The studio behind Lego Builder's Journey debuted its next game at Summer Game Fest, and it's an adorable co-op adventure starring--you guessed it--a pair of little Lego bricks. The brief trailer showed a blooming friendship between blue and orange 1x1 bricks as they worked together to solve puzzling challenges.

The game is built around two-player co-op--locally, or you can invite your friends to play for free with a Friend's Pass. Like Builder's Journey, the narrative is delivered without words. The world looks entirely built out of bricks, so you can snap and join your way through obstacles together.

The art style looks very similar to Builder's Journey, with a similar isometric perspective through some segments. But the two also find themselves floating down-river, navigating highways and trains, and joining themselves with other bricks to carry them. They seem to be making their way towards a rocket through most of the trailer, which ends with them watching it take off.

At Summer Game Fest 2025, Bandai Namco revealed a teaser for Code Vein 2, a sequel to its 2019 action-RPG that many described as an anime Dark Souls. This sequel has an updated aesthetic while still retaining anime character designs.

While its predecessor was set in a post-apocalyptic future, this one seems to have a dark and gothic medieval fantasy setting (some Bloodborne vibes, perhaps). But the twist appears to be that it will also be crossing different timelines.

According to the official Code Vein 2 Twitter, you'll still be playing as Revenants--vampiric immortals from the previous game--and the description of being "bound by blood" would suggest that the two main characters pictured are siblings. There's also going to be plenty of more formidable boss fights, though judging by your character's transformations, powerful abilities, and also being able to get around on a motorcycle, this could also be a more action-packed sequel while being less influenced by Souls-likes.

Chrono Odyssey is an action-focused, open-world, multiplayer RPG with shades of Warframe. A new trailer dropped as part of Summer Game Fest, showing various players fighting eldritch monstrosities and ancient warriors. Players will be able to get their hands on the MMORPG later this month via a limited playtest on PC from June 20-22.

Chrono Odyssey was first announced back in 2020. The game gets its name from the protagonists' time-manipulation abilities and their travel into the past to combat an eldritch invading force called The Void. The trailer depicts player-characters freezing enemies in place, allowing them to attack them without interference. Players will also be able to rewind time, gaining combat advantages or exploring older versions of areas in the game's open world. Those are not the only powers available; the trailers shows characters slashing with lightning-infused attacks and floating in the air a la Breath of the Wild's hang-glider.

Six classes will be available to play at launch. The trailer shows off a few of them, showcasing characters wielding small double axes, a wizard's staff, and a bow. The combat appears fast-paced, taking cues from action RPGs like Soulframe and Elden Ring. But Chrono Odyssey isn't medieval fantasy, exactly. Some portions of the trailer depict dungeons that look like spaceships from Alien or the wasted ruins of a horror game like Scorn. One boss, or what appears to be one, shoots out writhing, bloody tentacles.

Dotemu's upcoming beat-'em-up, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, has revealed two popular comic book characters for its ever-growing roster. Fans will be able to play as Rocket Raccoon and She-Hulk, easily switching between the two as they shoot and smash their way through hordes of enemies. At least, that's the way it looks via a new trailer showcased during the Summer Game Fest 2025 show.

Joining the cast of 15 Marvel characters--alongside the likes of Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine, and Storm--She-Hulk and Raccoon will offer their own brand of beatdown when facing Annihilus' forces. And considering Dotemu's work on Streets of Rage 4, one can only image the creative combos players will be able to come up with when playing as these heroes.

Unfortunately, we didn't get a release date for Marvel Cosmic Invasion. We know that some of Marvel's best are going to wage war with Annihilus as he pulls strings from the Negative Zone. We just don't know when it's all going down. That said, it's apparent that when the "annihilation wave" hits the fan, players will have enough firepower (and in She-Hulk's case, muscle) to win when the game is released on Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC later this year.

Importing Switch saves to Nintendo Switch 2 is something you should automatically be able to do when you first set the system up. However, if you skip the transfer or don't have your original Switch with you, there is another way. It just takes a bit longer.

Our guide for how to transfer save data to Switch 2 explains each step of the process.

How to import save data during Switch 2 setupSave data is included in your system transfer.

If you transfer your user data from the original Switch during the initial Switch 2 system transfer process, it imports your saves automatically. Once you have access to the main menu, you'll see your game library all queued up for download. You can cancel the downloads and prioritize what gets added to the system first, but whenever a game with save data associated with it finishes downloading, it'll have the latest save data from your user account with it.

