Project River is an upcoming game for mobile that has just been announced. From what we've seen so far, it has lots of potentials.]]>

Sigono, the same studio behind The Day We Found Earth and OPUS: Rocket of Whispers, has announced its next project. Not a lot of details are available at the moment but it is currently codenamed Project River. A teaser has been revealed as well, which you can check out right below:

Sigono’s games have a tradition of being story-focused, aiming to deliver emotional and memorable moments, so we can expect this upcoming title to be the same. Its narrative revolves around a star system called the Thousands Valley, which has been ravaged by a war over its valuable sources of energy – or “dragon veins” as they are dubbed.

Even though the area is desolated at this point, legends still put it that ancient treasures can be found buried deep down somewhere. This prompts many intrepid adventurers to venture here to see if fortune will smile upon them. That’s basically all we know so far.

Project River
The teaser gives us a glimpse at the character designs

The teaser does give us a glimpse at what to expect in terms of character designs and general aesthetics. If you've played any of Sigono's past works, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that everything looks super lovely.

If you haven’t, then we highly recommend that you do. OPUS: Rocket of Whispers, for instance, is a touching adventure with a lot of depth that’s available right now on both Google Play and the App Store for free. Don’t hesitate to take it out for a spin while waiting for Project River.

Project River Ios Android Featured
The game is looking very promising from what we have seen

From what’s been revealed, Project River is still in its early development stages, so we probably won’t be hearing about a release date anytime soon. There’s no information on which platforms it’ll be available on either, but given that all of Sigono’s previous games have been for both Android and iOS, we have reasons to expect that this one will be as well.

<![CDATA[Hero Emblem 2: Long-Awaited Mobile RPG Gets A New Trailer]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/hero-emblem-2-long-awaited-mobile-rpg-gets-a-new-trailer-8683 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 03:06:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/hero-emblem-2-long-awaited-mobile-rpg-gets-a-new-trailer-8683
Hero Emblem 2, the sequel to the excellent match-3 mobile RPG Hero Emblem, has just got a new trailer. Unfortunately, no release date is announced.]]>

It has been 5 years since the original Hero Emblems took the App Store by storm back in January 2015, but what’s even more perplexing is that a sequel was announced only a year after that – which was FOUR whole years ago. Unfortunately, it is still nowhere to be seen even to this day.

To its credit, developer HeatPot Games still pops up every now and then to keep us updated on how Hero Emblems 2 is going or at least assure us that the project has not been dropped. We received a gameplay trailer in late 2017, then in February of the following year another video was revealed showcasing the shop interface, and finally, in January last year we got a glimpse at a boss fight and some cutscenes via another footage.

Since then, however, things have been really quiet – that is, until the past weekend when HeatPot emerged again to give another new video regarding Hero Emblems 2. You can check out this new video right below:

Unfortunately, according to the developer, the game is still not ready yet. But while that’s admittedly a bit disappointing, we are still happy to know that the making of Hero Emblems 2 is still going strong. Given how great the first game was, we are willing to wait for a worthy sequel – no matter how long that might take.

Hero Emblems
There is still no word on the release date of Hero Emblem 2 just yet, but we highly recommend the first game

If you have not heard of Hero Emblem, it was a premium match-3 RPG for mobile, which is not something you see very often. Rather than being a typical match-3 game with some RPG mechanics slapped on top, it felt more like a fully-fledged RPG and is still an absolutely outstanding game after all this time. If you have yet to give it a try, we highly recommend that you do right now while waiting for the sequel. And of course, we will be sure to keep you updated as soon as there is any new information from the developer, so don’t forget to stay tuned!

<![CDATA[Genshin Impact: New Open-World RPG Now Looking For Beta Testers]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/genshin-impact-new-open-world-rpg-now-looking-for-beta-testers-8658 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 10:03:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/genshin-impact-new-open-world-rpg-now-looking-for-beta-testers-8658
Genshin Impact, an upcoming open-world RPG inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is now accepting applications for a beta test.]]>

Genshin Impact is an open-world RPG in the making that has been caught in the center of a lot of controversies ever since its announcement last year. Many people criticize it for its striking resemblance to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while many think it looks promising for the exact same reason. In any case, the developer announced earlier this week that a Switch version is on the way, but we are mostly interested in seeing how this ambitious game will perform on Android and iOS.

Luckily, a selected few now have the chance to try the game hands-on time by applying for its closed beta. This beta will focus on an area called the Liyue Harbor and will allow players to “unveil the secrets of this gorgeous city". It is expected to kick off sometime in the first quarter of this year.

There has been another closed beta before, which took place in Mondstadt, the "City of Wind". Liyue Harbor will introduce you to several new characters and adventures, so even if you were already involved in the first beta, it’s probably worth applying for this one as well.

The upcoming beta promises several new characters and adventures

For those who don’t know, Genshin Impact is an open-world RPG taking place in a fantasy kingdom called Teyvat. It's reportedly a narrative-driven experience in which combat revolves around creating elemental combo. Needless to say, the game also features tons of impressive environments to explore.

As mentioned, Genshin Impact attracted a lot of attention from the media for the fact that it obviously takes several ideas from Breath of the Wild, from enemy designs to cooking mechanics to the stamina system and more. Still, it sets itself apart from its inspiration with how things are presented, going for a more anime-like aesthetic.

The game draws a lot of inspirations from Breath of the Wild

If you are interested in participating in the closed beta, you can head over to the official Genshin Impact website to apply. It seems the beta will take place across both PC and mobile. As for when the game will launch, no information is confirmed yet, but it was originally planned to come out this year.

<![CDATA[Ninja Theory Latest Game Bleeding Edge Enter Alpha Test Phase, You Can Register Now]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/ninja-theory-latest-game-bleeding-edge-enter-alpha-test-phase-you-can-register-now-7291 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 08:57:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/ninja-theory-latest-game-bleeding-edge-enter-alpha-test-phase-you-can-register-now-7291
The alpha test will start tomorrow evening, so you should register quickly if you want to try this game out.]]>

Ninja Theory Studio's upcoming game, Bleeding Edge, is still a long way until getting ready to be released. However, if you want to, you can give this new multiplayer action game a try when registering for its alpha test, starting from tomorrow, October 24th.

According to the developers at Ninja Theory, the new Bleeding Edge game is a mix between the gameplay of third-person action games and the strategic aspect of many competitive esport games that we now are familiar with. The result of this combination is - by the words from the devs - the one-of-a-kind experience that we never have seen before.

Bleeding Edge Alpha Release Date 4v4 Multiplayer C
The game's concept art

Set in a futuristic cyberpunk world, the core gameplay of Bleeding Edge rewards cooperative playstyle - because you can not win on your own in those kinds of games. The playable fighters can be customized to further fit with each players' playstyle, as well as to be more suitable in the teamplay aspect. From what revealed just far, my guess is that this game's playable characters are not anchored in any pre-designed role like attackers or supports, instead, the choice of which role on the team will be determined by the player's playstyle.

A feature that is promised to be available when the game is released, is the training 'Dojo' mode - where players can test out character's control, builds, and skills against AI. This feature is accessible while you're offline, as well as when you are finding matches.

Bleeding Edge Release Date
A screenshot from the trailer

Along with that, the developers also announced the alpha test version of the game, being released tomorrow, October 24th. If you want to be a part of it, you can head to the game's official website to register for the alpha test.

Bleeding Edge is the first project of Ninja Theory after the acquisition of the studio by Microsoft, so this should come as no surprise when the game is available both on PC and Xbox One. Also, the cross-play and cross-save function between the PC and Xbox version is also included, so you can keep your progress on whatever device you're playing on.

The game will be available next year, on PC and Xbox One.

<![CDATA[A Knight's Quest Got Official Release Date In The Next Week]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/a-knights-quest-got-official-release-date-in-the-next-week-6855 Sun, 06 Oct 2019 10:29:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/a-knights-quest-got-official-release-date-in-the-next-week-6855
A Knight’s Quest is a breathtaking, fresh and funny title which is the modern take of classic adventure games.]]>

From Sky 9 Games and Curve Digital, we have the upcoming adventure title of A Knight's Quest. In this title, you will play as our hero Rusty. You will join him in his workday. His work includes using a sword to thrust and dispatch the enemies, rail-grinding through the magnificent land space, avoiding traps, and of course, solving puzzles.

