Microsoft has announced the release date for Gears of War: E-Day. They did so last Sunday, June 7, during the Xbox Games Showcase, where they presented some of their exclusives for both 2026 and 2027. Positioning the new installment of Gears of War as their next big bet for the fall of 2026, being the grand year-end closing for Microsoft, they took the opportunity to do a deep dive into the game and show us more about it. Classic, but modern Taking us to the origins of the Locust invasion, the creatures that threaten to wipe out humanity, the […]
Taking us back to the origins of the Locust invasion, the creatures that threaten to wipe out humanity, the game takes place 14 years before the first game, with these creatures decimating humanity in a matter of hours.
The game will tell the story of these first hours of the invasion, with Marcus Fenix dressed casually and adapting to the circumstances as best as he can, trying to prevent the extinction of humanity. Even if, as we know, things will not go well for either humanity or for him personally.
Promising that they have rebuilt from scratch the foundations of the original games, while respecting what made them special, they have abandoned the open world of the latest installments in favor of a more classic gameplay, but with a more modern flavor. With larger environments, greater destructibility, and a faster style, it feels like Gears of War, but much more dynamic and spectacular than ever.
Last Sunday, June 7, the Xbox Games Showcase took place where some of the most important titles that we will see in the remainder of 2026 and in 2027 were announced. Among these was one of the most anticipated games by fans of Japanese role-playing games, which, although it was known to be in development, had not been officially confirmed yet. And now, at last, Persona 6 has been announced. Announced almost 10 years after the release of its previous installment, Persona 5, the game was announced with a brief teaser that only offered us […]
Last Sunday, June 7, the Xbox Games Showcase took place where some of the most important titles that we will see for the rest of 2026 and in 2027 were announced. Among these was one of the most anticipated games by fans of Japanese role-playing, and although it was known to be in development, it was not officially known yet. And now, at last, Persona 6 has been announced.
Announced almost 10 years after the release of its previous installment, Persona 5, the game has been announced with a brief teaser that has only provided us with a logo, the color of the installment (green), and the consoles it will be released on: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Additionally, it will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Apart from this, no new information about the game has been directly provided, which remains shrouded in complete mystery.
A game with more details than it seems
Except for the fact that the Xbox Store page for Persona 6 offers some new details about the game. In addition to the classic aspects of the Persona saga, such as the returning social links and the school setting, the game will feature “strange rumors, unsettling urban legends, and hidden incidents that only you and your closest allies can face.” This seems to bring it closer to the style of Persona 2: Innocent Sin, rather than the last two installments of the franchise.
Although there is no release date, the game has already been announced. But Atlus will still have to release its next game, also featured at this event: Persona 4 Revival, scheduled for February 18, 2027. So, at least, it seems that we will still have to wait until well into 2027 to see a new Persona.
Nintendo has officially confirmed that in the coming months it will release a revised model of the Switch 2 with a removable battery. This model, initially only available in Europe, aims to comply with current European regulations that state that all electronic devices must have replaceable batteries starting February 18, 2027. A more eco-friendly console This is a necessary move by Nintendo, as they would not be able to sell the console otherwise, but it is a bit clumsy.

Nintendo has officially confirmed that in the coming months it will release a revised model of the Switch 2 with a removable battery. This model, initially only available in Europe, aims to comply with current European regulations that state that all electronic devices must have replaceable batteries starting February 18, 2027.
A more eco-friendly console
This is a necessary move by Nintendo, as they wouldn’t be able to sell the console any other way, but it’s a bit clumsy. Although the regulation will not come into effect until February of next year, it was approved in 2023, which means that by the time of the Nintendo Switch 2’s release, they were already aware of this regulation and had no reason to release a version of the console without a removable battery in the first place, complicating their production tasks even further.
In this regard, Nintendo has stated that “Nintendo products fully comply with these requirements, and Nintendo fully cooperates with the authorized regional institutions to facilitate the proper collection and environmentally respectful recovery or disposal of its batteries”. Emphasizing that it is among their plans to strictly adhere to European laws.
While there is no concrete news on this yet, it is possible that this will also affect the Joy-Con 2 and the Switch 2 Pro Controller 2. With model numbers BEE-012 and BEE-014 and BEE-008 respectively, and since Nintendo has stated that “for current products whose model numbers start with ‘BEE’, future compliant versions will have unique model numbers and the additional code ‘OSM’ visible on the packaging”, everything points to the fact that these could also have new versions with removable batteries. Therefore, for Europe, it seems that we will soon have a much more eco-friendly Nintendo Switch 2.
Tonight has been the Summer Game Fest, one of the largest video game events in the world. Replacing E3, it serves as a grand gala where some of the biggest announcements in the video game industry are presented. This year has been no exception, and there have been some outstanding titles ranging from imminent releases to some that, even without a date, already make us dream of what is to come.

