• The game features reworked systems and Unreal Engine 5 graphics
• Combat has been overhauled
• According to insider Nate the Hate (corroborated by VGC), the game is set for reveal in the coming weeks

Space Marine 3 Development Officially Underway

Hot on the heels of Space Marine 2’s success, Saber Interactive has announced that development on Space Marine 3 has officially begun. While no specific details were shared, the publisher Focus Interactive described it as “an even bigger and more spectacular game” and “a true love letter to the Warhammer 40K Universe.”

The announcement suggests that the gap between sequels will be much shorter this time, compared to the lengthy wait between the first and second games. Space Marine 2 provided a solid foundation with its gameplay, and fans are optimistic that the third installment could elevate the series even further.

Silent Hill F Reveals First Major Details

Konami has presented the first substantial details for Silent Hill F (pronounced “F” not “Effing”), the new entry in the legendary horror series. The game is set in Japan during the 1960s and features dual composers—one legendary and one newer—creating music for different “worlds” within the game.

The developers emphasized their intention to lean heavily into Japanese influences for this installment, noting that while Silent Hill games have always had unique Japanese elements in their storytelling and aesthetics, Silent Hill F will fully embrace this approach.

The reveal trailer showcased some familiar horror elements but impressed with its distinctive environments and monster designs. No release date has been announced yet, but the developers appear confident about the project’s direction.

Microtransactions Confirmed for New Skate Game

Gaming Trivia: Sony vs. Superbad

In an interesting piece of gaming-related movie trivia, Seth Rogen recently revealed that during the filming of Superbad, Sony (which produced the movie) didn’t want Jonah Hill’s character to physically interact with PlayStation products during a gaming scene with Michael Cera because they considered Hill’s character “too vile” to be associated with their brand.
