Voyager’s Back—But Now You’re the Captain!

Did NOT see this coming: Star Trek: Voyager is getting a rogue-lite survival game! You’ll steer Janeway’s crew through the Delta Quadrant, making tough calls, managing resources, and hoping you all make it home. Think FTL vibes but with classic Trek drama. No release date yet, but it’s up for pre-order and just in time for Trek’s 60th anniversary. Who’s ready to boldly go (and maybe totally mess up)? #News #StarTrekVoyager #GamingNews

Will Dawnwalker’s Combat Change RPGs Forever?

The Blood of Dawnwalker is aiming to shake up vampire RPGs with a hybrid combat system inspired by Batman: Arkham Asylum and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The ex-Witcher 3 devs want fights to feel both cinematic and strategic, ditching button-mashing for real-time positioning and tactical swordplay. Is this the evolution RPG combat needs, or will it be too complex for most players? Would you prefer immersive swordplay or classic action controls? #Games #VideoGames #gamingnews

Clone Wars: Horizon vs. Light of Motiram

Is it inspiration or imitation? Sony just sued Tencent’s Polaris Quest, claiming their new survival game, Light of Motiram, is a near-carbon copy of Horizon Zero Dawn. After the lawsuit, the devs quickly scrubbed their Steam page of robot mastodons and that unmistakable anime Aloy. Is this a necessary defense of creative IP, or is the gaming industry too quick to call ‘clone’? Where’s the line between homage and ripoff? #Games #VideoGames #gamingnews

Why Are Horror Games Disappearing?

Stray Souls, a psychological horror game inspired by Silent Hill, is being delisted less than two years after launch. Despite a promising start, it struggled with clunky mechanics and failed to innovate, leading to its quiet exit from Steam. As more digital-only games vanish, are we losing cult classics before they get a second chance? Is this a sign of a broken digital marketplace or just natural selection? #Games #VideoGames #gamingnews

Sometimes, your favorite games are caught in boardroom battles, not just development limbo. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #gamingnews

Detroit Casinos Still Rake in Big Bucks

Detroit’s casinos just pulled in over $100 million in June—even though revenue dipped compared to last year and last month. MGM Grand Detroit is still the big boss, snagging nearly half the market share, while MotorCity and Hollywood Casino at Greektown trailed behind. Table games and slots brought in most of the cash, but sports betting took a big hit, dropping 25% from last year! Despite the slump, these casinos are still major money-makers. Curious to see if they’ll bounce back next month? #News #DetroitCasinos #GamingNews

How do you think this will impact the gaming community and future console launches? #NintendoSwitch #GamingNews #PriceHike #Games #VideoGames
