The annual Nacon Connect event had several interesting reveals this year, from Lovecraftian horror to a RoboCop: Rogue City expansion, but a deep dive into Hell Is Us showed off some interesting ideas from developer Rogue Factor. Set in a semi-open world, Hell Is Us is an action-RPG where players can traverse a region under siege from supernatural creatures. The big draw here is an emphasis on satisfying combat and exploration, with Rogue Factor aiming to make the art of discovering new locales feel rewarding by stripping the game of maps, compasses, and quest-markers. "Combat is only 50% of the experience. The other half of the game is all about the exploration, the discovery, the joy that's related to them, and how they play a central role in your journey," Hell Is Us creative director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête explained in a developer-diary video. "Unlike traditional games, Hell Is Us doesn't rely on quest-markers or a guided path. There's no magical compass pointing you in the right direction, and there's no quest journal with a shopping list of everything that you need to do and in which order. Our player-plattering approach encourages you to follow your own instincts, discover clues organically, and chart your own course through the adventure."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

During Nacon Connect 2025, developer Teyon announced that RoboCop: Rogue City will be getting a standalone expansion. Called Unfinished Business, the new content sees RoboCop return to Omni Tower after an army of skilled mercenaries have taken over the building, and it'll be launching in the summer for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Here's the first trailer for it: While it looks like you'll have plenty of targets and challenging opponents in the expansion, it does add an interesting wrinkle in the form of flashback missions. These levels will let players step into the boots of Alex Murphy long before he had his fatal encounter with Clarence J. Boddicker and his gang in the 1987 film. Additionally, the levels featuring RoboCop will also give players access to new weapons, brutal finishers, and special missions.RoboCop: Rogue City is admittedly a flawed game, but if you can overlook its rougher parts, you'll find that it's incredibly faithful to the source material and a fun blast of '80s action. Teyon had several post-launch updates for the game, including a New Game Plus mode that fans had been requesting.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Microsoft is not having a good week with its Xbox firmware updates. Just hours after the latest Xbox Insider update reportedly reverted consoles back to their factory settings, Microsoft has acknowledged that the new firmware for Xbox wireless controllers has caused some problems with Bluetooth connectivity and performance.In an update on the Xbox support site, Microsoft specifies that the Xbox wireless controllers firmware update is specifically causing some issues with "older non-Xbox devices." Microsoft's suggestion is that if players are having trouble with their controller's Bluetooth connectivity, then they should revert the controllers to a previous firmware.

Ironically, that Insider update was meant to fix a minor issue regarding the way players view their Xbox profiles. Entirely erasing those profiles was an unintended consequence.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Titanfall director Steve Fukuda was also in charge of a small team for a project unrelated to Titanfall, as of 2023. It is unclear if the recently canceled game was either of these projects.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
