Silent Hill: Townfall Looks Part Resident Evil 7, Part Scary Myst In Release Date Trailer
A new trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall is providing a pretty good look at the next entry in Konami's survival-horror series, and alongside a release date, gave a sense that this new Silent Hill could help expand the series the way Resident Evil 7 did for Capcom's storied franchise.
Publisher Konami dropped a new trailer for Townfall during Sony's June State of Play livestream, which included a release date of September 24. The trailer includes a lot of gameplay from Townfall's first-person perspective, ranging from combat to stealth to puzzle-solving. Check it out below.
https://youtu.be/cm1Z1IFTtX4?si=2k0xiy7wPNZgDHkbIn the trailer, the first-person perspective is particularly reminiscent of Resident Evil 7, which reinvigorated that series with a similar perspective. Solving puzzles has also always been a big part of the Silent Hill experience, and Townfall doesn't look like it'll disappoint on that front, if the trailer is any indication. That side of the equation makes Townfall look similar to something like Myst.
For my part, anyway, the prospect of first-person Silent Hill with Myst-like puzzle gameplay is a phenomenal combination.
Silent Hill has had some big wins of late with Bloober Team's remake of Silent Hill 2 and Neobards Entertainment's Silent Hill f. With Silent Hill f in particular, Konami expanded what defines a Silent Hill game. From the trailer, Townfall looks poised to do the same, providing more kinds of horror experiences that still fit within the bounds of the Silent Hill series,.
Developed by Screen Burn and published by Annapurna Interactive, Silent Hill: Townfall is a set in 1996, and it follows Simon Ordell as he explores the Scottish town of St. Amelia. Under siege by strange monsters, Ordell will have to decide when to fight or when to run, and a handheld TV will help him stay one step ahead of his adversaries.
Enemies appear on its screen as blobs of static, and Ordell can also use the device to solve the mysteries of St. Amelia. If you're interested, Silent Hill: Townfall preorders are open, and the game is priced at a modest $50.
God Of War’s Cube Was The Star Of State Of Play
The rumors about a new God of War game proved to be true during Sony's latest State of Play event. That's why the reveal of God of War Laufey wasn't unexpected. What was a surprise was its cubic, talking, gelatin-like companion character, Phranque (as voiced by The Boys' Jack Quaid), is the character who turned out to be the breakout star of State of Play.
As seen in the video below, Quaid even provided the motion-capture performance for Phranque.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKMCqyeBWmU&t=102sOstensibly, the focus was supposed to be on Faye (Deborah Ann Woll), the late wife of Kratos and the mother of their son, Atreus. The game begins shortly after Faye's death in 2018's God of War, and she soon finds herself in Everwhen, the afterlife of the gods. However, this is no paradise and Pharanque and his talking ribbon companion, Rue (Perlina Lau), may be the only allies that Fay can depend upon.
While Rue is attached to Faye's new sword, Pharanque proved that he's willing to fight alongside Faye. It's unclear what the full extent of Pharanque's abilities entail, but he was formidable enough to take on a few of the on-screen enemies. And his engaging personality appears to be a hit with viewers so far.
"I hope by the end of this, everybody has feelings for some ribbons and a jellied cube," said God of War Laufey director Ariel Lawrence during an interview with IGN.
Sony Santa Monica Head of Creative Cory Barlog also noted that Phranque's presence in the game has been there since its early stages.
"To me it's one of the most important parts of it," said Barlog. "Strip away all of the fanciful and the design and the extra and what you have is this very simple cube, but you imbue inside of it an incredible struggle as well as an earnestness and a real personality."
God of War Laufey doesn't currently have a release date, but it will be available on PlayStation 5.
Until Dawn 2 Finds Horror In The Sun
In contrast to the snowy, mountainous landscape of the first game, Until Dawn 2 is set on a tropical island, but still involves a set of horny young people getting hacked and slashed. Just like the first game, it's a cinematic, choice-based horror game where your decisions affect who lives and dies. The game was announced at the June 2026 State of Play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpVZ9OvRLZIUntil Dawn 2 follows a crew of ghost hunters to Akishima Island, which is home to mountain trails, ancient archeological sites, and a former vacation spot that's been abandoned for decades. Though the ghost hunters have faked every encounter with the supernatural thus far, they will encounter evil forces on the island. The trailer only show what appears to be a masked killer, but as fans of the first game can expect, there are likely layers to how this horror story will unfold
As in the first game, every player character can live or die based on the choices of the player. They can treat their horrified teens as precious souls in need of protection or as slasher movie hacks best murdered. One such choice is showcased in the trailer. While running away from the aforementioned masked killer, a player can choose to push their companion Luke off a cliff or to jump alone. Pushing Luke seems to result in his death to the rocks below the cliff.
