The game puts you behind the wheel of transforming vehicles that give you the freedom to speed seamlessly across racetracks, off-road terrain and open waters. There’s a story mode, single races and cup series tournaments, and even some mini-games to get stuck into. The game launches on May 19 and pre-orders are open now:

The next Lord of the Rings game will arrive on May 25, when Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches on PS5 and PS4.

Taking place parallel to the events described in The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an action-adventure game billed as “an epic interactive experience”. You play as Gollum himself, embarking on a perilous journey to discover how he has outwitted the most powerful characters in Middle-earth.

Cross-play, cross-progression and couch co-op are all supported too, meaning you have multiple ways to play.

Final Fantasy XVI, the 16th main entry in the series, is giving the franchise a darker turn with “a complex story of revenge, power struggles and inevitable tragedy”. The game reimagines the series’ summons as Econs – deadly creatures housed within Dominants, males and females who inherit their immense power at birth.

You’ll be playing as Clive Rossfield, head of Ekon Phoenix, Rosaria’s first shield and guardian of her younger brother Joshua. Expect all kinds of epic action-RPG goodness when it arrives on June 22:
