encoded: Soon you’ll be able to mount the new Minecraft update to your hard drive, so we’ve got everything you need to know about Mounts of Mayhem, including its release date, launch time and what to expect. Included is a huge improvement to horses that players have been begging Mojang to include since they were added to the game way back in 2013. But players won’t be the only ones to benefit from riding horseback (or other creatures-back, as we’ll get into), as certain mobs can get on the saddle to wreak high-speed carnage like never before, with a new weapon to boot. Will it result in something as iconic as the immortal and timeless Chicken Jockey? We’ll see, but we won’t know until the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem update, and on that note, read on! When is the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem release date? The Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem release date is Tuesday 9th December. With the holiday season upon us, we’ll hopefully have plenty of time to dive deep into the update. Perhaps an epic quest across the Overworld on our newly upgraded horses? More on that below! When is the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem launch time? Minecraft updates typically launch around 4pm GMT, but this has varied in recent times. With this in mind, we would recommend a couple hours' window before and after this time to err on the side of caution. Hopefully, it should be out in time for you coming home from work or school! For other time zones, you might expect to see the Mounts of Mayhem update go live at the following times, give or take a few hours US West Coast (PST) – 8am US Mountain (MST) – 9am US Central (CST) – 10am US East Coast (EST) – 11am Brazil (BRT) – 1pm Central Europe (CET) – 5pm South Africa (SAST) – 6pm UAE (GST) – 8pm Singapore (SGT) – 12am 10th December Japan (JST) – 1am 10th December Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 3am 10th December New Zealand (NZDT) – 5am View Riddle on the source website What to expect from Minecraft’s Mounts of Mayhem update 1.21.11 As you would expect from its name, the …

encoded: The PlayStation 5 is now five whole years old, but despite its age, it's going strong and putting up some mighty sales figures. Sony is no stranger to high sales for its consoles, and the PS5 is just the latest in a long line of success stories. So, if you're curious about how many PS5 consoles have been sold and how it compares to other consoles and companies, here's what you need to know. PS5 sales numbers: How many units has it sold? At the time of writing, the PS5 has officially sold more than 84.2 million units, making it the ninth highest-selling console of all time, and seventh highest-selling home console. This was announced by Sony in November 2025, and accounts for sales up to 30th September 2025 – so that doesn't even account for any sales since then! This huge figure means the PS5 has passed a rather significant (and somewhat embarrassing for Xbox) figure, as the PS5 has now sold more than every Xbox console ever released. For reference, the latest figures we have for the Xbox 360 are from 2014, stating that the console sold 84 million units, so this may well be somewhat out of date by now. When we compare with other Sony hardware, we see that, while the PS5 is still the lowest-selling PlayStation home console, it is only 3 million sales away from overtaking the PS3, which sits on 87.4 million. Beyond that, while the PS5 may one day overtake the PS1's 102 million sales, it seems unlikely to overtake the PS4's 117 million, and nigh-on impossible that it will beat the world record-holding PS2, which tops the list with 160 million sales. Among modern consoles, the PS5 is doing well, having sold nearly 60 million more units than the Xbox Series X/S. But it's still far behind the 154 million Nintendo Switch consoles sold thus far. And with Switch 2 sales already ticking up, Sony will be hoping that those PS5 sales continue long into the future, or at least until they finally release the PS6.

encoded: Kojima Productions has certainly never shied away from producing bizarre merch for Death Stranding. The original game brought us Q-pid necklaces and to-scale BB pods, while Death Stranding 2 delivered a real version of Sam's Ring Terminal. And while we would hesitate to accuse Hideo Kojima of going too far, knowing that he is likely capable of far more, he has perhaps gone further than he ever has before in producing a real-life exoskeleton. A recent press release from robotics company Dnsys confirmed a collaboration with Kojima Productions to produce an honest-to-goodness Death Stranding-inspired exoskeleton. A limited-edition version of their Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton, the DS2 collaboration has been co-designed by Dnsys and Kojima Productions art director Yoji Shinkawa. View oEmbed on the source website Sam's exoskeleton is perhaps the most iconic piece of kit in Death Stranding, allowing him to traverse vast and often inhospitable terrain; according to Dnsys, this collaboration "brings its in-game functionality to life". On the project, Yoji Shinkawa said: "We designed this exoskeleton with the same passion and precision as if it were built for the world of Death Stranding. Every detail was refined to bring the game's futuristic vision into reality, creating something Sam Porter Bridges himself might wear. "Wearing it feels as if the world of Death Stranding has come to life, where imagination and reality finally connect." The exoskeleton even incorporates certain aspects of Sam's own exoskeleton, such as lights that clearly show battery level and operational status. The Dnsys Z1 Exoskeleton Pro – DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH Edition (catchy name) is scheduled to release on 2nd December 2025. While a price hasn't been announced thus far, considering Dnsys's existing models retail for as much as $1499, you can probably assume that this limited edition model is going to cost a pretty penny. That being said, if you're a postman in a particularly rugged and dangerous p…

