Last Friday (August 2) saw Coach launch its first gaming efforts as part of the Find Your Courage campaign. The crossover sees Coach products appear in two Roblox titles – Fashion Klossette and Fashion Famous Two – as well as gaming/social media platform Zepeto. We were lucky enough to attend the launch event at Coach’s flagship store in New York, and talk to SVP of Global Visual Experience Gio Zaccariello and VP of Marketing Kimberly Wallengren about the collaboration and bringing fashion to Roblox.

Twinfinite: Why did you choose Roblox and Zepeto for the collaboration over any other platforms?

As more and more people worldwide are getting concerned with their digital presence, some of the world’s biggest brands are taking the opportunity to heighten their own online persona. The latest of these is renowned fashion house Coach, who launched its first gaming collaboration as part of the ongoing Find Your Courage campaign. Recently we got a look at the Coach’s collaborations, Fashion Klossette and Fashion Famous 2, as well as its collaboration with social media platform Zepeto.

Virtual Runways

Both games have similar mechanics and gameplay loops. In each game, players are tasked with creating a look for the runway, before they walk a virtual runway. In each round, players rate each other’s looks, with the winner being whichever player has created the best look.

Can Season 2 match the hype? Here are ten things you might have missed in The Last of Us Season 2 teaser, and what they might mean.

Twinfinite’s Lewis Rees (LR): Why did you decide on crabs as the stars of your game?

We recently saw the official reveal of the next Life is Strange game. Life is Strange: Double Exposure follows original heroine Max as she solves a murder mystery using her new powers to explore parallel universes. While we love Max, we can’t help but feel like making her the star of another game is an odd choice. Here are five reasons Life is Strange: Double Exposure made the wrong choice bringing back Max.

5. Bringing Max Back Makes The First Game Too Important

To be clear, Max is a wonderful character. Life is Strange is a beautiful game, and it wouldn’t have been the same with anyone else in the lead. However, the decision to bring her back makes her – and by extension, the Arcadia Bay storyline – feel too important.

Upcoming sci-fi PVP FPS title Concord pits teams against each other as they attempt to complete a series of missions. May’s State of Play gave us our first glimpse of Concord’s intense gameplay, and we now know how much Concord will retail for.

Concord Confirmed to Release at $40

Concord is available for pre-order right now, and costs $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 / ¥4,480 MSRP, according to PlayStation’s blog.

Pride Month is here, but the queer community doesn’t exist solely in the real world. More and more often we’re seeing characters from all across the spectrum pop up in games, including some of the biggest titles on the planet. From action heroes to revolutionaries to ordinary people just trying to get by, here are our top 10 queer characters in gaming.

#10. Wrench (Watch Dogs)

Watch Dogs 2 is arguably the best in the franchise. It embraces the chaos and potential of the franchise with a diverse cast of characters. Of these, Wrench is easily the best. A playful and anarchistic hacker, his bromance with hero Marcus is one of the best parts of the game. In fact, it’s easy to imagine something romantic happening between the two given the playful flirting.

May 2024’s PlayStation State of Play unveiled Astro Bot, a new platformer starring PlayStation mascot Astro Bot. The game will see the intrepid bot travelling through a variety of worlds, and coming across bot versions of plenty of beloved characters from PlayStation titles of years gone by. Here’s every cameo we could make out in the trailer, ranked by how adorable they are.

Honorable Mentions: Aloy, Spike, and Atreus

Where we know them from: Horizon, Ape Escape, and God of War

The SCP Foundation is one of the internet’s best-known horror projects. The site is set out as the internal catalog of anomalies held by the titular SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) Foundation. These range from the benign (a sentient blob of goo that makes everyone happy) to the world-ending (a colossal being contained by seven chains that will eventually break free and devour everything). The SCP Foundation has already turned up in a number of different games, and even influenced Remedy’s smash hit Control. Here are the top 10 SCPs that deserve their own video games.