Until Dawn already got a spiritual sequel in the form of The Quarry, where players take the role of teenage camp counselors beset by mysterious beasts. This Until Dawn sequel is not developed by the original developers, Supermassive Games, which have also released many horror games as part of the Dark Pictures Anthology series. Instead, it is helmed by Firesprite, the team behind the Horizon VR game Call Of The Mountain and the survival-horror game The Persistence.
Whether Until Dawn 2 has any direct connection to the first game, or the film adaptation (besides the posthumous presence of Peter Stormare) is still unknown.
Bungie Fans Have Taken Over Sony’s State Of Play Broadcast To Demand Destiny 3
Hosting a Sony State of Play broadcast not even two weeks after announcing that the next Destiny 2 update will be its last was always going to attract attention from the soon-to-be alienated player base. However, it's the week of Summer Game Fest, so it's pretty unavoidable.
As early as three hours prior to the broadcast beginning, there were almost 6,000 viewers waiting in the chat, with comments ranging from "Save Destiny!" through to "We Want Destiny 3" already popping up.
As the broadcast started, the enthusiasm only ramped up, with floods of messages of support for the Destiny franchise coming in. To the PlayStation Twitch moderators' benefit, they tried to delete messages spamming the #WeWantDestiny3 hashtag, but to little avail.
During a State of Play that focused on Marvel's Wolverine, God of War Laufey, Control Resonant, and a whole host of other titles but certainly not Destiny, it was a bold statement from fans of the franchise who are desperately wondering what comes next for the space shooter.
Prior to the broadcast, content creators Aztecross and Luckyy10p created emotes to use on Twitch to show their support for the development of Destiny 3, speculating that the chat could become so overwhelmed with Destiny supporters that the moderators would change the chat mode so that only emotes could be posted.
That didn't happen though, and fans were free to yell their support loudly over other games' showcases (via their keyboards).
https://twitter.com/Crimsn_/status/2061922236982775927?s=20While content creators, developers, and even the game's voice actors have made statements of support for Destiny, it's the fans who have been the loudest in an attempt to get decision makers at Sony and Bungie to provide insight on the franchise's future.
It remains unclear what comes next for Destiny, although players are asking everyone to rally in the Tower in-game when the final update is released on June 9.
Wolverine Gameplay Trailer Reveals Jean Grey Team-Up And More Marvel Characters
During Sony's latest State of Play, Insomniac Games unleashed its latest preview for Marvel's Wolverine with gory Mortal Kombat-like violence. It also featured a closer look at some of the X-Men-related characters who will appear alongside Wolverine.
Jean GreyThe footage seemingly features the first meeting of Wolverine/Logan and Jean Grey, and the most striking thing is that they don't appear to know each other at all. Jean and Wolverine separately arrived to save a group of mutants from the cyborg mercenaries known as the Reavers, many of whom were featured in the 2017 film Logan.
Although Jean and Logan are unfamiliar with each other, they have a series of tandem attacks that utilize her telekinetic powers to hold or restrain their mutual foes until Wolverine can strike the killing blow. It's similar to the team-up attacks in Insomniac's Spider-Man games.
Note that Jean isn't wearing an X-Men uniform and she doesn't seem to have any backup beyond Logan. It suggests that the X-Men have either never formed or they haven't come together yet.
LeechThe most prominent hostage among the mutants is Leech, a young boy who lives among the Morlocks in the comics and in the original X-Men animated series. Leech's powers negate the abilities of other mutants around him.
CallistoIf the group that Leech is with are the Morlocks, then the woman in black leather may be their leader, Callisto. However, her identity isn't clarified in the trailer.
SkullbusterSkullbuster is one of the only prominent Reavers featured in the demo to get called out by name. He's not the leader of the group, but he's higher up in the food chain than the grunts that Wolverine brutally puts down.
