Subnautica 2 Dev Outlines Upcoming Content Drop, Including Brand-New Region

After all of the drama that played out in court(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-publisher-forced-to-reinstate-fired-ceo-judge-blames-kraftons-chatgpt-legal-advice/1100-6538819/), Subnautica 2(https://www.gamespot.com/games/subnautica-2/) has gotten off to a hot start(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-overcomes-pre-release-controversy-to-become-massive-hit-on-steam/1100-6539956/). There's still work to be done on this early-access release, but Unknown Worlds has now shared some of its plans to improve the game and previewed its next big update. In a new video, Subnautica 2 design lead Anthony Gallegos teased the upcoming content drop, which will introduce the Collector Leviathan's home as a new region. That update will feature a new chassis "that brings back one of the most requested player experiences," as well as fresh creatures and resources. Gallegos also teased it by saying, "I really think it's going to be the scariest the game has been yet, and I can't wait for you to try it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnnucBrqeKQ Following the most-recent hotfixes, Unknown Worlds is planning some smaller updates, including proximity voice chat "as soon as possible." Additional Biomod options are being added earlier in the game and players will be able to unlock more passive slots as well. Gallegos noted that players should be able to notice Blight encounters more easily, thanks to some adjustments to the aggression of the parasites. The dev team is also looking to allow players to replay the voice logs from their PDAs. According to Gallegos, Subnautica 2 has sold 4 million copies across Xbox Series X|S and PC since its launch, not counting the players from Game Pass. The game isn't currently available on PlayStation 5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-for-ps5-heres-what-we-know-so-far/1100-6539996/), and it's unknown when or if Subnautica 2 will be going cross-platform. The early-access period for Subnautica 2 is expected to last three years.

New PC Game Hijinks High From Laid-Off Xbox Developers Challenges You To Become A High School Menace

Sackbird Studios(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ex-elder-scrolls-online-devs-behind-canceled-mmo-project-blackbird-game-launch-a-new-studio/1100-6535321/), the independent studio founded by a number of developers who were at ZeniMax Online Studios before Microsoft canceled their new game and laid them off, has announced a new project called Hijinks High. It's an online co-op game where players team up with up to five others to "cause as much ruckus as possible" during a day of high school. The aim is to become "the school's menace." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL4IsR-aNb4 Players can take part in randomized missions where they are called to take smelly dumps in the bathroom and set booby traps. Players can also take on "dares," which can result in bodily injury that requires a trip to the hospital. Hijinks High also has players needing to manage their bodily needs, and that includes going pee, managing concussions, and dealing with stomachaches. "Stack illnesses and make huge parts of the school uninhabitable, or manage your resources wisely to avoid that warm, sticky feeling," reads a line from the game's description. Hijinks High is available to wishlist now on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/4112370/HijinksHigh/) and the Epic Games Store(https://store.epicgames.com/p/hijinks-afff82), but the game does not have a release date or pricing information yet. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Hijinksf6a1dc.jpg?w=1024) When Sackbird was announced in October 2025, the developer said it was self-funded “for multiple years” without the aid of outside investors. “After years in AAA, we wanted the freedom to take smart risks without waiting for a greenlight or chasing quarterly targets, said Sackbird Studios chief creative officer David Worley in a statement. “We’re fully employee-owned and funded, which means we only answer to people who are passionate about games.” The studio said it wanted to make “bold, character-driven experiences free from corporate compromises.” The developers were previously at the Microsoft/Xbox-owned ZeniMax Online Studios working on Project Blackbird(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-cancels-new-mmo-from-elder-scrolls-online-team-in-latest-wave-of-cuts-report/1100-6532915/), an MMO that was described as a cross between Cyberpunk 2077 and Destiny(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-details-emerge-about-elder-scrolls-online-teams-reportedly-canceled-mmo/1100-6533760/). Microsoft canceled the game in 2025(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-cancels-new-mmo-from-elder-scrolls-online-team-in-latest-wave-of-cuts-report/1100-6532915/) amid a wave of major cuts. ZeniMax Online Studios boss Matt Firor quit after Project Blackbird was canceled. He said it was the game he had been waiting his entire career to make(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-killed-mmo-project-blackbird-because-it-was-a-line-item-on-a-ledger-dev-says/1100-6539672/).

