Today’s State of Play provided a new trailer showing off the single-player campaign for Battlefield 6. The explosive trailer sets the stage for the single-player story, which centers on a squad of Marines known as Dagger 13 as they attempt to stop the terrorist group Pax Armata. 

The campaign takes players from Brooklyn to Gibraltar and features plenty of exploding vehicles, buildings, and anything not impervious to military weaponry. Check out the trailer below. 

Battlefield 6 launches on October 10 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. You can read our recent hands-on impressions of the game’s multiplayer gameplay here. 

Today's PlayStation State of Play was true to its word, kicking off with Saros, the new game from Housemarque Studios. Rather than the last trailer, which was purely a cinematic teaser, this was a proper gameplay reveal, showing us the protagonist, Arjun Devraj, in action. You can see the trailer for yourself below.

The game takes place on Carcosa, a sandy, alien planet full of mind-bending visuals and creatures. It looks an awful lot like Housemarque's last game, Returnal (which is not a bad thing – we gave it a 9.5 in our review), complete with third-person sci-fi shooting action and a bullet hell-style barrage of lasers and multicolored explosions.

In addition to his main weapons, Arjun comes equipped with a circular force field called the Soltari Shield. By pressing L2, players can equip the shield and absorb projectiles, which then fuel Arjun's Power Weapon, which looks to be a burst of lasers fired from his right arm. Later on in the trailer, he's struck by an enemy's blast and dies, but not before coming back to life with Second Chance, an ability that revives him upon death.

A description under the trailer reads as follows:

Arjun Devraj (Rahul Kohli), a Soltari enforcer, fights to survive on the lost colony of Carcosa under an ominous eclipse. Shape shifting biomes and hostile ruins set the stage for a fast-paced, cinematic action experience where every encounter demands precision and adaptability. Combat unfolds as a fluid dance of dodges, shields, and parries, paired with a high-tech arsenal built of human and alien weaponry. Master enemy patterns, evolve your strategy, and face off against spectacular bosses that push every skill to the edge. Death is not the end, with permanent upgrades, evolving equipment and the "Second Chance" system that allows you to always come back stronger.

The game also got a release date: March 20, 2026, just under six months from now. If it's anything like Returnal – and it looks like it is – we're excited to get our hands on it soon.

During today's PlayStation State of Play presentation an unexpected game was announced as coming to PlayStation 5: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The game is coming to Sony's console on December 8.

This is the first Microsoft Flight Simulator game to appear on a PlayStation console. The game originally released on Xbox platforms and PC in November of last year to high acclaim. We're crossing our fingers for some Sony-exclusive content like Warhawk planes.

Animula Nook is a stunning debut title from LilliLandia Games that sees players shrink to the size of a toy to explore a miniature world. Players control a shrunken, customizable character living on the desk of a bedroom. 

The upcoming free-to-play game follows the blueprint of titles such as Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley as players explore the room to collect resources, such as coins, buttons, raindrops, and sunlight, to build various structures. Animula Nook’s impressively rendered world, resembling a toy playset, looks fantastic both graphically and artistically.

Everyday objects such as milk cartons and teacups can be turned into homes, restaurants, and shops. You can then decorate these structures with furniture and other types of decor. Although your settlement begins on top of a desk, it can be expanded to reach the windowsill, cabinets, and even a vivarium. LilliLandia Games promises the game features intuitive tools to make crafting and arranging objects as easy as possible. Gathering resources involves cute actions such as using a vacuum to suck up sunshine from flower patches, hugging creatures like ladybugs, or climbing flower stalks to shake resources from them.

Animula Nook’s toy-like world is full of similarly tiny characters to meet and befriend, from other humanoid buddies to more whimsical creatures. You can grow bonds with residents, and if they like you enough, they may share their personal stories and even move to your town. Animula Nook can be played alone, but it will also feature online co-op and cross-platform multiplayer.

“In this world, ordinary details can turn into extraordinary memories,” says LilliLandia Games in a Steam post. “The smallest things can tell the biggest stories. Animula Nook is about finding joy in little wonders and writing your own story — freely, in your own rhythm.”

 

Unfortunately, Animula Nook has no release window, but it's coming to PlayStation 5, Switch 2, PC, and Mac.

Lika A Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios held its RRG Summit livestream, where it announced that 2009’s Yakuza 3 is finally getting the Kiwami remake treatment. Not only that, but the game is getting a new story expansion called Dark Ties.

The two experiences will be bundled together in a package dubbed Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. Kiwami 3, like the previous titles, is a ground-up remake of Yakuza 3 that features improved graphics and reworked brawling gameplay, such as the ability to swap between two fighting styles.

The first fighting style is Dragon of Dojima: Kiwami, a brawling style boasting the largest number of attack techniques in the series’ history. Second is Ryukyu Style, a new addition described as a technical weapon-based style that lets players unleash combos using eight different weapons.

Kiwami 3 also features a new team battle mode called Legendary Baddie, Bad Boy Dragon. Players work together to build a biker gang to fight alongside the Ryukyu Gal Gang of female bikers to protect Okinawa.

Dark Ties is a standalone story expansion starring Yakuza 3 antagonist Yoshitaka Mine. Set in Kamurocho, it serves as a prequel to Yakuza 3’s events that tells Mine’s origin story and how and why he joined the yakuza.

Gameplay-wise, Mine’s combat centers on boxing and his Dark Awakening ability, a mode where he unleashes his inner darkness to wreak havoc on enemies with a ruthless assault. Dark Ties also features Hells Arena, an underground fight club where players can battle opponents under various rules. Survival Hell mode tasks players with fighting through an underground dungeon to reach a goal at the end.

 

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties launches on February 12, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, and PC. Pre-ordering either the digital or physical version rewards the  exclusive Ryukyu Gal Gang – Ichiban Legendary Lad DLC that adds fan-favorite hero Ichiban Kasuga to the Ryukyu Gal Gang and Legendary Baddie modes. In addition to a standard version, Sega is offering a Digital Deluxe edition that includes the following bonuses:

• DLC Legendary Outfit Pack
• DLC Legendary Lads & Gals Pack
• DLC Ryukyu Gal Gang Customization Pack
• DLC Flip Phone Customization Pack
• DLC Legendary BGM CD Set

In more RGG news, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are slated to launch on Switch 2 on November 13. The formerly Switch 2 exclusive Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut is also coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on December 8.
