Venture to the Forbidden Lands

After rescuing the young boy Nata on the border of the reportedly uninhabited Forbidden Lands, the Hunter’s Guild gathers its resources and forms the Forbidden Lands Expedition Team to investigate Arkveld, the mysterious “White Wraith,” that attacked Nata’s village. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the player’s Hunter is joined in the Expedition Team’s Avis unit by Alma the Guild-appointed Handler, Gemma the reliable Smithy, and the Hunter’s trusty Palico.

Upon arriving in the Forbidden Lands, the Expedition Team encounters multiple biomes with dynamic identities that players can experience seamlessly between cutscenes and gameplay. The ecosystems of the Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Oilwell Basin, and more rapidly shift between vibrant seasons of “Plenty” brimming with life, and unforgiving periods of “Fallow” where monsters fight over limited resources. The sudden shift in the landscape known as the “Inclemency” drastically impacts both the creatures that live there and pushes hunters to adapt their tactics.

A Whole New World

Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of new creatures alongside series mainstays like the iconic Rathalos, ranging from herds of small species to large monsters – some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every creature hunters encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors. The Apex predators of each region such as Rey Dau, Uth Duna, and Nu Udra are heralded by a period of Inclemency that reshapes the environment around them. The Seikret, an agile new mount native to the Forbidden Lands, enables hunters to track monsters across the shifting scenery, perform actions like wielding the Hook Slinger to gather materials on the move, and easily switch between two weapons while out on hunts.

The Monster Hunter™ series’ acclaimed action-packed gameplay is back and more exciting than ever with an array of new moves, special abilities, equipment, and more. Utilise the new Focus Mode to carefully aim attacks and guards while identifying weak points on a monster, then target wounds with Focus Strikes to deal massive damage. Some weapons also have the ability to disrupt monsters’ attacks using either Offset Attacks that counter monster attacks with an attack of their own, or Power Clashes that can physically overpower a monster after an intense struggle. As you master these new additions to combat and enjoy the rich story of Monster Hunter Wilds, you can play solo, join up to three other players across any system with cross-platform online multiplayer, or receive aid from notable story characters with the new Support Hunter NPC ally feature.

The Road Ahead

Beyond today’s highly anticipated release, Monster Hunter Wilds will continue to evolve with post-launch content updates. Event Quests will be introduced starting next week, with special armor that players can earn as rewards. The first free major Title Update is planned to release in Spring 2025 and will see the return of fan-favourite monster Mizutsune, the sleek dancing Leviathan that ensnares its prey with immobilising bubbles. Additional details on limited-time quests and the other exciting content coming in free Title Update 1 will be revealed soon.

  • Enhanced realism and immersion thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and renewed sound design

Sydney, Australia, February 28th, 2025. Milestone and MotoGP™ are excited to announce the upcoming release of MotoGP™25, the official MotoGP™ videogame featuring all the riders and tracks of the 2025 season from the most exciting sport on earth, MotoGP™, as well as Moto2™ and Moto3™. New tracks are joining the 2025 calendar for even more intense racing across the globe such as the legendary Brno in the Czech Republic, returning for the first time in five years, and the debut of Balaton Park in Hungary.

MotoGP™ 25 will be available on April 30th, 2025, on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store.

Technical skills, mental strength and strong passion are key ingredients for any MotoGP™ rider eager to leave a lasting mark in the sport. This mix of characteristics can be summarised as the Heart of Racing, the concept behind the new MotoGP™25, which blends all these elements to offer fans the most comprehensive virtual MotoGP™ experience yet.

The brand-new Training Sessions feature is one of the biggest novelties of the new chapter of the franchise. Just like real riders, players will have the opportunity to enjoy some riding time away from the competition, mastering their craft and improving their skills in the Motard, Flat Track and Minibikes disciplines, experiencing dedicated challenges set in original tracks immersed in beautiful environments.

Regardless of players’ skill level, the new MotoGP™25 allows everyone to express their racing passion with the new Arcade Experience, a simplified racing experience available in all game modes and all types of bikes. This option offers a more accessible approach to the game for those who are less familiar with motorcycle simulation but want to feel the thrill of pushing to the limit. It’s not just physics, in the new game it will be possible to see and feel every detail thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and renewed bike sound, realised with dedicated live recording sessions of the original bikes to truly immerse players into the world of MotoGP™.

Due to popular demand, the Riders Market, FIM MotoGP, and Stewards are returning for MotoGP 25. Accompanying these features is a new Bike Development System that will give players more control over the evolution of their bikes through the season, while managing social relationships in the paddock to take fans deeper into the life of a real rider. 

Those who want to test their limits against the world will appreciate the full Cross-play*, available from day one, as well as the new ranked races, in which it will be possible to compete against players of the same level. Moreover, the LiveGP Championship* is back with new challenges, while the two players local split-screen is the perfect choice to race from the comfort of the couch.

