Avengers: War For Wakanda gets a new trailer, but no release date

The latest free update for Marvel’s Avengers, War For Wakanda, got a new trailer during Square Enix’s presentation at E3 this year. While the trailer didn’t reveal a release date for the expansion, it did go over what enemies players can expect to go up against in Wakanda.

In War For Wakanda, players will travel to the hidden kingdom to help Black Panther protect his city, and its stores of Vibranium, from AIM and its partner-in-crime, Klaw. The Avengers are called in once these forces prove too much for Black Panther to handle on his own.

The expansion will highlight Wakanda and explore Black Panther’s own story, but beyond that, it’s not entirely clear what kinds of missions or bosses will be added to Marvel’s Avengers with this expansion. A blog post from March did clarify that the War For Wakanda DLC would add new enemy types and include a power level increase.

The developers behind inZOI announced a 2025 early access release date on Thursday despite assurances that the hyper-realistic life sim would still launch sometime this year.

Game producer and director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim posted an open letter to the community on the inZOI Discord saying that the game will be coming out on March 28, 2025, instead of in late 2024 so that the developers can give the game "the best possible start."

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more
The prince kicks a sand monster.

Many people consider the peak of the Prince of Persia games the Sands of Time trilogy on the PlayStation 2 generation These include Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. After these games, the series only had two notable console releases, but neither really captured the same amount of acclaim as the prior trilogy.

After being essentially transformed into the Assassin's Creed series, many people thought the Prince of Persia franchise was dead and buried. However, Ubisoft isn't a publisher to let a franchise die and announced the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in 2020. Obviously, things have not gone to plan with this remake as we still don't have our hands on it. If you're curious what is going on with the Prince, we will rewind time to tell you the entire story.

Ghost of Yotei: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more
A samurai stares at a mountain.

Ghost of Tsushima was an outstanding game to end the PS4 generation with. Sucker Punch chose to pivot to a new IP far divorced from its past Infamous or Sly Cooper games and focus on a more grounded and historically influenced game about the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushima. Naturally, we all expected a continuation of the story since that was just one small component of that conflict. Indeed a sequel will be an upcoming video game, but not in the way we all expected. Ghost of Yotei has been revealed and is making some big changes, but also holding true to what Sucker Punch believes to be the core of the series. Similar to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Marvel's Wolverine, we have a lot left to discover about this new game. Let's follow the wind together to find out all we can about this upcoming PS5 game.

There's a chance Ghost of Yotei will also be an upcoming PC game, but you won't find it on a list of upcoming Xbox Series X games or upcoming Switch games.
