Bandai Namco has revealed its roadmap for Tekken 8 throughout the rest of 2024, including the game’s second DLC character, new story, and plenty more.
The Helldivers 2 dev asked players about its new Warbond and worst guns, and after 25,000 responses folks overwhelmingly agree that they both need a little something

The official Helldivers 2 Discord server recently set up a poll channel to gauge players' opinions on various updates and features, and after seven hours its inaugural polls indicate that the game's community hopes to see a little more oomph from its Warbonds and marksman rifles.
At 4:47am ET on April 12, community manager Baskinator published a poll asking, "What do you think about Marksman Rifles in Helldivers 2?" Bear in mind, this comes on the heels of a new marksman rifle that's so bad it almost feels like the bots are telling us to use it so we lose ground. Here's how the responses are looking at the time of writing, with 26,757 votes:
In a separate poll released at 7:21am ET the same day, Baskinator asked, "How do you feel about the new Democratic Detonation Warbond?" The current 24,800 responses are similarly, but less extremely skewed:
The obvious caveat here is that, even though 25,000 players is nothing to sneeze at, this is a small sample size relative to the millions of people who've played Helldivers 2. The game's official Discord is also likely to attract more dedicated and hardcore players whose opinions may differ from your average user, so these responses may not reflect the whole community's feelings.
That being said, this is still a statistically valuable set of responses, and there's a consistent tone to the polls. There were a few thousand fewer responses when I first glanced at the Discord, but the percentages have remained almost exactly the same. Anecdotally, the polls also line up with feedback and discussions I've seen rise to the top of Reddit and other social media.
Most people really don't seem to like marksman rifles, and many players were hoping for something a little more thematically exciting from the Helldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbond (some annoying bugs with the new stuff haven't helped reception either, I'm sure). It'll be interesting to see if and when we see changes, either to existing content or future content like the next Warbond, based on these player trends.
The secret to Helldivers 2's success? The Last of Us and God of War designer points to immersive element "I don't see people talking about enough."

Stellar Blade’s Extensive New Game+ to Offer 34 Exclusive Outfits, New Skills, and More
In recent years, it’s become common for AAA games to hold back their New Game+ modes, often rolling them out as part of a “big update” weeks or months after launch. Well, apparently, that won’t be the case with the upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade, which will have New Game+ available from launch, and it sounds pretty meaty. In addition to tackling the game at a higher difficulty, players can look forward to learning new skills and earning a bunch of NG+ exclusive outfits for Eve (a hefty 34 all!) We have more details about NG+ below, but first, check out Stellar Blade’s stylish launch trailer.

Mattel Has Shrunk Barbie Down To Size For Its New Mini BarbieLand Collection
It feels a little odd to say Barbie is back as the iconic doll never really went away. Introduced to the world in 1959, people have been playing with and collecting Barbies ever since. There's no doubting the spotlight Barbie was thrust back into in 2023 thanks to her first live action movie though, and naturally, Mattel has been trying to ride that wave ever since. The latest manifestation of that is a brand new Barbie collection dubbed Mini BarbieLand which has shrunk Barbie, her friends, and the world around her down to a far smaller size.

The Ultimate Crossover: Sand Land Snags Sandstorm by Darude in Its New Story Trailer | Push Square
In what is a frankly unbelievable move, Bandai Namco has managed to secure iconic — and heavily memed — 2000 trance track 'Sandstorm' for its new Sand Land trailer. Honestly, it fits quite well, but we're still in disbelief that the marketing team actually went and got this done. We can only assume that Darude, the original DJ behind Sandstorm, is a massive, diehard fan of the manga and anime property. A dream come true, we're sure.
