Guild Wars 3 Official Announcement Trailer

5 days ago

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Critically-acclaimed game development studio ArenaNet® tonight announced Guild Wars 3TM, the third entry in the legendary and beloved Guild Wars® MMORPG franchise and their first new game since 2012. The game will release globally on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5, marking the first time a Guild Wars game will appear on home consoles. The first beta test is scheduled for fall of 2027.

“Guild Wars 3 is a new era not just for ArenaNet and Guild Wars, but also for MMORPGs as a whole” said Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 3 Game Director and ArenaNet Studio Head. “The MMORPG genre has millions of players worldwide eager for new, modern experiences, and the opportunity to harness that excitement is immense. Our approach with Guild Wars 3 is to push MMORPGs forward, to create an online game world that feels believable, rewarding, responsive, and innovative while at the same time respecting players’ time and providing a positive, supportive space to build community and enjoy new stories in our universe.”

Taking place over a thousand years before the events of the original game, Guild Wars 3 is set in the Tyrian region of Orr, a vast wilderness frontier imbued with the world’s magic. Nature entities with strong connections to the land called Vael spirits embody the vitality of this lush, verdant landscape. Various guilds are engaged in conflict over how to protect or exploit the bounty beyond civilization’s borders. These multitudinous spirits will vary in size and influence within the ecosystems around them, with the most notable of these being the Seeker. As seen in the trailer, every player’s Seeker will serve as a connection to the spirits of Orr and a mount that will carry them on their journeys through the game’s open world.

Players will assume the role of a Vaelwarden, a member of a guild of adventurers committed to preserving and protecting both the spirits of the wild and the land of Orr itself. Through the deep character customization and skill-building gameplay the Guild Wars franchise is known for, players will seek adventure and confront danger across this sumptuous, vibrant online world, growing their relationships with the spirits of the wild, the inhabitants of Orr, and other Vaelwarden players.

A combat system designed from the outset to feel great on both a controller and keyboard rewards positioning by emphasizing the joy of movement and momentum. As players seamlessly transition between various movement modes, they can harness their speed and turn it into bigger damage and impact when fighting their foes.

More information about pricing, beta tests, release date, and gameplay features will be revealed later in 2026 and into 2027. Guild Wars 3 will be available directly from the developers at GuildWars3.com, and can be wishlisted on Steam and the PlayStation Store beginning today, with more information available at the game’s official website.

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Rogue Backpack V4, the latest evolution of its flagship Rogue series designed to meet the needs of modern, mobile lifestyles.

The V4 introduces a reinforced laptop compartment built to accommodate the latest generation of mobile workstations and high-end gaming laptops. A redesigned harness system distributes the added weight across the shoulders and lower back, so the bag feels lighter than it looks even when fully loaded. Users can choose between a streamlined 16” model for everyday carry, or an 18” variant engineered for heavier loads and desktop-replacement laptops – without compromising on comfort or protection.

Rugged Protection for Everyday Carry

The Rogue Backpack V4 features a durable outer shell that is tear‑ and water-resistant, with coated zipper tape for added protection against the elements. Designed to withstand daily wear and unpredictable conditions, the backpack is built to safeguard valuable gaming gear, laptops and accessories whether users are navigating city streets, transit hubs, or long travel days.

Dedicated Laptop Protection, Sized to Fit

Both versions of the Rogue Backpack V4 include a padded laptop sleeve with enhanced shock absorption to protect premium devices on the move.

The Rogue 16-inch Backpack V4 is engineered to securely fit laptops up to 16”, including the Razer Blade 16, while the Rogue 18 inch Backpack V4 is designed for laptops up to 18”, including the Razer Blade 18. Each backpack size is precisely tailored to its supported laptop class, delivering a secure fit that minimizes movement and maximizes protection during transit.

Organized Storage with Travel‑Ready Convenience

Inside, the Rogue Backpack V4 features a reinforced, structured interior that keeps gaming accessories, tech essentials, and personal items organized and easily accessible. Multiple compartments provide space for tech accessories, personal items, and daily essentials, complemented by elastic side pockets, a dedicated accessory loop for headsets, and a hidden back zip pocket for valuables.

