The PGA TOUR 2K25 Gameplay Trailer is here! Transporting players to some of the most iconic courses and tournaments on the PGA TOUR alongside cover pros Tiger Woods, Max Homa and Matt Fitzpatrick, as well as rising star Rose Zhang, the trailer shows off enhanced graphics and new game features, including the new EvoSwing mechanic and Perfect Swing.
Iconic Majors, including the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, and the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club, as well as PGA TOUR tournaments such as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, and more are shown in stunning detail, as PGA TOUR pros and custom MyPLAYERS* alike tee off and sink putts. Commentators and crowd reactions celebrate a clean drive onto the fairway, and rebuke a sharp slice into the crowd, while XP bonuses, earned attribute points, and skill tree unlocks reward player progress.
The new EvoSwing mechanic is complemented by new shot types, ball flights, roll physics, and visual improvements. As evident in the trailer, with EvoSwing, a player’s swing is broken down into four components: contact, rhythm, transition and swing path, which are measured and rewarded (or penalized) accordingly. Perfect Swing makes its debut in PGA TOUR 2K25, presenting an all new difficulty setting that reduces the material impact of external factors on a player’s swing, a truly accessible setting that allows both new and experienced players to enjoy the thrill of hitting fairways and greens like a champion.
For more competitive players, Cross-platform Ranked Matchmaking** returns in PGA TOUR 2K25. This deepens the pool of competition for players who are ready to test their skills and prove their dominance on the “dance floor.”
Authentic brand representation has become a hallmark of the PGA TOUR 2K franchise. Players can customize their MyPLAYERS with the freshest apparel and gear from licensed brands including Titleist, Callaway, COBRA, adidas, and more on display in the Gameplay Trailer.***

Two Point Museum takes players into a realm where art meets antics, and exhibits collide with occasionally questionable management choices. To ensure aspiring curators are well equipped to run their own museum empire when Two Point Museum launches on March 4th, 2025, this video gives an overview of all the intricacies and foibles of management.
Running a museum is a balancing act of epic proportions. Money comes from ticket sales, donations, and the perfectly reasonable prices at the gift shop. But beware – arranging expeditions, marketing, workshops, decorations, training, and all those other pesky expenses could put you in the red. Fortunately, loans and sponsorships are always available as backup, though they come with their own risks.
A major component of any curator’s management duties is overseeing their staff. They are the backbone of any museum… and occasionally its biggest headache. Experts analyse and maintain exhibits, janitors handle messes and workshop builds, assistants manage ticket booths, gift shops and expeditions while security protects exhibits, donations and the peace. Skilled staff come at a price, so museum managers must keep those pay checks flowing or risk facing their wrath. So, who’s up for the challenge?
Create the ultimate guest experience in Two Point Museum by sending experts on far-flung expeditions to uncover new exhibits, keeping museums looking spick and span, and ensuring the children keep their hands off the dinosaur bones. Two Point Museum launches on PC, PlayStation 5 and XBOX X|S on March 4th, 2025, with advanced access unlocking on February 27th for those who pre-order the digital Explorer Edition. Head over to www.twopointstudios.com and follow Two Point Museum on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to find out more.

The expansion will be available on Steam, GOG, Xbox, and PlayStation when it launches later this Spring.
Players will be able to pilot a new ship to battle against alien enemies and ancient threats in an all-new story set after the events of EVERSPACE 2. Mysterious attacks have laid waste to human settlements in Cluster 34, destabilizing factions in power and stranding survivors. With this destruction, the uneasy peace between humankind and Okkar is threatened—space pilots will venture into the Okkar Homeworlds to discover the truth behind the threat before war reignites the DMZ.
During the events of Wrath of the Ancients, warp gates open to four new fully explorable star systems including the Okkar homeworlds and Aethon, adding even more secrets throughout Cluster 34. These new star systems will be packed with new enemies, weapons, and gear to discover.
