Battlestate Games has been developing its intense first-person tactical shooter Escape From Tarkov since 2012. Although the closed beta debuted in 2017, players had no idea when to expect the full release. Now, Battlestate Games has shared a new live-action Escape From Tarkov trailer that confirms its exit from early access this fall.

The November 15 release date was revealed in the closing seconds of the video above. Studio head Nikita Buyanov subsequently confirmed the date on his X account.

Let’s gooooooo!

Very little was shared about what will be included in Escape From Tarkov version 1.0. Presumably it will have some story content as well as refined maps, weapons, and quality-of-life improvements. But absent any firm details from Battlestate Games, we can only speculate.

2025 has already been a banner year for Nightdive Studios, the team behind the recently released System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster and the Heretic + Hexen remaster. The studio has made its name by giving classic games a modern coat of paint. One of the titles that Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick is still eager to get his hands on is Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, which has only ever been released on GameCube back in 2002.

Kick shared his desire to revisit Eternal Darkness during a recent appearance on Shacknews (via Nintendo Life). But since the rights to the game are fully owned by Nintendo, it may never get an official re-release.

"[Eternal Darkness has] been kinda locked behind the GameCube/Nintendo wall all this time, and it's something that I would personally love to see get re-released," Kick said.

Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford has predicted that Borderlands 4 will push the franchise's total sales numbers to a new stratosphere: 100 million units. Speaking to Insider Gaming, Pitchford said plainly, "We will break 100 million units with this launch, easily, all in, with the franchise."

That's not actually a very bold prediction. The series currently stands at more than 94 million units, so Pitchford is predicting sales of at least 6 million for Borderlands 4. By comparison, Borderlands 3 sold more than 23 million copies and is 2K's fastest-selling game ever. The top-selling game of all time for 2K is Borderlands 2, which has achieved sales of more than 30 million units.

Not many video game franchises have reached 100 million units sold. If Borderlands 4 can help push the series to that level, Borderlands would join the likes of GTA, Red Dead, Pokemon, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Final Fantasy, and Assassin's Creed.

Platinum Games, the developer of acclaimed action titles including Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, contributed to the development of Konami's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has confirmed. Specifically, Platinum created a new version of Snake's Nightmare, an Easter egg that longtime fans of MGS3 will no doubt relish the return of.

Snake's Nightmare is a third-person action sequence that is accessed by saving the game when Snake is captured and thrown in prison. When the save file is reloaded, instead of going back to the prison, players wake up in a hellish otherworld where a mysterious man wielding hook-swords takes on demons in a graveyard.

The minigame, also known to fans as Guy Savage, was originally written and directed by Shuyo Murata, who contributed to a number of other Metal Gear Solid projects as part of the original Kojima Productions team. Although Metal Gear Solid 3 has been re-released in various forms since its debut on the PlayStation 2, Snake's Nightmare/Guy Savage has been omitted in the majority of them.

The first trailer for Devil May Cry: Season 2 has been revealed, showing off more of what fans can expect from producer and showrunner Adi Shankar's animated take on the cult-classic Capcom games. This time, Devil May Cry is using one of the best tricks from the games, as it's adding Dante's brother Vergil to its anime-inspired universe. The new season will land on Netflix in 2026, and you can check out the first trailer for it below.

Devil May Cry's first season laid the groundwork for a brewing war between humanity and the demon realm, ending with a very unsubtle parallel to the 2003 Second Gulf War. Back in June, Shankar spoke about how Season 2 will differ from the first, explaining that Dante will start to level up and evolve across this new batch of episodes.

Fanatical has launched a new Summer Superstars Collection Bundle, giving you the chance to grab up to 22 PC games for as little as $6.60 each.

Pricing starts at two games for $15 ($7.50 per key), and the price will drop the more games you choose from the list. If you choose three or more games, you'll pay $7.15 per key, and if you choose five or more games, the price drops further to $6.60 per key. There's no limit to how many games you can select, and if you grab all 22 games, you'll pay $145--a pretty big discount from the full bundle's $519 value.

Kicking things off is Death Stranding: Director's Cut. Hideo Kojima's first game after his departure from Konami, Death Stranding is a strange but engaging game about getting cargo from point A to B while being mindful of the terrain, rain that steals time, and invisible dead creatures known as BTs. It has a slow start, but once things pick up, the game quickly evolves into a breathtaking tour of the US. This is the Director's Cut as well, so you're getting numerous enhancements and gameplay refinements. Since the sequel has just come out on PS5--and has been critically acclaimed--this is a great way to jump into the world of Death Stranding before Death Stranding 2: On the Beach makes its way to PC eventually.

Our other big recommendation is Dungeons of Hinterberg. Imagine The Legend of Zelda if it were a European comic book, and you'll have a good idea of what you can expect from the game's visuals and vibe. The game features a robust system of socializing, as you'll need to brave dungeons and the nightlife of a scenic Austrian village, building bonds with your fellow adventurers.

Nobody 2's Limited Edition Steelbook is available to preorder now for $38 at Walmart. Unlike the newly released Nobody Limited Edition Steelbook, the sequel's collectible 4K Blu-ray edition is exclusive to Walmart. Notably, the Steelbook Editions for both films utilize the same art style and layout, so these will look great next to each other on a display shelf. Standard 4K Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray editions of Nobody 2 are available to preorder for cheap at Amazon.

Nobody and Nobody 2 4K Blu-ray Steelbook Editions

The action sequel starring Bob Odenkirk as a John Wick-esque assassin debuted in theaters August 15. Nobody 2 has earned mostly positive critic and viewer reviews. It's not quite as highly regarded as the 2021 original, but it's still a lot of fun thanks to Odenkirk's superb performance as Hutch Mansell.

A 4K Blu-ray combo pack with both movies will launch alongside standalone editions of Nobody 2. Alternatively, you could build your own Nobody 2-Movie Collection by grabbing both Steelbook Editions for $68 total. The only thing better than doubles of Bob Odenkirk steelbooks is triples. Naturally, triples is best, so hopefully Nobody 3 happens.

At long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has some new footage and a release date--just two weeks away--but any official ratings from critics might take a bit longer.

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier posted on his Bluesky account that developer Team Cherry has opted not to send out preview codes to media outlets before launch. That's at least in part due to wanting to ensure reviewers aren't playing before those who backed the original game on Kickstarter.

"In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out," Schreier wrote.

Delta Force is a free-to-play tactical FPS, and it's now available across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and mobile platforms. The game includes large-scale battles across various multiplayer game modes, and features a variety of different operators you can use, each with unique abilities.

The current roster of 11 operators each fall under one of four class-based roles: Assault, Engineer, Recon, or Support. They all offer unique abilities, and it helps to know how to best use them and how they can work together as a team.

You'll only have four options by default, with one operator from each class, but the others can all be unlocked for free via the battle pass or in-game challenges.

Stardew Valley was recently in the news for its upcoming collaboration with Infinity Nikki. Some might assume Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone will enjoy a nice windfall from this, but the developer has clarified that he doesn't get paid for these kinds of crossovers and collaborations--and that's on purpose.

Posting on social media (via PC Gamer), Barone said, "To be clear, I never receive any money from these collabs. I've only done them because I was a fan of the other games, or because I genuinely thought the players would like it." His fans responded to say he should profit even more off his creation, but Barone replied, "It's okay, I've made enough from sales of the game."

All of Stardew Valley's past collaborations have been one-sided, with Stardew Valley content showing up in other games, like Balatro. The one exception was the Stardew Valley crossover with Terraria, for which both games received collaborative content with each other. Of this partnership, Barone said, "It was great. I love Terraria."

In February 2004, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was a hit out of the gate when it sold one million copies during its first week in early access. Now, this top-down single-player shooter is ready for its full launch next month. And as announced at Gamescom, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is also heading to Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will hit PC and Xbox Series X|S on September 17. GameSpot's Chris Pereira greatly enjoyed Survivor in early access, and compared it to Vampire Survivor. The game places players in control of a single dwarf miner, who can assume one of four classes: Driller, Engineer, Scout, and Gunner. Each class gives the dwarf different abilities and options as he explores Hoxxes IV, a procedurally generated planet filled with hostile aliens and riches beyond imagining.

