Total War developer Creative Assembly is taking the historical war series to Ancient Greece for its next installment, A Total War Saga: Troy. The game arrives on the Epic Games Store later this summer, and we got to see some new footage of it and learn some new details during the PC Gaming Show.

Total War Saga: Troy casts you in the role of Odysseus, who famously invaded the namesake city by arriving inside a giant wooden horse. Creative Assembly says the game will allow you to "rewrite the events of one of the greatest conflicts ever told."

You can launch your attack on Troy in "three ingenious and equally devastating ways," which Creative Assembly says are "all based around prominent theories from throughout the ages as to what the iconic Trojan Horse really resembled."

Nightdive Studios continues its trend of reviving cult-classics with the return of Shadow Man, the 1999 action game originally developed for PC, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation by Acclaim. Now you can experience it again, more than 20 years later, with Shadow Man Remastered for PC.

The first gameplay trailer for the remaster, debuted at the PC Gaming Show, doesn't immediately make clear what work has been done to modernize this classic. Nightdive says that Shadow Man Remastered will run at up to 4K, and features small gameplay tweaks to the game's combat and AI to make it play a little better than the original. Take a look at the gameplay below.

Shadow Man is based on a comic series from Valiant, and features a lot of monsters that you can combat with strange magic. The atmosphere is dark and gloomy, which does mask the game's age rather well while retaining a sense of dread.

During the PC Gaming Show, we got more details on the upcoming remake of the original Mafia, the open world action game that first came out in 2002. Mafia: Definitive Edition is built from the ground up with new assets, gameplay mechanics, cinematic shots, and cutscene dialogue. The game will follow the exact story beats as the original game.

The open world city of Lost Heaven is modeled after Chicago in the 1930s, and Definitive Edition features a completely rebuilt version of the setting. You'll notice things such as widened streets, smoother street layouts (reducing the number of sharp 90-degree turns). Since you do a lot of driving in Mafia, car handling and road grip has been revamped and reacts to weather conditions.

A new story trailer featuring in-game cutscenes and gameplay was also revealed; you can watch the trailer below.

Everspace 2, the open-world galactic dogfighting game from Rockfish Games has had more information revealed about it at the PC Gaming Show. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, it's slated to come to PC in 2021.

The upcoming sequel to the original Everspace is set to be yet another romp through space, though it has a number of notable departures from its predecessor. Everspace 2 will allow pilots to enjoy combat in the atmosphere of planets for the first time, adding a wealth of new environments to your intergalactic experience.

If you're someone who loves to explore the furthest reaches of space, then you'll be able to do just that. Everspace 2 will include a number of new star systems that you can jet around in, whether it's in hot pursuit of another rogue pilot or just because you're wanting to have a scenic space trip.

Gunfire Games' Remnant: From The Ashes was an intriguing mix of third-person shooter gameplay with mechanics inspired by Dark Souls. Following the Swamps of Corsus DLC, which brought players to a new realm and introduced the game's roguelike survival mode, the developers have announced the next and final expansion for the dungeon-crawling shooter. Set for release on August 20 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the Subject 2923 expansion for Remnant will introduce an expanded campaign that will take you to new areas of the corrupted Earth.

Serving as the capper for Remnant: From The Ashes, Subject 2923 will be the most significant expansion to the game, bringing in new areas, bosses, quests, and even with more loot to collect. In the newly released trailer and gameplay, we see the survivor explore one of the new zones set in an icy wasteland filled with anthropomorphic scavengers and deities inspired by Norse mythology.

The larger story of Subject 2923 will focus on the mystery of the beginning of the Dreamer Program, a major plot point from the base game, along with the growing conflict with invading force known as The Root. Before the reveal, we spoke with David Adams, president of Gunfire Games, about the making of Subject 2923 and how Remnant has evolved since its release in 2019.

We've seen upcoming third-person looter-slasher title Godfall running on PlayStation 5, thanks to a trailer shown during Sony's PS5 reveal event. Now we have a sense of how PC will handle the next-gen game, with a new gameplay trailer shown during the PC Gaming Show livestream.

The new trailer not only shows the game running on PC, it also gives more of a sense of what Godfall will be like and how it'll play. It's set in a new high-fantasy universe, where the world is divided into the elemental realms of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. You're a Valorian knight, a "godlike warrior" and a master of melee combat, thanks to special armor called Valor Plates. These legendary pieces of armor give you access to a variety of different melee skills.

