Wahey, GTA 6 has finally gotten a trailer 2, and you can watch it here

GTA 6 has just gotten a second trailer. Yep, I repeat, trailer two is here, this is not a drill.

Of course, it does come after the game’s release was delayed last week. After all the speculation it might be pushed back and Rockstar sticking to that vague Fall release window for ages, GTA 6‘ll be dropping on May 26, 2026.

Watch on YouTube

You can check out our latest look at it above.

“We are very sorry that this is later than you expected,” Rockstar wrote in its Newswire post announcing the delay last week, “The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.

“With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.

This is a breaking story, so we’ll add more deets soon.

HoYoverse finally announces Honkai Star Rail x Fate release date with 5-star Archer and 5-star Saber – plus Archer is free

HoYoverse finally announced the Honkai Star Rail x Fate collaboration release date during the second HSR concert, including details about which characters will join the space game’s roster. HSR x Fate kicks off on July 11, 2025, in an event called Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail, and it adds two new 5-star characters from the Fate series to HSR’s list of playable characters.

One of them is Saber, a 5-star Destruction character with wind as her element. Saber, aka Artoria Pendragon, is one of Fate’s main characters and first debuted in 2004’s Fate/Stay Night. Saber will run for the usual length of time in a limited event banner. The second Fate character in HSR is Archer, another long-time favorite. Archer is a 5-star Hunt character with quantum as his element, and anyone who logs into Honkai Star Rail during Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail will get him for free.

HoYoverse said the free Archer giveaway will last through the end of Honkai Star Rail 3.6. Based on the game’s current update calendar, that’d be sometime in November 2025. Assuming the free Archer event is like the time HoYoverse gave Dr Ratio away, you’ll probably only need to be at the story’s beginning, at the point where you unlock the warp function.

Saber will have “exciting” interactions with the Trailblaze crew during the event’s associated story missions. Fate writer Kinoko Nasu penned the crossover event’s story, and artist Takashi Takeuchi created the Honkai Star Rail versions of Archer and Saber.

HoYoverse also teased a new Honkai game during the concert, though had no further information to share at the time.

If you’re just tuning in for Honkai Star Rail’s second anniversary, make sure to grab your free Ruan Mei or Luocha while the event lasts. Check out our HSR codes page for some freebies, too.

Wahey, Helldivers 2 players have finally stopped the Meridian death ball’s advance towards Super Earth, and the Illuminate have responded by rage quitting the war for now

Panic over. At least for now. Sort of. Fresh off of the news that Helldivers 2 is getting some fresh content in May, April’s closed with the Illuminate’s planet-eating death ball being stopped in its tracks – something players have been working towards for ages.

Yep, this is not a drill. The Illuminate have gone into hiding too. Take that, the colour purple! I’m sure this relative peace will last forever, and that “more exciting news to come” not long after the next Warbond won’t have a chance of kicking off more squid shenanigans.

If you take a glance at the Galactic War map right now on April 30, you’ll see no trace of the faction the divers have been going at it with on the reg for the past few months – there are only Automatons and Terminids left, because those two old foes will never totally die out. Though, as Arrowhead explained in its latest briefing, neither have the Illuminate.

“The Meridian Singularity has come to a halt,” this briefing reads, “The Illuminate have disappeared completely; Ministry of Defense analysts have concluded this is likely explained by too few remaining to present a significant threat. The enemy is likely attempting to evade detection in order to survive a second total annihilation.”

So, the big wormhole thing that was on its way to try and add the Helldivers’ home planet of Super Earth to the list of worlds it’s blown to smithereens has stopped in its tracks, and the squids have made a tactical retreat. Nice.

This is Helldivers 2 though, meaning the fighting’s never over and there’s still a fresh major order. “The Terminids and Automatons remain significant threats,” Arrowhead continued, “In the Illuminate’s final hours, they dealt significant damage to the defenses of multiple strategic sites across both battlefronts, granting the opportunity for our foes to capture formerly well-defended territory.” Damn. It can never be easy, can it.

So, players are now taking on the task of holding on those weakened sites – the planets Fenrir III, Turing, Claorell, Mastia, and Achernar Secundus. As of writing, the latter two are being battled for, while the first two are currently held by Super Earth with just over five days left on the order. So, by the time it runs its course, that next Warbond reveal on May 8 will be just around the corner.

Are you glad to see that the death ball has stopped rolling towards your Super loved ones? Let us know below!

