Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:40 PM Grand Champion! Did you think running off to space in a new universe—Bethesda's upcoming Starfield RPG—could save you from the Elder Scrolls' most annoying "Adoring Fan?" Nope! Sorry. He's in space, baby! |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:30 PM During the Starfield Direct at Summer Game Fest, executive producer Todd Howard interrupted the 437 hours of game footage to ask if anyone fancied buying one of these 'ere watches he had for sale. Surreptitiously opening his coat, while furtively looking around for cops, he said not to worry if the real gold straps… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:30 PM Remember when we thought that Starfield was going to be a $60 role-playing game that was going to come out in 2022? Good times. While we'll have to wait until September 6th to take to the stars, explore its 1,000 worlds, and listen to its 250,000 lines of dialogue, we now have a much better sense of what you'll… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:15 PM Alongside a new trailer at Xbox's Summer Game Fest showcase, a September 26 release date, and a closer look at Luther actor Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, CD Projekt Red also confirmed Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion will cost $29.99. An inaccurate $35 price leaked ahead of time, however, and the internet had… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:00 PM After spending an hour in Cyberpunk 2077's one and only expansion Phantom Liberty, it feels like the spy thriller side story is the actualization of a narrative everyone hasbeen touting in the years since the game's disastrous launch. Many, including Kotaku's own Luke Plunkett, have argued that no amount of technical… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:52 PM As has started becoming the norm for a lot of companies, Bethesda gave players a chance to get early access to Starfield by purchasing one of its more expensive editions. This includes the Constellation Edition, which will let you play Bethesda's sci-fi RPG five days before it launches on September 6. |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:43 PM The saga of the Starfield Xbox controller has been going on for months, but we now have our first official look at the sleek retro-sci-fi-style gamepad and its corresponding headset from the extended Starfield direct at Microsoft's Xbox showcase. They might just be my favorite-looking Xbox accessories yet. |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:35 PM It's not an all-out hardware refresh, but the Xbox Series X/S family is growing. Microsoft announced a new Carbon Black Xbox Series S with 1TB of SSD storage for $350. It arrives September 1, just in time for Starfield and the beginning of a steady stream of big new Game Pass releases. |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:35 PM Today, June 11, Xbox took the stage during Geoff Keighley's big, not-E3 Summer Game Fest 2023 extravaganza to show off the future of Xbox and Game Pass. Microsoft has struggled in recent years to release big hits and this year's Redfall flop didn't help right the ship. So today was a big deal for the company as it… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:59 PM Overwatch 2 has been in a bit of a bad spot after Blizzard recently announced it was gutting the game's promised PvE modes. But for those who were wondering about the story missions the company showed off when it revealed the game in 2019, they can rest somewhat easy: Overwatch story still exists, and we got a new… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:50 PM The quintessential role-playing game Persona 3 is getting a remake, and later sequel Persona 5 is getting another spin-off game, developer Atlus revealed at Xbox Games Showcase. Fans were already braced for this news—leakers predicted it earlier this week, and if that weren't enough, Atlus accidentally posted it on… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:35 PM As previously leaked, Payday 3 is coming out on September 21. News of this came during the Xbox Summer Game Fest showcase alongside a new trailer that coupled some cinematic elements with actual gameplay (a rarity at the Xbox show thus far). |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:35 PM Is Ubisoft making a massive new blockbuster that actually has a great story and interesting characters? Star Wars Outlaws certainly makes it look that way. The open-world sci-fi game from the publisher's Division 2 studio revealed itself to the world at Microsoft's Xbox Showcase, and it looks incredible so far. |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:15 PM Today, during Summer Game Fest 2023, we got a very brief look at the next big Fable game via newly released CG, featuring The IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade, plus a blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse of in-game footage. The latest reveal of this much-delayed upcoming RPG happened during today's Xbox and Bethesda Not-E3 video… |
Kotaku Sunday, June 11, 2023 11:00 AM When the original Max Payne was ported to consoles in late 2001, I couldn't get a copy fast enough. I wasn't a PC gamer at the time, and so for a while I could only enjoy Max Payne through the internet and TechTV at the time. I was transfixed by the graphics and luscious time-slowing bullet time gameplay on display.… |

PCGamesN Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:18 PM Picking the perfect PC controller isn't as easy as it once was, but the PowerA Moga XP-Ultra Wireless Controller is an attempt to solve a very modern problem. Back in the day, you might have two different gaming systems – usually a PC and a console. Microsoft made this one easy to solve, as the best Xbox controllers are cross-compatible with PCs. But what about a pad that also works with the cloud? Your phone? Your smart TV? The PowerA Moga XP-Ultra Wireless Controller promises to be the one best PC controller pad to rule them all. In theory, you can start playing on your console, go from the couch to the cloud by picking up on your phone, then get to someone else's house and resume playing on a PC or even a compatible smart TV. It's a controller built for all eventualities, then – something that is echoed by its modular design. The pad includes an attachable phone mount, turning your handset into a handheld, and it also features detachable grips, reducing the footprint for playing on the go or giving you an option if you prefer the size of old-school controllers.