Here we have some gameplay footage of the title:

Adventure with Rusty

Rusty is a bit daft, yet debonair and daring. He is a clumsy adventurer who just accidentally initiates the events which could destroy the world. To repair this massive mistake, he must conquer powerful enemies, solve difficult puzzles, defeat strong bosses. He must adventure through this gorgeous open world.

With just a button, he could gather the fantastic powers of Time, Ice, and Fire.

Our Rusty begins the adventure with just his basic shield and a small sword. However, soon enough, we will able to unlock the ‘Spirit Powers’ - this gives Rusty the ability to transform himself and the world. With just a button, he could gather the fantastic powers of Time, Ice, and Fire to destructive effect. Then he can use those powers to conquer the enemies or solve difficult challenges.

On his journey, Rusty will encounter many memorable characters.

The storyline starts in the Regalia kingdom. However, his adventure will take rusty to the  Zameris desert town, climb up to the icy Peaky Peaks, or into the dark Cursed Swamp, with many more. On his journey, Rusty will encounter many memorable characters who bring more spices to the adventure.

It is a new take on the classic adventure genre

Even with 30-hours of game time, the title just never feels boring me. Nowadays, many adventure titles offer various kinds of extra systems - which could blur off the main essence of the genre. However, this title stays simple and pure. The combat is fluid and fast. Plus, the platforming is just like a dream, with the acrobatic moves of Rusty.

A Knights Quest Got Official Release Date In The N
It will come together with a price tag of $24.99/ €24.99/ £19.99.

The title will come to PC via Epic Games, PS4 and Nintendo Switch on October 10, and on the 11th for Xbox One. It will come together with a price tag of $24.99/ €24.99/ £19.99.

Via Twitter, Square Enix has answered some questions about an English release for its upcoming mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.]]>

We originally reported on Octopath Traveler Tairiku no Hasha (English translation: of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent) when it was first revealed by Square Enix back in March. This is a new mobile RPG that acts as a prequel to the highly acclaimed PC/Switch JRPG Octopath Traveler, and now, Square has just revealed more information about it in a Twitter post.

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent Japanese Trailer

While the tweet is in Japanese, there was an English translation included at the end for the global audience. Basically, the studio explained that the reason it decided to make this mobile game was to bring the world of Octopath Traveler to more players. However, the team was mainly focusing on the Japanese domestic version at the moment. “About other development plans, please wait for further information,” the message concluded.

To sum up, the developer is currently working on finishing the game and launching it in Japan first, and an announcement of an English version should come at a later date.

From the same tweet, we also learned that the main campaign Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will last a whopping 60 hours, with more content promised to come “regularly” in future updates. Furthermore, while microtransactions will be included, Square Enix has claimed that this will be an actual, “normal” JRPG.

The gameplay will have some deviations from the original game too. For example, battles will now feature 8 characters instead of 4, and there will be 3 distinct stories at the beginning.

This first-person action game is similar to playing Mirror's Edge, but with a katana.]]>

During the recent Gamescom, members of the gaming community had the chance to hear about Ghostrunner.

Ghostrunner is a new cyberpunk video game from the publisher of the upcoming Space Cows and Metamorphosis - All In Games. This first-person slasher is actually the newest project of One More Level, the same developer as God’s Trigger and Deadlings.

The game is set in a future world future where there has just been a global cataclysm. The Keymaster is ruling this world and making it really harsh.

The resources in this world are running out. Furthermore, the global cataclysm swept away most of the world’s population and ripped through the natural environment. Therefore, The rest of the world’s population has had to turn into a war-torn tower. The whole world depends on you - a cyber-warrior - to get to the tower's top to fix what has been broken.

You are the only one who can fix this world

In this world, your value depends strongly on the category of implants you own. These implants, which you get from your childhood, will define your whole life. The implants will determine your social group. Therefore, If you didn’t have enough luck to have a good life, there would be hardly anything you can do.

The game has just got a new trailer on YouTube too. In a press release, the developer calls Ghostrunner as “an action [first-person perspective] video game”. It says that you will be a cyber-warrior that is "capable of fighting both in the physical world and in cyberspace".

