Diablo IV and KOF XV Join PlayStation Plus in July 2025 Sony is celebrating the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus in July 2025 and, as a result, big-name games like DIablo IV and KOF XV will be available. Those will show up on July 1, 2025. However, in honor of the occasion, there will also be an Online Multiplayer Weekend for all PS4 and PS5 users between June 28-29, 2025. Both Diablo IV and KOF XV will be available as both PS4 and PS5 PlayStation Plus games in July 2025. The former is an action-RPG with an overhead perspective that involves creating a character, then heading out on a journey to deal with demons and other enemies. As you do, you’ll gather all kinds of loot. Seasons also add new challenges and gear opportunities. As for KOF XV, it’s the latest SNK fighter in the series that prioritizes 3v3 matches and a wide array of new and returning cast members. The sole PS5-only game available during next month is Jusant. It is an adventure game about climbing a tower. You need to manage your stamina and make smart choices to get past tricky situations and reach the top. As for the Online Multiplayer Weekend, that means PS4 and PS5 players don’t need PlayStation Plus to play games online for two days. Typically, you need at least the base membership to make that happen. Sony noted this starts at 12:01am local time in each region on June 28, 2025. Then at 11:59pm local time on June 29, 2025, it ends. The July 2025 PlayStation Plus games will be available to subscribers between July 1, 2025 and August 4, 2025.

McFarlane Making Persona 3 Reload Protagonist Action Figure Atlus and McFarlane announced that the Persona 3 Reload protagonist will be turned into an Elite Edition action figure. We don’t know a release date yet. However, we do know McFarlane will start taking pre-orders for the item on July 3, 2025. A first photo showed the box and some of the character’s accessories. He’ll wear his outfit for heading into Tartarus and come equipped with a sword and an Evoker. There will be seven hand parts included for different poses. Four face plates will be in the set for different expressions too. The collectible art cards included with it will be the Fool Arcana one representing the SEES social link and one of the figure’s box art in a matching white stand. Here’s a closer look at what will be in the box: Image via Atlus and McFarlane We can get an idea of what this action figure might cost. The Diablo IV Lilith and DOOM: The Dark Ages DOOM Slayer ones each cost $59.99 . Both also stood at seven inches tall, so the Persona 3 Reload one should be about that height too. This isn’t the only new figure based on a character from the series on the way. Prime 1 Studios announced it is making some too. We don’t know which characters will be a part of that lineup yet, however. Persona 3 Reload is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the McFarlane Elite Edition protagonist figure will be available to pre-order starting on July 3, 2025.

Shadow Labyrinth Preview – Eat Or Be Eaten<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/21/df1a2ed4/shadowlabyrinth_1.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="Shadow Labyrinth Preview" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PC Publisher: Bandai Namco Developer: Bandai Namco Release: <time datetime="2025-07-17T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">July 17, 2025</time> Rating: Teen 2025 marks Pac-Man’s 45th anniversary, and Bandai Namco is celebrating by taking its wildest swing on the franchise yet. At the risk of sounding cliche, Shadow Labyrinth isn’t your parents’ Pac-Man, regaining the yellow ghost-devouring circle as the robotic companion to a mysterious swordsman in a dark sci-fi action game. I played a few segments of the upcoming 2D Metroidvania, and while it didn’t give me a full blown case of Pac-Man fever, this wild reinvention has some promise.To get a head start on grasping Shadow Labyrinth, you should first watch Amazon Prime’s video game anthology series Secret Level, specifically its sixth episode, PAC-MAN: Circle. The 11-minute episode serves as a prequel to the game, and tells the story of PUCK, a sentient yellow machine orb (i.e., a sci-fi reimagining of Pac-Man) originally dispatched by the United Galaxy Space Force (UGSF) to destroy a cosmos-dominating AI. However, PUCK’s mission fails, and they have been stranded on this world trying to complete the mission by enlisting the assistance of humanoid creatures called Swordsmen, found incubating in tanks. The events of PAC-MAN: Circle focus on PUCK’s journey with the 7th Swordsman it has awakened; without spoiling too much, it goes poorly. Shadow Labyrinth begins soon after, placing players behind the eyes of PUCK’s 8th Swordsman.  <iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-7YXmOtc-Io" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>As the name Labyrinth implies, players explore a sprawling, maze-like map. True to its Metroid-inspired nature, players gain new abilities, such as a double jump, to reach inaccessible areas. The Swordsman and PUCK work as a duo, with the former cutting down foes using a hack-and-slash sword combo and parrying incoming attacks while the latter gobbles up the bits of currency they drop, called Ora. On that note, I appreciate the lighthearted use of the classic Pac-Man eating sound effect each time PUCK consumes this resource.Shadow Labyrinth’s combat has a nice sense of maneuverability thanks to a dodge roll and mid-air dash. Performing these evasive actions consumes a meter called ESP. This functionally serves like a stamina meter, and depleting it results in an agonizing wait for it to replenish, leaving you incapable of evading until it does. Running out of stamina became a recurring issue during hectic battles in which I needed to dodge often, and managing this gets trickier thanks to a suite of special moves that also consume ESP to execute.ESP abilities bolster the Swordman’s basic offense with more advanced abilities, such as a powerful sword slash capable of cutting through multiple targets. Eventually, you unlock other skills you can swap between on the fly via an ability wheel. One ESP ability lets you fire PUCK straight ahead like a bullet. Another lets PUCK orbit the Swordsman and electrify anything they touch. Yet another allows the Swordsman to lob exploding energy balls like grenades. <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/21/75c4b466/shadowlabyrinth_4.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Additionally, equipping Perks adds passive upgrades to the Swordsman. One of my favorite Perks allows his mid-air dash to inflict damage, turning it into a Metroid-style screw attack-like maneuver. You can only equip a limited number of Perks at once, as each consumes a certain number of Notches (represented as Pac-Man icons). I begin the game with five Notches, meaning I could equip, say, three perks requiring one Notch and a fourth perk requiring two. Equipping Perks can only be done at save checkpoints, which is also where you can fast travel between other save points and spend Ora to upgrade certain basic stats, such as attack damage.Combat is solid, though battles can become challenging wars of attrition; Shadow Labyrinth is a tough game. It requires careful management of your ESP and a limited number of healing items as you evade, parry, and retaliate to conquer tough one-on-one fights or enemy-filled rooms. When the going gets really tough, clicking the analog sticks after filling a meter transforms the protagonists into their GAIA form, a large mech suit capable of obliterating enemies in the blink of an eye.Because of how dialed in you need to be while fighting, it’s easy to overlook that several adversaries and level elements are reimagined elements from old-school Namco franchises. From exploring a planet from the space shooter Bosconian to cutting down grotesque versions of enemies from Dig Dug, Shadow Labyrinth features a neat amalgamation of Namco’s history. The biggest reference I saw, quite literally, was during a nail-biting boss encounter with a grotesque behemoth wearing the Terror Mask from Splatterhouse. <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/21/78cc738c/shadowlabyrinth_3.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> This is my favorite section of my time with Shadow Labyrinth. The boss battle is a tough but entertaining test of my developing skills. My reward for conquering this is watching PUCK take over the Swordman’s body, transforming it into a giant gooey black version of itself that violently devours my fallen enemy. I never thought I’d see Pac-Man execute a Mortal Kombat Fatality, but here we are.PUCK also takes center stage in special platforming segments inspired by Pac-Man. The floating sidekick can navigate tracks resembling the Pac-Man maze board to explore areas the Swordsman can’t. Like Pac-Man, PUCK moves on these tracks autonomously, with players steering their direction and jumping to reach new platforms. While I love the idea, I’m not wild about the execution.Gauging the momentum for jumps is tricky when you’re constantly moving, and though you can kind of hold yourself in place by constantly flicking the analog stick in the opposite direction you’re heading, it’s easy to send yourself flying off course to your doom. This is especially true when crawling vertically, and while I tried to avoid jumping when going up or down, it often became necessary thanks to buzzsaws patrolling the same tracks. These can be avoided by hopping over them, but many sections of the map make this extremely difficult <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/21/72c68c17/shadowlabyrinth_5.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> More narrow spaces, or spots where jumping simply wasn’t ideal due to the physics (like vertical planes), meant colliding with buzzsaws was unavoidable. This meant losing health, and dying means redoing the entire section. This became especially maddening because this specific segment operated on a timer, tasking me to finish quickly to reach a door before it closed. This objective felt at odds with how the section required careful, deliberate platforming to avoid failure; I never finished it despite coming close on multiple occasions. I hope these design flaws are exclusive to this one segment, because it was the most frustrating section of my demo.As a Metroidvania sicko, Shadow Labyrinth didn’t bowl me over. Most of its features are competently designed, but it didn’t make what I’d consider a strong impression. The 2000s Flash-esque art style doesn’t appeal to me either. What stands out most is the lore and premise; I’m intrigued to see how this adventure plays out as a fan of the Secret Level episode. A fascinating and, frankly, bizarre story and world can absolutely carry an otherwise decent action game, though I’m hoping the full adventure makes a stronger impression when Shadow Labyrinth arrives on July 17.

