State of Decay 2 looks depressing, challenging and set in a very sombre world. Sort of like a Walking Dead game then, except not soul-crushingly terrible and better left forgotten. Those fat zombies look like a nightmare to deal with then, and I’m keen to see how the sequel builds on the survival fort mechanics of the first game when it releases.

The biggest game on PC and the streaming community at the moment? Easily PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which has managed to turn its simplistic battleground of carnage and combat into a massive community of players who are always looking to murder you with a frying pan. It’s a PC exclusive, or at least it is for now. Because the first console that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will hit will be the Xbox One.

E3’s worst-kept secret is finally out: There’s a new Assassin’s Creed game on the way. And yes, it very much is set in ancient Egypt. That makes for a new chapter in the series that looks brighter and more radiant in action than recent entries, as Ubisoft showed off their new protagonist in action. Sneaking, killing are back, as is a new tale that’ll chart the story “the first to call themselves the Assassins.”

Metro 2033 and its sequel Metro: Last Light looked like a franchise that was done in two games. Not so fast yo. There’s a new game in the series on the way, called Metro: Exodus.

Forza Horizon 3 may have raised the bar impossibly high last year with its arcade-light approach to speed, but it’s a challenge that its older brother Forza Motorsport is looking to equal and better this year in Forza Motorsport 7. The latest chapter in the long-running racing car simulator is out later this year, and with a massive new partner lined up: Porsche.

The Xbox One X isn’t just a machine hungry for 4K gaming, but rather a device that will shape the future of the Xbox brand as Microsoft looks to jump beyond the usual console cycle that has defined the industry for generations. That’s the key takeaway here: Gaming beyond generations. Ahead of E3, Microsoft finally lifted the veil on their device. Here’s everything that was shown off, as well as a good look at the console itself.

It's got a campiagn that a new Star Wars story that bridges the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

We know nothing about it at all, but the new game from Bioware is called Anthem. Originally codenamed Dylan, the game seems to be taking on the games as a service ethos, and has a lot in common with Destiny.
