Lara Croft and friends raid The Temple of Osiris on December 9

By

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, the sequel to 2010’s Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light that Square Enix revealed E3 2014, will be arriving on December 9 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

You can play the top-down action adventure solo as Lara (voiced by Keeley Hawes from the fantastic 2013 Tomb Raider reboot), or co-op with up to four players, taking the roles of fellow explorer Carter Bell and the Egyptian gods Horus and Isis. True to the spirit of the franchise, gameplay will be split between explosive action and head-scratching puzzles as you delve into the titular temple and seek to uncover its mysteries.

Star Wars Zero Company

Star Wars: Zero Company has been officially unveiled at Star Wars Celebration Japan and will launch sometime in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The game combines the gritty tactics of XCOM with the rich lore of the Star Wars universe. Set among the final period of the Clone Wars, Zero Company doesn't shy away from punishing difficulty but also aims to introduce new players to the tactics genre.

“Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “It’s our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation.”

Assassin’s Creed Shadows appears to have been rated for the Nintendo Switch 2

The Pan European Game Information website, better known as PEGI, just rated Assassin's Creed Shadows for the Nintendo Switch 2 — and that's a pretty solid indication the game could make its way to the console either at or after its June 5 launch. That said, it's also possible that someone simply clicked the wrong checkbox on the backend of the site and that Ubisoft has no intention of porting the game to the Switch 2, so take this with a grain of salt.

Star Wars in Fortnite

Fortnite's next Battle Pass is Star Wars themed (and appropriately dubbed Galactic Battle), and it will be here in less than two weeks on May 2. It also adds Darth Jar Jar, so get ready for a lot of "mesa winner" jokes in the near future. The news broke during Star Wars Celebration and included a lot of details about what the new additions might bring, including adding Force Lightning as an in-game ability.

Besides Death Jar Jar, other skins like Emperor Palpatine can also be unlocked through the Battle Pass. In addition, there are mashups with existing Fortnite characters like the Wookie Cuddle Team Leader (who doesn't want to cuddle a Wookie?) and more. Players can purchase a Mace Windu skin through the Item Shop and also utilize new vehicles like the TIE Fighter and X-Wing.
