A new trailer for Metroid Dread has gone live, which features Samus apparently at odds with the Chozo. The race of warrior-like alien bird-people has long been referenced in the Metroid series, although the actual details on the disappearance of the entire race have only been vaguely hinted at over the years.The new trailer shows Samus under attack from a mysterious Chozo warrior, with Nintendo describing the species as a "highly intelligent and technologically advanced" race that once sought to bring peace throughout the galaxy. Something eventually went wrong once the Chozo civilization reached its breaking point, and it'll be up to Samus to uncover this mystery.In addition to that revelation, the trailer features other notable scenes which include a beast that appears to be Kraid, an enemy that Samus has fought before. Just like in older games, Samus will be able to upgrade her arsenal throughout her journey, with tools such as Flash Shift that gives her a brief burst of super-speed, the classic Grapple Beam, and the Storm Missile which can lock onto multiple enemy targets.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Saints Row series is coming back with a reboot that takes players to a brand-new city and a new cast of characters. In a new video, voice actress Bryce Charles and the team at developer Volition discuss the project and reveal gameplay footage for the first time following a CG reveal trailer at Gamescom. Some people were upset over the lack of real gameplay footage in the announcement trailer, and now we're seeing some.Chief creative officer Jim Boone said one of the challenges at the onset of development of the new Saints Row was figuring out how to up the ante in a series known for being over the top. The studio initially looked to its past for inspiration, but this ultimately felt limiting, so the team opted to "zoom out" and forge ahead with a plan to reboot the series instead of making a sequel.The new Saints Row is set in a fictional American southwest town called Santo Ileso, and the developers spoke about how the "postcard imagery" of the setting lends itself to new opportunities in the context of Saints Row.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Fortnite Icon Series, like its more general list of crossover cosmetics, has grown enormously as of late. Over the past year, players have seen not just Marvel heroes, Star Wars Jedi, and other fictional characters come to the island, but several real-life celebrities.Since Chapter 2, Season 1, Epic has been adding new outfits to Fortnite based on musicians, streamers, athletes, and more. Each of these Icon sets also includes their own cosmetics such as back bling, gliders, and more. The first Icon to ever arrive in-game was Ninja, the professional Fortnite player and Twitch streamer.He would later be joined by other streamers who were each at the height of their Fortnite powers when they hit the Item Shop. While some streamers have moved onto new games as their primary streaming material, you'll still find plenty of players donning their outfits in-game in any given round.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Subscription services in video games are growing in popularity and prominence, and it's only a matter of time before they completely take over, according to Double Fine boss Tim Schafer. He said in an interview with GI.biz that the push toward subscription services is "just unstoppable," observing that it's already happened with movies and music, and games may be next."I don't really feel like there's much of a choice about these things," Schafer said. "The way things are going is not something I feel like I have control over. You look at what happened with streaming in other media and it's just unstoppable. Even as a consumer, I went through a move recently and had all these boxes of DVDs and CDs and was like, 'Why do I own all these things?' So even as a consumer, I'm part of that move to subscription services. It just fits more of what I want."Now that Double Fine is part of Microsoft, its new games will come to Xbox Game Pass, just like all of Microsoft's first-party games do. Schafer said this is a good thing for Double Fine because it opens up the potential audience for the studio's games beyond what might have been possible before if people had to pay $70 to get started.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you've been one of the millions of people trying to get their hands on one of the new consoles over the past year, chances are you've also experienced frustration with scalpers and bots snatching up the limited supply. Not surprisingly, the recently announced Halo Infinite Xbox Series X console--which had an even more restricted preorder supply than the normal console--is already getting scalped months ahead of its launch.Spotted by the NPD Group's Mat Piscatella on Twitter, scalpers have started putting up preorders for the console on marketplaces like eBay. These listings are going for huge markups, too. While the console's official listing price was $550 USD, scalpers are selling them for $900 and up.A search on eBay reveals that a handful of these listings have sold, too. A lot more are currently on sale. Some listings are even trying to fetch enormous prices just for the controller that ships with the console. As you might expect, scalpers are also trying to flip preorders for the Halo Series 2 Elite Controller; its original $200 USD listings sold out immediately, as well. The scalped preorders are selling for not as huge of a markup, selling for roughly $280, but are still part of the bigger issue.