Trover Saves the Universe, from a co-creator on Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty, is a weird-as-hell platform adventure coming to PlayStation 4 and Playstation VR. Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the game this evening during its E3 2018 keynote. In the middle of an unusually eclectic E3 show, Sony teased the game with a one-minute trailer highlighted by a nonchalant main character (presumably Trover?) But that’s what’s on the table when you’re dealing with a game from Rick and Morty’s co-cre

Bloodborne and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware is making a virtual reality game for PlayStation VR called Déraciné. It’s coming to PlayStation 4 later this year. Déraciné puts players in the role of a “spirit summoned by a young girl in a secluded boarding school.” In Déraciné “the player must prove its existence and build a unique bond with the students through clever interactions. You’re going to be a fairy and live in the world where time stands still, when nobody can see what you’re up to

Sony’s E3 2018 PlayStation conference was full of fan favorites. For more on Sony’s E3 2018 announcements, check our storystream.

A fantastic 4K trailer and look at Death Stranding gameplay.

Death Stranding returned for Sony’s E3 2018 press conference with another grand, bizarre, wild look. Although Hideo Kojima of Kojima Productions wasn’t on hand to introduce it, he brought something just as good: gameplay. Collaborating with Kojima on Death Stranding, which is due on PlayStation 4 sometime in the future, are several other big names. Last time we saw Death Stranding was at The Game Awards 2017 last December. Meanwhile, the first time Death Stranding appeared was at Sony’s E3 2016

A new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 premiered during Sony’s E3 2018 press conference, introducing us to a new world … of sorts.

There will also be a special edition Kingdom Hearts PlayStation 4 Pro released alongside the game when it launches Jan. 29, 2019. The console will not only feature a unique detailing, but it will also include the entire Kingdom Hearts series collection. Update: The Kingdo

The PC Gaming Show is returning to Los Angeles for its fourth annual event, and the E3 2018 edition of PC Gamer’s press briefing will once again be hosted by Sean “Day9” Plott. Plenty of developers and publishers of computer games will be presenting trailers and announcements during the show, including 505 Games, Crytek, Double Fine Productions, Klei Entertainment, Sega, Square Enix and Tripwire Interactive.

Automaton Games debuted a trailer for another title in the popular battle royale genre: Mavericks: Proving Grounds. Fortnite and PUBG offer a battlefield with 100 players; Mavericks ups the ante by putting players in a match with 1000 total players. Mavericks is defined by its ambition beyond familiar battle royale tropes. Those used to battle royale titles will find a lot of familiar touchstones in the Mavericks trailer. Finally, the game seeks to distinguish itself from other battle royale tit

Todd Howard didn’t reveal much of The Elder Scrolls 6 at Bethesda’s E3 press conference, but what he showed may be just enough to give us a hint about the game’s location. The long-awaited next installment of Elder Scrolls, a series that’s become basically synonymous with Skyrim, will probably take place in High Rock. Bethesda has yet to give us a release date for The Elder Scrolls 6, or even a subtitle for it. But with seven years between the release of Skyrim and this announcement, anticipatio

Fallout 76 is the first online game in the Fallout universe, but players who were attracted to the series due to the intense, well-told stories may be worried about what that means for their ability to enjoy the game. Will people still be able to explore the world at their own pace without worrying about other players hunting them down? We don’t have all the details about how the social systems in Fallout 76 will work, but Bethesda’s Todd Howard has confirmed that you’ll be able to set up your o

Valve Corp. and Perfect World Co. are collaborating to launch Steam China later this year. Valve and Perfect World have been partners since 2012, when Perfect World acquired the licenses to launch Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, two titles tremendously important to the worldwide esports scene, in that country. Perfect World otherwise specializes in massively-multiplayer online games. A news release said that Valve and Perfect World “will collaborate closely to actively promote Steam

Since 2010 we’ve paid community almost $3 million https://t.co/oauU4IUiyE — Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe) June 11, 2018HitRecord lives and dies on edits and remixes. Think writers contributing poems to collections, musicians working on CDs or, in Ubisoft’s case, artists’ work used as promotional material for a major AAA video game. Now, as Gordon-Levitt and HitRecord team up with one of their biggest clients, more questions about what exactly HitRecord does are being asked. This isn’t a H

In the Hitman series, you get to embody the world’s most intimidating assassin. Agent 47 is cold, ruthless, and efficient. My favorite part of Hitman is how ridiculous you can make this terrifying murder machine. The mission itself is fun, with a variety of different outcomes and ways to get your targets where you want them. Agent 47 was born to wedding crash.

Boss Key Games’ shooter LawBreakers is now free-to-play on Steam (as spotted by Wario64), but the game is set to be shut down in September. Last month, Boss Games’ head Cliff Bleszinski closed the development studio, following the commercial failure of the game. Our servers will remain open until then and the game will be made free-to-play on Steam for all players effective immediately. Please note that any and all new in-game purchases will also be disabled and we will not be able to accept any

Ubisoft showed up at E3 2018 with some new games in some long-running franchises, from Assassin’s Creed to Trials. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey — it’s officialThe next Assassin’s Creed has been leakier than an ancient Greek ship — just work with me here, please — and today Ubisoft made it official: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will send the franchise to Greece, 431 BC. And since Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s ancient Greece is just filled with islands to explore and people to kill, naval combat is back. Tri

Blindside Interactive (Killing Floor) revealed a trailer for Maneater during the PC Gaming Show at E3 2018 today. Players can control a giant shark that wreaks havoc underwater, on the coast, on docks — just about everywhere. An official description of Maneater reads:Maneater is a Single-Player Action RPG, set in the unforgiving waters of the Gulf Coast. The trailer opens with peaceful scenes starring people on vacation, fishing and enjoying the sunset — but that shark is having none of it. Mane

Sega is bringing three more Japanese games to Windows PC: Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and Valkyria Chronicles 4. Yakuza 0, a prequel to the Yakuza series, debuted in Japan on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in March 2015. While Sega has since brought both Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami stateside on PS4, this will be the first time that any entry in the long-running open-world franchise has been released on PC. While that game is listed as “coming soon,” the PC version of Yakuza 0 is scheduled to be rele

Sable, an upcoming game that premiered at E3 2018’s PC Gaming Show, looks stunning. The adventure game sounds like a comic book, too: Players assume the role of a young wanderer named Sable, who finds themselves on a foreign planet. There will be other people for Sable to encounter and befriend as well, making the single-player game a little less lonely. When it does launch, it will hit Mac and Windows PC. For indie studio Shedworks’ debut project, however, Sable already looks like one to watch

One of the most surprising aspects of E3 2018 is how openly companies are talking about the next generation of consoles, even if they’re years away from being released. “Our hardware team, the same team that delivered unprecedented performance with Xbox One X, is deep into architecting the next Xbox consoles, where we will once again deliver on our commitment to deliver the benchmark of console gaming,” he said. But Microsoft sounds like it’s shifting away from the traditional definition of what

Ubisoft always has an interesting mix of games during its E3 press conferences, although its presentations also tend to lean toward the awkward and weird. Let’s take a look at what it did right, and why it thought that marching band was a good idea. This was a very cool surprise, and I wonder what else Ubisoft and Nintendo are cooking up together. There wasn’t anything like that here, but the rest of the games looked good enough that it’s hard to get upset. Ubisoft is having a very good E3 so fa

Thankfully, the PC Gaming Show is back for its fourth year at E3 to highlight some of games that may not have a big place at the other press conferences thanks to their focus on the console experience. Along with these more PC-focused games, the conference also tends to play host to a few niche announcements for big games like last year’s PC features reveal for Destiny 2 or the cinematic trailer for Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
