Co-Presented by Screen NSW

Sydney Film Festival (4–15 June 2025) will host an unmissable, one-night-only world exclusive event featuring two titans of storytelling: legendary video game creator Hideo Kojima and Australian cinema icon George Miller, in the lead up to the release of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH on PlayStation®5.

Taking place at 5pm, Saturday 14 June at Sydney Town Hall’s historic Centennial Hall, this in-depth conversation will explore the creative intersections between film and video games, and the visionary approach each artist brings to their craft.

Hideo Kojima, the acclaimed creator behind the DEATH STRANDING and Metal Gear Solid series, is known for creating video games that are deeply cinematic and blur the lines between film and video games like no other – fitting for someone who’s famously declared that “70% of my body is made of movies.” His latest creation DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, releasing June 26th, looks to push the boundaries further in cinematic storytelling and interactive art.

Joining Hideo Kojima on stage is George Miller AO, the Oscar-winning director of Mad Max: Fury Road and Happy Feet, and a personal hero and recent collaborator of Hideo Kojima’s. The two will discuss shared creative ground, the evolution of cinematic storytelling in gaming, and the surprising role Miller himself plays in DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, which sees players traverse Australia in a hauntingly beautiful journey to re-establish human connection.

“This is a rare and exciting meeting of two creative minds who have reshaped their respective industries,” said SFF Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “Kojima and Miller’s shared love of cinema and storytelling will make for an unforgettable conversation at this year’s Festival.”

Head of Screen NSW Kyas Hepworth said, “The Sydney Film Festival continues to push the boundaries of storytelling, and this unmissable event is a testament to their bold vision. Screen NSW is thrilled to support this world exclusive in-conversation event with Australian icon Dr George Miller and renowned video game creator Hideo Kojima, which highlights the synergies across the NSW Screen and Digital Games Strategy, the Sydney Film Festival, and the screen and digital games industry. This is an event that will inspire, entertain and connect audiences through the power of imagination.”

Sydney Film Festival runs from 4–15 June 2025. The full program is on sale now.

Tickets for the Hideo Kojima and George Miller event are on sale now at sff.org.au.

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH releases 26 June on PlayStation®5. Learn more at playstation.com.

The first visual novel about Ballroom dancing releases this year

Sydney, Australia – Australian publisher and developer, DigitallyDownloaded.net, has announced their first title, The Last Waltz, a visual novel that invites the player into the vibrant world of Dancesport, which will release in late 2025.

The Last Waltz is the first visual novel or video game that looks at the world of Dancesport – competitive ballroom dancing. It offers a visually stunning and emotionally intense story that explores the complexities of dance partnerships, ambition, sensuality, and self-discovery. 

Visit the Steam page here: LINK

Set against the backdrop of glittering ballrooms and intense rehearsals, the story delves deep into what drives competitors in this unique sport that blends athleticism and artistry.

“This is a story that I’ve wanted to tell for more than 15 years, ever since I discovered Dancesport myself, and the stars have finally aligned to make it happen,” Producer, Matt Sainsbury, said. 

“I’ve been fortunate to find an artist to do the incredible complexities of Dancesport justice, a music team to create a 35-track, authentic Dancesport soundtrack, and worked with some world standard dancers to bring video into the visual novel and, hopefully, introduce a sport to people that may never have seen it before.”

Digitally Downloaded has released a trailer to accompany the announcement, that highlights the game’s striking character designs, evocative music, and narrative-driven gameplay, as well as launching a Steam game for the game, where fans can wishlist the title so they receive the latest updates and information as they become available.

Better yet, throw your roasted enemies into a pot, and cook up some game-changing soups!
 
Coming to Steam Early Access later this year, Shroom and Gloom is set to grow exponentially once its spores are dispersed, but in the meantime Team Lazerbeam is encouraging mushroom hunters the world over to dive into the brand-new demo, which is available now.
 
The Shroom and Gloom demo drops you into its murky depths to battle through 26 handcrafted tunnels, and face off against spore-swarming enemies and biome bosses.
 
Discover game-changing Foresight cards to shape your experience through multiple runs, unlock powerful combos across three playstyles, and explore strange rewards hidden in The Gloom.
 
Since 2014, Cape Town-based Team Lazerbeam has been on a quest to blast people in the face with joy and celebrate imperfection. Embracing a DIY punk ethos, the 8-strong Lazerbeams cram pieces of their personalities into every project, rough edges and all, to create experiences that feel handmade and human.
 
Previous titles from the band include Teenage Blob, Snowcones, and Wrestling With Emotions. Shroom and Gloom is their most ambitious project yet, so Wishlist it now and live forever.

Huge early access update sees new maps, a new social hub experience, Goldbrook — with a free weekend stealthily approaching!

Irvine, United States — May 14, 2025 | Mithrigarde, a world once lost to darkness, bursts with treasures ripe for the taking. Adventurers flood the verdant lands of Legacy: Steel & Sorcery to loot lost treasures, brave the darkest dungeons and, most importantly — make it out alive.

Utilising recognisable classes such as the Wizard, Warrior and Rogue, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is designed to welcome MMO and RPG players to the Extraction genre with open arms (or, rather, openly armed enemies). After selecting their class they can queue alone, find allies or join friends in teams of three and plunder this gorgeous world together; where they can discover three new a world that just got considerably bigger with three brand new maps: 

Dawnhammer Crypt — once a revered sanctuary of the noble Dawnhammer Paladins, this hallowed ground has fallen into darkness. Now a haunted crypt crawling with Undead (and far more sinister threats) it challenges only the bravest adventurers. But for those who endure its terrors, untold riches and rare resources await within its shadowed halls.

Greenwood Night — Night falls upon Greenwood, where bandits stalk travelers, ghosts are whispered to roam and undead grow bold and vicious. Bring a lantern — darkness invites death.

Goldbrook: Social Hub — When a break from plundering is needed, Goldbrook is a new area for players, acting as a free-for-all social space designed for downtime between adventures. Spar with scarecrow training dummies scattered throughout the area, challenge others to duels, or simply relax and chat with fellow players. It’s your campfire between battles.

Created by industry veterans who spent decades shaping World of Warcraft, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is a love letter to PvP combat, resource gathering, exploration and the togetherness of MMOs, all while putting a fresh twist on a fantasy environment. WoW fans, however, can expect a totally new experience from Notorious Studios.