Dune: Awakening's official launch date is June 10, but if you're impatient to play the game, you can currently grab the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition to play early. Stats from Steam suggest that a lot of people can't wait for the full launch day and have taken that early access option: Well over 70,000 players are online in the game at the time of this writing, and concurrent players peaked at over 90,000 soon after the premium editions were made available.

According to SteamDB, Dune: Awakening is off to a remarkably hot start considering the premium charge that players currently must pay to get access. To put its player base into perspective, Dune: Awakening is currently sitting at 17th on the Steam concurrent player charts, sandwiched between chart mainstays War Thunder and Stardew Valley (Its 24-hour peak comes in at 15th on the charts).

It is quite unusual for games to do this well during windows of premium-only access, but Dune fans seem quite willing to shell out the extra money to access the multiplayer survival game. While the normal edition of the game costs $50, you need to pay $70 for the Deluxe Edition or $90 for the Ultimate Edition to jump in right now. In addition to getting access to the game in advance of its full release, purchases of the two premium editions also get a season pass to DLC and additional in-game items.

Seven building sets release August 1

See at Amazon See at Lego Store See at Best Buy See at Target

Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation returns for season two in 2026, but if you're looking to indulge in some high-seas adventures in the meantime, Lego will release a bunch of One Piece building sets on August 1. The collaboration was announced earlier this year, but the actual sets weren't revealed until June 5. There are seven Lego One Piece sets, including big displays based on the iconic Going Merry Pirate Ship and memorable locations like The Baratie Floating Restaurant, as well as buildable figures based on Luffy D. Monkey and Buggy the Clown. All of the Lego One Piece sets are available to preorder now on the Lego Store, though you can preorder a few of them at major retailers such as Amazon, Target, and Best Buy.

Lego One Piece Collection:

• The Going Merry Pirate Ship (1,376 pieces) -- $140
• The Baratie Floating Restaurant (3,402 pieces) -- $330
• Battle at Arlong Park (926 pieces) -- $80

• Windmill Village Hut (299 pieces) -- $30
• Monkey D. Luffy BrickHeadz Figure (136 pieces) -- $10
• Buggy the Clown BrickHeadz Figure (176 pieces) -- $10

While the collection is based on Netflix's live-action adaptation of the series, fans of the manga and anime will likely enjoy these new sets, too.

Ballerina Standard Editions

4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD

Preorder at Amazon

The world of John Wick has expanded with the theatrical release of Ballerina. This new spin-off, which hit theaters June 6, stars Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, a killer trained in deadly effective assassination techniques and hellbent on avenging the death of her father. Early reviews for the movie--which is set between John Wick 3 and 4--sound positive so far. And even though it just premiered, you can already preorder two different Limited Edition Steelbooks. Amazon and Walmart each have exclusive Steelbook Editions of Ballerina, and Amazon's is currently priced low compared to many recent 4K steelbooks.

You can check out both editions below, and if you want to pair your upcoming steelbook with similarly fancy versions of the mainline films, check out the Walmart-exclusive John Wick Chapters 1-3 Stash Book Collection for $50.

Ballerina Amazon-Exclusive Steelbook (4K, Blu-ray, Digital) $35

Amazon's Limited Edition Steelbook features de Armas on a neon-soaked cover that fits in very well with the general vibe and aesthetic of the John Wick movies. On the inside of the cover, there's a rave scene going on in the background and a stylized hammer that will probably be used for something brutal. It also comes with a slipcover featuring the same cover art, just with the title running across the bottom.

This 4K edition comes with a standard Blu-ray version of the film and a digital streaming code as well, and while special features have not yet been revealed, we are expecting to see several featurettes on how the bone-crunching action scenes were filmed, similar to the bonus materials included on John Wick Blu-ray releases.

Preorder at Amazon Ballerina Walmart-Exclusive Steelbook (4K, Blu-ray, Digital) $43

Walmart's exclusive Ballerina Steelbook also has cool cover art. This one has de Armas locked and loaded for combat on the cover, an antique Ballerina doll that has seen better days on the back, and a snapshot of an explosive scene from the film on the interior.

Just like with Amazon's, Walmart's Ballerina Steelbook includes 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray, and digital versions of the film. It also comes with a slipcover to protect the steelbook, but Walmart's is a clear plastic cover, whereas Amazon's appears to be a cardboard sleeve. Special features will almost certainly be the same across both limited-edition releases.

Preorder at Walmart Ballerina Standard Editions 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD

At the moment, it doesn't really make sense to opt for a standard edition, unless you despise steelbook cases for some reason.

That's because the standard edition 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD releases are pricey in comparison. We'd expect the 4K edition to eventually drop below Amazon's Steelbook, but keep in mind that the Steelbook could go up instead.