Check out the trailer below to see Godfall in action on PC.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination, the sequel to the cult-classic super villain lair simulator, finally received its first gameplay trailer during the PC Gaming Show.

If you've been craving something similar to the original, then Evil Genius 2 seems to deliver just that. The gameplay shows a multi-floor lair hidden within a volcano, ripe for you to fill with evil henchmen and cartoonish contraptions. You'll have to manage both the layout of your secret base and its defenses, ensuring pesky little spies don't make it in to foil your dastardly plans.

Although a specific release date was not revealed, Evil Genius 2 is still scheduled to launch sometime in 2020. And you can expect more updates soon, with the game set to feature again during the Guerrilla Collective stream on June 14, and again on June 17 with an extensive developer update on the project.

The arrival of Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey was announced earlier this week though the PC Gaming Show has now given us more details around when this DLC will be available and what it will contain. It's not just about soaring through the stars--now, players will have the ability to traverse planets on foot with friends, and more.

Odyssey takes the game's previous focus on starships and mission-based gameplay and transposes it into an entirely different landscape. Game director Piers Jackson spoke to the DLC's focus during the PC Gaming Show, noting that one of the team's main goals here is to enable players to "take the journey from space down to the planet's surface."

This DLC will both add new content and showcase a number of redesigned aspects when it comes to the base game. Spaceflight will remain a core part of the Elite: Dangerous experience but now, you'll have the opportunity to actually set foot on the new worlds that you discover. Players will be able to discover planets and explore their surfaces, both alone and with full multiplayer functionality.

Developer/publisher Atlus officially launched the PC version of Persona 4 Golden, the iconic JRPG in the long-running franchise. Leaks surfaced via Steam's database earlier in the week, but now it's official: the once PlayStation Vita exclusive now lives on a new platform. The Steam page for P4G just went live.

Persona 4 Golden (2012) is the revamped version of the original Persona 4 that came out PlayStation 2 back in 2008. This new PC port features graphics options to make a visually dated game look better than before--there are options for resolution, anisotropic filtering, resolution scale, shadow quality, and anti-aliasing. The game will also run at much higher frame rates.

One major feature that wasn't in the original release or P4G on Vita: Japanese voice overs. Although the English voice cast is great and brought these characters to life, this is the first time the west can experience the game in Japanese. Otherwise, the rest of P4G remains intact. But what matters most is the fact that this emotional rollercoaster of a game is accessible to a much wider audience, seeing as how the PS Vita (and PSTV) is a discontinued platform.

The Guerrilla Collective Digital Games Celebration is a multi-day livestream showing off the latest games releasing this year and beyond. The Day 1 event, the Guerrilla Collective stream, which included the Kinda Funny Showcase and Paradox Insider, was a solid start for the livestream, and there's much more to come in the days ahead.

In the opening hours, we saw reveals for games like the System Shock remake, Baldur's Gate III, and even Vampire: The Masqurade: Bloodlines 2. There's was a lot to take in during this livestream, so for your connivence, GameSpot has put together a roundup all of the latest trailers that were revealed. Throughout the event, we'll be updating this article to add in new trailers shown off during the show. So with that, here's everything that was revealed during the event so far.

During the PC Gaming Show, DayZ creator Dean Hall debuted his new game, Icarus. The survival game set in space focuses on resource-gathering and building settlements, with a few key ways it aims to set itself apart.

In an interview, Hall said the team is trying to recapture the tense experience of first starting out in a survival game, when you're just beginning to find your footing. To that end, it focuses on "session-based" survival, so you'll always need to be scrapping from session to session.

To begin with your sessions dropping onto the planet will be pretty brief, but they'll get progressively longer and more difficult. Depending on how long you make your session, your goals might shift with elements like day-night cycles and resource scarcity. You'll also be able to invite your friends over to your orbital ship as a social space.

Niantic has a ton of events lined up for Pokemon Go this month, including the returning solstice celebration and the bug-themed Bug Out. Now the studio has shared more details about the upcoming events, including what Pokemon and bonuses will be available during each.

