Sony leaked one of its own major announcements. Its PlayStation Direct site revealed The Last of Us Part 1 for the PlayStation 5 and PC. The storefront only featured a product page for the PS5 version of the game, which will be out on September 2, 2022. A trailer, which is still available online at the time of writing, mentions a PC version is “also in development.” [Thanks, Modiz at Resetera!]

The trailer begins by showing the world while Joel talks about Ellie. It then shows snippets of gameplay and cutscenes. It notes that Naughty Dog rebuilt The Last of Us Part 1 for the PS5.

The leaked PlayStation Direct product page also showed the box art for the base game and a Firefly Edition. The Firefly Edition will be a PlayStation Direct exclusive version. Its description noted people get the base game and Left Behind prequel in a SteelBook case. (People will apparently get Left Behind with the standard version of the game as well.) There are also reprints of The Last of Us: American Dreams prequel comic starring Ellie and Riley.

Want to know if The Last of Us Part 1 is coming to PC? Well, you aren’t the only one, as many PC players would like to get their hands on the remaster of this beloved PlayStation exclusive. Here is everything you need to know about if it is coming.

Is The Last of Us (TLOU) Part 1 Coming to PC?

The quick answer is, yes, The Last of Us Part 1 remaster is coming to PC. This news was confirmed earlier today when Sony accidentally leaked the video that will be presented at the PlayStation Direct later today. In the trailer, it was revealed that the game was in development for PC, though no release date has been given at this time.

We will be sure to update this article as soon as an actual release date is provided.

That’ll do it for everything you need to know about if The Last of Us Part 1 is coming to PC. If you’re still on the hunt for more info about the game, be sure to check out the rest of Twinfinite to see the rest of our guides, which have plenty of tips, tricks, and FAQs.

There should also be some more Last of Us-related content down below that you may find helpful, as well as some other news for the game.

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us was a huge hit back when it was released in 2013, and it quickly got a Remastered version for the PS4 the following year. And now, it’s getting re-released yet again for the PS5 and PC with some nice upgrades. Here’s a breakdown of all the changes in The Last of Us Part 1 on PS5 that we know about so far.

The Last of Us (TLOU) Part 1 PS5 Changes

At the time of writing, the PS5 remaster of The Last of Us has just been announced, so details on all the upgrades and changes are a little scant. That said, here are all of the changes that Sony and Naughty Dog have revealed so far:

• Name change: The Last of Us Part I, instead of just, The Last of Us
• Modernized gameplay
• Improved controls
• Expanded accessibility options
• Improved effects
• Enhanced exploration and combat

This might all sound like the usual PR fluff, but we can probably assume that The Last of Us Part 1 will likely play a lot similarly to The Last of Us Part 2, which had much better stealth and combat controls. In addition to that, while we likely won’t see a huge graphical leap, players can expect to enjoy better-looking environments and more details and effects in the surroundings.

This release will include the base game, as well as the Left Behind DLC centering around Ellie and Riley.

Among Us VR was announced last December during the Game Awards. We got a very brief glimpse of the playable space map, The Skeld, and that’s about it. Today, during the Upload VR showcase at Summer Game Fest, a hilarious gameplay trailer premiered and revealed the release period for Innersloth’s popular party game. You can watch the footage below. 

In the trailer, crewmates discuss the imposter’s identity in the Cafeteria, using their hands to emote in increasingly ridiculous ways. Like in the original game, players run around the various facilities of the arena, completing small minigames to repair or organize the scattered points of interest. The change to 3D suits the loop well and adds to the tension; there will probably be plenty of jumpscares to go around. 

Like many of you, we loved the original game, scoring it an 8.5 out of 10: 

“Among Us released over two years ago, but the jellybean/astronaut online game is currently seeing a massive surge in popularity that began in early September. The world may have started out quarantine by playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a wholesome game about friendship and taking care of our islands, but after many months of pandemic life, we’re hungry for the void of space filled with chaos and deceit.”

Today Sony Interactive Entertainment erroneously published details about a remaster of The Last of Us titled The Last of Us Part 1.

The details were published alongside the announcement trailer on the official website of PlayStation Direct, found by Resetera user modiz.

