Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026. The Steam page describes the game:

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy.  

The Empire’s grip on the galaxy has finally broken, and with its fall comes a new obsession: speed. As the New Republic struggles to rebuild, gambling, entertainment, and glory fuel a booming underground.  

Out of this chaos, The Galactic League is born: an unsanctioned racing circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes are won and lost in seconds, and only the bold survive. 

No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.  

Slam, shunt, and takedown rivals across varied circuits where no two runs play the same. The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Join The Galactic League – an unsanctioned racing circuit born in the lawless Outer Rim. Become Shade, a lone racer chasing revenge and glory. 

Pilot different classes of repulsorcraft each with distinct physics and playstyles. Build a ride that showcases your style and gives you a competitive edge.

metal gear solid master collection vol 2

Konami has announced Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, the follow-up to 2023’s Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, will be heading to Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on August 27. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 puts together Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel together into one package for players to experience.

For many reasons, this release is a huge deal for Metal Gear fans. Before Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, the only platform Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was ever released on was PlayStation 3, where it has remained since launch.

Last year, Konami released Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. In our 4.5/5 review, we wrote, “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the definitive way to experience one of the best games in a series known for its excellence. Some technical issues can mar the overall package, but there is no denying how much work has gone into this remake.”

Here’s an overview of Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, via Ubisoft and PlayStation Blog:

The platforming adventure will take you through colorful, magical worlds, including the Dream Forest (and its memorable mosquito ride) and the musical chaos of the Band Lands.

Celebrating three decades of Ubisoft’s legendary mascot, this definitive edition lets you play multiple versions of the 1995 game, including the handheld adaptations reformatted for the PlayStation 5. You can also take on 120 additional levels pulled from the bonus level packs Rayman’s New Levels, Rayman 60 Levels, and Rayman by His Fans. It includes a faithfully reimagined soundtrack by composer Christophe Héral, as well as optional enhanced gameplay features that change up the classic gameplay, such as a 60-second rewind, multiple save slots, instant level unlock and infinite lives. As an added bonus, Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition will include a never-before-playable prototype, giving you an inside look at how Rayman’s gameplay was developed.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition will also include an exclusive interactive documentary, offering fans a glimpse into the untold story of Rayman with over 50 minutes of new interviews with the original developers, rare concept art, early sketches, and design documents that show how the limbless hero came to be. Dive into 30 years of Rayman in Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition when it launches digitally on February 13 for PlayStation 5, with the physical edition available in June 2026 in select regions, subject to availability.

Previously, Ubisoft Milan and Ubisoft Montpellier announced that they’re working on “the future of Rayman,” with a video message from brand producer Loic Gounon being released to celebrate Rayman’s 30th anniversary. The announcement backed up rumors that a Rayman remake entered development after the Ubisoft Milan and Montpellier teams began an “exploration phase” for the Rayman brand.

In the meantime, Ubisoft’s Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Tonic Trouble are available now on the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics app for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

Kena: Scars of Kosmora Announced for PlayStation 5 and PC

PlayStation and Ember Lab have announced Kena: Scars of Kosmora, a new entry in the Kena franchise that started in 2021. The game will release in 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. 

In a new PlayStation Blog post, Josh Grier, the co-founder of Ember Lab said the following: “After releasing Kena: Bridge of Spirits, we took some time to figure out what we wanted to create next. We explored ideas that could capture the heart of what made Kena special while building on everything we’d learned along the way. When we began thinking about returning to her world, we were drawn to the idea of Kena as a more experienced Spirit Guide who could use her skills to help the living, not just those who had passed on.”

Check out the debut trailer for Kena: Scars of Kosmora below:

Lastly, the trailer’s description describes the game as follows:

Kena: Scars of Kosmora expands the action, adventure & combat of its award-winning predecessor as the player traverses a vibrant island filled with buried secrets, wandering spirits, epic bosses, and distinct cultures.

Kena, now an accomplished Spirit Guide, travels to the mysterious island of Kosmora seeking a cure for her affliction and to reconnect with a friend from her past. There, she is confronted by a powerful corruption that fractures her staff. Needing it to survive, Kena must accept Kosmora’s forgotten and dangerous form of Spirit Guiding that manipulates the elements. On her journey, Kena discovers and nurtures memorable spirit companions – whose powers she will harness to solve puzzles and defeat enemies using new elemental abilities.

This collection combines both games with a unified art style and presentation while smoothing out the plot to create a cohesive whole. This game is very different from its original versions, so if you were a fan of those don’t expect the same presentation or puzzles.”