Solstice Event

This year's solstice event kicks off on Friday, June 19, at 8 AM local time and runs until 10 PM local time on June 24. Throughout the event, Pokemon associated with the sun and moon--such as Clefairy, Sunkern, and others--will appear in the wild much more often than normal, and you'll have a chance to catch a Shiny Clefairy in the wild.

Naturally, Lunatone and Solrock will also be featured during the solstice event. Each is normally only available in certain regions, but they'll be appearing in three-star Raids and hatching from 5 km eggs in all regions. The Pokemon will also be swapping locations at different points throughout the event. You can see their spawn schedule below. Note that all times listed are local.

Torchlight 3 has had quite a transformation since its time as Torchlight Frontiers, and players will finally be able to get their hands on the retooled action-RPG today. Announced during the PC Gaming Show, Torchlight 3 has entered Steam's Early Access program on PC, and it's available at a discounted $30 USD price.

The first two acts of Torchlight 3 will be available initially, including boss battles, over 100,000 pieces of loot, and randomly generated environments. The amount of content will continue to increase as development on the game progresses.

"Player feedback is incredibly important to us, and we look forward to working with the community as we continue to expand Torchlight 3 to make it the best Torchlight title yet," said Torchlight co-founder and Echtra Games CEO Max Schaefer in the announcement.

No Place For Bravery has been announced during a stream by The Guerrilla Collective, and it's an intense action-RPG with a 2D pixel art style and plenty of violence. The game, which is due in early 2021, is coming to both Switch and PC via Steam.

The game is the debut title from Glitch Factory Games, and will be published by Ysbryd Games (Va-11 Hall-A, World of Horror). It's set in a world where humanity has largely collapsed, and has rebuilt a Medievalist society. You play as Thorn, a warrior whose daughter is kidnapped, and you'll be seeking revenge and rescue.

The game is inspired by Norse mythology, and features combo-heavy combat, and Thorn is assisted by his foster son, Phid, on his quest.

You can watch the debut trailer below.

Frostpunk is getting a new expansion for citizens of New London. Frostpunk: On The Edge is a prequel expansion that shows what happened just before the icy apocalypse. It will feature new gameplay mechanics in the larger map and in the city itself.

A teaser trailer was shown alongside the presentation during Guerrilla Collective Live, but little else was revealed about the expansion. However, a Frostpunk board game is also on the way from the creators of both the Nemesis and This War of Mine board games. A Kickstarter will be available this fall, and it will feature challenging gameplay and morally complex decisions.

GameSpot has officially kicked off Play For All--a celebration of all things gaming. Join us as we bring you the summer's hottest news, previews, interviews, features, and videos, as well as raise money for COVID-19 relief efforts and Black Lives Matter with the help of our friends from around the gaming world. Check out the Play For All schedule for more.

Dwarf Fortress, the incredibly complex strategy and simulation game originally released in 2006, is finally getting a graphical overhaul that transforms the previous ASCII style to something more traditional. And during the Guerrilla Collective showcase, developer Bay 12 Games showed it off for the first time.

Bay 12 Games has brought in dedicated modders of Dwarf Fortress to help with the graphical overhaul, which is seeking to replace many of the text-heavy elements from the original with visual elements that help convey information better. The walkthrough below shows dwarfs in different clothing colors and styles, as well as well-defined pathways, settlements, and more.

Dwarf Fortress simulates a civilization over hundreds of in-game years, letting you influence how it unfolds. Maps are procedurally generated, but how you choose to deploy settlements within them can lead to surprising results.

The Guerrilla Collective showcase kicked off with a look at a few enticing new titles coming soon to PC and other platforms. Following a fresh gameplay trailer for System Shock Remastered, we got our first glimpse at a dark new co-op game from Versus Evil called Almighty: Kill Your Gods.

Much like Monster Hunter, a major component of Almighty is teaming up with other hunters to bring down giant, grotesque monsters. The hunters are able to glide through the air, sprint on all fours, and use melee and projectile attacks to attack their foes, and it appears you'll be able to harvest their parts. In the gameplay clip, we see hunters carrying severed arms, hearts, and other objects back to town.

During the first day of the Guerrilla Showcase, developer Gamious released a new trailer for its upcoming adventure game Lake. The game sees you take control of a postal worker in 1986 Providence Oaks, Oregon.