For travel, a built-in trolley sleeve secures the backpack to rolling luggage, while an integrated cable passthrough allows users to keep devices powered on the go. The 18” variant offers increased internal volume across three spacious compartments, making it ideal for users who carry more or travel longer.

All‑Day Comfort with Personalized Style

Thick padded shoulder straps and a ventilated mesh back panel provide ergonomic support and airflow for extended all-day wear, even when fully packed. A Velcro front panel gives users space to personalize the backpack with patches, esports flair, or personal touches – a finishing detail that keeps the Rogue V4 unmistakably Razer.

WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 3 Trailer

News, Geek News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

Season 3 also features Personas for Kane and Rey Mysterio, Asuka, Solo Sikoa, and others, the return of NBA star Tyrese Haliburton, new creation parts, movesets, MyFACTION content, World Taunts, and more!

Ringside Pass Season 3* content is here in WWE® 2K26! The latest Ringside Report just dropped, detailing the sizzling summer content available starting today.

On the Premium Track*:

Ringside Pass Season 3 introduces some new and returning faces to the franchise, as Matt Cardona and Brian Pillman make their returns, while La Parka and Torrie Wilson make their very first appearances on a WWE 2K roster, bringing a combined 36 new moves and taunts with them;
- As established in Season 2, all new Ringside Pass Premium Track DLC characters are unlocked and available to claim immediately in Tier 1;
Several new Personas are introduced, including Kane ‘01 and Rey Mysterio ‘01, plus new creation parts and moves for character customization, RXP boosts, Island VC, MyFACTION tokens, and more.

A former Intercontinental, United States, and two-time WWE/Raw Tag Team Champion, Matt Cardona last appeared in the WWE 2K franchise in WWE 2K20, under his Zack Ryder persona. Making his WWE debut in 2007, Cardona never waited for success to find him. Developing the Zack Ryder character – a spiky-haired, fist-pumping YouTube sensation – Cardona quickly won the affection of legions of fans and propelled himself to championship status. After stepping away from WWE in 2020, Cardona made his WWE return in early 2026, including an appearance in the Royal Rumble, just in time to cement his place on the WWE 2K26 roster via the Ringside Pass.

One of the most beloved characters in the history of Mexican lucha libre and AAA, La Parka is unmistakable with his signature skeleton-themed costume, high-flying maneuvers, and flamboyant antics, including dancing down the entrance ramp toward the ring. While the latest incarnation of the La Parka character became an instant star in AAA, and even made a surprise appearance in the 2026 Royal Rumble Match, La Parka has long been beloved by WWE fans. In the late 1990s, La Parka was known as the “Chairman of WCW,” playing air guitar on a steel chair, which he carried to the ring and often used in matches, to the detriment of his unfortunate opponents.

Long before she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019, Torrie Wilson’s athleticism, glamor, and beauty won the admiration of fans around the world. A former fitness model, Wilson first stepped foot into a WCW ring in 1999, working with the likes of Alundra Blayze/Madusa, Scott Steiner, and Eddie Guerrero. Joining WWE from 2001 until her retirement from sports entertainment in 2008, Wilson crossed paths with Stacy Keibler, Victoria, Kelly Kelly, Trish Stratus, and many more. In 2018, she returned to the ring to take part in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match, and later that year was a featured competitor at WWE Evolution, the first-ever all-women’s premium live event, in a Battle Royal for a future championship opportunity.

Brian Pillman’s “Loose Cannon” personality, combined with his awe-inspiring aerial moves, truly set him apart as a Superstar ahead of his time. A former college and pro American football standout, Pillman studied professional wrestling under the revered Hart family. Joining WCW in 1989, Pillman’s airborne offense earned him the nickname “Flyin’” Brian and his partnership with “Stunning” Steve Austin in the Hollywood Blonds tag team led to WCW Tag team Championship gold before Austin turned on him. Pillman continued to evolve, adopting the “Loose Cannon” persona that would follow him for the remainder of his wrestling career. Unpredictable, intense, and blurring the lines between fact and fiction, the “Loose Cannon” raised hell in WCW and ECW, before making his way to WWE. There, he rekindled his feud with former partner Steve Austin, now fully evolved into his “Stone Cold” persona, which helped usher in the Attitude Era, and later joined the legendary Hart Foundation stable. Today, Pillman is remembered as one of the most exciting, unpredictable, and groundbreaking personalities to ever step into a WWE ring.

Two unique new Personas available in the Ringside Pass Season 3 Premium Track hearken back to the Monday Night War: Kane ‘01, complete with sleeveless, flame-embellished tank top, and Rey Mysterio ‘01, sporting denim overalls and a mask to match his WCW SuperBrawl Revenge appearance, looking like they stepped right out of 2001. Throughout the Premium Track of the Ringside Pass, players will also find new Create-A-Superstar parts and moves, including new cosmetic items from brands Chalkline and Homage with a WCW/nWo theme, MyFACTION currency and content, World Taunts and currency for The Island, and more.

On the Free Track:

Personas highlighting historical looks for Superstars, including “Mutiny Faction” Asuka – inspired by the MyRISE storyline from WWE 2K25 – Solo Sikoa ‘22, and Brock Lesnar ‘03, plus NBA star and WWE superfan Tyrese Haliburton, will be available for all players to earn and unlock.

Four editions of WWE 2K26 are available now, including Standard Edition, King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition. Ringside Pass Premium Season 3 is included in the Attitude Era Edition and Monday Night War Edition, as part of the Season Pass, and is also available for individual purchase.

INFERIUS Reveals New Trailer and Playable Demo

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Lucid Rain Studios today unveiled a new exclusive trailer, the first boss reveal, and a playable demo for INFERIUS, its first-person horror roguelike deckbuilder, as part of the Women-Led Summer Games Showcase. The reveal marks the most substantial look at the game to date and opens the door for players to experience its first dominion for themselves.

Inspired by Lovecraft and Dante’s Inferno, INFERIUS drops players into the bowels of Hell, locked in an endless cycle of lost sanity and death. The new trailer (watch here) offers a deeper look at the game’s atmosphere, its turn-based Tarot card combat, and the lantern-driven sanity system that holds the dark at bay between encounters. It also introduces the first ruler players will face: the boss of Limbo, the first of nine dominions modeled on the sins of Dante’s Divine Comedy.

The accompanying demo is available now on Steam. It covers the tutorial and sections of the first dominion, including its branching paths, exploration segments, card battles, and the boss encounter. Each run reshuffles encounter types across the map, so no two descents into Limbo play the same way.

Gothic 1 Remake is Out Now

News, Geek News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

Gothic 1 Remake is available now on PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, bringing one of the most beloved cult RPGs of the early 2000s back to life. Gothic 1 Remake has been fully rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 while staying faithful to the atmosphere, story, and brutal charm of the original classic.

Get Gothic 1 Remake:

Step into the role of the Nameless Hero, a prisoner thrown into the Valley of Mines: a ruthless penal colony surrounded by a magical barrier. Inside, prisoners rule themselves. Three rival camps fight for power, alliances shift constantly, and survival depends entirely on how well you adapt to this unforgiving world.

Originally released in 2001, Gothic earned its legendary status through its immersive world-building, reactive NPC behavior and ecosystem, challenging progression, and unmatched sense of player freedom. Gothic 1 Remake preserves these core pillars while modernizing the experience for a new generation of players. Will you earn your place in the Old Camp, join the rebels of the New Camp, or follow the strange beliefs of the Swamp Camp?

But keep in mind, that Gothic has always been a game that refuses to hold the player’s hand. There are no glowing trails leading you through the world. No enemies magically scaling to your level. Nothing stopping you from wandering somewhere dangerous far too early. If a creature looks terrifying, that probably means it can kill you.

Well… welcome back to the Valley of Mines.

