One of the biggest announcements during last week's PlayStation State of Play livestream was Astro Bot, the full-fledged sequel to the excellent Astro's Playroom that comes preinstalled on PS5. Just like Astro's Playroom, Astro Bot is a 3D puzzle-platformer that pays homage to PlayStation history and makes heavy use of the PS5 DualSense controller's many unique features like haptic feedback and dynamic triggers. However, this time, we're getting a full-length game (with no microtransactions)...
Warhammer 40K and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar are some of the coolest fictional settings out there. While both franchises started as tabletop wargames, they've expanded into video games, pen-and-paper RPGs, and more, giving fans of any medium plenty of ways to enjoy these grimdark universes. However, it's the many Warhammer: Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40K novels where you get the deepest exploration of both settings--but with literal hundreds of official novels out there (of varying degrees of...
Capcom's Monster Hunter games have some of the coolest beasts ever seen, but the tragedy here is that you can't admire them as they tend to get homicidal when you intrude on their domain. Fortunately, there are some impressive upcoming Monster Hunter mini-statues that aren't just safe to look at, you can even pick them up and admire them up close and personal. You can preorder this six-pack of 2.5-inch Monster Hunter figures for $42 (was $48) at Amazon ahead of the set's June 26 release...

While there are still several more months until launch, preorders for the new art...
Alongside a new location to explore, campaign to complete, and raid to take on, one of the key additions in Destiny 2: The Final Shape is Prismatic. This is a new subclass, of which we've only ever had five in Destiny's history, but this one is much different in that it blends together old and new options from the existing Light and Darkness subclasses to give you an interesting blend. With so many choices comes a lot of complexity, so we're here to guide you through everything there is to...
PlayStation revealed Concord during its latest State of Play, showing off a competitive 5v5 shooter featuring 16 unique characters, 12 maps, and cross-play support for PS5 and PC. Firewalk Studios says the game will receive frequent updates, adding content to keep things fresh and allow it to grow over the years. It certainly boasts intriguing visuals, and its characters include play styles for brute force, long-range snipers, and everything in between, so it'll be interesting to see how...
For the first time in 11 years, the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV is embarking on an entirely new era for its story arc. Dawntrail sets its sails for completely separate regions filled with cultures and histories never seen in the game's long history--you can gather as much from the intro cinematic or the several Live Letters from director and producer Naoki Yoshida where he's talked extensively about this new journey.
