You can now play a demo of the game on PS5! It lets you experience both the single-player story mode (called Journey) and the new Burst Battle multiplayer mode again, or for the first time.

You can now download a demo for SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide on PlayStation 5. It’s a small download, only about 5 GB.

To stop a massive flying fortress, Kliff heads to an old, deserted keep where a powerful enemy called Golden Star is located. The battle is intense, with Golden Star attacking using fire tornadoes and missiles, but players can use special EMP bullets to hurt it. However, that’s just the beginning – Golden Star then flies away, with Kliff desperately holding on!

Mattel Studios is creating a new TV series based on the Magic 8 Ball, with Brad Falchuk (known for *American Horror Story*) and M. Night Shyamalan (*The Sixth Sense, Split, Signs*) collaborating on the project. The series will be a suspenseful, character-focused supernatural drama, using the iconic toy and its 20 possible answers as a central element, and exploring themes of psychology and culture.

Demeo is a virtual reality role-playing game created by Resolution Games, originally launched in 2021. It’s now available on PS5 and Steam, offering a captivating multiplayer experience that feels like a virtual tabletop game. Demeo uses cards to make gameplay flow smoothly. Now, Resolution Games is partnering with Wizards of the Coast to bring a new virtual RPG based on Dungeons & Dragons to life. Called Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, it will be released on November 20th. PC players can try a demo during the Steam Next Fest starting October 13th. I’ve played the demo’s two scenarios, and it’s the best virtual tabletop experience I’ve ever had – plus, the game acts as the Dungeon Master, letting everyone focus on playing a character.

As a huge TMNT fan, I’m really excited about the Page Punchers wave! Right now, we’ve got Donatello and Leonardo representing the Turtles, and Shredder and a Foot Soldier on the villain side, but trust me, that’s just the beginning. We can definitely expect more figures to join this collection soon. And it’s not just the figures themselves – they’re including awesome accessories, plus a special IDW comic with brand new artwork! It’s going to be an amazing addition to any collection.

Here is an overview of the game, via HypeTrain Digital:

The in-game map, called the Journeyer’s Chart, will now accurately direct players to the Keeper’s Shrine where they can get their first map. But the biggest improvements in this update are focused on performance. PC players will be happy to hear that it now supports AMD FSR 4, has better lighting when settings are low, and includes a Compatible Mode.

Game development often feels like a continuous process. After a year on PlayStation and PC, *Black Myth: Wukong* was recently released on Xbox. The developers say this wasn’t due to an exclusivity agreement, but because they were focused on making the game run well on Xbox Series X and S – especially the Series S, it seems. While many expected that to be the end of updates after the Xbox launch, the studio surprised everyone by announcing a new *Black Myth* game at Gamescom. Initially, people thought it would be a large expansion for *Wukong*, but that turned out not to be the case.

Rey’s journey in *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker* ended with her adopting the Skywalker name, hinting at future stories. The short timeframe of the sequel trilogy – with each film following closely after the last – always suggested there was more to explore with her character. Given the limited time that passed between *The Force Awakens*, *The Last Jedi*, and *The Rise of Skywalker*, Rey’s story felt incomplete, and now she’s finally getting the additional adventures she deserves.