OgunThis character appears to be Ogun, an evil ninja with a longstanding grudge against Wolverine. Not even death has prevented Ogun from striking back at his rival from beyond the grave.
Omega RedA Soviet relic from the Cold War, Omega Red has almost always been an adversary to Wolverine. It doesn't appear that they'll have much common ground in this game either.
MystiqueThere have been rare instances in the comics when Wolverine and the shapeshifter Mystique have been aligned, or even lovers. But she's not to be trusted under the best of circumstances.
SabretoothIt just wouldn't be a Wolverine game without his personal arch-nemesis, Sabretooth. And it looks like Marvel's Wolverine will deliver another showdown between Logan and his most-hated foe.
Marvel's Wolverine will hit PlayStation 5 on September 15.
GameStop Just Posted Its Highest Profit In History, Going Back Decades
Video game retailer GameStop has released its latest quarterly report, and it was a banner period for the company.
GameStop posted a quarterly profit of $389.6 million for its fiscal Q1, and that was the highest-ever quarterly profit in the company's history. This compares to a profit of $44.8 million for the same period last year.
Revenue surged as well, rising from $732.4 million during Q1 last year to $835.3 million this year. GameStop also continued to cut costs, with selling, general, and administrative costs falling from $228.1 million to $201.6 million.
GameStop's stock price is surging in after-hours trading, jumping by more than 7% and boosting GameStop's market cap by billions. It may settle back down tomorrow, however.
GameStop has made dramatic, deep cuts to return to profitability. This has included layoffs, store closures, selling off the Game Informer magazine, and other cost-cutting measures.
GameStop also announced that it now has $9.7 billion in assets on hand. That is a figure people will no doubt point to as GameStop continues to try to buy eBay for many multiples more than the amount of money it has. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen has said he's secured $20 billion in financing from TD and could look to get more funding from Middle-East sources to buy eBay.
For its part, eBay has flatly rejected GameStop's buyout proposal. Cohen has said he may go direct to eBay's shareholders and pursue a hostile takeover.
GameStop no longer conducts earnings calls, so we won't hear from Cohen or other management regarding the Q1 results or the latest in the eBay saga today.
In other GameStop news, the company is hosting a "1v1 Me Bro" Halo 3 tournament on June 6, and the top prize is a legendary console.

Control Resonant Trailer Drops A Release Date And Teases The Return Of Control’s Best Character
The reality of Manhattan is unraveling in Remedy Entertainment's Control Resonant, and we now have an idea of exactly when to expect the end of the world: September 24.
Remedy dropped the release date during Sony's June State of Play livestream, alongside a new trailer that gives some new looks at the game's story and hinted at some returning characters. The story remains cryptic, in true Remedy fashion. Check out the trailer for more.
https://youtu.be/TAzxTMaA6j4?si=N-IKw3P5i9WuWSfFThe trailer gives the first look at the return of Jesse Faden, protagonist of the first Control and sister to Resonant lead Dylan, so it seems the two parautilitarian siblings will have to work together to drive back the reality-bending threat at the heart of the game.
More important than that, though, is the fact the trailer teased the return of Dr. Casper Darling, the FBC's eccentric lead researcher and one of the best parts of the original Control. We last saw Darling in Alan Wake 2, where it was implied he had wound up in the Dark Place, the spooky dimension where art can manifest in reality, often with horrific consequences.
Remedy has been building a connected universe between its games for a while now. Control included a few nods to Alan Wake 2 before that game was announced, and the FBC had a big presence in Alan Wake 2's setting of Bright Falls, but neither of those games really advanced the plot of the other. But seeing Darling here, after where he was left in Alan Wake 2 (and who he was hanging out with), could suggest we're going to get some interesting new story beats advancing the narrative of Remedy's multi-game universe overall, in a way we haven't quite seen before.
In any event, hopefully Darling has another musical number.
God Of War Laufey For PS5 Revealed, And Its Co-Star Is A Cube Played By Jack Quaid
As rumored, today's State of Play broadcast included the official announcement of a new God of War game. This game does not star Kratos, however.
Faye is the lead character in the newly announced God of War game, which is in the works at Santa Monica Studio. It's called God of War Laufey, and it's in development for PlayStation 5. Faye died in a previous God of War game, but she goes to the afterlife of the Gods, and that's where the story picks up in the new game.
