inXile’s long-awaited Clockwork Revolution got a fresh new trailer, weaving a bit of story about a heist gone wrong before supernatural timey-wimey stuff kicks off.

Now set for a 2027 release, Microsoft has confirmed that this game will be an Xbox console exclusive, signifying a change in their cross-platform strategy, similar to the newly Xbox exclusive Gears of War E-Day.

The trailer blurb reads:

Change the past. Control the future.

When your gang’s heist goes sideways, you’re thrown back in time and discover your reality has been altered by the ruthless Lady Ironwood. In this first-person steampunk RPG, you’ll wield a powerful device to travel between past and present, rewriting the future of the city you call home—and changing the course of history however you see fit.

The game looks to have some of the tone and feel of BioShock Infinite, though it’s perhaps more deliberately off-kilter with its characters and scenarios that you’ll face.. There’s a somewhat dystopian looking clockwork world that you get to tear apart through the use of some crazy time travel shenanigans. You’ll be able to change the past, leading to a thoroughly different present. It all looks pretty great, if you ask me.

It seems Microsoft’s decision to make Gears of War E-Day an Xbox console exclusive really was a last-minute thing, and the game does exist on PS5. An official Xbox podcast, which is also a YouTube show, had the Gears of War E-Day trailer with the PS5 logo at the end.

Spotted by ResetEra user Jessie.Bristol, the video was quickly taken offline and made private, but not before screenshots were taken.

Microsoft have said the game is only coming to Xbox and PC.   A statement on Xbox Wire read, “As part of our focus on the return of XBOX, we also announced that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will be XBOX console exclusives. These are not timed exclusives. Games already announced for multiplatform releases will stick to that plan – we’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond.”

Square Enix has shared a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4, confirming that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, along with versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

We have not heard anything about the game for a very long time so a new trailer should be exciting. Unfortunately, it appears to be a slightly different version of the announcement trailer, iIt is set in the same location and shows the same giant creature attacking Sora.

Labelled as the ‘Lost Master Arc’, this will kick off a new narrative for the series, which had wrapped up many of the loose ends form the series.

For this new story arc, Sora arrives on a new world of Quadratum – also described as the ‘afterworld’ – a place that has a tone similar to the real world…. just with a horrifying black shape hanging in the sky above the Japan-like cityscape that morphs into a shadowy demonic figure and goes on a bit of a rampage. Of course, Sora leaps into action to try and save the day, his iconic Keyblade and all, grappling with world objects, running up buildings, launching midair attacks and more.

Here’s how Square Enix have described the new tale:

In the announcement trailer, Sora makes a triumphant return with an updated look at the beginning of an epic new storyline titled the “Lost Master Arc.” Beginning with Sora facing off in a boss battle against a giant enemy, players are introduced to the Quadratum, a large, expansive city set in a gorgeous, realistic world unlike anything ever seen before in the KINGDOM HEARTS series. Fans will be excited to see the return of Sora’s well-known companions Donald and Goofy, in addition to the first appearance of Strelitzia, a mysterious new character who appears before Sora in this strange new setting.

If you have ever watched your cat get distracted mid-zoomies by random stuff, you are going to love Pixar’s upcoming movie. Disney and Pixar have released the first trailer for Gatto, and it looks like a love letter to cats, Venice, and beautiful animation all rolled into one.

What is Gatto actually about?

Set in the canals of Venice, Gatto follows Nero, a black cat who has spent years navigating a city shaped by superstition. Nero is starting to wonder if he has been living his nine lives the right way. Things get complicated when he finds himself in debt to Rocco, a powerful feline mob boss. Nero’s life takes an unexpected turn when a surprising friendship pushes him toward a bigger purpose.

The trailer balances humor with heart, while the film’s mobster-cat setup adds a playful twist. Between the stunning artwork, Venice setting, and a cat leading the adventure, Gatto already feels like one of Pixar’s most unique originals in years, including this year’s Hoppers.

The Gatto trailer also introduces the film’s voice cast, with Mark Ruffalo voicing Nero and Laurence Fishburne playing Rocco. The film is directed by Enrico Casarosa and produced by Andrea Warren, the same team behind the Oscar-nominated Luca, also set in Italy.

What makes Gatto feel different from other Pixar movies?

Gatto is Pixar’s first-ever hand-painted animated feature that blends hand-painted textures with its signature CGI. It is a bold, creative swing from a studio that has leaned heavily on its glossy CGI identity for over 30 years.

For cat people, Pixar seems to understand exactly what makes felines fascinating. Nero is curious, stubborn, independent, and constantly finding trouble. He is also a black cat, a choice that ties directly into the story’s themes of superstition and belonging.

The movie arrives in theaters on March 5, 2027. If the trailer has done its job, you may already be counting down the days.

