It’s Star Wars Celebration right now, which as I gather is about celebrating giant balls of gas fighting one another. Sorry, I’m being told that it’s actually about some multimedia franchise that has so much going on it’s impossible to keep track of? Doesn’t sound right to me, but I’ll have to trust it. Arguably the biggest Star Warsy game announcement of the weekend is the first trailer for the Star Wars meets XCOM game Star Wars Zero Company, but it wasn’t the only one. Turns out last year’s Star Wars Outlaws‘ second story pack got a reveal too, and a release date to boot.

We’ve all known it’s coming for a long while now, three years in fact, but Star Wars Zero Company got a proper reveal today. In case you aren’t sure which one this was meant to be, it’s the strategy one from Respawn and Bit Reactor, led by former XCOM devs. For the most part the announcement trailer is just a CGI cutscene, you’ve been round this rodeo before, you know how these things go. Though, it does end with a smidge of gameplay and yeah, it really does just look like Star Wars by way of XCOM, which is likely to be an instant winner.

Look, I’m sorry, but Unbeatable has the best hook of any game ever. As the headline notes, this is a game where music is illegal, and you do crimes. It’s a rhythm game, no less, which it couldn’t really be anything else but that, right? I’ve been waiting for it for about four years now, since the Kickstarter launched, and unfortunately it’s still not quite ready yet. However! As of today, the next best thing is here: a demo.

Earlier this month Blizzard outlined their plans for Diablo 4 across 2025 that, notably, teased the action game would be getting a few collabs. They didn’t mention what said collabs would be, just that they exist, to which I said “ugh”, because, well, ugh, why does everything have to have collabs these days? The annoying thing is that Blizzard kind of nailed it with the first one, which just so happens to be with the iconic dark fantasy series Berserk.

Armored Core is a FromSoftware series that absolutely rips, and has done since its debut way back on the PS1. Technically us PC players only recently were graced with the ability to play something from the series with the release of Armored Core 6, but soon we’ll have a couple more to mess around with. The only caveat is that it would be helpful if you could speak Japanese, as they’re not getting an English language release.

Overwatch 2’s Stadium was announced earlier this year, a new round-based mode that lets you buy upgrade items through its rounds to get different buffs, gear, etc. as you try to win the best of seven rounds. Honestly one of the most notable things about it is that it’ll have a third-person perspective, a series first for the shooter, one that I’ve never understood not being in the game given how much of an emphasis on skins there is. But, interestingly enough, it’s not launching with every character in the roster, and weirdly that includes box character Tracer.

Colours! They exist, right? They’re all around us, everywhere you go, and as of yesterday, Marvel Rivals did something revolutionary: it made them customizable. Taking my sarcasm hat off for a moment, that means developer NetEase added in the ability to choose different colour palette options for your costumes. It’s just a small little way to add some amount of uniqueness to your version of the game’s extremely pre-established characters, really. Except, the catch is that you have to pay actual money for them.

Harken to the tolling of the village bell! See the blazing of the watchfires on the parapet! CD Projekt have issued a warning about Witcher 4 beta scams. Apparently, people have been receiving invites to playtest the new Witcher, even though CD Projekt have previously said that their RPG sequel won’t release before 2027. If you sign up to anything right now, the only thing you’ll be beta-testing is how fast you can change all your usernames and passwords.
