Friday news, the equally long part two:

Meet the PC Gaming Show 2023 Co-Streamers
https://www.pcgamer.com/meet-the-pc-gaming-show-2023-co-streamers/
The PC Gaming Show 2023 is right around the corner: this Sunday, June 11, at 1:00 PM PDT / 4:00 PM EDT / 9:00 PM BST / 10:00 PM CEST. Our inimitable hosts, Sean "Day[9]" Plott and Frankie Ward will be delivering a bumper crop of world exclusive first looks and fresh info on the hottest upcoming PC games.

Nightdive's kicking around the idea of an 'XCOM-like' System Shock that casts you as the Citadel's doomed resistance fighters against Shodan
https://www.pcgamer.com/nightdives-kicking-around-the-idea-of-an-xcom-like-system-shock-that-casts-you-as-the-citadels-doomed-resistance-fighters-against-shodan/
The System Shock remake is finally here, eight years after it was first announced, and Nightdive is already thinking about what it wants to do next with the series. It might not be what we expect, either: In a chat with TechRadar, Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick mulled over a few potential projects the studio could attach the System Shock name to, including a straightforward remake of System Shock 2 or, intriguingly, an XCOM-like strategy game set on Citadel Station.

Like a relentless horror movie monster, Friday the 13th: The Game is finally going to die, but very, very slowly
https://www.pcgamer.com/like-a-relentless-horror-movie-monster-friday-the-13th-the-game-is-finally-going-to-die-but-very-very-slowly/
Friday the 13th: The Game has been a lot like a horror movie monster: No matter what's been done to it over the years, it just will not die. But today publisher Gun Media announced that the end is finally in sight: The company's license will expire on December 31, at which time it will no longer be offered for sale, and at some point after that it will stop working completely.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge getting dimension-hopping multiverse DLC starring a samurai rabbit
https://www.pcgamer.com/tmnt-shredders-revenge-getting-dimension-hopping-multiverse-dlc-starring-a-samurai-rabbit/
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge feels like the pinnacle of DotEmu's work so far, a colourful and joyous brawler that captured the spirit of Konami's arcade games, ladled on the fan-service, and was a co-op blast. Sure it relies heavily on nostalgia but, as Paul McCartney once sang, you'll be older too.

Nicolas Cage says he'll be 'fused' with Dead by Daylight players who play as him: 'I want you to know that we're one'
https://www.pcgamer.com/nicolas-cage-game-awards-dead-by-daylight/
We recently learned that Nicolas Cage is playing a new survivor in asymmetrical competitive horror game Dead by Daylight, and today Cage himself showed up on stage at the Summer Game Fest showcase to talk about his role (at about 47:30 in the embedded video above, which should start there automatically).

Finally, Mortal Kombat will let you team up Sub-Zero with Sub-Zero
https://www.pcgamer.com/finally-mortal-kombat-will-let-you-team-up-subzero-with-subzero/
If it wasn't clear already that Mortal Kombat 1 is going to be a big shake up for the series, Ed Boon casually dropping that Scorpion and Sub-Zero are brothers now was a big tip off. Riffing off the timeline-resetting ending of the previous game, the new game's narrative seems to be focusing back on classic versions of characters like Johnny Cage, Kenshi, Kitana, and Mileena, but remixing their storylines in new ways.

Capcom knows what the people want: Mecha Ryu punching a giant dino
https://www.pcgamer.com/capcom-knows-what-the-people-want-mecha-ryu-punching-a-giant-dino/
Capcom has announced the first of what's clearly intended as a long series of collaborations between its titles of the moment, and it's kicking things off with Street Fighter 6 and ExoPrimal. Eschewing any notion of getting fancy about this stuff, the short trailer gets right into it: Specifically, an exosuit version of Ryu punching and fireballing big dinosaurs.

Prince of Persia is coming back with a cartoony 2.5D platformer, and it's the 2003 throwback I didn't know I wanted
https://www.pcgamer.com/prince-of-persia-is-coming-back-with-a-cartoony-25d-platformer-and-its-the-2003-throwback-i-didnt-know-i-wanted/
There was a time when Ubisoft seemed defined more by whimsical, French comic book weirdness than generic open world blandness. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown looks like a throwback to that time, the days of Rayman, Beyond Good and Evil, or PoP series high water mark, The Sands of Time, and it's the last thing I expected to really wow me at Summer Game Fest.

Baldur's Gate 3 finally gave us a peek at the city itself, and I'm over the moon
https://www.pcgamer.com/baldurs-gate-3-finally-gave-us-a-peek-at-the-city-itself-and-im-over-the-moon/
As we inch toward Baldur's Gate 3's 1.0 release at the end of August, Larian has been sharing more looks of the game beyond its first act. Baldur's Gate 3's latest trailer at the Summer Game Fest finally showed us Larian's interpretation of Baldur's Gate itself, one of the iconic RPG cities, and the sight of some of my beloved old haunts in full 3D has me giddy.

