Check out our Murdered: Soul Suspect review.

Square Enix and Airtight Games have confirmed the release date for Murdered: Soul Suspect. The action-adventure mystery game will debut on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on June 3.

In Murdered, you play Detective Ronan O’Connor, fresh off being… well, murdered. While it might seem somewhat limiting to play as a corpse, that is just the start. You take control of O’Connor’s spirit and attempt to solve your own homicide using newly acquired spectral powers. Along the way, you’ll also come in contact with demonic creatures that want your soul for their own reasons, none of which are likely to be good.

We saw the game back at E3 2013 and were intrigued by some of the original ideas on display, but there was no sense of when the game would actually debut. In February the publisher confirmed that it would be released in 2014, but that was as detailed as Square Enix was willing to get.

When the game hits on June 3, it will be released on current and next-gen system, with a cheaper price on the PS3, Xbox 360, and on PC. The game will cost $49.99 on those systems, and $59.99 on the PS4 and Xbox One.

Check out the screenshots and trailer below to get a better sense of the game.

The Elder Scrolls 6: release date speculation, rumors, news, and more

The Elder Scrolls

The Elder Scrolls 6 was first revealed over five years ago with a 36-second announcement trailer. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of concrete news on the title since.

Now that Bethesda has launched Starfield — the developer's first brand-new IP in 25 years — with great success despite plenty of criticism on the game's advertised scale versus its gameplay, it goes without saying that the studio will be shifting to the next installment in the Elder Scrolls series. The new title will be building off the wild success of its predecessor Skyrim (which made the cut for Digital Trends' top 50 video games of all time) and MMO The Elder Scrolls Online.

There are few cozy games as successful and beloved as Stardew Valley, so it's no wonder it has received regular updates since its 2016 release. If you're a fan of the game, you've no doubt been looking forward to its new 1.6 update, which brings some pretty substantial changes and bug fixes to improve the gameplay experience. Unfortunately for some players, the update has only released on PC so far, meaning console players have been left wondering when they'll get an opportunity to see all of the fresh changes in the game. Here's what we know so far about when the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is coming to consoles.
When is Stardew Valley update 1.6 coming to consoles?
Unfortunately, we don't have an immediate answer regarding when Stardew Valley update 1.6 will land on consoles, though we do know it's on the way in the near future. In a social media post on April 26, developer ConcernedApe gave a minor update on the console versions of the newest update, saying, "Console and mobile ports are still in progress, thank you again for your continued patience!" This doesn't answer much, but it should at least give console players the peace of mind that the update is still headed their way and will be available as soon as possible.

In the meantime, you can check out Stardew Valley's 1.6 patch notes to see everything new in the update, which includes a wide variety of bug fixes, translation changes, and gameplay improvements that should make most players happy.
