More than half a decade on from the game’s release, Cyberpunk 2077 remains as popular as ever, thanks in part to a number of surprise updates alongside the huge success of Netflix’s Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Having already crossed over with other IPs, Cyberpunk 2077 is now set to join the world of Apex Legends.

Making the surprise announcement, EA / Respawn officially unveiled their Apex Legends x Cyberpunk Event. Going live on the 14th of July (and running until the 4th of August), this crossover features far more than just some collab skins, with the E-District being transformed into Night City. The event also adds in two new ‘cyberware mods’:

• Sandevistan (allowing you to dash in any direction multiple times)
• Blackwater breach (giving you teleport / EMP abilities)

These all tie into the mode’s cyberware capacity mechanic, in which picking up too many upgrades can cause you to “go full Cyberpsycho and become a high-speed melee monster.”

Of course, this event also brings with it a ton of cosmetics – some paid and others free-to-earn. Alongside various weapon skins, 8 different cosmetic packs are available for different Legends:

• Axle (Lucy)
• Sparrow (David)
• Lifeline (V)
• Crypto (V)
• Rampart (Rebecca)
• Loba (Panam)
• Ash (Lizzy Wizzy)
• Gibraltar (Royce)

Unlike the event itself, these cosmetics will be available to purchase up until the 18th of August. While some of these skins are seemingly better than others, Apex Legends tends to have its crossovers embrace more of a cosplay-style of look, as opposed to bringing in the character themselves.

Either way, this crossover looks to have quite a bit of work put into it. Hopefully the new LTM is fun to play.

It has been some time since the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but the series is not yet done, as publisher EA itself recently said that there are more stories coming with series protagonist Cal Kestis. According to a new rumor originating from reliable insider Tom Henderson, these stories will feature an older protagonist. "I mean this was like a year a year ago or whatever, but I heard that like Cal was going to be older in the game, so I don’t know if they’re doing like a little time jump or something," said the insider during the […]

1047 Games found a ton of success back in 2019 when they released SplitGate: a fun and fast-paced arena shooter in the vein of classic Halo, while adding a twist in the form of portals which players could place around the map for strategic plays. While its sequel has failed to make the same level of splash, the team are apparently working on a brand new game – this one being inspired by Titanfall.

As reported by known insider Tom Henderson via Insider-Gaming, 1047 Games are said to be working on a spiritual successor of sorts to Respawn’s beloved Titanfall series, with “Pre-alpha gameplay footage sent to Insider Gaming” showcasing “players fighting in Team Deathmatch, using grappling hooks, wall running, and boost pads to quickly traverse around the map.”

Said to be currently titled project ‘Empulse’ the game is seemingly going all-in on the Titanfall vibes, with the game also including “giant mechs that are scattered around the map”. Footage sent to the publication reportedly showcases “a player grappling inside a mech and then dominating the match with the mech's primary Gatling gun.”

Of course, there will be core differences between project Empulse and Titanfall, but the inspiration is clearly there. While we will have to wait for an official announcement to learn about the game properly, Empulse is reportedly currently in pre-alpha – with plans to unveil the game scheduled for sometime “later this year.”

Last year, Respawn surprised us with the announcement of Star Wars Zero Company, a new strategy game set in the Star Wars universe, created by former XCOM developers. Now with the game's release date getting closer, we've received a much deeper look at the game. 

In an exclusive feature on PCGamer, we learn that Zero Company is set during the Clone Wars, with our group of fighters going up against the Separatist movement, with a grittier tone inspired by the likes of Star Wars Rogue One and Andor.

Like in XCOM, the enemies on the map will slowly gain buffs over time if you don't take them out quickly enough, making levels more challenging the longer you go. Bit Reactor developers are also taking inspiration from XCOM with a Permadeath mode, so you could potentially see story threads end early if one of your ally falls in battle too soon. This in turn will also boost replayability as players look to perfect their runs and make it through to the end with their entire crew in one piece.

Social systems are in place too, so your characters can bond to unlock additional buffs in combat and unlock additional story moments.

Star Wars Zero Company does not yet have a release date but it will be coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles later this year. We should get more information at this year's Star Wars Celebration event, taking place from May 21st to May 24th.

EA and Respawn are trying to bring the hammer down hard on cheaters in Apex Legends by making some changes in how it'll respond to players caught using devices like Strikepacks, Cronus, and XIM. If you are caught using any of those devices or devices like them, you will be permanently banned from Apex Legends. Moreover, Respawn has said that it "will not entertain appeals for leniency on accounts confirmed cheating." So if Respawn confirms that you've been cheating, you will have no recourse for getting back into the game, and just creating a new account will simply just restart […]

Initially unveiled at the tail end of the 2025 Game Awards, Highguard is a live-service hero shooter developed by ex-Respawn Entertainment devs at Wildlight Entertainment. Despite a negative response to its initial announcement, the game managed to achieve a peak of nearly 100k concurrents on Steam following its launch last month. Since then however, interest has dwindled significantly, and while the team promised to support the game for the long-term, Highguard’s official website is no longer available – sparking concerns for the game’s future.

As discovered by multiple users, the official ‘playhighguard’ website has been taken offline, with the homepage simply stating: “Highguard – This site is currently unavailable. Please contact support@codethirtytwo.com for assistance.”

As of now, the game itself remains online and playable, however the lack of any communication from Wildlight Entertainment regarding the site’s current status has led some to fear for Highguard's future.

For the uninitiated, Highguard launched to a rather negative reception, in part due to the game itself but also the general sentiment surrounding hero shooters. Despite this, the team promised to offer long-term support, sharing a roadmap which covers the entirety of 2026.

Considering the fact that the studio has already had to lay-off a bunch of developers however, and the recent issues with its official website, Highguard's future is looking quite concerning. Hopefully Wildlight Entertainment addresses this latest issue sooner rather than later.
