RuneScape: Dragonwilds, The Open World Survival Game, Will Launch On PS5 As A PlayStation Plus Game Later This Year

Game Informer

Jagex has revealed that RuneScape: Dragonwilds, its open-world survival game that launched into Early Access on Steam last year, is coming to PlayStation 5 later this year. It has a $29.99 price tag on Steam today, but PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can download it for no additional cost when it launches. 

Notably, this is the first time in 25 years of RuneScape history that a game in the series has come to consoles, and while it’s not the OG RuneScape MMORPG that many grew up on and still play today, the one million copies it’s sold in Steam Early Access indicate it’s a hit amongst the RuneScape community. Jagex announced this news today during the PlayStation State of Play with a brand new trailer highlighting some of the fantasy fun you can expect. 

Game Informer

In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, dragons have awoken on the forgotten continent of Ashfall, setting up the mission that you and up to three others must slay the Dragon Queen. You’ll uncover ancient civilizations, come to understand transformative magic, and, of course, build the medieval home of your dreams. Along the way, Jagex says you can expect to battle legendary RuneScape creatures like Zogres, Black Knights, and even new foes like the Garou, all while listening to reorchestrated classic tracks and new ones too. 

“Bringing Dragonwilds and its mix of crafting, survival, and quintessential RuneScape-ness to new platforms like PlayStation 5 is key to unleashing its magic to more players around the gaming globe,” RuneScape: Dragonwilds executive producer Jesse America writes in a press release. “We’re incredibly proud to have RuneScape: Dragonwilds launch on PlayStation Plus later this year. This means even more gamers can effortlessly team up and explore Ashenfall, go questing across its dangerous regions, skill up more and more abilities, and ultimately survive its thrall.”

Here are some new RuneScape: Dragonwilds screenshots: 

 

A release date was not given, but RuneScape: Dragonwilds is set to launch sometime later this year. It’s already available on PC via Steam Early Access.

Stuntman: Hollywood Brings The Big Name Cars

Game Informer

Saber Interactive is bringing back the Stuntman series, and injecting some fun familiarity through the inclusion of vehicles drawn from the history of cars in film and TV. The debut trailer for the project gives us a look at some death-defying car jumps, lightning fast street races, and hairpin turns in a variety of situations. However, the most eye-catching feature of the new game is the inclusion of familiar cars like KITT from Knight Rider, and the Delorean from Back to the Future

Saber stops short of sharing many additional details, and the “Coming Soon” banner at the end of the trailer leaves the question open regarding how long we might have to wait, but we know that the game is coming to PlayStation 5, at the very least. Check out the full trailer below. 

Silent Hill: Townfall Arrives In September

Game Informer

Silent Hill: Townfall got a new trailer during the 2026 Summer PlayStation State of Play presentation that primarily focused on gameplay, but did offer some story table setting.

The game is still considered a Silent Hill spin-off, though every new look at it makes it seem more and more like a mainline entry. The new trailer shows the protagonist looking for a character named Zoe Ellis and solving, potentially more intricate puzzles than the typical Silent Hill game (but they might feel on par when we get our hands on the game – we’ll see).

Some other interesting details include logging onto computers (something I don’t think we’ve ever done in Silent Hill), and distracting monster with thrown objects in first-person gameplay. Townfall also has a stark red color tone, which feels a little different than typical Silent Hill… but I like it.

And finally, the trailer also revealed a date for the game: September 24.

Kemuri, A Stylish Yokai-Hunting Action Game From Ikumi Nakamura, Is Out Next Year

Game Informer

In late 2023, Ikumi Nakamura unveiled Kemuri, the first game from her new studio, Unseen, at The Game Awards. Ironically, she and that game have been unseen ever since, but during today’s State of Play, Kemuri made its grand reemergence from the shadows with a flashy new gameplay trailer and a 2027 release window. You can check the game out for yourself below.

In Kemuri, you hunt Yokai, colorful spirits and monsters only visible to certain people by using a technique called the Fox Window. The trailer shows off some fast-paced, visually stunning combat, which players can perform by possessing Yokai and using their powers. Gameplay clips also seem to show players using these abilities to traverse the game’s city, whether that’s diving through the air with feathers on their arms or swinging from a frog’s tongue. Hunters can be one of three classes (katana hunter, bow hunter, or shaman), so it’s fitting that the game also includes up to three-player online co-op. 

Nakamura previously made a name for herself as an artist at Tango Gameworks before becoming the creative director for Ghostwire: Tokyo, though she left that role before the game shipped. This new project at Unseen is her first project as a proper director, and so far, it looks great.

Nakamura appeared after the trailer to clarify that Kemuri is still in development, and a graphic following that statement gave the game a 2027 release window. As much as I’m into this game’s Yokai, here’s hoping we get a more tangible release date sometime soon.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Locks On For October

Game Informer

The next Ace Combat is cleared for take-off. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve will set off from the flight deck on October 2, and there’s a bonus for those who lock in early. 

Set in the Strangereal universe, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve looks send ace pilots into a new theater of aerial combat, with the hope of their homeland on their shoulders. Given the call sign of the “Wings of Theve,” you’ll battle to reclaim Usean land from onboard the aircraft carrier Endurance.

Those who lock in an early pre-order can also get Ace Combat 0: The Belkan War, part of the incredible PlayStation 2-era run of Ace Combat games, soon to be playable on PlayStation 5. It’s a nice bonus for long-time fans of the flying-action series.

We’re likely to learn more about this new installment in the coming months leading up to release, but it certainly looks like this new Ace Combat has some high-octane aerial action in store.

Magneto, Green Goblin, And Carnage Join Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls

Game Informer

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls’ roster got a dose of villainy with the reveal of three new roster members. Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage join the 4v4 tag team fighting game and are ready to unleash a potent reign of terror. 