• 4K Blu-ray + Blu-ray + Digital -- $43
• Blu-ray + DVD + Digital - $40
• DVD - $30

Preorder at Amazon John Wick Blu-ray Deals

• John Wick: Chapters 1-4 Collection (Blu-ray) -- $30 ($45)
• John Wick: Chapters 1-3 Stash Book Collection (4K) -- $50 ($100)
  • Includes three steelbook cases and replica stash book.
• John Wick: Chapters 1-3 (4K) -- $29 ($45)
• John Wick: Chapters 1-3 (4K) + Playing Cards -- $41
• John Wick: Chapter 1 (4K) -- $15 ($23)
• John Wick: Chapter 2 (4K) -- $15 ($23)
• John Wick: Chapter 3 (4K) -- $13.40 ($23)
• John Wick: Chapter 4 (4K) -- $19.68 ($30)

Action movie fans can also grab the original quadrilogy of John Wick at a pretty great price right now, as there are bundle deals now on at Amazon and Walmart. The entire four-film collection starring Keanu Reeves is now $30 on Blu-ray (was $45), and each film in 4K is currently retailing for $15 on average.

Samantha Kelly, who has voiced Princess Peach and Toad in Nintendo games for nearly two decades, is seemingly no longer going to play those parts going forward. Kelly announced today, June 6, that Nintendo is recasting Peach and Todd with other actors.

In a post on Instagram, Kelly thanked fans for "so many years of friendship and joy." Kelly said she is "sad that it's over," adding that she would have liked to voice Peach and Toad for her entire life. She said she was informed of the decision on June 5, the day the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World launched.

"Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast these roles. I'm grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter who voices them. So much love," Kelly wrote.

From the moment you step foot on Arrakis in Dune: Awakening, you're worried about your hydration level. The meter on the far left side of your screen is as unforgiving as anything else in the MMO, and keeping your character hydrated is constantly a goal for the majority of the early game.

Unfortunately, your methods of staying hydrated are extremely limited at the start of Dune: Awakening. You have the dew plants, but those only allow you to gain one level of hydration. To fully fill up your hydration meter, you need to acquire copious amounts of water and, eventually, blood to ensure your character doesn't die out in the hot sands of Arrakis.

To see the best ways to get water and blood in Dune: Awakening, take a look at the guide below.

During the early stages of Dune: Awakening, you'll be tasked with acquiring a few basic resources that will serve as the foundation of your character's gear and base items. Some of these resources include Granite, Plant Fiber, and Salvaged Metal. You'll also be asked to add some Fuel Cells to your inventory, as those are what you use to power anything electronic in Dune: Awakening.

When it comes to Granite and Plant Fiber, you'll have no issues whatsoever finding either of those resources, as they're as abundant as the sand on Arrakis. However, Salvaged Metal and Fuel Cells take a little more searching to find. Below, you can see exactly how to get Salvaged Metal and Fuel Cells for all of your early game needs in Dune: Awakening.

Where to find Salvaged Metal in Dune: Awakening

Out of the two resources, Salvaged Metal is the easier one to find. One of your first missions in Dune: Awakening requires you to find 250 of the resource, though, which isn't so easy.

Call of Duty's Season 4 update has seemingly caused a problem with an operator skin for Frank Woods, and players will find the skin is currently unavailable to use in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

According to Treyarch's Trello board, the developer disabled the "Numbers" operator skin for Frank Woods on May 31, which is just days after the Season 4 update. Treyarch is investigating a bug that caused this operator skin to glow much brighter than intended.

The Numbers skin was part of the "Frank Woods Operator Pack," which was a preorder bonus given out to those who preordered the digital or Vault edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Numbers skin featured Woods surrounded by glowing red numbers, but it appears a bug from the recent update caused his entire body to have an intense glow.

The Switch 2 and its launch titles are available now, including Mario Kart World. Players have discovered that, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch, Mario Kart World has smart steering turned on by default. Smart steering is an auto-pilot function, of sorts, helping players literally stay on track.

It's a helpful feature for those who want it, but it's not for everyone. Thankfully, it's easy to toggle off. You can toggle it off by pressing X during the vehicle-selection screen, or it can be turned off from the pause menu mid-race.

Mario Kart World also has auto-accelerate, auto-use item, and tilt controls, but these are not toggled on by default. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe worked this way as well, so this is nothing new or surprising.

Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 and its initial wave of accessories have made it into fans' hands, players have been surprised to discover that Nintendo's GameCube controller for the Switch 2 supports gyro controls.