Donkey Kong Bananza Features Co-Op And GameShare For Switch 2 and Switch 1 Consoles<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/18/fa0d4544/dk_2.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 2 Exclusive" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> Nintendo released <a href="https://gameinformer.com/2025/06/18/everything-we-learned-during-todays-donkey-kong-bananza-direct">a deluge of Donkey Kong Bananza in a special Direct</a> earlier this morning, including news that the game features local and online co-op and unique GameShare features. Most surprisingly, though, Nintendo Switch 2 owners with Donkey Kong Bananza can use GameShare to let a Switch 1 player join their game and play as Donkey Kong's companion, Pauline. This means that technically, a Switch player who maybe hasn't upgraded to Nintendo's latest console can still check out the game. During the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct, Nintendo revealed that you can share a second Joy-Con 2 controller, or a second set entirely, to let another player control Pauline separately from Donkey Kong. They can unleash Vocal Blasts using the Joy-Con 2 Mouse controls. And, with GameShare, you only need one copy of the game to participate in the co-op action because you can share Donkey Kong Bananza with another Switch 2 owner. This can be done locally, even to a Switch 1 player, or via an online connection to another Switch 2 owner using GameShare via GameChat.  <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/18/f90f5637/game_share_2.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> GameShare is already a nice consumer-friendly feature, and something we're glad has returned from the DS era in the Switch 2 generation. But the fact that it can be used to play alongside someone on Switch 1 is impressive (especially as people are still in the process of tracking down a Switch 2 to upgrade to Nintendo's latest console). This section of today's Direct was quick, so there are likely some details still to learn about how this GameShare feature works specifically with Donkey Kong Bananza. We're excited to learn more soon when Donkey Kong Bananza launches exclusively on Switch 2 next month on July 17. While waiting for its release, read <a href="https://Donkey Kong Bananza launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 next month on July 17.

