• Free Next-Gen Remaster Upgrade: CD Projekt Red announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered launches September 29, 2026, offering a free upgrade for existing owners on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, alongside day-one releases on Nintendo Switch 2 and Battle.net.
• All Major Expansions Included: The Remaster bundles both acclaimed story expansions—Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine—straight out of the box at no extra charge.
• Brand-New 2027 Story Expansion: Unveiled Songs of the Past, a massive new storyline co-developed with Fool’s Theory that brings Geralt to Dandelion’s hometown region of Letten, complete with new chain weaponry, mutagens, and dark curses.

Just when you thought you were finally done wandering the Continent, CD Projekt Red pulled off the biggest bombshell of Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live. The Polish studio has officially announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered for release on September 29, 2026, while shocking the gaming world with a teaser for an all-new full story expansion, Songs of the Past, arriving in 2027.

Having surpassed an incredible 65 million copies sold worldwide, Geralt’s 2015 magnum opus is getting an extensive visual, gameplay, and performance modernisation co-developed with Yigsoft. The remaster brings overhauled textures, lighting refinements, and streamlined gameplay tweaks, bundling both massive story expansions—Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine—into one unified experience.

The real showstopper, however, was the premiere of Songs of the Past. Nearly a decade after Blood and Wine was thought to be Geralt’s final curtain call, CD Projekt Red and veteran support studio Fool’s Theory are bringing the White Wolf back into the field. The upcoming expansion transports players to the seemingly idyllic countryside region of Letten, the ancestral home of everyone’s favorite bard, Dandelion. Beneath the pastoral festivals and lush harvests lies an ancient, festering curse that demands a witcher’s blade. To take on these newly revealed horrors, Geralt adds a tactical chain weapon for wide crowd control alongside powerful new mutagens and dozens of narrative-rich side quests.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered launches on September 29, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with the Songs of the Past expansion scheduled to arrive in 2027.

Gamescom Opening Night Live delivered the massive RPG drop fans have been holding their breath for. Square Enix has officially pulled back the curtain on Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third and concluding entry in the ambitious Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, debuting a breathtaking new trailer titled Guardians of the Planet.

Picking up the pieces after the emotional whirlwind of Rebirth, Revelation puts Cloud Strife and his companions on a collision course with Sephiroth for the fate of the Planet itself. The newly revealed footage shows the doomsday threat of Meteor looming over the skies as the massive biological guardians known as the Weapons awaken from the lifestream, escalating global warfare to apocalyptic heights.

Square Enix is dialing up the scale for the grand finale. Players will finally take the helm of the Highwind airship to freely navigate a vast, seamless overworld, unearthing forgotten corners of Gaia and engaging in revamped, high-intensity tactical action combat alongside evolved synergy abilities.

With the ultimate battle for survival drawing near, Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and the party must muster everything they have to bring this multi-part odyssey to an unforgettable end.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Following its massive splash on current-gen rigs, Shift Up’s post-apocalyptic action-RPG is ready to slice its way onto Nintendo’s next-gen hybrid console. Developer Shift Up has officially rolled out a brand-new, uncut action trailer for Stellar Blade: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting rapid-fire combat sequences, stylish nanosuit toggles, and smooth portable performance.

Helmed by game director Kim Hyung-tae, Stellar Blade drops players into a ruined, desolate Earth overrun by horrifying biotechnical invaders known as the Naytiba.

Players get immediate access to the beloved NieR: Automata and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE collaboration quests, bonus boss rush modes, and Eve’s full catalog of stylish outfits and hairstyles. Furthermore, the Switch 2 release takes advantage of the system’s enhanced Joy-Con 2 motion sensors, introducing optional motion control support to add tactical interactivity to exploration and mini-games outside of standard combat.
