ASSEMBLE YOUR OWN SQUADRON AND GO BEYOND THE WALLS IN KOEI TECMO’S A.O.T. 3!

Exterior Scouting Missions revealed in a new gameplay trailer!

Hertfordshire, 2nd July 2026 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force revealed new gameplay details about A.O.T. 3, the latest instalment in the Attack on Titan action game series currently in development and scheduled for release this winter on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC Windows via Steam®.

The opening animation for the game* will be produced by MAPPA, the animation studio that worked on Attack on Titan: The Final Season, with action scene animator, storyboard artist, and key animator Arifumi Imai returning as director. Stay tuned for more information and future reveals!

A.O.T. 3 is the riveting culmination of the action game series, depicting the story of Attack on Titan from its survey corps beginnings to its dramatic conclusion. In this title, fans will dive into the action by taking on the role of a member of the Scout Regiment to relive the historical events that shaped the world alongside the iconic cast of Attack of Titan. Each member of the Scout Regiment will have unique skills and abilities, with fan-favourite characters possessing powerful abilities, allowing players to assemble their own squad to turn the tide of battle. As in previous titles, fans will be equipped with omni-directional mobility gear that allows them to take to the skies, delivering a one-of-a-kind combat experience thanks to the enhanced gameplay. The Titans will be more terrifying and dangerous than ever before, with new attacks and behaviours that will force players to fight relentlessly for their survival. Newcomers will be able to enjoy this final evolution of human-versus-Titan combat thanks to the new Casual Mode.

The new Exterior Scouting Missions will allow players to freely explore the world outside the walls by constructing supply bases, taking down dangerous Titans and expanding humanity’s domain. It will be their responsibility to carefully manage their ODM gear fuel and blades to ensure their squad stays equipped and in motion, whilst simultaneously keeping morale high to avoid certain defeat, and to decide whether to continue exploring at the risk of facing combat, injury or death, or to retreat to survive another day.

A.O.T. 3 is currently in development and is scheduled to release this winter on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC Windows via Steam®. The game will include Japanese voices with texts in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

Star Fox Review

Star Fox

Developer: Velan Studios
Publisher: Nintendo
Platforms: Switch 2
Release Date: 25th June, 2026
Price: $49.99 – Available Here

Overview

Star Fox is a bit of an odd franchise. While the games are known far and wide, they never really gained a high level of appeal to stand with Mario, Kirby, and Link. Sure, quality has usually been a thing, but for Nintendo, it has mostly been “Star Fox 64 or nothing”, as that title never really has been matched. Well, for those wanting a new game, there is both good and bad news. Star Fox is on the Switch 2, remaking the original Star Fox 64, with a new design and presentation, bringing the title to current-gen hardware. Sure, it’s what we know, but is it good? Is it still worthy of another release? Let’s find out.

Story

James McCloud has been betrayed by trusted allies. A new crew labelled Star Fox is out to save Lylat from Andross and get a bit of retribution along the way. You know this story. Fox McCloud, Peppy, Falco, and Slippy head out to save the day across the stars, and this time, the plot stays the same but is told from a new perspective. This means the new Star Fox has cutscenes, or more of them anyway. It is a whole new perspective for the tale, adding a bit more depth and meaning to the overall experience. Sure, there still isn’t a ton of grit, but it feels like a space epic, and that is pretty neat to have in a Nintendo experience.

I think that part of me wanted this to be a little more than a remake. Add some extra scenes. Give us more story and fill some gaps. This, however, is literally just Star Fox 64 with a lot of shiny new sparkle to give itself to a new generation, and I suppose that is ok. I do think, however, that it is a bit of a missed opportunity not to flesh this very short tale out more, as maybe some filler to expand on this seldom-visited franchise would add some value. Alas, what is here is still “fine”, and most will be happy with the standard nostalgia of it all.

Gameplay

I think to have a mostly on-rails shooter in 2026 is kind of a bold move, remake or not. With Star Fox, however, I am perfectly fine with it. The gameplay here is silky smooth, where players are pulled across each linear stage as they attempt to dodge obstacles and shoot enemies to progress forward. In many ways, not a lot has changed with the core mechanics. Charging shots to hit multiple foes, bombs, and barrel rolls all make up the simplistic yet effective design. This has always been one of those titles that, on the surface, seems rather complicated. Get just about anyone behind the controller, however, and everything just sort of clicks due to the high level of accessibility. New or old, most will not have any qualms getting the hang of the ultra-entertaining gameplay.

The campaign here lasts about 90 minutes in total. That isn’t a surprise if you know the game, but it might be if you expected more. Is that 90 minutes worth a full price tag? Well, that is complicated. I think back in the 90’s when we beat a short game of such quality as Star Fox, we replayed it often. Now, gaming moves so quickly, and the market is about retention, rather than just providing one single experience. Newer gamers may be put off by the length or want more, but I do think personally the value is fine for what’s offered. Not only do you get the campaign, but you also get multiplayer, challenge modes, and general collecting of items with a scoring system that adds tons of replayability. If you love Star Fox, this is hands down a no-brainer. If you just want something for your Switch 2, however, maybe you should stick to the classic and see how things go.

Audio

The music is exceptional. Not much has changed, but the remastered score may be one of Nintendo’s best to date, as even as I sit here typing, I can still hear the music in my head. The sound effects are also super nostalgic, from the whoosh of a bomb to the tink of a power-up acquisition. There is something special about those old sounds, and this title does well to keep them relevant for this experience. If I had any complaints with this remake, however, it would be the voice acting. Peppy and Fox are fine. Everyone else sounds…out of character? Something just seems off, and while I am happy the game is voiced, I wish there was a little more inflection and passion in the tones, as some actors just seemed to be bored in terms of delivery, leaving cutscenes a bit lacklustre overall.

Visuals

This is what the Switch 2 does well. The graphics look so smooth and polished here, and the new designs and animations look spectacular. Sure, sometimes lips don’t always sync perfectly, but I like seeing the polish here. I really appreciate the new detail on the environments. Sure, we went from polygonal blocks of space junk prior, but having the level of detail along with almost perfect layouts led to some incredible realisations. For instance, I was taken aback quite a bit when I realised a flaming building that fell before me was the same one that was in the first title. It’s interesting how much more these worlds come to the surface with the new design, but the execution is flawless, and fans should be elated to explore it all.

Overall

Star Fox is an updated Star Fox 64, now on the Switch 2 with completely upgraded visuals and audio. That really is all there is to it, but it is one of the better remakes Nintendo has made to date, which is saying a lot, as most have been solid. Sure, the voice acting isn’t amazing, and the game is a bit short if you just look at the campaign, but this has always been a game where you just go “I wanna play some Star Fox (just like the old days) and jump in, and thankfully that appeal still holds strong. I really hope Nintendo find their eventual mainstream audience they crave with this release, as it’s a great introduction to the beloved mascot, and hopefully a footnote before his next big outing.

World of Tanks: HEAT Reveals Season 1 “Lost Eden”

July 2, 2026 – Wargaming today announced the launch of Season 1, titled “Lost Eden”, for its new free-to-play tactical vehicle shooterWorld of Tanks: HEAT on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Launching July 1, the Season introduces an exciting chapter of battlefield content, including a new Agent, two tanks, a brand-new map, and a premium Battle Pass to expand the HEAT experience.

Lost Eden introduces Flair, a new Marksman-class Agent specializing in stealth and misdirection. Her passive ability, Signature Masking, keeps her hidden from enemy targeting systems, while her Ultimate, Echo Proxy, deploys a controllable duplicate vehicle that can be used to confuse opponents, set up ambushes, and reposition across the battlefield.

Agent Flair arrives with two unique deception-based tanks, both of which can be earned for free through the Battle Pass:

  • Leopard 2FK (ATGM launcher) – Feign Death lets it disguise itself as wreckage while still moving; Electro-Optical Jammers cut enemy targeting accuracy.
  • Leopard 2KST (autoloader) – Active Camo makes it nearly undetectable; EMP Trap drops an area-denial device that damages and slows enemies.

The battle moves to its latest map, New Eden, a sprawling desert battlefield built around the remnants of a forgotten agricultural megaproject. Massive biodomes rise above the sands while abandoned research facilities provide cover, creating a map that supports both long-range duels and close-quarters engagements.

The new Battle Pass runs from July 1 to September 2. As with all seasons in HEAT, all rewards can be earned for free through normal play. An optional Premium Battle Pass is also available for 1000 HEAT-Coins, allowing rewards to be unlocked in any order.

In addition, a dedicated quality-of-life update planned for mid-July will introduce several community-requested features:

  • Test driving any vehicle before purchase
  • A Credits boost for all players
  • An option to disable Ultimate ability cinematics

About Ghost Hunting Journal

When death is not an end but a pause, what path will a lingering soul choose? In a world where the boundary between life and afterlife blurs, Ghost Hunting Journal draws you into a modern tale of spirits, secrets, and unresolved fates.

When mortals pass, most souls ascend to heaven for reincarnation. Yet some refuse to move on. Bound by lingering attachments, they remain in the world of the living, classified by heaven’s registry as Spirit Permanent Residents (SPR) and more casually known as “Soul Squatters.”

As heaven prioritizes large scale soul recovery and recycling, these unregistered spirits fall into a state of limbo. Most fade quietly into obscurity, but a mischievous few grow stronger and use their powers to interfere with the living, giving rise to ghost stories and urban legends across the city.

Thus, an ancient profession finds new purpose in the modern age: Spirit Agent.

Key Features

  • Narrative Setting: Experience modern Chinese supernatural tales, blending ghost stories with moments of laughter and emotion.
  • Anime-Style Presentation: Enjoy quirky, cute characters and dynamic manga-inspired storytelling.
  • Dual Protagonists: Switch between two characters with distinct abilities to overcome unique challenges.
  • Creative Ghost Hunting: Craft tools to detect, track, and outsmart supernatural entities.
  • City Exploration: Travel freely via light rail, interact with NPCs, and explore a vibrant mountainous city.

Gameplay Overview

Ghost Hunting Journal is a narrative-driven adventure set in the fictional Chinese megacity “Riverrun.” You follow an unlikely duo of spirit agents, contrasting in personality yet perfectly in sync, each equipped with unique abilities to investigate and resolve supernatural mysteries. By switching between the two protagonists, players tackle challenges from different perspectives, combining their skills to progress through each case. Blending heart-pounding ghost encounters with witty, comedic banter, every investigation delivers a mix of suspense, storytelling, and character-driven moments. 

Availability

Ghost Hunting Journal is now available with a playable demo on PC via Steam and the new demo update will be on 20th July, letting players experience its anime-style supernatural mystery adventure early. Dive into the world of Riverrun, take on ghost-hunting cases, and get a first look at its dual-protagonist gameplay and narrative-driven design