We learn that the remaster is coming for PS5 on September 2, 2022, and it’s also in development for PC. That being said, a release date for PC has not been shared.

The official description also mentioned that a Firefly Edition will include the DLC Left Behind, The Last of Us: American Dreams #1 – #4 comics reprints with new cover art, and early in-game unlocks.

On top of that, it won’t just be a pure remaster, as several gameplay enhancements have been teased.

You can check out the trailer showing the visuals on PS5 below.

“Get The Last of Us Part I Firefly Edition, only available to buy as an exclusive directly from PlayStation.

Experience the emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters of Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us, winner of over 200 Game of the Year awards and now rebuilt for PlayStation 5.

Detailed-yet-relaxing village builder Ostriv isn't far off one of my favourite games. Entirely unrelatedly, I had Tile Cities installed for about a month before finding time to play it.

Except, it's not unrelated at all. It's the game that Ostriv developer Yevheniy made while suffering through the invasion of Ukraine, "to switch my mind from death and destruction towards peace and creativity". I'd be recommending it for sure even if I hadn't found that out, because it's a terrific little game that's far more engaging than it looks.

PlayStation Direct was recently (and inadvertently, it seems) updated with information on The Last of Us Part I, a remake of the original Naughty Dog adventure game “built from the ground up” for PlayStation 5 and releasing on September 2. It’s also coming to PC at a later date. Everything is gone now, but the…

UPDATE 10/06/22: Following last night's (official) reveal of The Last of Us Part 1 for PlayStation 5, Sony has shared a few videos showing off the difference between the Remastered version of the game and the upcoming remake.

First up, we have Joel.

Next, it's Ellie's turn in the spotlight.

Once upon a time, game demos were ubiquitous. Hell, for a blissful but fleeting moment in the early 2000s, even Nintendo got in the habit of regularly releasing GameCube preview discs. The discs, 3.1 inches in diameter, would make a handful of trials available for buzzy games. But like Heelys, low-rise jeans,…

The heavily rumored remake of The Last Of Us has seemingly leaked online, and it hits PlayStation 5 on Sept. 2.

This news comes from Wario64 on Twitter, who seemingly spotted a link to PlayStation Direct that houses pre-orders for the game, which is now called The Last Of Us Part 1, and its reveal trailer. As you might expect, it looks gorgeous. The remake will also include the entire game and the Left Behind DLC. Plus, it's also in development for PC, but it doesn't seem like the PC release will be happening simultaneously with the PS5 release. 

You can check out the trailer for yourself below: 

The pre-order page reveals the standard PS5 edition will cost $69.99, while the special Firefly Edition will cost $99.99. It's unclear what the Firefly Edition will contain, as the page linked to it in Wario64's tweet no longer takes you to The Last Of Us Part 1. 

Here's a blurb of the game Wario64 caught on the listing: 

People worldwide can now play a new Nintendo Switch otome game from Voltage. The company released Even If Tempest on the eShop. In addition to being available in Japan, folks can find it on the North American and European storefronts.

While Even If Tempest is an otome visual novel, it also features some adventure elements due to its presentation. Players follow Anastasia, a woman who is accused of being a witch. When found guilty at trial, she’s burned at the stake. That’s when she gains the Fatal Rewind ability that allows her to turn back time to prevent disasters and discover the truth behind what happened to her. After Anastasia uses Fatal Rewind, she’ll go through investigations and trials. As you prepare for a trial, you’ll work with various love interests. You'll also be able to access a flowchart to help plot events happening in the story.

Here’s opening movie for Voltage’s latest otome game.

Even If Tempest is available for the Nintendo Switch worldwide.

It’s time to pay the piper. Dwarf Fortress, the extraordinary, free roguelike that has blossomed into a total fantasy life simulator, was an inspiration for monoliths like Minecraft and Rimworld. It’s twenty years old this year, and due to come to Steam sometime soon. However, right now, its two-person development…

Today the Japanese website Dengeki Online revealed new gameplay of the upcoming Trails JRPG The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II – Crimson Sin.

We get to see four characters in action, protagonist Van Arkride, heroine Elaine Auclair, and Gralsritter Dominions Celis Ortesiae and Rion Balthazar.

