January’s a bit of a dry month, but for the rest of the year? There’s some dang good content on the way. Arkane’s version of Groundhog Day, Ubisoft’s return to madcap acid trips with guns, and the twilight of the gods boy, are just some of the highlights on the horizon. So here’s a rundown, of what to expect this year.
Just relax guys, everything is just fine at Dying Light 2 studio Techland. Nothing to see here, move along now.
Featuring spooky arcade cabinets, creatures from the depths of Hell and even more zombies to slice and dice, Hellraid certainly looks like more of a good thing.
Dying Light, a video game that has not only survived half a decade but has thrived. Techland’s fantastic zombie sandbox took everything that was great about their previous effort Dead Island, fine-tuned the parkour and raised the stock price on toilet paper whenever the sun went down and the more dangerous Volatile crawled out from their UV light avoiding holes. With that prime number behind it, Techland is looking to celebrate one again with a fresh update, one that’ll introduce Darryn-mode to the game.
Dying Light is one of the best open world games in recent memory. That it’s set in n apolcalyptic world overrun with zombies – making good on the promises of games like Dead Island - is just icing on the cake. If you haven’t played Dying Light, you’re missing out. If you have, you’re probably waiting with bated breath for its impending sequel.
No matter your taste, there’s something for everyone with a calendar that is packed with quality. From full-scale zombie destruction to fantasy of a final remake flavour and that one other game that rhymes with Fiber Spunk 2077, the year ahead looks like one that will rock you like a hurricane.
Almost six years after it was first announced, and Dead Island 2 owner Koch Media wants you to know that it's still coming.
You think four years of post-launch downloadable content is an eye-watering number to wrap your gums around? Maybe! But before you can take a bite out of that much stuff what ain’t real just yet, you’re probably going to be very busy with Dying Light 2’s main course. Which is totes Leg O’ Larry by the way.
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
