The absolute cheek of it all.

It all looks delightfully mad, and hell yeah I'm feeling it. Far Cry has always had an element of weirdness to its design, but the sixth chapter in the mainline series looks set to dial up the crazy to dangerously mad levels.

For its sixth major outing, Ubisoft’s Far Cry will be placing player agency at the heart of the experience, emphasising a feeling of freedom to explore its largest open world to date and license to experiment applied to all weapons and vehicles. There’s a man-eating crocodile assistant too, but we’ll get to that later.

The Olympics were off to a rotten non-start last year thanks to…you know. What's happening this year in the grandest sporting event of them all? Honestly I have no idea, but what I do know is that the digital equivalent of the Tokyo Olympic games just took a turn towards nightmare fuel. Mario is dead, and in his place is a much more terrifying version of Sonic, anthropomorphised to human form and ready to dominate all the competitions.

With Returnal out in the wild, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart almost here, Sony's next heavyweight first-party title is undoubtedly Horizon: Forbidden West. A sequel to the original title developed by Guerrilla Games, a glorious 14 new minutes of gameplay for Aloy's latest trip in the robot apocalypse was shared last night.

Zombies! Parkour! Techland's sequel to the original Dying Light has been in development for a long time, and after experiencing a few road bumps along the way such as a lead creative being accused of various acts of badness and that small global pandemic that you might have heard of, it's full undead steam ahead.

Virtua Fighter! …Yeah I got nothing, but Geoff's happy behind the scenes to hear that his favourite fighting game that has bargain bin Ryu on the front cover is making a comeback.

The dead are ready to rise once again. Dying Light 2 developer Techland has been teasing something for the last week, and has today announced that more info on the long-in-development game will be revealed in a Twitch stream on May 27 at 9PM CET.