encoded: Bringing its beautiful Wuxia stylings to the West, Where Winds Meet is certainly one of the most aesthetically interesting games you'll see this year. From Chinese developer Everstone Studios, the game takes place in China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, offering players the choice between single-player and MMO playstyles. It released in China late last year, and ahead of its release worldwide, we interviewed lead designer Chris Lyu about bringing the game to a foreign market. If you're interested when Where Winds Meet releases, what platforms its on and how much it will cost, you can read on for everything you need to know. Where Winds Meet release date and UK launch time Where Winds Meet releases on 14th November 2025 at 10pm GMT. For those of you in different time zones, here's what time Where Winds Meet releases around the world: US West Coast (PST) – 2pm US Mountain (MST) – 3pm US Central (CST) – 4pm US East Coast (EST) – 5pm Central Europe (CET) – 11pm Singapore (SGT) – 6am, 15th November Japan (JST) – 7am, 15th November Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 9am, 15th November New Zealand (NZDT) – 11am, 15th November The game is already out in China, having initially released there in December 2024, but those of us in the UK and elsewhere still don’t have access to it. The game's release date was revealed at Gamescom 2025's Opening Night Live. View Green Video on the source website What platforms is Where Winds Meet on? Where Winds Meet will launch on PC and PS5 in the west. According to IGN, the PS5 version of the game will be a console exclusive for the first six months after release, after which we may get additional versions of the game on Xbox Series X/S or Nintendo Switch 2.

description: We spoke to Where Winds Meet lead designer Chris Lyu.
encoded: MMOs have long been a major player in the Chinese games industry. The likes of Dungeon Fighter Online, Fantasy Westward Journey, Zhengtu Online and more have racked up hundreds of millions of players; many of these names will be unfamiliar to those of us in the west, however. But with the breakout success of 2024's Black Myth: Wukong placing Chinese games firmly in the spotlight, more and more studios are looking to make that leap. Among those is Hangzhou's Everstone Studio, developer of Where Winds Meet, a game that launched in China late last year and is soon to make its way to the west. Ahead of launch, we asked Where Winds Meet lead designer Chris Lyu about the game's upcoming release. There's a fair amount of debate online as to whether Where Winds Meet is an MMO or not – what would you say it is? "Where Winds Meet is an open-world Wuxia RPG. Our vision when making the game was to create a truly immersive Wuxia experience where players can live out their unique martial arts fantasy. "In the world of Where Winds Meet, limiting the game to either only single-player or only multiplayer would make the game feel incomplete. That’s why we offer two distinct modes – single-player and multiplayer – that operate independently of each other yet can be switched between freely. "In single-player mode, Where Winds Meet is essentially a full-fledged solo game, where players can immerse themselves in extensive story-driven content. In multiplayer mode, players can collaborate, compete, and explore the vast open world together." Where Winds Meet has been out in China for 10 months already. How has the reception been among Chinese players so far? "Since releasing in China, Where Winds Meet has been warmly received by players. With this title, we aimed to creatively reinterpret the classic Wuxia genre – a deeply traditional theme in Chinese culture – and we’re truly grateful that our creative vision resonated strongly with our community. That kind of connection is what excites a…

encoded: Looking to follow up on the tremendous success of Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei's sales numbers are already off to a lightning start. Following on from its release in October, Ghost of Yōtei has already hit some big sales milestones, made all the more impressive by the fact that it's a PlayStation exclusive. So, how many copies has Ghost of Yōtei actually sold? You can read on for the full details. Ghost of Yōtei sales numbers: How many copies has it sold? Officially, we know that Ghost of Yōtei has surpassed 1 million copies sold since its release in early October, thanks to a confirmation from Sucker Punch Productions itself. We say 'officially', because there is some interesting and unverified news going around on social media. PlayStation China's director of sales operations recently made a post on China's WeChat Moments social media congratulating the Sucker Punch team on 2 million copies sold. While it's certainly not unlikely that the game may have sold 2 million copies by this point, the post is strange for various reasons, including a third-party, AI-generated image and a blacked-out source. What we do know is that according to GSD European Chart data, reported by The Game Business, Yōtei is officially the biggest first-party PlayStation release in Europe since Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which sold 2.5 million copies in the 24 hours after its release in 2023. Undoubtedly, further updates on Yōtei's sales figures are going to come around soon anyway, but discounting this potential misinformation, the official sales of Ghost of Yōtei stand at 1 million plus. How much money has Ghost of Yōtei made? As detailed before, it's impossible to know exactly how much money Yōtei has made so far, as we don't have exact sales figures. We can, however, make a rough estimate. Ghost of Yōtei costs £69.99 in the UK. Simply multiplying that by 1 million, and we get the nice and easy number of just under £70 million (around $94 million) Would that it were so simple! Yōtei reta…

