Welcome to the middle of June and to those that celebrate, happy midsummer. This week is jam crammed full of new releases, kicking off with a large-scale real-time modern warfare tactics game as our major release. If that's too complex for you, then maybe a spot of fishing is more your thing? Alternatively, we have some first-person shooter action from Finland or a new Diablo like game, if action is more of your thing. If that's not it, some 5v5 footie might be more of your cup of tea or how about a laid back MMORPG? Don't forget the other four games that might tickle your fancy, as some of them are quite big releases as well.

If you thought Halcyon was bad, just wait until you visit Arcadia. In the The Outer Worlds 2 Direct, we provided a closer look at The Outer Worlds 2—Obsidian's signature satire and storytelling cranked to eleven. From branching chaos to faction-fueled futures, everything unfolds across Arcadia: a lawless new frontier where your choices cut deeper, the stakes hit harder, and the corporations somehow got even worse. Bigger choices, weirder science, stranger weapons, and even worse decisions. Just the way we like it. Cut off from Earth, Arcadia is a colony cracking under pressure, torn apart by space-time rifts, shifting alliances, and three power-hungry factions locked in a war for control. It's louder, riskier, and more unpredictable than anything the Halcyon system ever threw at you.

You've been sent in as an Earth Directorate agent, but how you handle the mission—who you help, hinder, or exploit—is entirely your call. Build your character with expanded traits, flaws, and backgrounds that shape every decision and unlock new ways to fight, sneak, talk, or blow things up. Arcadia isn't just bigger. It's meaner, messier, and more reactive than ever. The only thing standing between it and total collapse? You. Probably.

Wicked Isle, the first story expansion for Atomfall, is available now. This new pack adds the Midsummer Island location to the game together with a host of new leads, characters, enemies, weapons, items and more for you to discover. You may even uncover new potential endings for the main story. Included as part of the Deluxe Edition, and available for separate purchase on all platforms, Wicked Isle digs deeper into the folk horror elements of Atomfall as you take a boat ride across the dark and lonely waters of the lake in Wyndham Village to reach Midsummer Island.

To access Wicked Isle you need to head to docks on the shore in Wyndham and find Bill Anderson, a boatman who's an expert at navigating the treacherous waters of Lake Wyndhamere. As you approach, Bill will call you over, asking for help locating something he's lost. This is where your journey to Midsummer Isle begins. Once you agree to help Bill, he will take you over to the island and give you your first lead. From hereon in it is up to you to explore as you like.

In Submersed 2: The Hive, you are Celeste Brody, a woman who awakens in a strange and seemingly abandoned underwater facility.

Welcome to the first week of June, which kicks off the summer with a whimper when it comes to new games, courtesy of the Switch 2 launch which seems to be getting all the spotlight when it comes to new game releases. As such, this week's major release is a retro RPG that takes place in the Undertale universe. This is followed by a co-op platform adventurer, your chance to become a 1980's industry tycoon, trying to clear your name after having been accused of murder, take on the role of the hero in a new JRPG and finally you have the chance to explore a long lost underground civilization.

Deltarune / This week's major release / Wednesday 4 June

Hello friends! We are absolutely thrilled to share that our game, Spray Paint Simulator, is out now on Steam! It's been a long journey from forming our studio, to the initial idea for Spray Paint Simulator, and now, its release, and we couldn't be more proud. After months of creating a game that we had loads of fun making, we're very excited to be able to share it with the world.

In the past, we've always made games for other people, so creating something ourselves has been both exciting and a little scary. When you launch a title, there's always a mixture of sheer joy and nerves after putting it out there. We're grateful for the support from our publisher and the many players who have helped us shape the game into something we're eager for people to play. We've done our best to listen to player feedback and create a game we hope will be enjoyed by many. We can't wait to see what players come up with during their time with the game. We hope that you enjoy it!