Paradox is publishing a Star Trek grand strategy game and I am vibrating with anticipation
https://www.pcgamer.com/paradox-is-publishing-a-star-trek-grand-strategy-game-and-i-am-vibrating-with-anticipation/
Big Geoff's Summer Game Fest offered few surprises this year, but I definitely wasn't expecting to see a Star Trek grand strategy game published by Paradox. Star Trek: Infinite is being developed by Nimble Giant Entertainment, the studio behind the latest Master of Orion 4X, and is due this autumn.
>> Resistence is futile, accept that there'll be dozens of DLCs.

Thank goodness Return to Moria looks good because honestly I was going to play the Lord of the Rings crafting game either way
https://www.pcgamer.com/thank-goodness-return-to-moria-looks-good-because-honestly-i-was-going-to-play-the-lord-of-the-rings-crafting-game-either-way/
Lord of the Rings games didn't get a great start this year with the ropey Gollum game but I'm feeling pretty optimistic about incoming crafting and survival game Return to Moria. Gollum was a weird pitch even when we first heard about it and I felt little surprise it landed flat. A dwarven crafting and base-building game set down in Khazad-dûm already felt like a way better fit, and the new combat and crafting laden trailer is keeping my hopes afloat.

You can try out Wizard with a Gun, the upcoming survival game about being a wizard with a gun, free on Steam now
https://www.pcgamer.com/you-can-try-out-wizard-with-a-gun-the-upcoming-survival-game-about-being-a-wizard-with-a-gun-free-on-steam-now/
"A small but wonderful slice" of Wizard with a Gun, an upcoming sandbox survival game whose name we've been appreciating for a couple years, is now available to try on Steam, developer Galvanic Games and publisher Devolver Digital announced at Devolver Direct today.

Baby Steps is a 'literal walking simulator' from Bennett Foddy that looks like QWOP-ing your way through Skyrim
https://www.pcgamer.com/baby-steps-is-a-literal-walking-simulator-from-bennett-foddy-that-looks-like-qwop-ing-your-way-through-skyrim/
Nate is an unemployed (and from the looks of it, unemployable) sad sack. He sprawls on the couch in his parent's basement in a grubby onesie, smoking weed and eating junk food, until his TV asks him "Are you still watching One Piece?"
But then Nate discovers an amazing power: walking. Transported to a mysterious, misty world, Nate must put one foot in front of the other—which is going to be harder than you might expect because Baby Steps is a "literal walking simulator" co-developed by Bennett Foddy, the person behind extremely difficult movement games QWOP and Getting Over It.

If you like metaphysical nonsense and weird architecture, The Talos Principle 2 should be right up your alley
https://www.pcgamer.com/if-you-like-metaphysical-nonsense-and-weird-architecture-the-talos-principle-2-should-be-right-up-your-alley/
After years of silence, The Talos Principle 2 reappeared last month at the PlayStation Showcase, with a promise of an expanded game world, new types of puzzles, and—of course—"questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization." At tonight's Devolver Direct, we got a glimpse of what that will actually look like, and it is definitely different.

CCG company sues Disney's next big card game for alleged 'premeditated' IP heist, asks court to block its release and throw the book at them
https://www.pcgamer.com/ccg-company-sues-disneys-next-big-card-game-for-alleged-premeditated-ip-heist-asks-court-to-block-its-release-and-throw-the-book-at-them/
Hey, are you excited about the upcoming Disney Lorcana collectible card game, set to release in August, which gives you the chance to "Wield magic inks and the power of Lorcana to assemble your team of Disney characters" in white-knuckle card-based duels? Well maybe cool your jets for a second, because a company called Upper Deck is taking its maker to court.

Horror story: As an actually good Friday the 13th game dies, another implacably rises
https://www.pcgamer.com/horror-story-as-an-actually-good-friday-the-13th-game-dies-another-implacably-rises/
This week brought the sad news that Friday the 13th: The Game, which has not had an easy ride of it over the years, is now ticking down the days until its closure. (...)
Then, just like the movies, Jason Voorhees will rise again. That's according to composer Harry Manfredini who, speaking to Rely on Horror, discussed a little about how he composed the music for the 2017 game ("modules of material" creating a unique score for each player) before revealing he's been hired to worked on another game in the iconic horror series. Manfredini has been the composer for Friday the 13th material ever since the original film, and it's only fair to describe his work as iconic within the slasher flick genre.

Finally, let's check what GOG and Steam have for us this weekend:
