With the news that games keep going up in price, do you intend to focus more on your backlog of games? I have a ton of games yet that I have yet to play, including games on Steam and Epic Games. Along with the fact I have been collecting more retro games as of late, I think if prices keep going up, I'll just entertain myself with the games I already own. Do you plan to do that yourself? I haven't purchased the new consoles yet and I doubt I will anytime soon. Maybe around the time GTA VI does drop, but until than, I'm good with the back catalog of games I own.

POSTAL 2 Redux is a remake of the original POSTAL 2 game, built from the ground up. They went from the original unreal engine 1.5 to Unity. They are also doing a kickstarter for the game. It will release on PC and likely Xbox Series X|S and PS5.

Beast of Reincarnation is an upcoming action RPG from Game Freak that is set in a post apocalyptic Japan. This one is expected to come out in 2026 for the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5. A Steam page is up for it right now, and you can find that here - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001760/Beast_of_Reincarnation/

Mudang: Two Hearts is an upcoming narrative driven stealth action adventure game that takes place in a modern day South Korea from the team at EVR Studio and is expected to come out in 2026 for the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5. https://youtu.be/NFeSWXwK2tc

Baby Steps is an upcoming comedy themed puzzle adventure game where you seem to not know how to walk and have to learn as you play. It looks like you have to control your legs and other parts of your body separately. Reminds me of another game I am forgetting about. Anyway, it looks to be coming out for PS5 this September 8th.

Invincible VS. Is a new fighting game in the world of Invincible. The cool thing is that it seems to tie into the current TV show and sounds like the voice actors have returned as well. Looks like it'd be a lot of fun. It's releasing on the Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC sometime in 2026.

Clockwork Revolution is an upcoming action RPG from the people at InXile Entertainment which sees you taking control of time travel. I got vibes of BioShock and Dishonored, was honestly thinking it was a Dishonored sequel. But this looks pretty badass too. It has a planned release for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC sometime soon. No official release date from what I can see.

Squanch Games, Inc. is back with a sequel to the FPS comedy game High on Life that is planned to release this winter for the Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation 5. Check out the recent reveal trailer below.

The first ever Xbox handheld is coming soon, and that handheld is in partnership with ROG, who seems to have produced the Xbox Ally X for Microsoft. But they are calling it an Xbox. It looks a lot like one of those ROG Ally handhelds, but themed more around Xbox. Which makes sense of course. It's expected to drop in time for the 2025 Holiday season. Watch the reveal trailer below for more details on the new handheld. Is this something you'd buy? I think if it's priced around other handhelds on the market, it will sell just fine.

A new Ninja Gaiden game is coming and it was recently announced during a recent Xbox Showcase. Ninja Gaiden 4 is the newest game in the classic series. Team Ninja and Platinum Games were behind the development and It will release on October 21, 2025 for the Xbox Series X|S, PC and PS5. I only played a bit of the the Ninja Gaiden games on the Xbox back in the day, but was never any good at them. Doubt I'd be any good at this, but I assume fans of the series ate going to be excited for this one.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is an upcoming 4v4 tag team fighter that will be releasing on PC (via Steam and Epic Games), PS5 sometime in 2026. It likely wont release on any Xbox consoles due to this being a teamup with PlayStation Studios, Arc System Works, and Marvel Games. But who knows with how Microsoft is releasing games on other platforms now. Maybe Sony will give em a bone or two.

Source of news - https://www.eurogamer.net/mindseye-studio-execs-depart-build-a-rocket-boy-one-week-before-games-debut The new game MindsEye is expected to drop June 10th, and news surrounding the game seems to be rough as of late. I heard a while ago there was problems with production on the game and now it looks like CLO Riley Graebner and CFO Paul Bland have both left just days before the game is set to release. Gamers are worried about this news, as they think this might spell a problem for the game, as in it could come out a broken mess. It doesn't seem like either have given an official reason for leaving. MindsEye is the new game from ex Rockstar dev Leslie Benzies, who started the new studio. I wonder if there is some falling out with Benzies and his studio. Fans on their Discord have also expressed that they think the game could be bad, and the two of them leaving is their way of not dealing with the backlash. But who knows. What do you think of this news? Will MindsEye be a bomb at release or a broken mess? Will more people from Build a Rocket Boy end up leaving?

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Collection was recently revealed during yesterdays PlayStation State of Play event. This new legacy collection includes all of the original games and their respective versions. So you'll be getting not only the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat, but you'll get the Arcade, SNES, Game Boy and Game Gear versions. And a lot of the other games include other console versions.

But I assume this will release on PC and other consoles.

Nioh 3 was recently revealed during the newest PlayStation State of Play that took place yesterday. I bet fans of the past two games are really hyped up about this. I never played it, but if it's like any other soulslike game out there, I'm probably going to pass because I just don't have the patience to get good. I also hear there's a playable alpha demo available right now for a limited time on the PlayStation store.

Source - https://www.pcguide.com/news/this-is-amazing-medal-of-honor-dev-praises-fan-made-remaster-of-classic-mission/ A fan recently recreated a single mission in the game Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. The mission being recreated in Unreal Engine 5 was the second mission in the game called Scuttling the U-529. The fan recreation was so good, it even got the original level creator's attention, Nathan Silvers, who said the original mission was built from the ground up and different from the rest of the game. And it being one of the first ever levels he got to create or work on, he thought it was cool to see it recreated under Unreal Engine 5. You can view the recreation below.

It's said to be a prequel set in the Greek mythology side of the story. I'm always down for some metroidvaina style games. The rumors of this game being in the works comes from reputable insiders, so it's likely to be true. But ya never know. Would you like to play a Metroidvania style game in the God of War universe?

Source - https://twistedvoxel.com/street-fighter-6-on-nintendo-switch-2-uses-expiring-dlc-code-and-game-key-card-format/ We're getting even closer to a day where physical media will be a thing of the past. Street Fighter 6 on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will be using the game-key card format. Which means you get a license to play the game on the cart rather than the actual game itself. You will need to download the game, which means you need an internet connection in order to download it. As well, The year 1 and 2 DLC codes that come with the game will expire in 2 years. Leaving a lot of the game out if you plan to resell it. But I think that's kind of normal with games these days. But the issue I have is a lot of games going down this route of releasing a cart with just a license. I'm sure it's happening on the PS5 and Xbox Series XS as in they are releasing just the license on the disc. But, I do hear you can resell these game if you want. The only downside is that once the servers are down for these games, there's probably no other way to download the actual game files, rendering many carts useless after a certain point. Do you have worries about this?

Source - https://twistedvoxel.com/hideki-kamiya-interested-in-directing-new-dino-crisis/ There hasn't been a Dino Crisis game since Dino Crisis 3 all the way back in 2003. Now there is talk of game designer Hideki Kamiya being interested in developing his own Dino Crisis game. When asked if he'd develop a game, he said he would totally give it a shot. Of course, that depends on Capcom, because it comes down to them on whether a new game is ever greenlit. You may know him from designing the Viewtiful Joe games. And in the same article, he discusses a possibility of a 3rd game in the series. He has ideas, but so far nothing has come of it yet.
