Man Adventure

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 04:44

A fresh batch of games for Amazon Luna has been revealed, and the main event in June is a brand-new Masters of the Universe adventure. Arriving just in time for the new feature film, Masters of the Universe: Legends Unite is exclusive to Amazon Luna, and it offers a couch co-op experience for players. Several iconic faces--and at least one skull--from MOTU are featured in the roster, including He-Man himself, Man-At-Arms, Evil-Lyn, and Skeletor.

As a reminder, all of the free games that you claim through Amazon Luna are yours to keep forever, even if your subscription expires.

If you're looking to download and keep games, the selection in June is also pretty great. Right now, you can grab a trio of remastered Tomb Raider adventures, the Definitive Edition of Mafia 3, and XCOM: Chimera Squad is a fun spin-off of the tactical franchise. Next week sees GI Joe: Wrath of Cobra bring old-school action to your PC, and Paradise Killer is an incredible mystery game.

June 18 adds some escape rooms to the mix, and rounding out the selection on June 25 are four more games, including the turn-based strategy title Terraforming Mars. That makes for 15 downloadable games in total that you can claim for your PC library, for free.

Mina The Hollower Is Selling Much Faster Than Shovel Knight

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 04:40

Mina The Hollower sold 300,000 copies in its first three days, developer Yacht Club Games has announced, far faster than the studio's previous game, Shovel Knight. 

The sales figure comes from Bloomberg, who spoke with Yacht Club Games co-founder Sean Velasco. He said the strong sales so far mean the studio can continue operating as normal without making cuts or seeking outside investment. Yacht Club underwent layoffs and put a second project, a 3D Shovel Knight game, on hold over the course of Mina's development.

Velasco previously said Mina was a "make or break" moment for Yacht Club after working on the game for six years, and that if it sold 200,000 copies, "that would be really, really great."

Mina is selling far faster than Shovel Knight, which took around a week to sell 75,000 copies, according to Bloomberg. The stronger start is likely due in part to rave reviews, with Mina the Hollower currently tied with Forza Horizon 6 as the best-reviewed game of 2026 so far according to Metacritic. In GameSpot's Mina the Hollower review, writer Steve Watts gave Yacht Club's latest a 9/10, calling it a "masterpiece."

Despite the strong start, Velasco said he is hoping Mina reaches even higher sales heights. He previously told Bloomberg if the game doesn't sell a million copies he'd be "disappointed," and has now said he wonders how the best-reviewed game of 2026 isn't the fastest-selling game and cited a need to "close that gap."

Mina the Hollower was originally slated to release in October 2025, until it was delayed indefinitely at the last minute, a delay that ended up being over six months. In an interview with GameSpot, Yacht Club's David D'Angelo said the delay was to address the worst rooms in the Zelda-inspired adventure that needed more polish. It was also to make sure the game was balanced regardless of which route or items players were bringing to the game's various encounters. 

"It was a lot of permutations of just ways to play the game that we were just going through over and over and over and trying to make sure no matter how you played the game, hopefully you'd have a good time," D'Angelo said.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, A 50v50 Shooter, Delayed To August

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 02:39

Team17 and Expression Games have announced that Hell Let Loose: Vietnam has been delayed, and is now set for release on August 13. The game was previously set to launch on June 18.

"We have identified several areas where additional development time will allow us to deliver a stronger launch experience," the developers said. Delaying the game will allow players to experience a version of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam that is at the "quality level we expect and you deserve," the statement added.

"We understand that many of you have been waiting patiently for this next installment in the Hell Let Loose franchise and we are deeply appreciative of your patience. We will continue to keep you updated on our progress."

The delay came after the game's latest open beta period this past weekend. Team17 and Expression said they were excited to welcome players into the beta and and receive their feedback.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a 50v50 first-person shooter set during the Vietnam War. A follow-up to 2021’s Hell Let Loose–which was inspired by the conflicts of World War 2–players will have to once again rely on tactical teamwork to survive.

There will be six maps at launch, and in addition to infantry combat, the game supports vehicles like helicopters for air superiority.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is coming PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.

