With Dune: Spice Wars already offering early access, fans of Frank Herbert‘s sci-fi franchise are now in for another treat: Funcom has just unveiled Dune: Awakening over at Gamescom. Unlike Spice Wars, the new title will stray away from RTS and instead offer players a full MMO experience set in the hostile planet of Arrakis, adding in survival aspects as you traverse the desert world.

Other details revolving around the game remain scarce for the time being, but its Steam page does list a few gameplay aspects fans can expect, including the exploration of A...

Pokémon has shared a new trailer for its Scarlet and Violet game franchise ahead of its launch this November. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the trailer offers a preview of the new moves and storylines coming to Scarlet and Violet, as well as a whole new Pokémon. The video opens with schoolchildren hanging out on a playground, from which a dragon-like Cyclizar appears. When taking on an opponent, the Pokémon is able to shed its tail to create a decoy version of itself, then swap places with a substitute Pokémon in waiting. In the battle, the opposing Azumarill uses the move Belly Drum. Facing off against Azumarill, Cetitan consumes a Mirror Herb, which copies his opponent’s stat increases. The games will also have a move called Terastal, where any Pokémon can Terastalli...

Former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies has now offered a first look at his studio Build a Rocket Boy‘s latest project“Everywhere” during Gamescom. The game was originally announced back in 2020 and attracted $41 million USD in funding at the time. Since then, not much has been revealed about Everywhere, but gamers have now been offered a first-look teaser over at Gamescom.

There’s also a brief look at its gameplay which involves a third-party shooter experience largely reminiscent of Fortnite before the trailer cuts to more refined cinematic scenes, suggesting there’ll also be a campaign mode aside from jus...

Joining in on the celebrations at Gamescom, Quantic Dream has now unveiled Under the Waves. As its name suggests, the new title thrusts players into the world of deep-sea exploration, but with a track record of games like Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human, it’s no surprise that Quantic Dream has also given the game a deep, pensive narrative experience. As the company describes, players will take over the character of professional diver Stan in a techno-futuristic ’70s period. Diving deep under the North Sea, “Stan retreads further into his self-imposed solitude” and “starts to experience strange events far beneath the waves.” The ultimate decision lying ahead of him will decide whether he stays “lost in the depths forever” or “breaks free to the su...

During his 19-year NBA career, Shaquille O’Neal was a rim-rattling, backboard-breaking, opponent-owning force who — among many other monikers — was dubbed “MDE,” or “most dominant ever” for his unstoppable blend of power and agility. Now, Shaq is bringing his overpowering game to another realm by teaming up with home arcade system manufacturer Arcade1Up for a special NBA Jam: Shaq Edition arcade machine. The special game setup is Arcade1Up’s largest at-home gaming cabinet yet, standing 67 inches tall (not quite as big as Shaq, but nothing to sneeze at) and featuring a 19-inch screen. It comes pre-loaded with NBA JAM, NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION and NBA HANGTIME, and is decked out with Shaq’s famous Dunkman hit — which sneaker lovers will realize as the logo from his signature Reebok sneaker...

Following an exciting announcement back in June, Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland‘s brand new game High on Life has now announced a slightly delayed release date, pushing its intended October launch back to December. A product of Roiland’s very own Squanch Games studio, High on Life takes a comedic spin on first-person shooters, set in a vibrant sci-fi where you’ll take on alien enemies by welding anthropomorphic talking guns. As a human character, you’ll play as a bounty hunter who saves other humans from an alien cartel that’s using them to make drugs. The new gameplay trailer above showcases a boss fight against 9-TORG, and you’ll see how your weapon talks to you with funny quirks while you dodge and shoot your way through your opponent while trapped inside what looks lik...
