🎮 Multi-platformCreative Assembly Shows Off Alien: Isolation 2 With New Trailer
Following a tease earlier this year, Alien Isolation 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/alien-isolation-2-is-in-early-development-with-original-director-returning/1100-6526951/) was officially revealed during a new trailer that debuted as part of Summer Game Fest(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi2dJHeCAh0 Like the original Alien: Isolation(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/alien-isolation-review/1900-6415897/), which released in 2014, the sequel is being developed by Creative Assembly, published by Sega, and directed by Al Hope. Just under two minutes long, the trailer provides a glimpse at a mysterious, rainy planet (presumably where the game will take place) and the voice of what seems to be Weyland-Yutani's CEO can be heard chastising someone for an expensive mistake. "That's something the company rarely forgives," she continues. "This is your last chance, do you understand?" "Yes," replies a second female voice who sound an awful lot like Amanda Ripley. "I understand." An abandoned flamethrower can be seen lying on the ground, still burning, as a close-up shot of a Xenomorph slithering through the shadows sets the stage for another pulse-pounding survival-horror experience. Aside from the Xenomorph, the trailer doesn't offer a look at any other characters, but it's hard to imagine playing as anyone other than Amanda, daughter of Ellen Ripley and protagonist of the original game. The wait for Alien Isolation 2 has certainly been a long one, with the previous game releasing all the way back in 2014. Since then, there's been something of a resurgence for the Alien brand--we've gotten multiple films as well as the excellent Alien: Earth series, for which Season 2 is currently in production. Per the trailer, Alien: Isolation 2 will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S, and is currently available to wishlist on Steam, though it's listing page doesn't appear to have gone live at the time of writing.
🎮 Multi-platformTwo New Cuphead Games Revealed, And One Is A Pixel-Art Spin-Off
StudioMDHR has announced that it's developing not one but two new Cuphead games during Summer Game Fest 2026(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/). One of these will be a hand-animated game, although there are no further details, nor confirmation that it will follow in the same animation style of the original game, which was inspired by 1930s cartoons. Given that the world-premiere trailer was accompanied by a special bulletin created by Toronto’s Stop Motion Department & Continue Agency, it may be a hint that the next game will be a stop-motion game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReKPvy2vDBs What we do know is that the second game, being developed by a smaller team within StudioMDHR, is a retro-inspired platforming spin-off titled Mighty Cuphead Adventure. A few brief seconds of gameplay shown via a CRT TV indicate the 8-bit title will feature run-and-gun stages as well boss fights with familiar faces. While Mighty Cuphead Adventure is confirmed for console and PC, it's not just emulating 8-bit games as Studio MDHR has confirmed that it has been built with clasic Assembly language. This means that hardcore retro fans will be able to play the game on a physical cartridge on the Sega Master System. T
🎮 Multi-platformTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin Is Being Developed By Platinum Games, First Trailer Revealed
!Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin TMNT Platinum Games Paramount(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/03/c03ae636/TMNT-The-Last-Ronin.jpg.webp) Paramount has formed Paramount Games Studio, a unified gaming effort to translate its various IPs into video games, and one of its first games out of the gate will be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-the-last-ronin). We knew this game was in development at Paramount(https://www.gameinformer.com/2023/08/11/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-the-last-ronin-officially-revealed-through-teaser-trailer), but now we know that Bayonetta(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/bayonetta-3/for-extravagances-sake) and Nier: Automata(https://gameinformer.com/games/nierautomata/b/playstation4/archive/2017/03/06/nier-automata-game-informer-review.aspx) developer Platinum Games is developing it, courtesy of the first-ever trailer for the action-adventure game. Platinum fans will know this isn't the first time the Osaka-based studio has worked on TMNT, as it's behind 2016's hack-and-slash action game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan(https://gameinformer.com/games/teenagemutantninjaturtlesmutantsinmanhattan/b/playstation4/archive/2016/05/27/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-mutants-in-manhattan-game-informer-review.aspx). But given the