Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover politely asks your help in saving the world in this new trailer

During the summer and autumn 1940, on a damp little island, a battle was fought that changed the course of the world. For more than four months, the outnumbered British forces fought a technically superior and battle trained enemy that had rolled over the rest of Europe in a matter of months. At stake was nothing less than the fate of the world, and in one of the most incredible cases of heroism and bravery known to the world, the British not only held their ground, they pushed back the Nazi’s Luftwaffe. Pretty awesome stuff.

In the upcoming Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover, you take to the air during the Battle of Britain in a game that developer 1C: Maddox Games is considering a spiritual successor to Il-2 Sturmovik 1946.

The game features over two dozen Allied and Axis aircraft, and a staggering 128-player online battles. Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover is already available in Europe, but check out the trailer and look for it to hit American shores on April 19.

Sonic Dream Team’s next free update adds a new zone and ranking system
Sonic swings on a bar in Sonic Dream Team.

Sonic Dream Team is getting a significant free update on Wednesday, April 17, that will add more levels and a ranking system. The update for the Apple Arcade exclusive comes on the heels of layoffs at developer Sega Hardlight, which was impacted by a recent restructure at Sega.

Sonic Dream Team launched as part of Apple’s iOS game subscription service in December. Though it’s only garnered a handful of critical reviews since then, including a positive one from Digital Trends, the platformer has received positive praise from Sonic fans (it currently has an 8.8 user rating on Metacritic). This week’s update is Sega Hardlight’s biggest content drop for the title.

This satisfying $7 mobile puzzle game is money well spent
A box in Boxes: Lost Fragments has an octopus on it.

If you're looking for a new mobile game that'll keep your hands busy and you have $7 to spare, Boxes: Lost Fragments is money well spent.

Developed by Big Loop Studios, Boxes: Lost Fragments is a moody puzzle game where players are tasked with opening 20 intricately designed, themed puzzle boxes, all while unearthing a creepy gothic narrative. If that sounds a lot like The Room series, it is. You can either read Boxes as a total ripoff or a respectful homage, but one thing is certain in either case: It's extremely satisfying.

The PS5 Pro may be coming even sooner than we thought
Two versions of the PS5 next to each other.

An enhanced PlayStation 5, colloquially known as the PS5 Pro, is all but officially confirmed now, with a new report revealing that dev kits for the enhanced console are in the hands of developers and that Sony wants games for it ready by August.

Last month, internal documents revealing the specs of the PS5 Pro leaked. It won't offer a massive leap in power, but it will have a better GPU and some new machine learning technologies, and it should make things like ray tracing and stable frame rates much more possible with games made for the PS5. On Monday morning, The Verge released a report affirming the leaked specs and confirming that PS5 Pro dev kits are now in the hands of more developers.
