Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – The Wildest Kart Racer Yet? Here’s Why You Need to Pre-Order

Developed by the legends at Sonic Team and published by SEGA, this isn’t just another Sonic racer (though we’d happily take that too!).

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a genre-busting, gadget-stacking, chaos-fueled speed fest. Set to warp onto your screen September 25, 2025, we're talking twisted tracks, dimension-hopping madness, and more mayhem than a Chao on caffeine.

What’s more, pre-order at 2Game and not only do you score 10% off, you’ll also unlock the Werehog bonus pack (yes, Werehog!) complete with his snarling kart and decal. If that doesn’t turn you blue and send your spikes sky-high, we don’t know what will.

What Exactly Is CrossWorlds?

Good question!

Imagine blasting through Green Hill Zone, then suddenly tearing through a futuristic space station, soaring above an underwater city, and drifting through a candy-coated dreamscape—all in one race. That’s Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.

The magic behind the madness is the all-new Travel Ring system. Each of the game’s 24 tracks can dynamically shift through up to 15 unique dimensions mid-race, keeping you on your toes and forcing split-second decisions as the terrain transforms beneath your wheels.

Expect chaos, unpredictability, and enough thrills to fry a turkey. You’re not just racing. You’re warping!

The Ultimate Sonic Roster (Yes, 23 Characters)

This is no side-show line-up. CrossWorlds features 23 playable characters, the largest roster in Sonic racing history. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and the crew are here, but there are surprises, too.

Pre-order players get early access to the Werehog, who arrives with his own feral kart, the Beast Spike, and an exclusive decal. Meanwhile, the Digital Deluxe Edition adds some multiversal flair with three characters from Sonic Prime: Rusty Rose, Tails Nine, and Knuckles the Dread, each bringing their own style to the starting line.

Then there are the free guest characters, with Hatsune Miku, Joker, and Katsuga Ichibin announced so far. There's more to come, but don't worry, we'll keep you posted when new racers drop!

Build the Kart of Your Multiversal Dreams

Stock karts are fine, but CrossWorlds is all about customization. You’ll be choosing from 45 original vehicles, then fine-tuning them with a staggering 70 different gadgets to match your racing style. For example, for tight handling, you can equip a drift-focused mod. Prefer to cause chaos? Load up on power-ups and boost hacks.

And with 23 power-up items, including returning classics and wild new options like the Monster Truck, you’ll have plenty of tricks up your sleeve!

Choose How You Race

Whether you're flying solo or squabbling with friends, online or off, there are plenty of ways to race. And CrossWorlds embraces them all:

Digital Deluxe Edition: Early Access and a Stacked Season Pass

Sonic waits for no one, so why should you? With the Digital Deluxe Edition, you’ll get access to the game three days early, as well as the Sonic Prime Character Pack at launch. And that’s not all.

You’ll also unlock the Season Pass, which includes guest characters, vehicles, tracks, emotes, and more, released across the year post-launch.

Here’s what’s confirmed so far:

It’s like Smash Bros. met Team Sonic Racing, then got sucked through a Travel Ring.

Pre-Order Bonus: The Werehog Is Loose

There’s no denying it, Werehog is one of the coolest pre-order bonuses you could ask for. With his own growling kart and decal, he’s equal parts fan service and power pick.

All you have to do to unlock the beast is pre-order. And when you do it through 2Game, you also save 10%. So really, it’s a no-brainer!

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds: Ready, Set, Warp!

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a full-blown reimagining of what a kart racer can be. With dynamic cross-dimensional tracks, a massive character roster, full vehicle customization, and wild crossover content, it’s easily the most ambitious Sonic racing game ever made.

And with early access, exclusive characters, the Season Pass, and a 10% discount on the table, pre-ordering at 2Game is the best way to get ahead—literally.

So whether you’re a longtime Sonic fan, a kart racing connoisseur, or just here for the madness of SpongeBob vs. Creeper vs. Werehog… this one’s for you!

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4: Who Should You Main?

With Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 launching on July 11, there’s one burning question: who are you maining? This might seem minor, but the skater you choose shapes how you combo, how you flow, and how cool you look when you finally land that sketchy spine transfer clean!

Fortunately, the remake’s roster is stacked. There are the OGs, the Olympians, the trick techs, and, of course, the meme-lords. And while every skater is viable, each one brings its own flavor.

