The game, launched last year for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, tells the story of Remi, a peacekeeper who goes back to his hometown of Hadea to search for his parents. The area is torn apart by civil war, and this conflict is making a dangerous phenomenon called the Calamity worse, creating terrifying creatures that roam the land.
Throughout May, Amazon’s Luna streaming service will add 11 new games. The biggest highlight is likely Mafia 2: Definitive Edition, a remastered version of the popular action-adventure game from 2K. Mafia 2 is available on Luna for free starting today, and over the next few weeks, players can also look forward to titles like Pro Basketball Manager 2026, 60 Minutes to Extinction, and Space Grunts.
At the recent Nacon Connect event, the publisher shared updates on two upcoming games set in the World of Darkness universe. These aren’t related to the recently announced Vampire: The Masquerade – Oaths and Ashes. Instead, we got a better look at Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, and a brand-new Werewolf: The Apocalypse game called Rageborn. Both titles will immerse players in the dark world, and Hunter: The Reckoning marks a welcome return to a fan-favorite series.
The Netflix thriller The Chestnut Man is back for a second season. All six episodes of The Chestnut Man: Hide and Seek were released on May 7th. Based on Søren Sveistrup’s sequel novel, this season follows detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess as they investigate a disturbing new serial killer in Copenhagen who forces his victims to play a deadly game of hide and seek. While connected to the first season, this new installment can also be enjoyed as a standalone story.
Released in 2025, Of Ash and Steel is a fantastic fantasy RPG that somehow flew under the radar – it’s amazing the developers are still supported! It wasn’t a smooth launch, and the game had significant issues that initially justified the lack of attention. But now that those problems have been fixed, it’s a perfect game for fans of older, quirky RPGs like Elex, Gothic, and Mars: War Logs. Seriously, if you enjoy those titles, you really need to give Of Ash and Steel a try.
Soundwave, a popular villain from the 1980s, is now available as a LEGO set! He’s the first Decepticon to be released in LEGO’s Transformers Icons line. This 1505-piece set builds into a detailed robot with lots of features that fans are sure to love.
Okay, so early projections from Variety suggest Mortal Kombat II could bring in between $40 and $45 million domestically when it opens. If it hits the higher end of that range, it would actually outperform the first Mortal Kombat film, which made $42.3 million total. But we have to remember that first movie came out during the pandemic and was released simultaneously on HBO Max, which definitely hurt its box office potential. So, while a bigger opening would be great, it’s a slightly different comparison.
Fortunately, the Steam Machine is expected to be reasonably priced, especially considering current PC hardware costs. We’re not sure why – it could be that initial production costs are already factored in – but reports suggest a price between $600 and $650. That’s more expensive than a standard PS5, but cheaper than a PS5 Pro, and it features more recent technology than either console.
Season 5 of The Boys is steadily removing supporting characters, with multiple members of The Seven dying in recent episodes. A-Train’s death was one of the first and most impactful, and Firecracker’s loss was also significant. This week, another member of Vought’s superhero team met their end. With Homelander becoming even more powerful, these deaths might not change the overall story much. However, they do remove the possibility of Homelander being defeated in the same way as in the original comic books.
While most Ubisoft games manage to become at least somewhat well-known, there’s one that rarely gets talked about – it feels like most people have either forgotten it or never knew it existed. This fantastic, yet underrated, open-world sci-fi RPG deserves a lot more attention, and it’s one of the few games that tried to do what No Man’s Sky did, but on a smaller scale. I’ve always been impressed by how ambitious Starlink: Battle for Atlas was, and I’d love for more people to play it, especially since it’s very affordable now.
