PvP players also get new Medals and visual changes that help to highlight their Achievements while also affecting their XP gain. There’s also a new Team Reshuffle option that reassigns players when a match concludes. Though meant to keep things fair, it’s also experimental, so keep that in mind.

On the PvE side, you’ll have to deal with the new Scarab Occult Terminator Sorcerer, who fights with magic and creates illusions to throw you off. You can also unlock six new Heroic Weapons and four Heroic Armor sets with Accolades. Of course, there are also four new Ordeals to overcome.

Wargear has also received a small update, allowing tabards and capes to coexist on certain classes thanks to a third slot. Vanguard and Heavy will be able to equip robes and tabards in Patch 15, while Bulwark needs to wait past that for Capes.

Check out the full patch notes here for more details. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. It’s also coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this Holiday season.

“They have been hiring some extremely high-end talent from across the industry, and Saber is very much a unified front when it comes to the development of this game, with resources and talent being pulled from all over the company,” said the leaker in a recent video. However, while the team is still seemingly aiming for a 2028 launch, it’s still not guaranteed to make it by then.

100% Star Wars has also spoken about being aware of reveal plans for the remake being slated for later this year. However, depending on how well development continues to go, these reveal plans could be pushed further back to 2027, and potentially be lined up with the annual Star Wars Celebration event that takes place in early April. For the time being, however, they have speculated that a reveal is possible during this year’s The Game Awards.

The remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was originally being developed by Aspyr. However, development wasn’t quite going well at the time, and the project has since been handed over to Mad Head Games, which is working on it under Saber Interactive. The company’s chief creative officer, Tim Willits, confirmed that development on the RPG was continuing. However, he still didn’t have any details to reveal.

While we don’t quite have much in the way of details regarding the current iteration of the remake, the earlier version developed by Aspyr has seen some of the assets from early in its development period being leaked online. These assets include scenes with Captain Carth Onasi and Trask Ulgo, and even have some placeholder voice acting.

When Saber took over the project, CEO Matthew Karch said that the remake was “alive and well”, and that the team wants to “exceed consumer expectations”.

“It’s clear, and it’s obvious, that we’re working on this,” he said. “It’s been in the press numerous times. What I will say is that the game is alive and well, and we’re dedicated to making sure we exceed consumer expectations.”

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was originally released in 2003 on PC and Xbox. Developed by BioWare during what many consider to be the studio’s golden era, the RPG became beloved thanks in large part to its strong character writing and memorable storyline that had players visit a host of different planets where they could interact with various characters and experience their stories and culture.

The original release made use of a modified version of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset of the time. It is currently unknown whether Saber Interactive’s remake will use a similar system or if it will swing in either direction along the tactical to real-time action combat spectrum.

Despite skepticism around the statement’s legitimacy, Saber told IGN that it’s indeed real. However, it sought to clarify several things – including that none of the above have official release dates. “Steve was responding to a player primarily asking about plans for microtransactions in future titles, and he was speaking broadly, not officially, about the future slate of Saber games, which he’s incredibly excited about.

“We have not announced any release dates or confirmed launch windows for Saber’s upcoming titles.” Instead, it asked players to look forward to titles like Turok: Origins, which launches later this Fall.

When announced in March 2025, Space Marine 3 was said to be “years” off from release. Creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick later revealed that its development cycle would mirror Space Marine 2. The latter took “something like four years,” and assuming the former already began development in 2024, a 2028 release window isn’t impossible.

The same goes for John Wick, developed in collaboration with Lionsgate, which is slated to be a prequel to the movie series. Unveiled earlier this year, we’ve yet to see any gameplay, and its only confirmed platform is PS5. Depending on how the reveals shape up in the coming year, the action title could be closer than expected.

As for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake, nothing is certain. Saber assured fans last March that it’s still in development, but that’s it. Mad Head Games is allegedly working with the studio on the project.

Regardless of its dates, Saber Interactive has a packed release schedule ahead, and that’s not even accounting for Jurassic Park: Survival. Stay tuned for updates, as always.

A new gameplay trailer, showcased below, is making the final leg of that wait a lot harder than it is, though. It showcases members of the mystical Turok Order taking on threats that would send anybody else with their survival instincts acting as they should running to safety, if that even exists in the Lost Lands. On the dinosaur side of things, there are some deadly beasts that you’re going to have to take on with an arsenal of cool weapons, and of course, draw out their DNA to give yourself a better chance at surviving future encounters.

But the dinos aren’t the only thing you need to worry about, as the Lost Lands are also facing an alien invasion, and we can tell you that they’re looking like quite a nasty bunch. There are brutes, mages, and other devious beings to take on, and we can’t wait to see what kinds of abilities their DNA leads to.

This one’s scheduled for a Fall 2026 release on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, although a concrete release date is yet to be announced.

Retaining the same art direction as the original, the remastered trilogy offers improved character models, high-resolution textures and vastly improved environments. Those buildings on the waterfront, which used to be blurry textures, are now fully rendered. Even the water looks so much better than before.

Of course, those who prefer the original’s visuals can simply swap back whenever they feel like it. There’s also Photo Mode because, well, it’s a modern game. Why shouldn’t it have a Photo Mode? This way, you can venture outside the usual mission area and admire the environments all the more.

Otherwise, this is the classic Hitman experience as you remember, with disguises, stealth, and various ways to assassinate your targets. No License to Kill here, though you do have firearms to fight back if things get dicey. Stay tuned for more updates and read our review for Hitman 3, the third entry in the reboot trilogy and the last developed by IO Interactive before it repackaged everything into World of Assassination.

You’re going to be driving a variety of vehicles through meticulously designed set-pieces that might look familiar to you if you’re a movie buff. That’s because the entire game takes place on the sets of numerous popular films from the real world. It’s a very welcome crossover between games and some of our favorite action movies, with one scene from Death Race shining through quite prominently in the announcement trailer (showcased below).

The gameplay loop is designed to be easy to catch on to, but harder to nail down at higher levels. You drive as well as you can to earn stars, performing stunts based on what your director says, while going off the script when you can to get more stars. There are challenges that reward even more of them, although they’re going to get increasingly difficult as you keep going. Each film you’re performing for is an episode, coming with its own twists on the gameplay loop to keep things as interesting as they can be.

Earning more stars gets you bragging rights in the form of trophies that you proudly display in your Garage, while the films you manage to do your best work on get recognized for taking things up a notch. That’s all in a day’s work for a good stuntman in Hollywood.

We can’t wait to get in front of the camera for this one, but there isn’t a release date for it at the moment.

The news follows the release of the game’s Purgation Update, which brought the very welcome addition of the Battle Simulator to accompany combat squad Veridian’s investigation into a mysterious facility. Speaking of welcome news, we now know that Year 3 of the popular shooter is bringing a new Class to the table. It’s the source of all the excitement over at Focus and Saber, and we’re not surprised that the identity of the said Class has been under wraps. Perhaps it’s better that way, as it builds the scope for more excitement and reveals in the run-up to Year 3’s beginning.”

“Lots of exciting things are coming in Year 3, and today we’re too excited to keep them under wraps, so here are a few spoilers!… a new Class is on the way, planned for the first half of 2027!”

Of course, the developers always hinted at exciting additions to the game, and this recent class is no exception. The rest of the update focused on all the new additions to the game in the wake of Purgation’s release, and a lot of it is probably stuff you already know. It’s still worth a look to see if there’s anything you might have missed.

We can’t wait to learn more about the new Class, which is apparently one that the lot of you have been quite emphatic about. “We can’t reveal which one just yet, but we can say it’s been highly requested by the community. As we did with the Techmarine, this new Class will receive its own special Champion Skin after its release.”

Year 3 will have five major updates, adding new weapons, missions, and more with bug fixes and other improvements. You’ll have to wait until the Second Anniversary Update is revealed to see the roadmap, so stay tuned for updates.

Starting things off is a new Operation. Aptly titled Purgation, it involves Combat Squad Veridian investigating the mysterious cessation of communications from the Mechanicus facility, which houses key research and must hence be reclaimed at all costs.

Next up is the Battle Simulator, which lets you train and become a Marine like no other, with options to configure enemy combinations and weapon loadouts so you learn to get the most out of gear no matter the situation. That training is probably going to work well with a new approach to perk loadouts on your weapons, letting you switch things up freely depending on what you’re trying to deal with in the moment. Of course, perk loadouts are tied to weapon loadouts, so you might want to check all your gear before you head out to battle.

