Fear The Spotlight is vibey as hell from the outset, like plunging into a wormhole that sends you straight onto the set of the '90s cult horror classic The Craft.

     Stardew Valley and Spiritfarer collide in new hotel management sim

If running a hotel is hard, I can't imagine the day-to-day of an intergalactic bed and breakfast is much easier. There'll be more colorful characters, sure, but now you've got to cater to the alien needs of your guests on top of that 6am wake-up call. With clear Studio Ghibli, Stardew Valley, and Spiritfarer inspirations, the newly announced Hotel Galactic puts you in this exact position - so I hope you're good at poring over the books by oil lamp late at night.

A sci-fi shooter might not have been what you'd expect to see next from developer Variable State, but it's already looking rather impressive. The indie studio previously brought us the BAFTA-winning Virginia and compelling supernatural story game Last Stop. In a radical departure, the team's newest outing is Polaris, an explosive four-player PvE co-op game inspired by classics such as Syndicate Wars and Halo that's filled with dynamic, destructible environments.

We all have a plan for the zombie apocalypse, right?

Now transplant that plan to a zombie-overridden Texas in the summer of 1980. Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days is a moody, bleak, period zombie survival game, and a new Steam demo will help you put your stay-alive strategies to the test.

     Destiny 2 Salvation's Edge raid guide

How do you complete Destiny 2 Salvation's Edge raid? This tricky raid is stumping even the most experienced raiders. There's no shame in seeking a little helping hand, as the fastest cleared time in the World's First race was just shy of 19 hours due to the complexity of the mechanics.

Destiny 2 has long been famed for its raid races, which sees fireteams of six gather together to try to complete the raid on "day one" which recently became two days to encourage Guardians to stay healthy, get rest, and not stick to their desks for 24 hours straight. With the raid race taking so long, you may also struggle outside of contest mode, even if you've got the best Prismatic build around.

One of my favorite things about Fallout New Vegas, arguably the most open and freeform entry in the Bethesda and Obsidian RPG series, is the fact you play as somebody other than a Vault survivor. It seems minor, but as a character who has spent their life above ground rather than below it, the world of FNV feels different and more compelling. The wait for Fallout 5 may be long, but perhaps the most underrated game in the series, Fallout 76, is about to be transformed by an incredible new feature. Speaking exclusively to PCGamesN, Bethesda confirms that fans of Walton Goggins, Cooper Howard, and The Ghoul, will soon be able to live out their irradiated dreams.

Microsoft have released a new trailer for South Of Midnight, a third-person action adventure from Compulsion Games, who created dystopian Britpop survival game We Happy Few. I thought We Happy Few had some wonderful ideas and presentation - it's sort of Fable by way of Clockwork Orange and Bioshock - but found its mixture of pill-popping satire and survival game mechanisms self-defeating. South Of Midnight seems no less vivid, but a lot more assured in its God Of War-style action... and it's perhaps a bit less intriguing, as a consequence. Still, don't just sit there reading my opinions. Watch the trailer.

Microsoft and Playground's genuinely long-awaited Fable reboot will launch in 2025, and they've released a new trailer which... seems... good? And is also quite informative about the moment-to-moment of the game. The video is framed as the memoir of a paunchy retired champion, Humphry, who once mentored a young heroine I presume will be the game's main character, though it's ambiguous. She could also be the villain. Then again, Fable is a series in which you can be the villain. Egad, such shenanigans!

PC Gaming Show 2024

The cavalcade of June game showcases continued with the PC Gaming Show 2024 games, with the presentation hosted by Sean "Day9" Plott and Mica Burton. The showcase focused entirely on games available for the PC, though some are or will be available on other platforms too.

Some standouts include Southfield, a farming game that seems to be channeling a bit of the Totally Accurate series by adding wonky physics. We also saw a look at goofy, magical XCOM-like Tactical Breach Wizards and the anime-inspired rhythm adventure game UNBEATABLE.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Online Requirement

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will make it a requirement for players to be always online, even in campaign mode, and all past bans will apply to the new game as well. This came up after the June 2024 Xbox Games Showcase reveal

In a page detailing the features of various editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Activision confirmed the always online requirement. According to the site, the game will make use of texture streaming. The studio claims this will allow them to provide high quality visuals while reducing storage space on player hard drives. This will include the Campaign mode, meaning even single player content will require a connection. Activision has confirmed that the Campaign mode can be played without the need for an online subscription on console.

In addition, Activision also confirmed that all permanent bans will be carried over to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This restriction will apply for any bans issued in all games released since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from 2019. This will extend to Battle.net, as any banned player attempting to buy the game through the storefront will be unable to do so. They can buy the game through other storefronts but will be unable to access online modes due to their ban. The ban appears to not affect the ability to play the Campaign mode, despite the online requirement.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the latest game in the hugely successful FPS franchise. The latest game was revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase and has been confirmed to be a day one release on Xbox Game Pass.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will release on October 25, 2024 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC.

Which MultiVersus Character Is the Best

Now that MultiVersus launched and we've had a chance to get comfortable, it's time to talk about the characters we like the best. The game has its issues, for sure. But there's also some fun to be had if you can deal with quirks like finding lives up for sale that is apparently a "bug." Let's talk about our mains.

