Horizon Hunters Gathering is officially stepping into the spotlight as a tactical co-op action game for up to three players—with teams squaring off against the franchise's signature deadly machines and leaning into coordination over lone-wolf heroics. The first look comes via PlayStation's announcement trailer, while VGC's coverage of the reveal frames it clearly as a "tactical co-op" entry set in the Horizon universe. If you want the fast, skimmable version, KAMI's post on X summarises the key beats in plain terms: three-player hunting, machines, and a new direction for the series' moment-to-moment structure.
Horizon Hunters Gathering is currently targeting PS5 and PC in 2026, and the smartest "download" move right now is simply to prep your wishlists and alerts—because once storefront pages go live, that's how you avoid missing betas, playtests, and launch-day preloads. On PlayStation, that means searching the PlayStation Store for Horizon Hunters Gathering and selecting "Wishlist" so the console can surface notifications when a release date, beta registration, or preload becomes available; on PC, you'll want to do the same on your platform of choice as listings appear. Until Guerrilla shares a specific date, the trailer and reporting are your best anchors for timing and expectations.
Crimson Desert's latest features overview puts combat variety and progression gating front and centre—and it's a reminder that you won't walk in fully loaded with every skill on minute one. In IGN's official "Combat and Progression" features overview video, Pearl Abyss highlights multiple weapon types and ability options while underlining the core loop: you earn power by playing, not by picking a class screen and magically having everything unlocked. That same overview stresses practical progression beats—like acquiring weapons from vendors and then hunting down materials from different sources to upgrade them—so gear growth is baked into exploration and engagement rather than a single straight line.
Crimson Desert is locked for release on 19 Mar 2026, and the most useful way to "download" this news into your routine is to track the features series and prep your platform storage early. Pearl Abyss has also said there will be a third and final features overview before launch, so if you like understanding how an action RPG will feel before you commit, this is the exact kind of developer communication to follow closely—especially if you care about weapon identity, skill acquisition, and how quickly the game lets you experiment. In the meantime, the simplest viewing path is to open the overview on YouTube, subscribe to the relevant channel feeds, and enable notifications so you catch that final features drop as soon as it lands.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is officially coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S on 03 Jun 2026, with Square Enix calling out hardware limits as the reason it's skipping Switch 1. The reveal arrives through Nintendo of America's Partner Showcase segment, and director Naoki Hamaguchi reinforces the date and platform expansion in his statement on X. The Switch 1 detail is important because it clarifies the decision wasn't casual: the team reportedly considered a cloud version but ultimately decided against it, choosing instead to focus on native releases where performance targets are achievable.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Switch 2 and Xbox versions will also include new assist modes aimed at onboarding new players, and you can plan your download path now even before storefront preloads go live. Once the store pages appear, the reliable approach is: search Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on your platform storefront, choose the edition tied to your console, and enable auto-download/preload so you're not stuck pulling a massive file on launch morning—especially relevant for RPG-sized installs. Looking slightly further ahead, Square Enix has also signalled that more information about Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is coming later this year, with IGN's report shared via X echoing the "more updates than ever before" message from Hamaguchi.
