[Update #2]: After many delays, Dying Light 2 has now finally arrived onto PC and consoles!
[Update]: Dying Light 2 has been delayed from its spring 2020 release date in order to secure enough time for polishing.
While I ended up on the bandwagon quite a few years after everyone else, Dying Light has quickly become one of the my favorite co-op games in many, many years. With that in mind, I am very happy to say that Dying Light 2 has now not only been officially revealed at E3, but that it also looks like a greatly improved version of its predecessor!
Perhaps most importantly, at least for us that found the original Dying Light's story to be a bit of an unfocused mess, the legendary Chris Avellone (the man behind many of the best RPGs around) is working on both the story and the world itself! Rather than babble on, allow me to share with you two of the recently posted trailers. They should give you a pretty good idea of what Dying Light 2 is trying to accomplish and what Chris Avellone's role is in all of it. Have a gander:
Jump Force is Bandai Namco's new fighting game starring characters from Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball and even Death Note

Out of all the announcements that came out of this year's E3, Jump Force might just be the strangest and most intriguing one. I mean, it's not every day you get to see a fighting game that pits characters from Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball and even Death Note against each other in what appears to be a city-sized battlefield!
Since this is one of those things you're better of seeing than reading about, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. Have a look, as it's quite the sight to behold!
Devil May Cry 5 has been officially announced and pinned for a Spring 2019 release date

If you're a fan of ridiculously cheesy storylines, over-the-top action and characters that seem well aware they're part of a video game, you'll be glad to hear that Devil May Cry 5 has now been announced! Even though the main character will be the young demon hunter Nero, Devil May Cry 5 will feature three playable and highly unique characters, which should go a long way when it comes to replayability.
While the other two characters have not been detailed just yet, the latest E3 trailer does a pretty good job of showcasing what Nero brings to the table, as well as just how cheesy Devil May Cry 5 truly is. Have a look, the trailer's a real treat:
Payday devs' The Walking Dead co-op FPS now four trailers showing off the rather interesting characters

Overkill, the studio behind the Payday series, is currently working on a four player co-op FPS set in The Walking Dead universe. As you might imagine given the setting, close quarters combat and stealth are going to represent a major part of the gameplay, though if you ever get discovered you'll also be able to throw caution to the wind and go guns blazing. Just be warned, sound can and will draw in additional hordes of zombies!
As for the four characters themselves, each one will have their own special abilities, skill trees, playstyles, and perhaps most importantly of all, strong personalities. Given that this is a co-op game we're talking about, you can expect to see all of the characters have some noticeable weaknesses, weaknesses you will need to compensate for with good ol' fashioned teamwork. For those of you that have played Payday 2, I think it's safe to say we can expect to see something similar to it's specialization system.
Dark Souls and Bloodborne devs are working on a new action-RPG - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

It has been known for around a year now that FromSoftware, the studio behind Dark Souls and Bloodborne, is working on a brand new game, though no actual details have been known until now. As you can probably guess from the title, I am extremely happy to announce that their next game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, will be a Bloodborne inspired action-RPG with a focus on 'challenging but fair' difficulty and extensive customization.
Since there is no better way to showcase this type of game than through actual gameplay, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. Despite being early in development it already looks pretty darn awesome, so I'd definitely recommend you give it a look:
Cyberpunk 2077's in-engine trailer shows off the surprisingly colorful "dark future" of Night City

[Update #2]: CDPR has now released a cinematic trailer highlighting what happens when a job goes really bad.
[Update]: Cyberpunk 2077 now has an extremely lengthy gameplay preview!
Cyberpunk 2077 has been on a lot of people's minds ever since the original and quite amazing trailer. Very little information has arrived since then, something that has unfortunately continued to this very day, but you'll be glad to hear that CDPR has now finally released an in-engine trailer, and that it looks downright stellar!
You'll find the video right below, but don't get too excited about the visuals as they are likely to be less impressive when it comes to actual gameplay. That said, The Witcher 3 is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, so I highly doubt it's going to be much of a downgrade. With that little bit of warning out of the way, here's the new trailer:
Skullgirls devs are working on Indivisible - a highly colorful and action-packed RPG

- in Indie Games
Indivisible is an upcoming RPG/platformer hybrid from Lab Zero Games, the studio behind the rather excellent Skullgirls. As you might imagine from that brief description alone, Indivisible will send you on a world-spanning adventure filled with companions to meet, abilities to master, and enemies to pound into the dirt. That last part is perhaps the most important since Lab Zero Games announced that they will be taking all they've learned from Skullgirls to create a combat system with a great amount of depth and a variety.
If you're wondering how all of that might translate into gameplay, as well as what Indivisible's visuals are like, you'll find the recently posted E3 trailer right below. Have a look, it's a fairly short but sweet video:
