33-Player Co-Op Raider, 33 Immortals, Will Finally Release In Full Soon
33 Immortals has been available via early access for some time, but if you've been itching to experience the full game, you needn't wait much longer. Announced as part of Summer Game Fest and Day of the Devs, 33 Immortals' 1.0 release arrives on June 10. That date applies to both the PC versions--across both Steam and Epic Games Store--as well as the Xbox Series X|S version. It existed on Xbox previous as part of the Xbox Game Preview program, with functions similarly to Steam Early Access. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOH4jKB4SQg "After over a year of community feedback and optimization during early access, 33 Immortals 1.0 introduces the complete 33 Immortals experience, including all three fully playable worlds, the long-awaited final-boss encounter, and a variety of new content and improvements throughout the game," Thunder Lotus said in the official announcement. 33 Immortals is a very different game from Thunder Lotus' previous release, Spiritfarer, which was decidedly less violent. In 33 Immortals, you and 32 others battle dangerous bosses, essentially distilling the MMO-raid experience down to just the best moments.

Empulse Is A 6v6 Titanfall 2-Like FPS From The Splitgate Devs
!Empulse Titanfall 2 Shooter FPS 6v6 Splitgate Devs 1047 Games Early Access(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/02/fa72cba5/empulse11.jpeg.webp) Splitgate(https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/12/04/splitgate-2-has-been-rebooted-as-splitgate-arena-reloaded-and-it-relaunches-this-month) developer 1047 Games has released the first-ever cinematic trailer for Empulse(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/empulse-early-access), its in-development 6v6 first-person shooter, and it sure does remind us of Titanfall 2(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/titanfall-2), but that's by design because the team is not hiding its inspiration. The game is set to launch into Early Access sometime in the future, though it doesn't specify on which platforms. However, you can wishlist the game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, so it's presumably at least going to be playable there. The cinematic trailer gives a quick look at this neo-futuristic world where Empulse's first-person shooting action takes place, and of course, there are grapple hooks, wall-running, jump pads, and mechs. Alongside this cinematic trailer, released yesterday, 1047 Games says it will reveal the first-ever look at Empulse gameplay on Sunday, June 7, during the PC Gaming Show (just one of the many Summer Games Fest-adjacent showcases(https://www.gameinformer.com/2026/05/19/the-2026-summer-showcase-schedule)). Check out the Empulse cinematic reveal trailer for yourself below: 1047 Games describes Empulse as a "fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter set in the post-utopian streets of Freehold," where wall-running, grappling, holojumps, and more form the foundation of every fight and "where player-controllable mechs become the most contested objective." The team also makes clear that Empulse is directly inspired by Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series. "Our dream has always been to be a multi-game studio, and this is the kind of game we love making: a fast, arcade-style FPS gameplay that rewards player expression and skill," a post on X(https://x.com/PlayEmpulse/status/2061508486295704027) from the studio reads. "That is the type of gameplay we love, and Empulse is the purest version of that idea we have built so far. We have a lot of Titanfall fans on this team, and we have heard a lot of the same from our community over the years. More movement. More verticality. More ways to express yourself in a fight. Empulse is our answer to that." In Empulse, you can wall-run forward and backward, use a grappling hook to swing and close gaps, and jump via holojumps to experience a snowboard-like sensation of momentum. You can also deploy Plasma Activated Infusion of Nano-Tech (P.A.I.N.T.). Bombs to make different surfaces behave in unique ways that include speed and jump boosts, new lines that didn't exist prior to the deployment, and more. Here are some additional Empulse screenshots: The studio says mechs are the "true power spike" in Empulse, adding that they change the energy of a match the second they arrive. "Instead of being something every player calls in throughout each game, mechs spawn on the map as the most powerful objective in the match, and your crew has to fight for control of them," the post on X reads. "Think of it like fighting over the rocket launcher in classic Halo, except this rocket launcher walks, has unique abilities, and a massive health pool." Empulse is expected to launch into Early Access sometime this year. Do you think this features the right Titanfall vibes?

Xbox and PlayStation have a lot to prove
Things are bad out there. Despite 2026 shaping up to be a great year when it comes to actual games, it couldn't really be worse for the people that make them or the industry as a whole.

Asus just announced the OLED Xbox Ally X of my dreams
If you asked me what I'd change about the Xbox Ally X handheld - aside from fixing Windows, I mean - I'd tell you two key things. First, give me a bigger, better screen. Even a little bit bigger, so games feel less claustrophobic and with less ugly bezel. Second, get rid of the "Library" &8230;

Hanging out in my favorite virtual coffee shop in Tokyo
Finding a cafe that fits you can be a revelatory experience. For me at least, there are few places outside of my house that I can truly feel comfortable in. I'm lucky enough to have two options in walking distance: a coffee shop that's bright, airy, and full of art, and another that doubles as &8230;
