As a dedicated gamer, I can’t contain my excitement! Back in November 2024, GSC Game World unleashed their post-apocalyptic, open-world FPS survival masterpiece onto PCs and Xbox Series consoles. But the wait is finally over – this year, it’s coming to a new platform! The big reveal at Gamescom was met with thunderous applause, accompanied by a fresh trailer that shed light on the stunning PS5 and PS5 Pro versions. I can hardly wait!
Essentially, it appears that developer GSC Game World has put in exceptional effort. Originally, this open-world shooter was an exclusive for Xbox consoles, which means the team is aiming to impress a brand-new group of players.

At the Gamescom event today, Capcom unveiled an opportunity for testing their upcoming title, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (Resident Evil Requiem). Developers graciously permitted recording of footage, offering a sneak peek into the game’s terrifying stalker character, colloquially known as the ‘mama monster’.

Over the past year, accounts about stalking have been prevalent and captivating the crime genre, such as Richard Gadd’s ordeal as depicted in Baby Reindeer, or the distressing situation faced by the women pursued by relentless stalker Matthew Hardy.
