Recently, Capcom teased that Resident Evil Requiem would be getting DLC soon. Now just as promised, that DLC has been announced, bringing a new mode to the game titled Leon Must Die Forever. 

Players can unlock Leon Must Die Forever by completing the main Resident Evil Requiem campaign. Once that is done, you can play this new fast-paced action mode with Leon, where you must make it to the end of the level alive and take down a boss within a time limit.

Leon Must Die Forever is a separate mode to the main story. However, the development team is also working on new story content as well, which will likely be paid DLC, rather than a free update.

KitGuru Says: Will you be loading Resident Evil Requiem back up to try out this new game mode? 

GeIL has introduced what it claims is the first DDR5 memory to run at 8000MT/s entirely through JEDEC SPD, enabling true plug‑and‑play operation without XMP profiles or BIOS tuning.

The new modules embed their full 8000MT/s speed directly into the JEDEC specification, so the complexity of navigating the BIOS is taken out of the equation entirely for the end user. The memory is optimised for the latest Intel systems, including Z890 and B860 motherboards.

GeIL is also expanding its DDR5 lineup with the AQUARIUS Diamond RGB series, featuring a diamond‑cut light bar and aluminium heatsink in Graphite Black or Glacier White. The refractive lighting design aims to create a crystalline effect, something that only one other major memory maker currently does.

We will get a closer look at all of GeIL's new memory products at Computex next month, so expect more news soon.

KitGuru Says: A lot of people do buy high-speed memory and then forget to go into the BIOS to turn on the XMP profile, so it would be nice to see something like this become more common.

Lian Li has announced the DK‑07 WOOD, an upgraded version of its motorised standing desk that doubles as a full PC chassis. You'll have to be prepared to pay for such a setup though, as it carries a $1,399.99 price tag at launch. 

The DK‑07 WOOD features a real‑wood tabletop in a dark walnut finish, paired with a large tempered‑glass window that reveals the system below. A sliding front panel allows the glass top to be lifted for easier access to components, while discreet drawers and a clean exterior aim to position the desk as both a workstation and a showcase build.

Internally, the desk uses modular, removable motherboard trays that support up to E‑ATX boards and allow systems to be assembled outside the chassis before installation. GPU clearance extends to 383mm, with support for horizontal or vertical mounting. Cooling capacity is extensive, including support for multiple large radiators and up to 17 cooling fans.

You can see the full spec sheet in the table below:

The Lian Li DK‑07 WOOD will be available in the US and Europe starting this week, priced at $1,399.99, or £1,199.99 here in the UK.

It has been over a decade since the release of Bioshock Infinite and there has been little public progress towards a new game during that time. In a recent interview, Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, actually addressed the state of the Bioshock IP, confirming that the new game is in a good place. 

Development on the next Bioshock game was publicly announced in 2019 as part of a recruitment drive, but the game lingered in development hell for years afterwards. As pointed out by VGC, last year, Take-Two appointed new leadership at the studio, including former Blizzard executive, Rod Fergusson, to right the ship.

In an interview with Game File, Zelnick said that he was “feeling a lot better” about the next Bioshock game after recent changes. He did also confirm that the company “wasted a lot of time and money chasing down some creative alleys that turned out to be dead ends” but added that this is the “nature of entertainment”.

During the Xbox 360 era, Bioshock was hailed as one of the best IP of the generation. Unfortunately, we didn't get a new Bioshock game during the entire Xbox One / PS4 generation and right now, the IP looks to be on track to skip Xbox Series / PS5 too, as next-gen consoles are expected within the next couple of years.

KitGuru Says: Bioshock was too good for it to remain dormant for this long. Hopefully at some point in the next couple of years, we'll finally get a preview of what to expect from the next game. 

In recent weeks there have been several Halo leaks. First, we heard that the Halo 1 Remake would contain some new missions and enemy types not previously seen in the first game. Then, we heard that Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes are supposedly in the works. Now, we've got our first rumours about the next mainline Halo game. 

Despite campaign remakes and a multiplayer spin-off being the closest new Halo projects, the team at Halo Studios is also actively working on the next mainline game. According to Rebs Gaming, Joe Staten recently held a meeting at Halo Studios to discuss the future direction for the story, indicating plans to focus on The Endless and new enemy types, rather than go for an easy win like bringing back The Flood.

The YouTuber also points to a new job listing at Halo Studios. The company is now seeking a Narrative Design Director to work on what it refers to as Halo Next. The codename clearly indicates that the next mainline Halo game, the sequel to Halo Infinite, is in the works.

