We’ve got a little more information about it after it was revealed last week, and it’s grim news for Low and Alone, who find themselves separated. Low must join hands with Dime, a new ally who brings a very handy Torch Hat that introduces some light-based mechanics in lieu of Alone’s arrows. The pair is going to have to use it well against the Puppeteer, a deadly enemy who’s looking for her next victim, who just happens to be Alone.

You could pick this one up right now, or dive right into it if you own the Secrets of the Spiral expansion pass for the base game.

Low and Dime seem capable of a daring rescue, but that’s easier said than done, if the launch trailer below is any indication. Little Nightmares 3 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Check out our review of the base game here.

Well, it’s getting a remastered version from TOSE and Bandai Namco hitting shelves on October 15 in Japan, with a global release slated for the next day. If you’re unfamiliar with this one, it follows protagonists Reid and Farah as they navigate two complex realms to help their friend Meredy remember her murky origins. Of course, things take wild turns, and the trio finds themselves in the middle of a story they had no idea they were signing up for.

The remaster brings the popular Aggressive Linear Battle Motion system to the table, making combat more exciting than the original release, alongside destination markers and toggles to turn off enemy encounters for those looking for a more relaxed time. There’s also a high-speed mode for auto-battles, and options to switch the graphics and audio back to the classic style if nostalgia’s the main appeal.

A Digital Deluxe Edition is also on the table, bringing a digital art book, soundtrack, and a few DLC items to the game. The trailer’s below if you want to have a look at the game before picking it up on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC and PS5.

Fans of Little Nightmares 3 will find plenty to enjoy in The Backstage, since it carries forward the franchise’s penchant for maintaining a creepy atmosphere throughout its runtime. Its story seemingly revolves around an entirely new character that will have to make clever use of various light sources to survive the horrors that are trying to hunt them down.

Among the major threats showcased in the trailer for The Backstage is a level where the player has to sneak through a giant-sized kitchen while a large woman is ominously cooking in the background. At one point, she spots the player, however, who then has to quickly escape after stunning the woman with a bright flash of light.

Owing to the entirely wordless nature of Little Nightmares 3, it is difficult to tell whether The Backstage will feature any story links to the base game or if it will be an entirely new story altogether.

Little Nightmares 3: The Backstage is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch 2 on 12th June. The DLC is also included in Little Nightmares 3: Secrets of the Spiral expansion pass. The DLC will be the first “Additional Chapter” that was promised as part of the pass, with a second “Additional Chapter” slated for release between October and December 2026.

It’s a bleak world in this one, with humanity seemingly on the back foot against alien monstrosities that are more than capable of taking on the mech suits that humans must use to fend them off. Well, that’s not accounting for The Pilot. You’ve got some big shoes to fill as the announcement trailer’s narrative praises The Pilot’s fighting skills, and the trailer wastes no time in giving us evidence of their prowess.

Your suit comes with some serious firepower at range, and some deadly weapons to take your enemies on with if you’re taking a more personal approach. Thrown in some very cool crown control moves into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for some combat that could have you taking frequent breaks to give your poor hands a rest. It’s fast, it’s stylish, and the visuals do a good job of bringing it all to life.

This one’s slated for a 2027 release for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The trailer is showcased below in case you want to see what we’re talking about for yourself before you decide that it’s for you.

Superweapons are essentially massive craft with multiple targeting boxes that must be taken down, which is easier said than done. Thankfully, you have wingmen who can attack and offer cover whenever needed. Wings of Theve also makes some much-welcome gameplay changes, such as when fighting superweapons – they’ll now take damage outside of their target boxes, making it less punishing if you miss.

Any destroyed enemy aircraft will now damage nearby targets, lending a more tactical air to combat. Of course, not all superweapons are the same. Later in the walkthrough, the squad faces a giant destroyer that can seemingly only be stopped by dropping skyscrapers in its path.

Of course, there are some familiar systems, such as the aircraft tree and unlocking new fighter jets using MRP and in-game currency from missions. You can customize them extensively, swapping out parts and different special weapons as the mission dictates.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve launches on October 2nd for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Those who pre-order will receive a port of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War for free alongside the F-14A.

The player takes on the role of the “Wings of Theve”, often referred to by other characters as being a legendary saviour thanks to their raw skill when it comes to piloting fighter jets and taking on impossible missions. However, the trailer hints that there might also be the possibility of an imposter pretending to be the Wings of Theve, with all of the geopolitical and interpersonal drama that will undoubtedly ensue.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve was officially unveiled back in December 2025 with a trailer. At the time, Project Aces had confirmed that its plot would revolve around the player helping the FCU retake its nation from the Republic of Sotoa.

More details have been revealed in the ensuing months, including the fact that the title is being developed with a custom in-house engine that works in tandem with Unreal Engine 5 to help the studio generate layered clouds that not only look realistic, but also have tangible gameplay effects, like changing up visibility during intense aerial dogfights.

The storytelling in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is also getting a major upgrade thanks to the fact that all in-game cinematics will be real-time cutscenes taking place in the first-person perspective, giving the players the choice to move their heads to take in more details from the environment.

“As I reflect on the past 20 years at the company, I remember first stepping into game development through Soulcalibur 4,” wrote Ikeda in a statement. “Later, I was given the opportunity to work on the Tekken series – a franchise that had a tremendous impact on my life and one that I had always hoped to someday give back to. Being surrounded by passionate and incredibly talented mentors and colleagues, and dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to game development together, remains one of the most cherished experiences of my life.”

Ikeda had served as game director on Tekken 7 and 8, and while the reasons behind his departure haven’t been revealed, the director and producer has had nothing but positive things to say about his time at Bandai Namco. He also thanked the larger fighting game community with which he got to interact as the director of the two most recent Tekken titles.

