While the game initially shows promise, Bloodlines 2 unfortunately falls apart as you play it. Despite having some good story elements and interesting concepts, this sequel to the beloved 2004 original doesn’t live up to expectations.
I’m so excited for the Early Access launch! We’ll get to race 10 officially licensed cars on four real rally stages, and there’ll be both offline and online modes to play. But the full game, which they’re aiming to release in under 18 months, is going to be incredible! They’re planning to add stages and cars created with 3D laser scanning, a professional co-driver to help you out, tons more game modes, full VR support, and even a dedicated rally school to hone your skills. It sounds like a rally fan’s dream!
Here is an overview of the game, via D3 Publisher:
Zoochosis was initially released on PC through Steam on September 30, 2024. It later became available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and the Epic Games Store for PC on August 25, 2025.
It’s definitely a surprising addition, particularly considering Majima’s role has been somewhat in-between in recent games. However, the concept art looks promising, and it will be interesting to see how he and the other villains play a part in this new DLC and if they can challenge Joe Musashi.
With the new Hybrid Mode in *The Crew 2*, players can choose to experience the game online or offline, offering flexibility in how they explore the United States, race, and collect vehicles. Ubisoft announced that this mode allows players to save their progress for future use or simply enjoy the game without an internet connection, ensuring *The Crew 2* stays playable for years to come.
Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum recently discussed the surprising development of Ben Kingsley’s character, Trevor, on the *Phase Hero* podcast. He praised writer Drew Pierce’s idea to reimagine the Mandarin – a character with a complex history – as both an actor and a figure used for propaganda. Winderbaum called the reveal of Trevor in *Iron Man 3* one of the funniest moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and shared that Kingsley enjoyed the role so much he was eager to reprise it. This enthusiasm was the main reason for creating the Marvel One-Shot, *All Hail the King*. Winderbaum emphasized that Kingsley is a phenomenal actor, and Marvel felt lucky he wanted to be involved.
Sony has indicated that the PlayStation 6 is likely to be released within the next few years. Although the company hasn’t made an official announcement or revealed the console’s name, Mark Cerny, a key figure in PlayStation’s system architecture, recently hinted at its development. Details about the PS6 – including its design, price, and intended features – are still unknown, but some potential capabilities are beginning to emerge.
Schofield recently approached EA with a proposal, but they turned him down. He offered to bring back the original leadership team and utilize the models created by EA Motive – the team behind the 2023 *Dead Space* remake – which he believed could save them $30 to $40 million. However, EA still wasn’t interested.
Konami has announced (via Gematsu) that the remake has sold and shipped over 2.5 million copies worldwide.