"You take on the role of 40-something Meredith Weiss, who returns to her beautiful hometown Providence Oaks in Oregon," Gamious writes on Steam. "She exchanges her busy career job to temporary fill in for her dad, a mail carrier."

The developer continues: "Meredith has an eventful two weeks. She meets lots of new people, gets into romances, helps prevent the construction of apartments, gets reconnected with her bff, rats or bails out a colleague, and gets pushed by her boss back home to recommit to her career job."

The noir western action game West of Dead is coming next week, developer Raw Fury announced during the Guerrilla Collective presentation. During a segment devoted to games coming out in June, a new trailer debuted with a release date of June 18 for PC and Xbox One.

In a follow-up tweet, Raw Fury also announced that Switch and PS4 versions of the fast-paced twin-stick shooter will be coming in August.

West of Dead takes place in Purgatory, Wyoming in the year 1888, and features Ron Perlman as the narrator and main character William Mason. It has a stylistic high-contrast art style, and the protagonist has a flaming skull that looks reminiscent of the Marvel comic character Ghost Rider.

Sometimes, you get really attached to your weapons in a game--after all, you and your particularly cool swords or guns go through a lot together as you carve a path through your enemies. Boyfriend Dungeon, shown off during The Guerrilla Collective indie games showcase, takes the concept of really liking your dungeon-crawling equipment a step further, with a dating simulator that lets you spend time with your weapons to level them up and make them more powerful.

Boyfriend Dungeon is part isometric RPG, part dating simulator. You'll delve into a dungeon, trying to get as far as you can as you hack and slash your way through enemies for money. Though you'll die along the way, you'll level up and retain experience to help you get further on your next try. But the real way you gain power is by going on dates. The weapons you find in the "dunj" transform into men, women, and non-binary people, so when you're not using them to slay various strange monsters, you can grow your romantic relationships with them. The more you develop your relationship with your weapons, the stronger they become.

You'll alternate between hanging out with your weapons around the town of Verona Beach, before delving back into the dungeon for more fighting. As you spend more time hanging out with your weapons, you'll unlock new combat abilities for use in the dungeon, and each weapon has "different upgrades to find and choices to make along the way." You'll also have to figure out each weapon's preferences for dates, gifts, and other interactions.

Baldur's Gate 3 was shown during the Guerrilla Collective Live event on June 13. The long-awaited sequel builds on BioWare's classic CRPG games, and it's planned to launch in Early Access in August.

A new trailer was released alongside the news, which you can view below to get a sense of the game's changes compared to earlier installments. The trailer featured pre-alpha footage, including our first look at gameplay. Should the team be able to record enough motion capture footage with its current setup, it will meet its August release, and the visuals have even improved since its first showing.

Changes have been made to the initiative system to make combat more engaging and the narrator has been altered due to feedback.

We got a fresh look at System Shock Remastered during the Guerrilla Collective conference. The trailer showed a variety of exploration and combat encounters, set against jazzy tunes. It noted that this is alpha footage subject to change, and ended by encouraging players to try the alpha demo.

Most recently, Nightdive Studios released a demo for the remastered game on Steam, and promised more news in June. It's unclear if this trailer was promoting a new demo or the existing one.

System Shock Remastered has been in development for some time, having been delayed out of its original 2018 release window following a successful crowdfunding campaign. It's slated to come out sometime this year, but a release date hasn't been announced.

Hello everyone! Jordan here. GameSpot went into June with plans to kick off Play For All, a combo platter of gaming celebration and charity effort to raise money for COVID-19 relief. And we're still doing that, don't worry. But there's a lot more going on in the world than COVID-19 right now. Cities across the US are now witness to massive protests against the ongoing violence towards black individuals suffering police brutality. In support of the protests, GameSpot has shifted the message of Play For All. We're still raising money for COVID-19 relief, but we want to also show our support and raise money for Black Lives Matter.

If you were looking forward to jumping into the first Trials of Osiris weekend of Destiny 2's new Season of Arrivals, we've got some bad news. Bungie has disabled the mode in order to deal with a bug that's broken the rewards for the mode, and it'll stay offline for the rest of the inaugural weekend of Season 11.

