Helldivers, we have entered the unknown at last to face the unthinkable. Our elite peacekeepers are looking into the corruption and shining Liberty’s light onto the heart of darkness. The Gateway is constructed and we have crossed into the new frontier.

The Illuminate may have broken through but Super Earth will push back. Now is the time to mount the counteroffensive! You must work together to destroy their unnatural mutations in the name of Managed Democracy.


The Gateway is now open

During the ‘Census Thunder’ campaign, the Helldivers secured large reserves of Voteless tissue samples from the Void to aid in the study of this menace. Super Earth’s Ministry of Science determined a way into the Void by opening and stabilizing a wormhole on Rirga Bay using the research you helped secure: the Gateway is now open....

Hi everyone, my name is Evgeny Maloshenkov, and I’m responsible for creature design at Frogwares, the team behind The Sinking City 2.

When we started working on the sequel back in 2023, we knew we wanted to take the series in a new direction. The original The Sinking City was an open-world Lovecraftian detective adventure. But for the sequel, we went full force into semi-open-world survival horror, putting a much greater emphasis on combat, exploration, and survival, and of course, all still wrapped in that Lovecraft gloom.

It’s been a big week for fans of Marvel’s Wolverine, starting with the announcement of sharp-looking PS5 hardware and accessories. Now, with just over a month away until its September 15 launch, Insomniac is sharing a deep dive on the game’s story, combat, and exploration thanks to an extensive hands-on session with the game.

Our two-hour session kicked off with the game’s opening mission in the wilds of Telambang, where Wolverine has reunited with Team X to carry out a critical mission infiltrating the facility of anti-mutant industrialist Bolivar Trask. After slicing our way to a daring rescue, we jumped ahead in the game to a bombastic boss fight and a taste of Madripoor’s Lowtown. Between brutal barrages, stealthy scouting, and a range of rage-filled takedowns, we got to cut...