description: "It's all part of the fantasy."
encoded: The Sucker Punch samurai sequel Ghost of Yōtei is out now on PS5. If you’ve played the first hour or so, you will have encountered a very cool new feature that was made possible by the technical capabilities of the PlayStation 5 itself. When Atsu, the new main character voiced by Erika Ishii, visits her childhood home during the prologue, you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about here. At the press of a button, you can send Atsu instantaneously into a childhood flashback. You’re standing in the exact same location, but you’ve travelled back in time to Atsu’s younger years when her parents were still alive. In the blink of an eye, you’re back in those happier days. It’s a neat trick, and one that we can imagine lots of other games trying to emulate in future. For example, It would work super well for the Star Wars Jedi games, where the lead character already senses ‘echoes’ of the past. On the eve of the Yōtei’s launch, we had the chance to ask Nate Fox, one of the game’s directors, about the thinking behind this feature and how it is even possible. So, what was thinking behind the flashbacks? In Fox’s words: “We really want players to be able to experience Atsu’s youth. You know, why does she love her mum so much, who just hen-pecks her to keep practicing her shamisen. Or her dad, you know, making dad jokes. The kind of things that you can relate to, so that, when Atsu is furious about the life that was stolen from her, you understand. “And because it's a video game, of course, you get to play the thing. And I don't know you, when you play video games, I tend to say, like, ‘Oh, I died on that level’. You are the character. And that's a great thing about games, right? That they're immersive on that level, that is unique.” This seamless cutting into Atsu’s early years, as we assumed, was it by any chance made possible by the Solid State Drive in the console itself? “You're right,” Fox told us. “It is, in fact, because of the power of the SSD on the PlayStation 5 tha…

Bringing together an incredibly talented cast of voice actors, Yōtei offers up some stellar performances for your journey across Ezo. But whose voices are they? To answer that question, we've put together a full cast list on every major voice actor in Ghost of Yōtei, as well as where you may know them from. Ghost of Yōtei cast: All voice actors Here is a list of all the main voice actors in Ghost of Yōtei and their characters: Erika Ishii – Atsu Feodor Chin – Lord Saito Robert Wu – The Snake Tommy Kang – The Oni Matt Yang King – The Kitsune Nelson Lee –The Spider David Sakurai – The Dragon Noshir Dalal – Jubei Jeannie Bolet – Oyuki Suzie Yeung – Kiku Where do you know the Ghost of Yōtei cast from? While a couple of the names from the Ghost of Yōtei cast are better known than others, you'll almost certainly recognise some of the works they've been in. Erika Ishii – Atsu Erika Ishii certainly has some big voice acting credits on their CV. Valkyrie from Apex Legends is the highlight, but they have also had roles in Mortal Kombat 1, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Halo Infinite, Deathloop, Cyberpunk 2077 and many more. For many, though, they are best known for appearances in many web series including the long-running L.A. by Night and Critical Role, and various appearances on Dropout shows like Dimension 20, Game Changer and Dirty Laundry. Feodor Chin – Lord Saito Feodor Chin is a returning voice from Tsushima, having voiced Harunobu Adachi, Yamato and Goro. He's also appeared in the Like a Dragon series, World of Warcraft and Sleeping Dogs, but is undoubtedly best-known as Omnic monk Zenyatta in Overwatch. On TV, he's also had some smaller roles in the likes of New Girl, Futurama, Regular Show, Big Little Lies and many, many more. Tommy Kang – The Oni Tommy Kang is better known for his work as a stand-up comedian than his acting work, but that doesn't mean he doesn't hav…

encoded: The various Ghost of Yōtei chapters you'll wrangle with across your playthrough will take you the length and breadth of Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido). As Atsu journeys to defeat the infamous Yōtei Six, you'll traverse six regions from the Prologue all the way to the ending, with many a quest to keep you busy along the way. If you're wondering how many missions there are in Ghost of Yōtei, and how many sub-quests make up each one, we'll walk you through the full list below. Ghost of Yōtei chapters: How many quests are there in the game? Ghost of Yōtei's main story consists of 10 main quests. Within those 10 missions, there are three longer assassination stories which contain a total of 17 sub-chapters spread between them. Once you've completed the main story missions, there are an additional three post-game quests available as part of a wider section of the game called "Unfinished Business".

encoded: With Sucker Punch Productions taking us to Japan once more, you might be wondering if Ghost of Yōtei will come to PC one day. The follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima is a PS5 exclusive on launch, so if you don't want any FOMO, then you'll have to get yourself a PlayStation. But if you're willing to wait for the PC port, how long will you have to wait for it? Here's what you need to know about Ghost of Yōtei on PC. Will Ghost of Yōtei come to PC? At the time of writing, there has been no word from the developers on whether or not Ghost of Yōtei is coming to PC. That being said, we think that it is almost a certainty that a Ghost of Yōtei PC port will be released eventually. Over the past five years or so, PlayStation has become rather consistent with releasing their exclusives onto PC in the following years. Along with Ghost of Tsushima, the likes of The Last of Us, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man and the Horizon series have all come to PC after launch. As such, we think it would be a surprise for PlayStation to suddenly pull a 180 and stop porting their games, starting with Yōtei. When could Ghost of Yōtei come to PC? Release date speculation It's difficult to determine when Ghost of Yōtei might come to PC, as PlayStation's approach to ports has changed quite drastically over the last couple of years. If we look at Ghost of Tsushima, it took nearly four years for it to come to PC, first coming out in July 2020 and releasing onto PC in May 2024. Applied to Yōtei, that would give it a rough release date of August 2029. However, in recent years, PlayStation has made more of an effort to brings its exclusives to PC much sooner. God of War Ragnarök, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us 2 Remastered and Stellar Blade all released on PC less than two years after their initial PS5 launches, with Stellar Blade taking only 14 months. Seeing as these games are more representative of PlayStation's current strategy, we think it's a more useful barometer to use as opposed to Tsushima…

encoded: Another year, another FC, and FC 26 has come with a whole array of nice pre-order bonuses to help get you started in FUT. Depending on which version of the game you pre-ordered, there are different bonuses on offer, and you may not have even received your bonuses yet. So, read on for a quick explainer on how to redeem pre-order bonuses in FC 26 as well as a run-down on the full list of bonuses you'll receive for having purchased each edition. How to redeem FC 26 pre-order bonuses explained If you've pre-ordered FC 26 but haven't received your bonuses, there are probably a couple of reasons for this, and it all depends on whether you're playing on console or PC. If you're a console player, then make sure you're logged in to the EA Account that you used to purchase the game. Most of the time, your bonuses will simply be sent to the 'Unassigned Items' section. Simply head to the 'Store' tab, and select the 'Claim Your New Items' option to receive all those lovely bonuses. If you're on PC, things are a bit more annoying, but still not that bad. Head to the EA Sports FC 26 page on the Steam store. Scroll down to the bit where all the different versions of the game are listed, as well as the option to purchase FC Points. You should see an option here to redeem your pre-order bonuses. Simply select this, make sure your game is updated to the latest version and boot it up. Then, follow the same steps as above and you should receive your bonuses! FC 26 pre-order bonuses: What's in all the different versions? Like in previous years, there are two different version of FC 26 to purchase: The Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition. Both come with different bonuses, and it should be noted that the Ultimate Edition can only be purchased digitally, while the Standard Edition is available in both physical and digital forms. FC 26 Standard Edition pre-order bonuses The FC 26 Standard Edition comes with the following pre-order bonuses: 92+ Icon (untradeable) for EA Sports FC 25 (sold s…

description: A shame, really.
encoded: Reviewing a yearly sports title like EA Sports FC is an impossible task. In one regard, it should be a reflection of how good that year's game is as a standalone title – in this regard, FC typically fares well. In another, it must be a reflection of how much the game has changed since last year's iteration, how worthwhile it is to upgrade to. Sadly, while the few tweaks EA Sports has made for this year's game are a step in the right direction, I can't help but feel that FC 26 is the most 'same as last year's game' the series has seen in many years. Perhaps the biggest change is the introduction of Authentic and Competitive gameplay, two modes of play for two different audiences. The always-online FUT maniacs get Competitive, a free-flowing, fast-paced mode that allows for the traditionally massive scorelines of 6-7 and the like. Offline play, such as Career Mode, gets Authentic. This is slower, more realistic, and more calculated. Beyond the higher difficulty, you are forced to contend with variables such as a wet pitch or heavy wind. On the face of it, this is an excellent idea – and it is – but its implementation fails to solve an issue that has plagued the game for many years, which is that pace means everything. Whether I'm playing FUT, Career Mode or Kick-Off against my flatmate, the same strategy of hoofing through balls up to a pacy striker pays off in spades. On the flip side, a rapid centre-back is almost a necessity to negate the same strategy when used by your opponents. For all the talk of tactical fluidity and skill expression, it still feels as if no matter how you play, your best option is to load your team with speed, same as always. It's a good start, but needs some fundamental tweaks to really reach its potential. In terms of smaller gameplay tweaks, the name of the game this year has been community feedback, though for much of these tweaks, I would argue the same has happened. Dribbling and movement have been improved, as well as the accuracy of p…

encoded: It may already be out in early access, but the full FC 26 release date is still on its way. With many fans choosing to skip over FC 25 last year, there will be a surge of players looking to upgrade to this year's title, with EA trying to win over fans with promises that they've been listening to fan feedback. And with Rematch pulling even more players away towards another football title, and FM26 finally releasing in a couple of months, it's a big year for FC. So, when does FC 26 come out, and what time does it release? Here's everything you need to know. When is the FC 26 release date? EA Sports FC 26 will release on 26th September 2025 on console, and on 25th September 2025 on PC. This was confirmed in the official reveal trailer that was released in July. At the same time the game was released, it was confirmed that Jude Bellingham would be returning as the game's cover star, joined this year by Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala. What time does FC 26 launch? Full global release times FC 26 launches on PlayStation and Xbox consoles at midnight local time. That means if you're in the UK, for example, you'll get access to the game one hour after players in France and Germany, and a full 11 hours after players in New Zealand. The game will, however, feature a simultaneous global release on PC, coming out at 1pm BST on 25th September.

encoded: We may be several years away from the release of Sony's next flagship console, but recent leaks have claimed the PS6 will be aping one of Nintendo Switch's best features. While Xbox is intent on turning anything and everything into an Xbox, including its upcoming handheld, Sony is reportedly hard at work on the PlayStation 6. Although official details on the next Sony console are almost non-existent, a recent leak suggests the PS6 will be unlike anything Sony has ever released. In fact, it will allegedly be more like a Switch. YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead, a channel that has accurately leaked technical info about previous PlayStation hardware, recently uploaded a video sharing apparent technical specifications for a 'PS6 handheld'. This handheld, which will release alongside a more traditional PS6 home console, will supposedly be dockable, similar to Nintendo Switch consoles, allowing players to use it both on a TV and on the go. Reportedly making use of an AMD APU with four Zen 6c Cores, two further cores, and a 16 x RDNA 5 CUs GPU coming in at 1.2GHz in handheld mode and 1.65GHz while docked, the PS6 handheld will supposedly be more powerful than the PS5 when docked. Beyond this, the video claims that the handheld PS6 will cost around $500, and could launch as soon as late 2027. View Green Video on the source website It would represent Sony's first foray into the handheld gaming market since 2011's PS Vita launch, a console which, despite accruing a certain cult popularity, never saw much commercial success. While the PS5 has certainly sold well, hitting the 80 million units mark in August 2025, it remains several million short of the PS3, and nearly 40 million short of the PS4. With the Nintendo Switch flying high on 153 million units sold, the Switch 2 already breaking sales records, and Xbox getting in on the action, it appears Sony wants a piece of the handheld pie once more – it's just a question of whether they can make something great or just a poor …

Those who haven't had a chance to play the original Hollow Knight might be wondering if they need to before jumping into Silksong, and also whether they can enjoy it on PS5. Especially since many fans played Hollow Knight on PS4 (yes, that's how long it's been). So, what's the story with Silksong on PS5? We'll explain everything you need to know. Is Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5? Hollow Knight: Silksong is launching on PS5, and indeed PS4 as well, a rarity for a brand-new title nowadays. In fact, you can check out its store page already, though it's not available to purchase just yet. If you weren't aware that Silksong was launching on PS5, it's hardly surprising. The console has been notably absent from any marketing for the game. While a PC version was inevitable – the original was a PC exclusive when it first launched – the console side of things has been a bit more interesting. Both Xbox and Nintendo have featured the game rather prominently in trailers for the Xbox Rog Ally, Nintendo Directs. Both companies even featured a Silksong demo at their respective booths at Gamescom last month. While Nintendo and Xbox have been neck and neck when it comes to advertising Silksong on their respective platforms, PlayStation has been shockingly silent about the game launching on PS5, too. So, there you have it. PlayStation owners, you'll be able to play Hollow Knight: Silksong on launch on both PS5 and PS4. Unfortunately for you, though, you won't get the chance to play it as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription, as Xbox players will be able to enjoy it via Xbox Game Pass – them's the breaks, we're afraid!

If you and your friends are all spread out across Xbox, PC and PlayStation, can you still play together? That's what we're here to answer, so if you're looking to check out if crossplay is available before diving in, here's what you need to know. Is Gears of War: Reloaded crossplay? Multiplayer across platforms explained Fortunately, Gears of War: Reloaded features full crossplay support, meaning players across Xbox, PlayStation and PC can all play together. To facilitate this, you will need to sign into your Microsoft account in-game. If you haven’t got one already, you can do so by simply heading to the Microsoft website. Once you've done that, it's simply a matter of making sure you have your friends on your friends list and you'll be able to invite them via their Microsoft accounts. You'll be able to play both co-op and competitive multiplayer via crossplay too, so no matter what mode you and your friends are interested in, you'll be able to jump in together – just be aware that this means you'll be coming up against players on other platforms, too. Does Gears of War: Reloaded have cross-progression? Gears of War: Reloaded also features full cross-progression. This means that if you have the game on multiple platforms, on Xbox Series X/S and PC via Game Pass for example, your save will transfer over as long as you're logged in to your Microsoft account. Start your campaign on PC but fancy moving to the sofa? Hop onto your Xbox and you'll be able to load up your save exactly where you left it. Again, cross-progression works for both the campaign and online multiplayer modes, so you can swap back and forth as often as you like regardless of what modes you're playing.

Black Myth: Zhong Kui was revealed at Gamescom 2025: Opening Night Live, and we’ve got everything you need to know about the Black Myth: Zhong Kui release date speculation, pre-order and gameplay details! It’s been a great few years for gamer fans of Chinese mythology thanks to a number of Wuxia titles released and in development. Following the massive success of Game Science’s Black Wyth: Wukong, we have one more to get hyped for! Details are still thin on the ground, however, so as excited as we are, it’s definitely going to be a bit of a waiting game. Still, it’s brilliant to see a younger studio do well enough to continue pursuing its passion and developing its vision. With all that said, let’s get to it. Black Myth: Zhong Kui release date speculation Black Myth: Zhong Kui currently has no given release date or window. Game Science typically releases games or gives updates on 19th August (20th in China), so we could be waiting some time before we hear anything about a Black Myth: Zhong Kui release date. In the game’s FAQ page, it states that when it comes to a Black Myth: Zhong Kui release date, even Game Science CEO “Yocar himself has absolutely no idea”. Black: Myth Wukong got its gameplay reveal some four years before it released, but Game Science has built up the technology base to build such games now, so hopefully it won't be that long this time around. Still, with plans this up in the air, we reckon we could be looking at a 2028 to 2029 release window. A shame, but as Gabe Newell put it, “Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.” If you’re looking for something new to play, then check out all the upcoming games in 2025 and beyond to see what might wet your whistle! Can I pre-order Black Myth: Zhong Kui? No, you cannot currently pre-order Black Myth: Zhong Kui. With the game only having just been revealed, and a Black Myth: Wukong DLC to come first, it will likely be a long while yet before pre-orders go live. …

That's right; console war cardinal sins are being committed. If this were the mid-2000s, bottles of Mountain Dew and packs of Doritos would be flying in the ensuing kerfuffle. But we live in different, more peaceful times, with Xbox suffering something of an identity crisis and trying to get its games out on as many platforms as possible in the wake of waning hardware sales. First launched in 2006, Gears of War was one of the big reasons you needed an Xbox 360 at the time, with 2007's Halo 3 hammering the point home. But this isn't just Xbox giving up the ghost. In what appears to be a tit-for-tat trade, Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox with its own Halo ODST crossover. Wild times we live in. With all that said, let's see when we can dive into Gears of War: Reloaded! When is Gears of War: Reloaded coming out? Confirmed release date Gears of War: Reloaded will release on 26th August 2025. The game will cost £39.99 / $39.99 at launch, but Xbox has confirmed that Xbox console players who already own the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will be upgraded to Reloaded free of charge.

encoded: Usually, with consoles, gamers are interested in maximum power to achieve the best performance and visual quality. It may seem a bit strange, then, that Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced an initiative to nix some of the grunt that delivers the stunning visuals in titles such as The Last of Us. This is all part of Sony’s ‘Road to Zero’ environment plan, however, which seeks to achieve "net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2040". Sony as a whole manufactures all sorts of goods, from high-end cameras to TVs and, eventually, cars. PlayStation 5s running games most likely don’t come all that close to the energy that these operations use up, but still, every little helps. Yet some believe that this may, in fact, be acting as a convenient smoke screen for a potential project at Sony. More on that later. This ‘power saver’ mode is said to "scale back performance" and will "allow your PS5 to reduce its power consumption when the feature is enabled, optionally by gamers", as noted by the official PlayStation Blog post. Microsoft implemented a similar feature for Xbox Series consoles, and Microsoft reported that 66 per cent of users opted in to the feature (via Pure Xbox). Other than helping the planet and your energy bill, what’s interesting about this is that Sony makes mention that this feature will come to "supported PS5 games". This would be a unique performance profile, much like 60FPS performance and 30FPS quality modes commonly found in many titles, but, as it is intended to sip as little power as possible, some are convinced that this is laying the groundwork for a potential upcoming PlayStation handheld device.

encoded: Following a deep dive at July's State of Play, Ghost of Yōtei is set to vastly expand on Tsushima in almost every regard. Combat, story and exploration, the three key pillars of Tsushima, have seemingly been greatly improved upon for Yōtei. We had the chance to chat with Nate Fox and Jason Connell, creative directors on Ghost of Yōtei at Sucker Punch Productions, finding out more about their motivations for not only a whole new protagonist, but an entirely new time period. "We really love Jin Sakai and his story of transforming himself from a samurai who has to give up his sense of honour in order to become the Ghost," Fox begins. "It was the story we really wanted to tell, and we felt like we had shown that transformation. "And so we thought, 'Well, what's next?' At Sucker Punch, we love, love origin stories, and so the thought of jumping forward in time to 1603 to this really interesting point in history in Ezo, modern-day Hokkaido, really appealed to us, as well as getting to know a new hero. "Atsu is very much her own character that players will get to know and get to see change as she becomes infamous as this Onyrō, this vengeance ghost." As characters, Jin and Atsu are vastly different. While Jin represented a spirit of rebellion among the people, Atsu's quest is far more singularly-minded, driven by revenge. "Atsu is thought of by the people of Ezo as this vengeance spirit," Fox explains. "That legend only grows as she hunts down the Yōtei Six, who have legions of soldier at their bidding, and she survives against all odds and her story spreads like wildfire. "It's different than Ghost of Tsushima. This is a tale where we start understanding how people view her as this scary entity, and it's this transformation into something else that really is kind of the emotional heart of the story. "It's a different Ghost story, but it has that same kind of backbone of you being a walking legend." Character changes are far from the only major overhaul coming to the game …

It's been a huge hit with players and critics thanks, in part, to its grandiose story, stellar cast and a killer soundtrack to boot. But the game has only released on PS5, unlike its processor, which launched on PS4 and later came to PS5. So, why isn't Death Stranding 2 on PS4? Here's what the developers themselves have said about it. Why Death Stranding 2 isn't on PS4 explained: What the devs have said Put simply, Death Stranding 2 is just too much for the PS4 to handle. The game's graphics, powered by the Decima Engine, are incredible, and have been tailor-made for the PS5 and PS5 Pro. In an interview on the PlayStation Blog, technical art director Takayuki Uchida spoke about developing the game, and how the PS5 and PS5 Pro allowed them to achieve certain improvements. "We implemented a new day/night cycle in the open world. This achieves more realistic transitions between the time of day and introduces new dynamics that weren't present in the previous title. "The scenery and atmosphere now change depending on the time of day, so exploration is also more compelling and exciting. "For the base PS5's Performance Mode, we stabilised the framerate by switching the LOD (Level of Detail) earlier to reduce geometry and adjust the resolution dynamically. "On PS5 Pro, players can enjoy a higher resolution that is closer in quality to Resolution Mode, while maintaining 60FPS gameplay." The game looks so good, in fact, that with Performance Mode turned off on a base PS5, the game only runs at 30FPS. If we were to translate that to a PS4, then we would assume that the game would maybe be able to run at 60FPS using the Performance Mode graphics, but considering how boundary-pushing the Kojima Productions team have aimed to be with this game, that doesn't seem like an appealing prospect. And at the end of the day, the PS4 came out in 2013. It's perhaps a bit o…

encoded: We've finally come to the end of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3. It was the biggest season we've seen so far, but that might be about to change with the Season 4 release fast approaching. Season 3 brought us the return of Verdansk, and the huge new Shattered Veil map for all you Zombies players, and there's so much more to look forward to in Season 4. So, if you're wondering what time CoD BO6 Season 4 releases, read on for everything you need to know CoD BO6 Season 4 release date View oEmbed on the source website Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 4 is currently scheduled to release at 5pm BST Thursday 29th May 2025. While this is the UK launch time, this translates to 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 6pm CEST for those of you in the west and east coasts of North America, and in Europe respectively. This was officially confirmed on the official Call of Duty social media accounts, and it coincides with the end of Season 3. While this is the current date, there is always the potential that the season’s start could be delayed – Season 3 was initially slated to begin on 20th March, but was pushed back until April. What to expect from CoD BO6 Season 4 We don’t know too much yet about BO6 Season 4, but one thing that has been confirmed is the return of Vikhor 'Stitch' Kuzmin from Black Ops Cold War. Following the conclusion of Season 3’s story, it appears that Adler and the Rogue Black Ops team will be breaking Stitch out of the Camp Zeta prison in Iceland on the road to clearing their names. As for actual gameplay, nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but thanks to some dataminers, we have an idea of what could be coming.

Doom: The Dark Ages review – A new era of Doom, for better and worse

description: The Dark Ages gives us a reminder that bigger does not always mean better.
encoded: Over the past three decades, Doom has been a series where, by and large, you know what you're getting. 2020's Doom Eternal expanded upon Doom (2016), sure, but the fundamentals are similar. The latest entry in the series, however, goes much, much further. Doom: The Dark Ages doesn't just iterate on Doom Eternal, it revolutionises it in all senses. Across its approach to combat, story and world, it is significantly expanded, though perhaps not always for the best. But let's save the negativity for later. Doom is all about the combat, and the combat in The Dark Ages is exceptional. After previewing the game back in March, I briefly went back to Doom Eternal and, honestly, struggled to enjoy it. That's because its gameplay is so totally eclipsed by The Dark Ages. As before, you have your wide arsenal of weapons, from your classic shotgun to new favourites, but unlike the Dooms of old, this game isn't about your guns, it's about your shield. The Dark Ages bequeaths the Doom Slayer with a shield-cum-buzzsaw known, funnily enough, as the Shield Saw. This is the bread and butter of The Dark Ages' combat, whether that's comboing it with certain guns or deflecting damage back at your enemies. There were plenty of worries upon the shield's reveal that it would lead to a slower playstyle. This is true to an extent, but I would posit that what is lost in speed is more than made up for in strategy. Your weapons and shield have synergy - shield bashing to close the distance before unleashing a shotgun blast is an obvious example of this. But later on, you'll pick up upgrades that let you develop specific playstyles, whether that's crowd control or high single-target damage. It's a level of strategy that was missing from previous Dooms and it makes your approach to combat as a whole feel far more purposeful. The shield also comes with a parry mechanic, allowing you to stand your ground more effectively. You can't parry every attack, only specific ones marked by a green glow. It's …

description: What is Epic Games cooking up?
encoded: We're on the cusp of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, set to bring with it some major content updates and a yearly crossover. Season 2 has been a big one, but we're excited to get some fresh new content on our screens, and it looks like Epic Games has been busy prepping for this new season. If you're as excited as we are, then keep reading to find out when Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 starts and what's included! When is the next Fortnite season? Chapter 6 Season 3 release date and UK launch time Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 releases on Friday 2nd May 2025. According to the Epic Games server status website, this new content is planned to drop at 11am BST today for players in the UK. That's the best estimate we have for a UK launch time, but these things can be hard to predict! This coincides with the end of Chapter 6 Season 2, with a bit of downtime between the two to allow Epic to get the new season up and running. Epic Games is usually pretty swift with its updates, and new seasons often launch after only an hour or two of downtime. That being said, we've seen sporadic issues and delays in the past, so it isn't totally out of the question that the next season could take a few hours longer if something goes wrong. What to expect from Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 To nobody's surprise, Season 3 is set to be Star Wars-themed, with the season launching two days before Star Wars Day on 4th May. This, of course, means that there's going to be a host of new Star Wars content, starting off with a new Star Wars live event that will take place across the entire season. As for classic characters, you can't say better than Jar Jar Binks, who joins the game as his meme counterpart Darth Jar Jar. We're also in for a world first in this season, with a new Star Wars TV show premiering its first two episodes in Fortnite before it goes to Disney+ a few days later! It's not going to be a particularly long season, lasting only around a month, similar to the mini seasons that ran near the ends…

encoded: It's been some week for Sandfall Interactive. After racking up rave reviews for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game has gone on to huge commercial success, selling 1 million copies within three days of release. The game has been so successful, in fact, that physical editions of the game have begun to sell out at certain retailers. In a recent tweet from the official Expedition 33 account, the developer acknowledged that it was aware that physical copies were selling out at various retailers. View oEmbed on the source website "Our distribution partners are looking into re-stocking," the tweet reads. "Sorry, the demand has been higher than expected in many regions." While excitement for the game had already been high prior to release, the hype around the title following its release has been stupendous. And it appears that neither developer Sandfall nor publisher Kepler Interactive were prepared for quite how popular the game would prove. In the UK, physical copies appear to still be available from Argos, while Best Buy and GameStop appear to have some stock in the US. One interesting aspect of the game's physical sales is that, in the UK at least, 96 per cent of all physical Expedition 33 copies were sold on PS5, according to data shared by Push Square. This is perhaps a reflection of the shift towards Game Pass for Xbox players, with Expedition 33 marking one of the service's biggest releases of April 2025, alongside Oblivion Remastered. But while physical sales may be grinding to a halt because of a lack of supply, the game is continuing to soar in digital sales, according to SteamDB. After peaking at 121,422 players on Steam in the days after release, the game has managed to rack up over 90,000 concurrent players every day since – a tremendous feat for a single-player RPG. The game remains the top paid game on the Steam Top Sellers charts, edging out fellow RPG Oblivion Remastered. As for when those physical copies will be back in stock, it seems like just a matt…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review – Magnifique!

description: Between story, worldbuilding and combat, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 embodies everything a modern RPG should be.
encoded: Every year on the same date, a godlike being known as the Paintress paints a new number in the sky above the city of Lumière. Ticking down from 100, this year the number hits 33, and within seconds, everyone aged 34 and older turns to dust. The next day, Clair Obscur’s titular Expedition 33, largely made up of volunteers with one year left to live, sets out for the continent to put an end to the Paintress’s terror. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's core premise is fascinating, and incredibly engaging – words can’t quite do justice to how truly gut-wrenching Clair Obscur’s first couple of hours are. The name Clair Obscur comes from the Italian chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark found in your Rembrandts and Caravaggios, and it’s a motif that is continually reflected in the game’s tragic yet hopeful story. Expedition 33’s adventure is built, quite literally, on the bones of previous expeditions. The corpses of your predecessors are strewn across the continent, and along with them, their records. You repeatedly come across voice recordings detailing the final days of these expeditions, covering everything from research findings and meticulous notes to a heartfelt goodbye from two lovers. It’s a fantastic piece of worldbuilding, selling exactly how hopeless a task yours is. Your party routinely ruminates on this being their fate too, forlorn that they may simply be another stepping stone for the next expedition to build, but optimistic that one day, the Paintress will fall. View oEmbed on the source website Getting to know the characters throughout the game is a joy. Each one is expertly voice acted by the likes of Ben Starr, Jennifer English and even Daredevil’s Charlie Cox, and here too, the game’s writing does an excellent of job skirting that line between light and dark. We flit seamlessly between witty asides and tragic episodes. In an instant, otherwise jovial characters can experience moments so genuinely soul crushing that they had me on the verge of te…
