Gorgeous games with a cyberpunk setting may not exactly grow on trees, but neither do those with a more retro approach to their settings or a focus on mystery. Critical Hit Games’ Nobody Wants to Die is one such title, launching on July 17th for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. It’s set in a future where death has sort of died, and prolonging life, instead of savoring it, has seemingly become humanity’s raison d’etre.
With a cinematic announcement trailer that’s generated tons of buzz, not to mention a recent extended gameplay showcase with almost half a million views, Nobody Wants to Die is certainly worth keeping an eye on. Here are some things you should know before buying.

Ubisoft has officially delsports bettingayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to next year while removing its seasonal model and making the first expansion free. However, following the announcement of Ghost of Yōtei, one has to wonder if it would impact sales. After all, they’re both action-adventure games set in Feudal Japan.
CEO Yves Guillemot addressed this in a recent conference call (transcription by VGC). “I would like to say that there’s a lot of space for very high-quality games, and those two games can sell very well.”
Chief financial officer Frederick Duguet also revealed that the team is working to ensure a “fantastic experience.” R…
Mauricio Pochettino wants to begin reshaping the history of the north London derby when he takes his Tottenham side to Arsenal on Saturday.
The Argentine is preparing for his first taste of this famous fixture since being appointed Spurs coach in May and his side have the weight of history against them.
Spurs have occupied Arsenal s shadow for almost the entirety of the Premier League era, having finished above their bitter rivals just twice in that time, most recently in the 1994-95 campaign.
Pochettino is hoping to orchestrate a changing of the guard, though, starting with the short trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Asked at his pre-match news conference about finishing above Arsenal, the 42-year-old responded: We are ambitious.
We [the coaching te…
The Game Awards are just around the corner, and it seems another potential blockbuster announcement has leaked courtesy of Dealabs’ billbil-kun. Based on “recent investigations,” they noted that Nexon’s The First Berserker: Khazan would launch on March 27th, 2025 and that the announcement is due “very soon.”
Given the hardcore action RPG’s gameplay was first revealed at last year’s show, an appearance certainly makes sense. It’s officially slated for early 2025, so a release date announcement seems even more plausible. Pre-orders will allegedly open immediately afterwards with digital and physical editions (planned for Xbox Series X/S and PS5) for $59.99.
The First Berserker: Khazan will be av…

Tate initially arrived on loan from Manchester United in 2002 and was part of the Swansea side that narrowly avoided relegation from the Football League in 2003.
The 32-year-old established himself as a firm fans favourite as Swansea rose through the divisions, but courted controversy in 2006 when he, along with team-mate Lee Trundle, displayed a Welsh flag emblazoned with an anti-Cardiff City message following a 2-1 win over Carlisle United in the Football League Trophy final.
The versatile defender missed the decisive penalty as Swansea lost the League One play-off final to Barnsley later that season.
Tate captained Swansea in their opening Premier Le…
