Developer and publisher Tribute Games (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge), in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, today revealed two new playable brawlers hitting the mean streets of Toronto in Scott Pilgrim EX, a retro-style adventure brawler that marks Scott Pilgrim’s first all-new video game in over 15 years. Scott Pilgrim EX’s battle for Toronto will launch on PC and consoles in early 2026. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2640950/Scott_Pilgrim_EX/

Joining Scott Pilgrim EX’s fight against the gangs that have taken over Toronto are two former enemies from the series’ iconic League of Evil Exes, the big brawler Lucas Lee and the tiny terror Roxie Richter, both done up in the unmistakable high-quality retro art style Tribute Games is known for. Lucas takes a break from Hollywood stardom to lay the smack down on any baddies standing in his way, with grappling prowess and a fully-weaponized skateboard (meaning he hits people with it). Roxie meanwhile brings her signature sword-slicing and dicing into the fray as a quick-hitting, speedy half-ninja, with a kit complete with smoke bombs and moves that turn her into a blender on the battlefield.

Watch Roxie and Lucas mop the floor with some of the goons who have laid claim to Toronto in Scott Pilgrim EX via a brand-new character reveal trailer here:

In Scott Pilgrim EX, members of Toronto’s coolest band, Sex Bob-omb, are kidnapped and their instruments stolen as the city is terrorized by demons, vegans and robots. Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and other unlikely allies including Lucas and Roxie must bash their way across the city, from its streets to its beaches and maybe even back in time to save the band, the city and the world. A total of seven playable fighters will be featured, with Scott and Ramona set to gain more confirmed allies ahead of Scott Pilgrim EX’s release.

Battle it out across a wild, video game warped Toronto with bursting colors and deep-cut Scott Pilgrim references, completing quests while defeating the gangs that rule over different parts of the city. Enemies can be dispatched with each character’s unique, upgradable toolkit, or with different items found in the game’s highly interactable environment, from baseball bats to demonic rods, turnips and more. Featuring a brand-new storyline co-written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and the team at Tribute Games, as well as all-new music from Scott Pilgrim alumni Anamanaguchi, Scott Pilgrim EX delivers a bold new chapter in the franchise for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Scott Pilgrim EX is expected to launch for PC and consoles in early 2026. Keep up with the latest from Tribute Games and Scott Pilgrim EX at https://linktr.ee/tributegames

KISS Ignites Metal Fest in World of Tanks Modern Armor

Metal Fest roars back into World of Tanks Modern Armor, and this year the spotlight is on the ultimate rock icons: KISS! The trailblazing performers bring their unmistakable rock sound and rebellious spirit to the game’s third annual Metal Fest, which kicks off on August 26 and runs through September 15. The in-game music event delivers an electrifying KISS-themed experience. Players can take on two thrilling challenges loaded with exclusive KISS-inspired rewards, try an all-new PvE mode on a specially designed map, enjoy daily gifts, and more.

Watch the Brand-New KISS x World of Tanks Modern Armor Trailer, Exclusively for Metal Fest 2025!

This year, Metal Fest rolls out four one-of-a-kind Premium tanks, each inspired by a classic KISS character: The Demon, The Starchild, The Spaceman, and The Catman. These machines bring pure KISS energy to the battlefield. The Demon wields a hellish flamethrower, The Starchild unloads fast-and-furious damage with a three-round autoloader, The Spaceman blasts in with rocket boosters to “fly” across the battlefield, and The Catman’s guns scratch and claw through enemies with lightning speed. As an encore, each KISS Premium tank will blast “Rock and Roll All Nite” when players select it in the garage.

“Metal Fest in World of Tanks Modern Armor is pure rock ’n’ roll mayhem,” said Gene Simmons, founding member of KISS. “We’re bringing fire, power, and pure adrenaline. When KISS shows up, you know it’s going to be epic.”

The KISS experience goes full throttle, way beyond the tanks. All four KISS personas come alive as fully animated 3D Hero Commanders, complete with custom voiceover. Gene Simmons powers The Demon, while Paul Stanley brings The Starchild to life. Players can also set up their favorite tanks and customizable garages with 2D Standard Commanders representing the band members as well as their fans, Emblems, Inscriptions, and themed Garage Gear, cranking up the energy around every match.

As Andy Dorizas, Art Director for World of Tanks Modern Armor, explains “All the designs for the Commanders were a group effort with a lot of input from KISS. It was my idea to give The Demon wings—something over the top that captured Gene’s persona while nodding to his iconic style. KISS pushed us to fully embrace the fantastical elements of each character. This is KISS reimagined for commanding tanks, each with a look unlike anything seen before.”

For the first time in its three-year history, Metal Fest is introducing an all-new “Rush the Stage” mode on a map designed especially for this event. The mode will run for two weeks, with players charging into battle in World War II tanks during the first week and Cold War tanks during the second. The objective is to capture three bases and destroy enemy tanks to earn points—the first team to reach 1,000 points wins and takes home great prizes! For those who prefer to play solo, a dedicated Personal Challenge will be available, offering a variety of exclusive KISS-branded rewards and discounts.