Once again, the community will be able to free their creativity with the game editors. From the helmet editor – where one of the players’ designs even became a real helmet worn by Maverick Viñales’ during last September’s San Marino GP – to the racing number, butt patch, sticker editor and the new podium emotes. Everyone will be able to personalise their virtual rider and share their creations with the world across different platforms*.

The next chapter of MotoGP™ is just around the corner. The formation lap has already started, so get ready for the lights to go out on April 30th, 2025!

*Cross-play, LiveGP, UGCs sharing not available on Nintendo Switch version

Outrageous virtual reality gladiator sim GORN 2 takes a swing at Meta Quest, SteamVR, and PSVR2 this year

GORN 2 is the skull-crushing sequel to VR smash hit GORN. New developers Cortopia, working alongside original series creators Free Lives, are stepping into the arena to take on virtual reality’s most outrageous gladiator sim.

In GORN 2 you will ascend to a heavenly realm where the souls of all the gladiators you slaughtered in the first game now dwell—and kill them again. Expect new weapons, new arenas, new traps, new enemies, and new bosses as you raise Hell in the heavens and prove your battle prowess before an army of terrifying foes.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3391450/GORN_2/
Meta Quest: https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/gorn-2/7525358220915248/

This brutally slapstick brawler will be making its way to Meta Quest, SteamVR, and PSVR2 later this year, with in-your-face combat so irresponsibly violent you’ll check your headset for blood spatters when the fight is over.

Key features

  • Engage in fierce gladiatorial battles powered by an outrageous fully physics-driven combat engine, savagely striking down foes with a bountiful collection of 35 devastating, uniquely violent weapons–including many monstrous new additions to your gladiator’s arsenal
  • Journey through a series of heavenly realms populated by the fallen heroes of the original game. Here you’ll battle the five sons’ champions: powerful bosses primed to unleash fresh challenges upon even the most seasoned, blood-flecked arena veteran
  • GORN 2 is everything GORN was but MORE. More weapons, more enemies, more arenas, more traps, more power-ups, and more hilariously over-the-top combat. If you loved the first game, but still feel a raging yearning for more, GORN 2 will sate your blood-thirst
  • Conquered all five heavenly arenas? Then stand your ground in the relentless non-stop onslaught of Endless Mode, or try creating your own battlefields of destruction in Custom Mode. Get creative and crush your opponents any way you choose, no matter how outlandish

GORN 2 will launch later this year on Meta Quest, SteamVR, and PSVR2.

Splitgate 2’s open alpha exemplifies how 1047 Games is evolving the series’ core while greatly expanding its scope. Read on below for an overview of everything featured in the open alpha before portaling yourself right into the action.

Splitgate 2’s PC and console open alpha includes: 

  • All-New 24-Player Multi-Team Experience
  • Multi-Team Portal Warfare: Dash into three-team 8v8v8 matches for Splitgate’s biggest battles to date. Multi-Team Portal Warfare combines the fluidity of portal movement with an expansive playfield for a wealth of opportunities to get the upper hand on opponents, and will be playable in two modes:
  • Multi-Team Domination: Conquer and control four zones while shutting down opposing teams.
  • Multi-Team Hotzone: Battle to claim a central zone while keeping opponents off your throne.
  • All-New Game Modes
  • Splitball: This electrifying two-team arena mode combines the classic fun of Capture the Flag with the fast-paced strategy of Halo‘s Oddball, challenging rivals to master both offense and defense simultaneously. Portal-hop into enemy territory to steal Splitballs while defending a home base with precision and strategy.
  • Firecracker: Firecracker enhances the conventional two-team Search & Destroy match type with the addition of respawns. Attacking teams deploy to ignite a firecracker, and–if they can keep enemies at bay–fill the sky with fireworks while sending the crowd into a roar.
  • Thrilling New Maps

  • A Stockpile of Weapons, Equippable Gear, and More
  • Eight unique primary and secondary weapons across three factions, for a total of 24 base firearms. Pop a headshot with the Sabrask faction’s Goliath revolver, chip away at shields with the Meridian Phasma SMG, or send rivals to the spawn screen with the Aeros Blitz shotgun.
  • Nine pieces of equipment that deepen the strategic possibilities at hand, like the Aeros faction’s deploy-anywhere Porta-Portal.
  • Tide-turning power weapons stashed around each map.
  • Returning Classics (Improved Based on Community Feedback)
  • Team Deathmatch: Rounds are extended and a higher kill target has been implemented following the community’s response to the closed alpha.
  • Hotzone: Fight for control of the zone, this time without shared progression on captures.

And all the new content in Splitgate 2’s open alpha is still less than half the game…
