Hit paranormal puzzler Ghost Trick’s remaster finally arrives in June
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective has waited a long time for a revival, but Capcom have finally landed on a date for their remaster: June 30th. The game was previously leaked via an age rating last year, before an official confirmation in last month’s surprisingly PC-centric Nintendo Direct. Now, after a long wait, fans can look forward to bloody crimes and ghostly possessions this summer.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and a bunch of other Lego spin-offs – have cancelled several games featuring high-profile IP, according to a report from Nintendo Life.

Sons Of The Forest’s latest patch ends Kelvin’s treehouse-chopping antics
Sons Of The Forest has been a big success – so popular it may have crashed Steam – but players have had some quibbles about the survival sequel since its early access launch. Developer Endnight Games are looking to fix many of these problems, and add a bunch of new features, in the newest patch. Yesterday’s patch added a mid-game boss, a bucket of balance tweaks, multiple fixes for everyone’s absolute best friend Kelvin, plus much more. You can read the full list of changes in the developer’s Steam blog.
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse review: a frightfully frustrating flashback
Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse plunges players into the dreadful past of Rougetsu Island as three (Young women? Girls? I have no idea how old they are supposed to be and for some reason that’s not surprising.) survivors and a stalwart detective revisit the ruins of a hospital that was once home to a haunting ceremony. They all have amnesia, of course, because that’s a low-effort way to generate an air of mystery. Well, except the detective, who is just confused because he never really figured out what was going on in the first place.
Overall, it’s a thoroughly okay game from 2008 that’s been papered over with some hazy lofi graphics to justify selling it at full price in 2023. It’s up to you if you think that’s worth it – I bought the Mass Effect remaster, so I’m hardly one to judge – but while the graphics have been thoroughly airbrushed, that’s no cure for Fatal Frame’s dated gameplay and undead pacing.

The best thing about Lord Of The Rings: Gollum’s story trailer is still its wonderful headgear
The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum has been on a long road, which I suppose is fitting given the source material. It now has a story trailer, as of this evening’s Nacon Connect, but the third-person stealth ’em up once again impresses mostly in terms of its headgear.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League reportedly delayed until later in 2023
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was recently shown in some detail, in a presentation that made clear it was a floaty live service looter shooter with purchasable cosmetics. Then it was confirmed that the third-person supervillain adventure required an always online internet connection. The response to both these reveals was not great.
Now a report by Bloomberg cites an anonymous source who says Suicide Squad has been delayed until later in the year.
Epic Games Store launches self-publishing tools for devs, but will still reject porn, illegal and hateful content
closed beta testing, Epic’s self-publishing tools for developers are now available for all to use on the Epic Games Store. Previously, Epic had their own internal curation process for publishing to the store, but this changes from today, with developers now having much more control over getting their games onto the EGS. Well, almost.
