If you’re holding out hope for another Ori and the Blind Forest sequel after Will of the Wisps, bad news: it’s probably going to be a while. Developers Moon Studios have said they’re all-in on Soulslike action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, suggesting that their “magnum opus” will be their focus for up to a decade.
Krafton, the studio behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, has revealed a development roadmap and several key features for its upcoming life simulation game InZoi. Though the roadmap does not state when InZoi is scheduled to launch, it does offer a closer look at all the next-level features the The Sims competitor is bringing to the table.
Among the key features shared in the roadmap are cars, group activities, a Karma system, a City Edit mode, and the Studio. According to the video's accompanying press release, Zois--the name for the game's human-like characters--will be able to both drive and ride in cars, with both first- and third-person camera angles available. The video featured a look at some of the flashy vehicles Zois will be able to purchase, as well as what happens when a Zoi decides to run in front of one.
Moving on to something a bit more light-hearted, the developers offered a bit more insight into the game's group activities and relationship mechanics. Based on the video, it seems as if relationships will play out quite similarly to The Sims, with characters able to become friends, love interests, and enemies of other Zois. However, InZoi does implement a unique mechanic with its Karma system, in which a Zoi's past actions influence how their futures pans out and how other Zois treat them.

Jackbox Games revealed the next chapter of Jackbox during the 2024 ID@Xbox Showcase would also be the developer's first M-rated title: Jackbox Naughty Pack. The intimate pack of three games is due to be released this year and marks Jackbox's first foray into the world of mature gaming with three provocative games designed specifically for adult players.
According to Jackbox, an overwhelming number of fans have indicated in customer feedback surveys that they want an adult-theme Jackbox Party Pack, which is just what the team is doing with Jackbox Naughty Pack. The three adult-themed games will still deliver on the promise of making you laugh, while also adding a more risque style of entertainment than is present in the previous iterations of the Party Pack.
Previous Jackbox titles only require one person to own the game while others can access the party-style gameplay using their own at-home devices such as phones, tablets, laptops, and PCs as long as they have an internet connection. This makes me ponder two questions immediately: Who's going to create a Jackbox Naughty Pack lobby and invite their friends, and what sort of devices are compatible with this pack? Actually, I'm not sure I want to know.
Jackbox Naughty Pack is set to release later this year, and the team plans to reveal more information about its three adult-only titles throughout the summer.

When Tron: Ares was first announced, it was described as both a standalone sequel and the next chapter for the franchise. However, the film will apparently have a greater link to the past than previously expected. Jeff Bridges--the star of the original Tron from 1982 and its 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy--has confirmed that he will appear as Kevin Flynn opposite Jared Leto in Tron: Ares.
Via The Playlist, Bridges made the announcement while appearing on the Film Comment podcast. "I’m heading off this Saturday to play a part in the third installment of the Tron story," said Bridges. "I'm excited about that. It's wild. Jared Leto is the star of this third one, and I'm really anxious to work with him, and I've admired his work."
Leto is playing the film's title character, Ares. But so far, none of the other characters have been revealed. Cameron Monaghan, one of the co-stars of the film, recently praised the sequel's advancement in visual effects. That was also something that Bridges touched upon, although he noted that Tron: Ares will be leaning into more practical sets than virtual ones.

Some games you dip in and out of every few months, checking how it's going, and sometimes you come away confused, surprised, and excited every single time. Vampire Survivors is one of those games for me. I picked it up when you walked around a green field trying to hit bats and now it's almost unrecognizable, becoming a true gaming juggernaut that keeps upping the ante in terms of inventiveness.