Six years ago, developer 1047 Games released the free-to-play Splitgate, an arena-based first-person shooter that allowed players to place portals around maps, adding a fresh strategic layer. Now Splitgate 2 is set to double down on this unique idea with bigger maps, a new class-based system, and the introduction of The Lab, a player-facing version of the team's map creator. Ahead of the open beta opening up on May 22, we sat down with Ian Proulx, CEO and co-founder of 1047 Games, to talk about Splitgate 2's new mechanics and how community feedback and rigorous playtests are helping deliver a sequel that hits the right notes.

Making a sequel to a free-to-play shooter in 2025
When asked how the team is doing in the weeks leading up to the open beta, Proulx's response was succinct and to the point: "It's definitely a bit of a crazy time for us." Splitgate had a team of around 15 people. In contrast, there are about 200 developers working fulltime on Splitgate 2, plus 50 or so outsourced contributors. "We've definitely put a lot of thought and effort into making sure that we have a process that works versus the first game, where everybody was doing a little bit of everything all the time," Proulx added.

Hello everyone! It's finally time—the gates have opened to the Labyrinth Of The Demon King. The game is out now, and to celebrate we've debuted a brand-new launch trailer (see below). Labyrinth Of The Demon King has been an incredible labor of love by the developer—J. R. Hudepohl—and we've extremely excited to finally be able to share it with everyone. The game is out now on Steam, GOG, Switch, PS4 + PS5, and Xbox platforms—there's a 20% discount which will be active for the first 2 weeks.

We'd also like to thank PC Gamer for their glowing review of the game: 81/100! For a first time developer, this is a remarkable achievement. As a reminder, demo save data will not carry over to the main game. We've added a section on the main steam page as a reminder for this for new users as well. Thank you all for your tremendous support, and we hope you enjoy the game! If you do (and we certainly hope you do!) be sure to leave a review—it helps us and the developer a lot. You'll hear from us (Top Hat Studios) again soon—until then, enjoy all the Labyrinth Of The Demon King has to offer! Thank you all again for your support for during development; it feels unreal that the game is finally releasing.

The Cleanest Launch Ever! Hey Cleaners! What a launch! We're incredibly grateful for the support you've shown us—your reviews, your Discord messages, your bug reports, and your amazing vibes.

Grab your gloves, turn up the music, and get ready to clean, sort, and pack stacks of dirty money. It's part oddly satisfying cleaning sim, part fever dream. And yes, every single banknote is physics-simulated, because why not?

But that's not all
We're already working on a new patch coming next week! And once again, it's based entirely on your feedback. So if you spot something weird or have a cool idea, now's a great time to share it. Every message helps! Also…you've already left 300 reviews on Steam. That's HUGE. Early reviews make a big difference in visibility. They help new players find the game through "New & Trending" and other Steam features. If you haven't posted review yet and feel like supporting us, just a few words go a long way. You can always edit it later too. We read everything! That includes the comments under your reviews. Your voice matters and truly helps shape the game's future. Thank you.

Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive today announced that the highly anticipated next chapter in the studio's legendary Killing Floor franchise, Killing Floor 3, will launch worldwide on July 24 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation 5 system, and the Xbox Series X|S console systems. Following a delay from the game's original March 25 release date, the development team has been focused on using the additional time to address feedback from the player community. Since the delay, the studio has shared updates directly with fans showing progress in everything from design, artwork, UI and animations. Additional development updates will be shared via the game's official forums and social channels, further demonstrating the team's commitment to evaluating player feedback and being transparent with their progress. Digital pre-orders for the Standard, Deluxe and Elite Nightfall Editions have been reinstated and are currently live on the respective platform store pages.

"Since delaying the launch of Killing Floor 3, we've dedicated the additional development time to responding to the community's feedback, ensuring the next chapter in the much-loved cult action/horror franchise lives up to our shared vision," said Bryan Wynia, Creative Director at Tripwire Interactive. "The support from our fans has been incredible, and with the new July 24th release date in sight, we're thrilled to bring that vision to players not just at launch, but through the continued support of new features and content that is a hallmark of our studio."

Hey everyone! Here we are announcing Mycopunk. It's a game. There's a lot of cool stuff in it. We could tell you all about it, but that's a lot of work. So you should stop reading and go play the DEMO. In case you've decided to keep reading (why??) let's take a look at some of the things in Mycopunk that we're most excited about. Mycopunk was born from our desire for a fun (FUN) co-op FPS that makes players want to keep coming back without any of that FOMO shit. This mostly manifested in three ways: shooting stuff is fun, progression is interesting, and [REDACTED].

Weapons
If you've played the demo you'll know your weapons feel good to shoot and carving up enemies is fun. If you disagree, come tell us to our face in the Mycopunk discord. Most of us don't bite. Some weapons are what you'd expect. The SMG is an SMG. It shoots bullets. But from the beginning we wanted to have some really weird, cool ass weapons. One of our favorites is the Swarm Launcher—it launches a swarm (no way) of pellets that hover above the ground and will dive down on enemies when you release the trigger. Some of the Swarm Launcher's upgrades let it do some really cool stuff, but we'll get to that later. We have four guns for you to play around with in this demo, and on release you'll have many more. Those guns are SECRET. For now…

La Quimera—a sci-fi first-person shooter—was revealed two months ago. At the time, introductory press material placed emphasis on the title's development team being staffed by Metro series veterans. Days later, 4A Games stepped in and provided much-needed clarification about this confusing announcement. Fast-forward to the end of last week; Reburn—formerly 4A Games Ukraine—did not launch their debut title on time. An April 25 (Friday) release date was announced earlier in the month, as well as the start of a closed beta program (April 12). Review outlets did receive evaluation copies, prior to last Friday's intended launch—early impressions were mixed, and significant performance issues were noted on cutting-edge PC platforms. Aditionally, according to PC Gamer: "(Reburn's) closed beta planned for April 12 was delayed until April 19—less than a week before the scheduled launch—and then, according to multiple users on Steam, ran for less than 24 hours before being taken down. The reaction to the beta among those who were able to get in was also not universally positive."

Currently, La Quimera's release status on Steam is listed as "coming soon." Reburn will issue more details about adjusted plans in the near future. Dmytro Lymar—the studio's CEO and co-founder—provided a short explanation via an official Discord channel. He mentioned that the team ran into "some unforeseen challenges"—going into further detail: "we'd like to apologize for the unexpected delay in getting La Quimera out to you, our fans and supporters...Our team here at Reburn has been working hard on the game, and it being our first title as an independent game developer has led to some unforeseen challenges. We are trying our best to address the matters as quickly as possible, while also navigating the circumstances we're faced with here; in the Ukraine." PC Gamer reckons that La Quimera's gestation period could be extended until late 2025.

Thank you to over IV million players. We are so grateful to the over four million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you! While the team at Bethesda Game Studios is working on The Elder Scrolls VI, they felt now was the right time to find the perfect partner to help remaster the Oblivion experience for players who want to see the events that led to Skyrim, one the studio's biggest games. Learn more about all of the updates in Oblivion Remastered here, and read on for a brief refresher on the original experience and some words of wisdom from Bethesda Game Studios and their partners at Virtuos.

A Beloved Classic
In Oblivion, you embark on an epic journey across the vast landscape of Cyrodiil, battling Daedric forces, exploring ancient ruins and uncovering dark secrets.
With his final breaths the emperor tasks you with a dangerous, world-saving mission: Close shut the jaws of Oblivion and stop the Daedric invasion from overtaking the land. "It's weird to think that it's been 20 years since we first worked on Oblivion," says Tim Lamb, Lead Creative Producer at Bethesda Game Studios. "When I look at Oblivion—the original and now with the Remaster - there's an authenticity to it. A purity. This game laid the framework for everything we've done since 2005. I see everything we've improved over the years. So, I feel the 20 years, but it also feels like the blink of an eye."

After two years in Early Access and four years of development, the Polish Questline Studio is ready to share its dark, first-person, open-world RPG with the world in its final form. Become a crazy alchemist, a blood-thirsty berserker, a blacksmith mage, or a stealthy archer.

Welcome to the end of April and the start of May, which ends up being something of a gap week when it comes to big releases. This week's major release is an open world RPG with very obvious Asian influences.

In the midst of this chaos, a spark of hope emerges from OCP's new project: the OmniTower, a massive housing complex intended to give the people of Old Detroit a better life.

Stranded on a planet abandoned by its creators, players must navigate the remains of a once-great civilization. According to your expedition's findings, the only possible escape lies at the summit, where a mysterious beam pulses with promise. While the destination of the beam is unclear, you know your only way is up. But reaching the top won't be easy. One wrong move might send you tumbling all the way down and return you to the mysterious Beacon that binds you to the planet. Jump, fall, and go again until you can break the loop and get out.

The "walkout" moment is a staple of Bethesda Game Studios' titles, and there are few that have stuck with me as much as emerging from the sewer-set tutorial of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That makes it all the more incredible, 19 years later, to see it in thoroughly modern form in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered—which arrives today. I watch as a newly-built character loads into the wide open world of Cyrodiil (R.I.P. Emperor Septim)—they turn to see the landscape I know so well in new and improved form. Mist wreathes around the top of nearby mountains, seen again in distorted reflections on the wholly reworked water below. A sunrise cuts across the world, casting long shadows across gorgeous new foliage. Behind me, an even more imposing Imperial City stands proudly, blotting out the horizon behind it. And then, we're interrupted by an unscripted attack from a Mud Crab. It might look all-new, but this is Oblivion alright.

Oblivion Remastered—All the Updates
Oblivion Remastered comes to Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Steam and the Xbox App for Windows PC) and PlayStation 5. It's also available day one with Game Pass and, with Xbox Play Anywhere, one purchase on an Xbox platform means you can play on Xbox consoles, Windows PC, and cloud with full cross-entitlements and cross-saves. Designed in co-operation with the remaster specialists at Virtuos, Oblivion Remastered keeps the core of the original game intact (and includes the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions), but drapes it in an incredible new visual style, powered by Unreal Engine 5. Alongside 4K resolution, 60 frames per second performance, all-new textures, lighting effects, and landscape improvements, the game also updates everything from character, spell, and weapon animations, to dynamic time of day and weather effects.

Welcome to the last full week of April and this week we have a packed week of new games, especially if you're into various types of RPG games. This week's major release is a RPG that takes place in a Belle Époque inspired world. This is followed by a more traditional RPG game with swords and dragons, a horror survival game, a futuristic RPG with mechs, some classic RTS action with a familiar vibe and finally a Lovecraft inspired horror adventure. There are loads of other games launching this week as well, so check them out at the bottom of the list.

Rumors of a forthcoming "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake" launch popped up online last month; as predicted by NatetheHate. The veteran leaker—of video games industry inside info—proposed a public unveiling; scheduled in at some point within a March to April window. Since then, data miners have combed through various web presences—including Virtuos' online site. Going back to 2021, leaks suggested that this Chinese contract development house was deeply involved in the reimagining/modernizing of Bethesda's 2006 smash-hit.

Yesterday, Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb posited that a formal introduction of the alleged "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake" will happen "next week." Insiders reckon that the Unreal Engine 5-powered game will launch on "Xbox, PS5, PC, and Game Pass." Virtuos seems to be preparing itself for an imminent announcement; as evidenced by Elder Scrolls fans compiling leaked screenshots and promotional imagery within an Imgur album. Familiar locations and character designs are visible in gameplay captures. One visual "portfolio" grab compares the speculated new version to Bethesda's original build (2006 vs. 2025).