The three supervillains form a squad led by Doctor Doom, aptly named the Knights of Doom. The trailer shows off the newcomers’ unique abilities, from Green Goblin using his signature glider in combat to Carnage absolutely tearing foes to shreds in an appropriately chaotic fashion. 

The evil trio joins a roster that includes Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Storm, Ms. Marvel, Ghost Rider, Star-Lord, Wolverine, Magik, and Danger. 

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls launches on August 6 for PlayStation 5 and PC. 

The Lost Wild Resurfaces With A 2027 Release Window

Game Informer

The Lost Wild, the dino-thriller from Great Ape Games and Annapurna Interactive, has resurfaced from a long dormancy and looks ready for a revival. The primal adventure is now arriving sometime in 2027.

Shown during today’s Sony State of Play, The Lost Wild looks to be a first-person survival game where you try to survive in a forest laden with prehistoric animals.

We last saw this game back in 2022, during an Annapurna Interactive showcase. In the time since, it looks like the team has been tuning the graphics and making the dinos look particularly terrifying.

Currently confirmed for PlayStation 5 and PC, this looks like a prime candidate for anyone who’s wanted to see if they could survive in a forest full of hungry dinosaurs. Just remember which ones you should freeze in front of, and which you should run from. We’ll keep an eye on this one as it continues emerging from the amber.

Bancho The Chef Is A Dave The Diver Prequel

Game Informer

Mintrocket is returning to the Dave the Diver universe with a new game and visual style. The prequel follows one of Dave the Diver’s most memorable character, sushi chef Bancho.

The game, titled Bancho the Chef, follows Bancho before he teamed up with Dave and was learning how to be an expert chef. The description for the game reads, “Meet Bancho – long before he became the acclaimed sushi master of Blue Hole. Bancho the Chef is an all-new standalone prequel from the creators of Dave the Diver, following a young Bancho as he travels across Asia to learn from master chefs on his journey to greatness.”

The trailer doesn’t offer too much insight into the gameplay. It looks like minogames about cooking and learning how to cook. The visuals are also different from Dave the Diver as it has dropped the pixel-look for something more straightforward. It does seem to reatin the style and color palette, however.

Bancho the Chef is coming to PlayStation 5 and likely other platforms, as well, eventually.

 

Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis Gets February 2027 Release Date In New Trailer

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis Trailer Release Date PlayStation State of Play

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, the Unreal Engine 5 remake of Lara Croft’s very first adventure in development at Flying Wild Hog and Crystal Dynamics, will launch on February 12, 2027, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. That’s technically a delay, since it was originally set to launch sometime in 2026.

This release date was revealed during today’s PlayStation State of Play in a new trailer, and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis continues to look sharp, highlighting a return to the more classic style of Lara Croft games while reimagining her very first adventure in 1996’s Tomb Raider. Check it out in the new Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis trailer below: 

As Lara Croft, you must harness your wits and athleticism to explore exotic locations lost to time, according to the game’s description: “From the jungles of Peru to the ancient ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious Mediterranean island shrouded in Myth – traverse treacherous landscapes, solve deadly contraptions, and face lethal predators as you hunt for the scattered pieces of the Scion, an artifact of immeasurable power.” 

On top of all of that, there are also dinosaurs, and who doesn’t love a little dinosaur-related crisis in their action games? Okay, maybe Lara doesn’t, but it looks like a good time for us. 

In case you missed it, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is just one of the upcoming games starring Lara Croft. Developer Crystal Dynamics is also working on a brand-new adventure called Tomb Raider: Catalyst, which is due out sometime next year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. 

While waiting for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, check out the game’s reveal trailer from last year, and then read this feature about the series’ timeline, Lara Croft’s new voice, and links between this remake and Catalyst. After that, check out Game Informer’s big list of upcoming video game remakes

New Wolverine Gameplay Offers First Look At Jean Grey

Game Informer

Insomniac offered a new look at Wolverine to open today’s Sony State of Play presentation. The new gameplay presentation shows Logan fighting his way through a group of Reavers to save a group of mutant children. If there’s one thing that the presentation makes clear right from the jump, it’s that Wolverine does not pull his punches. The entire demo is bloody, violent, and filled with brutal slashing injuries on a moment-to-moment basis. We also get a first look at one of the most integral characters from the X-Men fiction making her debut in the game, as Jean Grey shows up to bring her telekinetic mutant gifts into the fight. 

The demonstration includes an extensive infiltration sequence that shows off some of Wolverine’s traversal capability, which involves jumping and sliding along his claws. Claw attacks are unabashedly brutal, with kill animations showing limb removal, head-piercings, and more. Shortly into the demo, we see the telltale pink telekinetic power effects of Jean Grey, as she levitates down into the battle to take out some Reavers. Given the complex friendship and relationship between the two characters in the comics, it’s one of the more exciting character additions we’ve seen so far, joining the likes of Mystique and Sabretooth. 

Game Informer

After Jean’s arrival, the combat continues into an intense motorcycle chase after the kidnapped mutant kids, including a miniboss-esque fight atop a moving truck, where Wolverine takes a bunch of damage, and we get to see a button-tapping sequence that lets him rapidly heal. Of the many impressive visual feats on display in the new gameplay, the healing of flesh over top of Logan’s adamantium bones is certainly one of the most impressive. 

Wolverine continues to look amazing, if decidedly mature in its presentation, every time we’ve seen it in action. The inclusion of familiar Marvel cameos is also a ton of fun, opening the door to the ways this game could act as a gateway into more Marvel adventures in the future. 

Insomniac is targeting a September 15 launch for Wolverine on PlayStation 5.
