The Last of Us is being released again, but this time as a Complete edition There's a physical version coming too. Image credit: Sony News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on April 10, 2025 If you thought Nintendo was the master of re-releases, then Naughty Dog might just be gunning for its title. The studio has announced yet another release for The Last of Us - but this time it's returning in the form of a two-game Complete edition. Hints that Sony and Naughty Dog might be preparing another The Last of Us release first surfaced back in March, when it was reported a mysterious new PlayStation 5 special edition was on the way. Little was known about it at the time, beyond the fact it was supposedly getting a physical edition, but all has now been revealed. The Last of Us Complete, as its name suggests, bundles together the PS5 versions of The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, which initially released in 2022 and 2024 respectively. It'll be available in two forms; a digital edition, which is live on the PlayStation Store right now, and a special physical Collector's Edition, which arrives on 10th July. The Last of Us Complete launch trailer.Watch on YouTube The Last of Us Complete's digital release features exactly the same content as you'd get if you brought both games separately, but it does provide a bit of saving. It's priced at £94.99 on the PlayStation Store, making a purchase £19.99 cheaper than buying Part 1 and Part 2 individually. As for the Collector's Edition, it's exclusive to PlayStation's online store. It comes in a steelbook case with separate discs for Part 1 and Part 2, and also includes the Left Behind prequel chapter, The Last of Us: American Dreams Comics #1-4 with new cover art, a set of four lithographic art prints, and a Thank You letter from Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann - which I'm assuming isn't going to be handwritten. It costs £109.99/$109.99 USD, and pre-orders are open now. But will Naughty Dog's latest The Last of Us release actually end up being the "complete" edition. Druckmann has sent mixed messages about the likelihood of a third series instalment over the last few years, telling fans "there's probably one more chapter to this story" back in 2024, before reversing course this March and warning, "Don't bet on there being more." There is, though, sort of new The Last of Us on the way, courtesy of HBO's live-action TV adaptation. Season 2 begins airing this Sunday, 13th April (14th April in the UK), and looks like it'll be substantially expanding on the events of the second game. We already know some new characters are being introduced for Season 2 - including Catherine O'Hara's Gale - and given showrunner Craig Mazin is predicting the series will run to four season, there's plenty of space to chart routes previously unseen. Especially as Season 3 is already confirmed.

Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games here Marvel Rivals Season 2 is ready to astonish fans with the debut of Emma Frost, the White Queen herself, as the game’s latest Vanguard hero on April 11, 2025. Emma, as shown in the Hellfire Gala trailer, marches onto Krakoa’s battlefield and hosts the yearly mutant celebration until Ultron disrupts the party. Frost, known for her telepathic abilities and diamond-hard resistance, adds a new element to the lineup by combining ranged psychic beams and melee brawling. Her introduction has fans buzzing, especially with her stunning X-Revolution skin, which will soon be made available for 1600 units. Season 2 also includes a new Krakoa Domination map, a Flowers of Krakoa Battle Pass, and redesigned Team-Ups, such as a mind-bending trio with Magneto and Psylocke that creates illusory replicas to confuse enemies. Emma’s Vanguard kit promises versatility, with the potential to shield allies as well as disrupt opponents. Her twin forms—human and diamond—allow her to adapt to any combat situation, whether she’s shooting psychic beams or fighting in close quarters. However, one ability in particular has already piqued the community’s interest: Carbon Crush, where she grabs and slams enemies and is designed to block opposing ultimates, thwarting even the most planned schemes. Emma Frost can block these Marvel Rivals hero ults using Carbon Crush ability Emma Frost, when she’s in her diamond form, can use a different moveset than her human form, which makes her a unique Vanguard in Marvel Rivals Season 2. One of her abilities, Carbon Crush, is growing in popularity as she can lunge forward to grab an enemy, then execute a back slam to inflict damage. Emma Frost can grab heroes in the middle of their ults and smash them. Image by VideoGamer. While the ability, when paired with a Crystal Kick, can insta-kill enemies, players are already using it to block enemy ultimates and can completely stop them from even initiating it. A video clip shared on X by ZeroWontMiss shows the hero ults she can stop and save their team from. While there isn’t every ult that she can stop or block, here are the hero ults she is shown to stop effectively: Venom’s Feast of the Abyss Psylocke’s Dance of the Butterfly Loki’s God of Mischief Star-Lord’s Galactic Legend Iron Man’s Invincible Pulse Cannon Human Torch’s Supernova Scarlet Witch’s Reality Erasure Hawkeye’s Hunter’s Sight Spider-Man’s Spectacular Spin Black Widow’s Electro-Plasma Explosion Storm’s Omega Hurricane Peni Parker’s Spider-Sweeper Magik’s Darkchild Black Panther’s Bast’s Descent The Thing’s Clobberin’ Time Groot’s Strangling Prison Doctor Strange’s Eye of Agamotto Iron Fist’s Living Chi Cloak and Dagger’s Eternal Bond All you need to do to stop any of the above ults is to make sure you’re within 5 meters of the enemy and have a Diamond Form and Carbon Crush ability stored. As soon as you’re near an enemy who’s initiating their ult, just instantly switch to Diamond Form and grab them using the Carbon Crush. Then, deploy a Mind’s Aegis barrier to stop any incoming damage from their primary attacks. You can also block enemy ults with Emma Frost’s ultimate ability, Psionic Seduction, which projects a forward psychic assault that stuns foes and prevents them from unleashing their Ultimate Abilities; if the effect lingers, it gradually commandeers their mind, forcing them to move toward Emma Frost.

And, since the slits in the rattan frame are quite wide, you’ll be able to catch much of the summertime breeze.Leather Butterfly Hanging Chair by Joanina and David PastollHere’s another leather option that would look right at home in Patrick Dempsey’s Malibu pad. We took inspiration from the leather chair that decorator Estee Stanley chose for the actor’s living room, though we like that this butterfly design has a slightly more structured look.

Hoovy Breathing Date Everything, the game that'll let you get intimate with your vacuum cleaner without risking an embarrassing trip to hospital, finally has a fresh release date Look, doc, I've got no idea how the thing got stuck in the thing. Please just get it out! Image credit: Team17/Sassy Chap Games News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on April 10, 2025 Wahey, your plans to shag every object in your house this summer are back on. Virtually, I mean, as indie dating sim Date Everything has just announced a new release date. It was previously set to drop at the very fitting release that is Valentine's Day, but it'll now be coming on June 17 instead. Not heard of it before? Well, if you're into putting on a pair of special sunglasses and getting it on with a door, piano, or laundry basket that might be voiced by the likes of Final Fantasy 16's Ben Starr, the Horizon series' Ashley Burch, or Baldur's Gate 3 sass manchine Neil Newbon, that's the gist of Date Everything. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. As well as announcing that new release date - which again is June 17 - developer Sassy Chap Games has put out a fresh trailer. Introduced by Skylar, a character voiced by Fallout: New Vegas and Supernatural actress Felicia Day, the trailer introduces you to your magic "Dateviator" glasses, and shows you how different objects will suddenly come alive whenever you look at them for a few seconds. It's less freaky than it might sound. For example, the house's front door turns into Dorian, an uber-attractive himbo with a gravelly voice and beard who also happens to rock some visual cues that'll remind you of his day job as a thing with a knob. Watch on YouTube Similarly, a wall becomes a Conan-style barbarian called Wallace, a water heater reveals itself to be a half-Greek godess/half-Dalek called Winnifred, and there's a hoover bloke called Hoovie. Overall, the game boasts 100 fully voiced datable characters, with even a toilet being teased at one point in the trailer. "Relationships can be unpredictable, after all," our Kelsey wrote in their preview of the game last month, "Dating your floorboards, empty coat hangers, or games consoles is no doubt even more unpredictable, but one thing that Date Everything looks to guarantee is that it’ll be relaxing, wacky (and replayable!) fun – akin to the goofiness of Hatoful Boyfriend and Monster Prom. What good company it keeps, which I think is very fitting for a game with this theme." Hey, if it's another chance to flirt with power-fisting enthusiast Veronica Santangelo, assuming Day's character is also one of the dateable folks, I'll take it.

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube806k Surprise! Vampire Survivors is getting a huge free update today, and it's moving away from Konami and joining forces with Square Enix. Announced during today's Triple I showcase, it's not a Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts DLC — both of those would be amazing, of course, but we really admire the choice that poncle settled on. The new Emerald Diorama Expansion focuses on Square most unusual series, SaGa. We don't think anyone saw this coming. We certainly didn't! But, like any other Vampire Survivors content, it looks excellent, and a ton of effort has gone into ensuring it's faithful to the series, particularly the latest brand new game, SaGa Emerald Beyond.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube806kWatch on YouTube More than 12 characters, 16 weapons, a new stage, and lots of new mechanics are being added as part of the Emerald Diorama update. Some characters will be able to play in a party (just like any good JRPG), and a new Showstopper mode means SaGa characters with critical HP will get a boost to all of their stats. Images: Poncle Images: Poncle That's not all, either. poncle is also adding tons of new features to the game outside of the SaGa expansion. There's a free update to the main game focusing on chickens with a new stage and new character, alongside two brand new adventures with six chapters each — one for the base game, and one for the Tides of the Foscari DLC. Vampire Survivors' last DLC was a massive paid expansion focusing on the Castlevania series, and it was brilliant — one of our favourite experiences of 2024. In fact, all the Vampire Survivors updates have been great. This DLC is yet another capstone in SaGa huge resurgence over the past few years, too. 2024 saw Emerald Beyond and a remake of Romancing SaGa 2 launch, while this year, we've already been treated to SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered.

In Brief Posted: 12:58 PM PDT · April 10, 2025 Image Credits:Getty Images Mira Murati’s AI startup is reportedly aiming for a massive $2B seed round Thinking Machines Lab, the new AI startup from ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, is reportedly attempting to close one of the largest seed rounds in history. Business Insider reported on Thursday that Thinking Machines Lab has doubled the target for its seed funding round to $2 billion. The round, should it close according to plan, would value the company at “at least” $10 billion, per Business Insider’s reporting. Thinking Machines Lab only recently emerged from stealth and has no product or revenue to speak of. What it does have — and what’s likely convincing investors to fork over cash — is dozens of high-profile AI researchers in its ranks. Just recently, Bob McGrew, previously OpenAI’s chief research officer, and Alec Radford, a former OpenAI researcher behind many of the company’s more transformative innovations, joined Thinking Machines Lab as advisers. Thinking Machines Lab previously said it intends to create AI systems that are “more widely understood, customizable, and generally capable” than those currently available. Topics

He will oversee creative operations across North America, with a primary base in Chicago. “I'm beyond excited to join the Heist family,” said Coleman. “It's an incredible opportunity to bring along so many talented friends to strengthen an already thriving studio and help elevate it even further. The creativity, warmth, and 'can-do' attitude truly resonate with me — I'm thrilled to see what we do together!” Also joining from The Mill are Blake Nickle, now Director of Production, Chicago, and Jason Esser, now creative director at Thinkingbox.
