League of Legends Classic has been revealed in earnest by Riot Games. A recreation of an older MOBA experience, League Classic is taking core moments from the early seasons and merging them together, though some players are already raising eyebrows at one aspect: the champion skins.
What do Jet Set Radio, the PS1-era Tony Hawk's games, Hi-Fi Rush, and OlliOlli all have in common? Well, aside from being clear influences on Denshattack!, they are all cult classics: games that remain relevant, popular, and influential way beyond their respective eras. And it looks like they've got another stablemate in Undercoders' unlikely arcade grind-'em-up. Because this game is incredible.
In this day and age, many indie games use "Remember the thing?" as their main hook even if the nostalgia-fuelled gameplay ends up feeling miserable, and while the GoldenEye-inspired FPS Agent 64: Spies Never Die wears its influences proudly, there's more to it based on my time with its Steam demo. Soon, we'll be able to play the full thing.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is off to a roaring start, with Ubisoft trumpeting 2m copies sold on launch day alone. But despite its success, Ubisoft Barcelona - one of the studios involved in its development - is still facing layoffs, and workers are currently staging a three-day strike in protest.

Battlefield Studios has released our first look at Season 4 in Battlefield 6. This new trailer arrives a week ahead of Season 4's launch on 21st July, and shows plenty to be excited about.
Marvel Rivals has only been around for 18 months or so, but already we've reached Season 9. And with it comes a narrative arc focusing on Marvel characters like Apocalypse, perfectly timed to coincide with X-Men '97's season two. Marvel's Rivals also welcomed fireworks-throwing mutant Jubilee a few days ago, and while many players are digging the new hero, the update that introduced her has been heavily criticised by fans.
As we await news on Baldur's Gate 4 (if it does happen), Baldur's Gate 3 remains a top tier RPG people seemingly can't get enough of. My Chemical Romance singer and songwriter Gerard Way - who's also a comic book writer - hasn't gotten to Larian's latest yet, though.
The recently released Black Ops 1 and 2 ports for PlayStation 4 and 5 may cost a lot of money, and only offer the bare minimum, but that hasn't stopped the duo from becoming the most popular games across the PS Store. Unfortunately, that popularity predictably invited the sort of problems the two games have suffered for years on their original platforms. Namely: hackers and modded lobbies.

Given the game was subject to plenty of criticism for how it ran on both console and PC at launch back in 2024, the fact it can run on Nintendo's hardware at all feels like nothing short of a miracle. But it's not the first Capcom game to turn heads when arriving on Switch 2: Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem both run flawlessly on the console, and even Monster Hunter Wilds is confirmed to launch on the device soon.