Following the massive success of the management sim BTS World, Netmarble has confirmed that it is working on another game featuring this popular K-Pop band.]]>

Back in early June, we reported that Netmarble and Big Hit Entertainment were teaming up to make BTS World, a management sim for mobile in which you become the manager of the super popular K-Pop band BTS. The game was released later that month and immediately became a massive success, becoming the most downloaded app on the App Store in 25 countries just within 24 hours. Now, it seems the two companies are joining forces once again to make yet another game about the BTS boys.

Bts World Promotional Image
BTS World is a management sim featuring the super popular K-Pop band BTS

Details about this upcoming game are scant at the moment – we haven’t even got an official title for it – but we do know that the development process is helmed by Netmarble Monster. A trailer for it is also available, you can check it out right below:

If you missed it, BTS World is essentially a pretty straightforward interactive visual novel. At first glance, we thought it was just pure fan service, but the game actually offers a lot of interesting alternate reality stories to explore. We had a pretty good time with it, and judging from the trailer above, the next game is going to push the over-the-top-ness to a whole new level.

It seems that there’s some kind of intense riot going on, and instead of being talented singers, our BTS boys will become superheroes instead. The entire thing is just so hilariously dramatic. Whatever this game turns out to be, we are totally on board, for the level of quirky brilliance that the trailer emanates if nothing else.

It seems there's some kind of intense riot going on in the trailer

A press release earlier today also confirmed that the new game will belong to a completely different genre compared to BTS World, and it’ll put a heavier focus on ‘lush, emotion-filled art’. No further information is available at the moment, but we will be sure to keep you updated. While waiting for it, though, why not give BTS World a try if you haven’t already? It is up for grab on both Google Play and the App Store right now.

Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery is an upcoming tactical RPG that is set to come to PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile in the future.]]>

With the increasing popularity of mobile games over the past couple of years, it has been quite interesting to see various free titles rise and fall. Girls’ Frontiline was one of the games that we had the pleasure of trying quite a while ago and we were pretty impressed with its gameplay and music back then. Now, developer MICAteam, which is a subsidiary of Sunborn Games Technology and the studio responsible for Girls’ Frontline, has announced that it is teaming up with publisher X.D Network to make a new tactical RPG titled Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery for PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Check out the trailer for this game below:

Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery is actually a remake version of Code Name: Bakery Girl. A tie-in to Girls’ Frontline that was originally launched back in 2013. It offers improved visuals, brand new voice acting, levels, and an expanded story. In term of gameplay, it is a tactical turn-based RPG with a futuristic setting when the world has been ravaged by a second Cold War. 2 factions are now at war for technology. You become Jefuty, an individual who is just simply trying to survive in this chaotic environment. One thing worth noting is that, unlike Girls’ Frontline which is available for free, this upcoming release will be premium.

We do know for sure that it will come to the Wes, though.

<![CDATA[Murder/Mystery Game "The Black Widow" Coming Next Week]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/murdermystery-game-the-black-widow-coming-next-week-5087 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 06:40:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/murdermystery-game-the-black-widow-coming-next-week-5087
The Black Widow is an interactive murder/mystery game in which you contact a convicted murderer after her death, hear her story, and judge for yourself if she was indeed guilty or not.]]>

Now, before you get too excited about the name “The Black Widow”, let’s get this out of the way right away: It has absolutely nothing to do with Marvel or our beloved agent Natasha Romanoff – may her soul rest in peace. Instead, this is an upcoming interactive murder mystery game based on the story of a real-life convicted murderer named Louisa Collins.

Blackwidow
A mystery game based on a true story

Louisa and her husband Charles Andrews lived in poverty back in the late 19th centuring, having to raise 7 children. As a result, they took in lodgers to their home in order to get by. Among those lodgers was Michael Collins, one of Charles’ co-workers, and during Michael’s stay he ended up having an affair with Louisa. Charles then discovered this, and so Michael was kicked out.

Just a few months after the incident, however, Charles died under mysterious circumstances, and his wife remarried Michael Collins. Things do not end there, as Michael also began to get sick and ultimately died, suffering from almost exactly the same symptoms as Charles. Louisa was then put to trial four separate times to answer for these crimes, with the first three not being able to come to a verdict and the final one finally convicting her and sentencing her to death.

The case of Louisa is an incredibly controversial one. Some think she was indeed the murderer, while others believe she was falsely accused. Now, in The Black Widow, you must contact Louisa Collins in the afterlife via an Ouija board and judge for yourself if she was the culprit behind those deaths.

