Directive 8020 Take a walk around the setting of Directive 8020 as it was all shown off during Gamescom, and see why we need to wait longer for Directive 8020 Even though Gamescom has come and gone for this year, we are still getting some new looks at things that went down during the event. Specifically, some look at things that we would only have had a chance to experience if we were on-site, with the latest for Directive 8020. We do need something to help take away the sting that Supermassive Games had to push the release out to 2026. Not only that, but also a solid look at some of the other bits that were behind the scenes for Directive 8020, and what they tried to dazzle the crowds with out there. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week What a week this was here for us, as we had so many things to cover that were not video games in general. Even as we started to wrap up everything for Gamescom, that came out, too. The bigger bit is the podcast and review that we had for the Toxic Avenger, which hits theaters as you are reading this. We also had a bit of fun looking at Return To Silent Hill, which does still fall into the video games realm, but is still a film we are excited for. Read More...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Get ready for some extra fun in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart Of Chornobyl when S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 finally lands on the PS5 We have known that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart Of Chornobyl was going to head on over to the PS5 on November 20th for a while now. Something that fans of the IP have been waiting for and GSC Game World has been gearing up for over a year now to get us since it hit the Xbox Series X|S and PC. Now, out of Gamescom, we have the fun announcement that it is still on the way to the console and bringing with it a few new features that the others might not have. Some should be expected for S.

Deadpool Fans of Deadpool have another weird story on the way to us all when it comes to Marvel’s Deadpool VR It's story time out here for Marvel’s Deadpool VR. Well, at least a bit more to the story that Twisted Pixel Games is working on and willing to toss our way during Gamescom. Even if it is still jarring to hear different voices bringing the Merc With A Mouth to life. That is a whole different topic now, especially since the story also gives us another massive voice talent in the mix, and various other characters we are going to see in the game. Well, more than Deadpool is going to have to face off with in the game, if you take the story at face value. Read More...

Ferocious A new look at Ferocious is here, and we get more of the dino-slaying, human hunting, and other bits of the Ferocious wild Just a bit ahead of Gamescom this year, we all had a bit of a tease for Ferocious. This is the new dinosaur survival title that OMYOG and tinyBuild have been working on for the PC that will have us dealing with the horrors that all would entail. There is more to the story, but you can refer to the previous video for all the details. This new one that we have been blessed with, though, gives us all of the bloodthirsty gore and violence we have been waiting for when it comes to a game called Ferocious. Read More...

Final Fantasy Fans of Final Fantasy Tactics can dig back into the gameplay with a new look at Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles So much has been pouring out of Gamescom over the last few weeks, and now we get to see just how Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles is going to play out there soon. Not that fans of the IP would not already know this, as this is just Square Enix remastering a classic title and releasing it on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC. Sure, there are a load of gamers out there now who have not experienced Final Fantasy Tactics before, so there is that, but there are so many new things we need to see in this collection to see if it will be worth it on September 30th. Read More...

Star Trek Star Trek fans will have a new title flying their way, with the announcement for Star Trek Voyager: Across The Unknown We are all going to have a chance to head off into the final frontier with the announcement of Star Trek Voyager: Across The Unknown. A new title that gameXcite and Daedalic Entertainment announced out at Gamescom this year, and one that will give players on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC a bit more of a taste of what the universe has to offer up. At least in terms of the Star Trek universe, as that is a bit different than the one we currently are surviving out here. That will be part of the game, as we will be taking control of a Voyager-class ship and heading into the great unknown, while also managing so much more than we could imagine, and dabbling in some of the extra "What If" kind of things that could be possible in all of the universes out there. Read More...

Mr Wonder A new horror title, Mr Wonder, is on the way to us with a demo for Mr Wonder and a commentary on our society It feels like it took a bit longer than it should, but here we go with some fun commentary on humanity with a new horror title of Mr Wonder. If the name sounds suspiciously close to some famous YouTuber, there is a reason for that. In fact, Fume Software is making the claim of making a video game that is a horror mix-up of Mr Beast and Squid Games. Even if it does feel like there is a bit more SAW in the mix, from what we have seen so far. Read More...

I Hate This Place We have a release date for I Hate This Place, and we will be diving into the comic book work world of I Hate This Place soon It is time to get ready for a new nightmare to come at us with the release date for I Hate This Place. Things have been wrapping up out at Gamescom, and it seems that Rock Square Thunder and Broken Mirror Games needed to get one last little jab in there. That is, we have the release date for I Hate This Place on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC. November 7th will be the day that we can head into the comic book world and face off with all manner of horrors out there. Read More...

Mortal Kombat The full roster of Mortal Kombat titles have been announced for the upcoming Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection So many have been waiting to see all that Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is going to hold, and out of Gamescom, we finally have that answer. Not when we will get to experience this collection of titles on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC, sadly, but the full line-up of titles that Digital Eclipse is going to cram into the package. Many that we already knew with the core Mortal Kombat titles, but now a few more that I am sure no one might have thought were coming. Those two being Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Special Forces. Read More...

Cronos Walk further into the world of Cronos, and see where the horrors started in the universe of Cronos: The New Dawn I was a little worried that Bloober Team was only going to show off a little bit for Cronos: The New Dawn during Gamescom. Something we had when the show first kicked off, but now we are back with even more to get us all ready for the September 5th release on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. A whole lot of new gameplay to further immerse us into the world of Cronos and show off where all of the horrors seem to have begun. As long as you are brave enough to enter the Factory here and maybe check out the gameplay to see how things will be different than other games this one has been compared to. Read More...

Bloodlines 2 A quick look at the second playable character in Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 is out here, along with some extra gameplay for Bloodlines 2 Things are still flowing out there for Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 after we had the release date announcement from Gamescom. Thankfully, this new little bit that is hot on the heels from what The Chinese Room gave us is leaning more into us actually getting the game on October 21st for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Even if it does show us yet another of the clans in Bloodlines 2 that we might not be getting with Phyre from the start. Read More...

Dying Light A new look at the ray tracing Dying Light: The Beast will have is out of Gamescom, and we see how this will further light up the world of Dying Light Just when you thought we would get more to see for Dying Light: The Beast ahead of the September 19th release out there, we get another small look at the visuals of the game. Not exactly what I would have thought we would see out of Gamescom for this, but maybe Techland is saving more surprises for when the game launches. We do not know. Read More...

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week This was one of those weeks that we knew was going to be big for video games with Gamescom taking place, and it did not disappoint. We had a whole lot of new titles announced, like Halloween and Black Myth: Zhong Kui. We also had some updates to other games like Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, Silent Hill f, and Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 as well. Video games that run the whole genre list out there, and there are still so many more things we have yet to get to this week. Read More...

Directive 8020 New gameplay for Directive 8020 is here from Gamescom, while we have a slight delay for Directive 8020 now I do hope that you did not have your heart set on getting to experience Directive 8020 this coming October, as it looks like there is now a bit of a delay for the game. One that is going to push it into 2026 for an unnamed release date now. That is part of the news that crawled out of Gamescom 2025 and was a little overshadowed by other things. Maybe a good call for Supermassive Games to do that, but worth noting for those who were looking for more horror on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Read More...
