Coffee Stain Studios is skipping straight to Goat Simulator 3.

As announced at the Summer Game Fest, Coffee Stain Studios is following up their viral hit Goat Simulator with, not Goat Simulator 2, but Goat Simulator 3.

Just as the first Goat Simulator parodied the famous Dead Island trailer, Goat Simulator 3's official trailer was a spoof on the eight-year-old trailer for Dead Island 2, which has disappeared from the public eye.

In a double spoof, Goat Simulator 3 is taking a jab at the long wait time by going straight to the third entry.

Despite the name "simulator" Goat Simulator is anything but. Play as a goat, create havoc around town, strap on a jetpack and go to space, you know, normal goat things.

Head-butt through the world, play minigames, and join up with friends in four-player multiplayer.

A new trailer for Marvel’s Midnight Suns has revealed that Spider-Man will be a playable hero in the game, as well as an October release date.

Shown during the Summer Games Fest Showcase, the cinematic trailer revealed a new hero that will be an unlockable character for your team roster: Spider-Man. Even better, he'll be voiced by Yuri Lowenthal (although he's not playing the same Spider-Man as he does in the PlayStation games, this is not a crossover or set in the same slice of the Marvel multiverse.) We were also provided Midnight Suns’ release date: October 7, 2022.

That release date covers the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC versions. Midnight Suns will also release on Nintendo Switch, but at a later date.

The trailer for developer Firaxis’ tactical RPG based on Marvel’s darker storylines also showed off main villain Lilith, the Mother of Demons, who was accompanied by corrupted versions of Venom, Sabertooth, Scarlet Witch, and the Hulk. Playing as a new, original superhero known as The Hunter, it will be your job to assemble a group of heroes to take down Lilith and her Hydra allies. Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Blade will be some of the numerous Marvel heroes available for your team roster.

“We know fans have been eager to see what’s coming next for Marvel’s Midnight Suns,” said Jake Solomon, Creative Director at Firaxis Games. “We’re honored by the opportunity to introduce so many new heroes and villains to Marvel fans and can’t wait for tactics players to discover the joys of fighting like a Super Hero in Marvel’s Midnight Suns!”

Midnight Suns is now available to pre-order in four different variations. The Standard Edition, retailing for $59.99, is just the base game, but only on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions, which have new console optimisations and five premium cosmetic skins, you’ll need to get the ‘Enhanced Edition’, which costs an extra ten bucks at $69.99. Pay $79.99 and you can get the Digital+ Edition on all formats, and it includes 11 premium cosmetics. Finally, the $99.99 Legendary Editions have 23 cosmetic skins and the Marvel’s Midnight Suns Season Pass. No details have yet been revealed about what the season pass will provide.

Marvel's Midnight Suns was first announced last year at Gamescom Opening Night Live after being leaked prior to the show. It's a tactical game similar to XCOM, but with a card battler system that ties character abilities to cards in a deck, similar to Slay the Spire. Fortunately, it doesn't involve loot boxes.

Though previously slated for this past March, Midnight Suns was delayed into the second half of 2022, which publisher Take-Two attributed to the increasing difficulty of making games as technology has improved.

For more Marvel’s Midnight Suns, check out some Wolverine vs Sabertooth gameplay. And for more from this month’s explosion of game announcements, check out the Summer of Gaming 2022 schedule, and everything announced at Summer Game Fest Showcase 2022.

Frost Giant, a studio made up of ex-Blizzard staff, has announced Stormgate, a new real-time strategy set in a post-apocalyptic future.

Revealed as part of the Summer Game Fest Showcase, our first look at Stormgate is via a cinematic trailer that shows an archeologist piecing together an ancient shield. Her discovery is quickly interrupted by demonic forces, although thankfully a mech-clad ally with rockets and miniguns is able to save our hero from a grisly fate.

Alongside the trailer, Frost Giant has revealed that Stormgate is a PC real-time strategy that will be free-to-play. It will have both a story-driven campaign and multiplayer modes, with co-op play integrated across the entire game. Campaign missions can be played with a friend, while a 3vE mode allows three players to team up against AI enemies. While classic 1v1 ranked matches form the backbone of competitive multiplayer, 3v3 team battles allow co-op elements to be found in the PvP side of Stormgate.

Stormgate will also feature an in-game editor to allow custom games to be made by players and shared among the community. Other features include a fully-integrated tournament system for in-client esports, and the ability to spectate matches and use learning tools to enhance your own skills.

The game’s lore begins hundreds of years into the future, when humanity’s homeworld has been near-destroyed by the Infernals, a race of alien demons that emerged from portal-like Stormgates. The Infernals are set to return and threaten the remnants of humanity, and so should mankind wish to succeed in rebuilding its home, it’s going to need a whole lot of mechs.

“The Stormgate universe’s combination of science fiction and fantasy, along with our focus on character driven narratives, will provide years of storytelling opportunities for our players to enjoy,” said Tim Campbell, president and game director at Frost Giant Studios. “Our team is building a best-in-class real-time strategy game that will continue the RTS tradition of high-skill competitive play while innovating in areas such as user interface and co-op to make the genre more approachable than ever before.”

Campbell is just one of Frost Giant’s staff who previously worked at Blizzard. Campbell worked on Warcraft 3 back in the day, while CEO Tim Morten was previously production director on StarCraft 2. The pair are joined at Frost Giant by a group of Blizzard RTS veterans.

Beta testing is set to start in 2023. Gameplay has yet to be shown, but more will be revealed at the PC Gaming Show on June 12. For more information on the month’s events, check out our Summer of Gaming 2022 schedule. And for all the reveals today, check out everything announced at Simmer Game Fest Showcase 2022.

Routine has been re-revealed, a decade after being announced – it's now coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One (and will launch into Game Pass).

Shown at Summer Game Fest, a trailer began with a creepy VHS vibe, before progressing to an even creepier "this space station is haunted by big chittering robots" vibe. Doom 2016 composer Mick Gordon provides the score.

The new synopsis reads, "Routine is a first-person sci-fi horror game. Set inside an abandoned Lunar base designed around an 80’s vision of the future, players will explore the decrepit station looking for answers about the events that unfolded there. Armed only with a Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.), to interact with the various computer systems, players must navigate whatever unknown dangers still remain."

Routine was announced in 2012, it's not clear exactly how much has changed since that original reveal, but publisher Raw Fury says developer Lunar Software has "has rebuilt the game from the ground up to align with the experience they originally set out to deliver."