Tsarevna, An Action 'Ballet-Slasher' Inspired By Slavic Folklore, Gets New Cinematic Trailer<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/17/53a7dc0b/tsarevna.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="Tsarevna Slavic Folklore Myth Action Slasher Ballet WATT Studio" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> Developer WATT Studio has released a new cinematic trailer for Tsarevna, its action "ballet-slasher," teasing what awaits players in this dark fantasy, Slavic folklore-inspired world. The team says its combat system is built upon choreographed motion capture from world-renowned ballerina Alyona Kovalyova, a principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet. "Set in the aftermath of a dark and fractured era, Tsarevna leads players on a journey through enchanted and forsaken realms – from the depths of the Underworld to the skybound lands of Iriy," a press release reads. "Along the way, players will confront ancient deities, unlock Tsarevna's forgotten past, and uncover the cost of wielding power rooted in grief and beauty." Check out the Tsarevna teaser trailer for yourself below: <iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jEAe604BZHE" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>In the game, players control the titular Tsarevna, a young warrior and heir to a fallen dynasty. She's armed with a magical blade that WATT Studio says is forged from emotion itself. With it, the Tsarevna "battles through hordes of creatures drawn from myth – wraiths, mermaids, forest spirits – as she seeks vengeance and truth in a world scarred by a long-forgotten cataclysm." Players can expect challenging boss fights with gods, as well as cursed villages, ruined temples, and divine realms to explore, and more. Check out more of Tsarevna in the new screenshots below:  Tsarevna is due out on PC via <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3348640/Tsarevna/">Steam</a> sometime in 2026.  <section class='type:slideshow'><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entity_browser_thumbnail/public/2025/06/17/7ffa47e6/tsarevna_screenshots_5.jpg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entity_browser_thumbnail/public/2025/06/17/08777b1a/tsarevna_screenshots_1.jpg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entity_browser_thumbnail/public/2025/06/17/48a472ab/tsarevna_screenshots_2.jpeg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entity_browser_thumbnail/public/2025/06/17/dddd8016/tsarevna_screenshots_4.jpg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entity_browser_thumbnail/public/2025/06/17/d45cd016/tsarevna_screenshots_3.jpeg'></figure></section>

Umamusume English Version Will Update at a Faster Pace Cygames announced on social media that it intends to issue updates and add events, characters, and quality of life features at a faster pace to the English, global version of Umamusume: Pretty Derby to get it up to par with the Japanese release. Some elements that will be available right away are crossplay, a Jukebox, and landscape mode races, and Guided Career will appear sometime after. Some of these elements are self-explanatory. Crossplay means you can use your account in the PC or mobile version of the game at launch. The Jukebox is a music player feature. Once selected, you can hear all of the horse girls’ songs outside of special situations. While originally the perspective for races featured a portrait mode look, at launch we can see it in landscape on both PCs and mobile devices. As for Guided Career, that’s a way to play the Career mode that makes it a bit faster, as it essentially enables an auto-play feature that handles training for you. Normally, how it works is we would choose one of the scenarios and a character. We then would need to go through this training storyline and manage the characters to ensure they complete it successfully. Once one finishes, you can use them in other modes. This feature debuted after the fourth anniversary in the Japanese version in early 2025. Finally, the schedule will be accelerated. All banners for Umamusume: Pretty Derby characters and events will come up at a faster pace, but each one will last as long as it normally would. This will happen until it catches up with the Japanese release. We’ll learn more about Umamusume: Pretty Derby and the English version at Anime Expo 2025 . Cygames will have a booth at the July 3-6, 2025 event. It will also offer a showing of the movie Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era there. We also already know that every new player gets 30 Goddess Statues, 45 Alarm Clocks, 45 Toughness 30s, 3,750 Carats, 50,000 Support Points, and 100,000 Monies. In the meantime, a number of new trailers appeared for characters. First, here’s Symboli Rudolf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctFuUxs4Yu4 Rice Shower ended up being featured after that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqCr1KGqYN4 She was followed by Haru Urara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlWchCoxwcU After that, we got to meet Air Groove. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngGFi5nM1s0 Winning Ticket’s trailer showed up a few days ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMmxNzisSbA Finally, we got to see Oguri Cap ahead of the weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR4nC4d43Ig The Umamusume: Pretty Derby English release date is June 26, 2025, and we’ll be able to preregister for the global version of the game on the PC via Steam and Android and iOS mobile devices on April 28, 2025.

Every Game Shown During The 2025 Summer Game Fest Day Of The Devs Digital Showcase<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/d39c21a3/dodt2025.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> Day of the Devs has increasingly become a platform for small teams to show off unique games, and this year was another nice collection of interesting games, many of which were oddly based around pulling off heists. You can can see the full round-up of showcased titles below.  <h2>Snap & Grab</h2>Developer: No Goblin <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/e3fb8bcf/screenshot-00001.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> A neon soaked heist game where you have to take pictures of various valuable items in order to steal them later  <h2>Big Walk</h2>Developer: House House <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/4465fa4b/screenshot-00002.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The creators of Untitled Goose Game showed its next title, which is cooperative multiplayer where strange avatars explore a realistic environment in order to solve puzzles. Voice communication will be a major factor.  <h2>Sword of the Sea</h2>Developer: Giant Squid <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/03f8e9ec/ss_adfbbd61a2b5c291813af20b7b5bb527762c586f.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The next game from the creators of Abzu and The Pathless has been revealed before, and was shown recently at the PlayStation event earlier this week, but Day of the Devs offered an additional look.  <h2>Escape Academy 2: Back To School</h2>Developer: Coin Crew Games <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/c6292db3/screenshot-00003.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The sequel to Escape Academy, a fun co-op game where players work their way through digital escape rooms, will apparently focus more on the lore of the school and attending classes alongside new puzzles. It will also be open world, unlike the original.  <h2>Mixtape</h2>Developer: Beethoven and Dinosaur <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/7ccbec07/screenshot-00006.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The next game from the creators of The Artful Escape has been shown before, but Day of the Devs offered a new look at the very stylish coming of age story as well as some insight into more artists that will be on the soundtrack like Joy Division, Smashing Pumpkins, Potishead, Devo, Silverchair, The Cure, and many more.  <h2>Blighted</h2>Developer: Drinkbox <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/dabca457/screenshot-00007.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The creators of Nobody Saves the World and the Guacamelee series’ next game is an overhead action game that is described as a Metroidvania (a genre the studio is adept at). In a world where memories are passed down generation to generation, you have to overcome the Blight that is overtaking the world. And you do this by exploring and beating up enemies with a skeletal scythe.  <h2>Dosa Divas: One Last Meal</h2>Developer: Outer Loop <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/797a9e05/screenshot-00009.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The next game from the creators of Thirsty Suitors is an apocalyptic RPG and about travelling around in a ramshackle mech and cooking delicious food.  <h2>Possessor(s)</h2>Developer: Heart Machine <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/2d2f5218/ss_84481a95d406617644a8cbae4b5a113457a49701.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The creators of Hyper Light Drifter’s next game is a Devolver-published Metroidvania game taking place in a capitalist world overrun by demons. It’s been announced already, but Day of the Devs showed some new gameplay and characters.  <h2>Moonlighter 2</h2>Developer: Digital Sun <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/304d1b48/ss_4a4422057a27b46e396f2f73554c811666ed5067.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The original Moonlighter is a pixelated rogue game about managing your shop. The sequel changes the art direction significantly, but focuses on the same core ideas, but with all the improvements a sequel affords.  <h2>Please, Watch The Artwork</h2>Developer: Studio Waterzooi <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/c008c5a8/screenshot-00001.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Please, Watch the Artwork is a sequel to the charming puzzle game, Please, Touch the Artwork. In this game, players solve various puzzles surrounding famous artworks.  <h2>Marvel Cosmic Invasion</h2>Developer: Tribute Games Inc. <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/bbb764f6/screenshot-00002.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Day of the Devs offered a new look at the upcoming throwback Marvel beat ‘em up, showcasing newcomer She-Hulk and Rocket Racoon.  <h2>Neverwake</h2>Developer: Coldblood, Inc. <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/5f36de4c/screenshot-00010.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Neverwake is a horror RPG life sim that has a great, creepy, pixel art style. You can choose to play at your own pace in terms of chasing the action, or just living your life. And it features music from Hyper Light Drifter composer Disasterpiece.  <h2>Relooted</h2>Developer: Nyamakop <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/7f8053cf/screenshot-00011.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> The studio behind 2018’s Semblance is back with something a little different. You play as a team that must loot artifacts inspired by the real world and return them to their home in South Africa. Gameplay is about pulling off heists and escaping with intense platforming missions when things go awry.  <h2>Ratatan</h2>Developer: TVT Co. Ltd., Ratata Arts <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/95d57fbf/ss_710a03005206732eb0970580e4a8b4eb35cc868c.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Ratatan is a spiritual successor to the rhythm action games, Patapon, and it comes from the team that created Patapon. We’ve seen the game before, but Day of the Devs offered a new look.  <h2>Thick as Thieves</h2>Developer: Otherside Entertainment <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/71684965/ss_3cc06654929982c935e4c2c7b597ecc9d5598f2f.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Warren Spector is known primarily for his work on the Deus Ex series and the Epic Mickey games. His latest game is Thick as Thieves with Otherside Entertainment. It’s a cooperative stealth action game about pulling off heists – a theme for the Day of the Devs showcase – at the same time as other thieves.  <h2>Pocket Boss</h2>Developer: Mario von Rickenbach <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/3c8c2ccf/screenshot-00003.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> 2019’s Kids is a less a game, and more an entertaining interactive art piece with very memorable visuals. Pocket Boss is the next game from its creators, and it is a short experience all about manipulating data and playing around with the visual language of graphs.  <h2>Consume Me</h2>Developers: Jenny Jiao Hsia, AP Thomson, Jie En Lee, Violet W-P, Ken "coda" Snyder <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/57d25c15/screenshot-00004.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Consume Me is an autobiographical game about co-developer Jenny Jiao Hsia and her relationship with self-image growing up. But it’s also about everyone’s self-image. Day of the Devs afforded a new look at the game.  <h2>Off</h2>Developer: Mortis Ghost, Fangamer <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/3c2c798f/screenshot-00006.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Originally released in 2008, Off is an influential RPG that heavily inspired games like Undertale. The Day of the Devs stream featured a quote from Undertale creator Toby Fox talking about how important that game was to Undertale’s creation. This year, Off is getting a re-release with newly added content.  <h2>Tire Boy</h2>Developer: GameTeam6 <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/09547424/screenshot-00009.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> Tire Boy is an action game where you play as the titular Tire Boy as they roll around the world, beat up monsters, and just generally get into trouble. It’s an odd premise that looks fun to play.  <h2>Toem 2</h2>Developer: Something We Made <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/06/124f2259/screenshot-00001.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> As the number behind the word Toem indicates, Toem 2 is a sequel to the well-regarded 2021 photo-taking game.

Why We Partnered With St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/05/054d51d4/00194570-013-campus_1.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> Game Informer has committed to donating 5% of every subscription purchase price to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. If you’ve already subscribed or you’re thinking about joining us, we want to tell you more about our decision and help you understand precisely what that money can do.As Game Informer returned after our hiatus, we talked a lot about what we wanted the outlet to be. Something that arose was the idea that, in whatever small way we can, we want to make gaming a little bit better because you choose to read or watch what we do. We hope your gaming hobby is better informed and more entertaining, and we hope that the way we write and talk about games helps, in some small way, to foster a better overall conversation about games as well.We also want to mirror what we’ve heard from our community over the years; many of you have told us that you value opportunities to give back and connect your love of gaming to the wider world. So, we committed to making that a core part of what we do.While there are countless remarkable charities with whom we could partner, we ultimately gravitated to St. Jude for some convincing reasons. Most crucially, we strongly believe in their mission and think it’s a cause that any one of you can also get behind. <img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/05/5098c42c/230124_patients_242-rinoa.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" alt class="image-style-body-default"> St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The hospital treats children from across the United States regardless of race, religion, or ability to pay. Internationally, St. Jude shares what it has learned and its technology to improve the survival rates of children with life-threatening illnesses everywhere.  When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was often considered incurable. In the years since, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate in the U.S. from 20% to more than 80%. We know you share our desire to see that percentage continue to rise.Many of us know families who have faced the heartbreak of a hard diagnosis for a child in their family. Some of us have faced that challenge firsthand among our own families or friends. If you can imagine that situation being the reality for a child in your own life, it’s not hard to understand why it’s worth trying to help.<a class="subnow button" href="https://www.gameinformer.com/subscribe">Subscribe now</a>Whether you choose to make a small difference through your subscription to Game Informer or you prefer to contribute to <a href="https://www.stjude.org">St. Jude directly</a>, we hope you’ll join us in supporting critical research, prevention, and support for patients. Thank you.
