Troy Baker, the voice actor leading the cast of virtually every major game of the last few years (Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, BioShock Infinite, Tales from the Borderlands, The Crew… the list goes on and on) has taken on a career-defining role: a slice of bread in Bossa Studios’ upcoming I am Bread, “the beautiful story of one slice of bread’s epic and emotional journey as it embarks upon a quest to become toasted.”

This new trailer, posted by GameSpot, features Baker’s narration as the eponymous bread, struggling to awkwardly work his way across the kitchen. Unfortunately, a disclaimer at the beginning warns that “just to be clear, Troy Baker is not in this game.” Instead this seems to be a promotional stunt. Regardless, the performance is a master class in baked goods acting from gaming’s leading man:

I am Bread is the next game from Surgeon Simulator developer Bossa Studios. The team once again drops players into a physics sandbox, only this time you’re a slice of bread flopping around someone’s house in your endless pursuit of toasty heat. I am Bread is available now in early access on Steam for Mac and Windows.

Every rumored video game console: Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 Pro and more

A PS5 sits on a table.

History would tell you that 2024 isn't a year where you should expect a lot of new game consoles. We're smack dab in the middle of a console generation and we've already seen the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S get upgrades during it. A wave of brand new consoles is likely four years away if the precedent set by previous generations holds up.

And yet, we're swimming in hardware rumors these days. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all have rumored systems in the works. On top of that, we're on the verge of an early second generation for portable PCs like the Steam Deck. Companies like Lenovo and Asus are also plotting follow-ups to their own devices. It's a lot to keep track of, with scattered reports sharing rumors about the status of each. To help you stay on top of the news, we've rounded up every major gaming device that's currently in the works. You can expect to see some -- if not all -- of these in the next year.
