Coming soon to a gaming console or device near you…
Cuphead – Finally, a date has been announced for Cuphead, the most original looking platformer I’ve ever seen! I feel like I’ve been waiting years for this release. The game hits STEAM and XBOX ONE on September 29th.
Anthem – This gameplay footage for EA’s BioWare studio’s Anthem is stunning. The fact that it was captured in-game running on real-time is incredible. I’m all over this game when it hits in 2018.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 – The cinematic reveal trailer for Ubisoft’s a prequel to 2003’s Beyond Good & Evil definitely takes the prize for the best world-building trailer of E3. No release window or platform launch details have been announced, but this looks like a can’t miss! (Warning: Trailer includes language and violence intended for mature audiences only)
Far Cry 5 – This new Far Cry game looks intensely political. Transporting the series into a fictional town in Montana and setting it amidst the political and religious uprising of a gun crazy, revolution-bent preacher, captures an unsettling sense of an America at odds with itself. Timeliness to the extreme! (Warning: Trailer includes language and violence intended for mature audiences only)
Super Mario Odyssey – A new open-world Mario game is precisely what the Nintendo Switch needs. And this looks like a Mario game unlike any we’ve ever seen. Just the scope of the settings in this game, including Mario in the real-world, are staggering. And how about that hat trick? Oddjob has nothing on Mario.
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus – This looks like the craziest Wolfenstein title yet. And that’s saying something! Behold a very clever trailer and a few fake commercials setting the stage for what’s sure to be one of the nuttiest games on the release radar. (Warning: Trailer includes language and violence intended for mature audiences only)
Metro: Exodus – With a deep Fallout vibe, and a FPS dynamic that leaps from the screen, Metro: Exodus presents a non-stop post-apocalyptic narrative with nail-biting survival horror at its heart. I can’t wait to jump out of my seat and discover what’s around each and every corner of this rich world. (Warning: Trailer includes language and violence intended for mature audiences only)
Marvel’s Spider-Man – This new, extended game-play clip makes Spider-Man look like the perfect superhero game. From the Arkham City-like combat to the web-slinging mechanics, you can’t find a hero more suited for a videogame. This one is a PS4 exclusive!
Days Gone – Sony’s new survival horror title looks like the perfect marriage of The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy. Zombies, motorcycles and giant, undead grizzly bears! Like Spider-Man, this one is coming soon exclusively on the PS4. (Warning: Trailer includes language and violence intended for mature audiences only)
Atari – Atari announced a new…console? Whatever this mystery product is, it sure is beautiful. How about that wood inlay? Pure ’80s nostalgia!
