Star Wars: Battlefront First Reveal Trailer Released
Earlier this week, EA released the first reveal trailer for its upcoming game: Star Wars Battlefront. Available for PS4, Xbox One and PC, Battlefront is the much anticipated successor to Pandemic Studio’s previous instalments in the long running series: Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Rest in peace Pandemic, you glorious buggers.
Displaying in-engine footage, the trailer shows off a number of well-loved environments from the Star Wars universe, such as Endor, Hoth and Tatooine, and reveals a couple of fan favourite characters that will hopefully appear, or maybe even be playable in the final release. It should be considered that the trailer is a promotional video and therefore, not necessarily representative of the final product. However, if the flow of combat displayed is anything to go by, we can expect a constant escalation between faction based firefights, air to ground vehicular combat with fan favourites like the AT-AT and Tie Fighter, as well as the mid-fight appearance of ‘hero’ characters like Darth Vader and Boba Fett.
With the big set piece reveals out of the way, the trailer also presents a number of smaller details for fans of the series to get excited over. Keen-eyed viewers will notice a rebel fighter dropping a bubble shield to protect him from getting his face blown off by laser fire, the Jawa sandcrawler that serves as a backdrop for the Tatooine battlefield, or the star destroyer hovering over the battlefield at the beginning of the trailer. Needless to say, the combination of these details are enough to get any Star Wars veteran excited for the series reboot. If that’s not your thing, then there’s a hell of a lot of shootbangs and explodey goodness to tickle your fancies all the same.
No doubt that Dice and EA have a lot to live up to, and the expectations of many a sceptical fan weighing heavily on their shoulders. This reveal has many of us waiting with bated breath, questioning whether the legacy of the Battlefront series can be upheld, or even improved upon in its latest iteration. Here’s hoping, eh?

Joker’s Free Suicide Squad DLC on PS5
There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.
As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

Gran Turismo 7 for the PS5 and PS4 shows continuous improvement
While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.
The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.
If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
