One can only hope this means less game crashes and more sessions that are actually joinable.

This week’s launch of Hitman 3 isn’t just another buffet of madcap murder made to look like the unlikeliest of accidents. It’s the final chapter in a long saga, one that developer IO Interactive has been crafting over several years to create the ultimate world of assassination. Thanks to the previous two games being designed with a modular gameplay approach in mind, anyone who has been invested in the Hitman series since its soft reboot is going to have a hell of a lot of content to play through.

By now, everyone’s familiar with Cyberpunk 2077’s less than ideal launch. Announced in 2012 and given the fancy cinematic trailer reveal a year later, Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t exactly look or feel like a game that spent eight years in development. According to a new report by Bloomberg, that’s because development didn’t kick off properly until 2016.

The Pearl and Diamond remakes will also be a more traditional Pokémon game with capture mechanics more closely tied to the original games that the Pokémon Go-inspired systems present in the Let’s Go and Sword/Shield games that have appeared on the Nintendo Switch so far.

People Can Fly, the studio responsible for the brilliant life and tragic death of Waggleton P. Tallylicker in Bulletstorm, has a new game out in April by the name of Outriders. It looks like a lengthy RPG grind that has one heck of a power fantasy attached to it and I am so down for that.

With just about everyone loving the game as well, and Jin Sakai’s adventure ending on a tantalising hook (depending on which action you chose), Ghost of Two-shima is one sequel that I’d love to see made.

A love letter to the golden age of beat ‘em ups that Nintendo and Sega ruled, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition isn’t without its flaws and it has an entry curve more punishing than starting a band during your midlife crisis, but its still a terrific jump back in time that breathes new life into a cult classic.

Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t exactly have a smooth console launch last year. PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game were an unplayable mess at best, riddled with bugs, and saddled with glitches that also infected the game on new-gen consoles. There’s a lot of work to be done at getting Cyberpunk 2077 up to snuff, that developer CD Projekt Red talked about last night.
