Vampire Survivors studio Poncle is getting into game publishing, and its first such game is Berserk or Die. Nao Shibata, a solo developer from Japan who makes games under the name Nao Games, revealed the project--an action game with a unique control scheme--is out now.

As revealed during the PC Gaming Show, Berserk or Die uses a keyboard and mouse as a controller--but not in the traditional sense. Players will smack the left and right sides of their keyboard in order to move and attack in that direction--with attack power dependent on how many keys are pressed with each slap--while shaking the mouse will activate the player character's special ability. Accessibility options--including a controller-based control scheme--will also be available.

Berserk or Die

When not in battle, players will shop at nighttime peddlers in order to heal and restore magic, and they can also visit the training grounds to learn new abilities for the next fight. Berserk or Die will feature unique pixel art from Nao Games and music from Vampire Survivors composer Filippo Vicarelli.

Activision announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 during the Xbox Games Showcase, and the reveal trailer could also be hinting at Warzone's next big map for battle royale.

Near the end of the Black Ops 7 reveal trailer, there is a scene of four soldiers dropping down onto a map, which looks very much like a squad diving into a Warzone match together. The map in question also looks similar to the rumored Avalon map found in Black Ops 6's spectator mode, with both featuring a cluster of islands connected by bridges. This specific scene was saved for the end of the trailer and shown alongside a brief tease of Treyarch's Zombies mode for Black Ops 7, so it is possible Activision is teasing Avalon for Warzone.

However, fans shouldn't get their hopes up too soon. Black Ops 7 is revealed to be a co-op campaign, so it is possible the scene in question is just a section of the campaign used to show off four-player co-op. Additionally, known Call of Duty insider "The Ghost of Hope" claims the Avalon map was scrapped for battle royale and would be used for campaign and Outbreak Zombies mode for Black Ops 7.

After releasing to critical acclaim back in 2023, Planet of Lana is getting a sequel. Revealed as a part of the June Xbox Games Showcase, Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf will pick up where the first game left off, and follows Lana and Mui as they embark on an even greater adventure across the enchanting world of Novo.

After saving their home from a robot outbreak in the first game, Planet of Lana 2 sees Lana and her companion Mui take a deep dive into the history of Novo in an effort to uncover its mysterious past. What ensues is an adventure featuring a "deeper, longer story," more challenging puzzles, and a touching story about the duo's "unbreakable bond."

Though Planet of Lana 2 will still retain the series' signature side-scrolling gameplay, it seems as though the overall experience will be more fast-paced this go around. According to its Steam page, Planet of Lana 2 will contain more challenging action sequences that make use of Lana's newly heightened agility. Whereas the first game focused largely on her puzzle-solving skills, Lana will now be able to wall jump and break into a slide while running to evade dangerous situations. Additionally, Planet of Lana 2 sees the series refine its stealth mechanics, making the entire adventure more tense and requiring a greater level of strategy.

For the better part of two decades, the Gears of War franchise has been exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC. This summer, that's going to change with Gears of War: Reloaded, the second remaster of the original game from 2006. A new trailer for Reloaded dropped during the Xbox Games Showcase, and it gives PlayStation 5 gamers a chance to see what they've been missing.

The game takes place on a colony world named Sera where humans are quickly becoming an endangered species thanks to the emergence of the Locust, a subterranean group that first struck 14 years earlier. Players assume the role of Marcus Fenix and his fellow Delta Squad troopers as they attempt to reverse humanity's fortunes in the war and reclaim Sera as their home.

According to Microsoft, the new remaster will support 4K-resolution 120fps support, and multiplayer. It will also have cross-play and cross-production on all platforms. Additionally, players who already own the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition can get Reloaded for free.

As the end of Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer teased the company's plans for 2026, which marks the 25th anniversary of Xbox.

Spencer said Gears of War: E-Day, the new Fable, and the next Forza game will launch in 2026. He also teased the "return of a classic that's been with us since the beginning."

Many are taking that to be a reference to the Halo franchise. Microsoft is working on multiple new Halo games, one of which could be a remaster of 2001's Halo: Combat Evolved. It was previously reported that a remaster of the first Halo game was in the works and might also come to PS5.

Persona 4 Revival was officially unveiled at the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2025 today, following several recent leaks. Like last year's Persona 3 Reloaded, this new version of Persona 4 is a brand-new edition of the classic 2008 RPG by Atlus.

The announcement teaser is light on information, aside from confirming that it takes place in the quiet countryside town of Inaba away from the bustling metropolis of the other entries, with a few shots of its high school classrooms and the town's streets, with just a few seconds of the protagonist running through them. It of course won't be too long before he gets headfirst into a strange mystery storyline, as he joins his friends to investigate seemingly unsolvable murders while harnessing the power of Personas to crack the case.

A remake of Persona 4 became the worst-kept secret in gaming, as prior to its announcement, voice actor Yuri Lowenthal confirmed that he would not be reprising his role as Yosuke Hanamura for the game. "For those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake," Lowenthal in a since-deleted post on BlueSky. "I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don’t want me to come back."

As part of the Xbox Games Showcase, Activision announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Didn't we just get a new Black Ops game in 2024? We did, and this will be the first time in franchise history that Activision is releasing Black Ops titles in consecutive years.

Black Ops 7 is being developed by Treyarch and Raven Software--the same lead co-developers as Black Ops 6--and takes place in the year 2035. That's more than 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6 and 10 years after the events of Black Ops 2.

Season 17 of Rare's online pirate title Sea of Thieves was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase, and it'll add a mischievous new faction to the game's sandbox called The Smuggler's League. The upcoming season, titled Smugglers' Tide, begins in August and includes new Voyages and some of the most powerful explosives in the game.

Judging from the trailer, The Smuggler's League is all about, well, smuggling loot, salvaging treasure and other goodies from sunken ships or stealing them from other players. Some of the new loot showcased in the trailer includes crates filled with golden bottles and black gunpowder barrels, which will most certainly explode if mishandled, but players can weaponize their explosive capabilities.

Watch the trailer below.

Keeper, the newest game from acclaimed adventure-game developers Double Fine and veteran designer Lee Petty, was revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase. As the name implies, the game involves a moving lighthouse--though whether you're playing and the lighthouse or a being managing it (a "keeper") isn't quite clear. A green bird appears frequently alongside the lighthouse, seeming to aid and guide the lighthouse as it travels through a variety of colorful environments including gemstone-adorned caves, treacherous cliffsides, ancient ruins, and a desolate plain. The bird also seems to be important for solving puzzles, as the trailer demonstrates.

We also get a brief look at some very large beings that could either be mechanical monstrosities or organic giants. How the lighthouse will deal with these obstacles, or if they're even threats at all, remains unclear. Keeper will release on Xbox Series X and PC on October 17, 2025.

Invincible is all about superheroes absolutely pummeling each other in ludicrous blood-soaked battles, and in 2026, you'll be able to join the fray in Invincible VS, a fighting game based on the comic series and its animated adaptation.

Skybound Games announced the title in the Xbox Games Showcase during Summer Game Fest 2025. You can check out the trailer below.

Invincible comes from writer Robert Kirkman, best known for The Walking Dead comic series, and like that story about survivors of a zombie apocalypse, it brings a similarly dark and dismal take to the superhero genre. The series focuses on Mark Grayson, a young superhero figuring out his place in the world as he struggles under the shadow of his father, Omni-Man--the world's most powerful hero. Things go south, however, when it becomes obvious that Omni-Man isn't quite the hero he appears to be, and Mark--as the superhero Invincible--chooses to stand against his father and the empire of superbeings he's a part of.

A pair of Final Fantasy games are coming to Xbox, and one of them is coming extremely soon. As announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is coming this winter. And the most recent numbered series entry, Final Fantasy XVI, is coming to Xbox today.

A brief trailer showed off both games back to back. An associated blog entry noted that every mainline, single-player Final Fantasy game is coming to Xbox platforms, so that will surely include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth as well. No release date has been given for that second part of the Remake trilogy.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the full version of Remake, including the Yuffie-centered DLC that leads the story right into Rebirth. Final Fantasy XVI, meanwhile, is its own story following Clive Rosfield as he navigates global politics in a world where kingdoms have access to massive destructive summoned creatures called Eikons as their ultimate power.

Announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, Spiritfarer developer Thunder Lotus Games revealed its latest title, At Fate's End. This is the studio's second game in development, with 33 Immortals releasing in early access earlier this year.

This story is developing.

Don't Nod announced its next game, Aphelion, at the Xbox Games Showcase.

As seen in the announcement trailer, Aphelion sees you play as Ariane, an astronaut lost on the newly discovered ninth planet in our solar system (sorry Pluto) named Persephone. She's searching for Thomas, a fellow astronaut who got separated from her at the start of the game. The duo are surveying the plant to see whether it's habitable after humans mucked up Earth.

In terms of gameplay, not much is shown in the trailer. Presumably, the game will have a focus on story and choices like past Don't Nod titles, but the trailer suggests platforming (and falling) will be a regular part of the experience as well. The ending of the trailer teases some sort of alien or otherworldly element, likely one that's dangerous to both Ariane and Thomas--the description beneath the trailer describes "shifting realities."

As part of the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft and Activision announced that a demo for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is launching today, June 8. The Foundry Demo, as it's called, is launching today for people who have preordered the game or do so now.

The demo is launching today on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, but the fine print did not mention Switch or Switch 2. In addition to announcing the demo, Activision released a new trailer for Pro Skater 3 + 4, which shows new gameplay footage--check it out below.

The Pro Skater 3 + 4 remake releases on July 11 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It's coming to Game Pass on day one, and will feature a mix of old and new skaters. The remake will totally rework the gameplay of the fourth entry to correspond to its classic two-minute-objective format rather than the open exploration that it pioneered for the series.

Mudang: Two Hearts, developed and published by EVR Studio, is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2026, as announced at the Xbox Games Showcase. Based on a webtoon titled Moodang, Mudang is set in a unified Korea sometime in the near future.

EVR Studio refers to Mudang: Two Hearts as "an immersive blend of tactical stealth, visceral combat, and cinematic storytelling set on a politically volatile Korean peninsula," on its official website.

The narrative follows the unification of North and South Korea as a treaty promises to end decades of division. Things aren't as they seem, though. A terrorist organization attacks the South Korean National Assembly on the day the bill was meant to pass, setting off a series of chaotic events across the peninsula.

InXile dropped a new Clockwork Revolution trailer during the Summer 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, and while it's mostly about the detailed weapon crafting, revolution against a crushing totalitarian regime, and strategic time manipulation, it's also got a doll named Duke Pophrey who swears a lot. He's got a reputation for generally being a rancid little guy, so much so that InXile introduces him as "the pissed-off doll," but you can periodically wind him up, so to speak, to get the benefit of his vast array of crude insults as well, because why not.

Clockwork Revolution still has no release date. InXile says it's coming "in due time," and the doll followed that up by telling everyone who had questions to "piss off."

Clockwork Revolution takes place in a steampunk, Victorian-ish city ruled by an elite whose fashion sense still calls the 18th century home, and they keep the masses in check by controlling time. Uprisings, even those with high-tech weapons modified by belligerent robots, are quickly quelled by the elite's ability to turn back time. Then, a rebel--you--gets hold of a device that can also change time, and a new war begins. You can change time during battles to reload your weapon, alter a bullet's trajectory, or erase a mistake entirely. That's in addition to a diverse set of gadgets you can use in combat and personal skills that augment your character's development.