Toy Story 5 Isn’t Getting A Game, But Fans Are Still Eating Well

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 02:00

Later this month, Toy Story 5 will tell a new tale starring Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of Pixar's living toys as the franchise celebrates its 30th anniversary. Today, Atari and Digital Eclipse have revealed they will also be celebrating the milestone by going back in time with Toy Story: Retro Roundup and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition, both of which are due to launch in October. 

Toy Story 3 Complete Edition is a modern remaster of the video game version of Toy Story 3, which first released in 2010. The restored version will include both the story mode and Toy Box Mode, which dropped players into an open world filled with activities that could be tackled in any order. 

Meanwhile, Toy Story Retro Roundup will bundle multiple games from Toy Story's past in a single collection, with some games represented on multiple consoles. Games included in the collection are the original Toy Story game, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and Toy Story Racer.

While the Retro Roundup will mostly feature Toy Story games, at least one other game from Pixar's history has been included in the collection: A Bug's Life. The 1998 3D platformer from Traveller's Tales has also been confirmed for the compilation.

Both Toy Story 3 Complete Edition and the Retro Roundup will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and PC on October 15. Digital and physical options will be available, with the physical edition bundling both games into one package. 

Fallout 76 Is Coming To PS5 And Xbox Series X|S With Better Frame Rates And Up To 4K Support

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 01:23

Bethesda's popular multiplayer game Fallout 76 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the developer has announced.

Bethesda will bring the game to the latest consoles first with a public testing period this month. Anyone who owns Fallout 76 can download the test versions on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

"Once testing is completed, we plan on releasing the update later this summer," Bethesda said, though it did not give any projected timelines.

Fallout 76 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will have a number of updates and improvements, including the following:

  • Targeted 60fps across Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PS5 Pro.
  • Improved draw distances.
  • Improved shadows.
  • 4K resolution (on compatible displays) on Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, PS5 Pro.
  • VRR (on compatible displays) on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS5, PS5 Pro.
  • PS5 and PS4 Pro will support 1440p while previous generation platforms will continue to support 1080p.

Beyond ongoing support for Fallout 76, Bethesda is working on Fallout 5, though it's not expected to release anytime soon. The Fallout TV show remains ongoing as well, with its third season now in production and expected to release in 2027.

PlayStation’s First-Party Game Sales Have Been On Decline Since 2020, Data Shows

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 01:20

After the PS5 generation got off to a strong start in late 2020, sales of first-party games have declined dramatically every year since then, new data has shown. This follows a period where the PS4 generation saw a regular influx of new first-party releases on that platform, but Sony's own numbers paint a worrying picture.

According to Stephen Totilo at Game File and Sony's own data, first-party PlayStation sales peaked in the 2020 financial year--April 2020 to March 2021--with 58.4 million sales. In the following years, those sales began to decline and sank to just 28.9 million units sold in the 2024 financial year, while the 2025 financial year saw the numbers rise to 32.1 million sales for that period. So what's going on here exactly?

It's worth noting that PS4 games like The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima are included in the 2020 FY figures, as they launched at the tail end of the PS4 era and are backward compatible with PS5. The PS4 also received a few more games, and at a time when COVID lockdowns saw an explosive growth in gaming, consoles like the PS5 were a hot commodity. Since then, there have been big changes at Sony, some good and some bad.

https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/2061590901407809559

Sony's live-service plans, spearheaded by former executive Jim Ryan, haven't exactly panned out as intended, resulting in costly cancellations, studios being shut down, and the plug being pulled on the online-shooter Concord just two weeks after launch. The plan was to launch 12 live-service games by 2025, but in 2026, it had only a handful of these. Helldivers 2 by Arrowhead is one of its biggest, but Sony is only responsible for publishing the game, and the studio is looking to self-publish its next project.

Vehicular combat game Destruction AllStars has been delisted, content updates for Destiny 2 will end this month, and the response to the upcoming Horizon: Hunters Gathering has been tepid at best. That's not to say that there haven't been great PS5 exclusives released--just look at Astro Bot and Ghost of Yotei--but long development times and soaring costs have impacted the frequency at which these games are released.