Gothic 1 Remake is being developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The game is available now for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Six Flags Introduces Flexible Membership Program at Six Additional Parks

5 days ago

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), North America’s largest regional amusement park operator, today announced the expansion of its Membership program at six additional parks beginning June 8, offering guests a more flexible, value-driven way to enjoy their favorite destinations throughout the year.

Additionally, all Gold Memberships include access to a designated group of parks within its geographic region, allowing guests to enjoy multiple destinations with one Membership. The four pass regions include West, Texas, Midwest and East.

The expanded rollout introduces Memberships for the first time ever at:

Carowinds & Carolina Harbor—Charlotte, N.C.
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom—Allentown, Pa.
Kings Dominion & Soak City—Doswell, Va.
Kings Island & Soak City—Mason, Ohio
Knott’s Berry Farm & Knott’s Soak City—Buena Park, Ca.
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels—New Braunfels, Texas

Since their introduction in 2013, Six Flags Memberships continue to evolve to meet changing guest expectations—combining affordability, convenience and premium, multi-park benefits into one seamless experience.

“Memberships have come a long way,” said Chris Meyering, Six Flags’ senior vice president of commercial. “Our new Membership unlocks an entirely new level of access—giving guests the ability to visit multiple parks across their region with one pass. It’s a first-of-its-kind benefit that delivers more flexibility, more value, and more opportunities to experience the fun—whenever and wherever they want.”

A MODERN WAY TO VISIT: MEMBERSHIPS BUILT FOR TODAY’S GUEST

Designed to meet the needs of modern consumers, Six Flags Memberships offer a low monthly payment option, making it easier than ever for guests to extend their park visits beyond the traditional summer season.

Memberships are particularly appealing for guests who:

Want maximum value by exploring multiple parks within their region
Want reasons to visit all year long with regional park access, from thrill rides to festivals, family-friendly entertainment plus cornerstone Halloween and holiday events
Want more visits throughout the year without committing to one upfront payment
Want to enjoy the parks without the interruptions that come with pass renewals
See greater value in a year-round experience vs. a fixed-term pass

“The expansion of our Membership program makes it easier than ever for guests to enjoy Six Flags on their own terms,” Meyering said. “Memberships deliver unmatched flexibility, strong everyday value and premium perks across more parks that turn every visit into something more rewarding. This rollout reflects our commitment to creating lasting relationships with our guests while enhancing their overall entertainment experience.”

Like Season Passes, Gold and Prestige Memberships offer a more premium experience through:

Multiple park access through regional benefits at the Gold level, and access to all Six Flags parks at the Prestige level (regional details included at the end of this release)
Free general parking at select parks
Exclusive discounts on food, beverages, and merchandise
Bring-a-friend offers and seasonal promotions
Optional premium benefits, such as skip-the-line access and preferred parking at higher tiers
Loyalty rewards and pass perks that provide even more reasons to visit

Six Flags is focused on elevating the guest experience, and all six parks unveiling the new Membership program offer multiple reasons to visit:

Carowinds & Carolina Harbor—With an exciting recent expansion at Camp Snoopy including Snoopy’s Racing Railway and Charlie Brown’s River Raft Blast the park is focused on thrilling events and entertainment for 2026 and massive news for 2027 is still to come. Guests at Carolina Harbor are enjoying its newest addition, Carolina Harbor Shore Club, an adults-only area, and Charlotte’s first swim-up bar, Paul Metto’s Boathouse Bar.
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom—Pairing the record-breaking thrills of Iron Menace with the pint-sized adventures of Planet Snoopy, the park continues to deliver unforgettable family fun in 2026. Guests can enjoy an expanded lineup of live entertainment and seasonal events, including the debut of the all-new Splash! Water Parade, alongside returning favorites and enhanced experiences throughout Wildwater Kingdom.
Kings Dominion & Soak City—While riders soar on its newest addition, Rapterra—the record-breaking launched wing coaster—the park is focused on family entertainment in 2026 with its dramatically expanded summer program that includes a new fireworks and drone show, live bands, parades, end-of-the night spectaculars and more.
Kings Island & Soak City—While summer refreshment was the focus last season as Soak City enjoyed a major expansion including RiverRacers, the first dual-racing water coaster in Ohio, and Splash River Junction for kids, this season the park has raised the curtain on Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare. This one-of-a-kind interactive dark ride introduces a new generation of families to the park’s iconic characters through modern technology and elaborate storytelling.
Knott’s Berry Farm & Knott’s Soak City—With a bounty of events and live entertainment like the iconic Boysenberry Festival, Ghost Town Alive! and Knott’s Summer Nights, the amusement park will debut the new Crafty’s Kitchen chicken restaurant and the highly anticipated MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress coaster in 2026. At Soak City, guests are enjoying renovations and beautification efforts throughout the water park this season. An exciting announcement is anticipated for 2027.
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels—In addition to enhancements to rides and attractions like Blastenhoff Tower and Han’s Hideout, the “World’s Best Waterpark” debuted Wasserbahn Racers in 2026—a three-lane mat racing water slide build into the natural hillside.

