🎮 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.

!Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/06/1a610fb1/Godzilla%201.jpg.webp) Developer Pipeworks Studios and publisher Atari have revealed Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, and it's launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on November 3.

When it launches this November, the remaster will bring enhanced visuals, an improved unlock system, quality-of-life improvements, and more to the original experience. It will also include the addition of online multiplayer, allowing you to duke it out in Versus or Melee modes, both online and via local couch co-op. Check it out in the Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered reveal trailer below: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered will feature 12 monsters to unlock and choose from, including, of course, the big man himself, Godzilla, alongside King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla, Rodan, and plenty more. If you're interested in a physical edition of the game, Atari is publishing one for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. The game will be available on November 3 digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Did you play this back in the early 2000s? Let us know in the comments below!
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformStar Trek: Shadow Frontier Is A New Horror Game From Silent Hill 2 Remake Dev Bloober Team Coming Next Year
!Star Trek Shadow Frontier Horror Game Bloober Team Paramount Announcement Teaser(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/04/baa5b1c4/startrekshadowfrontier.jpg.webp) Bloober Team, the studio behind Silent Hill 2 Remake(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/silent-hill-2/engrossing-and-unsettling) and last year's Cronos: The New Dawn(https://www.gameinformer.com/review/cronos-the-new-dawn/solid-survival-horror), and Paramount Games Studio, which recently revealed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is being developed by Platinum Games(https://gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/2026/06/03/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-the-last-ronin-is-being-developed-by-platinum), have unveiled Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a psychological horror game launching next year. Revealed during IGN Live, Shadow Frontier puts players in control of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Ro Laren after she crash-lands on a mysterious planet to answer a distress call when it launches in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Michelle Forbes, who played the character in The Next Generation, returns to play the character in Shadow Frontier, and though she only appeared in just a handful of episodes across the series' seven seasons, she made an impact on Trekkies, making her reappearance in the first-ever Star Trek horror game an exciting one. "The planet Ro Laren lands on is a spaceship graveyard where nothing is as it seems," a press release reads. "As she explores the planet's corrupted surface and crosses paths with other survivors, she must face twisted creatures, a hostile ecosystem, and an entity that seeks to envelop her body and mind." Check it out in the Star Trek: Shadow Frontiers trailer below: Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno says many at the studio are lifelong Star Trek fans, and that the team looks forward to "combining that passion with what we do best, horror." "We've partnered with Paramount to create something truly unique: a new adventure set in a beloved universe, enriched with our own signature layer of dark, psychological thriller," Babieno writes in a press release. "We're genuinely excited about this journey, and our hope is to honor the legacy of Star Trek in a way that feels both respectful yet refreshingly different." Star Trek: Shadow Frontier doesn't have an exact release date, but Bloober Team and Paramount Games say it's due out next year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

🖥 Xbox, PC, Multi-platform33-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.
