It’s official! The next big PS5 exclusive, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, will officially launch on June 11 this year.

It’s very annoying that it broke the game but at the same time the fact that a sixteen year old game is still getting updates should be celebrated.

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely of sources, but seeing a faint link between Capcom’s next Resident Evil game and cult classic spooky clan next door The Addams Family? Yeah, I can see that have an impact on the creation of Resident Evil Village’s breakout character, Lady Dimitrescu.

Not too shabby considering this is the debut game of developer Iron Gate. I’m sure they’re all celebrating with mead and ale as we speak.

More than a year after it launched, sitting down for a session of Borderlands 3 is still a guarantee that there’s a good time ahead. If you missed out on Gearbox’s ultimate loot n shoot experience, now is as good a time as any to grab a digital gun that fires heat-seeking orbs of radioactive death and head down to Pandora now that the game’s extended cut has a release date.

BlizzConOnline will be a free show that will be streamed from February 20-21, and will encompass everything that Blizzard is currently ready to talk about. There’ll be a number of main channels that you can tune into, each one dedicated to a franchise, and providing deep dives into what’s next for those games and a behind the scenes look at other aspects of their creation.

Super Mario 3D is a great game to play solo or with friends and shows off some of Nintendo’s best level design yet, while Bowser’s Fury is an inventive take on the Mario formula that’s more generous with its content than it ought to be. Both games make for a fantastic bundle and should be checked out by fans and non-fans alike.

What Steam China doesn’t have, is a chunky selection of games or social features that have earned a seal of approval from the notoriously heavy-handed Chinese government. With a laundry list of requirements longer than Spawn’s cape in the 1990s, getting a game officially approved in China is a Herculean effort that many developers simply cannot achieve.
