S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will make its long-awaited debut on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro sometime in 2025. This confirmation comes directly from developer GSC Game World, who recently shared a detailed development roadmap outlining their future plans for the atmospheric first-person shooter. The update reveals that the team intends to upgrade the game to Unreal Engine 5.5.4, aiming to improve optimization across platforms and deliver a smoother, more visually stunning experience.
The PlayStation launch is set to follow the PC and Xbox Series X|S versions, expanding the game's reach beyond its initial platforms. If you haven't yet seen the grim, irradiated landscapes and tense firefights that define the title, the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl launch trailer captures its haunting atmosphere and meticulous detail. With the engine upgrade and added content promised in the roadmap, fans can expect an even more immersive journey into the Zone once the game lands on Sony's consoles.
Wuyang, the latest hero in Overwatch 2, is set to make his limited-time debut between August 14-18, 2025, before joining the roster permanently in Season 18. Players eager to test his abilities will want to log in during the preview window, as this will be the first opportunity to experience his unique combat style before he becomes a full-time character. Blizzard has unveiled a first look in the official Wuyang gameplay trailer, showcasing his tactical moves and sleek design.
The arrival of a new hero always sparks excitement within the Overwatch community, and Wuyang's temporary trial ensures early adopters get a competitive edge before the broader player base catches on. Whether you prefer fast-paced DPS skirmishes or coordinated team pushes, incorporating Wuyang into your strategy could shake up your matches. Mark your calendars for mid-August if you want to be among the first to master his playstyle ahead of the Season 18 rollout.
Speculation is running high in the survival horror community after the release of Resident Evil Requiem, with rumors pointing to remakes of Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero. According to a report from Insider Gaming, both games are allegedly in development and could release in 2027 and 2028, though no specific order has been confirmed. As with any unverified claim, fans are advised to take the news cautiously until official announcements are made.
For longtime fans, the thought of revisiting these classic entries with modern visuals is thrilling. Code Veronica's intense atmosphere and Zero's unique partner-switching mechanic made them standout chapters in the series' early history. You can revisit their original style through the Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD launch trailer and the Resident Evil 0 launch trailer, both of which show why these games left such a lasting mark. Should Capcom follow through, 2027 and 2028 could be a golden stretch for horror fans.
