Games

Many classic survival horror games featured an angled perspective, allowing players to freely explore their surroundings. The environment is just as crucial as the story itself – think of the haunted mansion in the original Resident Evil or the town of Silent Hill in Silent Hill 2. Being able to investigate and reveal the mysteries of a compelling location significantly enhances the player’s experience and makes the horror more impactful.

The upcoming State of Play will heavily feature Marvel’s Wolverine, a game scheduled to launch on September 15th. We’re expecting a detailed look at how the game plays. The presentation will be over an hour long and include plenty of other PlayStation news and announcements, in addition to Marvel’s Wolverine. Here’s how to watch and a preview of what else to expect.

Tynion IV’s successful collaborations, like Exquisite Corpses, suggest his new comic Odin, co-written with Bennett, will be exceptional. The story centers on reporter Adela, who infiltrates a group of alt-right, pagan Odinists, gaining the trust of their leader, Austin. She joins them on a journey to find their gods, but what they discover is terrifying – and it’s just the start of a disturbing exploration into both human and divine darkness.

Calling the ending a cliffhanger doesn’t quite fit, as the story is actually finished. Now, fans are left hoping the author will provide a proper conclusion in the tenth book. Even before the last episodes aired, it was known the show would diverge from the books, meaning Gabaldon might offer a more definitive ending in her version. But does that mean the TV show’s ending is truly this, and viewers simply have to accept it? Perhaps not.

The latest issue of Young Animal magazine announced that chapter 384 of Berserk will be released on June 12th. While the release date for chapter 385 hasn’t been announced yet, it’s still a positive sign for the series’ continuation, as writer Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga are still developing the story of Guts. However, there’s currently no news about a new anime adaptation. Since the Berserk: Memorial Edition finished in 2022, no new anime projects have been confirmed, but fans are hoping to see the Band of the Hawk animated again someday.

The game will likely cost $79.99 in the US. This is because Nintendo is now pricing physical copies of its new Switch 2 games differently than the digital versions. For example, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book costs $60 to download but $70 as a physical copy, and the new Star Fox game will be $50 digitally and $60 if you buy it in stores.

Although details are still limited, studio head Krueger has announced that Cosmic Division’s first game will be a completely new franchise. It will be a single-player experience for both PC and consoles, prioritizing engaging gameplay and a story designed to be emotionally impactful.

Before this book, readers met – and lost – Absolute Oliver Queen in Absolute Evil #1. Now, DC presents a fresh take on Green Arrow with Absolute Green Arrow #1, a collaboration between Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque. Advertised as a horror comic, this first issue truly delivers on that promise, blending realistic elements with thrilling action.

Platformer games are becoming incredibly popular again, largely thanks to titles like Astro Bot which showed players how fun they can be. While Astro Bot is polished and charming, its gameplay is relatively simple compared to newer platformers. Recently, developers have been focusing on creating games where moving around is the key feature – a stylish, challenging, and rewarding experience. The five platformers below all offer unique ways to move, making skillful traversal the central focus of the game.

We’re getting more information soon, and Insomniac is promising a detailed look at the game’s combat. They’ve stated they won’t start taking pre-orders until they show more of the gameplay, so be prepared to buy it after the reveal. Based on the pricing of games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Ghost of Yōtei, and Saros, you can likely expect a price tag of around $70.
