If there’s an elevator pitch for this game, then its Aliens meets Left 4 Dead with a healthy dollop of gung-ho action thrown into the mix.

Developer People Can Fly have gone about cherry-picking what it wants from the last decade of games, resulting in a project that mixes the dirty aesthetics of Gears of War with the power fantasy of Destiny. And hot damn, does it at least feel great.

This is the month of remasters and console games hitting PC, starting with the delightfully charming Maquette, carrying through to Crash Bandicoot 4 no longer being a timed exclusive, and ending Disco Elysium’s final cut of content. Between all that, we’ve got Tony Hawk landing a 4K kickflip, Tales from the Borderlands on Nintendo Switch, and even Google’s Stadia managed to lock a third-party game down. Not bad!

In absolutely unsurprising news news to start the week off with, E3 as a physical show won’t be happening this year for the second time.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

Destiny 2 has always been a game that you could set your clock to, but some big changes are on the way to Bungie’s sandbox. The first notable one? Annual expansions are no longer a thing, as Bungie is changing up the cadence for when those game-changing upgrades are released. This means that Destiny 2’s next expansion, The Witch Queen, will no longer arrive in 2021 and is now scheduled for release in “the early half of 2022.”

Is Cyberpunk 2077 still in a rough state currently, plagued by bugs and devoid of certain promised content? Absolutely. Will the game get better in time? Probably, as CD Projekt Red has been hunkering down to bring the ambitious dystopian sandbox up to speed in the wake of an infamous launch. Those updates will take time though, and in an ironic twist, even longer thanks to some real-life cyber punks hacking into CDPR’s servers and running off with valuable source code to the game.

It may have taken EA years to see the writing on the wall, but it’s official: Anthem is dead.