The Finest RPG PC Games You Do Not Want to Miss Out On

RPGs. Who doesn't love them? Granted, some people don't, and it's usually either because they haven't had the chance to play the absolute best RPG PC games on the market, or if they ended up coming across a genuinely good game that isn't a good match for their particular gaming profile. That's fair, of course! Not every game is for everyone.

What we've prepared down below, however, is a lovely list of extremely varied PC RPG games with there being virtually no chance of readers not liking at least some of them. We're not joking, either, as our choices range from literary-level CRPGs to delightfully dynamic action RPG titles. The genre of role-playing games is exceedingly broad, after all.

Whether you're a genre veteran or a sceptic newcomer to PC RPGs, this list of the best RPG games on sale here at 2Game will not leave you wanting. So - no dawdling! Let's get to it!

2Game's Best RPG PC Games - In No Particular Order

While some critics are dead-set on grading each and every game they review (and we've certainly done the same in select cases, as with our yearly top 100 games list), we weren't keen on doing the same this time around. The differences between some of these games are so immense that there's simply no comparing the first game with the last, for example. Take any three games from this list, and someone would plop them down into their own personal top three!

To that end, the PC RPGs featured below come in no particular order. Instead, we've got a short description for each which may or may not help you decide what game is right for your particular affinity for RPG elements.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

A serious contender for this year's GOTY, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 turns the JRPG schema up on its head. Really, it's a French RPG through-and-through, and with a snappy and responsive combat system as well as a mind-boggling main narrative, this is not a game you want to miss out on.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

Guys, look, it's Oblivion, but with a huge gameplay and graphics revamp. What more could an RPG fan possibly ask for?

Avowed

A premiere fantasy ARPG from the makers of Fallout: New Vegas and The Outer Worlds, Avowed sits firmly in the New Weird niche and behaves pretty much exactly like a fantasy version of DOOM at times. That's a glowing recommendation, far as we're concerned, so don't dawdle!

Dragon's Dogma 2

Capcom's triumphant ARPG flagship has more than proven its worth as a delightful choice for single-player gamers. Of course, being a role-playing title, it also ends up being a must-play for genre fans. Its handling of core genre pillars is a tad different from what most of us are used to, too, which ends up being a lovely breath of fresh air in practice!

Welcome to ParadiZe

An all-new wacky zombie-themed hijink, Welcome to ParadiZe is a what-if scenario where zombified humans are put to work by particularly industrious living humans. This top-down hack 'n' slash and strategy game hybrid allows you to tackle the weirdest, most abjectly ridiculous zombie outbreak you've seen yet. If you ever wanted to play Factorio with the undead, this is the game for you!

The Tribe Must Survive

A horror strategy game and RPG hybrid, The Tribe Must Survive is a Lovecraftian Stone Age story where you need to keep an entire tribe's worth of survivors alive, while the Outer Gods of the Outer World attempt to seep into their minds. It's a heck of a ride, just note that it's still in Early Access at this time!

Persona 5 Royal

Arguably the pinnacle of the revered Shin Megami Tensei franchise, Persona 5 Royal is an immaculate exploration of JRPG gameplay tropes combined with classic RPG elements, like turn-based combat and a heavy focus on narrative development.

Monster Hunter World (Iceborne Master Edition)

Monster Hunter World made its way onto this list because it is, indeed, bigger and more complex than Rise. Moreover, it is also a dedicated home console/PC title, giving it an edge in its sheer action RPG elements and progression.

Tales Of Arise

If Persona games are too out-there for your tastes, but you're a fan of anime thingamajigs, Tales of Arise is exactly what it looks like: an anime-themed action RPG that embraces niche tropes and executes upon them with gusto.

The Outer Worlds

Coming from the devs of a wholly different game on this list, The Outer Worlds is a tight, focused FPS/RPG hybrid with a heavy character-based slant. PC gamers will love its gameplay and character customization options, all the while retaining some of that classic New Vegas vibe.

