What's New?

Why do these small low quality studios receive beloved movie franchises? Is it because it's cheap?

A new game based off of the Terminator franchise is coming.

In November 2019, a new game based off of a movie franchise will be released. This time, the release is for Terminator: Resistance for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will be out on November 15, 2019 in Europe and Australia and on December 3, 2019 in North America.

Terminator: Resistance is a first-person shooter that is developed by Teyon. It is an original story based off of the first two movies of The Terminator and T2: Judgment Day. It takes place about 30 years after Judgment Day.

So exotic. So deadly.

Developer IO Interactive released a new trailer today showing off their latest port of death coming to Hitman 2. The new location is called Haven Island. It arrives on September 24 for everyone with the Expansion Pass and those that own the Gold Edition of Hitman 2.

You can get a look at the beautiful and deadly piece of paradise in the new trailer. I bet some people won't find it to be a... safe haven.

This update will include the new Haven Island location. It will add in a new campaign mission called The Last Resort. It includes...

All it takes is a dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

From now until September 26, you are able to pick up not one, not two, not even five free Batman games, but six! Six free Batman games can be yours! How? Well, you'll have to have an Epic Games Store account to begin with.

From there, all it takes is adding the games to your account. Now, the Epic Games Store still doesn't have something like a shopping cart, so you will have to add them one at a time. Fortunately, these games are placed into two bundles, so it won't be as time consuming as you think.

This year's potential sleeper hit just got a free content update.

Remnant: From the Ashes is one of the best games of 2019 that you probably aren't playing (yet). You should. And to sweeten that temptation, the dev team at Gunfire Games just released a new, free content update for the game. The update, entitled Leto's Lab, offers a new dungeon with the same name as the title of the update.

In addition to this new dungeon, today's update also includes a wide assortment of bug fixes, quality of life adjustments, new items and armor specific to this new dungeon, and a few...

The official announcement of a new Total War game is here.

In a shock to nobody, the leak that came out literally just yesterday has been proven to be true. Everybody pretend to be shocked! A reveal trailer is out today for A Total War Saga: TROY. I believe the only thing that was incorrect in the early leak was the order of the words in the game's title.

This new entry in the Total War franchise takes inspiration from Homer's Iliad. As such, you can expect there to be a big emphasis on the Trojan War and a big emphasis on time-appropriate features, roles, weapons, and...

The stream promises to include some new news and reveals.

Sony just announced that on September 24 at 1PM (PT; 4PM ET), a new episode of "State of Play" will be streamed. This is the first State of Play for PlayStation since early this year in May. That particular event didn't have too much in the way of new information, but it did provide us with the release date for MediEvil.

What can we expect on Tuesday? According to the PlayStation Blog entry from Sony's director of social media Sid Shuman, we will see a bunch of new stuff. Specifically, we will see "new...

All of the Funcom Conan games are free this weekend on Steam.

Funcom is offering up a free weekend for all of their Conan titles that are available right now on Steam. They're doing this both as a celebration of the Conan franchise and "in order to display the evolution of all three titles." Fair play, Funcom. Fair play.

The free games being offered up for this free weekend include the survival focused Conan Exiles. It also includes the older MMO, Age of Conan: Unchained. It also includes the more recently released RTS, Conan Unconquered.

All three...

A second season of content outlined in new roadmap.

Saber Interactive just released a new roadmap of free content coming soon to World War Z. This roadmap offers a look at what players can expect in the months ahead for the still fairly popular zombie filled co-op shooter.

Some of the new content includes two new story missions set in Moscow and New York, an entirely new zombie type, crossplay support, a horde mode, and more. Today's news about a new season of content comes roughly a month after the first season came to a conclusion.

World War Z is about...

A demo is available now.

It's time for console owners to experience the thrill of hauling cargo.

In Truck Driver, you assume the role of a truck driver (go figure) and build up your career. During the game you will work with and encounter all different kinds of people. By completing jobs, you will earn trust...

Well this looks soulless in every way possible, even the name of the studio makes me want to sulk.

Full reveal coming on September 19.

Tomorrow, the full reveal of Creative Assembly's latest Total War game will take place. Until then, we know for a fact that the next entry is called Troy: A Total War Saga. This title was revealed, perhaps a bit prematurely, via a photo of the cover for the upcoming issue of PC Gamer. The tweet containing that early image has since been pulled.

