Metroid Prime 4 Announced for Nintendo Switch

During their E3 2017 spotlight showcase Nintendo announced that they are working on Metroid Prime 4 for the Nintendo Switch. The game will return to the first-person adventure roots of the original Metroid Prime game and introduces a new storyline that ties together the events of the Metroid Prime universe and takes the storyline in new directions.

The project is being led by series producer Kensuke Tanaba and a group of talented developers that are a brand new team that is aiming to bring the action, isolation, and exploration of the universe to life on the Switch. No release window was given but you can check out the announcement teaser below.

Core Pokemon RPG Being Developed for the Switch

After revealing that they are working on new Ultra versions of Sun & Moon for the Nintendo 3DS Pokemon fans can still look forward to a core entry on the Switch sometime in the future. During Nintendo’s E3 2017 spotlight The Pokemon Company’s Tsunekazu Ishiara confirmed that they are making a “Core RPG Pokemon title” for the Nintendo Switch.

The announcement did not state when we can expect the title to be released nor did they give us any real information about what to expect from the game but they did say that the development and release of the game may take more than a year and that fans should still look forward to it despite the early announcement.

Hideout Player Housing Announced for Escape from Tarkov’s Open Beta

Battlestate Games announced the the open beta for their upcoming open world survival FPS Escape from Tarkov will introduce player housing known as The Hideout. Each player will start out with a humble, bombed out shelter where they will begin to clean up and install basic utilities to make the space liveable. Once a power generator, is in place, players can start turning their survival bunker into a technologically advanced living space with water collection, sanitation systems, medical treatment facilities, recon centers, and firing ranges. In total, there will be 13 modules to collect for The Hideout, with basic and elite levels.

As the player improves the quality of their Hideout, they will see benefits as they wander Tarkov. The Hideout allows for the production of items and resources, grants regeneration speed bonuses, and more. Everything in The Hideout is fueled by the cache. There are three cache sizes, with Limited Edition copy owners getting a maximum cache size right off the bat.

Escape from Tarkov is currently in closed alpha testing. Closed beta testing is scheduled to begin this summer (winter for the southern hemisphere).

Kirby Announced for Nintendo Switch

It seems like either Nintendo is following after other companies by giving their games basic names once again to confuse older audiences or simply have yet to come up with a new full name for their latest game to be announced for the Nintendo Switch, Kirby.

Kirby will be released sometime in 2018 and will be a game that allows for players and up to three of their friends to team up and make use of various returning copy abilities such as Sword, Fire, Water, Bomb, Broom and more with all of these copy abilities able to be imbued with different elements.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Launching During 2017 Holidays

Alongside this release window the company released a nearly three minute long video, a handful of screenshots, and a brief overview of the game.

Players will explore an endless ocean of clouds, where the last remnants of civilization live on the backs of colossal beasts called Titans and experience the story of Rex and his friend Pyra, a mysterious being known as a Blade who grants him tremendous power. Together, search for Pyra’s long lost home Elysium, the ultimate paradise for all of humanity.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode Announced for PlayStation 4 and PC

Many people attribute the .hack series with starting the whole “stuck in a video game/fantasy realm” genre and in many ways it also began the type of episodic nature that we see games today as each of the core storylines spanned across three different games. Thankfully it seems that Bandai Namco is going to delve back into the series as they have announced through the latest issue of Famitsu that they are working on releasing .hack//G.U. Last Recode for the PlayStation 4 and PC. This will be an HD remaster of the entire PlayStation 2 RPG series originally developed by CyberConnect2.

The title is being made partly due to the 15th anniversary of the series and as we’ve learned through the latest information, will feature a number of improved features as well as the standard graphical upgrades. This includes various things such as an increase to movement speed, item menu shortcuts, increasing the maximum number of items you can hold, applying various improvements made in the second and third game to the first game, and more.

Days Gone Gameplay Shown at E3 2017

Set in the beautiful high desert of the Pacific Northwest two years after a pandemic has transformed the world this video is meant to give us a more intimate glimpse into Deacon’s life as a mercenary in a world where almost everything wants to kill him.

The biggest threat in Days Gone isn’t Freakers – it’s other people. Bad people. Marauders, Squatters, Drifters, Raiders – call them what you will, if you step outside the relative safety of the encampments, they will try to kill you and you’ll see an example of that in the video. Currently Days Gone does not have a set release window but you can check out the video as well as a handful of new screenshots below.
