!Castlevania Belmont's Curse october release date reveal gameplay trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/d6cf02bb/castlevania06.jpg.webp) Castlevania: Belmont's Curse(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/castlevania-belmonts-curse), the highly anticipated 2D action game from the teams behind Dead Cells(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/dead-cells/one-of-the-best-roguelikes-to-date), launches this October. More specifically, developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin, and publisher Konami, will release the next installment of Castlevania on October 15 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Set 23 years before Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which launched on the NES way back in 1989, Belmont's Curse puts players in control of a new Belmont protagonist(https://www.gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/castlevania-belmonts-curse-made-by-konami-and-the-dead-cells-devs-launches), who takes up the holy Vampire Killer whip to destroy all manner of medieval and unholy creatures. Given it's a new 2D sidescrolling action game from the minds behind the excellent Dead Cells, it's unsurprising that today's new look at Belmont's Curse gameplay is an impressive one. Check it out in the Castlevania: Belmont's Curse release date trailer below: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches October 15, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Spyro: 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.
New 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.

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.
