Developer IronOak Games has teased a little more of For the King 2 – the sequel to its wonderful tabletop-RPG-meets-digital-board-game adventure – with its latest trailer revealing a handful of new features including landboats and recruitable pets. The original For The King was a bit of a treat, blending familiar RPG staples – dungeon crawling, questing, turn-based exploration and combat, loot acquisition, and so on – into a light-hearted, optionally co-operative rogue-like adventure with some neat story generation through its myriad randomised narrative events. Much of that core remains in place in For The King 2, but the sequel -…
Square Enix has pledged to finally address issues affecting its wonky Chrono Cross remaster, known as The Radical Dreamers Edition, in a new patch arriving this month – almost a year after its initial release on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch. Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition launched last April, offering players a gentle remaster of Square’s dimension-hopping 1999 PlayStation JRPG Chrono Cross, in which a teenage boy named Serge finds himself in an alternate reality where he died as a child. While the game itself has been celebrated over the years – Eurogamer contributor Edwin Evans-Thirwell called it an…
Bloober Team has announced a June launch window for Layers of Fear – the Layers of Fear 1 & 2 remake formally known as Layers of Fears – and shared a new trailer to coincide with the news.

The Last of Us episode six, known as “Kin”, reunites us with Joel and Ellie as they continue their search for Tommy and the Fireflies. After a definite pick up in action and episode five’s emotional finale, episode six reverts back to a slightly slower pace of storytelling with a heavier focus on character development and world building. The bulk of the episode once again uses Naughty Dog’s source material as a flexible framework – it remains true to the game’s core narrative, but adjusts and embellishes certain aspects of its story.
