Call of Duty is one of the leading names in first-person shooters, but with so many competitors over the years, even it has to adapt to stay relevant. DMZ is its most recent answer to that, bringing the trendy extraction shooter gameplay popularized by Escape from Tarkov, Arc Raiders, and Marathon to Activision-Blizzard’s most profitable franchise. Today’s Xbox Games Showcase gave us the first look at gameplay since the mode’s beta experience, and you can look for yourself below. The footage shows a squad of three, which is quickly reduced to a squad of two, as they fight tooth and nail…
Baseus Inspire XH1 MSRP $149.99 “Budget headphones that surpass expectations.” Pros Really good battery life Lovely build and comfort Pleasing audio output Sufficiently durable Generous accessory kit Cons ANC incurs an audio tax Transparency needs work Wear detection is missing Earcup hinge is a tad loose Quick Review On an average day, when a company makes “best ever” claims for its new product, I usually take it with the proverbial pinch of salt. Naturally, when Baseus launched the Inspire XH1 and marketed them as the “finest headphones” it has ever made, I was skeptical. I’m glad that I was wrong.…
Revealed during the 2026 Xbox Game Showcase, Revelations is a new expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages that will be available on July 7. Id is using terms like “Hell freezes over” to describe the expansion and writes, “Wounded and betrayed, the Slayer is thrust into a merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths and forging new strength with the help of a mysterious ally. He must ascend from the prison of his mind and fight an abomination of the gods to set his followers on the path to freedom.” The trailer for the expansion, expectedly, shows off violent and…
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was brimming with minigames and side content when it launched in 2024. Though players had access to myriad minigames, one rose to the top for many players: Queen’s Blood. This strategic collectible-card battler captivated players with its deep mechanics, intriguing storyline, and, of course, the earworm theme song. With the announcement of Final Fantasy VII Revelation closing out the recent Summer Game Fest 2026 Live Showcase, we sat down with the director of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy, Naoki Hamaguchi, to learn about Queen’s Blood’s big return in Revelation. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Hamaguchi and…
Publisher Fellow Traveler and Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin have unveiled Signit City, a first-person “fungalpunk” RPG where you play as a parasite. There’s no release date for it yet, but Fellow Traveler says it’s “coming soon” to PC. In Signet City, you control a parasite in the titular coastal city, which is in sharp decline because in this world, the biological computer has outgrown the silicon chip. Born in the brackish waters of Signet City’s bay, you must inhabit human minds and guide your hosts into their final season. “From the stained wallpaper of the squats to the towering…
Mouthwashing is one of my favorite horror games ever, and a lot of that is due to its heavy focus on writing and atmosphere, prioritizing narrative. It’s surprising, then, that developer Wrong Organ’s next game, Carcass Clad, is so different. Shown off at today’s PC Gaming Show, it’s a multiplayer tank game, where three players each take a different role to guide a tank called Yksiö through the streets of Vhorgorod. I had lots of questions about this new project, most of them around how and why it’s so different from Mouthwashing. Thankfully, they reached out and offered to answer…
Microsoft has officially kicked off celebrations for Xbox’s 25th anniversary with a nostalgic new limited-edition console that pays tribute to the original Xbox era. Unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase, the new Xbox Series X25 combines modern hardware with the iconic translucent green aesthetic that defined Microsoft’s first gaming console back in 2001. The special edition console arrives ahead of Xbox’s official 25th anniversary in November and is clearly designed to appeal to longtime fans who grew up during the original Xbox generation. Officially called the Xbox Series X25, the console features a translucent green shell inspired by the classic…
I look forward to playing this game one day, but I also really like its unreleased state, because the experience I get from watching new trailers is always such an insane roller coaster. There Are No Ghosts At The Grand is a renovation game, a la Powerwash Simulator, except there’s also a narrative, a mysterious supernatural element, some kind of puzzle-solving, and right when you think you’re comfortable, BAM: someone starts singing, because it’s also a musical game. This new trailer has a particularly disarming singing police officer, but also every other element above, presented when you least expect it.…
The 2026 Summer Xbox Games Showcase is over, and we just got a slew of announcements, exclusive reveals, updates, gameplay trailers, and more. It was another excellent showcase in a jam-packed week of SGF-related showcases, but there was quite a lot. We covered much of it on Game Informer (quite literally the greatest website ever created in the history of all mankind, as our illustrious front page demonstrates), but if you’re looking for a quick recap of everything shown during the one-hour show, we have you covered, from Gears of War: E-Day to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and all…
Crazy Taxi: World Tour was just announced at the Xbox Games Showcase and players were quick to notice that the game’s Steam page contained a generative AI disclaimer which reads, “At SEGA Corporation, we utilize generative AI as a support tool for developers, aiming to provide better content to our users and enable developers to focus more on creative tasks We have used such generative AI support tools during development of Crazy Taxi: World Tour.
