Techland took to Twitter to announce the delay of their zombie FPSDying Light 2. Originally slated to launch in Spring 2020 (Autumn 2020 in the southern hemisphere), the game now has no launch date. Techland attributes the delay to the increased scope of Dying Light 2and the game’s current state not meeting expectations.
Techland will continue to develop Dying Light 2 in the coming months. An update with more information on the game’s status will hopefully be released in the next few months.
Dying Light 2 is joining a growing slate of major releases that have announced major delays in the past week, including Cyberpunk 2077 and the Final Fantasy VII remake.
Back in November of last year Guilty Gear: Strive was given its official name and it was also hinted that Faust would be joining the roster once again and now that has been confirmed in the latest trailer released by Arc System Works. In this relatively short trailer we see that the strange doctor once again features his signature creepy design and odd move-set and you can check that out below.
The company also stated that more trailers, and potentially new characters, will coming during a pair of events that run from March 20th to the 22nd. Currently Guilty Gear: Strive is set to be released for the PlayStation 4 sometime later this year with a closed beta happening sometime this spring.
Those who want to see what the enhanced Langrisser I & II collection will play like before release will have a chance to do so as NIS America has revealed at PAX South that they will be releasing a demo for the game sometime before release. The company did not specify when exactly the demo would be released, nor how many chapters from each game will be in the demo, but it will be releasing for every platform that the game will release on.
Currently Langrisser I & II is set to be released in North America on March 10th and March 13th in Europe for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
NIS America revealed during their PAX South presentation that they would be bringing The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III to PC on March 23rd with it being released both on Steam and GOG. The company also announced that those who purchase the game on PC before March 30th will be given some free cosmetic DLC as well.
This news follows the reveal last month that the company is also working on bringing The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III to the Nintendo Switch sometime this spring though the release date for that version has remained unchanged. For those who don’t want to wait, the game is currently available on the PlayStation 4 but you can check out the PC announcement trailer below.
Some new details for Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate have been revealed by Koei Tecmo and Omega Force alongside plenty of new screenshots of the game. The new details are in regards to the “Trial of Zeus” gameplay mode that is an Infinity Mode that allos players to take a three person party on an adventure to clear the trials of the twelve towers, with dungeons representing each sign of the zodiac. As they clear each trial, players will earn experience points, unlock characters, and strengthen weapons through battle, combating tougher and tougher enemies with each advancement up the tower.
Players that manage to get a character to level 100 will be able to reset them to level 1 and increase their strength even further with these promotions being available ten times for each character. The screenshots can be found below while Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate itself is set to be released on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC sometime this February.
Kingpin: Reloaded Revealed, Criminal Warfare
Arrives on Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2020
AALBORG, Denmark —
January 17, 2020 —Kingpin: Reloaded, the remastered, enhanced version of the
crime-themed first-person shooter developed and published by 3D Realms and Interplay, recruits new gang members on Nintendo Switch,
PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later this year.
In a stylized noir art deco gangland that never was, the Kingpin rules above all else with a bloody fist. When his lieutenant Nikki Blanco leaves a no-name Thug battered and broken, the upstart criminal rises from a puddle of blood, lead pipe in hand and revenge in mind.
Kingpin: Reloaded brings new life to the Quake II engine
classic. 4K resolution, ultrawide support, and improved graphics in Enhanced
mode enable the beautifully-depicted metropolitan nightmare shine. Controller
support makes the game more accessible for anyone who wants to explore the
depths of Kingpin’s depravity. Overall improvements like new quest and
conversation systems make Reloaded even better than the original.
Stalk lamp-lit streets
and take down rival gangs to let the Kingpin know his end is nigh. Kingpin’s
immersive sim elements allow the Thug to recruit other gangsters with a
conversation system. Increase the Thug’s influence through multiple hub-based
missions. Run with the gang on a violent warpath with upgradeable weapons
including Tommy guns, bazookas, and more. Location-based damage leads to
bloody, thrilling battles: kneecap, maim, or go for the head.
If that sounds too
extreme, try No Violence mode. However, the “colorful” language proudly used by
Kingpin’s gangsters remains. Lean even further into the era and start
fragging in Gang Bang mode’s old-school multiplayer.
Kingpin: Reloaded will debut at PAX South this weekend at the 3D
Realms booth.
“Kingpin doesn’t
get the recognition it deserves, due to unfortunately releasing in an era when
games were blamed for societal problems,” said Frederik Schreiber, founder of
3D Realms. “We have the privilege of giving it a second chance for people who
never heard of it, and sprucing it up for diehard fans yearning to go back to a
life of (simulated!) crime.”
Kingpin: Reloaded will be available in English on Nintendo
Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2020. For more information, please
visit the official Kingpin: Reloaded website and check out the official Twitter, Facebook, and Discord.

TAKE ON THE TRIAL OF ZEUS IN WARRIORS
OROCHI 4 ULTIMATE
Battle
Your Way Through Infinity Mode’s 12 Tower Challenge
Hertfordshire, 17th
January 2020 – KOEI
TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force today announced the first details
surrounding WARRIORS OROCHI 4 Ultimate’s addictive and
challenging Infinity mode, alongside additional gameplay elements that are sure
to intrigue fans of the popular franchise. The latest title in the electrifying
1 vs. 1,000 series of hack-and-slash adventures is set to launch on the 14th
February 2020 on the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System, the Nintendo
Switch™, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, and digitally
on Windows PC via Steam®.
WARRIORS
OROCHI 4 Ultimate enlists gamers to take on the Trial of Zeus in the all-new Infinity
mode. Warriors will take a three-player party on this harrowing adventure, as
they attempt to clear the trials of the 12 towers, with dungeons representing
each sign of the zodiac. As they clear each trial, gamers will earn experience
points, unlock characters, and strengthen weapons through battle — combating
tougher and tougher enemies with each advancement up the tower.
The more you play as
certain characters, either through Infinity mode or through the game’s main
story, the more you’ll be able to rank up certain abilities. In WARRIORS
OROCHI 4 Ultimate, a character who has been raised to level 100 will
return to a rank of 1, enabling you to further strengthen them and expand their
skill tree. Promotion can be performed a total of 10 times, empowering you to
boost favorite characters to the limit, creating the ultimate warriors to take
on Odin’s mysterious army.
In addition, the
powerful Sacred Treasures can now be interchanged among characters. In the
past, this was fixed for each individual, but in WARRIORS OROCHI 4
Ultimate, you can now play with your favorite combination of magic,
unleashing fierce combinations like never before.
Also new in WARRIORS
OROCHI 4 Ultimate is Yang Jian’s special ability to deify in battle.
Until now, deification could only be used by characters who are selected for
eight special bracelets. In WARRIORS OROCHI 4 Ultimate, Yang Jian
can deify without using a bracelet, opening the eye on his forehead and
unleashing a unique magical spell. While spinning his weapon, his divine
canine, Xiaotian, becomes enveloped in water, running in circles to generate a
whirlpool to take out any enemy who steps in its way.
WARRIORS OROCHI 4
Ultimate is now available for preorder, with a variety of pre-order and early
purchase bonuses on offer across all versions of the game. Please check the
