Earlier this month, Funcom hosted a large-scale Beta Weekend of its upcoming multiplayer survival game Dune: Awakening. The event was a major success, with large numbers of players flocking onto the sands of Arrakis, stress-testing core systems to ensure the game is fully ready for launch on June 10th.

Players got to experience roughly 20-25 hours of the early survival experience, including about 25% of the Hagga Basin map, but this is only scratching the surface. Dune: Awakening is multiplayer survival on a massive scale, and beyond the beta lies a vast world full of content, challenges, and gameplay systems waiting to be uncovered.

That’s why developer and publisher Funcom will host an exclusive livestream on May 28th where developers will both show and talk about what players can expect to see as they reach further into Hagga Basin and beyond, into the Deep Desert.

We’ll head further into Hagga Basin, showing you what you can expect to see, build, and experience in the midgame. We’ll also cover advanced gameplay mechanics such as The Landsraad, and we’ll dive deep into the Deep Desert to show you how Dune: Awakening’s endgame game offers plenty to do whether you prefer PvE or PvP.

For this new edition of Pro Cycling Manager, Cyanide studio offers a revised sponsorship management system to further enhance the strategic aspect of the game. Pro Cycling Manager 25 will be available on PC on June 5, 2025.

In Pro Cycling Manager 25, sponsors are discovered throughout the seasons. They also have more prerequisites for signing with your team, such as the origin and age of the cyclists. And, of course, the team’s race results and rankings are of paramount importance. These sponsors are signed individually, which means that you can get several contracts at the same time. By choosing the right sponsors, you can create interesting synergies for your team. From one season to the other, the financial investment can be increased if the conditions for development are met. But greater commitment on their part requires better results from the cycling team in return.

Other sponsor-related mechanics are present in Pro Cycling Manager 25, giving it a crucial role in the management of his cycling team. This choice remains that of the player, and can be made according to objectives and resources available.

Pro Cycling Manager 25 lets you take on the role of team manager, whose decisions are crucial to the success of your cycling team. Manage budgets, recruit riders and attract the attention of sponsors season after season! Sponsors gain in influence in Pro Cycling Manager 25, each with requirements to be met before granting you funding. Last but not least, the AI of competitors has been improved for a more realistic behavior.

Leaf Blower Co. Demo Announcement Trailer

Leaf Blower Co., the relaxing outdoor cleaning simulator from developer LifT Games and publisher Forklift Interactive, revs up for its first demo available now on PC via Steam.

Set in a quiet town in New England, players will find themselves at the beginning of their Leaf Blowing career, having just come home to set up their own business. Across the full story mode, you’ll explore a variety of locales, each with hidden easter eggs to hunt and optional objectives to complete, alongside your standard leaf-blowing duties.

On top of that, you’ll find yourself sorting out problems beyond just leaves, whether that’s boxes, coconuts, or anything else that a trusty leaf blower might be a helpful tool for clearing away. And of course, Fall is a fickle mistress – while you’ll be seeing your share of warm sunny days, you’ll also be working through rain, fog, and even snow as you find that weather makes all the difference to the job!

“As soon as we came to Leaf Blowing as the core mechanic, we never looked back. We hope people find it as fun and calming to do as we do, whether that’s for a quick 20 minutes or hours on end!” remarked Seán Forsyth, developer at LifT Games.

Alongside the main jobs in your leaf-blowing career, you can always take a break in your schedule to seek out a side job as well. While your regular clients will be at specific locations and have their own requirements, you’ll find the side jobs are much more adaptable to the mood you’re in. Fancy heading to the tennis courts in the sunshine for a leisurely afternoon session? Or maybe the soft patter of rain and a nighttime option at the museum is more your speed?

Then again, an early morning blizzard on the beach would be bracing as well! Unlocking new locations, tools, and skills as you play through the main story jobs, your options only grow over time. And hey, why not spend some of your hard-earned cash from all this work on new skins for your tools? Nothing wrong with looking your best and having fun while you do.

The demo of Leaf Blower Co. includes three full story levels, multiple unlockable tools and skills, and of course, the ability to play levels your way – choosing the location, weather conditions, and the time of day that suits you. And it’s only a fraction of what’s to come in the full game!

Leaf Blower Co.’s first demo is available today on PC via Steam. For more information, check out the official website, follow @LiftIndie and @forkliftgames on Twitter.

Starbreeze Entertainment and The Gang are proud to announce that Out of Sight, a unique and spine-chilling narrative adventure, is available now on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and will be coming to Nintendo Switch this June.

For the bravehearted in virtual reality, Out of Sight VR developed by Flat2VR is also launching today on Steam VR, with Meta Quest and PlayStation VR2 versions coming soon.

In Out of Sight, players take on the role of Sophie, a young girl with blindness navigating a haunted mansion with the help of her beloved teddy bear. Having regained sight through Teddy, Sophie’s survival means relying on instinct, sound, and Teddy’s guidance to uncover the secrets lurking in the dark.

Presented in a unique second-person perspective, players will guide both Sophie and Teddy through an unsettling world full of mystery, illusion, and danger. Do you have what it takes to help Sophie escape?

“What started as a student project has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined,” offers Anna Erlandsson, Media and Community Lead at The Gang. “We’re incredibly proud to share Out of Sight with the world – a deeply personal, eerie, and emotionally resonant game that invites players to see things differently. Watching Sophie and Teddy’s story come to life has been a joy, and we can’t wait for players to experience it for themselves.”

Indeed, the origins of Out of Sight trace back to a final exam project, developed by a small team of students at Sweden’s Futuregames academy. What began as a short prototype – born out of a desire to explore bold, unconventional storytelling – lingered in the minds of those who played it. Over time, the idea grew into a full-fledged game, driven by a deep belief in the power of perspective and innovation in game design.

“I still remember the first time I saw the prototype – it was short, raw, and absolutely unforgettable,” adds André Persson, CMO at Starbreeze. “We fell in love with the team’s creative vision and the emotional impact of their second-person concept. Out of Sight is the kind of project that reminds us why we love games: it’s inventive, personal, and made with heart. We knew we had to help bring it to life.”

In Out of Sight you’ll encounter:

A Unique Perspective: Experience horror from a second-person point of view as you see through Teddy’s eyes and guide Sophie through the unknown.
Without Sight, but Not Without Hope: Solve puzzles and overcome terrifying obstacles using only sound, feel, and instinct.
A Mansion of Secrets: Piece together the chilling story buried within the mansion’s walls. Unravel its tragic past and uncover the events that turned it into a place of nightmares.
Psychological Discomfort: Not all is as it seems. The line between reality and illusion is razor-thin, and your senses may betray you.
Survival Above All: Avoid your relentless captors and uncover the secrets of your capture. Will you discover the truth and break free, or become a lost soul trapped forever?

Out of Sight is available now on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Steam VR, for $24.99/€24.99/£20.99.

Dust off your fishing boots because Fallout 76: Gone Fission launches on June 3. Available free for all Fallout 76 players, this fin-tastic update brings the highly anticipated, relaxing summer pastime to the Wasteland – fishing. Players can look forward to exploring places to cast out around Appalachia as well as a questline to secure their first Fishing Rod and a school of new in-game content and rewards.

Watch the trailer of the upcoming Season 21: Gone Fission here:

With this new update, anywhere players can swim, they can fish. Different bait, weather conditions, fishing rods, and locations will spawn new fish types, so anglers can try various combinations to hook a variety of catches—common fish, one of 12 prized Axolotls available each month, and Local Legends (the fish to write home about). Fish can be eaten to restore Health and Hunger, or converted into Fish Bits and cooked into recipes for additional effects. Players can also share a snack with Linda-Lee, the giant hermit crab of Fishermen’s Rest, to receive a Legendary item.

Casting out in tandem is Season 21: Gone Fission. This season comes with new fishing challenges, which when completed will reward players with fishing rod upgrades and scaly new C.A.M.P. items. Additional details on Season 21 can be found here.

Fallout 76: Gone Fission will be available on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 and 4 on June 3. Fallout 76 is also available on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra.