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Bungie launched the Beyond Light expansion for Destiny 2 in 2020, one of the major new additions to the game was the Darkness-powered Stasis subclass. Compared to the subclasses granted to Guardians by the Light, Stasis was more customizable and allowed for more flexibility, an idea that Bungie wants to continue in its next expansion The Witch Queen.The studio confirmed that there will be no new darkness subclass in the expansion or throughout Year Five of Destiny 2, but the first Light subclass that will receive new abilities and mechanics will be the dark energy manipulating power of Void.Bungie says that its main goals are to preserve the existing power fantasies of Void, create new build-crafting possibilities through the combination of Aspects and Fragments, and set up a framework for the damage type to be integrated into the rest of the game.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Even with Overwatch 2 on the way, new Overwatch content is hitting the game in the meantime. To that end, the game is receiving a brand-new map today titled Malevento, but not everyone playing Overwatch will be able to check it out yet.Malevento is now available on the game's PTR (Public Test Region) builds, which are available to PC players only. It should also be noted that players won't be missing out on a new map for one of the game's staple objective-based modes if they're on console or don't move over to the PTR build. Molevento is exclusively a free-for-all deathmatch map.Gallery While images of the map don't offer the best look at what players can expect from it, a statement from Blizzard on the map alludes to a lot of verticality. "Discover the best corners for your Junkrat tires and the best rooftop views for your Widowmaker snipe shots," reads the statement. Malevento is currently scheduled to leave PTR and move onto public builds of Overwatch on September 28.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After pitting them against a fascist government, Ubisoft has a new enemy in store for Watch Dogs: Legion players: the undead. A new mode for the game, titled Legion of the Dead, launched today in a free update for players across all platforms. Legion of the Dead tasks small teams of four players against zombie armies as they try to escape the streets of London with as many supplies as they can carry.Legion of the Dead was previously added to Watch Dogs: Legion this past June, albeit as an alpha release and just for PC players. Starting today, players across all platforms can face down the undead through the streets of futuristic London.The game mode tasks players with escaping the zombie-ridden city with as many supplies as they can. However, not only are the undead in the way but so are Albion soldiers that have hoarded supplies for themselves. Players will have to navigate around the zombies that have flooded into the city and take on soldiers to gather supplies and new resources, including ammo and gadgets. After collecting a set amount of supplies, players can head to an extraction point and escape the city.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Cancellations do not exist in this dojo. Season 4 of Cobra Kai, Netflix's TV series follow-up to the Karate Kid film franchise, won't be here until December. And yet, the streaming service has already renewed the show for Season 5, with production set to resume this fall in Atlanta, Georgia.While Season 4 is still months away, we have some idea about what to expect. It was previously confirmed that Thomas Ian Griffith would reprise his role as the villainous Terry Silver from Karate Kid 3. He'll be teaming up once again with John Kreese (Martin Kove) to lead the Cobra Kai dojo down a dark path en route to the All-Valley Karate Tournament.Cobra Kai picks up three decades after the original Karate Kid film, with Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) now grown. In the first two seasons, the duo were once again rivals--Johnny resurrected Cobra Kai, while Daniel brought back Mr. Miyagi's dojo to oppose him. In Season 3, though, with Johnny ousted from Cobra Kai, the two longtime enemies were forced to work together to bring down Kreese once and for all. Now, with the All-Valley coming up, the warring dojos are going to settle their differences at the tournament.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Mario's 35th anniversary has come and gone, but there's never a bad time to play the best Mario games on Nintendo Switch. While the Switch lacks the deep Virtual Console library that defined the retro offerings of the Wii and Wii U, Nintendo's hybrid console has built up a solid catalogue of Mario games over the years. Some of those are completely new games that are still receiving support. Some are Wii U games that got the port treatment. And many are NES or SNES games available through Nintendo Switch Online.If you're just getting into the overall-clad plumber's oeuvre, we've got the biggest hits. And, if you're looking for deeper cuts, we've got you covered.

The creative team behind the popular mockumentary American Vandal are working on a similar project that skewers video games, and specifically eSports.Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault have reached a deal with Paramount + for an "eSports mockumentary" called Players, according to Variety.The show follows a fictional League of Legends professional team looking to win their first championship after a string of near misses. "To win it all, they will need their prodigy, a 17-year-old rookie, and their 27-year-old veteran to put their egos aside and work together," reads a line from the show's description.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

With the indie game explosion over the last decade or so, the survival game has gone from a relatively niche genre to one with mainstream appeal. Enormous games like Minecraft, which is among the best Xbox survival games and PS4 survival games, have found audiences with players of all ages, and despite the very basic element they share--avoiding death--survival games are enormously diverse. You can attempt to not starve to death on Earth, attempt to not start to death on Mars, or attempt to not starve to death on an underwater planet filled with dangerous sea creatures. Jokes aside, it's more than just... Don't Starve, as the elements, enemy factions, and even other players can spell trouble in the best survival games. We're rounded up 20 of them below.For more games to check out, including some of the best PS5 survival games, you can check out our full list of the best PS5 games, best PS4 games, best Xbox Series X|S games, best Xbox One games, best Nintendo Switch games, and best PC games. Ark: Survival Evolved Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile One of the premier survival games available on current-gen platforms, Ark: Survival Evolved certainly emphasizes the "survival" element of its name strongly. In addition to the common survival-game mechanics such as hunger and thirst systems, you also must contend with shifting weather conditions that can cause your health to deteriorate even faster, as well as both wildlife and other players. Sticking together can be the key to survival through the game's tribe system, and you can also tame and train dangerous dinosaurs, which can assist in hunting or even be used as mounts when you have to fend off attackers. If you prefer, you can even rely on farming produce to survive without killing, though your enemies may not be quite as kind to you.See our Ark: Survival Evolved review. See at Amazon Don't Starve Available on: PC, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Wii U, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile Well, that title gets right to the point, doesn't it? A take on resource-gathering and crafting that doesn't waste time with unnecessary preamble or extra fluff, Don't Starve's mix of 2D and 3D art--in the signature Klei aesthetic--makes it unlike any other game on this list, and combined with its addictive gameplay loop and punishing difficulty, it will certainly test your ability to adapt and overcome. With procedurally generated worlds, you will never experience the same game twice in a row, and the standalone expansion Don't Starve Together lets you and your friends try to make it in the cold, unforgiving world as a group. Or, if you prefer, you can try your luck with random players online, which should test just how far strangers can go to avoid actually helping each other.See our Don't Starve review. See at GameStop Dying Light Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Zombie games are a dime a dozen, at least at first glance, but there is a reason that Techland's Dying Light was such a success--and far better than its previous game, Dead Island. Instead of a more traditional movement system you'd expect from a first-person action title, Dying Light makes heavy use of parkour mechanics to allow for daring escapes that really emphasize the danger of a swarm of zombies much better than a game where you can just blast your way through the entire horde. That doesn't mean you can't still deliver some pain to the zombies with a variety of weapons like hammers, bows, and shotguns, but the balance of "fight or flight" creates something we just don't see in many other open-world zombie games, and it exemplifies survival better than many games that take a more traditional approach to the genre.See our Dying Light review. See at GameStop Escape From Tarkov Available on: PC At first glance, Escape From Tarkov looks like any other multiplayer shooter in the same vein as Call of Duty, but it's a much more complex game with some interesting twists of its own. In addition to realistic injuries--you must account for things like fractures, hydration, and blood loss--you must carefully protect your scavenged loot because death also means dropping everything you've acquired. It's not exactly an MMO but with a player-driven economy for looted items, the risk-and-reward dynamic in Escape From Tarkov adds an extra layer of tension to every battle, meaning you'll need to watch out for deteriorating weapons, lest you have a gun jam right before you're shot in the face. Of course, that can also happen to your enemy, letting you breathe a sigh of relief and live to fight another day. See at Escape From Tarkov The Flame in the Flood Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch To survive, you must always be one step ahead of whatever it is that wants to kill you. In the case of The Flame in the Flood, that includes not just predators, but the elements, as well. As you travel in a boat down a river and try to outpace impending rain, you'll come across towns that you can scavenge for supplies to keep yourself alive during the journey, but this can lead to unintended encounters with the local wildlife. The Flame in the Flood's dark premise is contrasted by its gorgeous, minimalist art style, as well as a beautiful, Americana-driven soundtrack by Hot Water Music's Chuck Ragan. Even the most morbid, difficult moments are still somewhat calming, at least up until you die and have to try again.See our The Flame in the Flood review. See at GameStop The Forest Available on: PC, PS4 A survival game that also combines elements of horror and cooperative open-world exploration, The Forest features a "fish out of water" setup in which you're hunted by genetically muted locals while trying to survive the wilderness. The choice for how you do this is up to you, ranging from creating a robust fortress or sneaking around to take out the attackers stealthily. Like other survival games such as Minecraft, there is a day-night cycle, encouraging you to explore and scavenge while it's light before retreating to the safety of your shelter at night. With friends by your side, things can be a little less daunting, but you'll still need to find food if you don't want to die by starvation--and that's just as terrifying as the enemies.See our The Forest review. See at Steam See at PlayStation Store Frostpunk Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Mobile Usually, survival games task you with surviving--as in you, either as yourself or a character. 11 bit studios' Frostpunk, however, is a "society survival game" that sees a world plunged entirely into an endless winter. It's up to you to keep your civilization from death, managing their resources and establishing the laws that will prevent total chaos and anarchy while still maintaining your people's health and happiness. The decisions you make can have unintended and permanent consequences, both good and bad. Should you rule smartly, you can even invest in advanced technologies, returning people to some degree of normalcy. Available on last-gen consoles, PC, Mac, and even mobile, Frostpunk is also getting a sequel, though it doesn't currently have a release date.See our Frostpunk review. See at Amazon The Long Dark Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch You don't necessarily need some supernatural or science-fiction threat in order for the apocalypse to feel terrifying. In The Long Dark--another game that sees the world plunged into constant winter--in the story mode you must venture out, alone, searching for your companion after you're separated. The separate survival mode offers more freedom, with surviving as long as possible being your only goal and permadeath looming over every decision you make. With every action you make, you spend calories that must be replenished with food, but the threat of the elements always balances out your need to go find more resources. Multiple difficulty settings mean that you can gradually ramp up the challenge if you're new to the experience.See our The Long Dark review. See at GameStop Minecraft Available on: PC, PS Vita, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, New 3DS, Wii U, Switch, Mobile How could any survival game list not include Minecraft? Not only is it one of the most influential and successful video games ever made, but it's also still damn good a decade after its launch. The procedurally generated world is filled--or can be filled--with plenty of unexpected areas, including veins of valuable minerals and clusters of enemies, and it's up to you to decide how to protect yourself from the monsters and exploding Creepers that threaten your survival. Of course, if you want a break, you can always go into the Creative mode, instead, and focus exclusively on building the structure of your dreams. It might even give you some ideas for how you can protect yourself in the main game!See our Minecraft review. See at Amazon No Man's Sky Available on: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S When it first launched in 2016, No Man's Sky was a shell of a game. Most of its best systems weren't even created yet, and the prospect of exploring for the sake of exploring didn't exactly thrill many players. But Hello Games didn't give up, implementing base-building, multiplayer, and a variety of other quality-of-life improvements to make No Man's Sky the ultimate space exploration game. Finding new wildlife, establishing your operations on a planet, and seeing what it has to offer--all while monitoring your life-support systems--now feels satisfying and fulfilling, and continued updates have only made the game even better since then. It's one of last generation's biggest gaming redemption stories, and the initial reception shouldn't turn you off from playing it.Read our No Man's Sky Beyond review. See at GameStop Resident Evil 7 Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One Not a survival game in the traditional sense--you don't have to tell us--but a game with mere survival at the forefront for nearly the entire journey, Resident Evil 7 reinvigorated a series that had gone so far off the rails, it didn't even know what rails were anymore. Set largely in one big house, the game sees new protagonist Ethan Winters attempting to evade a family that seemingly can't die. A twisted secret lies at the heart of this mystery, in true Resident Evil fashion, but the game feels noticeably different than the other Resident Evil games--especially everything from the current century. Running away is not only an option, but often the best option, and ammunition is scarce enough that you actually have to think about whether it's worth defending yourself or finding another way to get where you need to go.See our Resident Evil 7 review. See at Amazon Outward Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia Melding survival game elements with an open-world RPG, Outward may look like a sword-and-sworcery power fantasy at first glance, but you actually play as a pretty pathetic little weakling. Even a disease can spell the end for you in Outward, alongside thirst, and no playthrough will ever be exactly the same. The game also makes sure you don't manipulate its systems by constantly auto-saving in a similar manner to an MMO, but with perseverance and some careful planning, you can become a hero. If you want, you can even join a friend--both in person or online--and attempt to not get killed by the most trivial of enemies together. See at GameStop RimWorld Available on: PC A survival game that should be right up the alley of any Prison Architect fans, RimWorld follows a small group of colonists--unwilling colonists, we may add--who have crashed onto a new planet and must attempt to rebuild and thrive in their serendipitous situation. They aren't alone on the planet, with raiders and wildlife alike seeking their heads, but you can also tame your own beasts to do your bidding and set up defensive positions to blast anyone who comes close. Injuries and disease are tracked to specific body parts and you can even get a prosthetic limb if need be, and combat isn't just based on stats. Instead, there is an actual cover system you can manipulate through your structures' placement and design. See at Steam Rust Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One Rust, created by Garry's Mod studio Facepunch--has had an interesting journey. In early development, it seemed too eager to imitate other survival games, even including zombies at one point, but it gradually established its own identity as a straightforward and addictive survival game. With an island full of wildlife and other players, the latter of whom can either help or hurt you, you need to always be on your toes, and finding allies you are comfortable with can be the difference between life and death. Thanks to a relatively recent popularity surge caused by streamers, the game has gotten a second wind, and there is even a separate console edition if you don't have a PC. See at GameStop Starbound Available on: PC Fully customizable and with enough difficulty options for every kind of player, Starbound mixes science-fiction exploration and adventure with survival elements to create a charming and inspired take on the genre. There isn't a set end-goal, though you can find your own victory by battling enemies or venturing out to take over other planets. On the Hardcore difficulty setting, you'll need to eat to survive and if you die, you're dead for good, while Survival difficulty replaces this with an "items drop on death" feature for a little more flexibilty. With mod support further letting you personalize the experience, Starbound is quite literally what you make of it. See at Steam Subnautica Available on: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch Getting mauled to death by land creatures is scary enough, but there is little more terrifying than dying underwater. In Subnautica, you have no choice but to venture into the murky depths of a watery planet in order to survive, and ironically, you still need to find water to drink because salt water will only kill you faster! You'll have a chance to upgrade your vessel's hull in order to protect it from the increasing pressure as you venture deeper into the abyss, and you can even establish bases and build other vehicles to assist you in your research and exploration. This isn't a simple "survive" game, however, with a mystery to uncover at its core, so those who aren't into the basic "dont' die" gameplay loop may still enjoy Subnautica. A sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, was also released in 2021 and takes place two years after the original game.See our Subnautica review. See at Amazon Surviving Mars Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One Enjoy city-building games but wish you had more control over individual people and didn't have to do with boring old Earth? Surviving Mars might be just what you're looking for, then, as the game has you build up an early human colony on the titular planet while also having to deal with the people who make up your civilization. Each one has its own AI, meaning you won't be able to make universal, sweeping decisions that have the same impact on everyone, and their problems can become your problems if you don't manage them effectively. But it's more than just survival, as you can discover the hidden mysteries of Mars itself, some of which may not be pleasant.See our Surviving Mars review. See at GameStop Terraria Available on: PC, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox 360, Xbox One, 3DS, Wii U, Switch, Mobile, Stadia If you took Minecraft and turned it into a 2D game, it would look a whole lot like Terraria, though the focus is on more than just survival and building structures here. Venturing into the deep caverns of the randomly generated worlds you explore could lead to rare resources and materials to let you craft something truly amazing, or it might just make for a great anecdote about the dangerous areas you encountered, instead. Where Terraria differs from games like Minecraft is by also putting a significant focus on how the game feels, playing more like a retro action game for those who want to focus on combat.See our Terraria review. See at Amazon This War of Mine Available on: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile One of the darkest games on this list, because it sheds fantasy and sci-fi for the realistic horrors of war, This War of Mine puts you in control of the civilians caught in the middle of an armed conflict, unable to escape danger and merely hoping to survive by the time the battles have ended. You'll need to gather basic supplies to survive, but the risk of being caught in the crossfire can deter you from getting what you actually need, and the decisions you need to make aren't easy. Who is worth sacrificing for the good of the group? Can such a choice even be made?See our This War of Mine review. See at Amazon Valheim Available on: PC A surprise hit on Steam that managed to outperform some of the biggest PC games, Valheim scratches the survival game itch without being locked into some of the genre's core elements. The fantasy game puts you in a procedurally generated world where you can work cooperatively with up to nine other players, and you can build a house and even an entire settlement alongside smaller items like weapons, armor, food, and--seeing as this is a Norse world--mead. The combat is also a little bit more advanced than similar survival games, with mechanics for dodging and blocking attacks, and you can also venture out into the sea and test your skills as the captain of a vessel. Only $20 and with the Hearth & Home update adding even more content to the game, including new furniture and food items, it's a refreshing take on survival. See at Steam Info from Gamespot.com

An indie developer is stepping away from making games after claiming that abuse of Steam's refund policy has prevented them from profiting on their latest title.The developer in question, Emika Games, is the solo indie developer behind Find Yourself, Locked Up, and the recently-released Summer of '58. Each of their games has positive reviews on Steam, including Summer of '58. However, that hasn't stopped players from refunding the game, which costs just $9, immediately after playing it. In most cases, that wouldn't be possible, but because Summer of '58 takes just an hour and a half to beat, it's possible for players to request a refund through Steam.Friends! Thank you for your support! I'm leaving game development for an indefinite time to collect my thoughts. pic.twitter.com/q93NxWjyUI — EMIKA_GAMES (@EmikaGames) August 26, 2021In a statement on Twitter, the developer thanked people for their support but announced that "I'm leaving game development for an indefinite time to collect my thoughts." According to Emika Games, the large number of refunds for Summer of '58 has meant that they "do not earn anything to create a new game." Emika Games' upcoming title, From Day To Day, has likewise been delayed indefinitely as well, with the developer saying "this game will not see the light of day in the near future."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
