Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is an action-adventure game that is the sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. This game takes place in the Temple of Osiris, which is deep in the deserts of Egypt. Help Lara fight her way across the sands and through ancient tombs, as she battles gods and monsters of myth and legend.

Limbo is the well-known artistic puzzle video game developed by Playdead. In Limbo, you’ll control a young boy who wakes up in the middle of a dark forest. You’re not sure of how you got there, or why you’re there in the first place. You will soon find out that it’s a pretty dangerous place, and realize you need to get out of there. While it only takes 5 to 6 hours to beat, you’ll definitely enjoy your time living on the edge of the danger zone.

Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones is a 2D puzzle game developed by CurveDigital. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the sequel to the Stealth Bastard Deluxe. In Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones, you’ll need to make your way through challenging puzzles while trying to take control of multiple clones.

If you can’t wait for the list of new games to arrive, be sure to check out last month’s promotion here.

The event goes live on April 23 at 9AM PDT / 4PM UTC / 6PM CEST on YouTube. Ubisoft even leaned into the whole saga, dubbing it "Gaming's Worst Kept Secret" in its teaser video. That's hardly an exaggeration given how long the rumors have been circulating online.

OnePlus’ gaming controller for phones has a neat little charging trick that you’ll love
The new add-on does more than add buttons, it could make charging and cooling much less awkward during longer phone gaming sessions
Body Part, Finger, Hand

OnePlus’ new controller for the Ace 6 Ultra looks like another attempt to turn a phone into a handheld, but the smarter idea is the open space in the middle. OnePlus says that section is meant for cooling, and the company’s promo images make clear that this isn’t just a grip with triggers bolted on. It’s a design that tries to leave room for heat management and easier power options at the same time.

OnePlus is still selling it on gaming features, including four physical buttons, hybrid touch-and-button controls, micro-switch inputs, a 1 kHz polling rate, and a claimed 1.8 ms response time. But comfort over time is the more convincing pitch, especially for shooters that punish awkward hand positions and a hot phone.