There’s a lot of expectation built up for Exodus, the big new sci-fi RPG coming from some of the key creative minds behind Mass Effect and KOTOR before it. At the Future Game Show, the team at Archetype Entertainment shared a long look at the gameplay, revealing a lot of new details about the game ahead of its planned release in early 2027.

Characters

The game casts players as Jun Aslan, an orphan from a once powerful family who is surviving as a salvager at the start of the game, but who ends up being humanity’s last hope to fight back the Celestials thanks to a genetic gift that lets him interact with ancient technology. To save your homeworld, you’ll have to steal Celestial tech, bring it back to your world, and give yourself a chance to survive.

At the start of the game, you get to pick Jun’s gender as male or female, and with “several options” for visual customisation. You’ll also choose an initial alignment, either as a Virtuous Paladin or Viscious Immortal.

Alongside Jun is his giant talking space wolf, Houston – immediately my favourite – but he soon builds up a broader crew of allies, including mech pilot Elise, and experienced Traveller Tom, who teaches Jun some about the job as one of those. Salt is then an Awakened octopus in a tentacular mech suit – immediately my second new favourite character – and there are other Awakened animals who you can converse with. Later in the video we meet Feydra Nath, a genius technician who suffers from blindness, but has developed new sight using drones.

Periodically, you’ll run into C.C. Orlev, voiced by Matthew McConaughey, who can give you aid in the form of upgrades and other helpers.

Combat

Combat definitely has a lot of the third person with a team style combat of Mass Effect, with Jun taking cover and blasting with guns, calling in attacks from allies, and making use of special abilities like a Scramble cloaking device that allows for closing distance quickly, an energy spear and more.

While an RPG with big ol’ health bars, it has a good bit of punch to it. You can spot and mark enemies while scoping out a mercenary camp with a turret in the middle. Careful not to raise the alarm, Jun’s upgraded Cycler gun for single-hit headshots. The turret was then weakened with a thruster grenade and taken out with further fire.

It’s agile third person combat, making use of grapple points to swing across gaps, using explosive barrels to deal elemental damage and more.

In addition to mercenaries, one of the main enemies you’ll face are the robotic Ghosts.

Celestial Tech

With his ability to tap into Celestial technology, Jun is able to manipulate ancient devices and machinery in various ways. This can play into key decision points, such as when (having already disabled turret defences) being given the choice to open an airlock or not, potentially killing dock workers.

On the planet Sang, you’re able to manipulate the shapeable livestone to cross sulphur lakes and other ancient Celestial formations. This ability to shape the world can also be used in combat, shooting out a rapid growth from the ground.

A lot of this is dependent on Jun’s gauntlet, which was passed down to him and can be upgraded with technology found on the journey, unlocking new abilities, such as the aforementioned Lance, which can pierce and destroy the Bramble, which is a byproduct of the Rot.

The Story

Jun’s homeworld of Lyden is at risk of being consumed by the Rot, a Celestial virus that is able to rewrite and use Celestial tech in its own way. Between missions you’ll return to this world and the main hub city of Persepolis to pick up new missions, meet new people and advance the story. One factor here is that, with Exodus leaning on the theoretical science surrounding galactic space travel, you’re subject to time dilation, so years can pass while you and your team experience days. Your choices can shape this city over time.

You have to travel across the Centauri cluster to find a possible cure for the Rot. You’ll be following in the footsteps of other Travellers that went before you, such as Feydra’s grandfather, Elijah, who disappeared decades ago. Following this plotline eventually leads to a difficult choice that can lead to a key death in your party.

Exodus’ showing looked excellent, and while the morality system is as classically polar as it gets, the story intrigue, the moment-to-moment decisions, the combat and Celestial abilities all look brilliant. We look forward to seeing more as the team close in on their Early 2027 release window.

One of the most charming games showcased during The MIX Summer Games Showcase 2026 was Twinkle’s Galactic Tour, a colorful new platforming adventure from the creators of Frogun.

The game follows Twinkle, an aspiring singer whose debut concert goes spectacularly wrong when her audience ends up scattered across the galaxy. Determined to bring everyone back together, she embarks on a journey across multiple planets filled with secrets, challenges, and plenty of music.

Enemy behavior, platform movement, and collectibles all sync with the soundtrack, creating levels that feel alive and constantly moving to the beat. Rather than being a traditional rhythm game, it blends those musical elements with classic 3D platforming and exploration.

The newly released trailer also showcased the game’s eye-catching visual style. Inspired by 90s anime and classic low-poly aesthetics, the worlds are packed with colors, expressive characters, and nostalgic charm.

Beyond the platforming stages, you will also visit larger city hubs where you can meet characters, tackle side activities, and uncover more about the galaxy.

Twinkle’s Galactic Tour doesn’t have a release date yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam. Here’s the new trailer:
