Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus charges into this year’s Warhammer Skulls event, bringing forth the Emperor’s most elite defenders.

He is a living bulwark of the Emperor’s wrath.

Now is the time to return to the front. Whether you are a battle-scarred veteran or a lapsed servant of the Throne, the war calls once more. This summer, the fires of conflict burn hotter than ever as Tacticus marches toward its third anniversary. Stand ready. Glory awaits those who survive.

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.

Out of Sight Launches Today on PC, Consoles, and VR

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.

Fallout 76: Gone Fission Launch Trailer Released

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.

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.

Logitech G Unveils G522 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and a leading innovator of gaming and sim racing technologies and gear, today announced the launch of the Logitech G522 Gaming Headset, a new addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.

Logitech G announces the new Logitech G522 Gaming Headset, an addition to its award-winning G5 series, designed to elevate both gameplay and personal expression.

“G522 was made for gamers who bring passion and personality to everything they do,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. “Whether you’re climbing the ranks, streaming for your audience, or pulling all-night gaming sessions, the G522 ups your game with top-tier performance, features, and style.”

G522 builds on the strong foundation of the widely popular Logitech G733 headset, carrying its legacy further while introducing an exciting evolution. At first glance, the family resemblance is clear, but as you look closer, the G522 reveals a fresh, elevated design. It’s all about progression – sleeker curves, a more sophisticated silhouette, and thoughtful design choices that reflect a modern take on performance and style. The sharper edges of the G733 have been transitioned into smooth, flowing lines showcasing a refined aesthetic.

“The G522 headset is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and a relentless attention to detail, every element is intentionally designed to deliver a curated, premium experience,” said Ahmed Riaz, Head of Design at Logitech G. “It builds on a proven formula for success that’s become synonymous with our G5 Series products, combining precision engineering with a deep understanding of what today’s gamers value most.”

G5 Series gamers play a wide variety of games. As a result, the new G522 headset had to perform to the level of the most discerning core gamers and be flexible enough to work seamlessly across all genres and types of gameplay.

Designed for long sessions, G522 delivers a significant leap forward in comfort, engineered with community feedback at its core. The ear cups have been redesigned with a wider shape and an added layer of memory foam to enhance cushioning and cooling, wrapped in a new fabric that’s both softer and more durable. A reversible suspension band now rests flatter and more evenly across the head, with added ridges to increase breathability and upgraded materials for extended durability. To ensure all-day comfort for every gamer, our player fit tests included individuals who wear glasses or earrings, making the G522 a headset built for everyone.

At the heart of the headset are new synchronized PRO-G drivers that deliver Logitech G’s highest-fidelity, paired with 48 kHz/24-bit digital signal processing for unparalleled immersion and precision. Gamers can hear subtle in-game cues—like distant footsteps or weapon reloads—with crystal clarity.

Communication is critical in competitive and online play, and the G522’s 48 kHz/16-bit microphone, enhanced by BLUE VO!CE technology ensures your voice cuts through the chaos. Customize your microphone audio with real-time filters and effects, delivering a professional sound for every session.

The G522 offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing seamless switching between LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C. It’s built for fluid transitions between platforms, PC, console, and mobile, without the lag or hassle.

G HUB software and the Logitech G mobile app allow gamers to fine-tune their audio with a 10-band EQ, personalize LIGHTSYNC RGB, adjust mic settings, and save up to three custom profiles directly to the headset.

Continuing Logitech G’s commitment to reducing environmental impact, the G522 is crafted with 27% post-consumer recycled plastic and low-carbon aluminum, aligning performance with purpose.

Availability

The Logitech G522 Gaming Headset is available now in black and white at LogitechG.com and select retailers worldwide for a suggested retail price of USD 159.99.