Is she really the culprit? Judge for yourself

Black Widow the game included actual court records and other documents from back then, as well as many other historical sources to present an unbiased view of the case. This allows you to make your own conclusion. If you are a fan of murders and mysteries, The Black Widow is a game you might want to check out. It is hitting Android and iOS next week on August 1, so you’ll be able to grab it then for just $1.99 (Rs 140).

<![CDATA['The Addams Family Mystery Mansion' Is A New Mobile Game Based On The Popular Movie 'The Addams Family', Coming Soon]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/the-addams-family-mystery-mansion-is-a-new-mobile-game-based-on-the-popular-movie-the-addams-family-coming-soon-5056 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 09:57:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/the-addams-family-mystery-mansion-is-a-new-mobile-game-based-on-the-popular-movie-the-addams-family-coming-soon-5056
'The Addams Family Mystery Mansion' is an upcoming mobile game based on the popular 1991 movie 'The Addams Family'. It's probably coming in the near future.]]>

It looks like the trend these days is taking some popular animated films from the 1990s or early 2000s – the ones that many of us grew up with – and make live-action adaptations of them. But that works both ways too: Take the 1991 movie ‘The Addams Family’ as an example. It was super popular back in the days, and now it’s getting an animated reboot, which is set to hit theaters this fall.

But that’s not the main topic today. The thing is, another popular trend among game developers is making mobile game tie-ins of big movie releases, and that’s where the new mobile game The Addams Family Mystery Mansion comes in. Check out a teaser image below:

Addams Family

Sadly, not a lot of info about this upcoming game is available at the moment, aside from its name and some pictures.  According to its description, players will be tasked with helping the two main characters Gomez and Morticia Addams to re-furnish their house and reunite their family members. So, it seems we’ll have some tools to decorate the famous Addams Mansion to our likings.

The game also promises “an original story” as well as witty dialogue, which will be delivered through a series of chapters and missions. Naturally, as with any game based on a movie/TV show, players will be able to unlock various characters from the film.

The game also promises an original story

The Addams Family Mystery Mansion is a product of Pixowl, who is mostly known for its sandbox game The Sandbox. No official release date is confirmed at the moment, but considering that the movie is scheduled to arrive on the 11th of October, the game should be hitting Google Play and the App Store a few weeks before that, maybe at the end of September. We’ll be reporting more on this game when there is news, so stay tuned!

<![CDATA[Plants Vs. Zombies 3 Enters Open Pre-Alpha On Android]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/plants-vs-zombies-3-enters-open-pre-alpha-on-android-4829 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 10:15:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/plants-vs-zombies-3-enters-open-pre-alpha-on-android-4829
A pre-alpha version for Plants vs. Zombies 3 has just become available on the Play Store, which is aimed at collecting feedback from players.]]>

This news comes as somewhat of a surprise, but EA is apparently testing an open pre-alpha version for Plants vs. Zombies 3 for the Android platform. If you are interested in participating to see what EA has in store for the next installment to the Plants vs. Zombies series, just look for it on Google Play and download it to your phone.

Do note, however, that access to this Plants vs. Zombies 3 pre-alpha version is pretty limited, so don’t take too long or the available slots will all be taken by others.

Plants Vs Zombies 3
The game is still "under construction"

Not a lot of details about this upcoming game is available at the moment. Basically, all we have to work with right now is its description on the Play Store. EA has also noted that this is merely a temporary, unfinished product and thus is not a representative of the full game. The main purpose of this release is simply to obtain feedback from the players to further polish the combat system.

From what little information that’s available, it seems that Plants vs. Zombies 3 will follow the same formula as its predecessors. Playing in a portrait orientation, you’ll drag and drop various plants to defend your base from an attack of zombies, kind of like in a tower defense game. Some new upgrades for the plants appear to be present as well.

Plants Vs Zombies 3
The game will likely still follow the same formula as its predecessors

There is no word on the pricing model of the game at the moment either, but considering that it is an offering from EA, it’ll probably a free-to-play title with in-app purchases, which will likely be very expensive as well. Chances are, it’ll end up as just another predatory app designed to make players spend money. Yes, the company will surely put in tons of addictive to keep players interested, but don’t hold your breath for this one.