Fallout: New Vegas (Legendary Edition)

One of the games that firmly established Obsidian Entertainment as a household RPG developer is a Fallout offshoot. It builds upon the previous games' lore while adding much of its own schtick to the IP, creating a phenomenally engaging first-person RPG experience.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

Whether you like it or hate it, Skyrim - which came out a whopping dozen years ago, believe it or not! - is a seminal action RPG hit that features classic Bethesda charm and immersion and a modding scene unlike any other. With Starfield on the way, Bethesda is posed to hit another similar slam-dunk, except this time in the flavour of NASApunk sci-fi.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

The first full-fledged turn-based open-world RPG in the revered Yakuza/Like a Dragon IP ended up being a joy to play, as well as establishing the franchise as a unique action RPG for times to come. If the availability of a character creator isn't a huge deal for you, and you prefer interesting narratives and characters instead, this is the one to snag.

Elden Ring

The Dark Souls of massive RPG titles! Indeed, Elden Ring is an open-world Soulslike down to its very bones, but what makes it special is its enchanting overworld and a delightfully strange and metaphysical story - in true From Software fashion, of course. It is quite unlike any other open-world RPG, and a real must-have.

Dark Souls - Remastered

If tight and focused is what you're into, instead, nothing beats the remastered version of the old Dark Souls. It doesn't have the ridiculous immersion and openness of Elder Scrolls games, no, but it's got phenomenal combat and a dreary vibe you'll find nowhere else. Pretty tough, too!

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - Remastered

Another phenomenal JRPG, Wrath of the White Witch delivers one of the finest, coziest, and most warmth-inducing narratives in all of gaming. Feels are the name of the game here, as it's remarkably hard to stay indifferent to the protagonist's unearthly plight!

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Capcom's exploration of the action RPG niche didn't really make waves when it first came out, but Dragon's Dogma sure as heck ended up being treated like a cult classic over time, to the point where a sequel is now underway! Expect a mix between a classic Bioware ARPG and Monster Hunter, and you will not be disappointed.

Are PC RPGs Compatible With Steam Deck?

As we've been increasingly more curious about the growing popularity of handheld gaming, it should come as no surprise that we took special care in checking whether all the RPGs featured on this list are compatible with the Steam Deck. The good news (great news, really) is that they are!

Not only will all the RPGs you just read about work on Steam Deck out of the box, but they also run remarkably well, with solid battery life and rather great performance across the board. So, if you're looking to play some Monster Hunter or Elder Scrolls on the go, this is the ticket!

EA Sports’ Football Push 2026: Here’s the Jig!

Sports games have always existed in a bit of a niche of their own, almost entirely separate from most other video game genres and niches. How many gamers do you know that exclusively play a sports title of this or that type? Heck, there's a non-zero chance you yourself only care about sports titles! And that's perfectly fine, of course: especially if you're in the market for a grand new American football title. That's precisely what we're here to celebrate today, as it were.

It would appear that Electronic Arts has decided to make 2025 the year of American football. More specifically, we're getting both Madden NFL 26 and College Football 26, each of these titles exploring a particular aspect of the sport in a particular way. With College Football 26 very nearly out at the time of writing this article, and NFL 26 slotted for mid-August, now's the time to get the lowdown and hit the ground running. Let's... uh, move on.

Stay tuned for College Football and NFL 26 right here at 2Game!

EA Sports College Football 26: Out on July 10

Set and primed to hit the stores on July 10, EA Sports' College Football 26 is a somewhat unique title that defies expectations in key ways. It is, for example, not coming out on PC at all, and will instead remain a console exclusive on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 platforms. This is a bittersweet decision in our book, as even though Madden NFL is obviously the main dish, College Football 26 aims to zero-in on some key aspects of the college part of the equation.

Specifically, there's a whole lot of things to be excited about when discussing College Football 26, but some of the most impressive bits have to do with the presentation of the whole thing.

For starters, College Football 26 features the first-ever comprehensive implementation of the dynamic time-of-day system in a game of this genre. EA's team has gone all-in on this feature, allowing for regional and seasonal differences in lighting on each and every field across the US of A. "By blending a dynamic time of day with our improved lighting engine, we’ve created a game that looks and feels alive, no matter when or where you play. These features ensure that every game feels distinct, whether it’s a sunny afternoon matchup or a primetime game under the lights," says EA's statement.

Further, College Football 26 also goes all-in on the pageantry and mascot systems. Players will now get to see unique mascot and audience interactions, extremely in-depth pre-game runouts and pageantry routines, and a variety of other related tidbits. Authenticity is the name of the game this time around, and if you're into the gist of college football at all, you're going to find CF26 is by far the most engaging and exhilarating title yet.

