So like… is this only for Xbox or did they say PlayStation too?
The “no slow breaks” line is kinda funny cuz I couldn’t even keep up. Little Nightmares DLC June 12?? I thought that game already came out last year lol
Wait I saw Arizona Sunshine mentioned but in my head it was like a mobile game? Maybe I’m mixing it up. Also June 11 to early 2027 is wild, that’s like a whole year of trailers
All these zombie remakes and horror returns and everyone’s acting surprised. I just want them to fix the servers first. Also “Gothic 1 Remake” sounds like a ripoff of the original, but I guess faithful reimagining or whatever.