On top of normal battles, we also get to see their S-Craft abilities and more.

Want to know what the download and install size is for Mario Strikers Battle League? Well, you aren’t alone, as many avid Nintendo Switch players that get the game want to know if they’ve got enough storage room to play it. Here is everything you need to know about how big the game is.

What is the Download and Install Size for Mario Strikers Battle League

Currently, the download and installation size for Mario Strikers Battle League is 1.8GB on our review copy of the game. However, day one patches and other updates will likely bring it up to the 3GB that is currently showing up on the Nintendo eShop.

Future updates could also increase the size of the download over time, so we will be sure to keep this post updated, especially if any DLCs for the game come out. For now, though, just be thankful that it’s a pretty small game, as it’ll give you more room for titles like Breath of the Wild.

That’ll do it for everything you need to know about the download and install size for Mario Strikers Battle League. If you’re still on the hunt for more info about the game, be sure to check out the rest of Twinfinite to see the rest of our guides, which have plenty of tips, tricks, and FAQs.

Even though Fortnite’s Chapter 3 Season 2 is over, there are still vestiges of it all over the map. You can also see remnants of the massive robot battle that took place during the Collision event. You’ll have to hunt these down as we deal with how to dance at different crashed IO airships in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.

How to Dance at Different Crashed Airships in Fortnite

You’ll find this challenge in the new Weekly tab that appears to be a replacement for the previous Season label. You have to land and dance at three different crashed IO airships, but there are five still around the map. Their locations seem to be split between those that went down in Chapter 3 Season 2 and those that were wiped out during the Collision event.

Here is the map of those locations, but we will take you closer to all of them so you know what you are looking for in-game.

A couple of months back, reddit user Shin was beavering away at an Elden Ring Game Boy remake.

And now it's out! Available to play on itch.io, the game offers a miniature green-tinged version of the Lands Between - or at least, the Precipice of Anticipation, Northern Limgrave, and Stormveil Castle - presented in a Zelda-inspired top-down fashion.

The game runs in-browser, but Shin recommends using real Game Boy hardware or an Analogue Pocket for saving, better colours, and higher accuracy.

Metal Max Wild West, a new entry in the long-running Metal Max franchise, is canceled. In an announcement posted to the official Metal Max Xeno social media accounts, Kadokawa Games informed its audience that development of the game, scheduled for release in 2022, has been discontinued. Kadokawa also apologized to fans looking forward to the game and partners potentially affected by the cancelation.

No specific reason for the cancelation was given, but the full statement mentioned Kadokawa's consideration of the "current state of development" for the game as a factor in the decision.

https://twitter.com/metalmaxxeno/status/1534853756919361538

Metal Max Wild West was originally announced in 2019 as Metal Max Xeno Reborn 2. According to a 30th Anniversary stream event from 2021, the game would take place after the events of Xeno Reborn and involve a new protagonist restoring a post-apocalyptic city to life. It was themed around the concept of rebuilding, though it would still center around the vehicle-based combat of the series proper (and Xeno in particular).

Today Mundfish released a new story trailer of its dystopian adventure first-person shooter Atomic Heart.

The trailer provides a look at the story and confirms the 2022 release window, hinting that it’s going to be between September and December.

You can check it out below.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Atomic Heart, you can check out an official description below. It’s coming for PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, and PC

“Atomic Heart is an adventure first-person shooter, events of which unfold in an alternative universe, during the high noon of the Soviet Union. The main character of the game is a special agent, who was sent to a highly secret object by the Soviet government after it went radio silent.

Soviet setting with a pitch of insanity, action-packed gameplay and a thrilling story will keep you entertained for the whole duration of your journey into the world of Atomic Heart.

Unfold the secrets, restore peace and order, and show the Motherland what you got!”

While Roblox continues to go from strength to strength, one of the under-the-radar gems on the platform is Tower Heroes, which blends classic tower defense mechanics with addictive collect-’em-up gameplay. Though it’s largely an easy pick-up-and-play experience, it can get pretty challenging, especially on the Medium and Hard settings. Thankfully, though, there’re some codes that can gift players a bunch of handy freebies to help them out. In this guide, we’ll give you a rundown of all the latest codes in Roblox Tower Heroes. Let’s get into it, shall we?

