Casey in point. Turtles fans after something sweet for the shelf will want to keep an eye out for this one, as Super Evil Megacorp has today announced that the Hades-inspired roguelike Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is going physical. We'll start with the standard option. The Splintered Fate 'Deluxe Edition' packs in a boxed copy of the radical roguelike, reversible cover art, 10 collector's cards, the 'Casey Jones and the Junkyard Jam' DLC and one as-yet-unannounced upcoming DLC ...

Go on then, just one more run. When Astral Ascent arrived on Switch in 2023, we called it "Probably the best roguelike since Hades", and we weren't lying, it's awesome. Well, soon enough, the run-based action will be getting even awesome-er with its ver. 2.0 launch and the arrival of a new DLC pack, 'The Outer Reaches'. The additions are coming thick and fast thanks to this duo. The free ver. 2.0 update adds bonus rooms for build-enhancing perks and a new 'Imprint' magic system for even more spe...

Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

"I'm not like a huge chess guy, it's just always been something that I've wanted to be decent at."

Sabotage Studio has announced that the Sea of Stars Throes of the Watchmaker DLC will be launching in May, and as a reminder, it's totally free.

Sam Altman puts it in different terms, saying GPT-4o "glazes" too much.

The PC Gaming Show returns on June 8, 2025.

Devilishly good. Gun recoil (or kickback) has often been viewed as a negative in gaming; something that, through the application of unlockable perks, can be lessened or even eliminated entirely. Yet with Shotgun Cop Man, recoil is fundamental to both combat and traversal. Created by Swedish developer DeadToast Entertainment (Victor Ågren), Shotgun Cop Man is, quite simply, the studio’s most accomplished work so far. It’s a more back-to-basics affair compared to My Friend Pedro, but the resulting...

[Ed. note: Some slight spoilers for the set-up for The Eternaut follow.] It’s summer in Buenos Aires, and the tension in the air is thick. Protestors are engaging in a noisy cacerolazo on the streets after a series of issues with the power grid, and it’s a hot day in the thick of the season....

A new lobbying group formed by Meta, Spotify, and Match Group is challenging Apple and Google's role in the mobile app ecosystem, arguing the company should bear legal responsibility for verifying users' ages and accusing them of anti-competitive business practices that disadvantage developers, Bloomberg reports. The "Coalition for a Competitive Mobile Experience" is a coordinated effort by these major companies to influence federal and state legislation amid mounting pressure to implement digit...

This expansion is adding the first immersive...

If you love Warhammer 40k games, you’re pretty spoiled for choice these days. Games Workshop’s grimdark universe offers a lot of options, and now two of them are joining hands. Developers Fatshark and Owlcat Games are coming together for a collaboration between the vicious co-op FPS Darktide and Baldur’s Gate 3-adjacent CRPG Rogue Trader with some free DLC for both games, and you can get the pair at a discount thanks to a special Steam sale bundle.

If Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remains one of the most beloved games in the entire series, it’s partly because it was the last time that AC had a full multiplayer mode. 12 years later, and the competitive sneaking and stabbing that first began with Brotherhood is yet to make a return. But that could be about to change. As Ubisoft prepares to announce what’s next for its latest, Japan-set stealth RPG, hidden code strings suggest that Assassin’s Creed Shadows multiplayer could be a reality. Given ...

Nintendo’s big pre-Switch 2 update for the original Switch has arrived, bringing along shareable Virtual Game Cards, the ability to use GameShare with select games later on, and color swaps for some app icons. There are many other tweaks buried in the release notes, including one that could be a boon to those who are...

Recent layoffs at Respawn were part of a wider staff cut wave at EA, and one of the studio's canceled projects was Titanfall-related, per a new report.

Only the right weapon can take down these seemingly invincible creatures.

According to the company, the updated drivers improve the gaming performance on Intel Lunar Lake devices, boosting frame rates by up to 10% in some instances. If this turns out to be accurate, then this would undoubtedly be great news for gamers who are looking for the best handheld gaming PC running an Intel CPU, including those from...