There’s also the new Wargear feature, which lets you equip several of them at once, with further additions promised in the near future. New Siege content and a bunch of different weapons and heroic items round out the list of additions, and we’re particularly interested in the One-Handed Bolt Carbine.

This one’s quite the update in our book, and the trailer below is a good indication of why. It makes it easy to see why Space Marine 2 has 12 million players, and why it continues to be a very potent shooter.

The barely animated cinematic even includes stage directions, like the player and Carth finding “themselves in the aftermath of a battle,” for instance. The cinematic also features some early voice work, and even reveals that the player’s character – historically unvoiced – would have also featured full voice acting.

Previous leaks also featuring screenshots from the early parts of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic indicate that the studio didn’t get too far into developing the full RPG before the project was eventually cancelled. In September 2025, we also got to look at how Aspyr’s remake would have handled planet Kashyyyk.

In the meantime, Saber Interactive’s chief creative officer, Tim Willits, has said that its remake of the seminal RPG is still under development. Unfortunately, however, he was unable to provide any more details about how it has been going. “Yes, it is still in development. That’s all I can say,” he said in March.

The company has been quite silent since reports came out that it was taking over the development of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake from Aspyr back in 2022. Studio CEO Matthew Karch provided proper confirmation on the matter, saying that it is “alive and well”.

“It’s clear and it’s obvious that we’re working on this,” he said in 2024. “It’s been in the press numerous times. What I will say is that the game is alive and well, and we’re dedicated to making sure we exceed consumer expectations.”

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was first released all the way back in 2003 on PC and Xbox, and is considered by many to be one of BioWare’s greatest games. Its story revolves around a regular Republic soldier who ends up caught in the middle of a massive war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the latter led by Darth Malak. Through a series of events, the protagonist awakens to the powers of the Force and sets off on a quest to become a knight in their own right, and depending on their choices, could end up with the Light side or the Dark side.

The title was praised for its epic story that made full use of the world-building that had already been established for the Star Wars setting, and is also well-remembered for its plot twist, which was one of the biggest ones in gaming at the time. In the meantime, Arcanaut Studios is also working on its own spiritual successor to the RPG, dubbed Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic.

Patch 13 will include a new PvE mission, a rework of the Siege mode, a new secondary weapon, 3 Heroic weapons, 6 Heroic cosmetics, new equipment, new ordeals, a practice arena, and an update to the Wargear system. Players who own Season Pass 2 will also get their hands on the Iron Hands Chapter Pack alongside the patch’s release. It will be followed up by Patch 14 in Q3, which will bring in 2 new PvP arenas, a new Terminus enemy, 6 Heroic weapons, new Heroic cosmetics, and another update to the Wargear system. Season Pass 2 owners will then get the Raptors Cosmetic Pack and the Salamanders Champion Pack 2.

Going into more detail about the Wargear rework, after Patch 13, players will be able to use Class-specific Wargear on other classes. This includes things like equipping Iron Halos on the Tactical class. However, players will still have to go through the effort of unlocking the ability in the game. While Patch 13 will focus on Capes and Iron Halos, Patch 14 will add Tabards and Robes.

Patch 14 will also mark the end of the original 2-year post-launch support plan, and Focus Entertainment has confirmed that “everything that didn’t make it into the updated Year 2 roadmap will now roll over into Year 3.” While the company isn’t yet ready to reveal more details about it, postponed content will continue to be part of free updates.

The new PvE map coming with Patch 13 takes place on Kadaku, where players are tasked with investigating Chaos activity near a Cadian base. Things will escalate, and players will also have to ensure that they are able to stop an unholy ritual from being completed.

As for the rework to the Siege mode, it includes adding new items to the Siege shop, and players will also be able to earn Accolades for doing a complete run through the mode. There are also going to be new modifiers that include both Blessings and Atonements, leaving it up to players to figure out the ideal option. One Blessing can be picked between every 5 waves, while one Atonement is applied at the same frequency.

Players keen on testing out their loadouts before heading out into a mission can make use of the new Practice Arena. Available only in single-player, the mode lets players test out their weapons against their choice of enemies at the difficulty of their choosing. It will also show interesting stats, like how much damage the player has dealt.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
