Last year during what used to be E3 Bethesda and Tango GameWorks announced a mysterious game by the name of Ghostwire: Tokyo and now a year later we have a new release window, some gameplay footage, and platform information.
Bethesda has revealed that the game will be coming to the PlayStation 5 as a console exclusive and on PC in 2021 and the game itself is a first person style game where a massive paranormal event causes the sudden disappearance of 99% of the population while spirits from Japanese folklore storm Tokyo. Players will harness paranormal abilities to solve the mystery of the disappearances and save the city.
Players will have access to supernatural powers to unleash devastating, otherworldly attacks and interact with the paranormal in a variety of ways—cleanse, banish, and destroy. Throughout their journey players will grow their newfound powers to suit their playstyle and take the fight to the supernatural, some of which so far include Amewarashi, Shiromuku, and Kuchisake.
Capcom has announced that they have a new, rather unique looking game, on the way called Pragmata though fans will have to wait a bit as the game is currently aiming to be released sometime in 2022 for the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC. Pragmata is set in a dystopian near-future on Earth’s moon and will take players on an “unforgettable adventure” that will take full advantage of next-gen hardware.
No exact gameplay details were revealed but you can check out an extended reveal trailer below that shows off plenty of interesting world elements that will be part of Pragmata, including cyborg animals, strange supernatural occurrences, and more.
Last year Bethesda and Arkane Studios announced that they were working on a new game involving a timeloop called Deathloop and now the company has revealed not only a few more details about the title but also roughly when and where players can expect to pick it up.
Deathloop places players into the role of Colt, a man trapped in a time loop on the enigmatic island of Blackreef, doomed to repeat the same day for eternity. The only chance for escape is to break the loop by unearthing information and assassinating eight key targets before the day resets. However, lurking in the shadows is rival assassin Julianna, equipped with her own equally powerful abilities and weapons, on a mission to protect the loop by assassinating Colt, and restarting the cycle. Players can also choose to take control of Julianna, turning Deathloop into a deadly game of hunter-vs-hunted.
Deathloop will be released later this year during the holiday season and will be a PlayStation 5 console exclusive and also released on PC.
A new game with a “working title” of Project Athia has been announced by Square Enix and Luminous Productions for the PlayStation 5 and PC. It is meant to be an other-worldly adventure that was designed to work specifically for the console and will take players to a beautiful world where a thrilling story will be told in an adventure that will be “twisted, tempestuous and forbidding.”
Currently no release window for Project Athia has been given but you can check out the teaser trailer for the game below, which shows a snippet of gameplay though the developer has stated that more will be revealed in the near future.
