🎮 Multi-platformThe Best Stardew Valley-Like Is Finally Hitting 1.0 With A Big Update
Since Stardew Valley came along to reinvigorate the cozy farm sim, many games have tried to emulate the formula and add their own twists with varying degrees of success. In all that time none have come as close to matching or exceeding Stardew as Fields of Mistria, and it's coming out of early access with a big update on August 5. The announcement(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2142790/view/669493247455789925) details all the changes coming in the Mistria 1.0 update. Most notably it closes the loop on some quests and stories that have been dangling for early access players. You will be able to complete the Town Repair storyline that marks the major progression quest in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlKzf6oKQ4g Less mission critical, but still pretty important for a Stardew-like, it will allow you to complete romances by reaching 10 Hearts with romanceable NPCs. At that level you'll be able to propose, get married, and have kids. The 1.0 update will also add more dungeon quests and rewards, furniture, cosmetics, mount skins, and other miscellany. Fields of Mistria is similar in many ways to Stardew Valley, including its pixel art and tile-based farming structures. But it also mixes in elements of magical upgrades to streamline some of the busywork, and its dungeon-crawling elements implement the magic into combat. It currently sits at an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/2142790/FieldsofMistria/) with more than 20,000 reviews. Fields of Mistria 1.0 Update Villagers & Romance: - NPC Heart caps raised to 10 Hearts - 10 Hearts Proposal & Wedding Events for romanceable NPCs - Marriage & Children - Stillwell & Zorel join the Saturday Market Mines & Dungeons: - Additional Dungeon Quests - Additional Dungeon rewards Town & Renown: - Renown Level cap raised to 100 - Additional Town Repair Questline events - Town Repair Storyline is completable - Additional Requests added to the Request Board. - Additional Museum sets and rewards.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformBarbie Rewind Is A Digital Eclipse Collection Of 16 Classic Games Baked Into A Dreamhouse Decorator
!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. Check it out below: !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/06/031bf668/dreamhousedeluxeedition.jpg.webp) Barbie Rewind launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 12.

🎮 Multi-platformCronos: The New Dawn Gets Lazarus DLC That Shifts The Game From Survival Horror To Fast-Paced Action This Fall
!Cronos The New Dawn Lazarus Story DLC Bloober Team(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/06/7af7d775/cronoslazarus2.jpg.webp) Cronos: The New Dawn(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/cronos-the-new-dawn), Bloober Team's latest original survival horror game, launched last September, but it seems the studio isn't done with the game yet. The upcoming (and newly announced) Lazarus DLC will put players in the boots of the Warden from the base game, shifting the experience from a slower survival horror game to a fast-paced action game, sometime this Fall. It sounds like Lazarus will be a prequel to the base story of Cronos: The New Dawn, as it will allow players to control the Warden, following his journey in his prime from pathfinder to the character we know today. His character will feature a unique set of skills, including decoys that allow you to move quickly through danger, giving Lazarus a different game feel than Cronos: The New Dawn, according to Bloober Team. Check it out in the Cronos: Lazarus DLC reveal trailer below: Bloober Team describes Cronos: The New Dawn as a slower survival horror game, but says playing as the Warden will turn the experience into "a faster, more aggressive take on Cronos' survival horror formula, with combat defined by speed, pressure, and constant danger." You'll be up against the Tracker, a persistent new threat whose only objective is to hunt you down and kill you. The story is one of rebellion, inner conflict, and the cost of defying the Collective, according to the team. "Cronos: The New Dawn is our original IP – an ambitious risk that allows us to create something truly unique," Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno writes in a press release. "We're thrilled to expand the Cronos universe with Cronos: Lazarus. The Warden has resonated strongly with audiences, and we're excited to see Alan Turkington return to this iconic role." Cronos: Lazarus is scheduled to launch sometime this Fall on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