All the Latest Codes in Tower Heroes (June 2022)

Here are all the latest working codes in Tower Heroes:

Another member of the 13 Flame-Chasers will become a playable character in Honkai Impact 3rd. This time, it will be another SP, aka an A-rank, one. The Griseo Starry Impression battlesuit will debut in Honkai Impact 3rd 5.8. There’s also a video starring members of HoYoVerse discussing the character, her development, and how she’ll work.

First, Griseo is the 11th ranked 13 Flame-Chasers member in Honkai Impact 3rd. She’s one of the younger people in the group. She’s also known for being a talented artist. This is referenced in her design, as she comes “equipped” with a brush and palette. In the introduction to her video, she also asks about a place to draw.

G3, Keigh3, not-E3 - whatever you want to call the next few days of gaming events and news, it all kicks off tonight at 7pm as Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest promises us some 90 minutes of updates, reveals and quite likely a good side order of cringe. What to expect? Well, Geoff's said to keep your expectations in check, but that won't stop us wildly speculating anyway. Arms 2? It's happening!

Despite Matthew almost wilfully misunderstanding the topic for this week's Electronic Wireless Show podcast, we manage to settle down and talk about the games we'd most like to have toy sets of. What game d'you think would be the best Lego set? Action figures? Obscure 80s and 90s toy? Oh, we have fun on this show.

Diversions this week are predictably about toys we had as kid, including a very long sidebar about Mighty Max, and Matthew's reverse-engineered Boglin hatred derived from his sad childhood. We also have some obligatory Platty Joobs round-up chat, and there's an unintentionally difficult Cavern Of Lies this week, themed around Funko Pop, because any made up Funko Pop is indistinguishable from a real Funko Pop.

Microsoft laid out some of its big plans for gaming ahead of Sunday’s Xbox and Bethesda showcase, and those plans include a steady stream of more big exclusives, expanded Game Pass perks, and bringing video game cloud streaming directly to smart TVs. Most of the plans are forward-looking, but Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil…

A good headset can make the world of difference to your gaming setup. Not only does it mean you can play late into the night with the volume cranked up without having to worry about keeping your family or neighbors up but get a good one, and the sound quality can be immensely better than that directly from your TV. Here, we’re going to run you through our picks of the best Xbox headsets in 2022 to make sure you make the perfect purchase for yourself.

To help determine our picks, we’ve looked at a few factors here. First up is sound performance to make sure the quality is what you’d expect for the price tag to ensure you’re fully immersed once the cups close around your ears.

Next up we’ve focused on comfortable headsets. Ones that you can keep on your head for hours at a time to ensure your playtime is just as comfy as it is enjoyable. Nobody wants earache midway through an hours-long CoD session now, do they?

Finally, we’ve considered things like battery life (for wireless headsets) and ease of use. A headset is no good if it’s a pain to get connected every time you turn it on or leaves your living room floor looking like a miniature spaghetti junction!

So, without further ado, here are our picks for the best Xbox headsets in 2022.

Microsoft revealed today that a new Xbox app for 2022 Samsung Smart TVs will let Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers stream their games. However, that’s not all the company had to reveal today. 

In a new Xbox Wire blog post, Microsoft discusses Project Moorcroft, which is seemingly its take on the PlayStation Plus Game Trials system launching with the revamped service on June 13. According to the blog post, the program will bring “the fun and discovery of playing new, curated demos of upcoming games to our Xbox Game Pass members,” and it will begin rolling out next year. It will start with “a focus on providing independent developers from around the world more opportunities to build excitement for their games.” 

Xbox says participating developers will be able to see how their demos perform, and the company will compensate them too, “enabling them to bring their creativity to Xbox and reach new audiences with Game Pass.” Xbox also says that later this year, “it’s our intent to roll out the ability for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play, from the cloud, select games they already own or have purchased outside the Xbox Game Pass library.” 

Bandai Namco announced a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R demo when it revealed the fighter’s release date. Now, we know when people can try it before buying it. On June 16, 2022, people can test it out. Only those with a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 can participate. The full game will appear on all consoles and PCs. There’s also a trailer to go with the announcement.

