Developed and published by Supergiant games. Hades is a unique roguelike action dungeon crawler released in 2020 on PC, coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One this summer. Drop into the depths of Tartarus as the prince of the underworld, Zagreus. With your mythical powers and arsenal of ungodly weapons, fight your way through the toughest foes hell has to offer. All to escape the clutches of your father, Hades.

Hell has never looked this good. Beautiful splashes of color cover the map throughout exploration and during combat. For what the game lacks in cut-scenes, it makes up for with witty dialogue and a cast bursting with character and charm.

Build relationships and interact with the other gods of Olympus. Encounters feel memorable as characters respond to your experiences and challenges in different ways each time you die.

Be prepared to die and resurrect back home repeatedly as the forces of Hades are not to be taken lightly. Stronger enemies remember your tactics and adapt and so should you.

Scarlet Nexus is an upcoming JRPG developed by the talent behind Tales of Vesperia and published by Bandai Namco. Players assume the role of Yuito Sumeragi, a new recruit to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), which is humanity’s last line of defense against deranged mutants known as Others.

Yuito himself possesses the power of psycho-kinesis that enables him to lift or break anything in his vicinity and hurl it at the enemy.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a highly anticipated upcoming Action RPG spin-off title from the Pokémon Franchise. The game will be released on January 28th, 2022, on the Nintendo Switch. The game is being developed by Game Freak, who are the developers of all the Pokémon Games dating back to Pokémon: Red and Blue released in 1996.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes place in the Sinnoh Region but also will feature Pokémon from the newer games as well. The game takes place before Pokémon Diamond and Pearl canonically and there no Pokémon Leagues in this game, so it will be interesting to see how the story of this game adds to entire franchise as a whole. The game will allow catching Pokémon by just throwing Pokéballs without needing to battle all Pokémon, a style that was made popular by the mobile game Pokémon Go and the Switch titles- Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! And Let’s Go
Eevee!

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is a direct sequel to Troika’s acclaimed but troubled 2004 title. Published by Paradox Interactive, who acquired White Wolf and thus the rights to Bloodlines in 2015, the game places the player into the role of a recently-turned fledgling vampire who finds themselves in the middle of a blood trade war in modern-day Seattle.

The Bloodlines‘ lead designer and writer Brian Mitsoda has worked as lead narrative designer of the sequel. The game promises the same open-ended play and freedom of choice as the original, from the way the protagonist uses (or abuses) their newfound vampiric powers, to which of the city’s factions they curry favor with.
