If Doom Eternal and Rock Band merged into one game, it might look like Metal: Hellsinger, a heavy metal, rhythm-based FPS that lets you build up a score multiplier as you shoot and kill the monsters of Hell to the rhythm of the metal music. Metal: Hellsinger is due to be released in 2021 on PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

The 2D arena shooter lets players manipulate gravity, loot randomly dropped weapons and power-ups as they fight off hordes of robotic enemies. Tackle the campaign alone or with up to three more players locally and get your name on the leaderboard in Q1 2021!

Fuelling 80’s and 90’s nostalgia with an electrifying soundtrack and stylistically popping art style, Gravity Heroes promises diverse arcade action! Gravity Shifter, the game's main mechanic, allows you to evade and shoot enemies while walking on the ceiling, the walls or just floating around.

Publisher and developer tinyBuild is excited to NOT announce its very own NON-E3 NON-PRESS CONFERENCE where NO games are expected to be revealed except for a new Hello Guest game and perhaps five other highly anticipated non-games.

Season 2 will start the following week, on June 23rd, introducing a new set of seasonal manhunt targets for you to track down and eliminate alongside a host of seasonal activities throughout the season. The pre-season week will allow you to get acquainted with the new changes before kicking off the new Manhunt and start progressing through the Season Levels. A dedicated article containing all the Season 2 details will be published closer to the start of the season, so keep an eye out on our social media channels!

Operation Iron Horse will launch late June, as we want to give players the chance to get raid-ready by gearing up, optimizing their builds and get some more SHD Levels. As we previously said, we think this time to prepare will be very helpful for players coming back with TU10 and allows an even playing field for everybody wanting to tackle the Raid. We will update you on the exact release timing of the Level 30 and 40 normal mode Raid in the coming weeks, as well as when you can expect the Discovery Mode for Operation Iron Horse.

Medic: Pacific Corpsman is a single-player FPP adventure simulation game offering a unique take on the Pacific War, inspired by historic events, movies, and TV series such as Pearl Harbor, Hacksaw Ridge, Midway, Saving Private Ryan, and The Pacific. Become a true hero. Survive the horrors of the battlefield, dodge bullets, and bring salvation to the wounded. Be their last hope in the chaotic reality of the Pacific Front. Resuscitate, patch up, and carry soldiers to safety, all to change the course of the battle. Most importantly, be ready for the hardest choice every medic must make: decide who lives and who dies. Resources are limited, time is running out, and not everyone’s chances of survival are equal.

The PC Gaming Show will return this Saturday, June 13 at 11 AM Pacific, with the biggest lineup in its six-year history. More than two dozen participants will take part in reveals, trailers, and interviews that will include a chat with Rocketwerkz founder Dean Hall about what's coming next from the studio, a first look at Surgeon Simulator 2, a Torchlight 3 surprise, and (this is one I'm personally looking forward to) a brand-new trailer from Dusk and Amid Evil publisher New Blood Interactive.

We are excited to be able to announce that, starting tomorrow, PlayStation 4 players, Xbox One players and PC players will all be able to explore, journey, survive, build, and trade together. Excitingly, No Man’s Sky is joining what is at the moment a fairly small group of games which support cross-platform multiplayer.

A tremendous amount of work has gone into this update and the underlying technology and systems. We’ve moved to an entirely new networking architecture, with more flexibility for the future, allowing players to play together regardless of platform. I’m very proud of the team that has worked so hard to make this happen.

Meanwhile we are continuing to work hard on new content updates, large and small for the future.