Deborah Ann Woll plays Faye, while Jack Quaid plays Phranque, and Perlina Lau portrays Rue. Phranque was a standout from the State of Play. He is a "curious cosmic cube with an earnest disposition."
"He will do whatever it takes to protect his friends and the creatures of the Everywhen," Sony said.
Rue, meanwhile, is described as an "enchanted ribbon guardian" who is trying to keep a powerful sword from falling into the wrong hands.
As for the combat--you can see it in action in the video below. It will look pretty familiar to fans of the recent God of War games. "Building upon the strengths of the modern God of War combat system while injecting some old school, classic DNA of the Greek era--Laufey will feel fresh, yet familiar to fans of the series," Sony said.
She has more mobility than Kratos, though, and can mix things up between ground and air combat. "Her increased mobility adds a ton of offensive and defensive tools to turn battles against even the fiercest gods to her favor," Sony explained.
Faye also wields a mighty sword and can use magic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLMX2w3cwuE"Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey (Faye), warrior and wife to Kratos, a new adventure is just beginning. Awakening unexpectedly in a strange land after her death, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus in her absence are now at risk," reads a line from the game's description.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szwYBVY7FsU&rco=1The description goes on: "To save the ones she loves, Faye must fight through the afterlife of the gods--the Everywhen--where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic. Harness Faye's speed, control, and relentlessness to overwhelm even the fiercest of foes with decisive, deadly precision."
Santa Monica is also working on a remake of the original God of War trilogy. A live-action TV adaptation is also in the works with Amazon Prime Video, with production on the series now underway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKMCqyeBWmU&rco=1A live-service God of War game was reportedly canceled in 2025..
Stuntman Series Returns Featuring Knight Rider, Back To The Future, And More
The PlayStation State of Play broadcast today included the announcement of a game no one saw coming.
Stuntman: Hollywood, the first new entry in the racing game series since 2007's Stuntman Ignition, is on the way for PlayStation 5. It looks like it retains the franchise's penchant for over-the-top action, and this time, it'll feature licensed content from popular Hollywood franchises like Back to the Future, Fast & Furious, Miami Vice, Death Race, and Knight Rider.
"Stuntman: Hollywood is built on the speed and control of an arcade racer, the spectacular chaos of crashes and destruction, and the precision a difficult stunt demands. And then comes that short, exact call: 'Cut!,'" reads a line from the game's description.
Burnout and Split/Second were cited as inspirations for Stuntman: Hollywood.
The game plays out through a narrative setup wherein a stunt performer is making a movie. "Each film is split into episodes, and each episode is a unique level with its own vehicle, and specific gameplay twists. From one episode to the next, the environment, pace, objectives, and scenes all change. Every film feels completely fresh," the developer said.
Players will drive cars, SUVs, and a school bus. Check out the first footage of Stuntman: Hollywood in the announcement trailer below. More details about the game can be found on the PlayStation Blog.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7NZpeAmdxkMarvel’s Wolverine Has The Classic Brown Suit–And There Will Be Plenty More
The brutal and bloody extended State of Play trailer for Marvel's Wolverine featured a look at Logan's classic brown suit from the comics. PlayStation Blog also shows off some skins that come with the Digital Deluxe Edition, which gives a lot of hope that Wolverine will get a large suite of costumes just like Spider-Man did in his Insomniac Games outing.
A montage at the end of the trailer showed glimpses of the brown-and-tan suit associated with John Byrne's run on the X-Men comics, and PlayStation Blog confirms that the suit is a preorder bonus.
Additionally, the Digital Deluxe Edition comes with the "Incredible," "Savage," "Age of Apocalypse," "Night Hunt," and "New Leather" skins. And there's a whole other layer of customization, with different types of claws for Wolverine. Some of those options are probably deep cuts (no pun intended) for longtime X-Men fans.
The presence of all of these cosmetics could be seen as a hint that the game will include a wide selection of fan-favorite looks for Wolverine. And there's certainly precedent for that, too, as Insomniac didn't hold back with suits referencing movies and comics through the decades for its three Spider-Man games.
Wolverine would have a lot to pull from, whether it be his grey X-Force suit, something based on his recent MCU appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, or even his black leather from the old X-Men films. Might we get Logan in a white tuxedo and eye patch?