Tonight has been the Summer Game Fest, one of the largest video game events in the world. Replacing E3, it serves as a great gala where some of the biggest announcements in the video game industry are presented. This year has been no exception, and there have been some outstanding titles ranging from imminent releases to some that, even without a date, already make us dream of what is to come.
A Overwhelming Start
The beginning could not have been more spectacular. With a trailer set in France that has remained mysterious for a long time, Capcom has shown the first trailer for the remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica. With a generic date set for 2027 and confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, it is confirmed that we will continue with annual Resident Evil releases.
The following two new announcements have been no less significant. On one hand, we have the new release from Studio MDHR, the creators of Cuphead. Announcing an 8-bit platforming adventure in the style of classics like Contra in beautiful pixel art for current consoles and PC, as well as for physical format for Master System, named Mighty Cuphead Adventure, they have also announced Cuphead 2.
At the same time, Fumito Ueda, the visionary creator of games like Shadow of the Colossus and ICO, has shown a new trailer for his upcoming game, which we already know the name of, genATLAS, and it has a surprising novelty: it will have shooter phases. Although in the case of none of these games have we received a date, not even a tentative one.
A slower half of the event
From here on, the event’s action has noticeably slowed down. With fewer major announcements and more already known games that aren’t receiving significant updates, it hasn’t maintained the momentum of these first few minutes. But that doesn’t mean there haven’t been major news. For example, the announcement of the open beta for Mortal Shell 2, the sequel to a popular and very unique soulslike with a dark and metal tone, now available on Steam.
Another major announcement has been that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, the game adaptation of the comic of the same name, is not dead. In fact, Platinum Games, the legendary studio behind games like Bayonetta, Vanquish, or, more recently in collaboration with Team Ninja, Ninja Gaiden 4, is developing it. Being an AAA action game, they haven’t provided more details or even a full trailer, but the name Platinum Games will excite many people.
One of the most surprising announcements of the night has been Guild Wars 3. Presented with an artistic embroidered trailer, the dean MMO created by veterans of Warcraft and which has been the alternative to World of Warcraft for years has announced its third installment with a beta for fall 2027.
Although it is undeniable that two of the games that will attract the most attention have a very familiar name: Star Wars. On one hand, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an illegal pod racing and vehicle game that promises adrenaline-fueled races in pure arcade style from the creators of the old Burnout, and it will be released on October 6. On the other hand, Star Wars Zero Company will take the style of tactical strategy games like X-Com and bring it to the Star Wars universe in a game that will arrive on August 24
The main dish of the night
But let’s not pretend that the big announcements of the night didn’t come at the end. The first was an expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds. Named Ascendance, Capcom has described it as massive and we only know three things: it releases in 2027, it seems to take place in what looks like a land in the skies, and the shadow of what appears to be a Lao-Shan Lung appears. This will delight the fans.
In addition, the creators of Stellar Blade have showcased their upcoming game set in the most famous creation universe. Although still in its early stages of development, they have shown a cinematic and some small playable scenes with a spectacular visual aspect that will delight fans of SHIFT UP games and will make them eagerly await this future Stellar Blade Blood Rain. However, they will have to wait patiently, as there is not even an approximate release date yet.
Although the grand final closure has been the third part of the remake of Final Fantasy VII, named Final Fantasy VII Revelation. Promising an even larger open world, allowing exploration with an airship and the ability to parachute at any time, in addition to the inclusion of Cid and Vincent as playable characters, it already has a release date: spring 2027. With another advantage: it will be released on all consoles at the same time. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2.
With that, a Summer Game Fest full of announcements has come to an end and, although it had its ups and downs, it has been quite interesting. And although we have left some things unsaid, it had something for everyone. Proving that, when he wants to, Geoff Keighley still knows how to put on an event.
PlayerUnknown Productions has confirmed a restructuring process that will lead to layoffs in the company, as well as the halt of the project Prologue: Go Wayback, the survival roguelike from the studio’s founder and creator of PlayerUnknown’s BattleGround (commonly abbreviated as PUBG), Brendan Greene. A project that has not turned out as they expected. Regarding this, Greene has stated that “our goal has been to develop technology that breaks the limits in terms of scale (…), to achieve this we created a research team to develop the Melba technology, and a team to apply it practically with Prologue: Go Wayback.” But as […]
PlayerUnknown Productions has confirmed a restructuring process that will lead to layoffs at the company, as well as the halt of the project Prologue: Go Wayback, the survival roguelike from the studio’s founder and creator of PlayerUnknown’s BattleGround (commonly abbreviated as PUBG), Brendan Greene.
A project that has not gone as they expected
Regarding this, Greene has stated that “our goal has been to develop a technology that allows us to break the limits at the scale level (…), to achieve this we created a research team to develop the Melba technology, and a team to apply it practically with Prologue: Go Wayback”. But as he himself has stated, “I have reached the limit of what I can finance this adventure”.
This does not mean that PUBG or the Melba technology will come to an end. PUBG will continue to operate as it has been, without any issues. Meanwhile, “we will continue to develop the Melba technology with a smaller team, while the development of Go Wayback is put on hold,” in Greene’s own words.
Meanwhile, they have stated that their plan is to refund everyone who has purchased Prologue: Go Wayback as they cannot ensure that it will be completed in the future. Also because their plan is for the current iteration of the game to be released in a free version soon thanks to an upcoming update. It seems that, although they have decided to abandon the project for now, they do not want everything they have done to go to waste. Allowing players to enjoy, at least, everything they have already created.
The Pokémon Company has announced the date for the highly anticipated mobile release of Pokémon Champions. This Pokémon game focused on the competitive side of Pokémon battles was launched last April on Nintendo Switch, promising to be the new focal point of competitive play, as it will be where the official Pokémon tournaments will be held from now on, starting this year. Pokémon Champions comes with new features for everyone. The Pokémon Company has already confirmed some important things regarding this version. To begin with, we will be able to share our progress between our console and our mobile […]
The Pokémon Company has already confirmed some important things regarding this version. To start, we will be able to share our progress between our console and our mobile by linking a Nintendo account to both.
Additionally, players who log into the game after the mobile game launch and before September 2 will receive a special reward: a Raichu and the mega stones to mega evolve it: a Raichunita X and a Raichunita Y, to mega evolve into Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y respectively.
Although the game has caused some division within the community due to the relative scarcity of items and Pokémon, its reception has been positive. Less positive has been the glaring absence of new features over the months, likely due to the delay in the release of the mobile version. This is why players hope that, with the launch of this version for mobile devices, the game will start to evolve more quickly.
Pokémon Champions will be released for iOS and Android mobile devices on June 17. It is already available on Nintendo Switch. And if you like Pokémon, especially combat, and if you have any interest in competitive play, you shouldn’t miss this unique game.
Annapurna Interactive presented the first game from Great Ape Games at last night’s State of Play. Titled The Lost Wild, it invites us to explore an island where a research center has been reclaimed by nature… and dinosaurs. Using stealth and ingenuity, we will have to survive in a survival horror game where we must evade dinosaurs within our capabilities in a tense and terrifying experience. A game that aims to be frightening and realistic. The most interesting aspect of The Lost Wild’s proposal is that Great Ape Games […]
Annapurna Interactive presented the first game from Great Ape Games at last night’s State of Play. Entitled The Lost Wild, it invites us to explore an island where a research center has been reclaimed by nature… and dinosaurs.
We will have to use stealth and ingenuity to survive in a survival horror game where we must evade dinosaurs within our capabilities in a tense and terrifying experience.
A game that aims to be terrifying and realistic
The most interesting thing about The Lost Wild’s proposal is that Great Ape Games is made up of veterans from Creative Assembly, the creators of Alien: Isolation. A game considered one of the peaks of stealth and horror games, where the alien from the movie Alien chased us through a spaceship and forced us to hide, evade it, and find a way to distract its attention.
With a strong emphasis on exploration and survival, one of its biggest selling points is that dinosaurs are represented realistically and in a way never seen before for these enormous creatures. Acting like wild animals and not like monsters, the game’s interest will lie in the fact that each dinosaur will have its own behavior, conduct, and tendencies. Forcing us to observe them and act according to how they are most likely to behave. Even if it is never completely certain how they will do so.
With a generic release date of 2027, The Lost Wild is a must-have title for fans of stealth and survival games, horror games, and of course, dinosaurs. Even if we still have quite a bit of time before we can sink our teeth into it. Or for it to sink its teeth into us.
Sony closed last night’s State of Play with 20 minutes of gameplay from its next big game: God of War Laufey, a new installment in the God of War franchise. Following the story of the last two God of War games, this time we will not embody Kratos, but his wife and mother of his son Atreus, Laufey, better known by her alias, Faye. The game begins with the death of Laufey and that is where its greatest peculiarity lies. This time the game is not set in a particular mythology, but Laufey is trapped in the Afterlife of […]
Sony closed its State of Play last night with 20 minutes of gameplay from its next big game: God of War Laufey, a new installment in the God of War franchise. Following the story of the last two God of War games, this time we will not embody Kratos, but his wife and mother of his son Atreus, Laufey, better known by her alias, Faye.