According to Bungie, the bug messes things up for players who achieve a flawless "Trials Passage," the card that tracks wins in the highly competitive multiplayer mode. In Trials, your goal is to win seven multiplayer matches before losing a total of three, but you get the best rewards come if you manage seven wins and no losses--a flawless run.

When that happens, you get access to a special social space called the Lighthouse, where you get some of the best rewards in Destiny 2. But the new bug plaguing the game is disrupting things for players who go flawless, preventing them from reaching the Lighthouse.

The PlayStation 5 reveal event was our first look at the next-gen console from Sony, in more ways than one. Though it did feature a short introduction from CEO Jim Ryan, and occasional brief statements from studio heads and other developers, it was mostly a trailer showcase. As Ryan said, the company wanted to let the games speak for themselves, and they did.

What followed was nearly an hour of trailer after trailer showing Sony's next-gen lineup. It included first-party exclusives like Horizon Forbidden West and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and served as the debut for some big third-party games like Hitman 3 and Deathloop. It all ended with a trailer showing off he hardware design itself, finally answering the outstanding question of what the PlayStation 5 looks like.

You can catch up with all of the PS5 games shown, but if you just want to watch the trailers, we've compiled them all below. Many of these are in 4K, while the stream itself was limited to 1080p/30FPS due to technical considerations stemming from Sony working from home. As such, here's your chance to see them in all their glory.

This episode of New Releases is taking an overall look at June, and the new month is bookended by free-to-play games. Riot Games' Valorant is leaving beta for its full release as the month begins, and the cartoony Ninjala arrives as the month wraps up. June also brings us two major remasters: SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated and the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. Last but certainly not least, the long-anticipated Last of Us Part 2 is finally launching soon.

Valorant -- June 2

Available on: PC

The beta is over by the time you're reading this, but Valorant will be free-to-play for everyone soon. The team shooter pits attackers and defenders each other in a series of rounds, and each characters' unique abilities can totally turn the tide of battle. It's also important to note that ranks will reset for the full launch, so any beta progress you might have won't carry over.

AT&T is reportedly looking to sell its Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, according to a report by CNBC. The deal could reach $4 billion, according to sources, who asked to not be named by CNBC.

Take-Two, EA, and Activision Blizzard have all reportedly expressed interest in buying the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, but no deals have been made or are close to completion. Many of the video games tied with the gaming division are related to Warner Bros.-owned properties, including Batman, Harry Potter, and The Lego Movie, meaning that a deal might involve a licensing agreement where AT&T continues to profit from its IP.

Other notable games include Mortal Kombat 11 and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. AT&T is reportedly looking to sell off assets to lessen its $200 billion in debt. AT&T acquired Time Warner in 2018, which included the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

The Pokemon Company is donating at least $5 million to nonprofit organizations worldwide in response to the slaying of George Floyd and the protests that followed. The donations will be given with the purpose of improving the lives of children with a focus on "diversity, equity, and inclusion."

The donations will be made following Pokemon Go Fest 2020, the company announced in a tweet. Pokemon Go developer Niantic also pledged to donate the proceeds from Go Fest 2020, with a $5 million minimum donation.

The Pokemon Company said in a follow-up tweet that it will be sharing a list of the charities receiving the donations. The Pokemon Company previously made donations, alongside companies like EA and Ubisoft, with $100,000 to both the NAACP and Black Lives Matter.

GameStop has an excellent offer running today that can help you snag some great games at an incredibly cheap price. The retailer has included a good number of pre-owned games in its latest 2 for $15 deal. Some of the featured games are Ratchet & Clank, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Monster Hunter World. The 2 for $15 offer only runs for today, so be sure to snag the games you want as soon as possible.

If you're excited after yesterday's PS5 reveal event, then you can catch up on some of the series featured. Ratchet & Clank on the PS4 shows how the two beloved characters met as well as their first adventure together. It's the perfect starter if you're looking forward to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on the PS5. Resident Evil 7, on the other hand, gave us a new protagonist, perspective, and locale that surprised many with how engaging and scary it was. Resident Evil Village continues that story, so it's an excellent time to catch up.

GOG's massive Summer Sale has been going on for some time now, and while it'll come to a close on June 15, it has some especially good deals on offer in its last few days. Notably, The Witcher Universe Collection bundle, which compiles all of The Witcher games, is on sale for its best price ever, saving you $83 on the entire collection. Normally $110, the bundle is available for just $27 right now.

The Witcher Universe Collection gets you The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's Game of the Year Edition, which includes the Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine expansions with up to 50 extra hours of storytelling along with access to all DLC content. The bundle also includes exhanced versions of The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, plus bonus content for each like making of videos, soundtracks, and more. Finally, you'll also receive Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, a narrative-driven single-player game that includes puzzles and card battle mechanics, and The Witcher Adventure Game, a digital adaptation of developer CD Projekt Red's Witcher board game. Each game is also on sale individually, if you're only interested in picking up one or two titles.

Sony has finally shown off the first look at the next-generation of console gaming during its PS5 reveal event, where we also got a glimpse at the system's divisive design. But during the dizzying conference, it might've been difficult to track which of the announced PlayStation 5 games is exclusive to the upcoming console or will eventually make its way to other platforms, namely the Xbox Series X.

So we've rounded up every game that was announced during the PS5 event to help you discern its exclusivity. Among the list, below, seven are full-console exclusives while 12 are timed. This means that, for some period of time, they will be unavailable on other consoles. It's unclear how long these timed exclusives will last, as Sony nor the developers have clarified that yet. However, some--such as Grand Theft Auto V, NBA 2K21, and Resident Evil Village--have already been confirmed as coming to PC and Xbox Series X too.

Every PS5 Game Confirmed (So Far)

Full Exclusive Titles

Predator: Hunting Grounds' free update for June adds new customization options and increases the level cap, developer Illfonic announced in a PlayStation Blog post.

The free June update for the asymmetrical multiplayer title where four soldiers square off with the Predator is live now, making Dutch's QR5 and knife available to all players. The weapons were previously only available with purchase of the Dutch 2025 Pack, which included the weapons and a premium skin featuring Dutch, Arnold Schwarzenegger's character from the 1987 film.

A variety of tints, skins, and shaders have been made available as well. The full list is as follows:

Pokemon Sword and Shield's first DLC expansion, The Isle of Armor, arrives on June 17. Ahead of its release, the Pokemon Home cloud service will be going down for maintenance.

The maintenance period is expected to begin at 2 AM PT / 5 AM ET / 9 AM UTC and last until 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 2 PM UTC, according to a news update within the app. During this time frame, both the Switch and mobile versions of Pokemon Home will be inaccessible, and you'll need to update both versions after the maintenance concludes to continue using them.

Presumably, this update is to accommodate the new Pokemon that are being introduced in Isle of Armor, including the new Legendary, Kubfu, and Galarian Slowbro. That expansion is set to arrive that same day, June 17, and while The Pokemon Company has not yet confirmed when it will go live, it likely won't be too long after the Pokemon Home update.

Xur is back in Destiny 2 for the Season of Arrivals, and it seems the presence of the Pyramid ships has somehow improved his inventory. This week, Xur's Exotic offerings feature random rolls with higher stats than ever before--where his gear's stats used to total in the high 40s or low 50s, they're now averaging 60. Here's what Xur has to offer and where you can find him.

Head to Nessus to find Xur this week, hanging out in Watcher's Grave. For his weapon, Xur is offering Black Talon. Hunters can pick up the Raiden Flux chest armor; for Titans, there's the Synthoceps gauntlets; and for Warlocks, Xur has the Prometheum Spur leg armor.

Xur Location

Start by spawning in at Watcher's Grave and hop on your sparrow. Head northwest toward the center of the area, where you'll spot Calus's golden barge. Climb aboard and look for Xur hanging out on the deck.

With Sony finally revealing the PS5, we were treated to a plethora of new game reveals for the launch and well beyond. So which games can you expect to pick up on day one, and which are still years away?

The large majority of what Sony had to show last night also didn't have firm release dates attached, with many either stating a target release year or nothing entirely. There were a handful penned for Holiday 2020, including Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but many of the PS5's big exclusives, such as Horizon Forbidden West, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and Gran Turismo 7, seemingly won't be ready for launch. Sony has also yet to reveal the price and exact release date of the PS5, and says that news is coming later.

Here's when you can expect to see all the games featured in Sony's PS5 reveal.

