Goddess of Victory: Nikke--the sci-fi-RPG gallery shooter on mobile and PC from the developer of Stellar Blade--is adding one of the most famous heroines in video game history to its roster. As teased during Gamescom, the Goddess of Victory: Nikke × Resident Evil collaboration will feature Jill Valentine, one of the original RE game's main characters.

The initial teaser features a cult as it prepares to take part in a gruesome ritual. Poli--one of the characters from Goddess of Victory--is briefly seen when she is grabbed by someone with a bloodstained hand. The initial trailer hid Jill's debut, but developer Shift Up subsequently confirmed it was her.

Shift Up also hinted that Jill may not be the only RE character to appear during this crossover. Further details about the collaboration's story and launch date are being withheld for now. But this isn't the first time that Goddess of Victory has been given a prominent crossover. Previous collaborations have included characters from Evangelion and Nier: Automata. There was even a collaboration between Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory earlier this summer.

Look: Like many of you, I have suffered from Lego fatigue. No matter how much I might care about Avengers or Lord of the Rings or Indiana Jones or any of the other properties Lego has adapted over the years, there have been so many Lego games, each of them with so much to do. It was impossible to keep up or sustain my interest.

But Lego franchise games seem to have turned a corner now, as Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was a nicely refreshed take on the entire series, even as it retained the core Lego game collectathon loop. Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight looks to be an even greater departure, standing firmly on a love of Batman across all his media incarnations.

At first, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight looks to be an anthology of various Lego-ized Batman movies similar to Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but even that isn't quite right. It would be more accurate to call it a fusion of Batman movies, alongside other influences and stories, to build something new and original from all of its various parts. In that way, it's perfectly Lego.

Xbox's Design Head posted on LinkedIn about the current generation of Xbox wrapping up. That could mean a lot of things, so we can't read much into it. Given the timing though, it makes sense that Microsoft is thinking about what's next. Here's what was said, and what's happening with Microsoft's gaming division these days, to help us make sense of the situation.

"As we wrap up this journey with the Xbox Series X and Series S, the mission behind these consoles echoes everything I’ve learned over 30 years--to create technology that’s powerful, purposeful, and beautifully integrated into people’s lives,” wrote Carl Ledbetter, Partner Head of Design at Xbox.

"Xbox is about fun and playing games," he continued. "The console, the controller, the headset, all of the devices become a reflection of the people who make them, but more importantly, of the people who choose to purchase and use them. These products matter to people."

Eight months after releasing in early access, Path of Exile 2 is set to receive its biggest update yet, one that not only adds a heap of new content in the form of Act IV, three temporary acts, and even a seasonal league, but also brings big changes to how the game is played.

GameSpot had the chance to learn more about Path of Exile 2's huge 0.3.0 update, The Third Edict, ahead of its release on August 29 during a press Q&A, which included a one-on-one interview with the game's director, Jonathan Rogers.

In addition to learning more details about the update itself, which Rogers said takes "a good crack at solving every problem people are currently unhappy about," we discussed why developer Grinding Gear Games thinks including a league as part of the update is essential, how GGG is looking to avoid the pitfalls of the game's initially poorly received Dawn of the Hunt update, when players can expect a new class and the game to leave early access, and more.

Path of Exile 2 won't be leaving early access and launching in full this year, according to game director Jonathan Rogers.

In an interview with GameSpot ahead of the reveal of Path of Exile 2's huge The Third Edict update, which adds the ARPG's fourth campaign act, new temporary interlude acts, its first seasonal league, and more, Rogers said that despite his hopes earlier in the year, Path of Exile 2 won't fully release in 2025. That also means the game won't be going free-to-play anytime soon.

"I definitely don't believe that's possible anymore," Rogers said. "Things have taken a bit longer than we'd hoped. Ultimately, there's two things that need to happen before we can leave early access. One of them is that we obviously need to finish the campaign. I don't think that will take too much longer. But the other one is we have to get to the point of balance where everyone is actually happy with how things are. The general opinion needs to be that we've actually got it locked in. Obviously we can't go into full release until we've sorted that out. Once those two things are true, then we'll release."

A cursory Google search of the term "job simulator" would show the 2016 VR game Job Simulator as the top result. But it is not representative of the plethora of simulation games answering the question: Can a job be fun?

From Microsoft Flight Simulator to Overcooked, the workplace has been a subject by game developers for a long time. Yet in the last few years, there has been a considerable explosion in their exposure. Likely in part from marketing strategies using Tiktok or Twitch, it has become common to find content creators role-playing as cashiers or managers, further drawing intrigue as to how these non-traditional games have garnered such popularity.

PowerWash Simulator surprised many (myself included) when its zen-focused cleaning mechanics soared in sales and popularity. Lead designer Nick McCarthy told me via email, though, that while satisfying cleaning is central to the game's identity as a type of "anti-first person shooter," the team did consider adding business-focused elements.
