In an announcement that should come as no surprise given that it's Microsoft's big-hitter, Halo Infinite (or rather Halo 6) has now been unveiled for both PC and Xbox One. There are very few gameplay details currently available, but what I can tell you is that the campaign will focus on the Master Chief and continue on with his storyline after the events of Halo 5.
What might also be of interest is that Halo Infinite will be going back to the series' iconic art style and tone, as you'll see in the in-engine trailer below. Again, there is unfortunately no gameplay on display, but the visuals sure do look lovely! Have a peek:
Metro Exodus now has a rather intriguing and highly atmospheric new gameplay trailer

As you might guess from the name alone, Metro Exodus will be trading the shattered ruins of Moscow for a more visually interesting and continent-spanning journey. Along the way you can expect to see a variety of human factions, some of which appear to be straight up insane, as well as numerous new weapons, monsters to use said weapons against, and naturally, a whole ton of atmosphere-focused horror to stew in.
You can get a good glimpse at what all of this looks like in-game through the recently posted E3 trailer. Have a gander, it's quite an interesting video, even though it does start off a bit slow and brooding:
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is an upcoming spiritual successor to the 1989 action-platformer Dragon's Trap

If you're up for a bit of a blast from the past, look no further than the newly revealed Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. It is an upcoming action-platformer developed by Game Atelier, and heavily inspires by Monster Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap, which hails from the ancient times of 1989.
Much like Dragon's Trap, you will be able to transform into six different animals in order to solve environmental puzzles, beat up enemies, and naturally, hunt down numerous secrets. There will also be a variety of weapons and items to obtain, either throughout the levels or purchased in shops, which should go a long way towards making the gameplay fresh and interesting for many hours to come. After all, if you get bored of one playstyle you can just transform into something else entirely!
Forza Horizon 4 is set to arrive on both PC and Xbox One this October 2nd

In an announcement that should come as absolutely no surprise to any of you, Forza Horizon 4 has now been fully revealed at E3. What might just come as a bit of a surprise, however, is that Forza Horizon 4 will be coming to PC and Xbox One in the fairly near future, on October 2nd!
Besides being able to collect an absolute ton of cars, Forza Horizon 4 will allow you to create your very own routes across the open world. The world itself will change based on the seasons, unlocking new events and impacting driving conditions based on the weather. As such, in order to succeed you will need to master driving in wet, dry, muddy, snowy, and even icy conditions as lakes will freeze over during winter, thus giving you access to impromptu new routes! You will also be able to use all of this to design and share your very own custom races, which I can already imagine being a whole load of fun.
Stormlands is Insomniac's newly announced and rather beautiful VR action-adventure

While VR has some impressive games, very few of them are truly visually stunning given the already immense hardware requirements. With that in mind, I am very pleased to announce that Insomnic Games' upcoming VR adventure Stormlands belongs to that rather exclusive group.
Besides simply ogling the world, Stormlands will allow you quite a bit of freedom when it comes to actually exploring it. You can choose to run from location to location, fly through slipstreams, bounce of ramps, scale sheer cliffs, and even glide through the air despite being a somewhat rusty robot! If you're wondering what all of this craziness might look like in-game, here's the recently posted E3 trailer. Have a gander:
Just Cause devs are working on a robot-smashing co-op shooter called Generation Zero
- By Ash
- in News
Up until recently every post-apocalyptic game was littered with zombies and mutants, though these days it seems that the game developer's ire is turning towards sentient machines. In Generation Zero's case, the killer machines in question will be invading the serene countryside of 1980's Sweden, thus leaving it up to you and your friends to politely escort them out.
Since trying to take down fully armed combat robots is not exactly an easy task, in Generation Zero you will have to utilize a variety of guerrilla tactics in order to succeed. In other words, you'll have to place numerous traps, bait enemies into ambushes, cripple the most threatening ones from a distance, and if all else fails, gun them down with a combination of unique skills and weapons. Make it out alive and you'll be able to scavenge weapons and armor from your robotic foes, thus further enabling you to cause delicious, delicious chaos.
Cuphead is getting a Delicious Last Course (DLC) with a new character, bosses, weapons, and more

If you can't get enough of Cuphead's delightful art style, or the punishment it dishes out in droves, I'm sure you'll be interested to hear that the developers have now announced a DLC, or rather a Delicious Last Course! You can expect to see Ms. Chalice as a brand new character with her own unique abilities, new weapons and charms, and naturally, a whole bunch of new and devious bosses to endlessly retry.
Since it's probably a criminal act to talk about Cuphead and not show off its animation, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It's not exactly long, but it'll give you a pretty decent idea of what to expect from the upcoming DLC. Have a peek:
