Square Enix reveals Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, a four-player co-op game

Square Enix has revealed another entry in the Tomb Raider franchise. A fork from the ongoing Tomb Raider reboot, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris features a 4-player co-op arcade experience for Xbox One, PS4, and PC gamers.

According to Square Enix, this game is the sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, a 2010 platforming action game for consoles and mobile devices. The game follows the same arcade-like gameplay from Guardian of Light, but will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One with better graphics and new puzzles.

The Temple of Osiris will feature Croft, rival treasure hunter Carter Bell, and apparently also the Egyptian gods Horus and Isis, which were imprisoned by the “evil” god Set. Despite the big difference in gameplay and story behind this Lara Croft game, the developer behind it is Crystal Dynamics, the very same working on the new Rise of the Tomb Raider game.

The game will require the skills of all four players to help find treasure and ultimately win the game, but players will also simultaneously compete against each other to get the most treasure. We’re betting that the characters will all have different powers and abilities. No word yet on when the game will come out. You can watch the reveal video below.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
