At the 2025 showcase, Humble’s portion wasn’t the only unveiling; announcements were also made by partner studios like Akupara, Alawar, and others during the Friends of Humble Pre-Show that took place before the main event. Together, these sections revealed a total of four new games for the first time at this event.
In a recent spotlight, one of the standout games is “Billie Bust-Up,” which, while not entirely novel like “Town of Zoz” or the successor to “Star Fox” titled “Wild Blue,” is definitely worth getting enthusiastic about. Sharing a resemblance with games such as “A Hat in Time,” “Billie Bust-Up” is a 3D platformer, and its characters hail from Hazbin Hotel, making it particularly intriguing. The game takes inspiration from classic animated musicals, with the characters breaking into song throughout the gameplay—be it rhythm games or boss fights accompanied by catchy villain tunes.
In the story of “Solo Leveling,” our protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo, initially struggles as a disadvantaged E-rank hunter, facing discrimination. However, an unknown entity selects him as its unique player, elevating his status. As the narrative progresses in “Solo Leveling,” we discover that Sung Jin-Woo can enhance his talents and capabilities by defeating monsters, bosses within dungeons, and by overcoming gates. But what transpires when Sung Jin-Woo ascends to level 100?
Despite significant advancements and settled points since our strike commenced last year, the latest offer from the negotiating team contains concerning gaps that could expose our workers to harmful AI practices. Our union has presented a revised proposal that meticulously fills these gaps, resulting in a contract that provides the essential safeguards necessary for our members to maintain secure, long-term careers as video game performers.
Moon Studios, now independent, has rolled out an action role-playing game titled No Rest for the Wicked, which is currently available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in early access. This title offers a top-down perspective and a combat system that relies on stamina, influenced by games of the soulslike genre. The decision to release it as early access stems from Moon Studios’ ambition for this project and their belief in player input. Back in January, the developer hinted at an upcoming significant update called The Breach, and now more information about it has been disclosed.
As a dedicated Dark Souls gamer, I’ve always had a soft spot for the original game, even though its successors boast more Dexterity-friendly rings and a wider array of bosses, armor sets, and weapons. However, it was the first installment that ignited the incredible franchise we know today. Here are some of the most challenging side quests I’ve ever encountered in Dark Souls.
PlayStation Home didn’t receive a follow-up on PS4 or PS5, and it was officially discontinued in 2014. Many gamers are likely grateful that Sony redirected their focus towards the exceptional first-party games like Bloodborne, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn which helped them maintain market supremacy in the mid-2010s; it’s a pity that we didn’t get PlayStation Home 2 but these fantastic titles instead. However, despite being a Second Life-like imitation, PlayStation Home always had an endearing, rough-around-the-edges appeal, and some nostalgic gamers might be eager for its return.
Lately, LEGO unveiled plans to establish a new in-house game development studio for creating future titles. This is significant news for the brand, but it’s somewhat unexpected since TT Games has been the primary developer for the franchise for quite some time. With LEGO transitioning development teams for the first time in two decades, it leaves us wondering what lies ahead for Traveller’s Tales in the future.
Brendy stated that the landscapes of Wilds aren’t like those found in Breath of the Wild or Shadow of the Colossus; they lack the immersive quality these games offer. Edwin criticizes the scoutflies, saying they make intriguing and lush environments feel like a mix of Matrix code and buttons. I mentioned something earlier about these places being artificial. Except for a few special items like mushrooms or helpful rock slides, there’s no incentive to engage with them in ways that make them seem real.
