At the Six Invitational over the weekend, Rainbow Six Siege developer Ubisoft talked a great deal about its plans for the game’s current year - Year 5 - and a little bit about Year 6. Year 5, as previously revealed, will bring six new operators to the game, down from eight as in previous years. The first two, coming in Season 1, were revealed on the same stream. Ubisoft justified this by saying that having fewer operators allows the development team to focus on gameplay improvements, such as reworking existing operators....

We’ve split the game up into planets, so if you’re unsure how to find a certain gold bolt, click on the planet you’re stuck on and then navigate to the bolt you haven’t found yet....

QuakeCon, unsurprisingly, is generally all things Quake, but other Bethesda titles do now make an apperance, and everything is set to get started August 18 at 6pm BST, just under two weeks away. And it looks like shortly after the welcome segment that kicks things off, starting from 6:15pm BST, there will be a 30 minute slot that dives in on the not-so-idyllic Redfall (thanks, Eurogamer). “The team at Arkane Austin takes you inside their upcoming squad-based vampire shooter with new insights, gameplay details and more!...

This Sackboy: A Big Aventure video gives you a bit of a background on the story, and shows off all sorts of platforming fun. Released today by Sumo Digital and Sony, you get an idea of some of the obstacles Sackboy will face, along with a look at four-player co-op. Sackboy: A Big Adventure is coming to PS4 and PS5 on November 12.

For a gameplay overview trailer, there isn’t much in the way of actual in-game gameplay, but it did dive into the various factions you’ll meet in the game. First up is Los Panteros, who’s run by certified beefcake Sergio. They’re all about smuggling, and “have no hesitations about getting up on your business,” making them one to watch out for. Then there’s the more tech oriented, club culture donned Idols, who don’t have any particular leader, only a faceless group known as The Collective, but do have a penchant for masks that Daft Punk would potentially approve of....

That’s right, Persona 5 Strikers is already $20 off at Best Buy. This title was released less than two months ago, so seeing both versions of the game for just $40 is pretty cool! As for how the game itself is, many people have enjoyed it, despite its more Dynasty Warriors gameplay style. Not that you have to take my word for it–VG247 rounded up the Persona 5 Strikers reviews up, after all!...

Scorn is an H.R. Giger-inspired FPS where you adventure through organic structures and try to avoid horrible alien willies, or something. Here’s the trailer, captured on Xbox Series X - because it’s exclusive to Xbox Series X. “Scorn is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure currently in development by Ebb Software,” reads the trailer description. It’s coming to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service at launch.

Based off that alone, you know that you’re certainly in for something equal parts strange and beautiful, but Scorn has a very intrinsic way of scaring you senseless, too. That said, getting around the alien world of Scorn and solving its many obtuse puzzles can take some sweet time when you don’t know the ins-and-outs of alien technology. For those who need a push in the right direction, this walkthrough will help you through Act 1, and show you how to beat the first Scorn puzzle....

Back in May, Sega announced that it is working on a new Sonic the Hedgehog game for release in 2022. There are no details – at all – about what this new title is going to be, and so far the only teaser we’ve got for the game features Sonic running… and nothing else other than an unexplained symbol flashing up during the trailer. In an interview with 4Gamer, (via Nintendo Enthusiast), Sonic Team lead Takashi Iizuka says the company wanted to get something out in public about the game, but admits the offering was scant....

Noshir Dalal, the actor mostly known for playing Charles in Red Dead Redemption 2, and Sekiro in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, has shared his feelings on the fact his characters often feature in fan fiction. Gay shipping, as it is referred to, is imagining two fictional characters to be in a homosexual relationship. Usually, these characters aren’t presented as gay in the context of the work they originally appear in....

But what does the game’s creator and director think of the 2005 classic now that it’s being dragged kicking and screaming back into relevance and the cold light of day? When asked for comment on the persisting Resident Evil 4 Remake rumors that have been doing the rounds over the last year or so, Mikami told VG247 that “fans will most likely want it, and so that’s a good thing....

Slated to release on November 8, the Luna, PC, PS5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X/S game will now arrive on March 9, 2023. The reason for the latest delay, according to Ubisoft, is the team needs extra time for polishing and balancing to give players the “best possible experience.” If you are a bit bummed and don’t wish to wait that long to play it, Ubisoft said an open beta is coming in the near future....

There’s The Last of Us Part 2 demake, a performance capture kit, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, a cool Star Wars X-Wing game, and loads more. The latest cool creation is this, a new LittleBigPlanet game created entirely in Dreams. LittleBigPlanet, if you don’t already know, is another game from Dreams development studio Media Molecule. It spawned Sony’s “play, create, share” mantra, allowing players to go wild with a suite of creative tools....

The game – which was apparently inspired by the superhero films of the early 00s uch as Batman Begins, for some reason – was a failed reboot for the mascot. Hamstrung by appalling loading times, terrible camera system, a stupid story, nasty voice acting, myriad glitches, and baffling controls, the game has become infamous for just how bad it was. Sonic 06 was one of a couple of Sonic games delisted from digital stores over 10 years ago, in a vague attempt to rescue the icon’s reputation....

A series based on Disco Elysium is to be developed via a partnership between the game’s developer, ZA/UM, and production company dj2 Entertainment which produced the Sonic the Hedgehog film.

The game is rather popular and won three BAFTAs for Debut Game, Music, and Narrative....
