This Week in Gaming News: August 25th – August 31st, 2025

That’s right – we’ve somehow come to another week’s gaming news summary, even though it feels like barely any time has passed at all since the last one. How does this keep happening? Well, regardless of time’s continued insistence on linear motion, we’re not going to be boring you with details of what the weather

Pretty soon, we’re going to need more than one hand to count the number of heatwaves this summer is bringing here in the UK, but we might finally be out of the woods after this week, so to speak. At any rate, you didn’t join us to hear us preach about the weather once again;

We here at Gamerbolt never tire of talking about the weather; it must be in our DNA, British as we are. As such, we’re pleased (or perhaps sad?) to report that it seems like the current crop of hot weather is over. Of course, we also feel like we’ve typed those words before, so there’s

Another week in the gaming world has gone by, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s coinciding with yet another heatwave that’s hitting the UK right as this humble missive is being typed. Luckily, gaming news is weather-agnostic, so while households up and down the country might be sweating it out right now, that doesn’t mean

As we enter the eighth month of the year, the gaming world looks just as volatile and unpredictable as it has done for the last couple of years. It’s almost impossible to predict which studio will be hit by layoffs or outright closures next, and whether certain studios will survive the year, even if they

The final month of this year’s summer is here, and with it comes Gamescom, a fairly major event in the calendar that sees many publishers and studios showing off their best work. Of course, there are still plenty of great games to look forward to this month; there may be shadowdrops (sudden releases) during Gamescom,

The summer winds on, and thankfully (or sadly, depending on your disposition), we haven’t had another whiff of the heatwaves that threatened to manifest throughout the season earlier this month. Of course, you didn’t come here to talk about the weather, as quintessentially British as that is; no, you came to hear about gaming news,

It’s been another eventful week in the world of gaming news, and while we’re anticipating an even more eventful one this coming week (Pokemon Presents, anyone?) there’s still plenty to pore over.

That’s right: before you’ve even realised it, another week has come and gone, and it’s once again time to take a look at what’s been going on in the world of gaming this week. Of course, if you’re in the UK, there’s a good chance you’ve been distracted by the ongoing heatwaves; to other countries,

The UK seems to be in the grip of multiple heatwaves right now; like the economy (oho, satire!), they’re advancing and receding with clockwork regularity. The world of gaming news is much the same; while there are days when not much happens, they’ll often be followed by flurries of activity, and it can be hard

After the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, you’d be forgiven for thinking that July looks like a quieter month for game releases. It turns out that the opposite is actually true; there’s so much good stuff coming out in July that we’re not even sure we’re going to get much of a chance to

Well, the weather outside might be scorching, but we’ve got plenty of fresh gaming news from the week gone to take a
