Back when IO's James Bond adventure, 007 First Light, was first revealed, eagle-eyed watch enthusiasts immediately noticed the new Omega watch that this latest iteration of the MI6 spy was wearing. That watch wasn't real then but now, on the eve of the game's release, Omega has started selling the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light. And no, it's not cheap.

This iteration of the existing Seamaster Diver Chronograph mirrors the contemporary version quite closely, but adds some places of bronze to the dial to set it apart and tie it to the color palette of the game. The ring around the hour and minutes sub-dial, as well as the seconds hand, are now coated in nine-karat bronze gold, which makes it stand out a lot more than the regular, monochromatic version. You'll be able to see 007 First Light stamped on the sapphire crystal caseback, which showcases the watch's beautiful movement. This edition doesn't have a premium over the standard version, although given that this watch will still retail for $9,400, it's not something all fans of First Light are likely going to bundle with their game purchase.

It's also the first time Omega has released a Bond-specific watch that wasn't first seen in a Bond film. James Bond has worn Omega since GoldenEye in 1995, replacing Rolex as the spy's watch brand of choice. The last release came alongside Daniel Craig's last Bond film, No Time To Die, with the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition. Without a new film on the horizon, or a replacement for Daniel Craig, having a new edition tied to the re-launch of James Bond in the video game space makes sense.

That's especially so when you look at how many modern games have started collaborating closely with prestigious watch brands. Hamilton, which, like Omega, is owned by the Swiss watch giant Swatch, has released numerous watches to tie in with their appearances in games like Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, Resident Evil Requiem, and Call of Duty Black Ops 7.

Stealth-action is probably not the first thing you think of when you hear "Warhammer," but sometimes the most satisfying experiences are the most surprising. Announced during Warhammer Skulls 2026, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster is a 2D action-platformer starring a very talented--and disturbed--hooded assassin.

Starring the "ratman" Vihneek, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster will see you making use of stealth abilities and traps to move around your enemies or deliver death from the shadows. The cartoony art style might suggest something a bit lighter at first glance, but this is a very violent, very Warhammer experience. And as you can see in the teaser trailer, Vihneek might be losing it, just a little bit.

"Vihneek's story is anchored in the rich lore of the Age of Sigmar, where the Skaven have erupted to seize the Mortal Realms for themselves," the official announcement said. In general, killing everything in your path is a reliable strategy for Warhammer video games, and Vihneek seems up to the task.

Publisher Dotemu has plenty of experience with 2D action games, including last year's excellent Absolum and the recent Marvel Cosmic Invasion. We'll have a little while to wait before we find out if Deathmaster continues that successful trend, as the game arrives in 2027 for PC and consoles.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a fantastic, action-packed take on the sci-fi series, delivering a throwback boomer-shooter experience that feels like it was ripped out of the '90s. If you're looking to spend even more of your time destroying enemies of the Emperor, you'll be happy to know that a mobile spin-off--Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom--will be hitting mobile devices this year.

Announced during Warhammer Skulls 2026, Boltgun Boom is being developed by Nitro Games, and it's described as a "premium retro FPS featuring different chapters of the Boltgun series." The teaser video makes it look pretty much indistinguishable from its console and PC siblings, which shouldn't come as a huge surprise given the '90s-era aesthetic. You can pre-register on both iOS and Android as we approach the game's release later in 2026.

But that's not all Boltgun fans can get excited about. The demo for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is available right now on Steam, with the full game also coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. You can try out two levels in the demo, which features multiple playable characters this time: Malum Caedo, who plays similarly to the first game, and the more agile Nyra Veyrath.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom and Boltgun 2 both arrive in 2026.

It appears that a big reveal of gameplay features and visuals tied to the new Virtua Fighter game is imminent. Overnight, part of what looks like an online presentation was leaked on Chinese video-sharing platform Bilibili, where it quickly spread like wildfire across Reddit and fighting-game discord channels.

The footage, which features four characters showing off new and old fighting techniques, gives us a glimpse of the game's flashy visual presentation, which seems heavily inspired by recent games like Street Fighter 6. The fighting, however, remains true to Virtua Fighter's roots of martial-arts realism, depicting some brutal-looking strikes, kicks, and grapples. The already-revealed Wolf and Stella are present in the leaked footage, but there are two faces we haven't seen yet: a male character who seems to use a mix of Southeast Asian martial arts--with their name shown briefly as "Cielo" during a shot of the matchup screen--and what appears to be an older version of longtime Virtua Fighter favorite Pai Chan. The title is also shown in part of the screen as "Virtua Fighter Crossroads."

Producer Riichiro Yamada and another RGG studio staff member also speak briefly about the game as the footage plays--which Gematsu has translated for the curious--giving veracity to the leak. It's likely that we get a much bigger look at the upcoming game either during June's State of Play presentation, Summer Games Fest, or EVO 2026. While the leak is unfortunate, it does offer a tantalizing glimpse into a longer showcase of the game coming in the near future that will likely tell us more about game modes, controls, and the narrative element.

Developer IO Interactive announced the global launch times of 007 First Light, which tells the origin story of super spy and British cultural icon James Bond.

The third-person action game launches on Wednesday, May 27, but anyone who pre-orders the title will have 24 hours of early access, along with a Deluxe Edition upgrade that includes four outfits inspired by the Bond films and skins for weapons and gadgets.

GameSpot's preview of 007 First Light was quite positive, saying that the game "could end up being one of the best games of the year, and also the best James Bond game ever created." The game stars Patrick Gibson as a 26-year-old Bond and features actors Lennie James, Gemma Chan, and Lenny Kravitz.

File sizes for 007 First Light aren't known at this time, but PC specs for the game indicate that players need at least 80GB of storage space. The game is set for release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, but the Switch 2 version was delayed and will launch later in the summer.

The following dates and times apply to the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox releases of 007 First Light, while the Switch 2 release currently lacks a date. Read on below to see exactly what time 007 First Light goes live in your time zone.

Following a nearly five-year hiatus between titles, Forza Horizon 6 debuted this week. And while fans are diving into its open-world take on Japan, some have already discovered a sound effect in Forza Horizon 6 that may trigger anyone who has ever had to work in an office setting.

As noted by a player on social media, one of the car horn sounds in Forza Horizon 6 is the Microsoft Teams calling noise--a joke made possible by the fact that the Forza games are published by Microsoft. The sound effect was also in Forza Horizon 5, but it still inspires negative reactions from players who would rather forget about anything work-related when playing the game.

At the very least, Forza Horizon 6 has fixed one of the most annoying aspects of its predecessors. Players no longer have to painstakingly explore every section of a road to get credit towards exploring 100% of the map. Now, players can get the Trophy or Achievement simply by revealing the entire map.

Despite currently being in early access, Forza Horizon 6 set a franchise record for concurrent players on Steam with 172,093 players on its first day, May 15. Now that the game has officially launched on PC and Xbox Series X|S, it has already reached a new peak on Steam, with 273,148 players.

If you're a PlayStation 5 player, you're going to have to wait to join in on the fun. Forza Horizon 6 won't arrive on PS5 until later this year. In the meantime, they can check out GameSpot's Forza Horizon 6 review, which awarded the sequel an 8/10.
