Have you been waiting to hear any news of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond recently? Well, you might be in luck because the upcoming game has recently been given an age rating, suggesting that it may be getting a release date pretty soon.

As spotted by VGC, a listing for Metroid Prime 4 has gone up on South Korea's classification board where it is currently rated for "ages 12 and up" due to mild violence. The content of the listing itself doesn't reveal much else about the content of the game, but the filing does suggest that Metroid Prime 4 is indeed closing in on the finish line and could still stand to release later this year, where it's being pegged as a holiday release at the moment.

Additionally, VGC reports that the listing comes around the same time that it's been hearing of an imminent Nintendo Direct, where it is believed that a formal release date will finally be provided.

Just a day after release, publisher 505 Games has released a new update for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers that addresses several performance issues, fixes some bugs, and grants missing preorder bonuses. Alongside the fixes, all players will receive the game's original soundtrack DLC as a form of apology.

The patch notes detail the addition of a manual toggle for low latency mode, which is now no longer enabled by default, as well as VRAM optimization for lower-end GPUs. 505 Games says it has also fixed an issue where the game may crash immediately after the company logo during startup. It has also resolved a stuttering issue during finisher animations.

Players that preordered both the Standard and the Deluxe edition of the game will receive the correct content rewards after the patch update. If you're struggling to find the rewards, the publisher says you should log in again and claim them at the donation box located in Reverent Temple.

This week, The Fantastic Four: First Steps brings Marvel's first family of superheroes back to the big screen after a decade away. While the FF doesn't currently have a video game of their own, they are prominently featured in Marvel Rivals. And in the video below, the entire cast takes turns playing their respective characters in the game.

YouTube host Loserfruit put this gathering together when the cast was in Australia to promote First Steps. It seems safe to say that none of the FF cast are avid gamers, and Pedro Pascal noted that he never went past the original Nintendo console. But they all took their turns, starting with Ebon Moss-Bachrach playing the Thing, followed by Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, and Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch.

The cast had very amusing reactions to some of the alternate FF costumes, including the wedding attire for the team. They were also stunned by Invisible Woman's Malice skin, which Kirby jokingly suggested would be in the First Steps sequel. But if the cast thought that was shocking, someone should film their reactions when they see the actual Malice costume from the '80s.

Ubisoft has revealed an updated roadmap for Assassin's Creed Shadows, which includes a September 16 release date for the Claws of Awaji expansion. This new expansion will be free to anyone who preordered the game, and it can also be purchased separately if you missed the preorder window.

Claws of Awaji looks like it'll add a significant amount of content, as in addition to a new weapon class for Naoe to master, there'll also be more abilities to learn, gear to acquire, and enemies to encounter. Overall, Ubisoft estimates that the expansion will add another 10 hours of content to Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Other updates on the way include New Game Plus mode, which will be available starting July 29. Selecting this mode will reset your story and objective board progression, but you'll get to keep all of the skills, gear, and knowledge ranks you've earned, as well as your Hideout progression. You won't have to sit through tutorials on your playthrough, as you can fast-forward to the end of the prologue chapters.

While last month's Unseen Update was meant to be Hades 2's final patch before the 1.0 launch, it turns out Supergiant had one more up its sleeve. The latest patch is full of balance tweaks, improvements, and fixes--including a handful that have come from players' feedback. Here's what's changing.

For the most part, players are getting a boost in power with the new patch, with many of the game's weapons, boons, and other abilities seeing buffs to damage, range, or other properties. Some abilities are being made easier to use, while a number of enemies are also becoming less punishing.

Some of the game's boons are getting minor nerfs for balance reasons, while others are being fully replaced--the Poseidon x Hephaestus boon Seismic Hammer, Hera x Poseidon's Golden Rule, and Demeter X Hephaestus's Room Temperature have all been cut and replaced with brand-new boons.

While cost of living pressures are having an impact on the global entertainment industry, a new report suggest that things are only looking up for video games--which are already bringing in more money than the music and movie industry combined.

A report from analysts at the PwC network has predicted that video games will be a major source of growth for the broader entertainment and media industry in the next few years, with the firm calling gaming "an industry bright spot" in times of economic uncertainty.

The PwC report suggests that the games industry, which saw total revenues of $224 billion in 2024, could grow to nearly $300 billion by 2029. While other forms of digital entertainment are suffering, streaming media especially seeing reduced consumer spending amidst an overcrowded market, video games have proved more resistant to economic pressures.
