One of the first horror games for PlayStation 5 has received its first trailer. Developer TeamKill Media has released the first trailer for the “cosmic-horror” first-person shooter game Quantum Error.

The trailer looks impressive, but the studio cautioned that the footage was generated in-engine, and is a work-in-progress look at how the game is coming along. As such, it does not represent the final game, so keep that in mind when taking a look at the trailer.

Quantum Error is the second game from TeamKill, following their debut game, Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris. That title was released in 2018 for PS4 and PC.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is looking like, by far, the most detailed and meticulous flight sim ever made, but there will inevitably be a divide between players who want to take it very seriously and players who want to do loops and fly erratically. Now, in a new video, the game’s multiplayer features have been revealed–and it looks like Microsoft is planning to cater to all kinds of players.

By default, Microsoft Flight Simulator’s live servers will put you in a shared online world with not only other players, but AI replicas of real-world flight paths, meaning that you’ll be able to track the flights happening all over the world in real-time while flying yourself. Time and weather conditions will also be synced up with real-world conditions in Live Player mode, which can be entered seamlessly without needing to join or start a lobby.

The game will show off “most, if not all” airplanes that are in the air in the real world at any given time. But players can also choose to create their own conditions if they so desire, or make realism less of a priority.

Endzone: A World Apart is a post-apocalyptic settlement building game from German developer Gentlymad Studios. The game is set 150 years after a nuclear apocalypse, setting the player up as the leader of a group sent to recolonize Earth after living in underground bunkers called Endzones.

The hostile management sim tasks players with building a new settlement on the radiation-ravaged Earth, gathering resources to sustain it and surviving threats including droughts, sandstorms, toxic rain, and the latent radioactivity lurking in the ground.

With radiation being key to the themes of the game, Endzone has an in-depth system to manage it. Each tile has its own radiation level, and these can change over time with events like sandstorms.

Doom Eternal is off to a Hell of a good start, it seems. The game’s PC edition recorded almost 105,000 concurrent players on Steam recently after release. That’s a massive number, and to put it into further context, it’s more much higher than the reported all-time high concurrent player number for its predecessor, 2016’s Doom.

Benji Sales on Twitter crunched some numbers and reports that 105,000 concurrent players on Steam is far and away the biggest release for Bethesda in recent years. It surpasses peak concurrent player numbers on Steam for Doom 2016 (31,623), Dishonored 2 (22,269), Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (16,050), and The Evil Within 2 (9,846), according to Benji Sales’ numbers.

Steam’s own public statistics page shows Doom Eternal had more than 85,000 peak concurrent players on March 22, making it one of the top 15 most popular games on the service.

On March 23, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will officially be three years old, celebrating the anniversary of its 2017 beta release. While the battle royale market has become far more competitive since then, PUBG is still going strong with plans for updates, reworks, and new content in its fourth year.

In a blog post, the PUBG team has commemorated all the work that’s been done on the game in the past year, and gives us some idea of what to look forward to in the coming year..

First off the block is the re-worked Vikendi, the snow-covered map that was taken down earlier this year for renovations. The new version of the map, now featuring trains, has been play-tested in reduced circulation, and will be re-releasing again soon.

Guilty Gear Strive has a new trailer, and it brings with it two more characters. The latest characters shown off are, in Guilty Gear lore, a couple–Millia Rage and Zato-1. Millia still attacks with her hair, while Zato-1 can summon up shadows to fight for him.

The trailer shows off how these two characters fit into the Guilty Gear Strive art style, and how their moves have been adapted into the new game. Long-time fans of the series will likely see some familiar attacks in here.

You can watch them both in action below.

Millia and Zato-1 are not scheduled to appear in the game’s upcoming closed beta, which will begin on April 16.

Guilty Gear Strive is coming to PlayStation 4 and arcades later in 2020. The other fighters confirmed for the game so far are Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, May, Faust, Potempkin, Chipp Zanuff, and Axl Low.

Dauntless’s latest update is available now, adding a brand new Escalation quest that features the game’s biggest Behemoth yet.

The free-to-play game is often compared to Monster Hunter, with a focus on building epic loot from materials dropped by the epic beasts you can hunt. The newest update adds fiery versions of some of the game’s existing Behemoths, as well as a brand new monster as the boss of the gauntlet-like Escalation quest.

The update also adds new legendary weapons, armor and amps, as well as a new Hunt Pass called Searing Talons with even more exclusive gear. The Hunt Pass adds extra bonuses for players who pay for the Elite upgrade, as well as offering the ability to pay to skip through the levels for easier loot.

Microsoft’s online gaming network, Xbox Live, is experiencing increased demand as people stay home from work and school amid concerns around the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed this in a tweet, saying Xbox Live “usage is up on almost everything.” He went on to thank his operations and IT teams, and those working for “all the companies” that supply online services at this time.

Given how many workplaces and schools are closed due to the virus outbreak, it makes sense that internet usage overall would increase, and this includes gaming.

Control is getting its first of two major expansions on March 26 with The Foundation, and a first trailer has just been released. That date only applies to the PC and PS4 versions of the game, though–thanks to a timed exclusivity deal with Sony, Xbox One owners will have to wait until June 25.

The expansion will see Jesse heading into the eponymous location to stop the Astral Plane, which is threatening to consume the Oldest House. She’s seeking Helen Marshall, who has was presumed missing in the original campaign, and who pops up briefly in the trailer below.

Along with this expansion, a free update will also be dropping for all versions of the game. It will add a new ability, Shield Rush, as well as the option of reassigning your Ability Points to change your build mid-game.

As Phantasy Star Online 2‘s North American beta finally approaches, the team has announced the Ragol Edition, a pack that will include classic PSO outfits, Mag devices, accessories and more for $29.99.

The pack will launch with the Xbox One open beta on March 17, and is just one of many cosmetic packs that will be offered in the free-to-play game. Players on the Xbox One X will benefit from 4K graphics and an expanded UI display.

It’s no wonder Sega are catering to nostalgic players, with the original Phantasy Star Online no longer playable outside of private servers, and the wait for a PSO2 outside Japan stretching for over 8 years. Some lucky fans got their hands on the closed beta in February, but the play test lasted less than two days.