Sony's PS5 event on June 11 revealed the sequel to 2017's critically acclaimed RPG Horizon: Zero Dawn will release on PlayStation 5. Horizon: Forbidden West will continue Aloy's story as she travels to new lands, encounters vicious new machines, and investigates some kind of plague threatening the post-apocalyptic world. If you never picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn back at launch--it released just days before the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild, leading some to overlook it--now's a great time to snag a copy and catch up on the story.

As part of PlayStation's Days of Play sale, Horizon: Zero Dawn's Complete Edition is on sale for 50% off at multiple retailers including Amazon, down to $10 from its usual $20. This is the best version of the game to buy as it gets you the base game along with its excellent Frozen Wilds expansion, which follows Aloy to a brand-new area with a new storyline, new gear and weapons, and even deadlier machines. The Complete Edition also gets you several in-game bonus outfits and item packs as a digital artbook.

Sony revealed a ton of next-gen news during its PS5 reveal event, including the design of the PlayStation 5 itself. And while we finally know what the console looks like--and its design is certainly divisive, to say the least--one mystery among many is just how big the console is, both on the entertainment center and when compared to other systems out right now. Sony hasn't detailed specific dimensions yet, but gaming fans have taken to doing the legwork necessary to cull together some semblance of size for the upcoming PS5.

To say that it's "huge" would be an understatement, if the myriad unofficial dimensions floating around the internet are anything to go by. A side-by-side comparison done by game consultant Callum Underwood on Twitter, in which he compares the sizes of modern consoles by their disc drives and USB ports, shows that the PlayStation 5 is a "big big boi." It's even bigger than the PlayStation 3, which was also massive for its time.

GungHo Online Entertainment's free-to-play ninja brawler, Ninjala, is shaping up as a quirky and unorthodox approach to 8-player multiplayer gameplay. While it has similar vibes to Nintendo's Splatoon, Ninjala leans heavily into its suite of bubblegum-based ninja powers that players can use to leap, wall-run, and fly across various maps to get the upper-hand against their enemies in battle. Ninjala's more significant focus is on its online gameplay; however, the developers have plans in store for a single-player story mode and new content beyond the game's launch on June 24 for the Nintendo Switch.

In an exclusive with GameSpot for our Play For All event, developer GungHo Online Entertainment has shared the first gameplay for Ninjala's story mode add-on for the free-to-play game, along with a trailer revealing what's to come in updates for the game in season 1. Ninjala's story mode will be a premium add-on for the free-to-play game. As of right now, the price for the single-player content hasn't been set.

With an evolving story told through comic book-style panels, you'll dive into standalone missions that have you use your ninja-gum powers to explore levels and battles foes. Playing the story mode will also earn you additional rewards, which can be used to customize and upgrade your characters for online battles. GungHo Online offered the first glimpses of Ninjala's narrative in the first episode of an animated short series earlier this year. The developers plan on keeping the plot progressing in the future. GungHo Online CEO and president Kazuki Morishita stated that the game's story and narrative would expand after its launch.

The official Xbox website has leaked Star Wars: Squadrons, an as-of-yet unannounced game likely scheduled for reveal at EA's postponed Play event. The banner features a pre-order button, but the store page for the title is currently not live.

Earlier this year another Star Wars game, titled Project Maverick, leaked on PSN. It was reportedly the same game that had been mentioned in a report by Kotaku in February, who stated that EA Motive was working on a "smaller, more unusual" Star Wars project.

Judging by the leaked image, Squadrons will likely focus on aerial space combat, given that both Rebel and TIE fighter pilots are featured prominently. The last Star Wars game to focus solely on space combat was Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, although EA's Star Wars Battlefront series has featured multiplayer modes with just aerial dogfights.

Pokemon Sword and Shield's first expansion, The Isle of Armor, launches next week, but you can snag one more free Pokemon before then. The Pokemon Company is giving away a free Galarian Meowth with its Hidden Ability, along with a handful of valuable items.

Galarian Meowth's Hidden Ability is Unnerve, which prevents the opposing Pokemon from eating a held berry. This week's free item bundle, meanwhile, includes 100 large Exp. Candies--good for leveling a Pokemon up quickly--as well as 50 Big Gold Nuggets, which can be sold at shops for a tidy sum.

To claim the freebies, select Mystery Gift from the menu screen and follow these steps:
