Yooka-Laylee, Playtonic Games' crowdfunded indie throwback to 3D platformers, was one of many 2016 releases delayed to next year, but the team of ex-Rareware developers is still providing some interesting information to make the wait easier.
Though not without faults, and certainly not as impactful as the previous story arc's finale, A Journey's End is both a return to form and an enjoyable conclusion for Minecraft: Story Mode.
Fresh off of the latest look at Mass Effect: Andromeda at yesterday's PlayStation Meeting, the official UK PlayStation YouTube channel has posted a video interview with BioWare director Mac Walters, and it should interest fans curious about the series' new lead, Ryder.
Nintendo announced several new 3DS titles during today's Nintendo Direct stream, but the biggest surprise was saved for last. The publisher has revealed the first handheld entry in the Pikmin series, which is currently scheduled to launch exclusively on the 3DS in 2017.
Ubisoft released Rocksmith 2014 Edition back in 2013 to a positive reception, and has continued to release downloadable songs for the real guitar-based rhythm game on a consistent basis since. Now, almost three years after the game's original release, the publisher has announced plans to add some welcome new features to it, and best of all, it won't cost existing players a cent.
WB and NetherRealm have just released another promotional trailer for next year's Injustice 2 containing a pair of character reveals which Batman fans will likely be pleased by. Returning from the first Injustice will be Joker's iconic right-hand girl Harley Quinn, and the well-armed assassin Deadshot will make his first playable appearance in the series as well.
Despite some iffy visuals and tedious backtracking, Hiiro's calm gameplay and atmosphere, combined with a low asking price, results in an accessible adventure for platformer fans.

The latest major update to Grand Theft Auto Online will be a particularly exciting one for players who enjoy creating custom races via the in-game creation tools. A few weeks ago, Rockstar added the Cunning Stunts update to the game, introducing a slew of new races far more over the top and frenetic than previous fare. Now, the developer is providing the same assets and tools to players looking to incorporate them into the game's bevy of user-generated content, via the introduction of the Stunt Race Creator.
The latest major update for the Xbox One has officially begun to enter public release, as Microsoft has enabled many gamers to download the console's summer update, with all owners likely to gain access within the next few days. Microsoft previously announced the new features coming to the system in June, and appear to have made good on those promises. Perhaps the most enticing is the long-awaited return of background music, an option enabling users to play their own tracks while gaming that, while with the Xbox 360 from the start, took a lot longer to reach the XB1. It's worth noting that for now, only the Pandora app can be used for this, but other services like Groove Music and iHeartRadio will also be added in the future.
