This Ghost Story Musical Is Packed With Personality And A Fright-Filled Mystery

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 07:27

There Are No Ghosts at the Grand is a first-person, narrative-driven mystery game developed by Friday Sundae. This is the studio's debut game, and a hands-on demo is available for those at Gamescom this week. I watched the demo ahead of its release at a preview event, and the game is an alluring combination of part-ghost story, part-musical, and part-renovation game. The heart of the game is the ghost story, though, and the developer works to make this spooky seaside tale approachable for everyone.

In There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, you play as Chris David, a character who has inherited The Grand, a dilapidated hotel located along the English coast. Chris is initially only tasked with restoration of the hotel, but he is ultimately drawn into rooting out a deeper mystery that surrounds the town and the people who live there.

The Grand hotel

The first part of the demo showcased the game's unique hotel renovation mechanics, which uses a quirky set of talking power tools built into one handheld device. Robert C. MacBrushy is a Scottish AI assistant integrated into this tool, and he gives a bit of humorous commentary to keep you company as you renovate the hotel. This sounds like it will come in handy to balance the tense elements of the game, as There Are No Ghosts at the Grand turns spooky at nighttime.

Nintendo has revealed the release date and price for the upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Kirby Air Riders. The sequel to the 2003 GameCube hit Kirby Air Ride warps onto Nintendo's new console November 20. Kirby Air Riders is available to preorder for $70 in physical and digital formats.

No bonuses have been announced for Kirby Air Riders, but if any become available, they will likely be retailer-exclusive collectibles similar to the goodies being offered for preordering Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Kirby Air Riders costs $10 less than the soon-to-be-released Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Like all Nintendo-published games for Switch 2 (so far), Kirby Air Riders is a true physical edition with the full game file on the card.

Marvel Rivals Season 3 Introduces Resource Rumble Mode And The Throne Of Knull Map

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 06:42

Marvel Rivals Season 3 has already added Jean Grey aka Phoenix and Blade to the lineup, but The Abyss Awakens is far from over. Later this month, NetEase is debuting a new game mode and a new map that brings Season 3's enemy, Knull, to the forefront.

The new map is located on Klyntar, the planet of the Symbiotes, and it's called Throne of Knull. It's connected to the Venom Spire that runs through the core of the planet and features Knull himself still trapped in his throne. But perhaps not for long, as he absorbs Phoenix's flames in the first video of the map.

Throne of Knull will also be one of the settings for the game's new mode, Resource Rumble. Starting on August 21, Resource Rumble will pit teams against one other as they attempt to gather enough resource points to claim victory. However, teams can steal victory from the jaws of defeat by robbing their rivals.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 -- See Wall-Running And Active Camo In Action, Plus Other Major Multiplayer Changes

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 06:16

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been revealed in greater detail as part of Gamescom, and one of the key changes to the Omnimovement system is the addition of wall-jumping.

As you can see in the video below, wall-jumping allows the player to zip across the map in a way that may feel familiar to longtime fans of Call of Duty since some older games also had wall-running. Some are comparing this to some of the exosuit-powered abilities from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and indeed, it does look like the wall-jumping will provide for new ways to get the drop on enemies.

FIRST LOOK: NEXT LEVEL OMNIMOVEMENT
Omnimovement is more dynamic than ever, with enhanced movement tuning and the addition of Wall Jumps for fluid traversal.

The addition of wall-jumping is just one of many changes to the multiplayer formula in Black Ops 7 that Dexerto outlined. GameSpot also got to see and play the game already.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Is Coming In 2026 With Gory Zombie-Killing And Vehicular Mayhem

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 06:14

It's been just over two years since gamers had their first glimpse of Toxic Commando, a FPS created by the master of horror, John Carpenter. However, a new trailer for the horror shooter debuted during Opening Night Live at Gamescom, along with an early 2026 release window.

Focus Entertainment is developing Toxic Commando, which takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting where an eldritch horror called the Sludge God has come to Earth and transformed most of the human population into zombie-like creatures. The game focuses on a team of well-armed mercs who are making their way across the country to finish their mission.

Toxic Commando is meant to invoke the over-the-top humor and horror from Carpenter's '80s films, as well as buddy action movies. Players can team up in squads of up to four players, as they choose their characters, class, vehicles, and an arsenal of weapons. The game also supports cross-play across PC and consoles.

WoW: Midnight Opening Cinematic Once Again Puts The Sunwell Under Siege

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 06:13

Blizzard revealed the opening cinematic for World of Warcraft's next expansion, Midnight, as part of Gamescom Opening Night Live, setting the stakes for the second chapter in the game's multi-expansion Worldsoul Saga and proving it ain't easy being a Blood Elf.

The cinematic depicts Xal'atath, the current big bad of the Warcraft universe, commencing a full-scale invasion of the Blood Elf homeland Quel'Thalas. Blood Elf leaders Lor'themar and Liadrin face off against Xal'atath and her shadowy Void beasts, but it soon becomes apparent that they can do little to stop this threat.

Xal'atath's objective seems to be the Sunwell, a potent font of magic power that has been the target of hostile forces multiple times in Warcraft history. First, Arthas and his Scourge army corrupted the Sunwell to create the lich Kel'thuzad back in 2002's Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, an event that led to the former High Elves changing their name to Blood Elves to begin with.

