For the past many years, Overwatch has been embracing all sorts of crossovers, from anime such as My Hero Academia to other video game IPs including Persona 5 and Diablo IV – to name a few. In a crossover which seemed inevitable, Square Enix’s NieR: Automata is set to collab with Overwatch; arriving next week.

Seemingly announcing the crossover prematurely, Blizzard published and then removed a YouTube Short confirming that “Project YoRHa initiates March 10!” – bringing a number of iconic characters from Automata into Overwatch through the release of new skins.

Based on the image shared, it appears as though 5 skins in total will be offered:

• Lifeweaver as Adam
• Vendetta as A2
• Wuyang as 9S
• Kiriko as 2B
• Mercy as the Yorha Commander

As of now, little else is known regarding the extent of this crossover. While it will most likely be nothing more than these skins, the game’s recent revamp does present an opportunity for these events to be more substantial.

We will have to wait and see when the Overwatch x NieR Automata crossover goes live on the 10th of March.

Warface is an oft-forgotten free-to-play FPS developed by Crytek of Crysis and the CryEngine fame. Launched all the way back in 2013, the title received pretty substantial updates over the years, adding a Battle Royale mode and eventually bringing the title over to the OG Switch (while also undergoing a number of development studio switch-ups). After over a decade of operation however, the current studio ‘MY.GAMES’ have now confirmed that the title will be shutting down.

Taking to their Steam page to make the announcement, the team at MY.GAMES wrote: “Friends! After many years together, we have made the difficult decision to begin the sunset process for Warface: Clutch. This choice was not easy for us — Warface: Clutch has been an important part of our journey, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported the game throughout its long life.”

Said to be sunset in order “to focus on future developments” all in-game purchases have now been disabled. While Warface remains playable for now, servers for PC players will be shut down on the 27th of May, followed shortly by the console version on the 25th of August.

Alongside the announcement, the team shared a lengthy FAQ, discussing the reasons for the game’s closure; refund policies and more, the full version of which can be found HERE.

While Warface launched at a time when it did have the potential to take on the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield, the industry as a whole has changed substantially in the decade+ since, and so it is not surprising to see Warface finally being sunset.

2015’s bloodborne is a beloved title, with the FromSoftware-developed PS4 exclusive being many fans’ favourite game from the studio. Despite this, we’ve seen nothing from the IP since its launch, with the game remaining locked to an uneven 30fps at just 1080p. Unfortunately, despite fan pleas, it seems things aren’t going to change, with insiders revealing that the ill-fated BluePoint Studios pitched Sony a Bloodborne remake before their closure – a pitch which was approved by Sony but rejected by FromSoft.

As reported by known industry insider Jason Schreier (paywalled), following the cancellation of BluePoint Games’ live-service God of War title, the studio pitched Sony a number of other potential projects. One of these was said to have been a remake of Bloodborne.

This would have made sense not only due to the fact that BluePoint Games were known best for their remakes, but also because their most recent remake was literally for Demon’s Souls – the first Soulsborne title developed by FromSoftware.

In a surprise reveal, Schreier claimed that “In early 2025, when Bluepoint again pitched the idea of Bloodborne remake, the studio was told that the numbers made sense but FromSoftware didn't want it to happen, according to people familiar with the process.”

While Sony owns the Bloodborne IP, the 2015 title was the result of a close collaboration between PlayStation and FromSoft. Additionally, Bloodborne as a game is near to Miyazaki’s heart, with the FromSoft head previously stating that the title is “the strongest reflection of my type of flavouring of a game that one can experience.”

Regardless, while a remake wouldn’t have been necessary, it makes little sense that Bloodborne has yet to receive a remaster consisting of a higher frame rate and increased resolution – especially as it would maintain all of Miyazaki’s work. For now, it seems the only way to experience an enhanced Bloodborne will be through emulation on PC.

For years now, fans have been wondering what Sony Santa Monica’s Cory Barlog has been working on, with previous leaks and rumours suggesting that it would be a new IP in a Sci-Fi setting. As we get closer to the project’s supposed reveal, insiders have claimed that Barlog’s upcoming game is in fact still set in the God of War universe – but will instead focus on Faye as the main character.

As reported by multiple insiders, the next project set to be announced by Sony Santa Monica will in fact be another God of War game; albeit not starring Kratos.

According to Wccftech and NatetheHate, this new project will serve as its own franchise, though will not include Kratos nor Atreus as the lead. Instead, this new franchise will follow Faye – Kratos’ wife and Atreus’ mother – presumably prior to her death.

Narrative-wise, very little has been shared, with Faye herself being a pretty mysterious character throughout the events of God of War Ragnarok. With regards to gameplay however, the insiders have suggested that it would “differ from the Norse God of War games with more of a focus on action.”

While much of the project remains a mystery, we hopefully won’t have to wait long to learn about the game officially, with the current plan reportedly being a reveal this year, followed by its launch in the first half of 2027.

While many were hoping to see Sony Santa Monica take a step away from God of War (at least temporarily), Faye as a character presents the team with tons of opportunities to take the series to new and unexpected places.