The game begins with the death of Laufey, and that is where its greatest peculiarity lies. This time the game is not set in a particular mythology, but Laufey is trapped in the Afterlife of the gods with all kinds of mythological beings. In order to escape from there, she will have to flee with the help of what seems to be a magical sword with powers to kill gods and a talking gelatinous cube.
A God of War with a different protagonist
While we still don’t know many more details, the twenty minutes of trailer have allowed us to understand the foundation of the game. Following the hack’n’slash gameplay style of God of War, but with aerial combat and an emphasis on parries, it seems that it will be a game very much indebted to previous installments of the franchise. This means there is absolutely nothing to fear for fans of the franchise who are looking forward to a new installment of God of War, even if Kratos is not the protagonist.
Having already seen gods from Mongolian mythology and hints of Arthurian myths, there are still many details to unveil. Such as its release date, as we do not know a release date even approximately. The only certainty is that it will be released for PlayStation 5 in the future, and everything points to it delighting fans of God of War.
Last night the State of Play took place where we saw a more extended first look at the gameplay of Marvel’s Wolverine. In this trailer, we discovered some details about the story and its mechanics, learning more about one of the most anticipated games of the year for Sony. Perhaps the most important and surprising aspect is everything related to the story level. The group of the Harvesters, a common anti-mutant faction in the comics especially at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, is kidnapping mutants for unknown purposes, while Wolverine is trying to rescue them. Although this group knows about the existence […]
Last night the State of Play took place where we saw an extended first look at the gameplay of Marvel’s Wolverine. In this trailer, we discovered some details about the story and its mechanics, learning more about one of the most anticipated games of the year for Sony.
Perhaps the most important and surprising aspect is everything related to the history level. The group of Harvesters, a common anti-mutant faction in comics especially at the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, is kidnapping mutants for unknown purposes, while Wolverine is trying to rescue them. Although this group is aware of the existence of mutants, most people do not know about their existence, which seems to confirm that the game will take place either between the 80s and the 90s, or in a new timeline.
During the trailer, several characters that we hadn’t seen before were also introduced. At one point, Jean Grey appears supporting Wolverine in battle with a design based on Grant Morrison’s New X-Men, but she is not the only new character featured in the trailer. Mystique, Omega Red, and Sabertooth also make an appearance in a supercut at the end of the trailer, showing that we are going to have some of the most iconic characters in Logan’s history.
Wolverine has no issues with violence
Additionally, we have been able to see how the game will be played. With certain platform elements, the emphasis will be on action. Extremely violent and with the ability to regenerate from wounds, we have seen that Wolverine is capable of entering a berserk mode that seems to give him greater abilities and also has the capacity to regenerate his health at least once per game thanks to his mutant abilities.
While we are still waiting to know the specific details, this trailer has helped give us a better perspective of the game. To learn more, we will have to wait until its release on September 15 exclusively for PlayStation 5.
On May 27, CD Projekt Red announced a new expansion for The Witcher 3 called Songs of the Past, causing tremendous excitement among fans of this classic action RPG. So much so that, on May 29, just two days later, the game experienced its highest peak of players in many months, reaching the staggering figure of 29,166 simultaneous players. Spectacular numbers for any single-player game, but even more so for one that is not a new release. The Witcher never goes out of style According to Alox, a CD Projekt fan, this is the […]
On May 27, CD Projekt Red announced a new expansion for The Witcher 3 called Songs of the Past, causing tremendous excitement among fans of this classic action RPG.
So much so that, on May 29, just two days later, the game experienced its highest peak of players in many months, reaching the staggering figure of 29,166 simultaneous players. Spectacular numbers for any single-player game, but even more so for one that is not a new release.
The Witcher never goes out of style
According to Alox, a fan of CD Projekt, this is the highest peak of active players in The Witcher 3 since February 2022. And there was a good reason for that. The game was part of the Steam Lunar Sale and had a discount that brought it down to just $7.99, causing many people to buy it for the first time, at least on PC.
The correlation between strong discounts and an increased flow of players is something that has been studied and proven, but so is the announcement of new content. It is not necessary for that new content to be released for players to decide to return to play, drawn by curiosity and the desire to enjoy a game they already know they like and want to remember, taking advantage of the hype that this kind of news generates.
Although Songs of the Past does not have a release date yet, we know it will be released in 2027 and that we will have more news about it before the end of this summer. With CD Projekt describing this expansion as “a journey through Geralt’s memory,” it all points to it being a way to establish the franchise ahead of The Witcher 4, where we will change protagonists: the game will be led by Ciri, Geralt of Rivia’s daughter.
Therefore, while we will have to wait, it seems that fans have already found a way to ease the wait: replaying the complete game.
