It's become something of a Digital Foundry tradition to pull out all of the stops when a new first-party console exclusive arrives, especially from a developer with a rich history in elevating the state of the art. We plan to do exactly that with Naughty Dog's The Last of us Part 2 - one of the most technologically impressive games of the generation and a fitting farewell to PlayStation 4 from one of its most talented studios. However, stringent embargo conditions mean that this coverage will arrive the day the game launches. For now, video restrictions means that we can't show you any new game areas beyond those from the preview phase, and by extension, attempting to produce our style of video review would do the game a disservice as a result - we don't feel we can show you what makes this game great. Our choice is to wait until the embargo phase is over before delivering our (still spoiler-free) tech review coverage, but in the here and now, we can at least address platform comparisons and performance - and the picture here is rosey.

Those eager to learn more about Paper Mario: The Origami King ahead of its launch on Switch next month are in luck; Nintendo has released a five-minute gameplay deep-dive video thingy, touching on everything from combat mechanics to the long-awaited return of companions. As they say in the Mushroom Kingdom - let's a-go!

Sony Japan Studio's Astro Bot was a delightful surprise when it released on PSVR back in 2018, stealing hearts with its inventive 3D platforming and adorable robo-protagonist Astro. And now the latter is set to return in a pint-sized PS5 spin-off, launching with the console this "holiday".

After a relatively quiet update last month, Sea of Thieves is back with a big 'un next week, raining dread upon the ocean with the arrival of wraith-spewing ghost ships from beyond this earthly plane. And, perhaps even more excitingly, a whole new bunch of shanties are incoming so that pirates can fend of the inevitable dread with a bit of a tune.

UPDATE 7.38pm: It might have leaked all over the internet in a rather premature fashion thanks to the Microsoft Store, but now EA is ready to make Star Wars Squadrons official.

Up Close is a new, occasional and informal series here on Eurogamer, looking at the smaller points in games in greater amounts of depth. Covering anything from a single mechanic to a reoccurring theme, in praise or criticism, the aim is simply to look a little closer at the things that deserve our attention. Here's the previous entry: The supreme realism of Lonely Mountains: Downhill and A Short Hike.

One of the PlayStation 5 exclusives announced during Sony's reveal has an interesting heritage: it's from some of the key people behind WipEout.

As a Brighton boy, I grew up with seagulls. They didn't raise me, that would be weird, but they lived in the chimneys all around me and their barking is part of a comforting cacophony I like to call home.

Yes, we finally saw the console, we know what it looks like and how gigantic it is - but crucially, yesterday's PlayStation 5 reveal also delivered software and lots of it. It was our first opportunity to see the extent to which Sony and its partners delivered on the vision set out by Mark Cerny in the articles and presentations we'd seen so far. What we got was technologically astonishing in several places and diverse in scope, encompassing both console exclusives and an array of cross-generational releases. It was a flavour - a taste - of the next-gen experience to come a few short months from now.

UPDATE: Insomniac has said Spider-Man Miles Morales is a "standalone game" amid confusion about the nature of the title following Sony's PS5 reveal event.

If you're looking for a space exploration game to play after The Outer Worlds, perhaps Jett: The Far Shore could be the one to fill the void, as the trailer for the upcoming indie title looks rather promising.

After what felt like an eternal wait, last night we finally got a look at the PlayStation 5 - but something that really didn't take long was the appearance of hundreds upon hundreds of PS5 memes. As is tradition, the internet immediately came up with a range of extremely silly reactions to the console, and if your Twitter feed wasn't already full of them - well, let me help you out.

The Chinese Room has released Little Orpheus, a side-scrolling adventure game exclusively on Apple Arcade.

Around this time of year, like countless other Brits, I'd be packing up my car with a tent, a sleeping bag and a few crates of beer and making the drive across France to the greatest race of them all - in fact, I'd say it's one of the greatest sporting events of them all. But Le Mans, like every other big sporting event, isn't happening this June - for the first time since 1968, when civil unrest gripped France, the race has been pushed back to September. In its place, though, is something that promises to be pretty special - the Le Mans 24 Hours Virtual, an officially sanctioned esports event taking place in rFactor 2 in place of the traditional event this coming weekend.

Last night, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 5's elegant and contoured console design, which drew comparisons to a modern London skyscraper (as well as a BT Wi-Fi router).

Modders have had their fun with Nemesis from the Resident Evil 3 remake - and Mr. X from the Resident Evil 2 remake before it - for quite some time. But as a Street Fighter fan this latest mod caught my eye.

An early build of Gods & Monsters was available to play on Google Stadia last night, following a serious slip-up by the streaming platform.

Five of the Best is a weekly series about the small details we rush past when we're playing but which shape a game in our memory for years to come. Details like the way a character jumps or the title screen you load into, or the potions you use and maps you refer back to. We've talked about so many in our Five of the Best series so far. But there are always more.

UPDATE 12/6/20: The Pokémon Company will match Niantic's large donation of at least $5m following this year's Pokémon Go Fest live events.

UPDATE 12/06/20: Ron Johnson, the Riot Games executive who blamed George Floyd's death on his "criminal lifestyle" in a social media post, has now left the company.

The Double-A Team was formed with a certain kind of game in mind. The kind of game where a shaven-headed character takes on generic baddies, armed with a gimmick of some kind. Psionic powers, or a big hammer, or doves. We love these games, whole-heartedly and without irony. But sometimes it's nice to stretch the meaning of Double-A just a little.