There are limitations to the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R demo. First is that it will only be available for a certain amount of time. Access will be open until June 22, 2022. This is because the two modes will be one dedicated to online multiplayer and another to practicing.

People can also only use four members of the over 50 character roster. Phantom Blood’s Jonathan Joestar, Stardust Crusader’s Jotaro Kujo, Stardust Crusaders’ DIO, and Stone Ocean’s Jolyne Cujoh.

Today Bandai Namco announced that JoJo fans will have a chance to try JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R early on PlayStation consoles.

An early access demo will become playable between June 16 and June 22 for PS5 and PS4.

It’ll include only four characters, Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Dio Brando, and Jolyne Cujoh. You’ll be able to play two modes, online and practice.

The announcement was made with a trailer, which you can watch below.

It’s another week of great discounts and bonuses in GTA Online, as Rockstar offers players the chance to get some sweet rewards. This week is all about Dewbauchee and Överflöd, with discounts on their fleets, as well as opportunities to try out and earn free vehicles all week long.

We’ve got the official breakdown of all of the rewards, bonuses, and discounts for your convenience right down below:

Today Microsoft had news to share about its popular Xbox Design Lab controller customization service.

The service is coming to 11 new countries today, and those are Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia, and Switzerland. Another country will be added later this summer, and it’s Taiwan.

We also hear that new options have been made available, including five different camo patterns Mineral Camo, Arctic Camo, Forest Camo, Sandglow Camo, and Blaze Camo (unfortunately you cannot choose the specific colors of each pattern), and new pastel colors: Soft Pink, Soft Orange, Soft Green, and Soft Purple. 

You can check out a trailer showing off the new options below.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Xbox Design Lab, it’s a service that allows (where available) to pick and choose the colors of each part of a standard Xbox Wireless controller.

You can also add rubberized grips, metallic finishes to some parts, and even a customized name.

The price is between $69.99 for the most basic designs but can float up to $109.93 if you want a full-optional controller with all the bells and whistles.

With Update 5 officially just around the corner, there’s a whole lot to look forward to in Roblox‘s Freeze Simulator game. From double coin events, shiny pet evolutions and pet and hat upgrades to bug fixes, egg hunts and even new shop pets, there’s plenty to get your teeth into right now in the pet-collecting freeze-’em-up experience. If you’re here, you’re likely wondering what all the Freeze Simulator codes are for June 2022. Here’s everything you need to know.

Nintendo offered a chance to hear a song off of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soundtrack. It took to Twitter to share “A Life Sent On.” It also noted that this is a song Noah and Mio would “perform” in-battle. There’s no in-game footage accompanying it. Rather, there’s the image of the Uraya titan and Mechonis in the background instead.

Here is the song taken from the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 soundtrack.

This is "A Life Sent On" from #XenobladeChronicles3. This sombre flute-based melody is played by off-seers Noah and Mio to mourn those who’ve fallen in battle. pic.twitter.com/MYJvfJlKG1

— Nintendo of Europe (@NintendoEurope) June 9, 2022

For reference, both Noah and Mio are off-seers. This means they are part of the respective nations’ armies and fill a certain role. When people die on the battlefield, they play music for them on flutes. Noah does so for Keves, while Mio is an off-seer for Agnus.

Nintendo also offered a closer look at the game in June 2022. It shared a new trailer looking at Aionios and the monsters living there.

Back in September 2021, The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment in Oakland, California, better known as The MADE, began tweeting about how impossibly difficult it seemed to fund a video game museum.

Prison Architect and Darwinia developers Introversion Software have taken to Twitter to announce they’re working on a new spaceship management game, The Last Starship. It’s a procedurally-generated romp through various mission types such as asteroid mining, battling space pirates and rescuing ships in distress, all spread throughout the galaxy. Introversion have quite a bit more to say on what they call their “broken, unfinished and bug filled prototype“ in their announcement video, which you can watch below.

The arena survival shoot 'em up today launched into early access yesterday, and it's a good'un. I already enjoyed the demo, and now it's bigger, fancier, and full of even more ridiculous combos.
