Zombie Army 4: Dead War offers a full campaign plus a Horde Mode to challenge the best of players. While a full slate of premium post-launch DLC has been announced, Rebellion has promised to support Horde Mode with free maps after launch.

Fallout 76 “Wastelanders” Expansion Launches April 6

Bethesda has announced that they have set another release date for Fallout 76‘s big “Wastelanders” expansion and that it will be releasing on all available platforms for the game on April 7th with the PC version of the game launching on Steam on the same day, since it was previously only available through the Bethesda launcher. It is worth noting that players who purchased the game on Bethesda’s launcher will not be able to transfer any of their Atoms or “Fallout 1st” memberships though items that have been purchased on the Atomic Shop will be shared across both PC versions.

The Fallout 76 “Wastelanders” expansion expands upon the story of the game by unlocking an entirely new main quest that brings together many new faces as NPCs have returned to the Appalachia mountains and player decisions can affect the fates of these new factions. A new trailer for the expansion can be found below.

Azur Lane: Crosswave Story and Photo Screenshots Released

Another week and another new batch of screenshots for Azur Lane: Crosswave from Idea Factory International and this time around the company is focusing almost entirely on support ships with Downes, Hamakaze, Ning Hai, Norfolk, Shiranui, and Souryuu given a bit of spotlight alongside some screenshots that highlight the game’s story and photo modes.

This batch of screenshots can be found below while the game itself is set to be released on February 13th in North America and February 21st in Europe for the PlayStation 4 and PC. It is also worth noting that for one month after the game’s release Neptune will be available as free DLC on both platforms but after this date she will no longer be available.

NIS America’s PAX East 2020 Lineup Includes a Secret

NIS America has announced that they will be attending the PAX East 2020 event that will be held at the Boston Convention Center later this month from February 27th to March 1st and the line-up of games they are bringing to show off leaves us with a hint of an announcement on the way. The company has stated that they will be bringing previously announced games such as the Switch port of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, Langrisser I & II, and La-Mulana 1 & 2.

Alongside these games the company is emphasizing a “Secret New Game” that will be shown off at the event so fans can expect to either see a brand new announcement in the coming weeks or a full reveal at PAX East at the end of this month. For those attending the event, the company will also be offering a number of giveaways at their booth.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered Kickstarter Launched

In what is becoming a trend this year, another Wii U exclusive is now seeing another chance at life on the Nintendo Switch but this time around it also happens to be coming to a number of other platforms as Platinum Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101: Remastered. With an extremely modest goal of slightly under $50,000 the project was funded in under an hour of release and, at the time of writing, has reached $1.25 million allowing the game to easily burst through the stretch goals that allow it to be released on the PlayStation 4 and PC.

With the Kickstarter set to run until March 6th and the game actually releasing on these platforms sometime in April 2020, it is likely this funding is being used as both an interest gauge and a method to secure future funding as a game releasing one month after being funded through Kickstarter is nearly unheard of.

The announcement trailer for The Wonderful 101: Remastered and a small handful of screenshots can be found below.