All of the above, combined with assorted tech improvements, a fully up-to-date player roster, and true-to-life graphics sets up a massive step forward for the series. Surely you can see by now why it's a bit of a bummer not to have it on PC, right?

EA Sports Madden NFL 26: Out on August 14

In the end, though, College Football 26 really is just the preamble before the really big deal. Jotted down for an August 14 launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2, NFL 26 is the real deal and aims to strike out with a hell of a bang.

"Our goal for Madden NFL 26 is to make each Sunday feel different, and each game feel rewarding," says EA. "Each time you play a game, whether it be vs. the AI, vs. another user, online or offline, you should feel immersed in a rewarding challenge… a strategic chess match… an overall NFL experience where the unique identities of the teams, coaches and players have a meaningful impact on how the game is played and the wins and losses."

This crucial push onwards comes via a three-pronged attack from EA's developers:

Aside from these crucial boons, EA also prides itself on massive improvements when it comes to player speed and responsiveness (movement broadly, too) and the sheer dynamism in how players respond to orders and turf situation. All in all, the game should feel more satisfying and engaging to play than ever before across the board, which is very promising prospect indeed.

Stay tuned for College Football and NFL 26 right here at 2Game!

Sports games have always existed in a bit of a niche of their own, almost entirely separate from most other video game genres and niches. How many gamers do you know that exclusively play a sports title of this or that type? Heck, there’s a non-zero chance you yourself only care about sports titles! And […]

What Gears of War: Reloaded Really Is — And Why It Matters

Few games carry the weight of legacy like Gears of War. For many players, it was their first true taste of cover-based shooting, brooding sci-fi warfare, and that unforgettable ka-chunk of a chainsaw bayonet. Nearly 20 years later, and it's back.

Gears of War: Reloaded remasters the original in Unreal Engine 5, optimized for modern platforms while preserving the battle-scarred grit that made it iconic. Due to launch on August 26th, 2025, this isn’t just a cosmetic update. With all content included, no paid extras, and updated tech across the board, Reloaded aims to set a new benchmark for how gaming legacies should be honored.

But will it hold up under the pressure of its own legend? Let’s break down why this might just be the definitive version of a genre-defining shooter.

A Faithful Rebuild, Not a Reinvention

Gears of War: Reloaded is a ground-up remaster of the 2006 original. With the story, tone, and brutal pace remaining true to the original, this doesn't attempt to reinvent the wheel. Instead, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, it revamps the game's feel and performance on modern hardware.

Truly, whether you’re revisiting the apocalyptic ruins of Sera or witnessing Marcus Fenix’s chainsaw diplomacy for the first time, the visual leap is massive, all while maintaining the game’s gritty, industrial charm. Expect 4K textures, dynamic lighting, high-fidelity reflections, HDR, Dolby Vision, and up to 144 FPS on PC (120 on consoles).

All the Content. No Extra Price

Reloaded includes everything from the original Gears of War, including the post-launch content such as the bonus campaign act, originally exclusive to PC.

No season passes required. No asterisk DLC caveats. No paywalls. We're talking every multiplayer map, every character, and every skin, all baked in.

Old-School Gameplay Meets Modern Comfort

Striking a careful balance between preservation and modernization, players can choose between the classic control scheme (complete with that oh-so-heavy movement weight), or a streamlined modern layout designed for new players.

Whatever your choice, the movement and aiming feel tighter. The UI and text scale beautifully across devices, from 4K TVs to handhelds like the ROG Ally X, without compromising the original’s gruff, military aesthetic.

And for PC players? Expect full keyboard and mouse support, ultrawide resolutions, FSR 3.1 and DLSS 3.5, and even a built-in benchmark mode.

Multiplayer Lives Again—With Cross-Play and Cross-Progression

Gears multiplayer has always been tense, brutal, and deeply tactical. Reloaded brings it back in full force—only faster and sharper.

From Team Deathmatch to King of the Hill, the classics return across beautifully remastered maps like Gridlock, Raven Down, and War Machine.

Even better? Cross-play is fully enabled across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, so you and your friends can squad up no matter where you're playing. And thanks to cross-progression, your multiplayer stats and campaign saves follow you across platforms. Just sign in with your Microsoft Account and pick up where you left off.

