🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformSpyro: A Realm Beyond Is A Brand New Spyro Adventure
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/43a4d7d3/spyro.jpg.webp) Spyro: A Realm Beyond is not a remake of a previous Spyro game. Instead, it is a brand new adventure where the purple dragon is apparently stranded in "a realm beyond" and trying to find a way home while battling an invading force called the Scavs. The brief gameplay footage shown of the game, after a pre-rendered sequence, appears to show a strong emphasis on freeform flying. Spyro: A Realm Beyond releases Spring 2027 for Xbox (on Game Pass), PlayStation 5, PC, and Switch 2.
🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformNew Crazy Taxi Game Revealed Using That Classic Offspring Song
As part of the Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-showcase-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-so-far/), Sega officially unveiled Crazy Taxi: World Tour, a reboot of the classic arcade game. It will be coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The brief gameplay teaser indicates that a lot of familiar elements from the original game will be returning, from a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge that confirms San Francisco as a location, Axel, one of the series' original drivers, who is also seen driving a passenger with a spiky punk hairdo. It's also soundtracked to the The Offspring's 'All I Want', an iconic song that featured in the original game. But as the title, and a previous developer interview(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-crazy-taxi-game-takes-the-open-world-route-with-mmo-elements/1100-6524616/), hints, this new entry will also reportedly feature online multiplayer elements set in an open world. While that is not explicitly shown in the this teaser, it does however end with a new driver parking up next to Axel and connecting with him via smartphone. The Crazy Taxi series has been effectively on ice for years, but during its glory days in the early 2000s, it was one of the premier arcade "racers," if you can call it that. It was famous not just for its delivery-based gameplay and distinct art style, but also for its soundtrack, which featured tunes from punk-rock legends Bad Religion and The Offspring. A reboot of Crazy Taxi was first announced back at The Game Awards 2023 with a trailer from Sega that also indicated that reboots for its other classic, dormant IP was coming, including Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe. Of the games announced in development, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is the only to have been released so far. Sega has however confirmed that these projects are still in development, despite the cancellation of its Super Game. Crazy Taxi: World Tour will be coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/42947dc1/wolong202.jpg.webp) Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember is the next game in the Dark Souls-inspired Three Kingdoms action game from Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja. The original Wo Long, Fallen Dynasty, released in 2023 and was a worthy entry(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/wo-long-fallen-dynasty/razor-sharp) in the canon of games inspired by From Software's work. Wars have been waged over the pursuit of the elixir of immortality, and you will apparently play a hero destined to "quell the chaos of this senseless cycle." The gameplay and visuals will look familiar to those who played the first game, but there is a new Phoenix ability whose mechanics are not yet totally clear. The game releases early 2027 on Xbox platforms., but also appears to be planned for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/8c14442e/wolong201.jpg.webp)

!Barbie Rewind Atari Digital Eclipse Collection (https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/06/a8c06310/barbierewindheader.jpg.webp) Digital Eclipse does video game collections arguably better than any other studio out there, so it's always a treat to see its latest. Following recent releases like the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection), The Making of Karateka(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/the-making-of-karateka), Tetris Forever, Atari 50(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/atari-50-the-anniversary-celebration), and more, the studio is rounding up classics from Barbie history in Barbie Rewind. Launching November 12 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, Barbie Rewind will let players decorate various rooms of Barbie's iconic Dreamhouse with more than 250 pieces of furniture, decor, and accessories inspired by real Barbie playsets from across the decades. Plus, Barbie has apparently left you her game collection, consisting of 16 classic Barbie games spanning 1991 to 2007. Check it out in the Barbie Rewind reveal trailer below: Digital Eclipse and publisher Atari haven't yet revealed the full list of the 16 games, but we do know one of them is the never-before-released Sega Genesis and SNES game, Barbie: Vacation Adventure. Others include the Game Boy Color's Barbie Pet Rescue and the Game Boy Advance's Barbie Horse Adventures: Blue Ribbon Race. When you're not playing through these Barbie classics, Barbie herself will call you in-game to give you quests – complete them to earn XP and unlock new items to decorate the Dreamhouse with. "Choose from three retro Dreamhouse designs for your exterior facade, walls, and floors," a description of the game reads. "You can even mix-and-match them from room to room. ... Plenty of familiar friends – Ken, Teresa, and Christie – pop in to get your help with designs for them, too. You can flip through pages of Barbie history in the beautiful digital lookbook." A standard physical edition of Barbie Rewind will be released for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch alongside a deluxe physical edition on those same two platforms. The deluxe edition will include a premium numbered box, an exclusive Barbie Rewind doll wearing an Atari t-shirt, a poster, and a copy of the game.

!Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/06/1a610fb1/Godzilla%201.jpg.webp) Developer Pipeworks Studios and publisher Atari have revealed Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, and it's launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on November 3.

When it launches this November, the remaster will bring enhanced visuals, an improved unlock system, quality-of-life improvements, and more to the original experience. It will also include the addition of online multiplayer, allowing you to duke it out in Versus or Melee modes, both online and via local couch co-op. Check it out in the Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered reveal trailer below: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered will feature 12 monsters to unlock and choose from, including, of course, the big man himself, Godzilla, alongside King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla, Rodan, and plenty more.

The game will be available on November 3 digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Did you play this back in the early 2000s? Let us know in the comments below!

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformMonster Hunter Developers Confirm Wilds Is Coming To Switch 2, Reveal New Ascendance Expansion Details
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/06/377a9fda/Monster%20Hunter%20Wilds%20Ascendance%20%20Developer%20Message%200-16%20screenshot.jpg.webp) Monster Hunter Wilds is getting a "massive expansion" next year, as is tradition for the series, and we saw the reveal at yesterday's Summer Game Fest showcase. The reveal on its own raised a lot of questions, but shortly after it went live, Capcom published a video on its YouTube channel to share more details about the expansion and announce that the game is in development for Switch 2. The video is a conversation between Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance's producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Takuro Hiraoka. As they mention in the video, while Tsujimoto was a producer on the base game, Hiraoka was not Wilds' director, and is taking the role over from Yuya Tokuda. Hiraoka says he's worked on the series since Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, a 2010 Japan-exclusive PSP title, and worked his way up to be lead game designer on Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and Monster Hunter World Iceborne. After the two break down Ascendance's not-so-subtle double meaning (it's both an advancement in gameplay and a literal ascension in elevation), they get into some more concrete details about the new area. It's officially called The Skybound Eyrie, and it's a series of floating ruins players can explore. As see in the trailer, Seikrets (the bird-like mounts from the base game) can ride updrafts to reach the islands, and then freely glide between them. Hiraoka also says, "We've prepared other environmental features unique to this locale, as well," though it's unclear what that might refer to. The duo also explains the Boost Bracer, a new mechanic we saw a glimpse of in the trailer. It enables new actions for each weapon type, enhancing "attacks, combos, and mobility, allowing for more versatility in hunts." The footage makes it look like some combos are faster, and maybe do more damage, but it's hard to tell specifics. "We're also preparing other new attacks and combos not related to the Boost Bracer," Hiraoka adds, though he doesn't clarify that statement either. Then, they go on to discuss some of the monsters players will be facing with these new moves. There's a flock of a new aerial monster that dive-bombs the player in a V-formation. The elder dragon Kushala Daora is also returning, and while they're not named, we see the silhouette of what appears to be Lao-Shan Lung. Hiraoka closes by saying, "Ascendance's story will be deeply connected with elder dragons," while Tsujimoto confirms the expansion for a 2027 release date. After some banter promoting Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (a game I reviewed and largely enjoyed), they close with a significant announcement: Monster Hunter Wilds is currently in development for Switch 2. That said, there's no release window, nor any mention of whether the Switch 2 version will ever get the Ascendance DLC. "We will announce more official information, such as a release date, at a later time," Tsujimoto says, ending the presentation.
