4. Respawn Rumored To Be Developing Dark Forces Styled Game

Outside of Star Wars movies, the one area that also feels lacking at times is Star Wars games. While Jedi Fallen Order has been one of the pinnacle games of the new era, there has still been a lacking in other genres of stories. However, that might soon change for reliable sources with reporter Bespin Bulletin have indicated that Respawn is making a first-person shooter Star Wars game in the same vein as Dark Forces.
Now Dark Forces for those who don’t know is an old FPS game introducing the famous character Kyle Katarn in the world of Star Wars. Like any typical FPS, you would go from base to base taking down Imperials and hunting objectives as part of a single-player campaign. Hopefully, this is a good sign for more story-driven games to come in the future. Perhaps this new game will give us another great video game character for us to love and admire.
The game will be using Unreal Engine 5, always exciting when a Star Wars game is looking its best and showing off unique and diverse worlds.
As a wise Jedi Master once said, the always in motion the future is and so is the future of Star Wars Games. Hopefully though will be able to expand our genre of games beyond just a typical Jedi Adventure game and into the darker and gritter areas of that galaxy far far away.

3. Fallout TV Series Leaked Images
While there still isn’t a release date yet for the upcoming Fallout series on Prime Video, there’s been several leaks about the show, including plenty of pictures.
The latest comes from a Tik Tok post.
The series of photos are sure to block out any faces that appear, but it’s clear from the shots we’ll be seeing some iconic Fallout imagery. One of the first things that will make Fallout fans excited is the power armor. Shown in two pics, there’s one where the suit of armor seems to be hanging up among other props, and in the other, the suit is being worked on by what can be assumed to be prop masters. If there’s power armor, there’s a good chance the Brotherhood of Steel will factor in somehow, and one of the shots may support this. There’s a picture of what looks to be the inside of a Vertibird aircraft with possibly an actor (face covered) manning a mounted gun.
Another image seems to show the inside of a vault, but not one that succeeded. There’s a pen for livestock and the foliage within looks dried and withered. One of the other shots shows an abandoned nursery module within a vault. Could this perhaps be an homage to exploring the wasteland and coming upon some of the other vaults?
Two other shots show off vault uniforms and continue to show that the series will have some high fidelity to the games. That’s been pretty consistent through all the photos released about the show.
With cons starting up for the year, there will likely be some announcements, maybe even a trailer, coming soon. Stay tuned.

Codename Red, one of the in-development Assassin’s Creed games, will feature two playable characters. New information from sources reveals details about those characters.
One of the characters will be a samurai, with it said that the short teaser Ubisoft officially released being that character. The other is a shinobi, an African refugee who had learned the way of the Creed. While there are no further details about them, the sources do reveal something interesting about the core of the gameplay. Developer Quebec is focusing on stealth mechanics, Hitman-style. Current features of those mechanics include hiding bodies, taking cover in tall grass, and extinguishing lights to avoid incriminating shadows.
Ubisoft has plenty of Assassin’s Creed experiences in development or planning, with the codenames for all of them known. The main single-player experiences will still be around, with the likes of Codename Hexe and Codename Nebula. Multiplayer experiences will be coming, with Codename Invictus being the first of those. A mobile game is also in development, known as Codename Jade.
Those games that we know details of are: Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the next single-player game that takes players to the Golden Age of Baghdad to grow into the most versatile Assassin in franchise history. Then there’s Assassin’s Creed Nexus, a VR game that, as yet, hasn’t been formally announced. Both are understood to be part of Ubisoft’s E3 plans for this year.

1. Grand Theft Auto VI Screenshot Leaked

The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most popular video game series of all time. The most recent entry of the series, Grand Theft Auto V came out in 2013. The game was extremely popular, and Rockstar still updates the online portion of the game with different events, as it's still pretty active. It’s been a few years since the previous installment came out, so naturally, fans were wondering about the next installment in the series. Rockstar was very hush-hush about the game until a leak forced them to confirm information surrounding the next title. A recent leak, however, has given us a screenshot from the game.
The screenshot looks much more polished than the leak last year. It doesn’t show much, besides a woman, standing behind some buildings and some people around her. The screenshot also takes place at night, but everything around them is lit up, making it seem night mode in the game won’t be too dark. The people around here appear to be test models, but the screenshot is extremely polished, and it looks like the game is heading on the right path. Even though it's an early screenshot, the graphics are very impressive, and it has fans hyped for what the rest of the game looks like.
Even though a screenshot was leaked, the game is still in development, and it will be a few years until we see the game. Rockstar always takes years on their games, especially when it comes to sequels, and it shows. There is not much known about the game, and where it will take place, but if the screenshot is anything to go by, the game will be worth the wait.