Spotify is getting into gameplay — kind of — through a partnership with EA Sports. The music streaming platform has teamed up with the sports video game maker to give users integrated streaming access while playing EA Sports FC 25.  This partnership should allow players on the PS5 and Xbox Series X or S to access Spotify music, podcasts and audiobooks. The only catch? It's currently a pilot program and only available to users in Australia and Saudi Arabia. Oh and it's exclusive to Spotify Premiu...

Hopefully as efficient as some other RTX 50-series laptops we've seen.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has hit the gaming world by storm. This fantastical turn-based RPG racked up critical acclaim on its way to being one of the most highly-rated turn-based games in recent years. First impressions suggest an impressive graphical effort too, packing great art and ray tracing... but with the often heavy Unreal Engine 5 at its core, exactly how well does Expedition 33 stick the landing on current-gen consoles?

Hyper Light Breaker didn't have a great launch. Heart Machine’s early-access roguelike was released with undercooked gameplay and mechanics, leaving the Steam reception at a firm ‘mixed.’ Combine that with Breaker’s stark departure from the original Hyper Light Drifter, and players found it incredibly difficult to give Heart Machine’s newest game a chance. That’s hopefully about to change, however, as Breaker’s biggest update since launch is here, and it makes colossal improvements and game-chan...

From Fallout to Dishonored, there's some good stuff included in the latest Fanatical Build your own Bethesda Bundle.

Denise Gough, also currently appearing as Dedra Meero in Andor, seems baffled by a question about CD Project's upcoming sequel.

On the surface, Sea of Stars is an appeal to basic nostalgia, a kind of aesthetical victory lap for the likes of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound. But the longer you play it, the more it becomes a credible, modern RPG in its own right. Already one of the genre’s most beloved, while Monster Hunter Wilds, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and of course Oblivion Remastered occupy the charts, the new Sea of Stars DLC makes Sabotage’s 2023 hit feel fresh again. Dawn of the Equinox added couch co-op and a rebu...

The free story DLC for Sea of Stars, the excellent Chrono Trigger-inspired indie RPG, will be available to download starting May 20. You might fear that a free expansion is going to be light on content, but the new Throes of the Watchmaker quest clocks in at eight hours. It’s a substantial add-on for those who have rolled credits on the main campaign, which you’ll need to do before the quest unlocks. The DLC reunites the main game’s protagonists Zale and Valere, who journey into a miniature cloc...

The post Indie Selects for April 2025: Fresh but Familiar Vibes appeared first on Xbox Wire.

And it's right around the corner! We've been eagerly awaiting news of the Sea of Stars 'Throes of the Watchmaker' DLC ever since Sabotage Studios first teased it in early 2024, and now, we finally have a release date. The excellent retro-inspired RPG will land its free DLC on 20th May, adding an extra eight-hour adventure that features new characters, worlds, puzzles and a cinematic budget equivalent to that used on the main game. In short, it's quite a beefy sausage.

Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith had one of the all-time biggest rereleases in history in 2025, as it returned to theaters for its 20th anniversary.

Sega has delayed the global launch of Sonic Rumble, the mobile and PC party game from Angry Birds maker Rovio.

Solo developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone says he's "committed to not working on Stardew Valley" until he's "done with Haunted Chocolatier"... but, other updates will probably still come after.

Towerborne was one of the biggest surprise winners from my time at Gamescom 2024. I’m hard to please when it comes to side-scrolling brawlers, but Stoic and Xbox’s new co-op game quickly won me over. Its slick, rewarding, combo-driven combat takes cues from fighting games and soulslikes to great effect, and that’s only amplified by the promise of plenty of gear and class customization in the vein of Diablo or Borderlands. Out now, Towerborne’s sixth major update brings it to Xbox and PC Game Pas...