The scars of the Okkar-Colonial War run deep in Cluster 34. The Dreadnought Minokawa was hijacked while enroute for decommissioning—a warship this mighty can turn the tides of power towards whoever holds it. Track and defeat this titanic threat, but be prepared for the biggest battles in the EVERSPACE series so far. Test your skills and ship loadout in gigantic, multi-stage boss fights designed to push pilots to their limits.
“Our first story DLC,Titans, gives space pilots a small taste of what’s to come. We’re exploring entirely new scales of possibility for our breakout space shooter RPG with the inclusion of massive encounters like Dreadnought and Leviathan that will echo forward into the future of the EVERSPACE series,” said ROCKFISH Games CEO and co-founder Michael Schade. “The team and I are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of possibility in our award-winning game world as we build our next, substantially larger expansion.”
The ROCKFISH Games team also released an update for EVERSPACE 2, bringing AMD FSR 3.1.0 to EVERSPACE 2 as well as a migration to Unreal Engine 5.4, and optimizations to performance for PC and consoles. Find the full list of patch notes on Steam and the EVERSPACE website.

Arrow Video is excited to announce the February 2025 lineup of their subscription-based ARROW platform, available to subscribers in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland. Enjoy a selection of new titles, from carefully cultivated curations to shorts by new talent. For serious enthusiasts, ARROW offers deep dives into the tastes of filmmakers that changed the way we see the genre.
In a recent profile, the New York Times praised ARROW and noted, “Viewers with a fondness for the esoteric will be hard-pressed to find more quality bang for their streaming buck.”
The February 2025 lineup leads with A Certain Killer and A Killer’s Key, a pair of classic 1960s Japanese assassin films. Directed by prolific Japanese director Kazuo Mori (Zatoichi at Large), both were made in 1967, and star Raizô Ichikawa (Conflagration) as a former soldier who becomes a hitman for a yakuza gang. Exclusive to ARROW is the new slasher film Killer Graduation, previously released as Departing Seniors in the US.
The Seasons include Love Sucks, a selection of vampire vixens for Valentine’s Day and Jenn Wexler Selects, a look at the films that inspired the director of The Sacrifice Game and The Ranger.
ARROW’s February calendar kicks off February 7 with a quartet of titles exclusively for subscribers in the United States. Spanning decades and originating around the globe, there’s something for everyone.
Blight (US): One year ago, Logan mysteriously disappears while on a camping trip. Her welcome home party is thrown into chaos with a series of mysterious earthquakes and power outages.
Sea Fog (US): Written and produced by Bong Joon-ho (PARASITE, SNOWPIERCER, THE HOST), Sea Fog is a maritime thriller that captures the essence of why he is considered one of the most talented filmmakers working today. Upon learning that his decaying fishing trawler, the Junjin, is about to be sold, Captain Kang looks to make one final score by smuggling illegal immigrants from China to South Korea. After arriving at the agreed pickup point, a violent storm forces the Junjin to stall in open waters. As tension and unrest spread, Kang and his five-man crew find themselves pitted against their desperate passengers – all while an ominous fog envelops the ship and everyone onboard.
Wolves, Pigs, Men (US): “Three brothers find themselves pitted against each other as rivals in the Yakuza underworld. Jiro robs stolen loot from his younger brother, Sabu, and his gang. When their eldest brother, Kuroki, learns of this, he makes his own plans to conspire against both of them, resulting in a treacherous nightmare of unbridled violence.
Combining elements of French New Wave and film noir, this “”ferocious, dynamic yakuza thriller”” (Los Angeles Times) established Kinji Fukasaku (Battles Without Honor and Humanity, Violent Panic: The Big Crash) as a master of Japanese genre cinema.”
