My Friendly Neighborhood Console Release Date Trailer

In celebration of the two-year anniversary of the Steam release of My Friendly Neighborhood, developer siblings John and Evan Szymanski and indie horror publisher DreadXP are pleased to announce that the comedic survival horror has launched on console. This port expands the availability of the acclaimed adventure to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, and is available on Game Pass for Xbox and Windows.

It was just another night for Handyman Gordon… until it wasn’t. Called into the studio behind the once-beloved puppet show, The Friendly Neighborhood, after the defunct children’s show began mysteriously airing on televisions across the globe once more, Gordon finds that the puppets have come to life and they’re not so friendly after all. Step into Gordon’s work boots and use a variety of letter-based weapons to fend off perilous puppets, solve perplexing puzzles, organize an intricate inventory, and get to the bottom of the return of this once-family-friendly-turned-terrible television transmission.

Features:
  • A colorful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!).
  • Non-linear, survival horror gameplay. Make sure to check your map!
  • Unique weapons like the Rolodexer. Do you know your ABCs? You better – it’s your ammo.
  • An array of puzzles in the vein of the survival horror greats.
  • A multitude of diverse environments, from the “BTS” Ray’s Workshop to cardboard crayon halls.
  • A grid-based real-time inventory, ’cause that’s just way better.
  • NOW FEATURING: Post-game Neighborhorde mode!

LILO & STITCH BECOMES FIRST MPA TITLE OF 2025 TO REACH $1 BILLION AT THE GLOBAL BOX OFFICE

The Walt Disney Studios’ (TWDS) “Lilo & Stitch” has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office ($416.2M domestic, $584.8M international), becoming the first Motion Picture Association (MPA) title of 2025 to reach the milestone and cementing its status as the #1 MPA release of the year globally and internationally.

With this achievement, The Walt Disney Studios has released four billion-dollar films in the past 13 months alone (Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch,” Walt Disney Animation’s “Moana 2,” Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2”).

Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Alan Bergman said, “We knew there was a lot of love for ‘Lilo & Stitch’ with audiences around the world, yet we never take that for granted, and we’re proud of how this new film has connected with people. I’m thankful to our filmmakers, our cast, and all on our Studio team who have made this film such a success, and we look forward to more adventures with these characters ahead.”

Domestically, “Lilo & Stitch” opened May 23 to a record-breaking $183 million in four days, setting the biggest Memorial Day weekend debut in history. It is one of only two films this year to surpass $400 million at the domestic box office.

Internationally, “Lilo & Stitch” stands as the #1 MPA international release of 2025 to date. It’s the highest-grossing Disney live-action film of all time in Mexico and is already the highest-grossing film of 2025 across a range of key international markets in Europe (France, Italy, Spain) and Latin America (Brazil, Mexico), in addition to several smaller markets.

“Lilo & Stitch” is currently playing in theaters worldwide, and a sequel is now in development. The new live-action film’s box office success has reignited global interest in the franchise, driving record viewership of the original animated classic and related content on Disney+, which have been viewed more than 640 million hours on the platform globally.

Netflix Greenlights Assassin’s Creed Live-Action Series

Netflix has officially greenlit the live-action Assassin’s Creed series, with Emmy nominees Roberto Patino (DMZ, Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, Homecoming, The Killing) set as creators, showrunners, and executive producers. The Assassin’s Creed live-action series is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions: one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, the other fighting to preserve free will. The series follows characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.

“We are so excited to work alongside Roberto, David, and our Netflix partners to bring this beloved franchise to series,” said Margaret Boykin, executive producer and head of content at Ubisoft Film & Television. “We look forward to delivering an experience that speaks to the heart of what fans love about Assassin’s Creed, while introducing its unforgettable worlds and timeless themes to new audiences worldwide.”

“We’ve been fans of Assassin’s Creed since its release in 2007. Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin’s Creed opens to us,” said Wiener and Patino in a joint statement. “Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story – about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance. But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time. And it’s about what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break. We’ve got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we’re committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet.”

“When we first announced our partnership with Ubisoft in 2020, we set out with an ambitious goal to bring the rich, expansive world of Assassin’s Creed to life in bold new ways,” said Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s Vice President, Scripted Series. “Now, after years of dedicated collaboration, it’s inspiring to see just how far that vision has come. Guided by the deft hands of Roberto Patino and David Wiener, the team has carefully crafted an epic adventure that both honors the legacy of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and invites longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the thrill of the Brotherhood as never before.”

In 2020, Ubisoft and Netflix announced they entered into an agreement to develop content based on the globally popular Assassin’s Creed video game franchise. This live-action adaptation is the first series to be developed under the agreement. In addition to Wiener and Patino, the show is executive produced by Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television, as well as Matt O’Toole.

Netflix will also be the home of the highly anticipated Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, coming out this fall.

Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter puts players in the role of a Nightfall specialist, joining forces with up to five teammates as they battle through a war-ravaged, dystopian future, surviving unrelenting waves of Zeds, unlocking new skills, and building the ultimate arsenal.

Developed and published by Tripwire Interactive, Killing Floor 3 is currently in development and will launch worldwide on July 24, 2025 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation®5 system, and the Xbox Series X|S console system.

Wild West Supermarket Simulator Release Date Trailer

SunDust, a label of German publisher Toplitz Productions is excited to announce the release date for Wild West Supermarket Simulator.

The store simulation will be entering its Early Access phase on Steam on August 7, 2025 and puts you in charge of a rundown store in an almost deserted ghost town of the Wild West. You have to prove your business acumen and bring not only the granddaddy of modern supermarkets back to life, but the town itself. With each success the city will be filled with life – and more customers.

After a successful run during the last Steam Next Fest, where the demo could garner a positive review score of 88%, the Early Access version is building on the solid foundation from the demo experience and the collected community feedback – but adding bucketloads of fresh content.

Work your way up from humble beginnings and eventually offer 70 products from dried goods and bread up to fresh produce and meat or tools as well as equipment to your hopefully growing number of patrons. Cater to the ever-changing demands of your customers, react to events like a drought or changing economic environments impacting the wholesale prices as well as your income. Adjust prices on the go and walk the narrow line between affordability and profit. Unlock more features and items as you level up your store. Decorate, upgrade, renovate and customize not only your store, but also your homestead overlooking the town.

Participate in exciting minigames like the tomahawk throwing contest or the shooting range to unlock new licences for your ever-growing store. Hire helpers to work the cash register, organize your storage or restock the shelves according to your specs. Watch the town come back to life, as the success of your store brings new customers into town.
