The not so long part two of the gaming news:

It did not look like a happy ending was in the cards for Maverick Games when Amazon ended its publishing deal for the studio's in-development racing game earlier this year. But that assessment may have been premature, as the studio has now unveiled its debut project, Clutch, and has a full trailer coming in the Summer Game Fest showcase on June 5.

A lot of what's happening at today's Sony State of Play showcase doesn't directly impact us, thanks to Sony's decision to cut back on PC game releases, but this one does: A new trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and also a release date that's a bit of a delay from what we expected.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, "a complete reimagining of the 1996 original Tomb Raider" done up in the new technology of Unreal Engine 5, was initially intended to be out this year. But during today's showcase, the release date was set for February 12, 2027, a couple months past that deadline.

Now that we're living in a KPop Demon Hunters and Jujutsu Kaisen world, yokai-smiting action game Kemuri should be a slam dunk

It's been a long two-and-a-half years of silence since a cinematic teaser for Kemuri hinted at what it would be about: hunting mythical demons in dense urban environments. Much of the interest in the game came from studio founder Ikumi Nakamura, who cut her teeth at Capcom and made herself known during a presentation for Tango Gameworks' Ghostwire: Tokyo. At Sony's State of Play today we finally got a chance to see what Kemuri really looks like, and dare I say it's kinda Suicide Squad, but... cool?

Funcom is adding a singleplayer mode to Dune: Awakening, and wow, the new features are definitely gonna bring me back to the game

We reported just a couple weeks ago that Dune: Awakening's director Joel Bylos didn't really consider the survival sandbox to be an MMO. And to double down on that, today we learned that Funcom is adding a new singleplayer mode in September.

Bandai Namco just stealth announced that one of the coolest Ace Combat games is coming to PC for the first time as a pre-order freebie

In a blink-and-you'd-miss-it announcement at Sony's State of Play on Tuesday, a game about Norse mythology—not the new God of War—slipped in between the louder and longer trailers for third-person action games. That game was Ace Combat Zero. It is 20 years old, and later this year it will be only the third game in the long-running series to arrive on PC.
Bandai Namco is offering up a port of Ace Combat Zero as a pre-order incentive for folks who splurge on the deluxe edition of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, which is out on both PS5 and Steam on October 1. It was originally a PS2 game, and has never gotten any sort of HD remaster treatment, let alone a PC release. Presumably it'll also be available for sale separately from the pack-in giveaway alongside AC8, and despite its age it may actually be the Ace Combat I'm more excited to play.
