Dave the Diver makes nice with Godzilla in upcoming DLC
The deepest, darkest depths of water are terrifying places at the best of times. We all know mysterious monsters lurk. For Dave the Diver, well… that means he is about to come fact to face with the mighty monarch of monsters itself: Godzilla. International joint military organization G-Force has tracked a wounded Godzilla to Blue Hole, but it is Dave who stumbles across the creature while looking for fish. Godzilla is wary, as he should be, but he may just find help in this unexpected ally.
In the DLC, you’ll pursue iconic deep-sea Kaiju Ebirah from the 1966 film bearing his name. Evade Ebirah’s assaults as he relentlessly comes after Dave’s submarine. Harpoons are ineffective against its shell. Dave jumps ship – literally – to the G-Force submarine to confront Ebirah head-on.
Developed and published by Mintrocket, Dave the Diver is available now for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The Godzilla DLC launches on May 23 and will only be available until November 23.
Core Keeper is set to leave Early Access for a full launch on PC and consoles
Cozy mining game Core Keeper has been available in Early Access for PC for two years now, and the full launch (PC and consoles) is now set for August of this year. The 1.0 launch will feature a major update with new content, features, and improvements. The developer is tight-lipped at this point, but expect “all kinds of excitement, including new and unique ways to play and customize your game.” It promises something cool is coming out soon about 1.0 soon, something that will be worth the wait.
Before the 1.0 launch date, there will be one more update to the Early Access version of Core Keeper. It was originally supposed to be minor, including a bit of new content. The developer is now pivoting to focus on the game’s performance and necessary bug fixes. That new content will now come packaged with the 1.0 update.
Developed by Pugstorm and published by Fireshine Games, Core Keeper will be released for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series, and Xbox One on August 27.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is now Assassin’s Creed Shadows

You’ll become a lethal shinobi Assassin (Naoe) and a legendary samurai (Yasuke) while exploring a beautiful world captured in a time of chaos.

Gold Edition includes the base game, three days of early access, and a season pass.
