Save the world, this time as a red panda in Panda Punch

Excuse me whilst I twiddle my moustache and glasses, but I am here to tell you that a red panda is not a panda! They are more associated with raccoon and skunks then actual pandas. And another thing, they tend not to have bionic arms to help them save the world from an alien invasion. But this one does. Panda Punch is out today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and PC.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt gets an Xbox Series X|S makeover

We have a general rule here at TheXboxHub when it comes to awarding our Game of the Year, and that is it cannot be considered if it is a simple next-gen patch. Which is a shame, because this next game would be in with a shout, even against Elden Ring. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition is out now on Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation 5.

Get another glimpse of just what Atomic Heart is all about

As the release date draws closer for Atomic Heart, naturally we are going to get more and more reveals. However, I don’t think no amount of reveals will help unravel what is really going on in Atomic Heart. Even now, after poring over many of the trailers and gameplay reveals, it still looks bizarre. But that all adds to the intrigue, after all.

Judas announced from the creator of Bioshock

The original Bioshock is 15 years old, let that sink in for a minute. System Shock 2 is even older at 23 years old, having released in 1999. Both were helmed by Ken Levine who, after the release of Bioshock Infinite (itself turning ten years old in 2023) has been quietly beavering away on something. That something was announced at The Game Awards 2022. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Judas.

Third-person shooter Soulslike Remnant 2 announced

One of the biggest surprises in 2019 was undoubtedly Remnant: From the Ashes. Its mixture of Soulslike mechanics and The Division-esque shooting was a fantastic match. In co-op this game shone as one of the best examples of the genre, outside of From Software. Two DLCs arrived in the form of Swamps of Corsus and Subject 2923 to give players plenty more to do. There was even a lesser-known prequel Chronos: Before the Ashes that had an interesting aging mechanic each time you died.

Go rubbernecking at car crashes in Accident

Admit it, we’ve all done it; slowed down whilst driving past an accident to get a better look at the carnage. It is only human nature. This analogy was recently used to describe why The Callisto Protocol doesn’t hide any of the gruesome deaths you will encounter, and we can kind of understand why. But if you saw something you could help out with, would you? It is time to tune in those altruistic tendencies with Accident, out today on Xbox and PlayStation.
