A week ago, while belabouring the nuances of Arco, I expressed a wish to play more bullet hell games with time freeze mechanics, the better to savour the intricacy of their projectile patterning. Now here's Moon Watch, a Vampire Survivors-ish pixelart shooter in which you have a watch that stops time when you stand still. Snug within that frozen instant, you're free to laugh in the gurning faces of the living dead while you idly choose and aim garlic grenades, stake launchers and bouncy ice comets.

Level-5’s open world detective RPG DECAPOLICE has looked like an intriguing prospect ever since its announcement last year, though clearly, the game is taking longer to get to the finish live than its developer had anticipated. Originally due out in 2023, the game was delayed to 2024, but has now been pushed back yet again.

It looks like Ubisoft’s pre-launch preparations for Assassin’s Creed Shadows have hit a snag. As per a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, Ubisoft has cancelled hands-on press previews it had planned for the upcoming open world action RPG. The report claims press outlets and media were scheduled to go hands-on with the game next week, but that’s no longer planned. Why that is the case hasn’t been confirmed.

Activision has announced all the changes coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer based on feedback to the recent beta.