The Reflecting Skin (US): An instant cult classic when it premiered to sold out screenings at Cannes in 1990, The Reflecting Skin is a darkly humorous, nightmarish vision of the American dream. Growing up in the 1950s in small-town Idaho, 8-year-old Seth and his friends play a prank on the town recluse, a mysterious English widow named Dolphin Blue (Tony winner Lindsay Duncan). After his father tells him stories of vampires, Seth becomes convinced Dolphin is a vampire, stealing the souls of his neighborhood friends one by one. When his older brother Cameron (Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen in one of his first starring roles), returns home from military service in the Pacific and takes a liking to Dolphin, Seth feels it’s up to him to save Cameron from his friends’ fate. With stunning visuals recalling Edward Hopper paintings and its surreal blend of horror and humor, The Reflecting Skin is a “stunningly beautiful…Gothic masterpiece” (The Guardian)!”
Also on February 7, do your best to survive until summer in a new ARROW exclusive title: Killer Graduation (UK/IRE/US/CAN, released in the US as Departing Seniors).
Graduation is a killer. When his recent clash with his bullies sends high schooler student Javier (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Primo) to the hospital, he wakes up feeling… different. Javier is now plagued by psychic visions – but it’s perfect timing as there’s a masked killer on the loose.
With the help of his best friend Bianca (Ireon Roch, Perpetrator), the teens decide to take matters into their own hands and attempt to unravel the mystery of this deranged mask killer before the body count rises and the killer strikes again.
Kazuo Mori strikes twice on February 10 with a double bill of Japanese crime!
A Certain Killer (UK/IRE/US/CAN): Shiozaki’s low-profile existence as a chef at a local sushi restaurant serves as a front for his true job as a professional assassin whose modus operandi is poisoned needles. He’s approached by Maeda, a low-ranking member of a local yakuza group, to take out a rival gang boss. But the sudden arrival into his life of a spirited young woman, Keiko (Yumiko Nogawa, Gate of Flesh), has dramatic ramifications on his relationship with his new employer.
A Killer’s Key (UK/IRE/US/CAN): Ichikawa’s lone wolf assassin is back in A Killer’s Key, this time masquerading as a traditional dance instructor named Nitta who is called in to avert a potential financial scandal that threatens to engulf a powerful yakuza group with ties to powerful figures in the political establishment.
On February 14, subscribers might expect candy and flowers from ARROW. Instead, they’ll get a bite in the neck, and maybe a kiss, with LOVE SUCKS, a collection of vampiric Valentine’s treats.
Titles Include: Vamp, A Taste of Blood, Vampire Clay.
Also available on February 14:
Mockingbird Don’t Sing (US): Based on the actual events of one of the most horrific cases of child abuse ever to be documented, this haunting drama tells the tale of a young girl who was locked in a room for over 12 years.
The Invitation (UK/IRE/US/CAN): In this taut psychological thriller by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Jennifer’s Body), the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green, Upgrade) shows up to his ex-wife Eden and new husband David’s dinner party. The pair’s tragic past haunts an equally spooky present: Amid Eden’s suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda.
All About Lily Chou-Chou (US): For kids around the world, music is often the only salvation when the pain and anxiety of teenage life becomes too much to bear. Yuichi (Hayato Ichihara) is in the 8th grade and he worships Lily Chou-Chou, a Bjork-like chanteuse whose epic music is lush and transcendent. Yuichi only lives for Lily Chou-Chou’s big Tokyo concert, where the lies and violence can be washed away by the presence of his goddess and her powerful music. But fate has yet another obstacle in store for Lily’s devoted fan.
Red Peony Gambler (US): Wandering female gambler Oryu the Red Peony (Junko Fuji), so known for the tattoo on her shoulder, rambles into town searching for her father’s killer with a wallet left at the crime scene as her only clue. At a card game she meets a kindred spirit, the noble and handsome yakuza Katagiri (Ken Takakura), when they team up to foil a cheating player. As their paths continue to cross she befriends a gang boss and other sundry denizens of the underworld who all join forces to guide her on a blood-soaked quest for vengeance. With its fantastic tropes and charismatic stars this inaugural entry in the Red Peony Gambler series proved an influential watershed of the “chivalrous gangster” genre and was so popular that it spawned multiple sequels.
On February 21: Jenn Wexler Selects (UK/US/CA/IRE).
Jenn Wexler, the writer/director of the SXSW-nominated punk slasher The Ranger and boarding school horror The Sacrifice Game (Fantasia Film Festival Audience Award Winner) picks films from the ARROW catalogue that have nestled their way into her dark little heart and refused to let go.
“You know how there are some movies that worm their way into your brain, stick with you, and pull you back again and again? It could be because of an amazing image, a creepy concept, an incredible kill, a breathtaking performance, or a certain something you just can’t find the words for but you know after viewing it that it’s changed the very core of your being. My ARROW picks span genres, countries, decades – some of them are even by friends I’ve gotten to know and love on the film festival circuit. But they all have one thing in common: Each has nestled its way into my dark little heart and refused to let go. I hope you enjoy them.’’
Titles Include: Noroi: The Curse, The Deeper You Dig, The Addiction.
Also on February 21, the flavor of the day is sweetened cannibalism, space invaders, and mercenary justice.
The Bad Pack (US): Mexican immigrants in a small Texas border town, under attack by a local militia group, hire a band of mercenaries to protect them.
Hobgoblins (UK/IRE/US/CAN): A young security guard must track down diminutive aliens who kill people even as they make their fantasies come true.
Hobgoblins 2 (UK/IRE/US/CAN): The film takes place after the original film, where McCreedy has been locked in a psychiatric hospital after blowing up the film studio to destroy the Hobgoblins. Kevin and his friends are now in college, and their Professor introduces them to McCreedy, who warns them that it is still possible to be attacked by Hobgoblins. Despite McCreedy’s warning, Kevin and his friends re-encounter the Hobgoblins and must fight against them and their own greatest fears, in order to save their lives.
Ice Cream Man (UK/IRE/US/CAN): Poor Gregory. After being released from the Wishing Well Sanatorium, all he wants to do is make the children happy. So Gregory reopens the old ice cream factory, and all the unappreciative brats are reprocessed into the flavor of the day.
The lineup concludes on February 28 with fantasy creatures, a board meeting, and dance.
Caverna (UK/IRE/US/CAN): A cyclops strangles a man and chases a princess through a forest. In a progressive theater workshop outside of Florence, students Giorgia and Lorenzo act out their dreams and childhood traumas, as teacher Alba pushes them to confront their inner myth.
Putney Swope (UK/IRE/US/CAN): The board of directors at a Madison Avenue ad agency must elect a new chairman. In the maneuvering to make sure that enemies don’t get votes, all the members accidentally cast their ballot for the board’s token black man, Putney Swope.
Shake the Dust (UK/IRE/US/CAN): Despite its genesis in the Bronx, Hip-Hop has become a universal language spoken across all cultures. Shake The Dust celebrates this global unity by chronicling three different break dance crews in the slums of Uganda, Yemen and Cambodia where Hip-Hop serves as a saving grace from the drugs, depression and poverty grasping youth. Includes music from Executive Producer Nas and Oscar-winning artist Common

Gaijin Entertainment is thrilled that Aces of Thunder, the highly anticipated VR flight combat simulation game, will feature meticulously recreated aircraft from World War I and the already announced World War II-era warbirds. Iconic fighters like the Fokker Dr.I, famously flown by the Red Baron himself, or the SPAD S.XIII, the favorite aircraft of René Fonck, Allies’ most decorated ace, will have authentically detailed cockpits, historically accurate weaponry, and realistic flight models, delivering an unparalleled and immersive gameplay experience.
Step into the boots of pioneering aviators and experience the dawn of aerial warfare. Aces of Thunder invites players to relive the epic dogfights between the Entente Powers and Central Powers. Every maneuver in the sky channels the raw intensity of history; every takeoff fills the air with the exhilarating breeze of freedom under canvas wings. These wooden and fabric aircraft, with their open cockpits and mechanical instrumentation, showcase early aviation’s craftsmanship and daring innovation.
