Game Ace Pro 0 0

Behind the scenes the team here at Bungie has been incredibly hard at work on Marathon, our brand-new PvPvE extraction shooter* – where the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti collides with tense survival FPS gameplay.

In Marathon, players scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV as a bio-cybernetic Runner while surviving against hostile UESC security forces, rival Runners, and unpredictable environments to seek their fortune.

Today’s ViDoc shares a new look at Marathon’s gameplay and immersive sci-fi setting. The team also explores updates since Alpha, like improved visual fidelity, proximity chat, solo play, and a new Runner shell: Rook.

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Greetings to all the PlayStation fans! Did you get a chance to watch The Game Awards 2025? Alongside celebrating the standout titles of the year, the show saw a wave of exciting new game announcements.

New Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 content available today, including Verso’s Drafts level

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Speaking for everyone involved in the development and release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we want to thank you, every single one of the fans, for what an unimaginable year of success our game has had in 2025. As a show of thanks, we’re dropping a major content update to the game on PS5 right now (for free!).

The largest inclusion here is a brand-new level, “Verso’s Drafts”, featuring new environments to explore, battles to fight, and plenty of surprises to discover. The biome has a very childlike, wonderland-style aesthetic, inspired by Verso’s childhood, but you’ll see more cutscenes that elaborate on this in the update.

It goes without saying that Lorien Testard’s musical magic is back too, with new tracks added for the level.


“I lived the creation of the last songs of the OST as a farewell to this whole adventure and to the characters who have accompanied my life and imagination for five years. I’m happy to know that today it was just a goodbye… We had the chance to compose music for a very special level, a deep and playful part of Verso’s childhood. Who would have thought he loved sweets so much when he was younger?

“It gave us the opportunity to have a lot of fun, to dance and to laugh while creating these songs; you can even hear Alice’s natural laughter in one of them! And then the time came to write the last track of the album… once again, the time to say goodbye. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, if it will be clair or obscur, but I know it’s within that in-between that dreams blossom. Thank you for dreaming with us.”

– Lorien Testard, Composer, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33



Take a look at the Thank You Update Trailer, featuring Verso’s Draft here:
