🎮 Multi-platformAC Black Flag Remake Basically Lets You Become Aquaman
Now that gaming's worst-kept (and one of the worst-named) secrets, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced(https://www.gamespot.com/games/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced/), has been revealed, Ubisoft is talking more about what you can expect from the pirate sim. This includes new accessibility features that let you do everything from skipping QTEs to disabling shark attacks to breathing underwater forever--because sailors always had gills. In a May 7 interview on the Ubisoft blog(https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/759plQmVmAvQySTmxx0r09/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-accessibility-spotlight), director of user experience Jonathan Bedard and game designer Maksym Smolynets detailed the accessibility features that've been baked into the Black Flag remake(https://www.gamespot.com/games/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag/). There are your usual additions, such as aim-assist options, difficulty settings, and text-size adjustments. There are also some newer features, including autopilot navigation while sailing the Jackdaw and controller configurations for left-handed gamers. But deeper in the interview are some fascinating changes, too, such as turning off those absolutely frightening shark attacks. You know the ones. Protagonist Edward Kenway would submerge himself in one of the seven seas and, while swimming for treasure, might get chomped to bits by Jaws. Performed as a quick-time event, if you didn't press the buttons in sequential order fast enough, then you'd become fish food for the sharks. That's no fun.

🎮 Multi-platformPreorders Are Live For Lego's Adorable New Animal Crossing Timmy & Tommy Set

Despite their admirable work ethic, the brothers deserve some time off--and that's just what they get in Lego's new Timmy & Tommy's Fun Day Out set(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DVZfI20jEa0c%26mid%3D13923%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.lego.com%252Fen-us%252Fproduct%252Fanimal-crossing-77059-77059%253FCMP%253DAFC-AffiliateUS-TnL5HPStwNw-2116208-2029240-10&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews%2F&eventtype=click), which is now available for preorder for $60 and comes out on August 1.

This Lego set measures 7.5 inches high, nine inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep and depicts the brothers playing on the Red Zen Bridge from New Horizons, with fish swimming in the lake below, flowers dotting the grass on both sides, and a bit of cracked earth that reveals a buried fossil. There's also a familiar red balloon floating overhead with a present that contains a DIY recipe card, a movable butterfly, a fishing rod, and a flag, so you can use these accessories to customize the scene any way you want. This set is ideal for builders 10 years of age and up and contains 513 pieces. You can use the Lego Builders app to guide you as you build, which will save your sets, help you keep track of your progress, and rotate the models so you can see them from all sides. Preorder at Lego(https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=VZfI20jEa0c&mid=13923&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lego.com%2Fen-us%2Fproduct%2Fanimal-crossing-77059-77059%3FCMP%3DAFC-AffiliateUS-TnL5HPStwNw-2116208-2029240-10) This is the seventh set in Lego's current Animal Crossing series, and they're all just as cute as you might imagine. The previous six sets are all available at Lego and range in price from $10 to $90. However, it's worth noting that Lego no longer makes some of its original Animal Crossing sets(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lego-animal-crossing-best-deals-available-now/1100-6524782/), so if you want to collect them all, don't wait too long to pick them up.

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformStar Fox On Switch 2 Isn't Just A Retread, It's A Fresh Start
The internet's reaction to Nintendo's surprise announcement of a new Star Fox game was, to put it charitably, mixed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fans-cant-stop-clowning-on-the-latest-star-fox-reveal/1100-6539829/). The new game is actually in many ways an old game--a remake of Star Fox 64, with fully revamped graphics, new animated cutscenes with a more realistic style for Fox and his crew, and other bells and whistles. For those hoping for an all-new Star Fox game, it was a letdown. But take heart, Arwing aces: This appears to be part of a calculated strategy to finally make Fox McCloud the star (fox) he deserves to be. Star Fox has never been the most popular of Nintendo's franchises, as compared to others like Mario or Zelda. Star Fox fans widely agree that Star Fox 64 is hands-down the best game of the series, which means it peaked almost 30 years ago. Since then, the series has often felt adrift, meandering between experiments like Star Fox Command and Star Fox Guard, remakes like Star Fox 64 3D, and quasi-remakes like Star Fox Zero. Now, it seems, Nintendo has decided that Fox deserves better, and it's doing all it can to make him a household name. The clearest indication is his shoehorned cameo in The Super Mario Galaxy movie, which was virtually a commercial for Star Fox. After a stylish anime intro, the other characters just take a beat to openly talk about how awesome Fox is. Toad actually calls him the coolest guy he's ever met in his life. It's not subtle! The message is clear: Hey kids, this is Fox McCloud, and he rules.

🎮 Multi-platformNew Lego Batman Needle-Drops Kiss From A Rose, Giving Batman Forever The Respect It Deserves
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight(https://www.gamespot.com/games/lego-batman-legacy-of-the-dark-knight/) is aiming to be the ultimate celebration(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-lego-batman-legacy-of-the-dark-knight-combines-every-batman-story/1100-6539776/) of the Dark Knight's lasting impact on pop culture, referencing everything from the classic movies to enduring memes from actor Michael Caine(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lego-batman-legacy-of-the-dark-knight-includes-goofy-michael-caine-tweet-reference/1100-6539828/). Ahead of its release later this month, a new trailer for the game has gone live and has done what few pieces of Batman media have been brave enough to do--acknowledge the existence of the 1995 film Batman Forever and one of its official tie-in songs, Seal's Kiss from a Rose. Set against the backdrop of the song--that won Seal the 1996 Song of the Year at the Grammys--the trailer shows off more of Bruce Wayne's journey and how he transforms into Gotham's legendary vigilante, Batman. The video also features several more characters, including Batman's allies Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul as they take on foes like The Joker, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Ra’s al Ghul, and Bane--and yes, that is Matt Berry voicing the infamous Venom-abusing supervillain. Kiss from a Rose was one of several licensed tracks heard in Batman Forever, alongside other selections from the likes of U2, Massive Attack, and The Offspring. Those songs and more appeared on the Batman Forever: Music from the Motion Picture soundtrack CD, a collection of tracks more '90s than owning a Tamagotchi. As for Batman Forever, the movie did receive mixed reviews during its run at cinemas, but its combination of a new Batman under the cape and cowl--played by the late Val Kilmer--the introduction of Robin, and Jim Carrey hamming it up as the Riddler saw it make a handsome profit at the box office.

!Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 Sequel Announced Summer 2026 PS5 Xbox Series X/S PlayStation 5 PC Steam Epic Games Store Co-Op(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/07/6a9f029c/aliensfireteamelite2.jpg.webp) Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, a sequel to 2021's PvE shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite(https://gameinformer.com/product/aliens-fireteam-elite), has been announced, and it's launching this summer on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Developers Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company revealed the news with an exclusive trailer over at IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/aliens-fireteam-elite-2-announced-pc-ps5-xbox), which reveals returning Xenomorphs, weapons, and more, with one big new addition: a fourth party member. Unlike its predecessor, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is not a trio-based third-person shooter but instead, a four-player party shooter. The game will support crossplay across all playable platforms and feature new Xenomorph types, player classes (including the Specialist, which IGN describes as a "fully customizable class that lets you mix and match abilities from any class"), and more. The publication writes that Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will include a Horde mode, too. Check out the Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 trailer for yourself below: Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) sometime this summer.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformAliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Revealed, And You Can Almost Hear The Motion Tracker Already
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 has officially been revealed by developers Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company, marking a return to a galaxy infested with perfect organisms. A direct sequel to the 2021 game, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is aiming for a Summer 2026 release, and it's headed to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S--possibly out of the walls. While the core third-person PvE shooter gameplay has been retained for the sequel, one of the big changes is that your fireteam of Colonial Marines is expanding from three to four players. According to IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/aliens-fireteam-elite-2-announced-pc-ps5-xbox), the game will feature full cross-play support, new Xenomorph types, and improvements to the player classes. Players can also fine-tune a Specialist class by mixing abilities to create a versatile Marine, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will launch with a dedicated Horde mode. The first Aliens: Fireteam Elite game received mostly positive reviews when it first launched, with critics praising it for its gung-ho action, well-polished multiplayer design, and the Challenge Card system that kept the experience consistently fresh and rewarding. Post-launch DLC would further expand on the game, adding new story beats and gameplay features that amplified the intensity of the experience.

🎮 Multi-platformThese new Spectrum And Commodore64 Gaming Handhelds Come Preloaded With Games
Two unique bits of hardware from the '80s are making a comeback, as the Commodore 64(https://www.hypermegatech.com/home-computer-handhelds/) and Spectrum(https://www.hypermegatech.com/home-computer-handhelds/) are being remade as handhelds. Expected to launch later this year, the two handhelds come preloaded with 25 games and feature design elements inspired by their predecessors. There's also a microSD card slot, allowing you to load your own games onto the device. Preorders are now open, with both expected to begin shipping on October 15. The Spectrum Handheld $130 | Releases October 15 !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scalesuper/1702/17023653/4691673-spectrum-image-1.png)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1702/17023653/4691673-spectrum-image-1.png) With a simple black design, four remappable function buttons, a headphone jack, stereo speakers, and a 4.3-inch IPS display, this handheld offers everything you need to relive the classics.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformNext-Gen Xbox Project Helix Won't Get Much New Info In Today's Event, Exec Says
Xbox's Jason Ronald, who leads the team working on the Projext Helix(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/next-xbox-release-date-specs-display-price/1100-6525379/) next-generation PC/console hybrid device, has confirmed that more details about the machine will be revealed this year. He didn't say when exactly, but one possibility is the Xbox Games Showcase in June(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/every-video-game-showcase-to-watch-in-2026/2900-7446/). He confirmed this(https://x.com/jronald/status/2052403448398909450) in response to people wondering if the Project Helix developer-focused event today, May 7, would include more news about the device. As Microsoft said when the event was announced on April 30(https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/articles/2026/04/announcing-the-xbox-game-dev-update-spring-2026/), it will be a recap of the announcements from GDC and is focused on presenting this information to developers. Ronald is trying to manage expectations here by telling fans this is not a news event aimed at consumers. In any event, if you want to watch, you can, as the Xbox Game Dev Update will be published on YouTube(https://www.youtube.com/@MicrosoftGameDev/featured) at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. Ronald and Xbox general manager Chris Carla will walk through the Project Helix announcements from GDC in March and discuss "what it represents for the future of Xbox."

🎮 Multi-platformThis Beat-'Em-Up Wants You To Fight Like Batman And Move Like A Rock Star
Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham games set a new standard for beat-'em-ups, mixing tight combat with a rhythmic flow that made you feel unstoppable once you got into it. Dead as Disco feels like a spiritual successor, focusing on that same rhythm-driven action. It adds its own twist with dance-floor brawls and a playlist of moves you can use on anyone who dares to step up. Out now in early access, Dead as Disco wastes no time in laying the groundwork for why you're reducing the local hoodlum scene to single-digit numbers. You're the rock star Charlie Disco, out for revenge after your former bandmates left you for dead, and hellbent on exacting some stylish retribution while you dodge and weave to the beat of your own personal mixtape. It's a plot that's more barebones than the lyrics to a Black Eyed Peas song, and it absolutely rocks because it doesn't detract from the stylish and substantive action of Dead as Disco. It's that sense of choreographed action that makes the game stand out, as you chase high scores and betrayers with fists of fury and a song in your heart. Dead as Disco is all about the Rule of Cool, and in the handful of levels currently available, that law is an ironclad application of melodic melee attacks as you match blows to the beat of the music. Nail the rhythm with fists, counters, and takedowns, and you'll rack up points as you dynamically bloody your knuckles for a showdown with a boss.

🎮 Multi-platformLegacy of the Dark Knight's Launch Trailer Is Set To Kiss From A Rose
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/07/60030318/LEGO%20Batman%20Legacy%20of%20the%20Dark%20Knight%20Official%20Launch%20Trailer%20Thumbnail.png.webp) We're excited for Lego Batman's return in Legacy of the Dark Knight, especially following our hands-on preview that went up earlier this week(https://www.gameinformer.com/preview/2026/05/05/dark-knight-bright-future), and luckily, we won't have to wait much longer for it to emerge from the shadows. Today, publisher WB Games uploaded the game's final launch trailer, which shows a wide overview of what players can expect from the game. It's also set to "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal, a song that was included in the Batman Forever soundtrack back in 1995. You can check it out for yourself below. In addition to showcasing all the eras of Batman and his villains, the part of this trailer that stands out most to me is a showdown between Mr. Freeze and the duo of Nightwing and Batgirl. It's most likely a reference to Batman & Robin, since Dick Grayson and Batgirl team up in that movie, but it's interesting that, in the context of this game, it takes place after Dick has left home to create his new hero persona. I'm a big Nightwing fan, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Legacy of the Dark Knight approaches his character. Legacy of the Dark Knight will come out on May 22, but if you pre-order the Deluxe Edition, you can play three days earlier, on May 19. The game will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and will come to the Switch 2 at a later date.