source material, the potential for The Last Ronin is high. Publisher Paramount Games describes The Last Ronin as a triple-A action-adventure game that will follow the last surviving Ninja Turtle (don't look up who it is if you don't know, because that's part of the mystery and enjoyment of the comic!) on a desperate mission for vengeance. The first trailer aired during today's Summer Game Fest stream. Check out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: The Last Ronin reveal trailer for yourself below: "Strong storytelling is what gives a franchise its staying power, and games are one of the most powerful ways for fans to step inside that story," senior vice president and head of creative and production at Paramount Games Shawn Kittelsen writes in a press release. "At Paramount Games, we're unifying creative visions across all of our business divisions from the start, building interconnected worlds where narrative serves as the connective tissue, turning players into lifelong fans and franchises into enduring brands. TMNT: The Last Ronin is the epitome of this vision coming to life." Speaking of Paramount Games, Kittelsen, who has worked on Mortal Kombat 11, Injustice 2, The Walking Dead, and Invincible, is just one of many video game industry veterans heading the studio. He's joined by executive vice president and head of games Dan Prigg, who previously held senior roles at Scopely and Unity, senior vice president of marketing and communications Andrea Silvers, who has worked in leadership at EA and EA Sports, senior vice president of business development and licensing Kara Bilkiss, who has held positions at Sony Pictures and Rogue Games, and senior vice president of engineering Ray Davis, who previously worked on Gears of War, Unreal Engine 4, Xbox, Kinect, and HoloLens. These five and the others building Paramount Games plan to "transform world-class IP into immersive franchise experiences" with a new studio that includes all of Paramount and Skydance gaming studios, including Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media. "This division launch marks a meaningful evolution in how we think about games – not as an extension of our business, but as a core pillar of our content strategy alongside film, television, and streaming," Prigg writes in a press release. "We are committed to creating exceptional games for every type of player, from our casual to AAA, and building enduring experiences across our beloved Paramount IP and original worlds that deepen fan engagement and drive long-term growth." That's a lot of corporate mumbo jumbo we'll have to take Paramount's word on, but nonetheless, this new games division is teaming up with Platinum Games to make The Last Ronin, and that's an exciting prospect. While waiting to learn more about The Last Ronin, read Game Informer's exclusive interview with TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman(https://www.gameinformer.com/exclusive-interview/2024/03/05/tmnt-co-creator-kevin-eastman-on-why-the-last-ronin-is-being-made) on why this comic is being made into a video game, and then read Game Informer's deep dive into the expansive video game history of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(https://www.gameinformer.com/feature/2024/05/01/turtle-power).

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformStranger Than Heaven Gets January Release Date In New Trailer That Features In-Game Tupac And More
!Ryu Ga Gotoku Stranger Than Heaven Action Game Yakuza Like a Dragon Tupac(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/d8161bc8/strangerthanheaven03.jpg.webp) Like A Dragon studio Ryu Ga Gotoku has released a new trailer for Stranger Than Heaven(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/stranger-than-heaven), revealing that the action game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on January 15, 2027. Oh, and Tupac – the deceased West Coast rapper – is in the game, seemingly as himself. Revealed during today's Summer Game Fest showcase, the latest Stranger Than Heaven trailer not only highlights the January 15 release date but also provides a quick look at various big-name members of the cast, including Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Yu Shirota, Dean Fujioka, Moeka Hoshi, Tokuma Nishioka, Tori Kelly, Satoshi Fujihara, Akio Otsuka, Ado, Cordell Broadus, and Bunta Suguwara. Check it out for yourself in the latest Stranger Than Heaven trailer for yourself below: Stranger Than Heaven is a prequel of sorts to RGG Studio's long-running Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, as it takes place across five time periods(https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-partner-preview/2026/03/26/stranger-than-heaven-will-take-place-across-five-time-periods-deep) – 1915, 1929, 1943, 1951, and 1965 – eventually connecting to the fictional Kamurocho, where the aforementioned action games take place, and the Tojo Clan is active in.

