Befriend eccentric aliens, craft bizarre weaponry, and stick it to the man in this sequel to the award-winning open world crafting RPG Crashlands.

Snow Bros. 2 Special is a remake of ‘Snow Bros. 2’ released by TOAPLAN in 1994, and the IP license is currently managed by TATSUJIN, which inherited the legacy. It inherited the original's main story of rescuing a princess captured by the devil, and the character design and graphics of the four unique main characters were upgraded to suit a modern style. In addition, it supports 4-player multiplayer, which was not in the original, and is expected to provide a variety of fun by adding various modes such as original mode, survival mode, time attack mode, and sky run. In particular, the new content ‘Monster Challenge’ allows you to experience the unique pleasure of directly controlling the monsters that appear in the game to overcome the stages. In addition, the overall content volume is increased by adding new stages, boasting even higher quality.

Amazon has a fantastic deal on Anker's popular 737 Power Bank that's definitely worth checking out before it disappears. Normally $150, you can get Anker's 140W portable laptop charger for only $50.

Anker 737 Laptop Power Bank - 140W, 24,000mAh $50 (was $150)

This power bank should be of particular interest to those with a gaming laptop or a power-hungry portable PC. Most battery packs in the $50 price range can't keep up with the power drain when gaming on a laptop. With the Anker 737, you'll be able to extend your playtime while away from an outlet.

Even if you don't have a gaming laptop, this high-end battery pack is a great choice for Steam Deck, MacBooks, Nintendo Switch, smartphones, and tablets. Its 24,000mAh capacity can fully charge an iPhone 16 Pro four times.

Anker is one of the most trusted names in the portable charging space, and the 737 is one of the manufacturer's most popular models thanks to its premium feature set. The battery pack has a digital display to show key figures such as input/output, the battery life of the power bank itself, and a charging time estimate for the device that's plugged into the included 140W USB-C to USB-C cable. The cable supports 3.1 fast charging for compatible devices such as smartphones and select laptops.

Is there going to be a third The Last of Us game? Given the big success of the first two games and the HBO series, many are expecting more entries in the game series. But Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann says it would take something special for the studio to make a third game.

He told ComicBook that he's currently focused on the TV show--which was just renewed for a third season--along with the game he's directing, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. He's not ruling out a third The Last of Us game, but he's not confirming it either.

"Back at Naughty Dog, we're now working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is something we've been working on for many years. That is taking up all of our time," he said. "I am treating these projects like it's the last thing I will ever work on. So my assumption is that there will be no more. If the stars align, and everything comes into place, who knows?"

A small update has arrived to both Black Ops 6 And Warzone. One of the major highlights included in the patch notes is an adjustment for Call of Duty's frustratingly hard-to-see Terminator T-800 operator skin.

The Terminator T-800 operator's Endo Titanium Core skin is nerfed in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This specific operator skin can be very difficult to see in dark corners of the maps, and according to the patch notes, the skin received a "visibility adjustment to ease target identification."

A post from CharlieIntel shows a side-by-side comparison of the skin before and after the visual update, which players are already commenting on to express that the change wasn't drastic enough.

Ahead of the Season 2 premiere of HBO's The Last of Us, the network has announced The Last of Us Season 3. This was always expected, of course, as showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have long maintained that Season 2 will only tell part of the story of The Last of Us: Part II.

"We approached Season 2 with the goal of creating something we could be proud of. The end results have exceeded even our most ambitious goals, thanks to our continued collaboration with HBO and the impeccable work of our unparalleled cast and crew," Mazin said in a statement (via Variety).

Druckmann, for his part, said working on the TV show has been a "career highlight" for him. "I am grateful for the fans' enthusiastic and overwhelming support," Druckmann said.

A report recently emerged claiming to have new details on Titanfall 3, but there is more to the story.

Reporter Jeff Grubb of GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb said on GameBreaking News today that people might want to temper their expectations for a new Titanfall game. As we've known for some time, there is a "skunkworks" team inside Titanfall studio Respawn now working on a new project. And it is true that this team is tinkering with gameplay elements involving titans, Grubb said.

However, any such project that could theoretically emerge from this skunkworks unit would likely be years away, Grubb added. There is also a possibility that whatever is being made by this team doesn't make it to release. That would be normal part of the creative process, after all.

It was reported today that Nintendo will not release the Switch 2 in China on day one, but that should come as no surprise. A report from Nikkei said Nintendo is doing demand-checks first before deciding when or if it will launch the new console in China.

Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners said the delay isn't exactly a notable event because the Switch 2 was never going to launch in China on day one anyway "given the approvals needed."

"China will turn to the grey market to import consoles from overseas in June (Except from Japan maybe lol). Nintendo will explore options for an official launch in China," Ahmad said.

It seems like Sony has quietly rolled out animated PS5 backgrounds, but only a few select owners have received them.

Spotted by Twitter user chi-m02, it looks like some players are able to change the background to several new background animations featuring PlayStation's biggest franchises. 13 have been confirmed so far, which include:

• Astro Bot
• Days Gone
• Demon's Souls
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Ghost of Yotei
• God of War Ragnarok
• Horizon: Call of the Wild

It's also important to point out that these animated backgrounds are seemingly only for PS5's home page and not fully fledged themes like the 25th Anniversary classic ones. The demand for themes is high among PS5 owners, as many of them were upset when PlayStation revealed that the classic anniversary themes would be removed. However, PlayStation clarified that they would return at a later date.

Following US president Donald Trump's announcement of massive tariffs on major manufacturing hubs like China, Taiwan, and Vietnam--and dozens of other countries--Razer has removed its new Blade gaming laptops for sale in the US. While they were available to preorder, the landing page for these laptops only shows a "notify me" option.

Amazon and Best Buy have also pulled their pages for the new laptops, but if you really need one, Best Buy is offering refurbished Razer Blade laptops for now. It's not clear if these will be the only products that Razer no longer sells in the US for now or if they'll return. It's also likely that the prices on goods like this will rise as manufacturers aim to absord the cost of the new tariffs.

The laptop is available to preorder in other countries currently, but Razer has yet to officially comment on the tariffs (via The Verge). It's not the only tech giant dealing with the fallout from the Trump administration's "Liberation Day" announcement, as companies like Framework and Micron have also paused sales of some of its devices in the US for now.

The gaming world has been turned upside-down in recent days thanks to US president Donald Trump's tariffs on dozens of countries around the world. Nintendo was forced to delay preorders of the upcoming Switch 2 console in both the US and Canada, while Razer removed its entire line of gaming laptops from direct sale in the US. Now we can add "annual conventions" to the list, as the event director of one prominent fighting game tournament has weighed on how the event could be affected moving forward.

Rick "TheHadou" Thiher--who acts as both general manager of Evo and the event director for Combo Breaker in Illinois--took to BlueSky to comment on the tariffs, saying that "of all the ways [Combo Breaker] could bleed out over the years, mortally injured by tariffs is an absurd surprise." In response to a reply on that post, Thiher expanded on how these tariffs have wreaked havoc on the event.

Street Fighter 6

"The event has discussed at length that our sustainability is rooted in an annual merchandise line," Thiher said in the reply. "Merchandise coming in right now has 49%-104% markups. There’s no sales potential in shirts with an MSRP of $90 USD, so the line is likely burned expenses. Very bad reality to be in."

After launching in 2023 as a Switch exclusive, Disney Illusion Island is now coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on May 30. The port has been rebranded to Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends, and it now comes bundled with two previously released DLCs and a new DLC featuring Scrooge McDuck. Preorders are available now, and despite all the included DLC, it's available for $30--that's $10 cheaper than the base game launched for on Switch. That makes this an excellent time to dive in and explore everything this family-friendly metroidvania has to offer.

Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey and Friends Preorder BonusesDisney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends

Physical editions of the game come with an exclusive poster, though it’s only available while supplies last. This isn’t listed as a preorder bonus, but since inventory is limited, reserving a copy of the game is the best way to grab one before it disappears. The poster appears to be a universal bonus available at most retailers. We've verified it's bundled with purchases at Best Buy and GameStop, though double-check the listing if you're purchasing from other vendors.

Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends Standard Edition $30 | Releases May 30

This is the only version of the game up for preorder. Along with the base game and its three DLCs (Keeper Up, Mystery in Motion, and CASH featuring Scrooge McDuck), you’ll get the aforementioned poster while supplies last. Since this is $10 cheaper than the Switch version and it's loaded with DLC, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking to get started with the platformer. Physical copies of the game can be purchased at GameStop and Best Buy. PC players can also find it on Steam and GOG.

Expect more retailers to open preorders in the coming weeks.

Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at GameStop

If you’re a Switch owner yet to play the platformer, you’ll find it available for $40 at Amazon and Best Buy. That makes the upcoming edition on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC a much better option, as it’s cheaper yet bundled with additional goodies.