There's plenty to take away from the latest preview of Marvel's Wolverine, but fans get weirdly invested in character skins. We'll see which threads you can choose from when the game launches on September 15.
Wolverine Gameplay Demo Violence Makes It Look Like Mortal Kombat
State of Play made its return today, and just as Sony promised, it kicked things off with a fresh--and brutal--look at Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac.
Game director Marcus Smith outlined the story, which centers on Wolverine attempting to save a group of kidnapped mutants from an extremist group called the Reavers. From there, we saw a lengthy chunk of gameplay as Wolverine infiltrated, and then eviscerated, a sprawling camp of bad guys.
After seeing Leech being loaded into a truck, Wolverine slices through a steel beam to create a chain reaction that brings down a shipping container on the villains, and then he's joined by Jean Grey, who helps hold the Reavers in place while Wolverine does what he does best. At what point she even telekinesis-throws a bad guy into his claws. It's pretty gnarly!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiBo_NgYI5QThe truck starts to get away, so Wolverine gives chase in a nearby motorcycle, using it to jump atop the moving caravan and leap from truck to truck, playing pin cushion with the baddies. Frankly the last one should just see what he did to their friends and give up, but they never do.
One notable element throughout the trailer is that the Reavers seem to be augmented with cybernetic parts. Many of them have prosthetic limbs and the big-bad leading the caravan has cyborg arms that can go hand-to-hand with Wolverine's claws.
The final sizzle reel teased lots of other characters like Omega Red, Mystique, Sabretooth, and Ogun.
An update on the PlayStation Blog noted that Logan can hit a higher tier level in his Rage meter than we saw in the demo, which creates a visual effect inspired by the Black, White, and Blood series of Marvel comics. It also noted that Wolverine will feature a large array of accessibility options.
As the new gameplay showed, Insomniac is aiming to deliver a mature and darker experience when compared to its work on the Spider-Man games. Wolverine isn't exactly known for treating his enemies with kid gloves, and this new footage highlighted how Marvel's famous mutant will hack and slash his way through the opposition.
At the same time, the developer has also teased that it'll be digging deep into the core of Logan and what makes him tick. Australian actor Liam McIntyre provides the voice and motion-capture acting of the character, and he said that his performance will reveal the "essence" of the character.
Marvel's Wolverine launches on September 15 for PS5.

Ahead of Summer Game Fest 2026, PlayStation hosted its latest State of Play to showcase what its first-party studios and select third-party developers have cooking up in 2026 and beyond for the PlayStation 5. The 60-minute event was filled to the brim with announcements of new games and updated looks at previously revealed titles--no love for Kena: Scars of Kosmora, however. What's going on with that game, PlayStation?
You can find all the biggest announcements below, as well as the trailers that were revealed during the showcase.
Marvel's Wolverine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5UuhXW32JIThe showcase kicked off with a new look at Marvel's Wolverine, the upcoming superhero action game from Insomniac. The new gameplay trailer detailed how the studio has evolved the combo- and counter-focused combat of its Marvel's Spider-Man series to be a lot faster and less "punchy," making for a gaming experience that looks a whole lot more violent than Peter Parker and Miles Morales' adventures. It's a fitting shift for the titular mutant.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFv6qneI4NsTo keep the Marvel hype going, the showcase next revealed a new gameplay trailer for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The trailer focused on notable Marvel villains, with gameplay for Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage as they fought against heroes like Storm and Spider-Man.
Rayman Legends Retold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkOiVHFsFcoUp next, we got an announcement and gameplay reveal for Rayman Legends Retold, an upcoming remake of Rayman Legends. The remake adopts a 3D art style and adds a brand-new villain, story, and levels. It's scheduled to launch on October 1.
Bancho The Chef https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJP_ZiDYfxYThe announcement and gameplay trailer for Bancho the Chef is a nice surprise. The game is a direct prequel to Dave the Diver, focusing on the titular Bancho, a cook who will go on to aid Dave in his game by cooking up what he catches during his dives. Bancho the Chef seems to explore the cooking process and running a restaurant through multiple minigames, capturing the hectic pressure of the lifestyle by testing you on precision and timing.
Kemuri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jREpyeeXgUIkumi Nakamura's next game was up next in the showcase. In Kemuri, you play as a demon hunter and unleash what look to be devastating melee combos in supernatural fights that take place across an entire cityscape. The game will support three-player co-op and is scheduled to come out in 2027.
Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju6fclafnCEThe new gameplay trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis offered our first look at Lara Croft's upcoming action-adventure. The game looks a whole lot like the reboot trilogy, but with a greater focus on Lara's over-the-top antics, sass, and physical attractiveness--major staples of the original games prior to the grittier, darker reboot. The game is sadly being delayed.
The Lost Wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlt4o-mLxyMUp next was The Lost Wild, an upcoming first-person stealth game that looks straight-up like something from the Jurassic Park universe. In it, you play as a woman who must carefully make her way through an abandoned nature reserve and the corresponding facilities as she does her best to elude the notice of dinosaurs and other forms of once-extinct prehistoric life.
Silent Hill Townfall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm1Z1IFTtX4This game looks like it was made specifically for the people who adored Firewatch but wanted it to double-down on its creepy factor, as the new gameplay and release date trailer focused on one man slowly making his way through a space while being tethered to other people through a hand radio. Obviously, however, with this being a Silent Hill game, things get way creepier and more violent than Firewatch.
Ace Combat 8: Wings Of Theve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2bgoQhlzqEIn an interesting shift, the next Ace Combat is putting you behind the eyes of the game's protagonist. Shifting away from a third-person view and adopting a first-person perspective for all gameplay both in and outside the cockpit, Ace Combat 8 looks to put a greater emphasis on the story of your pilot and those they fly with for a campaign that will hopefully feel more personal.
Stuntman Hollywood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7NZpeAmdxkFrom the sky to the pavement: the next trailer was an announcement for Stuntman Holiwood. The trailer focused on police chases, acrobatic stunts, and all-around mayhem, with even the time-traveling Delorean making an appearance. The game seems to be all about performing stunts in vehicles for Hollywood movies and helping directors get the perfect shot.
Ill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFHcVsPNbsYAnd the reward for the most violent video game trailer of the showcase goes to Ill. The reveal for this creepy game revealed we'll be playing as a man who awakes from a coma to find himself in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. And while you may think, "Oh that's just The Walking Dead--doesn't sound too bad," I'd urge you to watch the trailer. The apocalypse in Ill looks so, so much worse. This first-person shooter is set to launch in 2027.
Control Resonant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFmz2jV7ZkwThis was a bizarre trailer for an interesting-looking experience... which describes the world of Control very well. This sequel adopts a new protagonist, new gameplay, and a new setting, but still deals with weird stuff happening to people just trying to make it through the workday.
Marathon: Nightfall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyIEnxicey8Up next, we got a new gameplay trailer for Marathon which goes into what players can expect to experience in the upcoming season. The trailer was very creepy and dark, almost leaning into a horror-y vibe as it showcased the new zone and new shell.
Until Dawn 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtlJIEOueboIf you've played anything from Supermassive over the past decade, you know the drill of how these games go and look. And this one is the sequel to the game that started it all! This trailer is the very first look at the upcoming story-driven adventure Until Dawn 2, offering some early teases of how your bad choices will inevitably lead to characters' deaths and your good choices will only leave them traumatized.
God Of War: Laufey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upjpP54xDIcThe showcase concluded with almost 20 straight minutes of gameplay for the next God of War, which focuses on Kratos' second wife and Atreus' mom, Faye. As a giant, Faye is almost as strong as Kratos, and it shows in the new trailer. In the gameplay reveal, she wields a sword and a bit of giant magic, cutting through enemies with acrobatic ease and blasting them away with powerful spells. She... uh... also has a talking cube by her side. It's... um... odd.
Interestingly, Faye has awoken in the afterlife of the gods and so she's suddenly surrounded by a bunch of different gods from many different pantheons. This could also mean that we see some familiar faces in the game as Kratos' rampages and duels across both the Greek and Norse worlds have led to the deaths of numerous gods.
Nintendo Crocs Are Here, And They Look Incredible
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:
- Mario Classic Clog -- $80 USD
- Super Mario Classic Clog -- $70 USD
- Princess Peach Classic Platform Clog -- $85
- Yoshi Classic Clog -- $80
- Bowser Classic Clog -- $80
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
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
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.

Mina The Hollower Is Selling Much Faster Than Shovel Knight
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
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.

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
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.
