Crystal Dynamics’ beloved dark fantasy action-adventure series Legacy of Kain could be poised to receive the remaster treatment, if newly sighted branding at Comic-Con is to be believed.

As spotted by a user on Resetera, logos for an unannounced “Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered” were included on display plaques accompanying statues of game characters Kain and Raziel at this week’s Comic-Con San Diego show.

A Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver graphic novel prequel, The Dead Shall Rise, was recently announced by Dark Horse Comics, and GameSpot has now received confirmation from the publisher’s VP of product development and sales that this is due to release in August.

Amid of swirl of rumours suggesting Microsoft was prepping more Call of Duty for an imminent Xbox Game Pass release, the company has confirmed last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will join on its subscription service this Wednesday, 24th July.

Following a bit of a tease at least year’s BlizzCon, Blizzard has given Overwatch 2’s 41st hero the full reveal treatment. And that’s not all! Juno, as the shooter’s new Martian space ranger is known, is available to play today for a limited-time.

When Blizzard first teased Juno last year, she was known only by the codename Space Ranger. It was, however, confirmed, she’d be Overwatch’s first Martian character, as well as a “highly mobile support hero”. Eight months later and we now have a much clearer idea of who Juno is, as well as what she can do, thanks to a brand-new gameplay trailer showcasing her abilities.

Sporting a kind of retrofuturistic look, complete with jet-infused roller-boots and a slinky ray gun, Juno leans heavily on speedy traversal. Her pa…

Xbox has revealed a new “Cheeky Controller” in a Deadpool design to celebrate the new Deadpool & Wolverine Marvel film, with a rather prominent behind.
