‘Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine' is Finally Getting a Remaster
A year after its sequel arrived, the original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is coming to modern gaming.
The definitive, 'Master Crafted Edition' of the third-person shooter comes of port developer SneakyBox. Producer Vaidas Mikelskas described the update as a 'thoughtful restoration […] a respectful dialogue between past and present, preserving what made the original special while making it shine for a new generation of players.' Along with graphical updates and a modern UI and control scheme, this new Space Marine provides a visual update to the Orks to make them more in line with their current visual identity in the franchise canon, and 'over 100' new voice lines.
Originally developed by Relic Entertainment, the first Space Marine released in 2011 to generally positive reviews. It had two planned sequels, but those fell apart when the game's publisher THQ closed down. Sega subsequently gained its publishing rights upon acquiring Relic two years later, and re-released the game on PC back in 2021. Later that year, Saber Interactive revealed it would develop the sequel for publisher Focus Entertainment, which released to pretty strong reviews in 2024 and has its own followup in the works.
Rights for the first Warhammer 40K: Space Marine remain with Sega, which currently hasn't announced a PlayStation 5 version of the Master Crafted Edition. So if you're interested, you'll have to buy it on PC or Xbox Series X|S, or play via Xbox Game Pass, on June 10.

Teen from Allen, Texas wins Scripps National Spelling Bee with 'eclaircissement'
No éclaircissement was needed after 13-year-old Faizan Zaki triumphed in the 21st round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The teen collapsed on the floor with excitement after correctly spelling "éclaircissement" and securing the national title — not to mention a trophy and $50,000. Zaki's win also coincided with a major milestone: the 100th anniversary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. When spelling the "M-E-N-T" in "éclaircissement," Zaki, who hails from Allen, Texas, was understandably thrilled after coming in second place at last year's competition behind Bruhat Soma, who was 12 years old when he took home the trophy. However, his victory didn't come without drama — Zaki nearly lost in round 18 when asked to spell "commelina." Zaki started saying "K-A-M" before stopping himself and telling head judge Mary Brooks to "just ring the bell," which she did. Zaki got another shot after 14-year-old Sarvadnya Kadam misspelled "Uaupes" in round 20 — paving the way for his win with "éclaircissement." In a post on X congratulating the 13-year-old, the Scripps National Spelling Bee wrote that Zaki "left everything on stage." "He's the GOAT. I actually believe that. He's really good, man. He's been doing it for so long, and he knows the dictionary in and out," Zaki's father, Said Zaki Anwar told ESPN. Zaki's win was notable not only for the final word and the Bee's centennial, but also because it marked the first time in nearly 25 years that a former runner-up returned to win the title. According to ESPN, the last person to do so was Sean Conley, who was the 2001 champion. Zaki and Conley are members of an extremely exclusive club with just five members total from the event's 100 years. The final three in the 2025 competition also included 11-year-old Sarv Dharavane, who would have been the competition's youngest champion since Nihar Janga, who won in 2016. Zaki's stumble over "commelina" and subsequent comeback are not the first examples of drama at the spelling bee. This children's competition has produced a surprising number of historic moments. In 2019, the spelling bee's results were arguably some of the most controversial, as the competition ended with the only eight-way tie in the Scripps National Spelling Bee's history.

New ELDEN RING: NIGHTREIGN Trailer Takes Us Back To The Early 2000s with Evanescence's 'Bring Me to Life' — GeekTyrant
There are certain moments in life that hit like a memory you didn't realize you'd been waiting to relive. Watching the Elden Ring: Nightreign trailer scored with Evanescence's 'Bring Me to Life' is one of them. Bandai Namco dropped the trailer which shows a team of three Tarnished warriors going toe-to-toe with Morgott the Omen King while Amy Lee belts her heart out over power chords like it's 2003. The trailer came with the following note: 'When your allies have fallen and all seems lost, dig deep down inside and summon the strength of early 2000's alternative metal. WAKE ME UP.' The music hits perfect for this trailer as the full-throttle drama and epic fantasy violence syncs perfectly to a track that defined an era. It's pretty cool! Nightreign is shaping up to be a must-play for fans and newcomers alike. Set in a parallel universe to the original Elden Ring , Nightreign transports players to Limveld, an amalgamation of familiar yet foreboding landscapes inspired by Limgrave. The game's structure revolves around surviving three day-and-night cycles. Days are spent exploring, looting, and leveling up with friends, while nights bring the ominous "Night's Tide," which gradually shrinks the map, forcing confrontations with powerful bosses. The ultimate challenge? Survive long enough to face the Nightlord on the final day, earning relics that carry over to future runs. Unlike the sprawling open-world freedom of Elden Ring , Nightreign offers a tighter, session-based structure designed for cooperative play. The focus is on rapid progression, collaboration, and adapting to escalating challenges as you and your team navigate Limveld's dangers. Elden Ring Nightreign introduces eight predefined character builds, each with unique abilities, weapons, and ultimates. This approach removes the series' traditional character creation and stat micromanagement, streamlining gameplay to emphasize team synergy. Whether you're playing as a tank, DPS, or support role, success depends on coordinating with your allies to balance your party's strengths. Progression is simplified but strategic. Instead of investing in individual stats, players level up their characters broadly during each session, with rewards and relics unlocking meaningful upgrades. Relics, earned through both victories and failures, offer permanent enhancements, incentivizing players to push through even the most punishing challenges. The gameplay mechanics retain the familiar Elden Ring DNA but introduce key changes to accommodate Nightreign's cooperative focus. Movement is faster, fall damage is removed, and combat relies heavily on the interplay between character builds. FromSoftware has also tailored exploration to match the session-based format, with Sites of Grace scattered across the map offering vital opportunities to level up and regroup. While the shrinking map mechanic adds urgency, it also intensifies the strategic element, as players must decide how to manage resources and whether to engage enemies or flee to safer grounds. This balance of exploration, combat, and survival promises a thrilling departure from the more solitary experience of the original game. So yeah, I wasn't planning to buy Elden Ring: Nightreign this week. But then I saw a fallen co-op partner resurrected in perfect sync with 'WAKE ME UP INSIDE,' and suddenly I'm booting up my console like it's a LAN party in 2004. Whoever at Bandai Namco greenlit this deserves a raise. Not just for marketing brilliance—but for finally giving AMVs the respect they deserve.