Backrooms Director Praises Valve’s “Integrity” For Not Making Sequels Just For Money

Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old director of one of 2026's most successful movies in Backrooms, is also a big fan of game developer Valve and specifically how the company is known to select its projects. Given the enormous success of Backrooms, people are naturally wondering what he's going to do next, and Parsons teased that "stuff may already be moving a little bit." Speaking on The Town podcast, Parsons singled out Valve as the closest comparison to what he would call his North Star in terms of his creative philosophy. "I think the integrity they have expressed with ... the philosophy of, 'Don't make it unless there is a meaningful reason motivating it behind the scenes.' Valve, they take it to such an extreme, where it's obviously motivated by the hardware and the technology aspect," he said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f90cLhMyCI The host, Matt Belloni, then interjected to say Parsons' answer sounded something like what Spider-Man actor Tom Holland said recently. Holland told GQ(https://www.gq.com/story/matt-damon-robert-pattinson-tom-holland-cover-interview-summer-2026) that he remembers having challenging conversations with Sony about Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He said he remembers saying, "'We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s Spider-Man 4 and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?'" he said. This way of thinking should be the baseline for artists, Parsons said in his explanation for why he likes how Valve operates. Valve, for its part, owns a number of popular franchises that haven't gotten lots of sequels, including the Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Half-Life franchises. And when Valve does make sequels, they aren't always what people expect. For the Half-Life series, few could have predicted that Valve would make Half-Life: Alyx for virtual reality, but the company did, and it was a big success. Fans are still waiting for Half-Life 3, however, and it may never come. Valve has the time and freedom to pursue projects in this way in part because of how massively successful its business is; founder Gabe Newell is a billionaire and has a fleet of megayachts(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gabe-newell-gets-new-363-foot-superyacht-with-hospital-and-15-gaming-pcs-on-board/1100-6536271/). Valve has courted controversy, too, and the company is currently facing a lawsuit over monopoly concerns(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-06-01/valve-s-antitrust-reckoning-over-steam-has-echoes-of-apple-google-app-store-sui). Also in the interview, Parsons discussed what's coming next for him, saying he's reluctant to work on an established IP--though there are "one or two" exceptions. These would be franchises from the early 2000s that resonate strongly and personally with Parsons. He declined to name them outright, and when Belloni chimed in to say naming them could help producers in Hollywood make it happen, Parsons teased, "Stuff may already be moving a little bit." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HjdiohVOik That being said, Parsons said he is more interested in telling his own original stories. "Needing to step into someone else's view of life tends to damage the initial point for me," he said. "So the only ones that I would look at are ones that have shaped my own experience of life so much that I feel like I have something to do with that conversation in the first place." He was asked specifically if he would jump at the chance to make a Star Wars or Star Trek movie, or an adaptation of any "big" franchises, and he said that doesn't interest him generally. Finally, Parsons teased that, among the possibilities for what he could make in the future, is a video game. "I'd love to look at games in the future," he said. Anyone who has seen Backrooms may have noticed that the film's creaking door sound was borrowed from Valve(https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY8EWXfEqYd/). Parsons has also said(https://www.tiktok.com/@letterboxd/video/7643924909541838094) Valve's Portal series has been his single biggest influence creatively. Backrooms released on May 29 and has so far earned an astonishing $135 million globally against a $10 million budget. It is A24's most successful movie of all time in the US, and its first ever to pass $100 million domestically. The movie is based on Parson's web series, which itself is based on a 4chan creepypasta thread. It stars Oscar-nominated actors Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, as they explore liminal spaces at a furniture store.

Netflix’s Devil May Cry Renewed for Third and Final Season

Netflix's animated show Devil May Cry was just renewed for its last season.

Devil May Cry’s Anime Was Secretly A Movie Trilogy All Along, And Season 3 Is The End

!(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/DMC-Dante.jpg?w=1024) Netflix's Devil May Cry Netflix has dropped some good and bad news for fans of its Devil May Cry animated adaptation, as it has confirmed that the show will be back for a third and final season. Showrunner Adi Shankar also addressed how the third season will bring the first--and only--arc of Devil May Cry to a close, and it represents the culmination of the story he aimed to tell. But with one season left to go, he hinted at how he's planning to do something different. "This was always Dante's Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat," Shankar wrote. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up The Force Edge Saga. Since its inception, The Force Edge Saga has been designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series. One last thing--'3' is not going to be a normal third 'season' of a TV show. With 'Season 3,' I am doing something very different. I am crafting a blueprint for how this game is won. See You all in 'Paradise.' Shankar also wrote about how both seasons of Devil May Cry have punched above their weight and "wiped the floor" with AAA IP adaptations with "millions of dollars" in marketing. According to the showrunner, he set out to make American animation cool, expand Devil May Cry's footprint across the world, and become a "ratings god" in the process. "I set out to prove that video game adaptations do not have to be flavorless corporate sludge assembled in a content factory by emotionally vacant brand managers who secretly loathe the source material," Shankar added. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpie-fec5qY&pp=ygUeZGV2aWwgbWF5IGNyeSBzZWFzb24gMiB0cmFpbGVy The second season of Devil May Cry recently landed on Netflix, and it picks up shortly after the events of the first season. With Vergil joining the cast, the show found its trinity of characters to focus the story on, and reviews have been generally positive(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/netflixs-devil-may-cry-season-2-redeems-the-worst-game-in-the-series/1900-6418490/) for Season 2. Several lingering plot threads still remain unresolved, but as Shankar has teased, he's looking to end the show on a high note when it returns.
