Valor Mortis is a game I’ve kept an eye on since its reveal last year, and after playing a demo, it’s one of my most anticipated upcoming games. Fortunately, you and I won’t have to wait much longer to play it, as it launches on September 24 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This was revealed by way of a new narrative-focused trailer shown during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, pulling back the decrepit layers on this unique first-person Soulslike from the studio behind the excellent Ghostrunner series. In it, you control William, a former soldier who rises from death…
Apple heavily advertises privacy for its products, like the iPhone. These are usually one of the big talking points in their announcements, which makes your iPhone feel pretty locked down. This is true until you see how much ordinary device data apps can quietly read. Security research team Mysk has launched Loupe: What Apps Can See, a free iOS app designed to show users what information third-party apps can access through public iOS APIs. The app is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, listed under Developer Tools, and requires iOS 17 or later. Why Loupe is not…
Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember is the next game in the Dark Souls-inspired Three Kingdoms action game from Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja. The original Wo Long, Fallen Dynasty, released in 2023 and was a worthy entry in the canon of games inspired by From Software’s work.

Persona 6 has finally been revealed – it’s real! It’s been nearly 10 years since the last new mainline Persona game. Unfortunately, the existence of Persona 6 is quite literally all we know. In the teaser reveal trailer, which aired during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, we got a strange and mysterious look at what appears to be a graveyard of sorts. The camera pans over the gravestones before highlighting a large monument with what appears to be a nobleman missing a head. We see someone – presumably from our Persona party – touching the monument, and then the trailer flashes to…
Ninja Theory, the studio behind the Hellblade series, revealed the next title in the franchise at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday. The new action-adventure game, dubbed Senua, is a direct response to the criticism that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and its 2024 sequel Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II prioritized presentation over gameplay. Studio head Dom Matthews confirmed the game is coming in 2027 to Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Game Pass. A different kind of Hellblade game Senua will drop the tightly linear structure of the previous two Hellblade games in favor of a broader action-adventure format. Matthews describes…

The team at inXile has been hard at work on Clockwork Revolution, but every new showing is increasingly impressive. Today’s presentation showed off some of the major cast members that will be joining in on the adventure, but also highlighted the way the game will feature time travel as a core mechanic, letting the player go back to the city 25 years earlier in 1867, and then letting you manipulate how things will be in the present. The moment-to-moment gameplay looks to follow in the spirit of games like BioShock and Dishonored, encouraging players to use a variety of tools, paths,…
