It's official! The next Borderlands game isn't Borderlands, but is instead a spin-off that goes full fantasy as Tiny Tina leads a gang of adventurers into battle against the evil Dragon Lord. In addition to Ashly Burch who returns to voice the maniacal explosives expert, Wonderlands also features the voices of Andy Samberg, Wanda Sykes, and Will Arnett for this latest round of Bunkers and Badasses.

Revealed at last night's Summer Game Fest kick-off show, developer FromSoftware has lifted the lid on the game after keeping dead quiet about it for the last two years. Not only did the new trailer show a healthy amount of in-engine footage, but also the biggest surprise of the night: A release date of January 21 for 2022.

Battlefield 2042 is the latest game in the 2021 schedule to cost a few dollars more on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as EA revealed the pricing on that title and its many special editions. Here's a breakdown on the US and local pricing.

Ninja Gaiden: The Master Collection is a fascinatingly violent time capsule that shows off the best and the worst of Koei Tecmo's fan favourite shinobi. It's as barebones a collection as can be, packing all three games together with a sprinkling of DLC, but it's still a fine showcase of brutal difficulty and white-knuckle thrill power that is inimitable by anything else on the market. Just don't expect anything more than that.

Boring narrative aside, Sniper Elite Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is superb at delivering its bread and ballistics gameplay. Focused purely on the art of the kill, CI Games has crafted numerous detailed sandboxes to become the ultimate long-distance predator inside of, resulting in a game that forges ahead and doubles down on its own unique brand of hold-your-breath gunplay. Pure cathartic and exhilarating action with every squeeze of the trigger.

Developers at Insomniac Games have begun talking about their experiences working on the game, with several employees highlighting regular 40-hour works and a managerial climate that encouraged people to avoid burnout while putting the new game together.

I think it's impossible to put down your controller once you finish Rift Apart for the first time, and not have a smile on your face. It's a game that's chicken soup for the soul, nourishing and positive content that's just incredibly wholesome to consume. Loud with its setpiece moments and surprisingly introspective with its emotional haymakers, all of its style and substance comes together to create not only a colourful, and wonderfully mad showcase for the PS5, but also the definitive Ratchet and Clank adventure for the next generation of gaming.

There's a new Rainbow Six game on the horizon, and this one might just be packing the most valuable resource of all within its digital frame: Big read-the-room energy.