Ghost Ship Games set the date for Survivor's release earlier this year, while noting that the decision to launch forced the publisher to drop Endless Mode from the game. The devs at Funday Games noted that keeping Endless Mode posed several technical challenges that would have bogged down the game's release. However, there is still a plan to add Endless Mode to Survivor at a later date.

NIS America has revealed that Ys X: Proud Nordics will arrive on Switch 2 and PC early next year in the US. The company calls this the definitive edition of the RPG, as it boasts a new storyline, mechanics, and dungeon.

Ys X: Proud Nordics launched on Switch 2 last month in Japan. Originally, the RPG came out in 2023 in Japan before NIS America brought Ys X: Nordics to the West in 2024 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. So far, there haven't been any details about a possible upgrade path for Ys X: Proud Nordics on Switch 2 or PC. There have been paid Switch 2 upgrades for Nintendo's new system as well as free patches for the hybrid system since it came out in June.

Per usual, Ys X follows Adol Christin (the protagonist of every Ys game), though this time he's joined by a sailor named Karja. The game sees the duo dealing with the "looming threat of an undying horde known as the Griegr," per a press release. "Aboard their ship, the Sandras, Adol and Karja gather a trusty crew of friends and allies as they go head-to-head with the Griegr in one unforgettable journey!"

With any crafting game, there’s always going to be that one mineable gem that’s worth an absolute fortune. In Prospecting, one of the most desired is the Fire Opal, a late-game mineral that's worth millions of dollars and can be used to make high level equipment.

This Roblox experience is certainly taking the world by storm. With a wholly unique gameplay loop of digging and scooping sand, before washing it away in a river current to find gems, many are tipping it to be one of the best Roblox games you can play. However, there is a lot of grinding to do before you reach Fire Opal, so here's when you can get it in Prospecting.

This gem, worth a whopping $1.6 million per kilogram in-game, is found in the Infernal Heart, Volcanic Sands, and The Magma Furnace areas. However, despite appearing in three different regions, the chances of actually finding it are incredibly low. It will probably take you hundreds, if not thousands of attempts before you even find one of these rare minerals.

High on Life 2 continues the absurd tendencies of the original and will feature a playable version of Sega's Bible Adventures game.

Creative director Mikey Spano from developer Squanch Games revealed at Gamescom that Richard Kind's character, Senator Muppy Doo, can factory reset your game, prompting a Bible Adventures takeover. The three games included with Bible Adventures--Noah's Ark, Baby Moses, and David and Goliath--are playable during this takeover. You can see how this unfolds in the video below.

Spano said someone at Squanch Games has "great connections" in the video game industry and helped get the rights sorted out to make this happen. When the idea came up to have this kind of in-game takeover with another game, Spano said it was his "dream" for Bible Adventures to be that game, but he didn't imagine it would work out. It did, and Spano said he's floored.

What do you have when you take cozy cooking games with monster fighting? You have the cleverly titled Beastro, from Timberline Studios. This upcoming game combines cooking game mechanics, laidback farming, and strategic deckbuilding combat to deliver a fresh take on the adventure genre. In Beastro, the idea of saving the world begins with preparing the perfect meal.

Set to launch in 2026 on Steam and Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass), Beastro follows Panko, a young fox and chef who suddenly finds himself in charge of a village eatery after his mentor mysteriously disappears.

As Panko, players will manage the restaurant, grow ingredients on the farm, forage in the wild, and serve local patrons. But there's more to Panko’s new role--he also must feed the Caretakers, adventurers who are the last line of defense against looming threats beyond the village walls. You can check out the trailer below.

The Battlefield 6 open beta has ended, and now Battlefield Studios has published a blog post that runs through some of the key changes for launch--and that includes a big nerf for the shotgun.

The M87A1 shotgun was too powerful in the beta, many said, and now Battlefield Studios will make a change to it so it "requires more pellets to secure a kill." The developer was made aware of the shotgun issues almost immediately after the beta went live, and the studio said on August 10 that the shotgun problems were already "resolved" in a different build of the game.

In terms of other weapon changes, Battlefield Studios said the team is making "targeted adjustments to deliver a more consistent and rewarding gunplay experience." This will include a "general pass on recoil and tap-fire characteristics" for every weapon in the game. Other changes are being made to encourage "more controlled tap-firing and burst-firing, rewarding precision and weapon mastery," the studio said.