🎮 Multi-platformShadow Of The Colossus, Ico Creator Fumito Ueda Reveals New Game Gen Atlas
We received a fresh look at the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda at Summer Game Fest(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/). Previously teased as Project Robot(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/shadow-of-the-colossus-creator-reveals-untitled-new-game/1100-6528438/), the game is now titled Gen Atlas. A new trailer focused heavily on the sense of scale that you might expect from the acclaimed game director. Though the trailer was light on story or gameplay details, it did show snippets of elements we might be able to expect from it. What appeared to be a flying mech head used a beam to lift up a mech body and attach to it, and later a mech was seen carrying and swinging a giant pillar. We also saw some ways that smaller human-scale characters will interact with the mechs, such as a humanoid character shooting at creatures from a moving tank, or climbing up a mech that was in motion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etqFoXpIecw Shadow of the Colossus also notoriously dealt with scale, as you would climb giant beasts to exploit their weak spots. This game appears to express similar ideas, though with a mechanized-robot component. The shooting combat also looked notably more similar to third-person shooters than we've traditionally seen in Ueda's games. Shadow of the Colossus was critically acclaimed when it first released on PlayStation 2, and then again when Bluepoint Games released a remake on PS4 in 2018. Ueda's last game for Sony was The Last Guardian, after which he left to found his own studio called GenDesign.
🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformAlien Isolation 2 Is The Official Title Of The Sequel
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/bafd4ddd/alien01.jpg.webp) Creative Assembly, the developer behind Alien Isolation, confirmed it was working on a sequel back in April(https://www.gameinformer.com/2026/04/27/were-finally-getting-a-sequel-to-alien-isolation-12-years-later), but today during Summer Game Fest, we learned the game's official title and saw some footage of the game. The game seems to take place on land (as opposed to in space) and where the Xenomorph is unleashed on an unsuspecting colony called Kurosaki Station. The game does not yet have a release date, but it is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Switch 2. !(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entitybrowserthumbnail/public/2026/06/05/bafd4ddd/alien01.jpg.webp)!(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entitybrowserthumbnail/public/2026/06/05/21217d08/alien02.jpg.webp)!(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entitybrowserthumbnail/public/2026/06/05/8f49ce21/alien03.jpg.webp)
🖥 PC, Multi-platformHaex Is A Co-Op Survival Shooter Set In A Nordic Wilderness Overtaken By Aliens
!Haex Dead Astronauts co-op cooperative multiplayer first person shooter survival(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/04/ffafe91a/haexkeyartlogo1920x1080.jpg.webp) Dead Astronauts, a Sweden-based studio made up of former Epic Games and Massive Entertainment devs, has revealed its first game, Haex, and it's a co-op survival FPS set in the Nordic Wilderness. Besides surviving the harsh landscape, players will also need to fend off aliens and other mysterious creatures now calling these wilds home. The game is currently in development for PC, but there's no release date yet. Revealed during the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase, you and up to three friends must explore the sub-arctic north to investigate the appearance of a massive and ominous monolith while trying to find where the rest of your expedition crew disappeared to. You'll do so in first-person using a variety of guns to fend off hulking alien creatures and more, all while managing your temperature, thirst, resources, and more. Check it out in the Haex reveal trailer below: As you can see in the trailer, the deeper you go into the mist, the more treacherous your expedition. Players will need to utilize different combat tactics, firearms, melee weapons, and unique gadgets to survive. Plus, you can use alien seeds scattered about to reshape parts of the open world to discover new caches of resources and give your crew an edge. "With Haex, our ambition is to create an innovative, memorable open-world action adventure survival game that we, as players, would love to play and discover ourselves," Dead Astronauts co-founder and Haex creative director Tobias Nyman writes in a press release. "We've poured a great deal of care, creativity, and hard work into building a universe where players can fundamentally reshape their world and determine their own path forward." Here are some additional Haex screenshots: Dead Astronauts says that progress in Haex carries over between sessions, letting players bring gear and resources obtained in one playgroup into the crew of another. However, characters and worlds are saved separately, so each world maintains its own independent state and storyline. There's no word on when Haex will launch, but it's currently in development on PC for Steam and the Epic Games Store. Is Haex something you're interested in checking out with friends?

🎮 Multi-platformGen Atlas, The Next Game By The Director Of Ico And Shadow Of The Colossus, Has A New Trailer
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/6cc1fcb0/genatlast05.jpg.webp) GenDesign, the studio led by Fumito Ueda, director of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, has revealed a new trailer for its next game, previously codenamed Project Robot. The mysterious title that first debuted at The Game Awards 2024 is officially called Gen Atlas. Gen Atlas is described as a single-player, open-world action-adventure game. The trailer features copious amounts of giant robots, both active and derelict, on a desolate planet. In a big surprise, the protagonist wields various firarms used to blast enemies in third-person shooter combat, a first for a Ueda game. The trailer also shows the character scaling a giant robot and piloting one of its massive heads. A press release for the game provides the following synopsis: Without knowing why, you awaken on an abandoned planet. Before you lies a vast, silent world. Colossal structures stretch over endless plains, deserted facilities, and an ever-changing sea. The remnants of some grand design litter the planet’s surface. As you journey deeper into this strange world, a colossal robot awaits. Its overwhelming power opens paths to places once beyond reach, transforming your conception of the world. Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more… Gen Atlas has no release window, but it will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and, because Epic is publishing the game, exclusively to the Epic Games Store on PC.
🎮 Multi-platformStudio MDHR Announces Two New Games: Mighty Cuphead Adventure And A Cuphead Sequel
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/538f71cc/mightycuphead02.jpg.webp) Studio MDHR, the developer behind 2017's Cuphead, has announced it's making two different Cuphead games. The first is a full sequel to the original, but the other is a spin-off called Mighty Cuphead Adventure, and we got our first glimpse at it today. Check out the reveal teaser below: Temporarily ditching the hand-drawn, Steamboat Willie aesthetic, Might Cuphead Adventure is instead a throwback to a more recent era. Specifically, its pixel graphics and box art evoke old-school Sonic the Hedgehog, though its gameplay seems to resemble the traditional Cuphead gameplay we know and love, combining tight platforming with bullet-hell obstacles. Cuphead, first released in 2017, remains one of the most beloved indie games, even nearly a decade after its release. The hand-drawn, rubber hose-style animation was groundbreaking at the time, and undoubtedly influenced other recent games, including the recent Mouse: PI for Hire. For omre Cuphead, check out our reviews for the base game(https://gameinformer.com/games/cuphead/b/xboxone/archive/2017/10/02/cuphead-review-tempest-in-a-teacup.aspx) and the Delicious Last Course DLC(https://gameinformer.com/review/cuphead-the-delicious-last-course/tasty-sips-from-a-worthy-grail).
🎮 Multi-platformNew Blood Message Trailer Is Giving Us Serious God Of War And Last Of Us Vibes
!Blood Message 24 Entertainment NetEase Games Single Player Action Chinese Ancient China(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/04c62c3c/1.jpg.webp) Publisher NetEase Games and developer 24 Entertainment delivered another look at Blood Message(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/blood-message), the single-player action game set during the Tang Dynasty of China, and it gave us some serious God of War and Last of Us vibes. It helps that the main character, who remains nameless for now, is fighting tooth and nail in violent and brutal third-person combat to protect his son, but Blood Message is also about a massive journey across a treacherous landscape in hopes of saving his home, too. Through this trailer, we learn that our protagonist and his fellows are part of a larger historical Chinese conflict over the Hexi Corridor in what is known as the Gansu province of China today. This corridor is part of the Silk Road trade route, making control of it critical for the region's power holders: in this case, the Tang Dynasty. But the Tubo, or the Tibetan Empire, is fighting for the land and its resources. Our mysterious hero, a soldier and messenger, will fight for his home, doubly so when his son goes missing, sending him on a trek across China. On this journey, he'll cross lethal war-torn landscapes like sweltering deserts, the humid wilds of East and Central Asia, and more. And he'll be engaging in visceral combat that looks like a mix of God of War and The Last of Us. Check it out in the new Blood Message trailer for yourself: "Set in the late Tang Dynasty in 848 AD, players take on the role of a nameless messenger who embarks on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of his homeland," a description of Blood Message from 24 Entertainment reads. "Alongside his son, they must survive relentless enemy sieges and a treacherous three-thousand-li (one thousand mile) odyssey, fighting against impossible odds to return to the heart of the Tang: Chan'an. Amidst the desert sands, they etch the final tale of loyalty in the Great Tang. When history forgets, warriors remember. The world has heard too many stories of emperors and generals – Blood Message is an ode to the unsung heroes." Here are some additional screenshots: There's still no word on when to expect Blood Message, and though we know it's coming to PC and consoles, we still don't know which ones. In the meantime, check out the Blood Message reveal trailer from last year(https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/06/20/netease-reveals-its-first-triple-a-single-player-game-blood-message-and-it-looks-awesome).

