🧠 Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – Fear Is the Weapon Treyarch’s latest entry is set in 2035 and leans hard into psychological warfare. The campaign supports solo or four-player co-op, and introduces “fear toxin” mechanics inspired by Batman Arkham. Missions distort reality, enemies mutate mid-fight, and generative AI tools streamline level design. Zombies return, multiplayer expands, and the November 14 release date is locked in.

🕷️ Hollow Knight: Silksong – Finally, a Date Hornet’s long-awaited solo outing lands September 4. The trailer shows off acrobatic traversal, new biomes, and over 200 enemies—including 40 bosses. Team Cherry confirmed post-launch content plans, so this isn’t just a release—it’s a relaunch of the franchise’s future.

🧱 LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Now this got our attention because it looks absolutely Bat-Mazing! A love letter to Batman’s history, this new LEGO title blends Arkham-style combat with classic LEGO humor. Matt Berry voices Bane, and the game spans multiple Bat-eras—from Adam West to Robert Pattinson. Expect puzzles, stealth, and Batmobiles galore.

🧛 Resident Evil: Requiem – Gothic and Gory Capcom’s latest horror entry introduces Grace Ashcroft, a new protagonist navigating a plague-ridden European village. The trailer teases a stalker enemy with shape-shifting abilities and a narrative twist that ties back to RE7. It’s atmospheric, brutal, and deeply unsettling.

 

🧬 Borderlands 4 – Gravitar Goes Boom A new Borderland has us wondering if this is Destiny with a skin. Seriously, the game play, the gun-play and everything in-between looks like it was lifted straight from Bungie and run through a filter. Could this just a sneaky way to get Kyle to play (and enjoy) a Borderlands game? Because if its Destiny Reskinned, then sign us up!

 

🧛 Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 This game joins Silksong in only exiting when it gets released. Until then, it remains a bad April fools joke. Kyle refuses to believe its real, while Lee seems pretty excited to jump in.  All this and more in this episode of The Regular Show. 

 

We're also in deep in our Patreon's Pick August Event. For all of August, the Patrons get to tell us what to play. Do you want to have your chance to boss Lee around?