Players can also enjoy the 14 days of the Rock ‘n’ Rewards campaign and log in daily for a free gift from KISS.

Train Sim World 6 is coming! Following the initial reveal of the title in July, today Dovetail Games hosted the Dovetail Direct showcase, officially announcing all the shiny new trains, routes and features that train fans can look forward to when the game arrives. Train Sim World 6 launches on Sept. 30, 2025 (Sept. 25 for Deluxe/Special Edition pre-orders), for Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox systems and is available to pre-order now!

This year, players can “Expect the Unexpected” with a key new feature: the introduction of toggleable random events and train faults to ensure no two services ever feel the same. From signal delays to speed restrictions, players must stay alert to overcome unpredictable challenges. The game will guide players through resolving these unpredictable events, to get back under way and on to their destinations.

Continuing the “unexpected” theme are new routes and trains for the series. In the USA, it’s off to the east coast with NJ TRANSIT® through the New Jersey suburbs in both ageing and modern traction. UK players can experience the thrill of coastal running along the Riviera Line, often described as one of the most beautiful stretches of railway in Britain. This route also marks the long-awaited return of the GWR brand to the series. In Europe, players can drive beyond the horizon between Dresden and Leipzig, Europe’s largest railway station, with a full variety of freight, passenger, high-speed and shunting services available.

For the first time, brand-new trains will be available in the Deluxe Edition for all three routes: the much-requested CrossCountry Voyager, dual-power ALP-45 locomotive and hefty BR 294 shunter. The Special Edition includes all content from the Standard and Deluxe Editions, plus five back catalogue routes and their respective trains spanning a wider selection of countries, including Austria, the Netherlands and Wales.

Adding to the immersion is the full implementation of passenger and platform announcements, with station stops and train departures audibly declared in the three core routes.

Matt Peddlesden, Train Sim World 6’s Executive Producer, said, “We’ve been keen to listen to players in our recent surveys and feedback to give them the features and content they’ve been asking for. Random events and audible announcements have been at the top of their list for some time, and we can’t wait for players to experience them in new routes and trains that they’ve also been requesting.”

Players will be able to try Train Sim World 6 for free with the game’s Free Starter Pack, available from launch until November 11, 2025. This includes steam, diesel and electric locomotives within the Training Center demo route, along with tutorials and tasks to complete.

In addition, today’s showcase announced that the series will also be exploring new horizons with several future Train Sim World 6 add-ons, covering routes in new countries such as Portugal and Czechia, as well as a new route in the USA and a first look at gameplay for the Japanese Tadami Line. As usual, players will be able to bring their existing collection of routes and trains over to Train Sim World 6.

Publisher Owlcat Games — creators of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader — together with Alcon Interactive Group revealed a selection of new environments set to appear in the upcoming narrative-driven sci-fi action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. This title is set in the universe of the acclaimed TV series The Expanse, available on Blu-ray and streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

The video highlights a handful of key locations players will explore, from the industrial might of Pinkwater to the fragile ecosystems of Ganymede and the bustling corridors of Ceres Station.

“Every place in The Expanse tells a story,” says Alexander Mishulin, Creative Director at Owlcat Games. “When we recreate locations like Ganymede or Ceres, it’s not just about making them look authentic — it’s about capturing the struggles and hopes of the people who live there. That sense of survival and consequence is what we want players to feel as they move through the game.”

The Expanse is set in the future where humanity has colonized the solar system and the people of Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt have long been in opposition with one another. When the crew of the Rocinante uncovers an ancient alien technology, a vast conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will bring the solar system to the brink of war. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn expands the universe of the TV series and novels, putting players in the boots of a Pinkwater Security mercenary caught in the chaos of Eros Station’s deadly lockdown. From there, they’ll need to gather a crew, command a powerful ship, and carve their own path across a fractured solar system.

Key features of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn:

  • Create Your Own Captain: Play as an Earther, Martian, or Belter and take command of the system’s most advanced ship. Shape your journey through identity, leadership, and the pressure of survival.
  • Lead a Crew: Your companions are more than squadmates — they have pasts, motives, and a voice in your story. Your leadership decisions will determine how squadmate loyalty shifts under pressure.
  • Tactical Third-Person Combat: Implement real-time strategic cover mechanics using various abilities and squad coordination. Bring two companions into combat while others support from behind the scenes.
  • Explore a Divided Solar System: Travel across iconic locations from the TV show and books, like Ganymede, Ceres, Mars, and Luna. While traversing the various environments, players must uncover secrets and influence outcomes through their skills and decisions.
  • A Story-Driven RPG True to The Expanse: Immerse yourself in a narrative grounded in tension, consequence, and the complexity of humanity’s future among the stars.