“Whether it was hearing someone at an event say, ‘Thank you for working so hard for us!’ or being told, ‘You need to balance the game better!’ – every one of those comments supported and motivated me,” he wrote. “For that, I am truly grateful.”

“And to the development team members who fought alongside me for so many years – I can never thank you enough. There is no doubt that everything we achieved was possible because of this team.”

Ikeda wrapped up his statement by noting that he looks forward to seeing where the Tekken franchise goes and how the fighting game community will continue shaping the development of the series. He also noted that he isn’t stepping away from game development, saying that “I will also continue taking on new challenges as a game developer.”

Along with Tekken 7 and 8, Ikeda has worked on quite a few titles during his tenure at Bandai Namco, which has spanned two decades, including beloved games like Tekken Tag Tournament 2. On Soulcalibur 4, he had also worked as a battle effect director alongside his game designer duties.

Ikeda is the second major departure from Bandai Namco’s Tekken team in the last seven months, with former chief producer and game director of Tekken 8, Katsuhiro Harada, having announced his departure back in December 2025. At the time, he spoke about how he was leaving the company during the 30th anniversary of the Tekken franchise, and how he felt that this was the ideal time to bring that chapter of his life to an end.

Harada has since announced the founding of a new development studio, dubbed VS Studio, which was formed thanks to investment from SNK. The name of the studio should come as no surprise, since Harada has been largely working on fighting games for the majority of his career.

Tekken 8, in the meantime, is going through its third Season Pass, and Bandai Namco recently announced that Baki the Grappler’s Yujiro Hanma will be joining the roster in early 2027.

While not officially confirmed, PEGI rated the flight combat title in Europe for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Such ratings usually indicate a release in the coming months, though that’s not always the case, as seen with Playground’s Fable. Still, given that it’s one of the publisher’s biggest games of the year, a new trailer certainly wouldn’t be amiss. With the rating now pulled, it seems even more likely than ever. Or maybe that “pre-release” date of May 30th was an error.

Either way, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve launches this year, and follows the story of the Endurance. Host to numerous refugees following an attack on the Federation of Central Usea by the Republic of Sotoa, you take up the moniker of the legendary Wings of Theve.

There’s a stronger narrative focus than before, especially with first-person cutscenes and three allies that you’ll come to know better as time goes on. Its SteamDB listing pointed to Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War being made available as a potential pre-order bonus – perhaps we’ll see that going live later this week.

It is worth noting that Bandai Namco hasn’t officially unveiled how Yujiro will look in the game – the teaser only makes use of artwork from throughout the manga’s pages to showcase him. He’ll join the roster in early 2027.

Yujiro is the father of the protagonist Baki and serves as one of the primary antagonists throughout the manga series. Interestingly, the father-son drama that forms the throughline for the manga also happens to make Yujiro a perfect fit for the Tekken roster. The fighting game’s plot essentially kicked off several decades ago due to Heihachi’s hatred of his own son, Kazuya.

In the manga, Yujiro describes himself as the “Strongest Being on Planet Earth”. Throughout the series, he has shown himself to be capable of almost-impossible feats of strength, endurance, speed, agility, and flexibility. His entire goal throughout the story is to have a child who could one day surpass him in all aspects of combat, which also leads him to torment Baki on a regular basis in an effort to make him stronger.

The Season 3 Character Pass will kick off its release schedule on May 27th with the arrival of Kunimitsu. Roger Jr. follows her in Autumn, and Bob, who made his debut in Tekken 6, this Winter.

While Kunimitsu originally made her debut with the original Tekken, this one is actually Kunimitsu 2 – the daughter of the original. The current incarnation made her canonical debut with Tekken 7, but her mother has had several appearances, including the non-canon Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

If you’re curious about her fighting style in Tekken 8, check out the gameplay reveal trailer that was released earlier this month. The trailer focuses on Kunimitsu using her martial arts, ninjutsu and agility to take down foes. Some of her moves include counters, teleports, and even mid-air counters.

As for the story implications of Kunimitsu’s arrival, the kunoichi seems familiar with Tekken 8 newcomer Reina, as well as Raven, a pupil of her father. How these story developments will play out over the course of Tekken 8‘s lifetime remains to be seen, however.

Meanwhile, Yujiro’s arrival marks the fighting game’s second major crossover character, with Final Fantasy 16 protagonist Clive Rosfield having debuted in the Season 1 Pass. Interestingly, rumors at the time had indicated that it was going to be Final Fantasy 7‘s Tifa Lockhart instead. In a strange turn of events, Tifa is rumored to be instead coming to Street Fighter 6 as part of its next season pass.

“We track your choices individually on a more detailed level,” he told Game Informer. “Because of that, we have a lot of reactivity to your choices in the quests. NPCs might remember certain things you do and react to them in other places.”

“You can build relations in our game, not only through normal dialogue, but also action,” adds game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. “We have a lot of different activities and quests in the game. Some of them are flashy and you have combat or magic, and some are subtle or more calm, but you have people with whom you can speak or do some other thing to help them and build your relations.”

Of course, it’s implied that those connections extend to the sub-bosses working under Brencis, like Xanthe the Dark Mistress. We’ve seen Coen try to go toe-to-toe with her in a losing effort, but if you pursue her side quest, the result may change. And the only way to find out is by building Infamy, i.e. doing all the things that she would hate.

We’ll find out how much more reactive the world can be when The Blood of Dawnwalker launches on September 3rd. A typical playthrough will take about 50 hours or so to complete (if you don’t skip everything), much more than Rebel Wolves initially aimed for, but the deadline to save Coen’s family isn’t where things end.
