Meanwhile, Steam is offering some of its best sales in years, featuring massive discounts on popular games like Undertale and Doom (2016). The sale also includes Spiritfarer at a significantly reduced price.
In other news, ZA/UM Studio has revealed its next game, Project [C4], a spy RPG that promises to be an exciting addition to the studio’s catalog. However, some fans are skeptical about whether it will live up to the standards set by their critically acclaimed detective RPG, Disco Elysium.
The gaming community is also buzzing with excitement about Battlefield 6, which has leaked footage online and received overwhelmingly positive reactions from players. The game is expected to return to its modern combat roots.
Additionally, PlayStation Plus subscribers can look forward to new games joining the Extra and Premium tiers. This month’s additions include arcade games, retro robot warfare, and more.
Fans of classic RPGs like Chrono Trigger are celebrating its 30th anniversary. The game remains a beloved classic and an inspiration for many developers.
Finally, hunters in Monster Hunter Wilds can now complete hunts in under two seconds, thanks to a recent exploit. While this doesn’t save them any time, it’s certainly entertaining for fans.
Other notable announcements include the possibility of an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake launching as early as next month and the use of generative AI in Dungeons & Dragons content.
