The release has been pushed to between September and October.

Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play FPS, XDefiant, has been delayed by a wee bit. This is due to the fact that the game has been refused certification by both Microsoft and Sony.

Good news for PC players, bad news for PlayStation 5 players.

It was certainly a curious thing when The Last of Us multiplayer project was a no-show during the latest PlayStation Showcase event this week. The last we heard anything about this project came in January 2023 when Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann promised we would hear more about it later in 2023.

Technically, he didn't lie because there was some new information shared today about the multiplayer project. Only it's probably not...