Of course, as this is the Internet, the image was pulled and uploaded to Reddit. And from Reddit it was posted here. Such is the life of an early leak.

At present, not much is really...

Those who wanted a new Stalker experience are kind of getting their wish.

Later this year, a new desktop Stalker title will be released. Of course, this isn't a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, but a new Stalker game. Yes, there is a difference. It's going to be called Stalker Online and as you may have already assumed from the name, it will be open-world MMO type of game.

This game is inspired by the 1979 film, Stalker, just as the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are. So it's kind of the same, but different, but still the same. At any rate, a new trailer is out today for Stalker Online....

Developer Deck13 to offer players a choice.

When The Surge 2 is released on September 24 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, those who are playing on the Pro or One X will have some graphical choices to make. The upcoming action-RPG sequel will offer a performance mode of 1080p at 60fps for the game, and a quality mode with upscaled 4K at 30fps.

Now, there aren't very many specifics to go on here. Both the PlayStation 4 Pro and the Xbox One X will feature both of these modes. Both platforms will allow players to do 1080p resolution but at 60fps. It's not said whether...

A new turn-based strategy title is here for Apple Arcade users.

If you are already sold on the Apple Arcade platform, you are probably fairly happy with the list of games being offered for the game's launch. One of those games being offered at the launch of the Apple Arcade is a new turn-based strategy title called Dread Nautical.

Dread Nautical will be an exclusive to the Apple Arcade. It offers a blend of turn-based strategy, RPG, and even some roguelike elements. Not to toot their own horn or anything, but the development team at Zen Studios say that this is looking...

A whole lot more Destiny is coming and it all starts with the Moon.

On October 1, 2019 the Shadowkeep expansion for Destiny 2 will be released. On that same date, the game effectively takes on a whole new life. It will be gone from Battle.net and will now instead be played through Steam. It also marks the first major piece of content released for Destiny 2 since their separation from Activision.

A new Stranger Things chapter was launched today in Dead by Daylight.

Some fresh content just launched today for the asymmetrical multiplayer game, Dead by Daylight. Though there has been a steady stream of new content released over the months for the game, including Scream's Ghost Face, and even Freddy from A Nightmare on Elm Street, none have been as topical as this one.

Today, Netflix's Stranger Things joins the ever growing horror-action game. They're calling this the Stranger Things Chapter and it can be yours for $11.99 (USD). This DLC includes a new killer, two...

What do you remember most from the Ghostbusters game?

Devil's Hunt is a "punch 'em up adventure," or as it's more commonly referred to, an action game. Desmond tries to cling to what remains of his humanity while cool, demonic powers start to take over.

The controller, though not yet out, will retail for $79.99 (USD) at release. It looks like it's a happy medium between the full customization of the official Xbox One Elite Controller, priced at $180, and a "basic" Xbox One controller priced at $60....

Get GTA: San Andreas for free if you use it.

Rockstar now has their own game launcher on the PC. The development studio quietly released this new launcher a short time ago today. They are attempting to entice users to download and use the installer by giving away a free copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for a limited time.

Interesting enough, the Rockstar Games Launcher includes some features that took other launchers a little bit of time to add after release. This launcher includes cloud save support, a shop, and automatic updates. The prices on the store seem to...

Big numbers bolstered by cheap Game Pass subscriptions.

The Coalition's Gears 5 has seen a moderate amount of success. Microsoft revealed that the Xbox Game Studios published title has surpassed 3 million players across all platforms in its first week. This impressive number is undoubtedly bolstered by a huge number of users taking up Microsoft on their very generous Game Pass offers.

Like other first-party titles, Gears 5 was another Xbox One game that was available on Xbox Game Pass the same day as its retail release. It was also made available early for those that...

Every beat is a violent noise.

A new trailer is out today for Deck13's action-RPG, The Surge 2. This latest look at the hardcore and violent game puts a lot of the action to Sharon Van Etten's cover of "The End of the World."

The Surge 2 is slated to be released on September 24 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game should make fans of the original game excited. In addition to retaining a lot of what players liked about the first game, including the game's unique upgrade system where you utilized dismembered limbs for upgrades, there are a number...
