Metro 2039 got a new trailer showing off fresh gameplay while providing a new, harrowing glimpse of its narrative and protagonist.

The fourth mainline entry in the Metro series was revealed back in April, and unfolds years after Metro: Exodus. We still don't know much about the overall plot other than that the protagonist, known as The Stranger, must survive the dangers of the irradiated surface as well as threats hiding in the underground metro tunnels. Like previous Metro titles, 2039 blends first-person shooting with survival mechanics and elements of horror. Check out the game's latest trailer below.

Metro 2039 is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in February, but it does not have an exact release date.

Exodus, The New Sci-Fi RPG From Former BioWare Devs, Finally Gets A Launch Date

Archetype Entertainment has just given players another glimpse of its upcoming third-person sci-fi RPG, Exodus(https://www.gamespot.com/games/exodus/), via a new trailer revealed during the Gamescom Opening Night Live(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gamescom-opening-night-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-games-and-trailers/) ceremony. Even better, the trailer ended with a release date announcement: Exodus is set to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on April 7. Exodus' new cinematic gameplay trailer introduces Salt, a companion character who joins the player's party as a skilled mercenary with expertise in long-range sniping. But Salt's most striking feature isn't her prowess in battle—it's the fact that she's a talking octopus who pilots an oversized mech suit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC35xzlYrDc Salt is an Awakened—a special type of animal that can communicate with humans—and can easily keep up with Exodus' player-character, Jun Aslan, in combat. In the new trailer, Jun and Salt join forces with Emrys (a member of a mysterious hivemind-like species called the Deva) to take on enemies. Emrys can be seen draining power from enemy combatants and transforming it into protection for Jun and Salt, while Salt can be seen deploying inky smokescreens that allow her to reposition herself easily. Together, the trio defeat their attackers, but face a greater enemy: Time. Exodus features Interstellar-style time dilation. A few years in space for Salt is equal to 87 years away from her home planet. In Exodus, players must make decisions that will affect humanity for generations to come. Exodus is available to wishlist now on the PlayStation Store(https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10013615), Xbox Store(https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/exodus/9nzrhch0pl9b), Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/3230960/EXODUS/), and the Epic Games Store(https://store.epicgames.com/p/exodus-67511f). Archetype Entertainment has implemented wishlist milestones for Exodus(https://www.exodusgame.com/en-US/news/new-wishlist-rewards-first-milestone-achieved), which has already surpassed its first goal of 500,000 wishlist additions, unlocking a Celestial Star Map Decoration for players' in-game apartment, a new batch of concept art, and the first available Exodus music track, "Elegy for a Forgotten World(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4-TnnQQmME)." Other upcoming milestone rewards include cosmetic skins, a Salt-focused story cinematic, and more tracks from the Exodus OST.

With the Nintendo copy of Dispatch, AdHoc has noted that it is the Switch 1 version of the game, and it includes the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack--as well as some censorship, but the studio did manage to apply some hilarious fixes(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dispatch-has-found-the-funniest-possible-way-to-fix-its-switch-censorship/) to meet Nintendo's standards.

One of last year's hit games(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/games-want-you-to-play-forever-but-dispatch-tells-you-when-to-stop/1100-6537045/)--despite it being snubbed(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/the-game-awards-2025s-biggest-snubs/2900-7272/) during the awards season--Dispatch is a narrative-heavy adventure that follows Robert Robertson III, formerly the superhero Mecha Man. With his mech suit trashed, Robertson takes up a post at the local branch of the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) as a dispatcher, overseeing a team of former supervillains. A critical and commercial hit, a sequel might already be in development(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dispatch-may-get-season-2-thanks-to-super-response-from-players/1100-6536110/).

A Day One Console Patch Will Make The Blood Of Dawnwalker Run At 60 FPS

!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/24/506a7a06/thebloodofdawnwalker-everythingyouneedtoknow0-40screenshot.jpg.webp) Rebel Wolves, developers of The Blood of Dawnwalker, put out a trailer last week(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K86Af9y312U&pp=ygUXdGhlIGJsb29kIG9mIGRhd253YWxrZXI%3D) showing off console gameplay of their upcoming action role-playing adventure, but the new footage ended up backfiring. The video revealed that PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game would not be able to run at 60 frames per second, instead targeting 40, which frustrated many, as 60 frames is considered the standard for action games like this. Today, developer Rebel Wolves issued a new announcement(https://x.com/DawnwalkerGame/status/2091812822082580778?s=20): The Blood of Dawnwalker will run at 60 fps after all, thanks to a day one patch coming to consoles. "Performance Mode was already in the works, but it was still being tested," a post on the official Dawnwalker social media pages reads. "We simply weren’t ready to promise it yet. We heard your feedback. It was clear how much this mattered to many of you, so we focused on finishing the next round of tests. Those results gave us the confidence we needed to confirm Performance Mode for Day 1." The developers go on to state that the patch will now allow the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game to target 60 fps in Performance Mode, 40 fps in Balanced Mode, and 30 FPS in Quality Mode. The PS5 Pro version of the game will include "overall visual enhancements," though Rebel Wolves doesn't elaborate exactly on what that means. Finally, the less-powerful Xbox Series S will be stuck at 30 FPS. Personally, I hope Rebel Wolves succeeds on this day one patch, though I do find it surprising that it expects to turn this around by September 3, the game's release date – it seems like a tall ask in a short window. Still, I (and most everyone else, I assume) would prefer to play The Blood of Dawnwalker at 60 FPS, so I'm looking forward to seeing the studio pull it off. Rebel Wolves was founded by developers who formerly worked at CD Projekt Red on beloved games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, so the hype around its upcoming project is substantial, even alongside the fall's other major releases.
