It seemed as if it was inevitable. After the huge amount of attention the idea for a Red Dead Redemption sequel got, Rockstar has finally gone and released a new trailer for their next game, Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released in Fall 2017, so long as there aren't any delays that may push it back. Rockstar are known to delay their games in cases where everything isn't quite perfect, so Fall 2017 is for now, best seen as an estimation for the release date of the game.

We really don't know anything about Red Dead Redemption 2 yet, besides the fact that it looks beautiful. Unsurprisingly the trailer has showcased an unprecedented level of Rockstar style detail on the wildlife and scenery.

The trailer also showcases a group of seven characters riding horses near the end, which perfectly matches the number shown on the original teaser poster. Whilst this is speculation on our part, it sounds like the seven characters may be at the forefront of the

A Major PlayStation 4 system update has just launched and should be rolling out to all regions that support the PS4 as we speak. The new PS4 update brings a number of changes to the user interface that many PlayStation owners will be happy to find out about.

Firstly, a more refined experience has been added to the main UI with thanks to new system backgrounds, updated system icons and revised pop up notifications and drop down menus to make it easier to navigate through everything.

Another great change is the adjustments made to the Quick Menu. The new Quick Menu will now no longer take up the entirety of the screen, which means you can still pay attention to what's happening in your game or on your PS4 system and still access the Quick Menu at the same time.

The Quick Menu also has an improved music player app - you can now quickly skip songs and change music via the USB music player or Spotify app. Sony has also attempted to make it so that the Quick Menu options

Mafia 3 will be following a similar path that many other video games have taken recently. When it comes to additional content after launch, Mafia 3 will be getting DLC in the form of extra story expansions, but there will also be a number of free updates and additional support after launch.

We don't know everything about the free content that will be coming to Mafia 3 just yet, but we do know that there will be something called 'free recurring content' that will be making it's way to the game. The free content will include features such as new character outfits, weapons packs, vehicle customization options, entries into events and additional rewards.

It's likely that all of this free content will be introduced to the game slowly after Mafia 3 launches. As for the paid DLC, like mentioned before, Mafia 3 will receive a number of story expansions that will hit the game sometime after the launch of the game. All of the story expansions will be available as part of the season

In a huge new sponsorship deal, OpTic has teamed up with Pepsi to bring a brand new energy drink to the market. Aimed at gamers looking for the best fuel to power up their own game, the new drink is called Brisk Mate. The Mate in Brisk Mate is pronounced mah-tay and is based off of a South American leaf that is used in the drink that has the same pronunciation at the end of it's name. The drink is an iced tea that comes in a range of different flavors and also comes with a range of other benefits you'd hope to see in an energy drink.

The Brisk Mate drink has been described to give players a "smooth, energizing spark" and as well as using the sponsorship deal to showcase their new drink, Pepsi will allow the OpTic teams from different games to drink the drink at events - we'd expect there to be enough Brisk Mate to last the entire OpTic organisation for an entire lifetime.

Perhaps the coolest thing to come from the new sponsorship deal, at least for us viewers, is a number

Now that backwards compatibility has been added to the Xbox One, we have plenty of exciting things to look forward to in the future. Whilst the catalogue of available backwards compatible Xbox 360 games is still quite expansive, Microsoft plans to add more games to the list.

In fact, Microsoft has revealed that they will be unveiling new backwards compatible titles each month. If you've got any Xbox 360 games lying around that aren't yet supported for backwards compatibility, we'd definitely suggest holding onto them.

Phil Spencer revealed on Twitter that the Xbox team will announce new games monthly. It's expected that each month a new updated list will be posted online by somebody working at Xbox, although the exact date for the monthly titles has not yet been decided.

It's great to see that Microsoft will still be putting resources into the new backwards compatibility feature. I personally cannot wait to see what new games are added to the list each month. I have

WWE 2K16 is going to get what might just be the toughest guest character the franchise has ever seen. As you can imagine, a lot of players are getting super hyped up about the new guest character.

As the title suggests, the latest WWE title will see the Terminator as a guest character but unfortunately it will be limited to those that pre-order the game.

The news was revealed as part of a brand new release trailer for WWE 2K16. In the release trailer, a live action segment of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator is shown. The live action seen is a recreation of the bar scene from Terminator 2 and this time round the characters have been replaced with WWE wrestlers. On top of Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, the trailer features Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Paige and Eva Marie, as well as Finn Balor, who will be making his debut in WWE 2K16.

The trailer doesn't show Arnie in game so we don’t know how much of a resemblance his in-game character will have of him or exactly

The latest Games with Gold promotion for August has now been announced and Major Nelson has revealed four different games that will be available throughout August for both Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Like previous months, the Xbox 360 will be getting two games and the Xbox One will be getting two different games as well. Personally I think August's lineup may be one of the best we have ever seen so far.

Firstly, on Xbox 360 we have Metro 2033 available currently and it will remain available till August 15. On August 16, Metro 2033 will be replaced with Metro Last Light. Metro Last Light is a direct sequel of Metro 2033 so you'll be able to play through both games this month in order.

Each Metro game is a post apocalyptic themed first person shooter. As the title of the game would suggest, the majority of both games takes place inside the Metro system underneath Moscow.

The great deals are available on the Xbox One as well. Throughout the entirety of August, Metal

A brand new trailer and a number of screenshots have been released for Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, and alongside it a release date has been announced by NIS America. Danganronpa Another Episode is set for release this September in Europe and North America.

Danganronpa Another Episode will be released on the PS Vita on September 1 in North America and September 4 in Europe.

Danganronpa Another Episode will take a slightly different approach to the first two games in the series. This time round, the action adventure title will focus on two heroines - Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa. Both the characters are thrown into Towa City, and it’s been plagued with despair and depression.

The Danganronpa series has always been one of NIS America’s more action packed titles, so if you’re not so much for the turn based JRPG style of their other games, you may be more interested in Danganronpa Another Episode.

In Danganronpa Another Episode, Komaru Naegi

Rockstar has announced their plans for their next DLC content expansion for GTA Online and it will include a number of high class luxury items for players to purchase. Considering that the new heists have given players a large number of ways to earn millions worth of cash on GTA Online, the upcoming Ill-Gotten Gains update couldn't come at a better time.

The new Ill-Gotten Gains update for GTA V will be released in two parts, the first of which will be coming next week. So far Rockstar hasn't detailed all of the new items that will be in the update, but they have shown off a number of screenshots showcasing the new items.

Players can expect to find high end clothes, gold weapon skins, gold planes, gold cars and all sorts of other over the top luxury items, vehicles and vehicle wraps.

The second part of the Ill-Gotten Gains update for GTA V has not yet received a release date, but we're likely to hear more about it once the first part is released next week. Rockstar

After years worth of rumors and false information spreading across the internet about a new Fallout game, we may finally be hearing something official from Bethesda themselves. On Monday, some Fallout fans noticed that the official Fallout website design has changed.

The previous content on the Fallout website has been replaced with a large countdown timer that will end at some time tomorrow. As you can imagine, there's definitely going to be some kind of Fallout related announcement tomorrow and it it's very likely that it could be to do with a brand new Fallout game.

Considering that E3 is just around the corner it'd make perfect sense for Bethesda to announce a brand new game to grow hype ahead of the onslaught of other video games that are bound to be announced at E3.

Unfortunately we still have no idea about what the next Fallout game will be like and Bethesda has done an incredible job to keep everything hidden from their fans. Once the countdown timer is over,