Sadly, I found MultiVersus to be Very Bad and dropped it after about a day of playing around with the beta. However, if I must pick a character I had some enjoyment out of, it's easily Bugs Bunny. I've always been a Looney Tunes nerd since I was a kid and that trickster god of a rabbit is my favorite cartoon character of all time. And despite the problems I had with the game overall, I did feel he was represented well. He had all the Acme props you'd expect plus a sneaky burrow move which you could mess with other players with. If the relaunch improves the game, he would be a strong candidate for a personal main. — Leigh

I also didn't stick with MultiVersus, so my opinion may not be the best for those looking for a character to pick. I really liked Wonder Woman! She's always been one of my favorite DC heroes and she's easy enough to get. She's a Tank type fighter, so it meant I didn't have to worry about being defeated too quickly before I figured things out. Plus I really found her Sword of Ares and Amazon Shout attacks. — Jenni

MultiVersus is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Gears of War: E-Day Is the Next Mainline Title in the Gears Series

During the Xbox Game Showcase 2024, Microsoft revealed the new mainline game in the Gears series, Gears of War: E-Day. The game will be a prequel to the first game and is set 14 years prior to the beginning of the series.

The new series will bring back protagonist duo Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago as they fight against the Locust Horde invasion during Emergence Day, in an origin story to the original trilogy. The reveal trailer showed no in-engine gameplay. Instead, it showed a CGI cutscene of a young Marcus Fenix fighting against a Locust Drone while being supported by Dom Santiago. The trailer also featured a piano cover of the iconic "Mad World" theme song.

You can check out the reveal trailer for Gears of War: E-Day here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC20gLfUHeA

Additionally, developers at The Coalition revealed that the announcement of this new origin story in the Gears series doesn't mean that this isn't the end of the storyline started in Gears 4 and Gears 5. Brand Director Nicole Fawcette said "We're not retreating from that storyline in any way. But in [this] moment, we had an opportunity to write our next step, and this one just felt too good to miss." 

Gears of War: E-Day is currently in development for the Xbox Series X. There is no announced release date or window for the game yet.

Fable 2025 Release

Microsoft shared a new Fable trailer and a release window at the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, four years after it was first announced at the same event. The game will now release in 2025, still on the previously announced PC and Xbox Series X platforms.

The trailer is narrated by Humphry, a retired hero of Fable's land of Albion. He mused about the nature of heroes and their defining choices, but more importantly talks of a young adventurer he brought into the guild that he came to fear. The trailer ended with someone announcing that same adventurer's ominous return. While it is unclear as to whether that adventurer in the trailer is meant to be a player stand-in, the description on the video stated that she "threatens Albion's very existence" suggesting she will be the antagonist instead.

The gameplay trailer showed that Metal Gear Solid Delta is a faithful recreation of the original game, with the original intro reworked in the new engine. We also got a look at various bits of gameplay, with Snake's CQC abilities shown off extensively. We also see Naked Snake hanging off a bridge, sneaking around in an alligator cap and hunting animals for food, which should all be familiar to players of the original game.

Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred Release Date Class

Back at Blizzcon 2023, the Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred expansion appeared, and now it has a release date. During the June 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, it returned with a new trailer and additional information about the next adventure coming on October 8, 2024.

The Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred Xbox Games Showcase trailer began with a closer look at Neyrelle and what she's going through. We see that she's been captured and is both tortured and taunted. After that, we get to hear Mephisto again. Once Neyrelle breaks free, we get a hint of what's to come during the story.

Here's the latest video:

Dragon Age Veilguard Release Date

The long awaited fourth Dragon Age game, recently renamed The Veilguard, finally has a release date window. We can expect the game to release in Fall 2024, according to the announcement trailer at the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase.

The trailer gives us an overview of what look to be our future party members, including the return of Scoutmaster Harding from Inquisition. Joining her will be Neve, the magically adept detective, Lucanis the mage-hunting assassin, and the veil-jumping Bellara. The rather dapper looking Emmrich will provide reinforcements in the form of summoned skeletons, while Davrin looks to be a Dalish Gray Warden who hunts Darkspawn alongside a Gryphon-like companion. Taash the Qunari (Or possibly Vashoth?) will provide some muscle against the titular dragons, which Harding promises will appear. Interestingly, the trailer ends with the presumed player character stand-in dropping an iron chandelier on foes, potentially indicating a new focus on environmental combat. Most importantly, however, is the return of fan-favorite character Varric from Dragon Age 2, though he looks to be an advisor rather than a party member.

You can watch the full trailer via Youtube below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F3N4Lxw4_Y

Veilguard was previously announced under the name Dragon Age: Dreadwolf back in 2022, with the game taking it's current name more recently. Also announced at the Xbox Showcase was Doom: The Dark Ages, featuring a more fantasy-styled adventure for the Doomslayer.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will launch for PC and Xbox Series X/S, with a release window of Fall, 2024.

Legendary Shards don't exist post-Final Shape, so I hope you spent your stash before the update dropped. Xur now has a fixed location for his weekly visits and will always appear in the Tower. You don't even need to hunt for him either, as his location is marked on the map like the other vendors. Screenshot: PC Invasion That said, Xur still likes to hide out of sight.