The new controller, available exclusively through Nintendo Switch Online and at select physical Nintendo stores, looks almost exactly like an original GameCube controller but features some key upgrades. The original c-stick doubles as the Switch 2's new C-button, which will open GameChat, and the internals have been re-arranged for a more responsive d-pad, according to a parts breakdown on Reddit.

The most surprising new addition is the gyroscope, which wasn't mentioned by Nintendo in the lead-up to the Switch 2's release. Surprised fans instead discovered the added functionality themselves upon unboxing the new controller--such as Japanese Splatoon content creator Sashibu, who posted to X about the new option to play Splatoon with a GameCube controller.

Dune: Awakening arrives June 10 for standard edition players, but for those with the deluxe edition, the game launched Thursday. Coinciding with the head-start release is some in-game loot that you can earn via Twitch Drops. The Twitch campaign runs until June 24, with three items up for grabs to help with your base defenses. To get these items, you will need to watch Twitch streams of Dune: Awakening, where the creator has drops enabled.

Dune: Awakening Twitch DropsDune: Awakening Twitch Rewards

As shown in the image above, the three rewards up for grabs are: observer foundation, observer floor, and the observer wall. Each of these requires that you watch eligible Twitch streams for a specific amount of time and can only be earned on one stream at a time.

• Observer Foundation - 30 minutes
• Observer Floor - 1 hour
• Observer Wall - 2 hours

You can check your eligibility for Twitch Drops by navigating to your profile icon on Twitch and selecting Drops and Rewards in the dropdown menu. Before you can start earning these drops for Dune: Awakening, you'll need your Twitch and Dune: Awakening accounts linked. If your account isn't already connected, there is a connect option in the Drops and Rewards screen, which will take you to the game's website where you can connect from there.

Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers are a handy way to get a neat little discount on select digital Switch games, giving Nintendo Switch Online members the option to purchase two games for just $100. Now that the Switch 2 is out, Nintendo has specified that these vouchers can't be redeemed for Switch 2 exclusives--though they can still be used on the new console for original Switch games.

In the Switch 2 eShop, the game-vouchers section includes a warning note saying, "Vouchers cannot be redeemed for Nintendo Switch 2 games." The web version of this page also specifies that vouchers are for the original Switch system (including Lite and OLED model) and "cannot be redeemed for games exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2."

The vouchers still can be used on the Switch 2, but they can only be used to purchase Switch 1 titles. In the case of games that have a paid Switch 2 enhanced edition, vouchers will presumably only purchase the Switch 1 edition of the game, which can then be upgraded with an additional fee. With most of the Switch 2 enhanced upgrades going for $10, you could still save yourself some money using game vouchers to purchase upgraded titles like Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild.

Black Myth: Wukong, one of 2024's best-selling games worldwide, is finally headed to Xbox after a year of exclusivity on PlayStation. The game is coming to Xbox Series X|S on August 20, with preorders opening on June 18.

The game originally released on PS5 and PC on August 20, 2024, meaning it's coming to Xbox Series X|S precisely one year later. This is fueling the theory that Sony did, in fact, have a one-year exclusivity deal with developer Game Science.

Some had claimed that technical issues with the Xbox Series S prompted a delay for the Xbox version, but Microsoft maintained this was not true (despite the fact that some titles have in the past run into issues with the lower-spec version of the newest Xbox).

Lego is launching two new sets based on some of the coolest Star Wars droid designs. First is the Battle Droid with STAP Speeder as seen in The Phantom Menace. The 1,088-piece set launches for $140 on July 1. Then, a few weeks later, a new 845-piece figure of one of the best characters from Rogue One and Andor, K-2SO, will launch on August 1 for $90.

Lego Star Wars: Battle Droid with STAP (1,088 pieces) $140 | Releases July 1

Battle Droids debuted in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and while they're cannon fodder for Jedi to cut down, these mass-produced troops have a memorable design. As mentioned above, this set lets you build a detailed Battle Droid figure riding a STAP (Single Trooper Aeriel Platform) speeder. The completed set features posable limbs and the speeder sports numerous screen-accurate details. The set also includes a display stand with an information plaque and a Battle Droid minifigure on a tiny STAP of its own.

Lego recently launched several other new Star Wars sets that are worth checking out if you want something to build while waiting for these new droid figures to launch later this summer. These include yet another new droid figure based on Chopper from Star Wars Rebels. There are also several new large-scale vehicle kits, including a 2,790-piece replica of Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Spaceship, Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle, and the Rebel U-Wing Starfighter. Lastly, you can build as this mid-sized Lego replica does a brilliant job in capturing the spirit of the chaos-loving machine.
