One of 2025's most shocking reveals was Halo: Campaign Evolved coming to PS5. Xbox's iconic "mascot" is limited to Microsoft consoles and PC no more. It almost signalled a larger strategic shift, yet Gears of War: E-Day is skipping Sony's console despite last year's second Gears of War remaster making that jump. Now, Halo's pre-orders on PS5 are glowing, raising more questions.
It looks like that superb Final Fantasy 7 Revelation trailer at Summer Game Fest was just the ticket for Square Enix: between a blowout trailer showcasing a massive open world, some significant story beats, and refined combat, and a massive media tour following the reveal, interest in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series appears to have gone through the roof.
Capcom is discontinuing the deluxe edition of Dragon's Dogma 2 on 24th June, as well as pulling many of its more controversial time-saving microtransactions.

It's hard to believe there was a time when Resident Evil felt like it was on its last legs. But instead, the long-running survival horror series has gone from strength to strength, brand-new instalments building on older stories Capcom is revisiting in remakes of its classic games. And it has now confirmed its upcoming Code: Veronica remake, Resident Evil Veronica, will include story changes to ensure it fits more cohesively into an overarching series narrative that has ballooned significantly since the original's release 26 years ago.
A Plague Tale developer Asobo has called Grand Theft Auto 6 an "ogre" as far as its dominance over 2026's release schedule goes. It's the same year its Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy game comes out, and it joins the crush in late August, a couple of months before GTA 6 crashes in.
Guild Wars - that series of popular massively-multiplayer online role-playing games - is named after three legendary in-universe battles, which are foundational to its story. However, two games in and 20 years later, we've still never actually seen one of these battles ourselves. And that doesn't look to be changing with Guild Wars 3.
Wuxia-inspired action game Phantom Blade Zero is arguably one of the most anticipated games of 2026, but no game is as anticipated as Grand Theft Auto 6, as the many calendar shuffles to avoid November have shown. So it was particularly surprising to see Phantom Blade Zero given a release date during June's State of Play showcase that moved it closer to Rockstar's game than most are willing to get.
