No less than Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring from Breaking Bad) appears on the cover for the next major release in the Far Cry game series. The game Far Cry 6 was leaked today before the folks at Ubisoft had a chance to hold an event or make any sort of major announcement of the title on their own. This game was quite clearly accidentally revealed via the Hong Kong PlayStation Store, complete with details about the release date, setting, synopsis, and key art for the game.

Back at the beginning of June, THQ Nordic confirmed that it's remastering Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a game from the Xbox 360 and PS3 era that was the sole title made by 38 Studios. When it made that announcement, THQ Nordic gave us next to nothing in terms of details aside from confirming the title of the remaster - Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - and confirming that it would include all of Amalur's DLC.

With the end of the current console generation fast approaching, there are plenty of people wondering how publishers and developers will handle cross-generation games. On Xbox Series X, we'll see Smart Delivery, a feature that lets customers buy a game on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X and own it on the other platform, but Microsoft isn't forcing publishers to participate in that program. One publisher who clearly won't be participating in Smart Delivery is 2K Games with NBA 2K21.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the launch of PlayStation Plus, and to celebrate, Sony has announced that subscribers will be getting three free games in July, one more than the standard two free games we're used to seeing month in and month out. Two of those games are big-ticket titles, while the third is more of an experimental title that's getting a chance at a much larger audience because of this PlayStation Plus promotion.

The Last of Us Part II may have drawn some controversy among fans of the series, but it doesn't seem that was enough to slow down sales. Sony and Naughty Dog have announced that The Last of Us Part II has become the fastest selling first-party exclusive title for PlayStation 4. That may sound like a very specific achievement, but given the number of quality first-party exclusives we've had on the PS4, it's nothing to stick your nose up at.

Better late than never, as they say, and that applies especially for squashing software bugs. All non-trivial software have bugs and that's true both for games as well as the platforms that run these games. Although the PlayStation 5 is just around the corner, Sony is still giving its current PS4 console some much-needed attention by opening up its bug-hunting program to the public at large.

As the rumors foretold, we're getting a new Crash Bandicoot game. After Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time leaked out last week, Activision confirmed the new title today, announcing that Spyro Reignited Trilogy developer Toys for Bob will be handling the development duties on this one too. Crash Bandicoot fans won't have to wait long to get their hands on this one either, as it'll be out later this year.

The Crash Bandicoot franchise has enjoyed something of a resurgence in recent years. That's thanks to remakes of classic games bringing the old PlayStation mascot into the modern era, specifically Activision-published remakes of the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy and Crash Team Racing. Now it seems that Crash is about to star in an entirely new game called Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

We already knew that Cyberpunk 2077 will be an Xbox Smart Delivery title - meaning that you'll be able to buy it on Xbox One and later upgrade to the Xbox Series X version for free - but what about PlayStation 5? It turns out that a similar upgrade path will be available from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 once Sony's next-gen console is actually on shelves. CD Projekt Red has announced that those who own the game on PS4 will receive a free update that makes it playable on PlayStation 5.

Since the dawn of Star Wars, George Lucas's universe has expanded with stories from across the galaxy - and across time. In Star Wars: Squadrons, the gamer is dropped in to the cockpit of a starfighter at a key point in the history of the Rebellion, and the decline of the evil Galactic Empire. Much like Star Wars: Battlefront (2015), this game takes place (at least in part) just after the battle of Endor, after the destruction of the Death Star II.