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformResident Evil: Veronica Is A Code Veronica Remake And It Launches Next Year
!Resident Evil: Veronica Reveal Trailer Remake Capcom 2027(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/0245e4a4/veronica01.jpg.webp) Capcom has revealed Resident Evil: Veronica, a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, and it's launching next year, presumably on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It was revealed during today's Summer Game Fest showcase, and it follows Capcom's most recent Resident Evil remake, 2023's Resident Evil 4 remake. The original Resident Evil – Code: Veronica is a bit of an in-between game that takes place after Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (but was released after Nemesis). It originally launched in 2000 and received the HD treatment in 2011. Given Capcom's track record remaking its Resident Evil games of late, this remake wasn't all that unexpected. But it's still exciting nonetheless. And surprise: it looks gorgeous, like all of the other Resident Evil remakes. Check it out in the Resident Evil: Veronica reveal trailer for yourself below: This remake seems to be following the original game closely, with Clair Redfield heading to Paris, France, to infiltrate an Umbrella Corporation facility and rescue her brother, Chris Redfield. Resident Evil shenanigans ensue, and it's a great time. Resident Evil: Veronica is due out sometime next year.
🎮 Multi-platformEA Sports Has A New $150 Subscription, And It Surprisingly Might Be Good
If you're planning to buy either Madden NFL 27(https://www.gamespot.com/games/madden-nfl-27/) or EA Sports College Football 27(https://www.gamespot.com/games/ea-sports-college-football-27/), EA has a new subscription service that may appeal to hardcore football fans. By paying $150 for the new MVP+ membership, players get the deluxe editions of both games, access to beta releases, and a lot of extra features throughout the year. EA has shared the complete benefits(https://www.ea.com/games/bundles/mvp-plus-membership/features) of MVP+, as reproduced below: EA Sports College Football 27 Deluxe Edition Membership-only Rewards: 7 Day Early Access Beta Access (June 4-7) Monthly Ultimate Team™ Pack (12, one delivered at the start of every month) All Mascots unlocked in Mascot Mashup 83 OVR BND Cornerstones player (Choice of 1 of 4) 150 Dynasty Coach Points Exclusive Dynasty Skill Tree | Rainmaker 500 Road to Glory Skill Points Deluxe Edition Rewards: 4600 College Football Points Exclusive Early Access Solo Challenges 81 OVR BND Cover Athlete Player Item (Choice of 1 of 3) 1 Upgradable Ultimate Team Player Item Madden NFL 27 Deluxe Edition Membership-only Rewards: 7 Day Early Access Beta Access (June 11-14) Monthly Ultimate Team Pack (12, one delivered at the start of every month) 4 Superstar Skill Points (Core, Physical, Specialty, and Mental) Season 1 Player Item Deluxe Edition Rewards: 4600 Madden Points Exclusive Early Access Solo Challenges Cover Athlete Elite Ultimate Team Player Item 500 Franchise Points 1 Superstar Legendary XP Boost 1 Ultimate Team Evo Item Although EA plans to make the MVP+ a subscription service for next year's Madden and College Football games, players do have the option of declining to automatically renew. Doing so won't result in losing either game or any of the benefits because all of it is paid for upfront. This deal is only available in the United States and Canada for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 users. EA Play and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also get a 10% for their MVP+ membership. Players Alliance--a group that is staunchly opposed to EA's pending buyout by investors including Saudi Arabia's PIF--issued a statement that condemns the MVP+ subscription for its "aggressive monetization." "EA's new MVP+ membership is another attempt to rip off gamers by adding a yearly subscription on top of games that already push aggressive monetization. This is an anti-consumer practice that turns everything from basic game features to bonus perks to early access into another recurring charge for people who already paid for the game. Gamers are watching EA turn more of gaming into a recurring charge, and the proposed private equity buyout will only accelerate that trend by saddling the company with $20 billion in debt. If EA wants gamers to keep supporting its games, it needs to pull out of this deal and stop nickel-and-diming its customers."
