This game is described as a "perfect blend of Warhammer 40,000, classic, frenetic FPS gameplay and the stylish visuals of your favourite 90's retro shooters."

Here's when PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 free games are being announced
The PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 games are set to be announced soon, and we've got all the details you need to know about when you can expect them Two titles have already been confirmed for the PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 roster, but there's plenty more speculation about what else might be on the cards. Despite a somewhat lacklustre reveal of Sand Land as the headline act last month, PlayStation kicked off its PS Plus June 2025 free games with a surprise drop for Essential subscribers, as well as a smattering of titles for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, so we'll write off May as a blip for now. The recent PlayStation State of Play showcase (via YouTube) made some significant announcements, including the release of Twisted Metal 3 and 4 on Tuesday, July 15, and Resident Evil 2 and 3 in the summer. It was also revealed that Sword of the Sea, the latest adventure from the creators of Journey, will debut on the service on day one in August. Some of these releases are imminent, with FBC: Firebreak set to land on PS Plus Extra on Tuesday, June 17, along with the original Deus Ex for Premium subscribers. These games are guaranteed to arrive this month, giving us a solid starting point for predicting other potential additions. The most effective way to anticipate what might be included in a future PS Plus release is by examining the games that were released on the service at the same time last year, noting their original PlayStation release dates, adding a year to those dates, and seeing what matches up. In this instance, we'd be looking at the PS Plus June 2025 Extra and Premium lineup, which boasted Monster Hunter Rise, Crusader Kings 3 and Monster Energy Supercross – The Video Game 6. Given that Monster Hunter was initially launched in March 2021, the subsequent year is a good indicator for game releases, with titles such as Bleach: Brave Souls, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands making an appearance. The inclusion of these games would result in a satisfying PS Plus June 2025 Extra and Premium games drop for many players. However, with FBC: Firebreak already confirmed, it hardly needs these additions to make it a standout month. But when exactly will this new collection of games be unveiled? Here's everything you need to know about the PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 games reveal date. PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 games reveal date The PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 games reveal date is scheduled for Wednesday,June 11 at 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 4.30pm BST. This is because the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for any given month are always announced on its second Wednesday, before being released on the following Tuesday, which in this case is Tuesday, June 17. It's refreshing to have a sneak peek at the forthcoming PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 games this month, and Sony could still surprise us with this month's release.

Dune Awakening swamped by 100,000 early access players ahead of launch
Dune Awakening isn't technically out yet, but that hasn't stopped almost 100,000 eager players from jumping into the massively multiplayer online game during its early access period. Officially launching on 10 June, Dune Awakening has you exploring the sandy wilderness of Arrakis. Developed by Funcom, creators of Conan: Exiles, the MMO allows players to fully immerse themselves in Frank Herbert's revived and genre-defining science-fiction universe. Dune Awakening is set to launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, and sees players assume the role of The Sleeper, a jobbing freelancer set loose in the desert world of Arrakis to form alliances, join guilds, fight for control of regions, and avoid the sci-fi series' behemoth sandworms. First teased in 2023, Dune Awakening is finally approaching a full release. Players who paid extra can jump into the game early, and almost 100,000 players have joined, leading to server overloads and connection problems – and a lot of negative Steam reviews. Ready to get sand in your stillsuit? Here's everything we know about Dune Awakening so far. Dune Awakening release date Dune Awakening launches on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S and X on Tuesday, 10 June. Players who pre-ordered Dune Awakening and paid for advanced access can start playing now, ahead of the game's full release. What is Dune Awakening about? While stylistically similar to the most recent Dune movies, Dune Awakening draws as much from the classic Frank Herbert books as it does the recent Timothée Chalamet-fronted blockbusters. Pitting you as a lone wanderer in the desert world of Arrakis, Dune Awakening is a mixture of open-world survival and multiplayer combat. Starting out with nothing but a scrap knife, you'll attack enemy camps to loot the materials needed to expand your armoury, build new tools, vehicles and weapons, and expand your guild's camp to grow your power and influence. The IMAX-scale of Arrakis can also be felt in the giant sandstorms that rage across the game world, as well as those iconic sandworms – skyscraper-sized monsters that burst from the dunes and must be avoided at all costs.
