Today, 2K and Gearbox Software shared the Official Character Short for Harlowe the Gravitar, the final entry in an ongoing series about the four all-new Vault Hunters who are wreaking havoc on Kairos in Borderlands 4!

Harlowe is a former Maliwan combat scientist, driven by the need to understand how things work. While this initially made her an outcast amongst her Traunt relatives, Harlowe has used her intellect to bring new tech and gadgetry to the battlefield as a Vault Hunter. Harlowe’s brilliance is apparent in everything she does, but so is her enthusiasm and love for life. Harlowe brings everything to the fight, including her sunny disposition.

In Harlowe’s new Character Short “Family Reunion”, you can watch as Harlowe the Gravitar takes on the Maliwan corporation to reclaim technology she designed, and ends up encountering a Traunt family member in the process.

Borderlands 4 launches worldwide on September 12, 2025 via PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It will also be coming to Nintendo Switch™ 2 on October 3, 2025, and is now available for pre-order on all platforms!

Keen Games has revealed their seventh major content update for Enshrouded, titled Wake of the Water, as part of gamescom’s Opening Night Live. This next update brings the most fan-requested content element into the world of Enshrouded: water! Wake of the Water is anticipated to be released in October.

The addition of water quickly rose to the top of the Feature Upvote, the community request platform; however, implementing voxel-based water is incredibly challenging for the developers. More details on the upcoming Wake of the Water content update will be shared in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the trailer confirms the following features:

New water biome with a cool, tropical vibe for relaxing or terraforming in beach-side
Lizard-like enemy faction, looking like they need sunscreen
Two-handed weapon that puts the “great” in Greatsword
Voxel-based water simulation that can be used in building, for swimming in, fishing, aqueducting, more — and it doesn’t appear at all cube-like!

Keep palm, and carry on.

Squanch Games made their presence known at gamescom 2025, showing off a metric ton of all-new High On Life 2 stuff. And no, it wasn’t just a bunch of boss fights, smarty pants. The team gave select attendees a chance to play the gameplay demo, learn about the new cast of talking guns, and discover what makes High On Life 2 a worthy successor to its best-selling predecessor. PLUS, they announced its release date! It’s February 13, 2026, baby!

February 13 is special for several reasons: First, it’s Friday the 13th, which is obviously cool. AND, it’s Valentine’s Day Eve. Kick off everyone’s favorite holiday in style by blasting alien creeps to rescue your sister. Romantic … ? Anyway, High On Life 2 has a little something for everyone! Snuggle up with your sweetie in your matching gaming chairs, smooching and killing aliens while laughing your asses off! Or maybe sitting on the floor in your completely empty apartment alternating between squeals of pure joy and sobs of utter loneliness is more your style. Sounds great!

And yes, that date is for all the platforms – we’re talking Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC – day one on Game Pass! – PlayStation 5, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Absolutely everyone will be happy! Oh, if you’d like to see it elsewhere, please send us a devkit! Thx

High On Life 2 is set five years after the first game, where you’re reaping the rewards of being the most well-known bounty hunter in the universe after successfully saving humanity from being harvested as a smokable drug by a nefarious intergalactic cartel. You’re on your way to a celebrity-endorsement event when a new bounty alert pops up on the network – for your sister, Lizzie. She’s been busy, too, building up her reputation as a freedom fighter/terrorist, depending on your perspective. After some secret things happen, you’re now the bad guy. Fortunately, you’re armed with an arsenal of talking weapons, which are a mix of new and returning favorites including Knifey (Michael Cusack), Sweezy (Betsy Sodaro), Gus (JB Smoove), and, making his debut at gamescom, Sheath (Ralph Ineson).

This will make way more sense in mid-February, trust me!

Cronos: The New Dawn Gamescom Trailer

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

At Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Bloober Team unveiled a chilling new cinematic trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, and it’s absolutely steeped in atmosphere. The trailer opens from a cat’s-eye view — an eerie, ground-level perspective that turns the familiar into something surreal. As if the trailer wasn’t enough, The Traveler made a dramatic appearance on stage in full cosplay — stepping out of the void and into the spotlight, blurring the line between the game and reality.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game developed by the renowned horror studio Bloober Team, best known for the critically acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 Remake.

The game is built around a powerful, original narrative that unfolds in New Dawn – an abstract reinterpretation of the real Nowa Huta district in Kraków, Poland. The story is told across two contrasting timelines: a post-apocalyptic future and the gritty industrial reality of the 1980s. This unique setting blends retro realism with dystopian sci-fi and a retro futuristic atmosphere, creating a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and psychological depth.

At this year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, a stunning new cinematic trailer premiered on the main stage — featuring a surprise appearance by none other than The Traveler.

Watch The Cronos: The New Dawn – A New Breed Of Horror Trailer From Opening Night Live

The trailer immerses us in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, beginning with a mysterious sequence that follows the movements of a cat through the desolate landscape. From there, it transitions into cinematic shots of The Traveler – the game’s central figure – whose journey we’ll follow throughout the game. We’re shown gripping, high-stakes encounters as The Traveler faces off against The Orphans — terrifying creatures that haunt this broken world. All of this plays out against the haunting soundtrack of “Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust” by This Mortal Coil, heightening the sense of mystery and atmosphere.

Cronos: The New Dawn is scheduled for release on Sept. 5, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, PC (via Steam and Epic), and Switch 2.

Pre-order now on Steam, Epic, Gog.com, Microsoft Store, Nintendo and PlayStation. Players that preorder the Deluxe Edition get 48-hour early access starting Sept. 3.

Publisher of tabletop roleplaying games, wargames and board games, Modiphius Entertainment has today shared new illustrations to be featured in the eagerly awaited quest book for Fallout the Roleplaying Game, Royal Flush.

Available for pre-order from Wednesday 24th September, Royal Flush takes players back to New Vegas and the Mojave Wasteland, where they discover a plot to bring war back to the West. Starting in New Reno—a location originally in Fallout 2—players find a body in a ditch. Hired to find out what happened, the players enter the criminal underbelly of the city, and investigate the sudden boom in military grade firearms turning up in the hands of the least likely, and most bloodthirsty, groups in the area.

With so many bullets available, old tensions begin to rise. It is only a matter of time before that much firepower causes the entire Mojave to explode… unless someone does something about it. The quest book will give players the opportunity to visit New Vegas and explore a new region on the border of the Mojave: the Sierras.

The new artwork features brand new illustrations of the Mojave Wasteland, Hoover Dam, New Vegas, and The Strip, as well as new locations being explored by the tabletop RPG supplement, like Tahoe and Carson, commissioned by Modiphius Entertainment specifically for these new tabletop RPG quests.
