While Nintendo shared a lot about the hardware for the Nintendo Switch 2 during its April 2 Nintendo Direct and subsequent Treehouse streams, the company still won’t share the exact workings of the second iteration of Joy-Con or Pro Controller directional inputs. Specifically, fans have been wondering if the new analog sticks will use Hall […]

La Quimera is an upcoming story-driven futuristic shooter and the debut title by Reburn, a young developer founded by former developers of the Metro series. The impressive-looking action game arrives later this month, but players can access a closed beta even sooner.

The game is set in 2064 in a futuristic, dystopian Latin American city. Players control a private military operative outfitted in a powerful exosuit boasting features such as a scanner to pinpoint hidden enemies, an electric shock weapon to stun multiple targets, and enhanced agility for evasion. Wielding an arsenal of advanced weaponry, players will take on hostile foes, including robotic enemies. La Quimera can be played solo or with up to two other friends in three-player co-op. Check out the gameplay trailer and a batch of new screenshots below.

The Ukranine-based Reburn is an indie studio founded in 2006, formerly under the name 4A Games Ukraine. It consists of over 100 developers whose credits include the Metro series and the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

 

Reburn is hosting a 24-hour closed beta for La Quimera on April 12, but space is limited. You can sign up for the beta on the game’s Steam page and play the full version when it launches on April 25 on PC for $29.99.

Marathon, Bungie’s upcoming multiplayer extraction shooter, is getting its first gameplay reveal this weekend. The date was revealed via a community ARG campaign that saw thousands of fans decipher a series of fragmented codes. 

The gameplay reveal presentation airs this Saturday, April 12, starting at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. It will be broadcast on Bungie’s Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok accounts.

First announced in 2023, this reimagining of the original Marathon series, one of Bungie’s earliest shooter franchises from the ‘90s, puts players in the roles of cybernetic mercenaries called Runners. The game unfolds in a lost colony on the dangerous planet Tau Ceti IV, and Runners are specially designed to survive the world’s harsh conditions and search for lost artifacts and other treasures. 

That premise translates to team-based matches where players must work together to salvage and extract the most loot (such as weapons and gear) while preventing the opposing team from doing so. Bungie hasn’t divulged many more details up to this point, so we expect Saturday’s showcase to provide a deeper dive into everything Marathon offers.

Marathon has no release window but will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC at launch. 

When Nintendo launched the Switch in 2017, it had no competition in dedicated handheld gaming, a sector it had established with the Game Boy in 1989 and ruled ever since. Sega had come and gone; Sony, after two determined attempts with the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, had just about given up. As Switch 2 […]

As it barrels through its characteristically outlandish fourth and final season, Danny McBride’s HBO comedy The Righteous Gemstones has cemented a reputation for itself. Yes, it’s side-splittingly funny. Yes, its “failchildren of a crumbling empire” narrative is surprisingly relevant. Yes, there is a core of sincerity at the center of the madness. But Gemstones’ legacy […]
