Warface, the long-standing co-op shooter, has just released a brand new campaign for you and up to four other tactical aficionados to test your collective expertise. This time around, though, players won't be blasting their way through the standard fare of Earth-based mercenaries and ne'er-do-wells. Instead, they'll commuting from their bedrooms or living rooms all the way to Mars.
Four years ago, the development team at Dead Mage held a successful Kickstarter campaign for their action-RPG, Children of Morta. There's been a lot of work done on the title since then and if you're interested in checking it out before its impending release this Summer, then you've got 72 hours to get a free preview.
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... remember seven years ago when Sega said they'd bring their action-RPG MMO Phantasy Star Online 2 to the U.S.? Well, guess what?! They were telling the truth! ... Eventually! Amid all the other news coming out last week during E3 2019, the one bit that was perhaps the most surprising was that this F2P game would be making its way to the Xbox One and Windows 10 sometime "Spring 2020."
Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has been out for just over three months and, in contrast to the original game, Ubisoft is releasing new content right out of the gate to ensure things stay fresh for players. An eight player raid is already in effect, along with a smaller free content update, and more will be coming over the next year.
Ubisoft have announced a new Rainbow Six title coming next year for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC called Rainbow Six Quarantine. By all accounts it looks directly inspired by the limited time co-op event from Rainbow Six Siege called Outbreak.
Most video games seem to view zombie hordes as obstacles to be avoided and/or destroyed, but Overcooked! 2 takes a different approach. In developer Ghost Town Games' eyes, the Unbread are driven by hunger, so why not just feed them?
Here's an interesting thing to come out of E3: Konami is releasing a new Contra. CONTRA: ROGUE CORPS appears to be a sort of sequel to Contra III: Alien Wars, which you can now enjoy for the first time or all-over again in the Contra Anniversary Collection, as the official background for the game reads "two years after the Alien Wars had ended..." and the game's director is Nobuya Nakazato, who was also the director for Contra III and Hard Corps. Regardless of where it falls within the larger Contra canon, the game looks... pretty... interesting.
The studio behind the previous three Zombie Army games, Rebellion, has revealed their newest installment in the series at the PC showcase during E3 2019. Zombie Army 4: Dead War was announced through a stylized trailer that can be found below, followed by a gameplay reveal soon after, which can also be found below. The game has no specific release date but is currently slated to arrive early 2020 across Xbox One, Playstation 4, and the Epic Game Store.
Monday night, Polish developer People Can Fly made their return to the gaming world after what's felt like a long-time silent. After getting acquired by Epic Games, then splitting from them after the release of Gears of War: Judgment, we haven't heard much from them other than the Bulletstorm remaster. At the Square-Enix E3 press conference, they debuted their game: Outriders, a "co-op shooter set in an original, dark and desperate sci-fi universe." Based on the trailer alone (because that's all we've got right now), this is looking like a very interesting game.
In a surprising announcement this week, Funcom revealed that Conan Chop Chop - a game that was teased on April's Fools Day - will be arriving to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2019. This may be one of the more inventive marketing tactics I've seen in a while as that initial reveal was taken, understandably, to be a joke. However, it seems that that was all part of the plan as Australian developer Mighty Kingdom has been working on this for a little while and they've done their best to keep it under wraps.
This week, Crystal Dynamics and Square-Enix finally pulled back the curtain on their upcoming Marvel's Avengers game... sort of. During Square-Enix's Monday night press conference, some time was spent to talk around the title a whole bunch without saying much of anything really substantive. The few details we got from it all is that it will have four player online co-op, it looks like a third-person action game, there are plans in place for continued content updates after its release (it sounds like it may be similar to Destiny or Anthem), and it'll be out May 15, 2020.
So much news, so little time! Rod Fergusson, studio head for The Coalition, took the stage during Microsoft's E3 press conference this year to talk about the newest entry in the Gears franchise, Gears 5. The last time we heard anything much about this game was during last year's E3, and it was a little surprising that not only did they have a new mode to show off and talk about, but a release date: September 10, 2019.
Back in 2011 we saw the release of the first Dead Island and a sequel was stated to be in development soon after. While Dead Island Riptide did follow with a 2013 release, a proper sequel, Dead Island 2, was also revealed to be coming through a very memorable announcement trailer that came out in 2014. Since then there has been periodic news that made it seem like the game would never see the light of day, but as of this writing, Dead Island 2 now appears on the Xbox Marketplace as an item available for pre-order with a slated December 2019 release date.
