Right, how about a look at Resident Evil: Requiem then 'ey? Capcom revealed their latest entry in the horror series earlier this month at Summer Game Fest (after a little bit of a prank), but didn't really show off any gameplay. It was more just a "hey, it's real, and also here's our protagonist Grace Ashcroft!" kind of reveal. Our own Edwin got to take a look at it in action around the same time, but a new trailer during today's Capcom Spotlight has offered up a bit of a look for the rest of us...

You'd think that with Summer Game Fest technically being all wrapped up by now we'd all be done with showcases, and yet here Capcom are with a Spotlight of their own. One little game that got a look-in was, of course, Monster Hunter Wilds. Specifically, the second title update was shown off, which as always is adding a whole bunch of things in, so let's jump in.

For Escape From Tarkov players, wipes are part and parcel of the experience. Even though you grinded so hard to get your stash overflowing with great gear, weapons, and items, wipes ensure no one stays on top forever. However, for the next Tarkov wipe in July, Battlestate Games is doing something a little different. As revealed in its latest roadmap for the extraction shooter, players will soon experience a “hardcore wipe” which will likely mean an even harder reset than usual.

You might remember developers Guerrilla Games for their work on the Killzone franchise or, I dunno, a little game called Horizon Forbidden West. I kid, of course, there is nothing “little” about Horizon Forbidden West. The map is bigger, the weapons are better, and the machines are even more… machiney. What’s better is this post-apocalyptic Monster Hunter in disguise is currently 47% off over Fantaical.

Apple has introduced new fee structures for developers using the App Store in the EU in order to meet the requirements of the bloc's Digital Markets Act.

Based on an image shared today by a leaker known as Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Air's front camera may be positioned to the left of the Dynamic Island, rather than to the right of it like on iPhone models released over the past few years.