The best part? Multiplayer betas kicked off in June, stress-testing everything from matchmaking to platform stability, and early impressions are strong. Whether you're wall-bouncing like it's 2006 or just learning how to roadie run, the competitive core holds up. And then some.

Pre-Order Bonuses and Game Pass Access

You know you'll want to give this one a go, and if you pre-order Gears of War: Reloaded, either digitally or physically, you’ll unlock two exclusive multiplayer character skins:

These skins are automatically unlocked for all players who pre-order or are active Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass members at launch—no separate purchase required.

Why Gears of War: Reloaded Feels Like a Statement

Gears of War: Reloaded doesn’t just exist to ride nostalgia. More than just a trip down memory lane, it's like Microsoft and The Coalition planting a flag.

There's a gold standard for how to modernize a classic, and Gears of War: Reloaded ticks all the right boxes. It's gorgeous, it runs better, and it respects the original’s identity while offering modern comforts.

Reloaded is for the veterans who want to feel that first Locust encounter again. It’s also for the new players curious as to why Gears became such a force in gaming. But most of all, it’s for the future of the series. Because if Reloaded gets this right, you've got to start wondering: what comes next?

Borderlands 4’s Gameplay Loop is Changing: Here’s How!

We already know a whole bunch about Borderlands 4, which is due to hit the stores on September 12, 2025. Not a long way to go, now! The really big deal about this specific entry in the franchise has been largely overlooked up until now, however, and it's got much to do with how Borderlands 4 is going to handle its overworld map.

It's curious, really: STALKER recently went through precisely the same thing! Curious yet? It's the fact that Borderlands 4 is going to be the first proper, full-featured and full-blooded open-world game in the series. This comes with a slew of implications for Borderlands 4's established gameplay loop, and that's precisely what we're going to discuss in this here article.

Pre-order Borderlands 4 today and save a pretty penny at 2Game!

Borderlands 4 is a true open-world game, and that has some big implications

There's no doubt about it: Borderlands 4 represents a major step forward for the franchise in a variety of different ways. Multi-manufacturer guns, for one, would've been nigh-unthinkable just a few years back, and they're about to become one of the most exciting aspects of Borderlands 4 come September. It's a slight shift forward for those who are unfamiliar with the franchise, but in practice, it's a massive leap forward that will only enable more creativity and interesting buildcrafting as the game progresses.

A similar approach has been taken in a variety of other areas too, however. Borderlands 4 is, for example, the first franchise entry that's going to be truly open-world. What we mean by this is that we're no longer going to have a slew of unique, bespoke levels connected with one another via loading gates. Instead, virtually everything's going to be either loaded in via the initial loading screen or streamed into the game as players move across the overworld!

Note that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl made a similar transition compared to the older STALKER games, which resulted in two important developments:

It's not a win-win-win across the board, in other words, though in the case of STALKER 2, the wins are rather self-evident. This results in a game that's much more interesting, reactive, and immersive to play at the cost of being more difficult to render. How this might function in Borderlands 4 we don't know yet, but we do know that the franchise had always been built for something like this, and it's 100% the logical step forward.

Vehicular combat is changing... as is everything else!

Switching over to true open-world puts a non-insignificant amount of pressure on virtually all the other gameplay systems. Vehicles, for example, now function more-or-less precisely the same as they do in Destiny, of all games! Borderlands 4 equips you with a fancy, customizable hoverbike kind of thing that will spawn-in whenever you need it to. No more will you need to run to the nearest Catch-A-Ride station whenever your vehicle gets borked to bits!

Moreover, Borderlands 4 characters come equipped with a bevy of bonus mobility options on top of vehicles and all the other goodies we've become accustomed to. Grappling hooks, parkour, double-jumping, gliding, grappling, and dashing are all on the docket, on top of the usual assortment of sprints, slides, and cover options. If you can think it, you can probably pull it off in Borderlands 4.

Two more important bits to note here: players are going to have their own sidekick drone in Borderlands 4: Echo-4, who is going to take over a wealth of tasks previously accomplished by Claptrap(s) and the like. Will Echo-4 be more or less annoying than Claptrap? We don't know, but we've got our hopes up, that's for sure!

The second important bit is that Borderlands 4's open-world sandbox is going to take one more feature from Destiny 2, and that's the Patrol Zone kind of gameplay. Specifically, you can expect a host of unique, semi-randomized events to spawn as you travel across the planet of Kairos. This in particular we think fits in perfectly with the kind of game Borderlands has always been, and it should make things much less static and uninteresting after the players are done with all of the game's optional side-content.

