video game,star wars video gamesHalo Infinite Brings Back Beloved Co-Op Mode

If you have pleasant memories of blasting the Covenant round after round with your buddies in Halo's Firefight, we've got good news for you. A recent update to Halo Infinite has introduced old-school Firefight back into the game, a mode that was first introduced in Halo 3: ODST.

Titled "Firefight Classic," it's a round-based mode where you and three squadmates team up to take out endless waves of enemies. This version of the classic mode features rounds of five waves each, with three rounds adding up to a "set." Your team shares a pool of seven lives, and when they're all used up, you're done for.

video game,star wars video gamesTomb Raider Colossal Collection - Preorder 1,800-Plus Pages Of Classic Comics

Late last year, Dark Horse unveiled plans to reissue Top Cow's Tomb Raider comic book series, which originally ran from 1999 to 2005. Tomb Raider Colossal Collection Volume 1 is slated to release June 24 and currently priced at $93 (was $100) at Amazon. The 888-page hardcover book has been available to preorder since November, but now you can also preorder the even larger second volume. Tomb Raider Colossal Collection Volume 2 is 944 pages and up for preorder for $100 ahead of its November 25 release.

If you buy both volumes, you'll have a nearly comprehensive collection of Tomb Raider: The Series, which ran for 50 issues. Volume 2 also contains comics from Top Cow's follow-up series as well as a handful of one-shots. In total, you're looking at more than 1,800 pages of comic stories starring Lara Croft.

Tomb Raider Colossal Collection: Volume 1

$93 (was $100) | Releases June 24

Top Cow's Tomb Raider comics have long been out of print, and the older "Archive" editions fetch an astronomical sum on the reseller market, often going for hundreds of dollars each.

Volume 1 compiles the following comics:

• Tomb Raider: The Series - Issues 1-24 and 26-34

In case you're wondering, Issue 25 saw Lara Croft team up with Witchblade. Tomb Raider was licensed to Top Cow at the time, and with the rights lapsed, it's likely that there were probably a few legal issues that made it easier to omit that particular comic book rather than include it.

Volume 2 of Dark Horse's Tomb Raider Colossal Collection finishes Lara Croft's first comic book arc with Issues 35-50. It also includes the two prequel comics.

After you finish reading Tomb Raider: The Series, you can dive into. Tomb Raider: Journeys. Volume 2 contains all 12 issues of Top Cow's miniseries. Five Tomb Raider one-shots round out the hardcover collection.

Here's a full list of what's included in Volume 2:

• Tomb Raider: The Series - Issues 0, 1/2, and 35-50
• Tomb Raider: Journeys - Issues 1-12
• Tomb Raider one-shots:
  • The Greatest Treasure of All
  • Arabian Nights
  • Origins
  • Takeover
  • Epiphany

Top Cow's Tomb Raider comics released when the franchise was in its heyday, so they were quite popular at the time. The comics are set in the same continuity as the games developed by Core Design, making a few tweaks to Lara Croft's story along the way. A pretty talented roster of artists and writers were involved in this series, including Dan Jurgens, Adam Hughes, Michael Turner, Andy Park, Marc Silvestri, David Finch, and several others.

video game,star wars video gamesXbox-Branded Handheld Planned For Later This Year - Report

There could be an official Xbox-branded handheld out by the end of this year. A new report states that Microsoft is partnering with a PC gaming company, like ASUS or Lenovo, on the device, with a targeted launch in 2025.

According to WindowsCentral, the handheld is codenamed Keenan and will be similar in nature to the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go S--which will be the first device outside the Steam Deck family to run on Valve's SteamOS. So, the Xbox-branded handheld will likely run on Windows, featuring the Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass. The report also states the system will likely sport an Xbox guide button and aesthetics that fit the Xbox ethos.

Interestingly enough, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer mentioned an Xbox handheld is a "few years out" in November. (Spencer, for his part, has teased making an Xbox handheld for a while now, too.) This longer-term plan lines up with the report of the next Xbox launching in 2027. Basically, Microsoft plans to kick off the next generation with a Xbox Series X successor accompanied by an internally developed handheld system.

video game,star wars video gamesDeath Stranding 2: On The Beach Introduces Its Own Solid Snake, Sort Of

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has an official June release date locked in, and judging by the new trailer, a few nods to the Metal Gear Solid series that Hideo Kojima worked on during his tenure at Konami. During the new look at the game, a character by the name of Neil--played by Italian actor Luca Marinelli--was introduced. While his dark past with the Bridges organization was teased, it's the brief moment where Neil dons a bandana that had Metal Gear Solid fans pointing at their screens:

Solid Snake, is that you?

Gallery

As seen in the image above, Neil looks remarkably similar to Solid Snake once he dresses up for a fight. Back in a 2020 Instagram post, Kojima mentioned that Marinelli would be the "spitting image" of Snake if he ever decided to wear the character's bandana, and it looks like that prediction has come true in Death Stranding 2.

What's also interesting to note here is that the character is flanked by several soldiers, similar to how Death Stranding's antagonist Clifford Unger would surround himself with troops whenever he appeared in the game. That suggests that Neil has died and has become a post-death entity, someone who finds himself driven to complete his unfinished business and can journey to battlefield beaches.

Sony and Kojima Productions have announced that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch on June 26 for PS5 for $70. Additionally, preorders for the game will start on March 17.

A lengthy 10-minute cinematic trailer was also released, showcasing the original song for the game called "To the Wilder" by the artist Woodkid. The trailer also has shots of the different actors playing the game's characters, including Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, George Miller, Troy Baker, Elle Fanning, Fatih Akin, Shioli Kutsuna, Alastair Duncan, Alissa Jung, Nicolas Winding Refn, Lucas Larinelli, and Deborah Wilson.

The end of the trailer, it shows a group of gunman with the narrator talking about how the United Cities of America's predecessor, the United States of America, had a prominent gun culture. It's possible that one of Death's Stranding 2's themes will be about America's culture and fascination with firearms.

video game,star wars video gamesThe Last Of Us Season 2's New Trailer Shows The Rift Between Joel And Ellie

It's fitting that the new trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 begins with Joel and Ellie at a physical distance, because there's an emotional gulf between them by the final scene shown. The upcoming season starts five years after Season 1, and Ellie doesn't know what Joel did to save her yet. Once she finds out, things are never going to be the same between them.

The latest trailer is light on context if you've never played The Last of Us Part II. But Joel and Ellie found some relative peace in the intervening years. That's coming to an end because their sanctuary isn't as safe as they believed, as both the infected and outside forces are in play. That includes the newly introduced Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), who will play a major role this season. The trailer also features an early look at Joe Pantoliano as Eugene, a character who was only hinted at in the game.

The Last of Us Season 2 panel is currently underway at SXSW, and it's being live-streamed on YouTube. Series stars Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Gabriel Luna are on hand with Season 2 newcomers Young Mazino, Isabela Merced, and Kaitlyn Dever. Showrunners and series co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann also joined the panel as they unveiled the new trailer for Season 2. You can watch the panel below.

Preorder 4K Blu-ray Preorder Blu-ray Preorder DVD

The Academy Award for Best Animated Feature is almost always awarded to a well-known blockbuster--often produced by Disney or Pixar--but this year an indie movie took home the top prize: Flow. If you are one of the many Oscar viewers who hasn't watched Flow, the animated adventure is getting a 4K Blu-ray release from The Criterion Collection later this year. A release date hasn't been set, but preorders are live at Amazon for a nice discount. The 4K Blu-ray version is actually cheaper than the standard Blu-ray right now, so you may want to secure your preorder while Amazon is offering this $15 discount.

Directed by Gints Zilbalodis and made with open-source software at a budget of roughly $4 million, Flow brought in over $20 million at the box office. Flow earned glowing praise from both critics and viewers, and it’s currently sitting with “Universal Acclaim” on Metacritic. What's even more impressive, though, is that Flow managed to topple several commercial hits from some of the biggest animated studios, including Dreamworks' The Wild Robot and Pixar's Inside Out 2, which is one of the top 10 highest-grossing movies ever at $1.7 billion.

video game,star wars video gamesThe Outlast Trials Dev Hints That PvP Features May Be On The Way

For a team like Red Barrels, finding success in making just one series for over a decade isn't easy. It seems especially difficult when you consider the series the team makes; Outlast is a gruesome, unflinching, taboo-shattering horror series, with gore, violence, and even nudity so beyond most other games that I'm sometimes amazed games in the series don't get Adult ratings.

