Mortal Kombat 1

We were treated to official gameplay reveal for the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot. The game looks nothing short of stunning, and true to form it will boast fatalities galore when it releases September 19.

We got another look at the first part of The Witcher season 3, which will be Henry Cavill’s final season starring as Geralt of Rivia before Liam Hemsworth takes over that role.

Alan Wake 2

Along with an exciting gameplay reveal, Remedy Entertainment also gave us a release date for this long-awaited game: October 17, 2023

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 season 4 reveal trailer

The new season drops on June 14th, and here is a peek at what gamer’s will have in store. It might not be exactly what you expect…

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer

Summer Game Fest 2023 closed with a bang with the reveal trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second part of the remake of the classic RPG. As of right now the game is set to be PlayStation exclusive, but now PS gamers can still keep their fingers crossed.

It was a pretty exciting show overall, and the prepending highlights were just a sampling of the many, many games shown off. Of course, there were some notable absences. We were hoping to see more of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, which in the end only got a passing mention.

Summer Game Fest isn’t quite done yet, however, with the Devolver Digital Showcase and the Day of the Devs Showcase also streaming today.

The trial will be available from now through June 21. The trial includes over 60 games available with Ubisoft+ on Xbox as well as over 100 PC games offered through the service. (See here for a full list of console offerings via Pure Xbox). After the trial concludes your membership will renew starting at $14.99 a month unless you cancel, so make note of that.

Among the biggest Ubisoft games on the service are Far Cry 6, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and many more. There are multiple tiers to choose from, offering monthly rewards, access to premium game editions and more.

The Ubisoft+ free trial offer comes just ahead of the Ubisoft Forward 2023 event. This will stream on Monday, June 12 starting at 12:45 EST. The Ubisoft Forward event can be watched on YouTube and Twitch.

The leak occurred on GOG, with preorders accidentally going live for a brief time. The price of the DLC expansion was listed as €29.99 (which equates to around $34.99 USD). However, the listing did not include the release date for the expansion.

The screenshot of the listing first circulated on Reddit courtesy of user thebuffel.

It was earlier reported that Phantom Liberty would release on June 8. We know that the expansion will have some kind of presence at the Summer Game Fest, and likely a release date will be unveiled along with a new trailer. Possibly we could even see a surprise release during the show.

Phantom Liberty will take place in an all-new area of Night City, and put players in the role of Solomon Reed (portrayed by actor Idris Elba). As per Cyberpunk.net.,

Phantom Liberty is a spy-thriller expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. Become V, a cyberpunk for hire, and take on an impossible mission of espionage and survival. Use new skills, equip new weapons and tech, and plunge deep into a web of shattered loyalties and political power plays.

As for the Summer Game Fest 2023, it begins at 3pm Eastern. See here for more details on where to watch.

The Xbox Free Play Days event will run through Sunday, June 11. Remedy Entertainment’s action-adventure game was featured in one of our Xbox Classics Revisited posts, and was generally well-received upon release. It currently has a Metacritic score of 84 for both the Xbox One and PC versions.

After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, you become the new Director struggling to regain Control.

From developer Remedy Entertainment, this supernatural 3rd person action-adventure will challenge you to master the combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments while fighting through a deep and unpredictable world.

Control is Jesse Faden’s story and her personal search for answers as she grows into the role of the Director. The world of Control has its own story, as do the allies Jesse meets along the way. Jesse works with other Bureau agents and discovers strange experiments and secrets.—Xbox Store Description.

Note that it is the (backward compatible) Xbox One version offered with Xbox Free Play Days this weekend. That version is currently on sale with a 70% discount as part of the Deals Unlocked Sale. The Xbox Series X|S  version, Control Ultimate Edition, featured the next–gen upgrades, although that edition is not currently on sale.

Minecraft: Education Edition made its way to Chromebooks back in 2020. However, it required the user to either have a school license or an Office 365 Education account. But the early access version was limited to select devices that met the minimum specifications.

However, if you’ve been meaning to get Minecraft on your Chromebook, you can now grab it from Play Store for $20. If you’ve already purchased the game on Android, you’ll be able to get it at $13 as long as you’re using the same Google account on your Chromebook.

Google has indicated that Minecraft will be available on any Chromebook manufactured in the past three years alongside other models that meet the set minimum requirements to access it. Minecraft on Chromebook will feature full cross-play support, which means you’ll be able to engage with other players on mobile, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Windows.

It’s also worth noting that if you have a Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll be able to access Minecraft on your Chromebook through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The latest version of Minecraft on Chromebook also ships with access to the Minecraft Marketplace and the new Trails & Tales update.

This is the second trailer for the DLC, the first releasing a month ago in early May. That trailer showcased a new location in the game called “Facility 3826.”

The DLC in question will release sometime this summer, though no specific release date has been announced. It will be the first of four upcoming DLC releases for Atomic Heart. Each of these will reportedly be single-player continuations of the main campaign.

Apparently Mundfish hopes to collaborate with Elon Musk to put Tesla bots in the DLC. There’s no official word yet on whether that idea will bear fruit.

The critical reception confirmed this, as seen in our Diablo IV review roundup, with the game getting 9 and 10 review scores across the board.

We now know that Diablo IV is the fastest-selling game ever for Blizzard Entertainment, this only a week after the game’s early access launch. It had the most pre-launch units sales in company history both on console and PC. Exact sales numbers don’t seem to available, however.

Diablo IV has collectively been played for an incredible 10,000 years, with players logging over 93 million hours of playtime. General manager of the Diablo franchise said “This is a moment year in the making for the Diablo IV team,” adding,
