Okay, so for anyone who doesn’t know, Pragmata is this action game I’ve been super hyped for. You play as Hugh, and you’re trying to get out of a research station on the moon. I’ll be running around with weapons and a jetpack to dodge enemies, and this AI character, Diana, rides on my back. She’s an android and basically hacks the enemy robots – these things called Bots – to either shut them down or make them easier to deal with. We haven’t known much about the story, but they just dropped a new trailer that gives us a little more of a clue about what to expect.
At the start of January, Minecraft introduced redesigned baby animals for creatures like cats, pigs, cows, chickens, sheep, and rabbits. These new baby versions aren’t just smaller copies of the adults; they have unique looks, often with bigger heads, and their own sounds. They also behave a little differently and tend to run faster – a pattern that’s continued with the addition of baby horses, aquatic creatures, and wild animals.
The delay of Marathon until 2026 might actually be a good thing. It allows the game to avoid launching alongside the popular ARC Raiders and gives the developers more time to polish the gameplay and add features players have been asking for, such as proximity chat. They’ve also revisited and improved the available characters, adding new options like the “free loadout” Rook and the combat medic, Triage. To help people decide if it’s for them, Bungie is offering a chance to play Marathon before its release.
The game Saros tells the story of Arjun Devraj as he explores the ever-changing world of Carcosa, a setting designed to keep players engaged and surprised. Actor Rahul Kohli, known for his roles in shows like Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, and iZombie, will play Arjun. Players will take on the role of Arjun, tasked with tracking down a mysterious person, though their identity and Arjun’s motivations remain a secret. Like Housemarque’s previous game, Returnal, Saros will likely reveal its story gradually through repeated gameplay runs. This is a unique approach compared to story-focused PlayStation games such as The Last of Us and God of War, but it allows Housemarque to utilize their particular strengths as a studio.

For over a decade, fans of Silent Hill waited for a new installment after 2012’s Silent Hill: Downpour received a mixed response and the promising P.T. demo was ultimately cancelled. While Silent Hill: Ascension arrived in 2023, it didn’t quite satisfy fans hoping for a traditional new game, and Silent Hill: The Short Message, though better received, felt too brief. Surprisingly, the Silent Hill 2 remake successfully revived interest in the series, followed by positive reviews for Silent Hill f. Now, with the franchise gaining momentum again, Silent Hill: Townfall aims to revitalize this beloved and influential survival horror series.