10. SCP-024: Game Show of Death

SCP-024 is an abandoned soundstage – at least, until there are intruders. If a group of people enter the soundstage, they’ll be greeted by the announcer. The announcer offers them the chance to take part in a game with the hopes of winning the grand prize. If they say no, they’re forcibly ejected from the building and can never return.

PlayStation has announced a new State of Play, airing on May 30 at 6PM EDT. The event will last around 30 minutes, with information on fourteen upcoming titles. Here are the top 5 games we want to see from the State of Play.

2022 saw the long-awaited revival of legendary horror franchise Silent Hill. Konami announced three new games, an interactive streaming experience, and a new film. While things have been quiet for some time, recently we’ve seen more coming out. This week, an early cut of Return to Silent Hill was screened at Cannes Film Festival. Additionally, Variety has unveiled the first image of iconic villain Pyramid Head.

Here’s Our First Look at Pyramid Head in Return to Silent Hill

Return to Silent Hill is directed by Christoph Gans and is based on Silent Hill 2, the most beloved game in the series. The game follows James Sunderland, a widower who returns to Silent Hill, after receiving a letter from his late wife, Mary. Along the way, he meets a mysterious young woman, Maria, who physically resembles Mary.

Puzzle games have to strike a delicate balance. On the one hand, a game that’s too easy isn’t going to be exciting. A tricky puzzle is almost like a boss fight, and we want to put our skills to the test. On the other hand, if every puzzle is hard, then it can be a turn-off. Luckily, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes successfully finds the right balance.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes Review on Nintendo Switch

The game begins with the unnamed protagonist being invited to a hotel for an art exhibit. As she arrives, it quickly becomes clear that things aren’t right. There’s a corpse in the courtyard, the only other guest is an old woman sharing her room, and the manager has a habit of appearing out of nowhere and disappearing just as quickly.

Hades 2 is officially in early access, and we already know that the full release will introduce new features. This has, of course, led to some speculation, including on the sixth weapon.

On Reddit, users are speculating on what the new weapon could be, and have come up with some interesting theories.

Ahead of the 8th anniversary stream on May 14th, Behaviour Interactive has released a teaser for the next chapter. Here’s everything we know so far about Dungeons and Dragons coming to Dead by Daylight.

Dungeons and Dragons is Coming to Dead by Daylight

The brief teaser doesn’t give much information about what we can expect, which is par for the course. In the past, the Resident Evil teaser leveraged the brand name while keeping specific details under wraps until closer to the release date.

Dead by Daylight’s 8th anniversary is neatly here, which means plenty of news about what’s coming up. While there will be a focus on the next chapter, we could see more about the coming year. Here are our predictions about what to expect from Dead by Daylight’s 8th Anniversary Stream.

A New Chapter

This one’s a certainty. Dead by Daylight releases a new chapter every three months. With the next chapter due to drop in June, and the roadmap listing a PTB beginning on May 14, it’s clear that we’ll find out what’s coming next during the stream.

The Fallout universe is filled with Vaults, and each of these Vaults has an Overseer: a leader responsible for the safety and happiness of the Vault dwellers. More often than not, they’re involved in whichever experiment Vault-Tec has decided to run. We meet six different Overseers over the first season of Amazon Prime’s Fallout. Here’s all of them, ranked by how much we’d trust them not to kill us.

(Beware spoilers for the whole series.)

Vaults are a core part of Fallout’s lore. These nuclear shelters were designed by Vault-Tec before the nuclear war. Unbeknownst to most of the public, Vault-Tec had an obsession with experiments that would make Aperture Science blush. To that end, the majority of the shelters were created to conduct scientific experiments on their inhabitants. Here’s our list of the ten most horrifying vaults from the Fallout universe.

10. Vault 101 (Fallout 3)

Vault 101 stands out from the others as the only one that wasn’t intended to open again. Instead, the Overseer would be given complete control over a facility that would remain closed indefinitely.