WHY MEMBERSHIP? HOW IT DIFFERS FROM A SEASON PASS

Six Flags Memberships provide an alternative to the traditional Season Pass, giving guests a dynamic and flexible, subscription-style low monthly rate for enjoying the parks:

Continuous Access vs. Seasonal Expiration

Memberships eliminate the need to renew each year, offering continuous access and peace of mind for guests who plan to visit regularly. New Memberships stretch a full 12 months rather than expiring at the end of a specific operating season—delivering stronger value, especially for guests joining mid-year. After 12 months, Memberships grant continuous park access when kept active.

Monthly Payments vs. Upfront Investment

Instead of paying in full at once, guests can enjoy budget-friendly monthly payments after an initial payment, lowering the barrier to entry and making frequent visits more accessible.

In contrast, traditional Season Passes are typically limited to a set operating period and require renewal each year.

STRATEGIC TIMING FOR SUMMER DEMAND—AND STABILITY

The launch aligns with the close of spring promotional offers across most parks, providing a timely next-step option for guests who are looking to extend their summer visits into a year-round experience. By introducing Memberships at the start of summer season, Six Flags is meeting demand from guests who want greater flexibility and ongoing access throughout the year at multiple parks within their region.

This timing also reflects a broader strategic opportunity for the company—leveraging peak demand to accelerate a shift toward more predictable, frequent engagement with guests while strengthening long-term performance.

“Expanding our Membership program reflects a deliberate shift toward a more stable, recurring revenue model. While meeting guests where they are, we’re creating a more resilient business that supports continued reinvestment across our parks,” Meyering added.

Guests can explore Memberships at the six additional parks, including perks and pricing, beginning June 8 at SixFlags.com.

SIX FLAGS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN) is North America’s largest regional amusement-resort operator with 20 amusement parks, 14 water parks and nine resort properties across 13 states in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The Company also manages an amusement park in Saudi Arabia.

NACON and Cyanide Studio are pleased to announce that Tour de France 2026 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5™ and Xbox Series X|S! This year’s edition introduces new features and several gameplay improvements to deliver the most immersive cycling experience.

As the official game of the most prestigious cycling competition, Tour de France 2026 faithfully recreates all 21 stages of this year’s race. Iconic locations such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the starting city of the 2026 edition, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris have been accurately reproduced in-game. Take control of legendary riders such as Tadej Pogačar and compete for the iconic Yellow Jersey or create your own rider and build a cycling career from the ground up.

One of the major additions in Tour de France 2026 is the introduction of a dynamic weather conditions system. Rain can now make roads slippery and directly affect gameplay. Every corner and descent becomes more challenging, requiring players to carefully adjust their racing lines and braking distances to avoid crashes that could cost them victory. Riders with higher agility ratings (from D to A+) are better prepared to stay upright in difficult conditions and avoid a fall.

Tour de France 2026 brings additional new features such as the addition of the Paris-Tours and Muscat Classic races, official National Champion jerseys, and a redesigned user interface that enhances realism and immersion.
