A Helldiver waves a flag while looking down at a battlefield in a screenshot from Helldivers 2's Masters of Ceremony trailer.
Third Person Shooters This latest Helldivers 2 patch is only for the true patriots – the Super Earth Flag stratagem can now be "proudly" planted directly into living and dead enemies: "Absolute Democracy"
Borderlands 4 trailer screenshot of Rafa around a bonfire
Borderlands The new Borderlands 4 trailer feels like an extreme parody of the 2025 games industry: a (literal) bloodbath caused by board members killing cool ideas to save money
A Helldiver holding a flag in a promotional image for Helldivers 2.
Third Person Shooters "We actually won": Helldivers 2 players pull off a miracle at the 11th hour, killing 47 million enemies of Democracy in a week and earning 3 cities that sound like terrible places to live
A mask in front of flames during the upcoming PS5 game, Borderlands 4.
Borderlands Borderlands 4 seemingly throws shade at former owner Embracer with an AI toilet and rundown town ruled by a king in a hot tub

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 teases Halo 3: ODST crossover as the PlayStation-published hit finally comes to Xbox, studio CEO once again threatens brown trousers: "Please prepare your pants"
A line of enemy Terminids in Helldivers 2.
Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2's Terminid Jurassic Park went horribly wrong, so obviously Super Earth wants to try "Tyranny Park 2," claiming it will be "safer, larger, and have significantly greater merchandising potential"
cel-shaded rafa looking shocked and worried in his exo suit
FPS Games New Borderlands 4 trailer is a funny critique of capitalism, and Randy Pitchford says if we "share and retweet" we could get more: "Those numbers directly impact the decisions made in the suit meetings and conference rooms"
Cover art for Marvel's Wolverine
Action Games Marvel's Wolverine box art "doesn't look like our past games," according to Spider-Man studio Insomniac, which worked with a comic artist who has a brutal history with the character for the cover
Helldivers 2
Third Person Shooters We fought against Helldivers 2's Illuminate invasion valiantly, but you might want to prepare for their revenge as Arrowhead teases that "it's safe to say we're not done" with the squids yet
A player holding up a mask in the upcoming Xbox Series X game, Borderlands 4.
Borderlands "Borderlands is already bats**t," says Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, so why should Borderlands 4 "care about the laws of physics" with new movement tech
GTA 6
Open World Games GTA 6 has scared off publishers all year, but Rockstar has been doing this for at least 18: In 2007, Saints Row 2 devs held a meeting to panic over the GTA 4 release date
A screenshot of three Borderlands characters in Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced.
Borderlands Borderlands 4 could have looked very different – the OG RPG initially had realistic visuals that were too similar to Fallout 3, so Gearbox "rebuilt the whole game" after 2 weeks of experimenting led to its iconic comic style
Helldivers 2 soldier watches a nuclear explosion in the distance with his arms stretched wide
Third Person Shooters The "tactical enthusiasm" of Helldivers 2 players, by which Arrowhead means catapulting Hellbombs at Leviathan ships, is now canon: "Innovative Leviathan hunting techniques have had a particularly outsized effect"
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon promotional image
Far Cry The new Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC will have to wait, because I can finally play the Far Cry 3 expansion I missed out on 13 years ago

Borderlands Borderlands 4 mercifully ditches most of Borderlands 3 potty humor, but Gearbox gives itself a treat and references Dark Souls meme from Twitter in hidden sidequest

Saints Row IV box art destroys D.C.

Packaging revealed for regular and Commander in Chief editions

Regular edition

Regular edition

In Saints Row IV's newly revealed box art, these gang colors don't run. The open-world game casts players as the President of the United States and its packaging reflects its executive office. By "reflects its executive office" we mean blows up the Oval Office and half of Washington D.C.

We can see Shaundi and Kinzie behind the Boss in Chief, and a mutant Saints Flow mascot exacting its revenge on the Washington Monument in the normal box art above.

Commander in Chief edition

Commander in Chief edition

And in the pre-order-only Commander in Chief edition we can see (through the Presidential Aviators) the same Mascot giving Capitol Hill what-for, and one of the game's alien invaders blasting away in our general direction.

Saints Row IV will hit on August 20 in the U.S. and August 23 in the U.K, for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
