Infinitesimals Is A New Honey I Shrunk The Kids-Style Sci-Fi Action Game

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:44

New development team Cubit Studios revealed the first trailer for its debut game during Summer Game Fest 2025, a sci-fi action game called Infinitesimals.

Like Obsidian's Grounded, Infinitesimals follows a group of tiny people struggling to survive in a world that's much bigger than them, where even commonplace things like mushrooms pose a steep obstacle. Unlike Grounded, there's a lot more than just big bugs to deal with in Infinitesimals' world. The group of explorers you play as encounters an alien civilization with advanced robotics, and they don't all seem pleased to meet you.

In this next title, small-scale players traverse the oversized world around them, filled with local wildlife and hostile machines. Built by a small 8-person studio, this is Infinitesimals. @cubitstudios #SummerGameFest pic.twitter.com/g3UKEAljeM

— Summer Game Fest (@summergamefest) June 6, 2025

"Play as the leader of an elite alien squadron stranded on a mysterious planet after a catastrophic crash," the game's official description reads. "Barely the size of an insect, you must navigate an enormous world filled with towering terrain, local wildlife, and deadly machines. As you search for the missing members of your team and uncover the fate of the vanished colony you were meant to join, you’ll face the relentless threat of the Hunter Gatherers, the mechanical sentinels that dominate the landscape."

Space PVP Game Wildgate Is Getting An Open Beta Next Week

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:41

If Sea of Thieves was too wet for you, good news: Wildgate should take care of that. From Dreamhaven, the studio founded by Blizzard co-founder Michael Morhaime, Wildgate is a 20-player, five-ship PvP game that tasks you and your crew with retrieving "The Artifact."

Wildgate looks like it's going to be a fast-moving game. Players are jumping between ships, blowing up doors, fighting with ship-to-ship cannons, and even moving each others' ships around. The colors are bright and exciting, and we're eager to see what's coming from this game.

Here’s a new look at a new team shooter – twenty players across five ships venture into the most treacherous region of space, hoping to get their hands on The Artifact. This is Wildgate! @playwildgate #SummerGameFest pic.twitter.com/u3h5KKwRku

— Summer Game Fest (@summergamefest) June 6, 2025

We won't have to wait long, either, because an open beta for Wildgate starts on June 9 and goes through June 16 as part of Steam NextFest, and the game will launch on July 24 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Mecha Break's July Release Date Revealed At Summer Game Fest

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:40

The highly anticipated mecha online shooter, Mecha Break, finally got a release date. Revealed during the Summer Game Fest 2025 show, players will be able to go toe to giant mechanical toe on July 1. And considering all of the "wonderful" feedback fans gave during its global open beta, the game seems primed to deliver an action-packed experience.

Developed by Amazing Seasun Games, Mecha Break is set in an alternate future where various factions fight over Earth's sole energy source: a highly toxic mineral called Corite. Due to its volatile nature, Corite can only be handled by mechs. This forms the basis for the team-based battles in the game's main competitive mode. Potentially compelling story beats aside, players won't need a ton of motivation to jump into these large flying machines and wage war against each other across various battlefields next month.

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:27

The Summer Game Fest presentation introduced a new party game featuring Lego bricks, appropriately called Lego Party. The trailer showed a wide variety of party games, promising 60 in all, featuring a wide array of Lego brick styles from across the brickiverse.

Lego styles shown include Space, Pirates, and Ninjago, with settings and styles to match those through the various minigames.

In fact, given all the permutations, you could make more than 1 billion minifig configurations. You compete for Golden Bricks, and like any good party game, you can sabotage your opponents with traps.

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:16

Scott Pilgrim EX Is A Return To A Retro Co-Op Beat-'Em'-Up For Scott And His Pals

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:16

Today, during Summer Game Fest Live with Geoff Keighley, Tribute Games--the developers behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and the upcoming Marvel: Cosmic Invasion--announced its next project: Scott Pilgrim EX. It's the first Scott Pilgrim video game since Ubisoft's Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World in 2010, and one which many of Tribute Games's developers worked on.

Indonesian Beat-'Em-Up Acts Of Blood Gives Raid Vibes During Summer Game Fest

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:14

After almost a year of beta testing, Indonesian developer Fajrul FN dropped a new trailer for their new indie beat-'em-up Acts of Blood during Summer Game Fest 2025.

Set in a hazy southeast Asian dystopia, the game focuses on a young man attempting to avenge his dead father against a seemingly infinite number of hard-hitting criminals. Our hero, however, looks like he hits harder. The combat appears to be very much influenced by the recent slate of absolutely brutal Indonesian martial arts flicks, such as Gareth Evans' The Raid, or Timo Tjahjanto's The Night Comes For Us.

Gameplay-wise, though, Acts of Blood appears to be taking its cues from the free-flowing mechanics of Sloclap's Sifu, another unique take on beat-'em-ups pitting a lone fighter against a keen-to-kill swarm of enemies, except Acts of Blood's hero apparently isn't above laying waste to his enemies with the nearest baseball bat, crowbar, or shotgun.

Dying Light: The Beast Smashes Through The Zombie Horde In August

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 08:12

A release date for Dying Light: The Beast was officially revealed during Summer Game Fest 2025, and this new chapter in Techland's open-world zombie series will arrive on August 22 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The standalone adventure sees the return of Kyle Crane, Dying Light's original protagonist, and is set in the rural location of Castor Woods. After escaping from a decade in captivity and the horrific experiments performed on him by the Baron, Crane makes his way to the once-bustling tourist destination in search of vengeance and finds it overrun with zombies.

Like previous games, the infected people stalking the streets during the day will be the least of your worries, because once the sun sets, the worst of the zombie horde comes out to play. Fortunately, Crane has parkour skills and an off-road vehicle to help him outrun enemies, and when push comes to shove, the zombie DNA in his blood gives him an edge in combat.

Mafia: The Old Country Trailer Emphasizes Loyalty To "The Family"

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 07:58

Ahead of its launch in August, a new trailer for Mafia: The Old Country debuted at Summer Game Fest 2025. Teased earlier this week, the new look at the game showed off protagonist Enzo Favara in a spot of trouble as he braced himself for some violence at his door.

The trailer is titled "Loyalty is Everything," and it focuses on the importance of "family" (in the organized crime sense, of course) to Favara's fortunes. While centered on cinematics and storytelling, the trailer gives a sense of what it's like in Sicily in the early 20th century. The narrative overview we get suggests that Favara will have to navigate betrayal, retribution, and extortion in pursuit of wealth. It also emphasizes the extensive and brutal process of joining the Torrisi crime family, and how the connections between "family" members can go sour if trust is undermined.

Mafia: The Old Country is looking to be a budget-friendly dive back into the franchise, as developer Hangar 13 is aiming to deliver a "linear highly-polished narrative experience" that doesn't require significant time commitments. Because of this direction, the game is priced at $50 for its standard edition, but there is a $60 Deluxe Edition that bundles in bonus items, like special guns, outfits, and accessories.

Serenity Forge's Newest Game Looks Like "Doki Doki Literature Club Meets Silent Hill"

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 07:57

At the 2025 Summer Game Fest, Serenity Forge brought back the spirit of Doki Doki Literature Club in its upcoming psychological life sim, Fractured Blooms. Like the studio's popular visual novel, it features cozy themes like home-building and cooking that could be straight out of Stardew Valley, but turns into something more sinister with contorted footage and lots of blood.

You play as Angie, a girl participating in what seems like an innocent home-renovation project. She's actually stuck in a time loop with a dark end and forced to live through the same day over and over. In Fractured Blooms, you prioritize your most important tasks to make the most out of your loop while solving the mystery about your haunted home. That involves gardening, cooking, and other tasks that help fix up the house and take care of its inhabitants. Small differences appear in each cycle. You'll start to remember details, but so will the cycle, apparently.

Even Geoff Keighley wouldn't eat these tomatoes.

Right now, it's unclear if the story takes a turn for the worse. We only have the trailer to go on, which showcases a road of reddening grass, plumes of miasma, and who knows what as the vibe goes from cozy to gory. Fractured Blooms also features a personal story behind the madness, but Serenity Forge has yet to reveal the details behind Angie's life and friends.

Lies Of P: Overture Review - Puppet Prelude

Games Reviews - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 07:55

As the name implies, Lies of P: Overture is a prequel to the original 2023 souls-like, shedding light on the events that led to the Puppet Frenzy massacre and subsequent collapse of the city of Krat. At its beating, mechanical heart, however, Lies of P's first DLC expansion is a tale of personal tragedy and vengeance. While developer Neowiz hasn't implemented any drastic changes to the game's underlying mechanics in Overture, its storytelling has improved, further building on the atmospheric Belle Epoque-infused world it created as a much darker and more twisted spin on Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio. "Most unfortunately, in the lives of puppets, there is always a 'but' that spoils everything," is a popular quote attributed to the Italian author. In the case of Overture, this is fortunately not the case.

Rather than being a conventional prequel, Overture sees Geppetto's eponymous puppet travel back in time alongside his faithful companion, Gemini. You can access the DLC from Chapter 9 by heading to the Path of the Pilgrim stargazer, but it feels like post-game content in terms of difficulty, providing a sterner test than the base game's final act. After emerging in a snowy forest on the outskirts of Krat, you're challenged almost immediately by a giant, petrified polar bear with a torture cage wrapped around its head. There's no sort of onboarding process if you've been away for a while, but with a moveset combining charges, grab attacks, and rhythmic combos, this angry carnivore is perfect for relearning your parry and dodging skills on the fly.

After the initial confusion surrounding how you ended up in the past, you're eventually hot on the heels of the Legendary Stalker--a mysterious figure who acts as a guide through Krat's final days of grandeur. At roughly 15 hours in length, there's less time to dabble, so Overture's pacing is tight, with the story's circumstances providing a sense of urgency and momentum. There's still intrigue and mystery, but it never drags and remains compelling throughout, even if you could make the argument that too much of the narrative is told through optional notes. While these letters, personal musings, and final words are well-written, it's the evocative imagery that stands out--particularly the macabre exhibitions staged by the game's villain with the corpses he leaves behind.

Out of Words Is A Charming And Colorful Co-Op Stop-Motion Adventure

Game News - Sat, 06/07/2025 - 07:51

Epic Games Publishing announced Wiredfly and Kong Orange's Out of Words during Summer Game Fest, a co-op side-scrolling action-adventure game. The characters have lost their mouths--and the ability to speak--and must work together during their colorful journey as they engage with a variety of challenges. A distinguishing feature is that all of the characters and environments have been crafted and animated using traditional, physical stop-motion animation, with the trailer showing part of the creation process for characters.

The game is based on an original concept by Danish poet Morten Søndergaard. The two leads, Kurt and Karla, find themselves in the fantastical realm of Vokabulantis, where they must work together to overcome the various challenges in their way. While the two are described as "friends," there are hints that the game will see their relationship blossom in a more romantic way.

The game features both online and local co-op play. Despite the leads' wordless nature in-game, you'll need to communicate with your co-op partner in order to solve puzzles. Puzzles shown in the trailer include elements like shifting gravity and using a grappling device to traverse the side-scrolling landscapes.