Resident Evil Requiem Trailer Explores The Backstory Of New Heroine Grace Ashcroft

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:56

Today during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Capcom debuted a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem, which gave a brief look at protagonist Grace Ashcroft's origin story--as well as a look at her mother, Alyssa Ashcroft, a journalist who appeared in Resident Evil Outbreak way back in 2003.

The trailer begins with Grace and Alyssa in a hotel room, where Grace receives a phone call; the man on the phone asks for her, then immediately hangs up. Suddenly, the lights of the entire hotel go out, and things spiral from there.

Eventually, the two women find the hotel manager, who begins to apologize for the power outage and says he'll fix it immediately. Suddenly, the man is attacked by a hooded figure--who also happens to have pale white skin resembling the undead or the zealots of Resident Evil 4--with a plastic bag, sending the Ashfords running for their lives. Grace walks ahead of her mother, and when she turns to say something, she screams ... and the trailer ends.

World Of Tanks: Heat Is A Hero Shooter Where The Heroes Have Customizable Tanks

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:52

As part of Gamescom Opening Night Live, Wargaming announced World of Tanks: Heat, a new 10v10 hero shooter/tank combat hybrid game that looks to mix the best of Overwatch with the best of World of Tanks.

Players will also be able to customize their tanks with "advanced weapons systems, armor modules, visual mods, and battlefield-altering abilities," according to the official announcement.

This new take on World of Tanks will be the first game in Wargaming's history to launch simultaneously across multiple platforms. As such, it will also offer cross-play and cross-progression on each platform, which will allow players to join matches on console and PC seamlessly on one account.

Ghost Of Yotei Is Getting Free Multiplayer DLC Next Year

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:50

The fall release of Ghost of Yotei is quickly approaching, and Gamescom Opening Night Live included a new trailer, offering another glimpse of cinematics and gameplay from the new open-world samurai game from Sucker Punch Productions. While the footage itself didn't provide any new information, the end of the trailer confirmed that a huge feature from the game's predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, will return.

Ghost of Yotei is getting its own multiplayer Legends mode, which will take the game's mechanics and combat into a supernatural setting for co-op multiplayer missions. Legends will be free DLC for anyone who purchases the base game, which releases October 2--but Legends won't launch until sometime in 2026.

According to the PlayStation Blog, Ghost of Yotei Legends includes both two-player story missions and four-player survival matches. Like in Ghost of Tsushima Legends, players in Yotei Legends can choose between four classes. Tsushima Legends featured the classes of Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, and Assassin, though the PlayStation Blog post doesn't confirm if those same classes will return in Yotei Legends.

In World Of Warcraft: Midnight, What's Old Is New Again

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:47

World of Warcraft's Midnight expansion is coming early next year, and it's reimagining an often forgotten part of old Azeroth to look and feel brand new--the Blood Elf lands of Quel'thalas.

Blizzard threw back the veil on WoW's 11th expansion, the second in its three-expansion-long Worldsoul Saga trilogy, at Gamescom 2025. It revealed that two of the expansion's four new zones are actually old ones rebuilt from the ground up, with a reimagined Silvermoon City serving as the expansion's main hub. Blizzard also detailed other new features coming with Midnight, like a new opt-in open-world system called Prey, another playable Allied Race, a third Demon Hunter specialization, and the full arrival of player housing.

GameSpot spoke with a few different developers at Blizzard, including WoW senior game director Ion Hazzikostas, associate design director Maria Hamilton, and associate game director Paul Kubit, to learn more about Midnight, including how Blizzard approached revisiting older zones, what players can expect from Midnight's story, how the new Demon Hunter spec plays, and much more.

WoW Player Housing Will Launch With Patch 11.2.7, But Not In Full

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:47

Those who preorder World of Warcraft's upcoming Midnight expansion will get to start decorating their in-game homes early, but the entirety of the MMORPG's highly-anticipated housing system won't be arriving in full until Midnight launches next year.

In an interview with GameSpot prior to Midnight's full reveal as part of Gamescom Opening Night Live, WoW senior game director Ion Hazzikostas offered more details on when players can expect to get their hands on player housing, what the feature's early-access period will look like, and how things will work for those who don't preorder.

Thanks to a leak, we already knew those who preorder any version of Midnight will get early access to housing. As for when, a significant chunk of the player-housing system will be available as part of The War Within's 11.2.7 patch, the expansion's final update that will come before the pre-patch for Midnight. Hazzikostas didn't give an exact release date for the patch, but said it's expected to arrive toward the tail end of this year, with Midnight set to launch in early 2026.

WoW: Midnight Is Finally Making Transmog Much Cheaper And More Convenient

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 05:47

World of Warcraft's transmogrification system is finally getting a major facelift with its 2026 Midnight expansion, with one-time gold costs for outfits and the ability to automatically swap between looks based on certain situations.

As it is now, players in Blizzard's MMORPG use transmog to transform the appearance of individual items into different ones, allowing them to create and save different outfits. It costs varying amounts of gold each time an appearance is changed.

However, because the transmog is tied to the items themselves and not the item slot it goes in, getting a new piece of gear means having to frequently re-transmog gear. It's particularly noticeable at the beginning of an expansion or the start of a new season, when players are constantly getting new gear upgrades. Rather than spending the gold to transmog each item immediately, many players just wait, knowing they'll receive yet another item upgrade in a few hours or days that will require more gold to transmog. In the meantime, they are wearing an eclectic combination of different visual styles that do not go together at all, instead of the finely customized outfits whose appearances required spending hours grinding old raids and dungeons.
