Possibly from People Can Fly Which games does Square Enix have lined up for E3 2019 besidesFinal Fantasy VII RemakeandMarvel’s Avengers? Here’s another name:Outriders. Expect to see that pop up during the company’s live-streamed E3 presentation on Monday, June 10 at 6:00pm Pacific. The teasing has begun. Details are slim–today’s “Awaken” footage only shows a woman waking up in a cryopod before fading to reveal a compass-esque logo–but I’m confident that whatever this sci-fi game is, it can’t possibly go over worse thanThe Quiet Man....

The content adds sixty levels and challenges to the core game, as well as a newPegglemaster, three new Achievements and a Trophy room (whateverthatis).

PIGFACEis now just a couple months away from launching in early access on Steam, but the June 2025 Steam Next Fest demo for the game is now live and ready for you to get your hands dirty with in all of its grimy and violent glory....

Long live Melee? The rise of theSuper Smash Bros. Meleetournament scene has been almost impossible to ignore, even to casual players of the series. Even as of this year (year three of Luigi, mind you),Smashplayers travel all across the world with their worn-down GameCube controllers and bigass CRTs just for the love of a fourteen-year-old Nintendo game. This dedication eventually transformed into Project M, a community-driven modification that brings the speed and fluidity ofMeleeto theBrawlengine, as well as new characters and costumes....

Also, exclusive liner notes If you search Destructoid forMega Ran, you’ll see that he’s got a lot of love from us over the years. The self-proclaimed chip-hop teacher/rapper/hero is at it again with a new documentary titledMega-Lo-Maniathat chronicles his past appearance at PAX along with a recent three-city tour through the Southwest. For this tour, Ran teamed up with the soul/funk band, The Lo Classics, and performed new versions of many of his most popular tracks, including “Splash Woman” fromMega Man 9, as featured above....

Streams, tourneys, charity drives and more! As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced the cancellation of a huge string of industry events this year, publishers are finding ways to continue their annual traditions via online experiences. Case in point: Bethesda Softworks, who has announced that its annual event QuakeCon will, for the first time ever, be a digital-only affair. QuakeCon at Home 2020will take place from Friday, August 7 until Sunday, August 9 and will host a weekend of fun events and activities all over the world....

While many people were in awe that Nintendo’s 3DS could actually produce 3D images without the use of glasses, gamers had something else to be excited about — the games. Nintendo pulled its third-party line-up out of its pocket at its E3 press conference last week, including a number of titles and franchises from the heaviest hitters in the industry. Among them was a newResident Eviltitle, called (perhaps tentatively)Resident Evil Revelations....

Remember when Capcom got us all excited forMega Man‘s anniversary this year, and then basicallytook a dump on us withRockman Xover? Well apparently after reaching the top three listing on iTunes the week of release,The Mega Man Network has uncoveredthat it has at least 100,000 users, as free gifts are being given out for reaching the mark. Given Capcom’s lofty expectations, I have no idea if this number is sufficient to make up the R&D and development costs of the game, but if itis, wemayhave moreXovergames to “look forward to....

Persona 4 Golden discounted for the 3000th time It’s Golden Week (an economic holiday) over in Japan, and seeing as it’s a Japanese company, Sony typically partakes in the festivities. This year isn’t any different as it’s holdinga Golden Week sale. As alwaysPersona 4 Goldenis dirt cheap ($9 with PS+), so if you have a Vita and somehow don’t have it already, go get it. There’s also some other major deals in terms of newer releases likeFinal Fantasy XV($36 with Plus), andNieR: Automata($42 with Plus)....

I’ve had this trailer for the Xbox Live Arcade version ofSpelunkyplaying on repeat in an otherwise unused tab, becau–do I even need to explain why? That music! It’s so upbeat and inspiring; a wonderful combination for the horrible death and destruction happening in-game. Do give this video a watch, though.Spelunkyappears to beas amazing as ever, even if we are still stuck with a vague 2011 release date. Make sacrifices to whoever it is that you sacrifice to so we get this one sooner rather than later....

Steam is by and large one of the most reliable PC gaming clients, but that’s not to say it doesn’t occasionally go haywire. Say, for example, you were trying to playKingdom Come: Deliverance 2on its release day, only to get the “Game Not Released” error. What now? There’s nothing quite like jumping straight into action on day one of ahuge, critically acclaimed RPG such asKingdom Come: Deliverance 2, for one. If you were unlucky enough to log into SteamafterKC: D2was supposed to have already released only for Steam to lie straight to your face that it wasn’t out, then you’re in a pickle much as I was....

Jungle Inferno looks like a riot 10 years in andTeam Fortress 2is stillgoing strong. Valve has begun detailing a big update, Jungle Inferno, which adds a control point map called Mercenary Park, several community-made jungle maps, new taunts, and moreyet to be revealed. Also, there’s a yeti. Also also, there’s an animated short. I sometimes forget how much I adore these shorts. “IfJurassic Parktaught us one thing, it’s life finds a way,” says Valve....

Team Ninja will officially announce a new game tomorrow night at its annual pre-TGS press event. Last year, we got our first look atDead or Alive 5(which we will have a review of soon!). Here’s my translation of theTwitter postcontaining the message: One more Tokyo Game Show connection. At last year’s Tokyo Game Show, we showed offDead or Alive 5for the first time. So, at the same time this year … we will announce a new project for a system....
