Saros

🎮 Saros on PlayStation 5 looks EVEN BETTER in the new trailer, the upgrades shine on PS5 Pro.

The action title has gone gold and launches on 30 April 2026 as a PS5 exclusive. Housemarque and SIE praise the visuals, performance and immersion: the trailer spells out PS5 Pro enhancements, higher render resolution, PSSR upscaling, and smoother, more responsive movement across Karkoz. DualSense features were covered earlier.

Outbound

🚐 Outbound has been pushed from late April to May 14, the van move is delayed to avoid a rushed launch.\n\nA technical issue popped up at the final stretch, so the studio chose extra polish and time to prepare builds for all platforms, including Switch 2. The free demo is extended to May 12. Expect a cozy electric-van life sim: base-building, crafting and an open world to explore solo or with friends.

Street Fighter

🔥 Street Fighter live‑action trailer: three fast three minutes of punchy action, a swarm of fighters and one painfully forced hadouken. WILD

Set in 1993, the film throws former friends‑turned‑rivals into the next «World Warrior Tournament», Chun‑Li recruits them, but a deadly conspiracy forces Ryu and Ken to fight each other and their past demons. Cast highlights: Andrew Koji (Ryu), Noah Centineo (Ken), Callina Liang (Chun‑Li), Jason Momoa (Blanka), Cody Rhodes (Guile), Roman Reigns (Akuma), David Dastmalchian (M. Bison) and more. Directed by Kitao Sakurai. Overseas premiere: October 16.

Overwatch

⚠️ Overwatch is riding a popularity spike, but the new hero Sierra is already taking heat: her drone kit feels clunky, yet the ultimate functions like an outright instant-kill engine.

All 23 projectiles deal 180 damage each, the ult charges at just 1800 points, and homing bullets let her stack ult charge absurdly fast. Players are calling for an immediate NERF, cut the damage or add detonation delay before she shreds competitive balance.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire

A cinematic trailer for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire landed, it opens with the intro cutscene where Jack Pepper gets a tip on a strange case and dives into his first investigation, all drenched in noir, black‑and‑white rubber‑hose styling.

Every story cutscene is hand‑drawn, the lead is voiced by Troy Baker, and players will unravel corruption, kidnappings and murders across the city of Mouseburg through regular cinematic beats, basically the CHEESY detective shows up to clean the mess 🧀

Hytale

⚠️ A full clone of Hytale, «Hytale: Sandbox RPG», popped up in the Nintendo eShop, sold by RoVi Ninen for $4.99, ripping the name and art and misleading players.

Hypixel and its head Simon Collins-Laflamme say lawyers are already on it, the studio has sued. Original Hytale was PC's top release in 2026 and has no console ports. Watch out, that's a SCAM.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss

👀 Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss nails the Lovecraft vibe but arrives with baggage, Nacon and its studio group (including Big Bad Wolf) have filed for insolvency. Can this launch patch their finances? Doubtful.

Critics are lukewarm: 70 on Metacritic (PC) and 72 on OpenCritic; only 35% recommend. Praises: oppressive atmosphere, solid puzzles, visuals, acting, sound and environments. Flaws: persistent BUGS forcing reloads, clunky controls, story-tied QTEs, optional filler systems, annoying backtracking and poor checkpoint design. Consoles are already out; PC launch is 16 April at 20:00 MSK. Russian localization is text-only. 😬

AnimGraph 2

🚗 Files from AnimGraph 2 in Counter-Strike 2 contain driver/passenger slots and a detailed damage system, BATTLE or just Source 2 leftovers?

Dataminer Thour found references to driver and passenger seats, damage for headlights, wheels and breaking glass, the usual setup for full vehicle control. However, he later clarified similar code appeared in Dota 2 and likely ties to the mysterious HLX. Technically vehicles could work in CS2, but Thour leans toward cross‑project experiments and engine tests rather than a ready-made car mode. Valve, as usual, stays silent.

Mandate Order

🛡️ Playtest live: Mandate Order from Digital Sky, sign up on Steam with one click, JUMP IN.

Defend a border fortress in Warring States China: mix earthen and wooden bulwarks with delicate politics inspired by the Hundred Schools, manage production, raise armies with war chariots and survive dynamic seasons where weather and predators hit crops and logistics. Minimum specs: Intel Core i7-9700, 16 GB RAM, 20 GB disk. Full release planned for 2026.

Phantom Blade Zero

Phantom Blade Zero from S-Game is still months away, but the studio has already revealed a "butterfly effect" tease 🦋

Dev lead Civay Liang says the game leans on the «уся» idea, combat tied to nobility. The player's morality is handled by an "honor system": side quests aren't throwaway encounters, selfless help to NPCs in hopeless moments will entangle their fates with the protagonist's revenge and can directly determine the ending. Not just kung‑fu, but consequential choices.
