The team at Counterplay Games is back with a brand new action game for PlayStation.

During the recent Xbox showcase, the new trailers for both Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution confirmed that these games will only be available on Xbox Series X/S. The trailers didn’t suggest that either title would be released on PlayStation 5. Microsoft stated this exclusivity is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the Xbox platform.

Atlus announced that they’ll be sharing a detailed look at the remake’s story, characters, and how the game plays next Thursday, June 18th.

Late last week, Xeneder Team announced on social media that they’ve made the very difficult choice to remove a large number of items from their available products.

When it was announced Elijah Wood would be in the new movie, fans wondered how big his role would be. In an interview with GamesRadar, Wood explained that his appearance will be relatively small, but he’s happy to be involved. He described it as a reunion with many of the creative people who worked on the original Lord of the Rings films, and he’s excited to see them again. While some might be disappointed he won’t have a large part, this limited role is actually a positive outcome.

For the next seven hours, all Steam users can download the horror game Remothered: Tormented Fathers completely free. It’s the first game in a planned trilogy, followed by Remothered: Broken Porcelain (released in 2020) and the soon-to-be-released Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy. Right now, Broken Porcelain is also available for free on GOG, meaning you can get both released games in the series without spending a dime, before the final installment comes out later this year.

YouTuber and former Nintendo employee Kit Ellis recently shared photos of some interesting game finds. They included a PlayStation 2 version of Silent Hill: Townfall, a budget-friendly “Greatest Hits” edition of Control Resonant for PS2, a PlayStation 1 copy of The Lost Wild, and a Nintendo 64 version of Demi and the Fractured Dream.

AMC has announced that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is 2 hours and 30 minutes long, making it the longest movie in the Spider-Man series. It’s just two minutes longer than Spider-Man: No Way Home, which ran for 2 hours and 28 minutes. The other films starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man are significantly shorter: Homecoming was 2 hours and 13 minutes, and Far From Home was 2 hours and 9 minutes. Even the older Spider-Man movies don’t compare – Spider-Man 3 was 2 hours and 19 minutes, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes. Looking at the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brand New Day‘s runtime puts it in fourth place, after Avengers: Endgame (3 hours and 2 minutes), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2 hours and 41 minutes), and Eternals (2 hours and 37 minutes). That’s a long runtime for a single superhero movie!

Here’s the (suitably dark) announcement trailer:

It’s a pretty quiet week for new releases, but if you’re a basketball fan and enjoying the NBA Finals, “NBA The Run” might be worth checking out. It’s a game inspired by the popular “NBA Street” series from the PlayStation 2 era.
