Steins;Gate 0, the sequel to the grammatically confusing sci-fi visual novel Steins;Gate, is coming to Europe and North America on PS4 and Vita later this year via publisher PQube.

UPDATE 28/05/2016 12.29am: No Man's Sky has just been officially delayed until 9th August, as can be seen on its new PlayStation listing.

Fallout 4 mods will be available on Xbox One next Tuesday, 31st May.

Rockstar will deploy one of its biggest ever expansion to Grand Theft Auto Online on 7th June.

Remember those guys from the opening screen of Street Fighter 2? Finally, their identity has been revealed.

Remember War for the Overworld, the spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper that came out in 2015? A big new expansion for it goes live tonight at 7pm.

In 2009 the developers who made the well received Wii game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories moved onto what promised to be a much larger, much more ambitious game for multiple platforms. That game was a brand new, single-player, story-driven Legacy of Kain, the kind of project fans of the vampire action series have clamoured for ever since its glory days on the PSone.

After years of waiting, legendary PlayStation project The Last Guardian will finally launch this year.

Announced back at E3 2015 but barely glimpsed since, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is back on the scene.

Now that everyone's in slightly less of a flap about its episodic release structure, one thing's become very clear: IO's Hitman reboot might well be seeing Agent 47 at his very best.

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens season pass has been detailed - and you'll need it to play a selection of Jedi characters including Samuel L. Jackson aka Mace Windu.

The upcoming Blood and Wine expansion for The Witcher 3 has some of the most striking areas seen running on REDengine 3, and for those who felt The Witcher 3 fell short of its ambitious E3 showings, it marks a strong comeback. Set around the richly detailed, rose-adorned kingdom of Toussaint, its central castle has parallels with the bustling Novigrad city of the main game. That original Novigrad area came under scrutiny at the game's launch - serving as an example of how CD Projekt Red's vision had changed by release. Can Toussaint be a redemptive moment for the studio?

Minecraft's console versions are getting a new mode next month, and a new way for Microsoft to monetise the game.

Trawl is a game about trying to make sense of things. It's about trying to make sense of the controls of your small boat, which chugs around a midnight ocean as you gather strange objects from the seabed. It's a game about trying to make sense of these objects, too, working out what story they might ultimately be able to tell you. And, at the end of it all, you are asked to do something that no game I have ever played has asked me to do before: you are asked to write a note about what you have experienced, stick it in a bottle, and then toss it into the ocean.

There are whispers and speculation but I can tell you Cyberpunk 2077 will definitely not be at E3 this year. That comes from the horse's mouth: CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski himself.

PlayStation 4 has now sold more than 40m units worldwide.

A Blizzard game at 60fps: we wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks to a recent preview event showing PS4 and Xbox One beta versions of Overwatch, it's clear the developer's new hero FPS is a strong performer on console. All three versions (including PC) are slated for a May 24th launch, and 60fps is a very viable target on Sony and Microsoft's machines - something borne out in our tests below.

I'm smitten by Overwatch and played feverishly through closed beta, and I learned a few things along the way. I thought I'd share them here - a few tips, if you like, to help with the open beta, which begins today (and runs until Monday 9th).

Overwatch's recent open beta was quite unlike any other. Barring the inclusion of competitive play, users were actually sampling the game in its entirety, with any improvements or alterations set to arrive via future updates. As Blizzard said, aside from some bug-fixes, "the version you are playing now is what will go live at launch."

When you hit an enemy in Overwatch it needs to sound satisfying, right? That was the challenge facing sound designer, Paul Lackey, in the early stages of the game's development. 'What sounds truly satisfying?' he found himself thinking, as he grabbed a drink one evening after work. Overwatch's hit pip is now a reversed audio clip of the wonderful "pssht" noise that comes with opening a beer bottle. Of course it is.

Overwatch's open beta had an astounding 9.7m players globally when it premiered last week on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Blizzard has confirmed its stance on cheating in Overwatch, stating that any player using hacks, bots, or third-party software will be "permanently banned" from the game.

Peppy online shooter Overwatch comes from developer Blizzard, who you may remember from such games as StarCraft, World of Warcraft, Diablo and Hearthstone.

Blizzard may unveil a new Overwatch hero called Sombra on Monday, who may even be Pharah's mother - a former agent of Overwatch whose whereabouts have never been explained. Sombra appears to have a long-range weapon and there's speculation she may play a support role.

Blizzard's latest marketing stunt has seen the publisher release a series of oversized Overwatch sculptures around the world.
