Activision and FromSoftware released a brand new trailer for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The trailer introduces viewers to the end of the Sengoku era in Japan. Several groups are locked in an extended war for control over Japan.
After a battle, Owl finds a child who has survived the battlefield. Named Sekiro, Owl takes him on as an apprentice, teaching him how to become a shinobi. Years later, Sekiro loses his arm on the battlefield and his master is kidnapped. The game follows Sekiro’s bloody quest to rescue his master and take vengeance upon the kidnappers, the brutal Ashina clan.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action-adventure game combining stealth, vertical parkour, and head to head melee combat. The game is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 22nd.
Sony and Bend Studio have released a three part series introducing viewers to the world of Days Gone. In the game, players take on the role of Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter wandering the open roads of Oregon’s High Desert on his beloved motorcycle.
The first video “Farewell Wilderness” takes viewers to Oregon’s forests. Nature is slowly overtaking the roads humans have carved into the wilderness, making for some exciting off-road biking. There are six distinct biomes in Days Gone. Within the wilderness are hordes of zombie like Freakers and bandits that will force St. John to use all the tools at his disposal. Players will be able to use a combination of stealth, melee, and ranged weapons to overcome the enemy.
The second video entitled “Broken Road” focuses on St. John’s beloved drifter motorcycle. A variety of upgrades are available for the bike, making it grow in strength and power alongside the player. An upgraded bike will allow players to catch up with bounties and carry more ammunition. Gas is limited, so players will either need to plan their trips carefully or risk sneaking into bandit camps to steal gas. Players will only have access to the one bike, forcing them to take good care of it or face the prospect of making field repairs with a horde of Freakers closing in.
The final video is “Fighting to Survive.” The first part teaches players about the zombie like Freakers. Often found in groups, the Freakers are very much like animals: eating, drinking, and migrating as needed. There are several types of Freakers, from the basic Swarmers to the terrifying Breakers. The video also shows off the variety of weapons and skills available.
Killer Queen Black’s PC Version Available First
On the Discord Store in Q3 2019
Cross-Platform Play and Chat, Powerglove
Performing Main Theme, New Trailer
CHICAGO — 8 Feb. 2019 —Killer Queen
Black, the strategic
eight-player arcade action platformer from Liquid Bit and BumbleBear Games, will fly First on Discord for the PC release in Q3 2019, and
simultaneously release on Nintendo Switch.
For the first 90 days after launch, PC gamers can download Killer Queen Black exclusively from the Discord store. With day-one cross-platform play and chat, friends can bumble-brawl together no matter what they are playing on.
The Glam Rock-inspired
16-bit art-style will require some rocking new tunes, so instrumental power
metal cover band Powerglove will
provide the theme and end-of-level stingers. Check out the game’s brand-new second trailer for a
taste!
Battle for the hive in
two teams of four — one Queen, and three Workers. Coordination and adaptability
are the keys to dominating opponents. The Queen enters the fray armed with a
stinger she can use to both attack the other team and defend herself, as she’s
the only Bee with limited lives. Her heightened maneuverability and wings help
her cross the battlefield quickly and tag power-up gates on the map, claiming
them for her team.
But what’s a Queen
without her loyal subjects? Workers excel in adaptability, making them
essential for game-winning objectives. While initially defenseless, by grabbing
a berry and taking it to the gates, Workers can boost their speed, become
Soldiers, wielding maces, swords, shields, and laser rifles, or even do both
and transform into deadly-quick aggressors. Choose whichever form helps the
team pursue one of three different types of victories.
Economic Victories task
Workers with collecting berries on the battlefield and bringing them back to
their home base. Prefer a more aggressive style of play? Slay the opposing
team’s Queen three times with either a Queen or a Soldier to earn a Military Victory.
Finally, one snail waits in the middle of each map. Slowly ride it back to base
and secure a Snail Victory. Win three times, and the game’s over. Ascend the
ranks and there’s a chance to become the dreaded Black team.
Any given time there is
one Black team playing in the world, clad in special, glowing outfits. Once
dethroned by up-and-comers, the usurpers become the new Black team. These
nail-biting competitions will be broadcasted at all times, making the ultimate
team a coveted, constantly-shifting goal.
“Killer Queen
Black launching for PC on the Discord store is a perfect fit,” said Matt
Tesch, co-founder of Liquid Bit. ”Discord’s focus on community and
communication reflects the core tenets of our game, and we hope to see everyone
on the battlefield later this year.”
Killer Queen Black will be available digitally Q3 2019 in English.
There will also be a Switch physical edition.

Ancient Text and Discover the Hidden Truth of Arland
Sydney, 8th February 2019 – KOEI TECMO Europe

franchise, Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland, will release for
the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment

fan-favourite Arland trilogy, set several years after the 2012 release of Atelier
Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland.
Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland invites
players to assume the role of Elmerulia “Lulua” Fryxel, a young aspiring
alchemist training under former student turned mentor, Piana. Lulua studies
diligently to fulfil her dream of becoming a great alchemist just like her
mother, Rorolina Frixell; but during her training Lulua discovers a mysterious
Codex, awakening an ancient power within her that enables Lulua to decrypt but
a single page – with many more riddles for her to unravel. Players will be
tasked with performing actions focused around the core Atelier series gameplay
– Gathering, Battle, and Synthesis – to allow them to decipher more of the
text, as well as learn exciting new types of alchemy.
Lulua sets off to Arland in the hopes that she can
improve her powers and uncover the riddles of the Codex. When she arrives, she
learns that her mother’s atelier shop has been forced to close, and relying on
the help of the codex Lulua works hard to save the shop before it’s too late.
The first steps into her new adventure are filled with excitement, but little
does Lulua know that Arland is home to many mysteries yet to be awoken.
On their journey, players will meet a compelling
cast of companions, with some familiar faces joining the line-up, including:
the most renowned alchemist and mother of Lulua, Rorolina Frixell; the
ex-apprentice of Rorona and influential alchemist, Totooria Helmold; keen

ABOUT METRO EXODUS
The year is
2036.
A
quarter-century after nuclear war devastated the earth, a few thousand
survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow, in the tunnels
of the Metro.
They have
struggled against the poisoned elements, fought mutated beasts and paranormal
horrors, and suffered the flames of civil war.

Artyom, you must flee the Metro and lead a band of Spartan Rangers on an
incredible, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in search
of a new life in the East.

depths of nuclear winter.

the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus continues Artyom’s story in the
greatest Metro adventure yet.

the Aurora, a heavily modified steam locomotive, and join a handful of
survivors as they search for a new life in the East