I'll also add it's among my favorite horror series, though I didn't anticipate that would remain the case when The Outlast Trial was revealed years ago. As a four-player co-op take on the series' typical single-player horror stories, I felt like Outlast might lose some of its best features--the lonesome helplessness and intense situations where no one can save you. Last year, I wrote my Outlast Trials review, which helped me come to find I had misjudged the game previously. Today, it's become a regular in my rotation, and it's especially interesting to me, given it's essentially a live-service game from a studio new to that highly competitive scene.

With all of this context in mind, I was eager to speak to Red Barrels game director, Alex Charbonneau, so I could ask him his thoughts on these and other aspects of the game in advance of today's first anniversary since the game launched into its 1.0 state. Charbonneau spoke to the game's jaw-dropping depictions of violence and the problems that can sometimes present for its community. He also touched on how the community has helped shape the game, which originally had far less planned than what we've already seen come to the game just in its first year. Perhaps most intriguing is what he said about PvP coming to the game, which is currently PvE co-op only. Find all these details and more in GameSpot's interview below.

During its developer livestream on March 4, Bungie confirmed that Destiny 2's IO planet is coming back to the game. It will be the one of the locations where the new Heresy Act 2 activity, Court of Blades, will take place.

IO was sunset back in 2020 with the launch of Beyond Light to a critical response from players. In recent years, Bungie has also reprised formerly sunset planets including Mars, which was home to Savathun's Throne World, and Titan, where we rediscovered Sloane. This time around, IO's Remnants of Silver area will be the home of a new activity inspired by the roguelike elements that Bungie has been playing with in recent months.

The return of IO's Remnant of Silver area

IO is completely engulfed in Darkness, which Oryx, The Taken King, is desperately seeking out to regain power following his discovery that the Guardians were the ones to kill him. As he heads to IO, players will take part in the new Court of Blades activity and have direct interactions with him for the first time in years.

Despite Activision's efforts to curb cheating among some Call of Duty players, it remains an issue even in Black Ops. 6. But now, there's potentially cause for celebration among CoD fans as Phantom Overlay, one of the most prominent cheat developers, has announced that it is shutting down.

Via Game Rant, Phantom Overlay's Telegram channel states that it plans to "immediately" close its operations, with a caveat that it will remain online for at least another month to fulfill the 30-day keys that it has already sold players. Phantom Overlay went on to promise that anyone who bought lifetime keys would get a partial refund.

"This is not an exit scam and no external entity could ever compel me to exit scam my customers," wrote the creator of Phantom Overlay. "I'll keep everything updated, safe, and online for 32 days longer."

video game,star wars video gamesHow To Get The Best Monster Hunter Wilds Armor

Among all the options, we feel that the Guardian Ebony and Guardian Arkveld are the best armors in Monster Hunter Wilds. These are our picks for the Low Rank segment of the game, though you do need to spend several hours just to reach this part of the campaign. Our guide discusses everything you need to know about how to acquire these gear pieces.

• Monster Hunter Wilds best armor guide - Guardian Ebony and Guardian Arkveld set
  • Guardian Ebony armor set

Monster Hunter Wilds best armor guide - Guardian Ebony and Guardian Arkveld set

Both the Guardian Ebony and Guardian Arkveld armor sets can be yours fairly late into the campaign (roughly after a dozen hours or so of playing). Prior to this part, we suggest doing the following:

• Practicing a bit in the Training Area so you can determine the best weapons for your playstyle.
• Crafting early-game items that should help you for the first few hunts.

Guardian Ebony armor set

Eventually, you should reach the Ruins of Wyveria, where you'll get to battle Guardian-type monsters. The key factor that differentiates these beasts from their normal counterparts is that they can channel energy to heal/close their wounds. This means you need to be quick in destroying their wounds so you can cause as much damage and grab as many materials as possible.