PCGamesN Sunday, June 11, 2023 8:42 AM New concept art and details for long-known canceled Half-Life games have been revealed, as there have been many spin-offs in the Valve FPS game series that haven't seen a proper release over the last two decades.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:46 PM I do love me a game from The Chinese Room, and Still Wakes The Deep looks to be a right old trip. Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase at this year's not-E3, this first-person horror adventure casts you as a worker on an off-shore industrial oil rig and something seems to have slithered aboard from the depths. Check out the trailer below for some major chills. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:42 PM Don't Nod are really out here publishing games aren't they? They've already got their ghost-hunting RPG Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden on the go, and there's also the recently released Harmony: The Fall Of Reverie, and now they've announced dizzying climbing adventure Jusant. You can watch the trailer below, but if you're scared of heights then maybe give this one a miss. Hey, I'm just looking out for you. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:39 PM I love magical realist Southern Gothics. Kentucky Route Zero, Norco, and Where The Water Tastes Like Wine are some of my favourite games, so Compulsion Games' South Of Midnight immediately has my attention. Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase 2023 as part of not-E3, this new action-adventure looks like it's got major bite and you can check out the trailer below. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:34 PM Arguably the main event of this year's NotE3 and Summer Game Fest season, tonight's Xbox Games Showcase had more fresh game announcements than you can shake a Series X at. If you missed it or just want a handy recap of every new trailer that went down, we've got you covered. Here's everything that was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2023. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:33 PM 2017's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice did well critically and commercially, and it wasn't a huge surprise when Senua's Saga: Hellblade II was revealed three years back. It's been a little while since we heard more from it, but a cinematic trailer cropped up at tonight's Xbox Games Showcase, and wouldn't you know it, but we got a release window for 2024. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:25 PM Avowed was announced back in 2020 when a brief teaser trailer made it look like Obsidian's take on Skyrim. A gameplay trailer shown during this evening's Xbox Games Showcase did little to contradict that notion, aside from the non-snowy setting, I suppose, making it seem like Obsidian's take on Oblivion instead. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:18 PM When Clockwork Revolution's announcement trailer started playing in the Xbox Games Showcase today, I almost thought was a follow-up to BioShock Infinite. An opulent oversaturated city with a hanging railway, heaps of gadgets, a taunting antagonist, a protagonist with reality-altering powers, and a giant baddy with a gunarm? Surely BioShock? Nope! It's a new first-person steampunk RPG from InXile Entertainment, the makers of Torment: Tides Of Numenera. And two of its lead developers worked at Troila on their steampunk RPG, Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura. Come have a watch. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:00 PM I've spent around an hour with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the one and only expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 starring your boy Idris Elba. Yes, I saw him in the game, and yes, he fits in great. But what really struck me about the new DLC was how it had morphed the overall combat into a chunkier, more flavoursome affair. Whereas before your guns had about as much impact as the buzz of your phone in silent mode, they now feel like they've got some real weight behind each trigger pull. The new area of Dogtown is pretty sweet, too. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:54 PM It's probably quite difficult, after you've mapped more or less the entire planet, to work out what to add to a Microsoft Flight Simulator sequel. The answer turns out to be: jobs. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was revealed at tonight's Xbox Showcase and it'll include the ability to not only fly all sorts of aerial vehicles, but to fly them with purpose - whether an air ambulance, aerial firefighting, crop dusting, hot air ballooning, or about a dozen other roles. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:38 PM I'm a fan of Monkey Island, as many of you know, and so hearing the opening bars of the Monkey Island theme during the Xbox Games Showcase tonight was an instant little serotonin booster. Turns out Sea Of Thieves is finally doing the most obvious pirate crossover ever with a free three-part Tall Tale expansion called The Legend Of Monkey Island. Featuring many of your favourite Monkey Island characters (including Murray the demonic talking skull), the first part of The Legend Of Monkey Island will arrive on July 20th - and will be on Game Pass on day one. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:29 PM A new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty announces a release date of September 26th. It also gives a glimpse of what's waiting for V as she ventures into the brand new district of Dogtown to rescue the president. I hope so much for a gang of wild skateboarders. The trailer also introduces us to the new character played by Idris Elba (Stringer Bell in The Wire, Luther in Luther, Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2). |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:24 PM Cities: Skylines 2 was revealed a few months ago, but with only a CG trailer and not many details. Now there's a new in-game trailer and at least a vague sense of what the citybuilding sequel will do differently than its venerable, many DLC'd predecessor. Mainly: bigger cities, more simulated cities, prettier cities. It also brought news of a release date: October 24th. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:06 PM MMO raids can be some of the most satisfying experiences in multiplayer gaming, so it's a shame that they're so often one of the last things you gain access to after a whole lot of time and grinding. That makes me very interested in 33 Immortals, the newly announced next game from Jotun and Spiritfarer studio Thunder Lotus. It's a 33-player cooperative action roguelikelike which they say offers "ultra-fast runs through a streamlined distillation of the MMO raid experience," with "pick-up and raid" matchmaking. Huh! |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:46 PM At tonight's Xbox showcase, there was a first proper look at upcoming heist 'em up sequel Payday 3. To skip to the end: it looks a lot like past Paydays, inasmuch as it's a co-op first-person shooter that's less about clever breaking and entering and more about mowing down waves of cops. The trailer also came with a release date: September 21st. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:45 PM It is still weird that Microsoft started making a new Fable only a few short years after closing the studio which created the fantasy RPG series, Lionhead. But they are, a new trailer from NotE3 reminds us. The trailer doesn't show much of the Fable reboot being made by Forza Horizon studio Playground Games, but it does star a digtal Richard Ayoade, so I'm not complaining. He's nice, that Richard Ayoade. Come meet his digidouble in the new trailer. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Sunday, June 11, 2023 1:44 PM Tonight yet another Star Wars game was revealed, this time coming from Lucasfilm (but they all come from them, technically) and Ubisoft. Star Wars Outlaws is, being an Ubi game, an open world adventure where you play as Kay Vess - the Han-Solo-but-a-girl I reference in my headline - and Kay's best alien pal Nix "as they attempt one of the greatest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen." Outlaws was revealed tonight at the Xbox Games Showcase with a trailer that had an extended opening metaphor bit about gambling that was trite enough for me to assume it was a trailer for the Quantic Dream Star Wars game. BUT. I do like the look of Outlaws (currently slated for 2024). |

Siliconera Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:40 PM Following the official Persona 3 Reload announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, new voice actors for the remake revealed their roles.