Today's State of Play livestream could be the best indicator yet of what PS5 owners can expect in the near future. It does feel like Sony is attempting to recapture its momentum with a renewed focus on single-player games. Upcoming projects like Marvel's Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet point to this potential U-turn. Sony is reportedly keeping its single-player games as PS5 exclusives after several years of bringing them to PC, and other live-service projects like FairGame$ appear to have taken a backseat.

Witcher 3’s Blood And Wine Expansion Was Nearly Called Something Totally Different

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 01:07

The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion nearly had a different name. CD Projekt's Pawel Sasko confirmed recently that the 2016 expansion was originally called Bells of Beauclair, known internally as BoB.

The developers later opted for the more "captivating title" of Blood and Wine. In the developer's eyes, this name captured "the spirit of the narrative" quite well and it was "easier to spell out and articulate." 

Sasko was reminiscing on Blood and Wine for its 10th anniversary, as the expansion originally released on May 31, 2016. He said the development timeline was "pretty hardcore," with the team putting together "a completely new country, main story, characters, monsters, mechanics, player's vineyard, and a narrative worthy of closing Geralt's journey." 

Sasko went on to say that the "ferocity" around Blood and Wine "still floors me" some 10 years after the expansion was originally released.

"You surpassed any expectation we had about The Witcher 3's longevity. To everyone who worked on BoB: You built something that may outlive all of us. I am proud of you, I am proud of what we made," he said. "And to everyone who played it, thank you for keeping Toussaint alive."

Blood and Wine was The Witcher 3's second and presumed to be final expansion, following Hearts of Stone. However, in May 2026, CD Projekt announced a third expansion, Songs of the Past. It's set for release in 2027 and acts as a prologue of sorts to The Witcher 4.

After The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Red made Cyberpunk 2077, and it was also a smashing success after overcoming initial struggles. Its own expansion, Phantom Liberty, was released in 2023.

Now, CD Projekt Red is making The Witcher 4, 5, and 6, but those games are not likely to get any expansions, according to CD Projekt Red.

A New Game Of Thrones Game Is Out Today On Mobile

Wed, 06/03/2026 - 00:00

Warner Bros. Games and HBO have released a new Game of Thrones game. Game of Thrones: Dragonfire is a free-to-play mobile game based on the prequel series House of the Dragon.

A strategy game set 172 years before Daenerys Targaryen was born, Dragonfire is developed by Warner Bros. Games Boston and takes inspiration from events from the TV series. You play as a Valyrian descendant who has to hatch, raise, and fly dragons in battle to dominate Westeros.

The game features familiar characters from the show--including Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower--as well as original characters created for the game, and like the show, players need to strategize and form alliances to come out on top.

Check out a new "Let's Play" video for the game below, featuring Lord Corlys Velaryon actor Steve Toussaint.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5LMBhIUJ4w

Dragonfire lets players journey through "campaigns," which are described as "epic scenarios" that last around eight weeks, with different objectives and story moments in each. Each stage of a campaign only lasts for a set time, so players are driven to stay engaged. Each campaign has specific goals that players can strive for to get more powerful dragons to help in future, more challenging campaigns.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SI4_Dzxeg

You can read more about Dragonfire on its website. It's just the latest Game of Thrones game for mobile, following Game of Thrones: Conquest.

“We’re thrilled to bring Game of Thrones: Dragonfire to mobile players with an immersive strategy experience that is very authentic to House of the Dragon,” said JB Perrette, CEO and President, Global Streaming and Games, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Our Warner Bros. Boston team did an amazing job creating a game true to the Game of Thrones world for fans, inviting them to build their legacy, forge alliances, and define their own battle for Westeros.”

Game of Thrones is one of four major pillars that WB Games is focusing on going forward, the others behind DC, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat. WB Games parent company Warner Bros. Discovery has entered into a deal to be acquired by Paramount, and the acquisition is said to close this year. It remains to be seen what changes, if any, are planned for WB Games as a result of the buyout.
