Key Takeaways

• Dying Light The Beast has been delayed.
• The two player mode of Elden Ring Nightreign.
• The release date of Code Violet has been announced.

📺 Code Violet Release Date Announcement

Code Violet releases on November 14, 2025. The spiritual successor to the beloved Dino Crisis series, Code Violet promises tense atmosphere, classic survival-horror mechanics, and a fresh storyline that will tug at the nostalgia strings of veteran players. Fans first caught a glimpse of its atmospheric corridors and mutant dinosaurs in the official announcement trailer on YouTube published by PlayStation. Pre-orders are already live for PS5, and digital storefronts on PC and Xbox Series X|S will open soon, so mark your calendars now.

How to prepare for Code Violet's arrival. If you've never braved the labs of Ilha Da Páscoa in Dino Crisis, now's the perfect time to replay the classics and reacquaint yourself with voice-command puzzles and limited inventory slots. Gamers should ensure they have at least 50 GB of free space on their consoles or PC, and a stable internet connection for day-one patches and potential DLC drops. Whether you're aiming for achievement trophies on PS5 or Steam Trading Cards on PC, Code Violet's multi-platform launch offers something for every collector.

📺 Elden Ring Nightreign Two-Player Duos Mode

Elden Ring Nightreign introduces two-player duos mode on July 30, 2025. After months of community speculation, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware officially revealed the new duos experience in their Two Player Mode Trailer. This shift from the traditional three-player coop allows for more strategic synergy between partners—imagine one player tanking with a colossal greatsword while the other supports with healing flasks and ranged sorceries.

How to jump into Nightreign duos mode. To access the new feature on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation, simply download the latest update on launch day—July 30—and load into any cooperative session. You'll now see a "Duos" option in the multiplayer menu; invite a friend via their friend list or use the matchmaking lobby to join up. IGN's breakdown of the update covers balance changes and class tweaks for duo play, ensuring both melee and spell-casting builds remain viable in this more intimate team size.

📺 Dying Light The Beast Delayed

Dying Light The Beast delayed to September 19, 2025. Techland announced via their Summer Game Fest gameplay premiere trailer that the next parkour-horror expansion needs extra polish before release. Originally slated for an earlier date, the delay affects all platforms—PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5—and is intended to ensure smoother animations, richer enemy AI, and a more stable end-game experience.

Why additional polish is critical for Dying Light The Beast. According to the official tweet from the Dying Light account on X, the development team is "taking extra time to perfect the ‘Beast' transformation mechanics and co-op integration", which suggests major quality-of-life improvements. Fans should clear at least 30 GB of storage ahead of launch and back up their save files. With four expansions already expanding the base game, The Beast aims to deliver the most ambitious content drop yet—complete with nighttime terror sequences, a revamped skill tree, and new weapon archetypes.
