Fans of the State of Decay franchise will probably have to wait for the third installment. According to new speculation, the survival action from Undead Labs has been pushed back to 2026, despite initial speculation of a 2025 release. The information was revealed by journalist Jez Corden on the Xbox Two podcast, where he stated that although the release was originally set for next year, it may be delayed, mainly due to the large number of titles that Microsoft may release in 2025. The possible delay is also highlighted by the fact that we haven’t seen any gameplay footage yet – only a trailer from this June, which showed footage of the engine but didn’t provide any more details on gameplay.
Microsoft has big titles like Avowed, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Fable and The Outer Worlds 2 lined up for 2025, so delaying State of Decay 3 to the following year would make sense and allow the developers to fine-tune the details and give the game some well-deserved space.
During this year’s The Game Awards 2024 presentation, Capcom surprised with the return of Okami, which will receive an as-yet-untitled sequel, and Onimusha with a new installment of Way of the Sword. This pleased many fans and gamers, however, we’ve been missing any information about the mysterious Pragmata game that was announced back in 2020 in conjunction with the PlayStation 5 launch. Given the silence and previous delays, it wouldn’t be out of place to worry about the title, but Capcom is still counting on it nonetheless.
Although Pragmata was announced in 2020 along with other games after the upcoming PlayStation 5, the release date was already set for 2022 at that time. However, the game was delayed until 2021, only to eventually show up again during Capcom Showcase 2023, but with another delay, this time indefinitely. What is certain is that we won’t see any more news this year, but maybe next year? We’ll see how much longer Pragmata will be in hiding. Moving forward though, the game should be heading not only to PlayStation 5, but also PC and Xbox Series.
The creators of Palworld are also working on their game while fighting Nintendo. Thanks to this, we have a new update, which has added a new location to the game world. Feybreak is a destination full of previously unrecognized threats, as it brings predators into play that are unusually difficult to defeat. But that’s not all, as usual. There are also criminals to catch, laboratories to research and new resources to work with.
Then added, among other things, is the brutal Meowmere sword, which shoots meowing projectiles from its innards. In short, the authors of Palworld have a bunch of news for you. You can test them out on PC, PlayStation 5 and also Xbox Series X/S.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Waiting for PlayStation 5 version
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
More than a month after the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, the game continues to receive substantial updates addressing its initial launch challenges. While the developers plan to release story expansions and further updates in the coming year, the game remains exclusive to PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms and PlayStation falls short.
Tech4Gamers Interview with GSC Game World about making the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game
Despite previous hints suggesting a potential PlayStation 5 release, Game Director Ievgen Grygorovych addressed the possibility in a recent Tech4Gamers interview. He stated that the team is currently focused solely on PC and Xbox Series X/S versions, with no immediate plans for a PS5 release. When questioned about the three-month exclusivity period mentioned in Epic Games documents, Grygorovych declined to comment.

Cyberpunk Infiltrates Fortnite!
Of course, the various collaborations with Fortnite, which have seen some really cool stuff over the years, are no surprise. However, occasionally content that we think is more interesting than others does make its way into the game – it’s worth remembering, for example, last year’s Alan Wake: Flashback special map, which served as a recap of the ideal build-up to the release of the Alan Wake 2 sequel. It’s not yet a precursor to a sequel this time around, but many fans will be pleased to hear that Fortnite has joined forces with CD Projekt again in the latest batch of news and collaborations, and after The Witcher, there’s Cyberpunk 2077.

V and Johnny Hit the Island
Fortnite has welcomed a visitor from Night City, as the announcement teaser proclaimed, which more accurately means a Night City Denizens Bundle headed by the legendary Johnny Silverhand and the female protagonist V, that is. Johnny’s inclusion means that this is the second time his actor character Keanu Reeves will be appearing in the game, as John Wick has previously made a visit to Fortnite. As for V, the choice of a female variant of the character for a change has raised questions in the community as to whether this means that this V is the canino for Cyberpunk 2077. That’s not true, by the way, as the developers have previously clarified that both characters are equal and neither is canon at the expense of the other. In addition to the skins of Johnny and V, the package then includes Mantis blades, Johnny’s guitar, katana and satchel, and for V, a Flathead drone from Militech. The skins and accessories don’t stop there, though, as there’s also a Cyberpunk Vehicle Bundle, which includes the Quadra Turbo-R vehicle – which players can also get in Rocket League and vice versa after purchasing. Of course, there’s a whole host of customisation options.

Master Chief Returns
Anyway, speaking of in-game collaborations, Halo’s Master Chief has returned to Fortnite for the first time in a while, which has caused some confusion among players. It was previously possible to get the Matte Black skin as part of the Xbox exclusives, but now it’s no longer possible.
