Exoborne is an upcoming open-world tactical extraction shooter from Sharkmob AB, who you may know for their work on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt. There is currently no official release date, but they did have a playtest that you can still sign up for. Maybe they will do another playtest before release. I wonder if it's going to end up being one of those free to play games. It looks like it could end up being that. It looks to be releasing on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. You can request access to their playtest through steam here if interested - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2705130/Exoborne/

Tides of Annihilation is a new fantasy action adventure from the team at Eclipse Glow Games that will be coming soon for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S & PC. I hear it's being compared to Stellar Blade. This looks to be the teams first game, and it looks to be a pretty ambitious one.

Source - https://www.eurogamer.net/warner-bros-reportedly-cancels-wonder-woman-closes-monolith-and-other-studios It's being reported that Warner Bros. has decided to close three video game studios, those being; Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros. Games San Diego. Yes that Monolith. It sucks seeing so many closures in the gaming world. It's like every day there's a new story about a studio closing. Warner Bros. excuse for the closures was a "strategic change in direction". I hope these studios get purchased by someone who will let them continue, especially Monolith and Player First. All three studios should merge and start a massive studio of their own. As well, amid this news of these closures, the Wonder Woman game that was in the works was also cancelled. But I feel the news of these studio closures is more important.

Metal Eden is a new sci-fi FPS that takes place in a dystopian future, it's from Reikon Games the creators of RUINER. It's releasing on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC May 6th 2025. Is this a game you could see yourself checking out? An article I read says it looks like Doom mixed with Halo, and I can see that.

So maybe there is a new Tony Hawk game coming soon after all, as an announcement is being teased for March 4th. Tony Hawk himself was involved in the announcement that you can find below. As well, you can find the news here: https://gamerant.com/new-tony-hawks-pro-skater-game-announcement-tease-activision/ A while back there was hope for a Tony Hawk 3+4 remaster/remake, but it was announced that the game was shelved after the Blizzard merger. But, could this be for TH 3+4 or will it be a completely new game in the series? I'm kind of hopeful for the latter, but would welcome a remake of 3+4 as well.

Bloober, the team behind the recent Silent Hill 2 remake has signed on for another game deal with Konami, but so far there isn't any official details on what the project could be. It could be something to do with Silent Hill again. Maybe a Silent Hill 3 remake? Maybe a whole new Silent Hill game? What do you think they could be working on? Maybe a completely new IP?

Source - https://www.msn.com/en-us/general/general/marvel-rivals-team-hit-with-layoffs-despite-huge-success-of-game/ar-AA1zmx3s Looks like some of the team behind Marvel Rivals including the game director has ben laid off by NetEase, majority of which are from North America. There is no details on how many employees were let go, but it's surprising considering how well the game is doing at the moment. A game that's this successful, shouldn't see their employees laid off. Or so you'd think. Do you think we'll keep seeing these layoffs? Even with studios that are showing success as of late?

Dreams of Another is a upcoming action third person shooter from Q-Games, that doesn't really look like your traditional shooter. In this game, instead of killing enemies with guns, you're instead tasked with revealing the world with every shot you take. At least from what I am seeing in the trailer below. It's unique art style is really getting me. I can't wait to check this one out. It looks to only be releasing for PS5 sometimes in 2025.

Saros is a new action adventure game from the team at Housemarque, who you may remember for doing Returnal back in 2021. A reveal trailer for the game aired as Sony's State of Play event recengtly, showing off a cinematic trailer. Not much else is known about the game. Though it's being said it will expand upon the gameplay Returnal had, so I'm kind of curious to see if this will end up being a really challenging game or what. Check out the trailer below. it will star actor Rahul Kohli, who was in iZombie and The Fall of the House of Usher.

Days Gone Remastered was recently announced at Sony's State of play and boasts some new additions. Fans may not be too pleased as their hopes were on a possible sequel, but that likely won't happen with some of the creators leaving Sony Bend a while back. So we're getting a remaster edition now. Maybe down the line Sony could revisit it, but I doubt it. It will release for PS5 in April 25th 2025. It will also release on PC.

MindsEye is the upcoming game from GTA Co-creator Leslie Benzies and his studio Build A Rocket Boy.

I can definitely see the GTA influence from Benzies here and also see some hint of Cyberpunk too.

According to this article here - https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/02/the-order-1886-dev-pitched-a-sequel-to-sony-but-was-denied the Ready at Dawn co-founder Andrea Pessino says he had pitched a sequel to The Order: 1886, but it was denied instead. Pessino believes it was due to the poor reviews the game received. Which is likely the cause. I don't know about the sales, but I assume the game didn't sell super well. Anyway, would you have liked to see a sequel? Even with the lower reviews in question, should Sony have given Ready at Dawn another crack at a game?
