Vintage Animation Shooter Mouse Gets New Gameplay Trailer And 2025 Release Window

A new gameplay trailer has been released for Tekken 8, with grizzly brown bear Kuma being the focus of this one. In the trailer, we first see Kuma lay into his long term rival and enemy, Paul Phoenix, before the fight changes to a one between Kuma and Panda. Kuma proposes to Panda with a salmon, gets rejected again, beats Panda up, and then declares he is getting married all giddy like. Not the sign of a healthy relationship.

Today Bethesda posted a recap of the year Starfield has had in the form of a few fun facts: in 2023 players visited a collective 1.9 billion planets, spent 26 million hours building ships, and ate more than 18 million battlemeal multipacks. (Weirdly, no sandwich tally was provided.)

The Tekken 8 hype continues with Bandai Namco releasing a brand new character trailer, this time for Shaheen. As one of the newer fighters in the series, he debuted in Tekken 7 and wants to avenge his friend who died at the hands of G Corporation, headed by Kazuya Mishima. Check out his moves below.

Bandai Namco put all their chips on the table with Tekken 7. They wanted to ensure that it felt like a meaningful entry in their long-running story and one with the best game mechanics they’d ever produced. To that end, not only was the title a success, but many considered it a new benchmark in how player freedom is handled in the game. Fast forward to now, and we’re only a little over a month away from the release of Tekken 8. The game will try to push things even further, and a new story trailer highlights the upcoming struggle that will consume the world.

A year or two ago I interviewed an actual, practising witch, the wonderful Damien Crawford of Purgatory Dungeoneer fame, about how videogames represent magic. I badly need Crawford's thoughts on Emberstorm Entertainment's Reka, published by Fireshine Games, which has just been slapped with a Steam early access release window of Q2 2024.
