Assassin's Creed
Ubisoft says Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is rebuilding Edward Kenway's ground gameplay with manual jump, advanced parkour and a stealth system that gives players more freedom.
Steam
Gamble With Your Friends has passed 500,000 copies in three days, according to TENSTACK, while the co-op casino crawler has moved into Steam's top 50 most-played games after launch.
ARC Raiders
An unverified ARC Raiders datamine lists clans, trading and a new Frozen Trail map among possible future additions. Embark Studios has not announced its post-Riven Tides roadmap, so the leak should be treated cautiously.
Conan Exiles
Conan Exiles Enhanced is now live on Steam as a free Unreal Engine 5 upgrade. The update improves visuals and performance, connects The Exiled Lands with The Isle of Siptah and adds a revamped UI.
The Crew
The Crew Motorfest's RC Frenzy playlist launches May 6, adding remote-controlled cars, a new handling model and top-down events to Ubisoft's live racing game.
Myst
Cyan's modern remakes of Myst and Riven are coming to PS5 and PS VR2 on May 19. Both games support flatscreen and VR play, PS5 Pro enhancements and $34.99 pricing.
Xbox Series X|SXbox Game Pass
Phasmophobia's Player Character Update introduces avatar customisation for the first time, alongside visible bodies, readable teammate equipment and new death animations. Kinetic Games says the overhaul is part of the co-op horror game's road to 1.0 this year.
Multi-platform
MOTORSLICE is available now on Xbox Game Pass, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Regular Studio's launch trailer puts the spotlight on a chainsaw parkour game about tearing through a brutalist megastructure.
Pokemon
Nintendo is launching a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Pokémon Pokopia in Australia and New Zealand on June 5. The regional package appears to include a download code rather than a special-edition console design.
Horizon
Horizon Hunters Gathering is getting a second closed playtest from May 22 to 25 on PS5 and PC. The test adds two new Hunters, a playable Episode and the Breakers' Bounty region.
Industry
GameStop has submitted a non-binding proposal to buy eBay for $125 per share in cash and stock. eBay says its board will review the offer and shareholders do not need to act yet.
Super Smash Bros
A new claim from Kiwi Talkz says another Super Smash Bros. project could arrive within the next two years. Nintendo has not announced a new Smash game, so the 2027 or 2028 window remains firmly in rumour territory.
