Super Woden: Rally Edge is the Perfect Follow-up to Forza Horizon 6

Overview & Key Takeaways

The next great racing game of 2026 is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch in September

Forza Horizon 6 is one of the best-reviewed games of the year, and has made 2026 a banner year for racing games fans. These days, the genre rarely sees such huge, big-budget, mass-market productions as this, let alone ones that turn out so well.

If you're starting to tire of the Festival Playlists, though — or if you're a PlayStation player still waiting for Forza Horizon 6 to come to PS5 — then early September brings another essential racing game, albeit one from right at the other end of the scale.

Super Woden: Rally Edge is an arcade time trial game made by solo Spanish developer ViJuDa. It was released on Steam back in January, to great acclaim from people who really know their racing games. On Sept. 2 it will get a console release, courtesy of Eastasiasoft, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. (There's a physical edition coming in October that also includes the game's predecessors, Super Woden GP and Super Woden GP 2.)

Super Woden: Rally Edge is a retro arcade racing game that's simplicity itself. It's just about you and the track, and the only goal is to beat the time for the stage. Like the other Super Woden games, it has a high, top-down camera angle that gives it a kind of toylike, Micro Machines-style view. The grainy, slightly cel-shaded aesthetic is inspired by early Gran Turismo and other PS1-era games, and it's full of unlicensed tributes to great retro rally cars like the Lancia Stratos.

Most importantly, it drives brilliantly. Rally Edge is a purist's dream with a simple but fantastic handling model, and you can't fail to be sucked into mastering the courses and shaving seconds off your times. There's a surprisingly expansive career mode in which you can buy and upgrade your cars, as well as solid local multiplayer for four players. Oh, and it's also got an absolutely banging soundtrack.

Super Woden: Rally Edge is the best kind of retro throwback — a game that does one thing exceptionally well in a way nobody else does any more. Give its immediate thrills a chance when it launches on consoles on Sept. 2.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation Extended Gameplay Look Highlights Wutai, Highwind Exploration, Queen's Blood, Side Quests, And More

!Final Fantasy VII Revelation April 8 2027 Release Date PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X/S Nintendo Switch 2 PC(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/d8c25029/ff701.jpg.webp) Square Enix has released another trailer for Final Fantasy VII Revelation(https://gameinformer.com/product/final-fantasy-vii-revelation), this time a whopping 10-minute look at the game's characters, story, setting, and so much more. Plus, the trailer also revealed that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on April 8, 2027. The trailer begins by highlighting each playable party member alongside new looks at the game's expanded combat, then breaks to reveal the April 8 release date. After that, director Naoki Hamaguchi(https://gameinformer.com/sgf-2026/2026/06/12/we-asked-final-fantasy-vii-revelation-director-naoki-hamaguchi-whats-next-for) appeared on camera to introduce the rest of the trailer, and we learn more about how Cloud and Co. will jump from the Highwind airship and parachute down to the planet below, Fortnite-style. Once on the ground, you can hop onto your trusty chocobo and sprint/glide/fly around as far as the eye can see. Plus, this chocobo can be an active participant in combat now, and of course, you can also just hop off and fight with your character's weapons, too. Check out the release date trailer for Final Fantasy VII Revelation below: For the uninitiated, the FITS (Function-Integrated Tactical Suitware) system is the new addition to Revelation's combat, and it's basically this game's Job system, allowing different party members to slot into various classes like warrior, black mage, and more. You can access your party's FITS on the Highwind, which is your base of operations in Revelation. To head to a new location, pilot the Highwind there in real time, and when you're ready to jump, hop on out and parachute down to the ground below. You'll be bringing the Highwind to returning locations like Junon and new ones, too, like Wutai, Yuffie's ninja-centric homeland. This trailer offered a great look at Wutai, which looks like a fantastical take on feudal Japan, and Yuffie's grapple gun makes traversing its towering buildings a breeze. In addition to Wutai, Revelation features several new areas, such as Rocket Town, though the trailer stops short of showing it. However, the trailer does bring us back to Gongaga, which first appeared in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Here, Square Enix explains that side quests in locations like Gongaga will reveal more about what's happening in the world, including the whereabouts of other characters from the wider Final Fantasy VII universe of games and media. Strangely, Revelation lets you to speed up cutscenes by 2x, allowing you to blitz through narrative moments (though I'm not sure why you would do that outside of, potentially, repeated playthroughs). It turns out, side quests and the unfolding narratives associated with them will change based on who you are controlling in the party. Cissnei reacts differently when working with Vincent, for example, versus Yuffie, but Square Enix says players can discover that in April. One of the best parts of Rebirth, the optional but incredible Queen's Blood card game, returns in Revelation. This time, Red XIII is the protagonist of this Queen's Blood saga, and during his adventure, he'll encounter powerful opponents that turn standard bouts on their heads. To close out the trailer, Hamaguchi asks that players get through Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth ahead of Revelation's launch in April. Final Fantasy VII Revelation hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC on April 8, 2027.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Is Out This October With A Very Special Guest🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platform

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Is Out This October With A Very Special Guest

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/warhammer-40000-boltgun-2-announced-very-unexpected-spin-off-out-now/1100-6531732/) is one of the most highly anticipated games in the entire Warhammer franchise, and we'll be able to play it very soon. Even better, it's going to feature a guest appearance by one of the most legendary composers in the history of first-person shooters. On October 14, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will release across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Switch 2 release to follow "shortly after" the other versions, according to the official announcement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRCcxzt-j8A If you like the tune blasting in the game's release-date trailer, there's a good reason for that: Mick Gordon(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/after-a-decade-of-waiting-mick-gordon-is-finally-performing-doom-live/) of Doom and Wolfenstein fame is responsible. His composition is described as a "cameo" appearance and will play during the final boss fight. If that doesn't get you pumped to slay the enemies of the Emperor, nothing will. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 expands on the first game's boomer-shooter action, letting you play as either Ultramarine Malum Caedo like in the first game or as Battle Sister Nyra Veyrath. You'll be going up against the daemonic demigod Vashtorr as well as countless other enemies, and if it's anything like the first game, you can expect to be turning lots of them into tiny pieces of bloody flesh. The first game was also brutally difficult, and we expect the sequel to follow suit.