It is entirely unclear when the next mainline Halo game will actually release. Microsoft is currently gearing up for its next-generation console, codenamed Project Helix, with rumours pointing to a 2027 launch. That means the next mainline Halo game may not be ready for the launch window, but it should still land within the first couple of years of the console's lifecycle. Insider Gaming reports that the game has been in development since 2022.

KitGuru Says: It has been almost five years since Halo Infinite, so it is about time we started hearing whispers about a new mainline game. 

Just as leaks predicted, Nintendo does have a new Star Fox game on the way. The new game, simply titled Star Fox, is a bit of a reset for the series, acting as a full modern remake of Star Fox 64 and reintroducing the core characters for a new audience. 

Star Fox for the Nintendo Switch 2 will be the first game in the series in more than a decade. The game offers players a new cinematic take on Star Fox 64, complete with fully voiced dialogue, a new orchestral soundtrack, fresh cutscenes and more.

There are three main modes for Star Fox, a campaign, a challenge mode for testing your skills in mission replays and a battle mode for competing in 4v4 multiplayer fights.

There is no final release date for Star Fox just yet but the game is expected to be available later this year, potentially as early as this Summer. This year's big holiday season game for Nintendo is expected to be a new Zelda title.

KitGuru Says: Star Fox has returned, just as rumours predicted. Considering the character's appearance in the main cast of the Super Mario Galaxy movie, the timing couldn't be more perfect. 

ARCTIC has expanded its P12 Pro lineup with the new P12 Pro LN series, a low‑noise variant tuned for quieter operation while maintaining high airflow and strong static pressure. The LN models run between 450–2000rpm with a 0dB fan‑stop mode below 5% PWM.

The P12 Pro LN range includes standard, PST daisy‑chainable, and A‑RGB versions, all featuring a redesigned frame with tighter manufacturing tolerances to improve efficiency against restrictive surfaces such as radiators, mesh panels, and fan grills.

ARCTIC says the reduced gaps, automatic balancing and fluid dynamic bearing help minimise vibration and motor noise, while a new rotor design improves airflow at lower speeds. A SOTA microcontroller compensates for resistance‑induced speed drops and protects against inrush current and reverse polarity.

Performance is rated at 49 CFM, 3.5 mmH₂O of static pressure, and a PWM‑controlled speed curve optimised for silent operation. The PST LN model adds ARCTIC’s familiar daisy‑chain system for synchronised control across multiple fans, while the A‑RGB LN variant includes 12 ARGB LEDs with 3‑pin in/out connectors.

The full P12 Pro LN series is available now through ARCTIC’s webshop and Amazon, although you can get up to a 40% discount if you buy through Arctic directly.

Ever since taking over Xbox a couple of months ago, new CEO, Asha Sharma, has been on a mission to win back ‘core' fans. So far, we've seen Game Pass prices drop and a promising effort to rebrand Xbox ahead of the next-gen console launch. Now, Sharma is ending development for Copilot on Xbox.

Over the past few months, Microsoft has done a rather drastic 180 on its AI ambitions. For a time, the company was trying to force Copilot-driven AI features into everything, from the majority of native Windows apps to Xbox consoles.

When Sharma was announced as the new CEO of Xbox, fans were initially uneasy due to her prior experience working in Microsoft's AI division. However, she said at the time that she had no interest in forcing AI use. Now, she is backing that up by ending development on Copilot for console.

Amid the announcement of several executive-level promotions, Sharma said in a social post today: “You’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.”

At a time, Microsoft wanted to reenvision Copilot as an interactive guide for gamers but many fans were uninterested in seeing Copilot on console. On top of that, many Windows users had grown frustrated at the amount of forced Copilot features now in a number of apps, causing Microsoft to reverse course and begin an effort to de-bloat Windows.

KitGuru Says: Ultimately, in order for Xbox to truly turn things around it needs hit games. Hopefully upcoming titles like Fable, Forza Horizon 6 and Gears E-Day all hit the mark.

Back in 2010, Eugen Systems launched its military RTS game R.U.S.E., published by Ubisoft. Unfortunately, the game was short-lived, as it was delisted from digital storefronts like Steam in 2015. Now, Eugen Systems is bringing the game back and has given it a surprise re-release on Steam.

After being unavailable digitally for years, Eugen Systems has been able to bring back its cult-classic RTS game. The Steam re-launch appears to have gone well, with recent reviews sitting at an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive' overall score.

This isn't just the 2010 game brought back as-is, Eugen Systems has given the game a number of updates to ensure it runs on modern systems and takes advantage of the latest hardware. The game is also Steam Deck compatible and all DLCs are now unlocked for free.

Anyone who already owned R.U.S.E. on Steam before it was delisted will continue to have access to the game and all of the latest updates.

Just weeks ago, MindsEye shipped a new DLC, allegedly parodying the ‘sabotage' effort that took place against the game while in development. Now, Build a Rocket Boy is reportedly undergoing a massive downsizing. 

According to a Kotaku report, Build a Rocket Boy is letting go of around 170 staff members. VGC points out that layoffs are confirmed by employee LinkedIn posts, as well as messages on the official MindsEye Discord server by community managers.

MindsEye just received its latest DLC last month, on April 28th. In the DLC you play as Julia Black, a fictional assassin sent to Redrock City to take out two targets. During the mission you uncover a rogue influencer agency and references to a corporate sabotage event. Previously, Build a Rocket Boy executives have alleged that a competitor paid for a smear campaign against MindsEye ahead of its launch.

It would seem that the new DLC was not the turning point for MindsEye, although the exact reasoning for the layoffs has not been shared. Build a Rocket Boy CEO, Mark Gerhard, said as recently as March that the sabotage effort against the company was now undergoing a criminal investigation.

KitGuru Says: The recent review scores for MindsEye have been positive on Steam, but the volume of reviews is still very low, which would indicate that few returned for the new DLC. 

The new Steam Controller launched on Monday as planned, but it sold out instantly and ended up in the hands of a number of scalpers trying to charge hundreds for it. Valve has admitted that demand was higher than it expected, but more stock is on the way. 

In a message shared on social media, Valve said that the Steam Controller “ran out faster than we anticipated”, adding that the company hates that “not everyone who wanted one was able to get it”.

While some are now trying to flip the Steam Controller for hundreds of pounds in the UK, with similar pricing hitting the US and other regions, there is no need to pay these extortionate prices. Valve says that more stock is on the way and a timeline will be dropping soon.

Valve also appears to be preparing for its other hardware launches at the moment, with import records showing that tonnes of ‘game consoles' arrived on US shores this month.

KitGuru Says: Did you try to buy a Steam Controller at launch earlier this week? 

Aside from 007 First Light and continued development on Hitman: World of Assassination, IO Interactive does have one other game in the works. Codenamed Project Fantasy, this is supposed to be a fantasy-themed action game. 

Project Fantasy has been named in leaks before, but IO Interactive CEO, Hakan Abrak, addressed the topic head-on in a recent interview with The Game Business, describing the game as “in a very healthy place”, despite some turbulence last year with losing a partnership.

While Abrak did not name the partner that pulled funding in the interview, it is widely believed to have been Xbox, as early rumours about the game had linked Xbox to the project.

Abrak did confirm that IO Interactive has secured new funding for the game.

Project Fantasy is still in early development, with the bulk of IO Interactive currently focused on polishing up 007 First Light and getting it ready for launch later this month.

KitGuru Says: It will be interesting to see what IO Interactive can do with the fantasy genre, although it could be a few more years until this game is ready to be announced properly. 

Not all fans were impressed with the reveal for Horizon Hunters Gathering, but development has continued. The latest closed playtest is now due to take place, with Sony inviting fans to sign up to participate. 

The next playtest for Horizon Hunters Gathering will take place from May 22nd to May 25th. Fans can register to the PlayStation Beta Program to sign up for playtests like this. A new teaser trailer also dropped alongside the playtest news:

As much as I still don't like the art direction for this game, I do think the gameplay here is looking better than the initial reveal.

Horizon Hunters Gathering is a new multiplayer spin-off set in the Horizon Zero Dawn universe, developed by Guerrilla Games. Many fans have criticised the game for its change in art style versus the mainline Horizon titles, as well as its perceived similarities to games like Dauntless.

With that said, if the game is fun, it will ultimately find an audience, although participants in the upcoming playtest will likely be subject to an NDA. It is unclear when this game will come out but it is expected to release sometime this year.

Last night, the Steam Controller officially hit the Steam store and immediately sold out. Scalpers are already trying to sell the gamepad for far above its market value, but a new wave of stock could be landing soon, as import records indicate that Valve is preparing to launch the Steam Machine or Steam Frame very soon. 

According to import records seen by The Verge, since the start of May, Valve has imported nearly 50 tonnes of ‘Game Console' product into the US. This would indicate that the Steam Machine (or potentially the Steam Frame) will be launching soon, as Valve is actively readying stock.

Valve originally planned to launch the Steam Machine, Steam Frame and the new Steam Controller by March 2026, but due to volatility in the memory market driven by unprecedented demand from AI data centres, all three products were delayed. The Steam Controller eventually launched on its own as a standalone product this week but instantly sold out, indicating either extraordinary demand or low volume. Valve may have opted to reserve some Steam Controller supply to drop around the same time as its other devices.

