GameBurst News - 3 May 2026

This week on GameBurst, the team covered a bumper week in gaming news — headlined by the news that Rebellion's post-apocalyptic British gem Atomfall is heading to television, with the Emmy-winning writers behind Fleabag attached to pen the series. It's a fitting creative match for a game that won Best British Game at this year's BAFTA Game Awards. Elsewhere, retro enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to: clamshell handhelds based on the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum are due in October at £109.99, complete with 25 built-in games and MicroSD expansion — with limited collector's editions bundled with reproduction issues of Crash and Zzap! magazine. RPG fans got a firm release date for Blood of the Dawnwalker — the dark fantasy debut from Witcher 3 veterans Rebel Wolves — confirmed for 3 September 2026 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, alongside ten minutes of atmospheric new gameplay footage. Nintendo's cinematic ambitions continue to grow, with Universal quietly confirming a third Nintendo and Illumination animated film for April 2028 — with a Donkey Kong spin-off widely speculated to be in the frame. In community news, Games Done Quick is heading to Europe for the first time, partnering with Gamescom in Cologne this August for a three-day charity speedrunning showcase benefiting Gaming for Democracy. Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim EA Sports FC 26 and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers from the start of May — and Xbox Game Pass users will welcome price cuts, with Ultimate now dropping to $22.99 per month, though new Call of Duty titles will no longer be included at launch. Pick of the Week this episode, Taylor recommended the YouTube channel Spinosnack — worth a look for gaming content with a distinctive edge.
