Game Pass Gets Another Day-One New Release With 5v5 Soccer Game Rematch This June

Game News - Fri, 04/11/2025 - 23:22

Game Pass Ultimate subscribers got some big news, as it was confirmed that both The Alters and Rematch are coming to the service at launch, both arriving in June.

The Alters, an ambitious survival game, hits Game Pass on June 13, with Sifu developer Sloclap's soccer game Rematch debuts on Game Pass on June 19. It's also coming to PS5 and PC.

Rematch separates itself from other soccer/football games in that players do not control an entire team but instead just one person on a five-person side. The game uses a third-person camera and is set 40 years into the future. There's no offsides or fouls, and the ball never goes out of play because matches take place inside a cage. Check out the trailer above to see the game in action.

Game News - Fri, 04/11/2025 - 23:21

Schedule 1, the Steam game about building a drug empire, has become a breakout hit since it launched a little over two weeks ago, and now it's getting its first major update. The content update adds new functional stores, decor items, cosmetic items, and more. You can see the full patch notes for update 0.3.4. below.

The update adds a full interior and store functionality to Bleuballs Boutique, and does the same for the Pawn Shop, where you can sell almost anything (except drugs) to Mick. As well as the new stores, the update adds wall decor, which includes signs, lamps, collectable paintings, and more.

The new update also adds liquor, with names like Ol' Man Jimmy's Whiskey, Chateau La Peepee, and Brut du Gloop. The developer notes that liquor is purely decorative for the time being, but it will become functional in a future update.

Great-Looking New FPS Void Breaker Just Started An Open Test On Steam

Game News - Fri, 04/11/2025 - 23:19

In 2022, solo developer Daniel Stubbington released the Portal-like puzzle game The Entropy Centre through his Stubby Games label. Now, Stubbington has announced that his next game, Void Breaker, is entering an open test right now. And judging from the announcement trailer below, this is one great-looking first-person shooter.

The trailer begins on an ominous note by mentioning that machines will only follow "the rules we set--until they learn to set their own." According to the game's description, the player characters are at the mercy of an "all-seeing, hostile AI" that forces them to fight and die in an endless cycle of death and rebirth. The one thing that the AI didn't count on is that the players' characters may be able to break that cycle with customized weapons and unforeseen tactics.

As demonstrated in the trailer, players can modify their weapons into engines of chaos and the entire environment can be brought down around them. Destruction isn't literally the name of the game, but it's definitely a big part of the gameplay experience.

Duskfade Looks Like The Jak And Daxter Spiritual Successor You've Been Waiting For

Game News - Fri, 04/11/2025 - 23:16

This week's Triple- Initiative covered a wide range of genres, but for anyone looking for a retro-inspired platformer, then Duskfade was likely the star of the show for them. Currently in development at Weird Beluga Studio, Duskfade is set in a world that has become enshrouded in an eternal night. As Zirian, a young workshop apprentice, players will set out to restore time itself in this "clockpunk" world, which the studio describes as a love letter to action-platformer classics of the past.

Weird Beluga says that the game is designed to be a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of 3D action-platformers, while also providing players with a deeply emotional story. "Our game takes inspiration from Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank, with movement that has been designed to feel agile and fast," lead programmer Tomás Manzano Sobrido explained on the PS Blog. "Flow is a core focus, and we want players to feel like Zirian is gliding through the world, chaining actions seamlessly and covering large distances without losing momentum."