Valve has two major pieces of hardware coming this year. The Steam Machine is a console-sized gaming PC, aimed at bringing the Steam Deck experience to the living room, with much more capable hardware for driving games at higher resolutions. The Steam Frame is a standalone VR headset, intended to allow gamers to play their PC VR games wirelessly, or enjoy their non-VR games on a cinema-sized screen within VR. The Steam Controller is designed to work well with both, while also being suitable for Steam Deck and traditional PCs.

Right up until Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in 2025, Activision has continued to support last-generation consoles, bringing new titles to Xbox One and PS4 systems well into the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 lifecycle. That is finally going to change this year. 

In recent days, a rumour has begun doing the rounds claiming that this year's Call of Duty game is in active development for PS4 and other last-gen consoles. In a rare move, Activision addressed the rumour head-on in a social media post, saying that “the next Call of Duty is not being developed for PS4”.

Considering Call of Duty has continued to ship on PS4 up to this point, it wouldn't be crazy to guess that this year's title would also come to last-gen consoles. However, Activision appears to want to make it clear that this will not be the case this year.

Activision might be banking on the fact that a large chunk of PS4 owners are now going to upgrade to PS5 specifically for Grand Theft Auto 6. The game has the potential to greatly expand the current-gen console userbase, to a point where last-gen versions of games are no longer necessary.

Not much is known about Call of Duty 2026 at this point, but this year's release is expected to be developed by Infinity Ward, giving Treyarch and the Black Ops series a much-needed break.

Remedy Entertainment has delivered its latest quarterly update, bringing updates on several in-development projects. At this point, the sequel to Control is nearing the finish line, with marketing set to ramp up over the Summer ahead of launch. 

Control: Resonant is the sequel to Remedy's 2019 action game. This time around, we play as Dylan, brother of Jesse, the protagonist of the first game. Dylan has a whole new set of supernatural abilities and weapons to make use of. The game is expected to launch later this year for PC and consoles and according to Remedy, the studio is on track to hit its planned date, with marketing activity set to ramp up over the next quarter.

While Control: Resonant is the next major title from Remedy, the studio does have multiple other projects in the works right now. Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake is still in full production, with Rockstar Games providing input as the new owners of the IP.

On top of that, a mysterious new project has entered the proof-of-concept stage of development. It is unclear if this will be a multiplayer project or a single-player project. We also don't know if this will be a new IP, or if it will be a new project set in the Control or Alan Wake universes.

KitGuru Says: As much as I loved the original Control, there is something about this sequel that just isn't grabbing me. Hopefully that will change in the coming months as more is revealed. 

The be quiet! Dark Rock series has been legendary for more than a decade at this point. This month, they are launching their best version yet, the new Dark Rock Pro 6 and the Dark Rock 6, featuring an all-new design to deliver as much cooling performance as possible.

The Dark Rock Pro 6 is aimed at heavily overclocked systems and demanding workstations. Compared to its predecessor, it features an optimised heatsink, seven heatpipes, two custom-designed Silent Wings fans, and an extended feature set that includes a hardware switch to toggle between performance and a semi-passive quiet modes. The custom Silent Wings fans offer different sizes, one 135mm one and one 120mm one, mounted on a height-adjustable rail system to avoid issues with RAM and motherboard VRM compatibility.

The standard Dark Rock 6 ships with just the 135mm Silent Wings fan and one less heatpipe, bringing the total count to six heatpipes. While it has one less fan, a smaller heatsink and one less heatpipe, the standard version of the cooler does still pack the hardware switch, allowing users to toggle between semi-passive and performance fan profiles.

Both the Dark Rock 6 and its Pro sibling will be available later this month, priced at £64.99 for the standard model and £79.99 for the Pro.

We've entered a new month, which means it is time for another wave of Game Pass titles. The headliner for May 2026 should come as no surprise, as Playground Games' Forza Horizon series returns with its sixth entry. There are a dozen or so other games hitting Game Pass before then though.

Interestingly, Subnautica 2, the long-awaited sequel to the original early access hit, is going to be available day-one to Game Pass subscribers on console and PC. Last year's DOOM: The Dark Ages is also becoming available to standard Game Pass subscribers for the first time, so you no longer need an Ultimate tier subscription to play it.

Here is the full list of titles coming to Game Pass over the next few weeks:

• Final Fantasy V (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC) – May 5
• Ben 10 Power Trip (Cloud, Console, PC) – May 6
• Descenders Next (Game Preview) (Cloud, Console, PC) – May 6
