“this one will be well worth it”.
Professional skater Bam Margera has been officially confirmed for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on the Switch and Switch 2.
Margera’s involvement had been in question following a string of legal difficulties in recent years, but a recent report suggested that Tony Hawk himself was responsible for bringing Margera on board. Now, a behind-the-scenes look has provided all the confirmation we need.

If you’ve ever wondered what a prospective Pope does to pass the time, wonder no more; according to a close family member, the recently elected Pope Leo XIV is just like us, playing games and watching movies in his downtime.
As we reported earlier this week, Edward Berger’s sensational papal thriller Conclave took moviegoers by storm last year, prompting some real-life religious leaders — including those who had participated in this week’s actual conclave to select a new Pope — to look to the film for guidance given its “remarkably accurate” portrayal of the process. That included Robert Francis Prevost, who’s just been elected as Pope Leo XIV.
Talking to NBC, the Pope’s older brother, John Prevost, shared details of his last conversation with his brother before he was appointed. In amongst talking about Wordle and Words with Friends — it’s true, Pope Leo XIV is a gamer; the brothers play the word games together every single day — the elder brother asked if his sibling had watched the movie Conclave for tips.
“He had just finished watching the movie Conclave,” Provost revealed. “So he knew how to behave. So, it’s that kind of stuff [that we talk about] — I just wanted to take his mind off of [the upcoming conclave]. Laugh about something.”
From director Edward Berger, the BAFTA and Oscar-winning Conclave follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events — selecting a new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the center of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church.

Alien: Rogue Incursion will get a non-VR release on PC later this year, allowing would-be Colonial Marines access to its Weyland-Yutani black site without first requiring you to force your head inside a pair of microscopic televisions. Subtitled “Evolved Edition” – which feels like a real elbow in the kidneys for VR evangelists – it will sport “even deadlier Xenomorphs and enhanced visuals”. Hopefully, that’ll be enough to juice the VR version’s current Mixed user review consensus on Steam.

Rumours of a Chrono Trigger remake briefly bubbled up before being swiftly pin-popped last week, following a mistranslation of the JRPG‘s writer, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii at a panel. The potion-swilling public were understandably chuffed (you still can’t Google Horii’s name without being served videos of pog-faced excite-os screaming “Chrono Trigger Remake Confirmed!!!”), but it soon turned out that no such remake was actually planned.
Based on a recent interview with Gamereactor at the same event, it sounds like Horii has been considering doing something with Chrono Trigger after all, which isn’t too surprising after Square Enix said they planned to celebrate the game’s 30th anniversary with “various projects” back in March. From Gamereactor:
Grand strategy country crusher Europa Universalis 5 was announced yesterday, revealing a complex century-spanning historical sim. But one thing we still don’t know is the price or how it’ll be sold. If you want to buy the previous game in the series, Europa Universalis 4, you’ll find a slew of subscription models and a big library of DLC alongside the base game. Which might cause some fans to worry that the sequel will launch with some sort of similar subscription model. But this won’t be the case, say developers Paradox Tinto. They’re going to sell it normally. At least for now.
A “cross-buy” offer.
Deltarune will be releasing the same day as the Switch 2 and ahead of the big launch, Toby Fox has provided an update in his latest newsletter about how you’ll be able to access his game on your new Nintendo system.
If you’ve already bought the game on the original Switch, or plan to get it on this platform any time soon, you’ll be able to get it at “no additional cost” on the Switch 2. You’ll need to be using the same Nintendo account on both systems and this offer excludes Japan, where a small payment is required.

“For over 100 million people worldwide”.
The Switch 2 is on the horizon and if you don’t plan on upgrading immediately, once again there’s no need to worry about being left behind (at least for now).

Between wrangling a full-time job and parenting two young kids (including one born smack in the middle of development), I built The Abandoned Planet from a tiny corner of a Florida bedroom that doubles as office, nursery, and general chaos zone. Picture a Moleskine notebook taking up the last bit of empty space on a small desk, each page scribbled with little hand-drawn rooms and arrows mapping every corridor, while my toddler occasionally “helped” by crawling over my laptop. What I optimistically pegged as a one-year passion project stretched into two and a half years of solo dev hustle—coding, drawing, animating, composing the soundtrack, and even conjuring a semi-functional base-7 number system and a bespoke alien alphabet to pepper through the in-game journal and subtitles.
Every pixel in The Abandoned Planet was drawn on my Wacom tablet. I poured over the detailed pixel-art, the frame-by-frame animation, and the eerie soundscape. Movement feels delightfully retro—four-way D-Pad navigation—yet polished with a certain snappiness and dynamic touch. As you progress through this alien world, you decipher cryptic glyphs and pick up bizarre objects. It’s 90s-style adventure nostalgia, reimagined for the modern gamer.
While The Abandoned Planet is a standalone game, it fits into a greater saga following Dexter Stardust: Adventures in Outer Space and hinting at more spacey escapades to come. Every puzzle twist and every scrawled alien symbol traces back to my crowded bedroom-nursery office, which kept development delightfully unpredictable. If you’re craving an adventure that’s as much about exploring a lost civilization as it is celebrating the odd joys of solo game creation, splash down on The Abandoned Planet for your next weekend escape.

Did you know that Stardew Valley is the 21st best-selling game of all time? It’s sold more than Skyrim! At least by the numbers we currently have, anyway. I don’t care all that much about sales figures, but if creator Eric Barone cared more about money, I can only imagine that a sequel would be all but guaranteed. As it turns out though, the developer could actually see himself making a sequel to the beloved farming sim.
