Romeo Is A Dead Man doesn’t have a release date because of “that one game”, and you already know it’s GTA 6

It’s been quite a while since Grasshopper Manufacture put out a completely original game, almost a decade in fact, with 2016’s Let It Die. Since then there’s been a couple No More Heroes, but during a presentation held last night from some company I’ve never heard of, PlayStation I think it was, the developer revealed something wholly new: Romeo Is A Dead Man. This was easily my personal highlight because of how balls to the wall stupid it looks, but it was missing an important thing known as a release date that a lot of other games actually featured for once. And that’s almost definitely because Grasshopper is a bit worried about GTA 6.

Helldivers 2’s next gear drop includes Judge Dredd-style armour, just in case you want to be THE LAW

Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have revealed the new gear that’ll be arriving in the game with its next warbond on June 12, and there’s an armour set that seems inspired by another franchise high on authoritarian satire, Judge Dredd.

Honestly, I’m surprised it’s taken that long for one of the warbonds – which as plenty of people have pointed out often amount to giving players a way to look even more fascisty than you do by default in Helldivers 2 – to dip into something Dredd-ish.

Oblivion Remastered has two updates coming, and one will save us from sudden glitchy vampire baldness

Oblivion’s a notoriously buggy game, so it probably shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise that Oblivion Remastered was also pretty damn buggy. While a lot of those bugs are the kind of charming nonsense TES 4 is beloved for, Bethesda and Virtuos have now confirmed that the remaster’s got two updates incoming to fix its more serious problems.

Having scrolled through the patch notes for the first of these updates, which releases in Steam beta today, there’s one fix that’s stood out, because the thing it outlines has been haunting my dreams.

Silent Hill f gets a release date, plus a creepy new trailer with more limb cracking noises than a chiropractor convention

Silent Hill f got a concrete release date at last night’s State of Play. You’ll be able to play it on PC on September 25 this year, which is also when it arrives on consoles.

As for what you’re in for, a fresh trailer made pretty clear that protagonist Hinako Shimizu is going to have a bad time of things, with freaky flower monsters and creepy scarecrow-inspired doll things with the mangled posture of your average veteran office worker all seeking to hurt her as she runs around cracking skulls with a pipe.

Baby Steps walks gingerly toward an autumn release date

Everyone, stretch your hamstrings. Leg-having simulator Baby Steps got a release date during last night’s PlayStation State of Play. As shown in the trailer below, the game is not so much a “walking sim” as a “walking badly sim”. But hey, that’s what you get from the makers of Getting Over It and Ape Out. It was also revealed that the “hero” of the game is in dire need of the bathroom.

Tides Of Tomorrow, the aquatic adventure where you deal with your friends’ cock-ups, gets a release date

If you missed its appearance last year, Tides Of Tomorrow is a choice-driven adventure game set in a brighter version of Waterworld, and is being made by the team behind road trip adventure Road 96. Last night it was shown off again during the PlayStation State of Play, and this time the studio has stuck their post-apocalyptic harpoons into a release date.

Gwent co-creator and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners showrunner’s new deckbuilder has an excellent tortoise

I haven’t yet decided whether the loot tortoise in roguelike deckbuilder Dice Legends looks satisfied or exhausted. Both make sense to me. “He’s grown used to this, but still isn’t thrilled about it,” offered my sister. I would not be thrilled either. Imagine being aware of Pratchett’s world turtle and knowing you’re a glorified ATM by comparison.

“A roguelike deckbuilder, Nic?”, you exclaim with mock interest. “Well, kick me down a well and break out the Vimto we’ve had mouldering in the cellar since the nineties, the last decade in which anyone consumed or thought about Vimto. Haven’t had one of those since the time I went to collect the post forty five seconds ago. Also, the post was two flyers, each advertising a roguelike deckbuilder”. I will not argue with your sage industry analysis, friend, although this one does have a couple of notables that may make the Steam demo an intriguing prospect.

Pragmata still exists and Capcom say the sci-fi action game is coming in 2026 for real this time

Sci-fi action game Pragmata will be coming out 2026, say developers Capcom during this evening’s PlayStation showcase. The trailer seemingly contains a stark warning for those using generative AI: keep doing so and eventually you’ll have to befriend a creepy cyborg little girl in order to fight back against a horde of futurebots that want to murder you for some reason. Think about it, next time you’re using ChatGPT to do your homework.

You’ll find the new trailer below.

Dead Finger Dice: A Billionaire Killing Game is about beating demon elites at finger-severing poker on a mega yacht

A game that sees you forcibly kidnapped, smuggled aboard a mega yacht dubbed The Avarice, and made to play demon billionaires at lethal dice poker just got a new trailer, and it looks as funky as you’d expect. Dead Finger Dice: A Billionaire Killing Game is its uber-snappy name, and it’s coming to Steam this summer.

Psychroma and Raptor Boyfriend developers Rocket Adrift Games released a trailer for this roguelike dice builder as part of yesterday’s The Mix showcase, and as soon as I clapped my eyes on it, I was intrigued.