The post New Persona 3 Reload Voice Actors Announced for Remake appeared first on Siliconera. |
Siliconera Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:16 PM A massive Starfield appeared at the end of the Xbox Games Showcase 2023. In an hour-long presentation, Bethesda Studios offered insight into the different gameplay systems within the highly anticipated RPG. In addition, Microsoft revealed a new story trailer for Starfield within the Xbox Games Showcase itself. Since Starfield is based heavily around space exploration, there's a huge emphasis on different planets and ships. Ships can be used not only to travel to different planets, but can also be used in dogfights and to board other ships, for piracy or more legal purposes. Planets will be split between procedurally generated wild planets and custom populated planets. There will be a vast cast of characters across multiple factions, including space cowboys, and the settlement of New Atlantis which is home to a group called Constellation. Bethesda claimed that New Atlantis is the biggest city they've ever built. Customisation will be a huge part of Starfield. Bethesda showed off that ships can be customised, outposts can be built on wild planets and weapons can be modded to suit your playstyle. As with other Bethesda games, there will also be character creation, with 40 presets available that can then be adjusted as you see fit. Combat will also play a huge part, and gravity will affect your abilities during fights. A new skill system will be based around skill points to unlock abilities, and special challenges to rank these abilities up. Naturally, these challenges will increase in difficulty as you progress up the ranks. The full presentation can be viewed here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMOPoAq5vIA Bethesda will also be releasing a special smart watch releasing as part of the Starfield Constellation Edition. It connects with your phone and comes in a special display case based on the cases used by the Apollo space missions. There will also be a Premuim Edition featuring early access to the first story expansion, Shattered Space, and a digital soundtrack and art book. In addition, Microsoft released a special limited edition controller and headset to tie in with Starfield. These are available today. Starfield will release on September 6, 2023 for the PC and Xbox Series X.

Siliconera Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:00 PM The Nintendo Switch Online game library for subscribers grew into a pretty stable "best of" collection. Lots of hits are there, and occasionally we even see a more niche title. We also hit the point where Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles are there to play as well. Since there's so much to go through we decided it'd be a great time to recommend some Nintendo Switch Online games we like best. Okay, so, my pick is a game that isn't a part of the US Nintendo Switch Online game library. I'm so glad Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is there. It's part of the Super Famicom app in the Japanese eShop, and it's wonderful that this title is so easily accessible via the service. The only thing better is if Nintendo would do with it what it did with Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. That is, localize and release it digitally… but hopefully not for a limited time this time. — Jenni In our age of wide emulation availability, the best part of Nintendo Switch Online's retro apps is its easy online play. Given that, the best NSO games are fun ones that are also tough or impractical to play otherwise! My pick: Mario Kart: Super Circuit, an underappreciated entry in the world's favorite franchise. It has the classic setup of the SNES original that just feels different from polygonal entries, and a ton of tracks to race. Most importantly, try as I might to change the whims of society, people just don't carry around GBAs and link cables anymore. So this is a great way to play it, and also basically the only way. On a similar note, don't sleep on Kirby and the Amazing Mirror when that already-announced GBA game finally gets added. — Graham I am tempted to say Phantasy Star IV, but since the game is also available through the SEGA Genesis Classics, my pick will go to a game that is available only through NSO: Wario Land 3. For a 23 year old portable game, Wario Land 3 sure feels modern and refreshing. The day and night cycle of each stage, all the different objectives, that game is a pure source of joy and dopamine. However, my answer will probably change (again,) once Nintendo drops Golden Sun and the two The Legend of Zelda Oracle games. — Daniel One of the great things about the NSO library is its ability to bring over a bunch of import games that never originally released overseas. Since I'm in the UK, I'm very familiar with missing out on a bunch of these older games! For me, the poster child for this is EarthBound. In the SNES days, all the way up to the Wii U, it was a mythical game that we only knew about through Smash Bros. Now you can casually find it in a retro library on the Switch. As it should be, because EarthBound is a brilliant RPG full of charm and humor that we deserved to have 20 years earlier. Plus, with the Wii U eShop gone, this is now the only official way to play it in Europe, making it even more essential. Now we just need Mother 3 added to the GBA library and all will be right with the world. — Leigh The post Which Nintendo Switch Online Games Do You Recommend? appeared first on Siliconera. |

Siliconera Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:07 PM A new game from Life is Strange developers Dontnod was revealed at the Xbox Showcase 2023. Named Jusant, it stars a young boy and his tiny animal friend traversing a mountain. According to a follow-up tweet from Dontnod themselves, it's designed to offer "meditative vibes". Here's the first trailer. Jusant appears to be a game heavily focused on exploration and climbing mechanics, with much of the trailer focused on the boy climbing cliff faces and ladders. There is also a brief glimpse of a plant growth mechanic, with the boy riding a growing stem up a wall. It also appears that the boy can interact with his animal friend when they're not climbing. Being a Dontnod game, it almost certainly has a narrative focus too. Jusant is set to release in fall 2023 for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Now during the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase, it was officially confirmed. The game will head to the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC in early 2024.

She's looking out over the water, then turns to look at the player. After that, we see Makoto running through the first floor of Gekkoukan High School. (Makoto is often a default name for the male protagonist in this entry.) It seems that footage is taken from early in the story, as he's heading to the faculty office. This seemed confirmed by the following segments, where we see him introduced to Junpei for the first time. There's also later a cooking segment with Yukari, and Makoto runs around Paulownia Mall. It also shows how a social link interaction with someone outside SEES looks, as Makoto eats with Kenji. The new shop UI is shown while visiting the Police Station for weapons. A little of Tartarus and the battle system appears as well.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:34 PM The gold standard of flight sim returns with Flight Simulator 2024. With an emphasis on what you as the player want to be, you should be pulled in very easily. Building on the popularity of the previous entry, Flight Simulator 2024 wants you to make a career in aviation. While this may seem like a far cry in real life, in a game that's as detailed as Flight Simulator 2024, this could be as close as you get. From the trailer, the game is taking the best of what the older entries had, and making it ten times better. Read on to find out how.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:05 PM Many players have eagerly anticipated developer Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, the sequel to 2017's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. This anticipation only makes sense, as the original Hellblade became a hit in large part due to its distinct, effective portrayal of mental health. But considering the sequel's initial announcement occurred all the way back in 2019, many likely feel especially eager to find out when it will finally come out. Fortunately, Ninja Theory treated fans to a new Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase that revealed a 2024 release window for the title. Additionally, we now know that Hellblade 2 will come to Game Pass on the day of its release. The trailer lasts a little over four minutes, so Hellblade fans have no shortage of new footage to enjoy. Having said that, the vast majority of that runtime consists of two cinematics, with a short portion of slow-walking gameplay partway through... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, June 11, 2023 3:01 PM Thunder Lotus Games, the indie developers of the acclaimed 2020 Management Simulator Spiritfarer, showed off their newest and biggest project to date at the Xbox Showcase: 33 Immortals, a combat centric co-op game… with thirty two other players. 33 Immortals: Fight your way out of Hell together The premise of the game puts the player as a damned soul. The soul rebels against God with 32 other damned souls, working together to fight their way out of damnation and face down God himself. It's a colorful premise, a far cry from the peaceful journey of Spiritfarer, even if both involve the afterlife. Set against the striking visual style Thunder Lotus Games has become known for, the trailer for 33 Immortals shows a very fast paced combat game with hordes of enemies on the screen to fight against. Meanwhile, all the fiery oranges and golds of Hell are contrasted against dark reds and blacks to make for a visually unique take on the well traveled setting, and the monster designs p... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, June 11, 2023 2:41 PM Payday has been a fan favorite for just over a decade. Its niche gameplay has reached players far and wide and for good measure. Being able to create a scenario alone, or with friends and executing it to perfection, is a feeling like no other. Now, this method of gameplay has expanded tenfold. It seems like Starbreeze Studios is reinventing the heist with the announcement of Payday 3. We got more than just gameplay, we got a release date. But before we get to that, let's break down the chaotic gameplay trailer. Based on impressions from the gameplay trailer, Payday 3 seems like it wants to make the heist something different. It looks like verticality and speed, add more creativity to the perfect crime. Generally speaking, it seems like you can experiment in many ways. Additionally, Payday 3 may be more accessible for newcomers. What makes a game great other than making its base wider? Payday 3 looks exactly like that, by making it easier to play and having less of a... |
