Everyone, stretch your hamstrings. Leg-having simulator Baby Steps got a release date during last night’s PlayStation State of Play. As shown in the trailer below, the game is not so much a “walking sim” as a “walking badly sim”. But hey, that’s what you get from the makers of Getting Over It and Ape Out. It was also revealed that the “hero” of the game is in dire need of the bathroom.
If you missed its appearance last year, Tides Of Tomorrow is a choice-driven adventure game set in a brighter version of Waterworld, and is being made by the team behind road trip adventure Road 96. Last night it was shown off again during the PlayStation State of Play, and this time the studio has stuck their post-apocalyptic harpoons into a release date.
I haven’t yet decided whether the loot tortoise in roguelike deckbuilder Dice Legends looks satisfied or exhausted. Both make sense to me. “He’s grown used to this, but still isn’t thrilled about it,” offered my sister. I would not be thrilled either. Imagine being aware of Pratchett’s world turtle and knowing you’re a glorified ATM by comparison.
“A roguelike deckbuilder, Nic?”, you exclaim with mock interest. “Well, kick me down a well and break out the Vimto we’ve had mouldering in the cellar since the nineties, the last decade in which anyone consumed or thought about Vimto. Haven’t had one of those since the time I went to collect the post forty five seconds ago. Also, the post was two flyers, each advertising a roguelike deckbuilder”. I will not argue with your sage industry analysis, friend, although this one does have a couple of notables that may make the Steam demo an intriguing prospect.
It seemed inevitable after the Tactics Ogre remaster back in 2022, and so it was. Square Enix are remastering Final Fantasy Tactics, the classic strategy-RPG from 1997. It’ll arrive on September 30th, 2025 and there’s a trailer below.
Sci-fi action game Pragmata will be coming out 2026, say developers Capcom during this evening’s PlayStation showcase. The trailer seemingly contains a stark warning for those using generative AI: keep doing so and eventually you’ll have to befriend a creepy cyborg little girl in order to fight back against a horde of futurebots that want to murder you for some reason. Think about it, next time you’re using ChatGPT to do your homework.
You’ll find the new trailer below.
A game that sees you forcibly kidnapped, smuggled aboard a mega yacht dubbed The Avarice, and made to play demon billionaires at lethal dice poker just got a new trailer, and it looks as funky as you’d expect. Dead Finger Dice: A Billionaire Killing Game is its uber-snappy name, and it’s coming to Steam this summer.
Psychroma and Raptor Boyfriend developers Rocket Adrift Games released a trailer for this roguelike dice builder as part of yesterday’s The Mix showcase, and as soon as I clapped my eyes on it, I was intrigued.
Witcher fans have naturally been busy poring over The Witcher 4’s tech demo in search of interesting details beyond the big obvious teases. One group on Reddit reckon their ears picked up the voice of Witcher 3 actor Richard Hawley.
Hawley voiced a few characters in Gerry from the Riviera’s RPG clash with the Wild Hunt, with Caleb Menge, Francis Bedlam, and Redanian schemer Sigismund Dijkstra all boasting his dulcet tones. It’s that last one that’ll likely have lodged the actor’s voice into your brain.
If you caught The Witcher 4‘s tech demo at yesterday’s Unreal showcase, you likely spent an above-average amount of time for a Tuesday being impressed by horse muscles. Still, however excited you were about that horse, I’d wager you weren’t quite as happy as Alice Ruppert – creative producer on the upcoming Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori, consultant, and owner of the very best website about video game horses on the internet. Ruppert’s initial reaction? “Tears of joy in my eyes when they showed the slow mo horse movement”.
“I’m a big fan of the of the Witcher books, and so I knew that Ciri has a horse named Kelpie in the books,” Ruppert tells me over a call, “so, that’s part of it”. But it’s also the care that’s been put in. “Like: here’s our gorgeous horse. We care about it, and we know you care about it. And that made me feel very seen. I think that’s what brought the tears to my eyes. Of course, I am so profoundly a horse girl that you can, depending on my mood of the day, you can show me a slow mo footage of a horse galloping and I will cry in any case. That’s just my horse appreciation brain rot.”
If you found the feudal festival of backstabbing that was Final Fantasy Tactics distressingly upbeat and wholesome, perhaps you’ll be more impressed by Never’s End, a new turn and grid-based RPG from Destiny‘s former lead sandbox gameplay designer Ryan Jucket with character designs from Final Fantasy artist Masayoshi Nishimura.
It takes place in a world swamped by creeping undead darkness, and casts you as a warrior spirit wrought of deathless silver. Taking charge of the last surviving village, you will possess and burn away the very souls of townsfolk in order to transform them into battlefield units. Careful, though, because the more villagers you catch in your mirrors and reduce to living weapons, the stronger the Never becomes.
Following the recently-concluded invasion of Super Earth, Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have decided to keep on chugging with the invasions. Yep, in the most Helldivers 2 development ever to hit Helldivers 2, an Illuminate invasion has given way to an Automaton invasion.
The game’s Galactic War is a genuine forever war, and I continue to enjoy watching Arrowhead find new ways to kick its community of bed and shout ‘come on, you’ve got new things to do’.