Expect massively improved exploration and mobility, but the rest is a big question mark

We'd be lying if we said we weren't excited for the sheer potential on display in Borderlands 4. Its immediate predecessor honestly nailed the gameplay loop side of things, only for it all to come apart thanks to its annoying villain, poorly written story, and - at launch - unskippable cutscenes. It wasn't a great experience and though it got fixed up later on, it lacked the sort of oomph and a brave layer of novelty that Borderlands 4 appears to have in droves.

On paper, Borderlands 4 takes all the best bits from Borderlands 3 and combines them with the first Borderlands' more somber, grim-looking narrative and absurdist humor. Every single switch and change we've seen so far only underlines the idea that Gearbox knows exactly what it's doing this time around, and so we've got our hopes up!

For more Borderlands 4 coverage, be sure to stay tuned to 2Game, as we've got heaps more content coming your way. Are you excited, too, or do you dread B4 with all your being?

2Game Summer Sale: Featuring Cygames!

One of the biggest successes we enjoy here at 2Game is the addition of a new publisher's gaming library to our own. Whether it's a small-scale indie operation or a globe-spanning AAA super-company, we're always thrilled to introduce our users to a roster of awesome new titles, and that's precisely what went down with Cygames!

Cygames was, up until relatively recently, largely known for its efforts in the mobile game space. Those who recall Mobage from back in the day may recall Rage of Bahamut or Tiger & Bunny, for example, which were all the rage in Asian markets for a while. Now, though, Cygames has expanded its operations substantially, and though it's still inclined towards Android and iOS in many cases, console-level releases are finally on the menu as well. This includes PC, naturally!

To celebrate the occasion, you may be thrilled to hear that Cygames has joined our big Summer Sale 2025 with a number of their top-selling titles. We've got prices slashed by up to 70% on select games, so if you're even remotely interested in Cygames' anime-themed titles, this is the place to be!

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising @61% off

Fighting game fans have been eating well over the past couple of years, but it's not like you have to rely on Street Fighter and Tekken to deliver top-notch combat gameplay, either. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is easily one of the best modern fighting games with a full stack of cutting-edge tech to back up its awesome gameplay loop. All the characters are fun and unique, with reasonable balancing maintained throughout the roster, and don't forget about rollback netcode, either! Basically, the bread and butter of the genre.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink @60% off

Another excellent Granblue Fantasy title, albeit this time an RPG! Though it won't be for everyone, Relink is a true and proper JRPG with a slight Gacha lean and a humongous amount of content to parse through. A perfect match for those who want to put in dozens of hours into a game and still have a huge library of content to engage with. Just beware of the grind: there's lots of it!

Little Noah: Scion of Paradise @70% off

Which Edition of Little Nightmares III Should You Buy? Is the Deluxe Version Worth It?

Little Nightmares III launches on October 10th, and we're counting down the sleeps. But choosing between the Standard and Digital Deluxe editions isn’t just about price. It’s about how far you’re willing to fall down the Spiral, and this is a decision only you can make.

Both editions require the courage to get you through the front door. One invites you deeper, into places you probably shouldn’t go. But hey, that's what the series is all about, right?

Here’s how to figure out which edition is right for you. No fluff. No pitchforks. Just straight-up facts with a bit of insight thrown in for good measure.

Little Nightmares III Standard Edition – A Solidly Dark Start

If you’re here for the core experience — to meet Low and Alone, sneak past monsters, solve some puzzles, and attempt to survive the Spiral — the Standard Edition gives you exactly what you need.

You get:

Yes, immediately, no need to wait for LN3’s release. You can start your descent right now, with the game that started it all

Whether you’re revisiting The Maw or entering it for the first time, pre-ordering is the perfect way to experience the creepy, sparse world that makes Little Nightmares so quietly terrifying, without having to wait.

Little Nightmares III Digital Deluxe Edition – Go Deeper (If You Dare)

Now, if the Standard Edition is a plunge… the Digital Deluxe Edition is a bottomless pit. This version is for the lore hounds, the fan theorists, the players who don’t just want to escape, they want to understand the Spiral.

Here’s what it adds:

The Ferryman and Residents Costume Sets are clearly intriguing, but it’s the extra chapters that really make the Deluxe Edition worth it. If you’ve played Little Nightmares before, you know the expansions are always more than just bonus levels.

They’re more like connective tissue, answering questions you didn’t know to ask, and hinting at bigger patterns in the horror. Sometimes, even reframing the whole story.

The Digital Deluxe is for the fans who still think about The Lady’s mirror. Those who spent way too long pausing to study the environment, and for whom questions are still buzzing around their heads way after the credits roll. If you want the full Little Nightmares experience, it's for you.

So, Which Edition of Little Nightmares III Should You Get?

This really comes down to what kind of player you are. If you just want the main event, go Standard. You’ll get a full, haunting experience, with a free classic to tide you over if you pre-order.

However, if you know your curiosity will likely get the better of you, you have to go Deluxe. The expansion pass will be sure to dish up some of the wildest, most experimental ideas. And when everyone’s unpacking lore on Discord in six months time? You’ll be glad to be in the loop.

Monster Hunter Wilds Premium Deluxe Edition: Everything You Need To Know Before Buying

Monster Hunter Wilds is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and Capcom is offering the game in three different editions. The Premium Deluxe Edition sits at the top of the pricing tier at $109.99, which is a $40 premium over the Standard Edition's $69.99 price tag. That's a significant jump for what amounts to purely cosmetic content, so let's break down exactly what you're getting and whether it's worth the investment.

What's Actually Included In The Premium Deluxe Edition

The Premium Deluxe Edition bundles the base game with the Monster Hunter Wilds Cosmetic DLC Pass. This pass includes three separate DLC packs, with all content now available. You're paying for cosmetic content that was released in stages throughout 2025.

The first pack is the Deluxe Pack, which includes 16 cosmetic items like the Feudal Soldier layered armor set, Felyne Ashigaru armor for your Palico companion, unique gestures like Battle Cry and Uchiko, and two hairstyles called Hero's Topknot and Refined Warrior. You also get decorations for your Seikret mount, pendants, makeup options, sticker sets, and a special nameplate.

Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 includes another 16 items. This pack features the Noblesse layered armor set, additional pendants with color variations, photo poses, a BGM set, and customization options for your pop-up camp. Cosmetic DLC Pack 2 rounds out the offering with 14 items, featuring the Cypurrpunk layered armor set, new hairstyles like Wild Braids and Futuristic Crop, gesture sets, and more pendants. Of course, there are already some post-launch extras you may miss out on here, but they're not a huge deal, arguably.

The Premium Bonus includes Wyverian Ears layered armor, a hunter profile set, and a 2025 recording of the series theme Proof of a Hero. That music track is already available on YouTube for free, which tells you everything you need to know about the value proposition here.

Breaking Down The Price Difference

At $109.99, the Premium Deluxe Edition costs $40 more than the Standard Edition. The Deluxe Edition sits in the middle at $89.99, giving you the base game plus the Deluxe Pack for $20 extra. That means the two additional cosmetic packs and the Premium Bonus are valued at $20 when you step up from Deluxe to Premium Deluxe.

To put this in perspective, $40 is typically what developers charge for major story expansions. The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC launched at $39.99 and included an entirely new region, dozens of hours of content, new weapons, and challenging boss fights. The Monster Hunter Wilds Premium Deluxe Edition gives you armor skins and emotes.

Zero Gameplay Advantages

Everything in the Premium Deluxe Edition is purely cosmetic. There are no stat boosts, no exclusive weapons, no additional quests, and no gameplay content whatsoever. The layered armor system in Monster Hunter already lets you wear the appearance of any armor you've crafted over your actual gear, so these cosmetic sets don't provide functionality that isn't already built into the base game.

The DLC packs don't add new monster hunts or story content. You're paying $40 for the privilege of looking different while doing the exact same activities that Standard Edition players are doing. For a series that has always been about earning your gear through hunts and crafting, paying extra to bypass that visual progression feels oddly disconnected from what makes Monster Hunter special.

You Can Buy Everything Separately

Here's the crucial detail that Capcom mentions in the fine print: all of this content is available to purchase separately. If you buy the Standard Edition and later decide you really need that Cypurrpunk armor set, you can grab it individually without committing $40 upfront for a bundle of cosmetics you might not even want.

This approach gives you flexibility to choose which cosmetic packs actually appeal to you. The Premium Deluxe Edition forces you to commit to all three packs, with no refunds if you end up regretting the purchase.

Who Should Actually Buy The Premium Deluxe Edition

The Premium Deluxe Edition makes sense for a very specific type of player. If you're a longtime Monster Hunter fan who values cosmetic customization above all else, has disposable income, and wants to support Capcom regardless of the value proposition, then go ahead and grab it. For everyone else, the Standard Edition is the smart choice.

The cosmetic DLC Pass doesn't offer enough content to justify doubling down on a $70 base game. You can spend that $40 on other games, or save it to purchase individual cosmetic packs later if something really catches your eye. The Standard Edition gives you the complete Monster Hunter Wilds experience with no missing gameplay features or content.

Save Data Bonuses For Returning Players

Players with save data from Monster Hunter: World or Iceborne will receive bonus items when they start Wilds, regardless of which edition they purchase. These bonuses include equipment for your Palico and a nameplate for your Hunter Profile.

Little Nightmares III Release Date and Pre-Order Bonuses – Why It Pays To Go Early!

Brace yourselves. The Spiral opens on October 10, 2025, and Little Nightmares III is ready to drag us to depths darker than ever.

But here’s the twist: if you pre-order, the nightmare begins today! And that’s not just a spooky tagline.

Bandai Namco’s pre-order offer isn’t some throwaway cosmetic pack or a mildly glowing flashlight. Instead, you get a killer outfit set, full of meaning. And, most excitingly, you also receive Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, available to download and play immediately. Impressed? We certainly are! Read on to find out more.

What You Get When You Pre-Order Little Nightmares III

Pre-ordering Little Nightmares III not only sets you up to look the part for when the nightmare begins, but it also gives you something right now. And that's not just a keychain or digital wallpaper.

We’re talking meaningful, story-connected content that sets the mood before you even touch the new release. Here's what you get when you pre-order Little Nightmares III:

Dark Six Costumes Set

If you’ve played the original Little Nightmares, you know Six: The yellow raincoat. The quiet defiance. The trauma - she was literally the face of the franchise.

Now, Six doesn't seem to be in Little Nightmares III (as far as we know), but her presence lingers through the Dark Six costume set, which both new protagonists, Low and Alone, can wear.

A bold, creepy nod for returning players, and a quietly haunting mystery for new ones, this isn’t just a cute callback. It’s eerie, in a 'why-are-these-kids-wearing-her-shadow?' kind of way. The sort of cosmetic you can tell means more than meets the eye.

Is it about legacy? About how the nightmare never really ends? I guess we'll find out. What's for certain, though, is that if you’re the kind of fan who digs deep into every piece of visual storytelling, this skin is bound to fuel theory threads for months!

Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition — Free, Remastered, and Playable Now

Now, this is the real showstopper. When you pre-order Little Nightmares III, you immediately unlock the Enhanced Edition of the original Little Nightmares, fully remastered in 4K at 60 FPS.

That means you can start playing today, long before LN3 launches on October 10.

This isn't a teaser or demo. It’s the full game, beautifully upgraded for modern systems. Whether you're discovering the Maw for the first time or returning to see it in a new light, this version brings your nightmares to life harder than ever.

And the best part? It’s more than just a nostalgia trip; it’s prep work. From the eerie environmental storytelling to the surreal pacing and world logic, Little Nightmares III draws on the DNA of the first game in ways both subtle and overt, and playing the original is the best way to prepare yourself for what’s to come.

More Than Just Another Pre-Order Bonus

It’s not every day that a pre-order bonus adds this much depth. Pre-order Little Nightmares III before its October 10th launch, and you don't just get a fancy skin and a freebie. You get context. A visual reminder of what came before, and a playable window into the tone and tension the series thrives on, with a free enhanced copy of the highly rated original.

It’s a smart move by Bandai Namco. Little Nightmares III is being developed by Supermassive Games this time, and while they’re known for their horror chops, they’re stepping into a very specific world. Gifting players the remastered first game is like handing you a flashlight before pushing you into the dark.

It's a way to reorient returning fans and give new players a proper introduction to the tone and texture of the series as you count down the days till the new release. It’s thoughtful. Strategic. And most importantly? It's a very good deal! Certainly, not one to miss.