Putting a 3D, Australian spin on Stardew Valley, Dinkum has finally hit 1.0

The cozy, rural life sim formula that the likes of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley have mastered continues to be the foundation for a steady stream of new games. All trying to tap into a more relaxing reality where fishing, farming, and flirting with your neighbors is all you have to worry about, they remain hugely popular. Dinkum, which puts an Australian spin on this core experience, has been building itself up in early access for quite some time now, but it’s now finally out in 1.0.

Just like Stardew Valley, Dinkum is the endeavor of just one developer – James Bendon – who’s been toiling away at the life game for many years. It launched in early access in 2022, but we were intrigued by it even earlier than that. It’s shown a lot of promise, and its 93% lifetime user score on Steam is a testament to that. So much promise, in fact, that Inzoi and Subnautica publisher Krafton has got behind it.

It’s set in a world inspired by Bendon’s homeland of Australia, so even though there are resources to gather, crops to grow, fish to net, and insects to catch, there will also be some typically dangerous Aussie animals to steer clear of. Or you can hunt and trap them, if you’ve got the right tools for the job.

Whereas Animal Crossing has you funneling repayments to a tight tanuki in your early hours, Dinkum gives you control of your town by not only letting you expand it to attract new residents, but charge them rent for staying there and earning a passive income alongside your farming, foraging, and other side hustles. Interior design fans will be pleased to hear that they’ll be catered for in Dinkum as well when it comes to home building and customization.

After years of updates, Dinkum has just received the biggest of them all – the update that pushes it into 1.0 – and it’s full of new features and improvements. The Creative Mode takes down pretty much all guardrails and restrictions, allowing you to free-build whatever you want, spawn in items, and change the time and weather. When it comes to putting guardrails back up so that you can make it a controlled co-op experience, there are loads of new island settings that will let you set custom permissions. The amount of stuff you can craft has also been expanded – Bendon says that you can now build two-seater planes that you can fly around your island and display cases for the bugs you catch.

Dinkum’s 1.0 update is now live, and if you want to try before you buy, a free Steam demo is available too.

Long-awaited The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn DLC finally gets a release date

The Division 2 fans have been waiting for the new Battle for Brooklyn DLC for quite some time. While there’ve been plenty of live service seasons and updates to keep players entertained, it’s been just over five years since the first story expansion landed. That’s made the setbacks and delays it experienced particularly painful, but soon, the wait comes to an end. The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn release date has been locked in.

Battle for Brooklyn has been pushed back a couple of times now – most recently, it was booted out of Ubisoft’s Year 6 roadmap for The Division 2 and pushed into the upcoming slate for Year 7. Taking players back to some new and familiar New York streets, all with an autumnal atmosphere, the co-op game‘s new expansion has been highly anticipated. Now we know much more about it, and while crisp blue skies, cascading brown leaves, and some relatively peaceful residents may make Battle for Brooklyn seem a bit tame at first, it’s anything but.

Those living at the Bridge settlement have done a pretty good job in rebuilding after the hurricane that ravaged New York in the previous expansion. But they’re still in need of protection, and that’s where you (and some notable characters like Theo Parnell, Agent Hoskins, and Dr. Jessica Kandel) come in.

Your main opposition in Battle of Brooklyn are the Cleaners, who have managed to mass-produce a lethal weapon that some endgame grinders will recognize from the Paradise Lost Incursion mission. Now all wielding the power of the Purple Flame, they can dish out lethal, fiery attacks that also stack on a new status effect, corrosion, which gradually lowers your max armor over time. The longer you stay in battle, the less armor capacity you’ll have when it comes to replenishing it.

Smart Cover also returns from The Division 1 as a reworked skill that will let you pick from either a Precision or Fortified variant, giving different benefits to anyone positioned behind the cover points. Precision Smart Cover provides buffs to weapon handling and damage and auto-reloads your guns after swapping, while Fortified Smart Cover grants you extra armor, resistances, and stagger immunity.

In its reveal stream for Battle of Brooklyn, creative director Yannick Banchereau says that the new DLC will give fans around six to ten hours of playtime – so it’s not a monster. However, there still seems to be plenty packed in, with four new Control Points, 12 overworld activities, eight Hunter Riddles, ten bounty locations, and a new collectible bounties set. As mentioned, we now know when this heavily delayed expansion will be launching.

The Division 2 Battle for Brooklyn DLC release date has been locked in for Tuesday, May 27.

The showcase for the new DLC also shared updates on Year 7 of The Division 2, which aims to massively improve the onboarding process for new players, add more depth to the endgame loop, and further expand its seasonal content offerings.