<![CDATA[Sable Is A Stunning Exploration Game Coming In 2020]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/sable-is-a-stunning-exploration-game-coming-in-2020-3591 Wed, 29 May 2019 09:31:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/sable-is-a-stunning-exploration-game-coming-in-2020-3591
Sable is a new combat-free exploration game inspired by Breath of the Wild. It is planned to launch next year.]]>

Sable is a gorgeous exploration game from developer Shedworks that has spent a couple of years in development. Now, according to a recent press release from the developer, it will be coming next year, although a specific date has not been confirmed at the moment.

Gregorious Kythreotis, a representative from Shedworks, revealed that the development process for the game began way back in 2017, and the team “started sharing the game very early on,” initially planning to release it in 2019. “The incredible reception we got meant that we very quickly got the backing of Raw Fury, and eventually Microsoft,” he added.

 
A quick look at the gameplay of Sable

Yet even though showing some early footages of Sable earned Shedworks the support it needed, the game still took way longer than anticipated to finish.

We initially thought the game would take us around 2 years to develop,” Kythreotis explained. “It was an extremely rough estimate and for us to fully realise the game we want to make, we now think we need a bit more time.”

The press release also shares that Sable’s development crew has expanded considerably compared to the beginning, when only 2 people worked on the game. The company has now recruited Meg Jayanth – whose previous credits include several notable titles such as 80 Days or Horizon Zero Dawn – to work on the narrative design, alongside many other staff members.

Sable1
"An unlikely companion to Breath of the Wild”

“This influx of amazingly talented and hardworking people on the project has been nothing short of incredible,” Kythreotis said, “and the value of having a team of creative and passionate people will be reflected in the outcome.”

Parts of Sable was actually showcased back at E3 2018, and the few people who got to try it then described it as “an unlikely companion to Breath of the Wild”. For more information, stay tuned.

Here is a summary of the 7 most expected games to be released this June.]]>

We are already almost halfway through 2019, and the year has witnessed some astonishing game releases as well as several disappointing ones. Take Anthem as an example, we expected a lot from it but the developers let us down by deciding to ignore the game entirely.

Despite some unsatisfying facts, games such as Resident Evil 2 Remake and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice really got us. More announcements are also coming as we expect to hear more details and news when E3 lands. In 2019, E3 is set to be held somewhere between 11th and 13th June, and a number of games should be released in this month as well.

Let’s take a look at some games about to be released this June:

Warhammer Chaosbane – June 4 – PC, PS4, Xbox One

Warhammer
The game features several classes for players to choose from

This game is an RPG which takes place in the universe of Warhammer. The beta of the game has already been released and played by lots of players and the full version of it is coming your way. Warhammer Chaosbane now has 4 different classes for players to choose, not to mention they can either play solo or co-op with up to 4 teammates.

The game allows you to play lots of battle, and there's a huge amount of replayability here. Moreover, you can now play offline when you are on a solo run.

Super Mario Maker 2 – June 21 – Nintendo Switch

Supermariomaker
In this game, you can build your own stage

This is a sequel to the 2015 Wii U/3DS game Super Mario Maker. Much as it brings back the iconic side-scroller gameplay of Mario, it also allows you to customize the stages as you wish.

Some items from the original Super Mario Maker are rumored to be returning, alongside some additions. This game includes local and online cooperative modes, and players can now build their own stages and later challenge their friends to beat them. What’s more, this game also includes a brand-new story mode.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled – June 21 – PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

Crashteamracing
The game offers plenty of cool features to set itself apart from the competition

The series of Crash Bandicoot is now releasing its latest kart racing game. This is a collaboration and a remake of a number of previous games such as Crash Tag Team Racing (2005), Crash Nitro Kart (2003) and Crash Team Racing (1999). Should you be a fan of this kind of game, it is worth trying this one. Even though it is also a kart racer, the game has plenty of cool features to set itself apart from other notable titles of the genre such as Sonic Racing or Mario Kart.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night – June 18 for PS4 and Xbox One – June 25 for Nintendo Switch

Bloodstained Ritual Of The Night
A Metroidvania experience

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is led by Koji Igarashi – the developer of the acclaimed Castlevania game series. As a result, it's not surprising that this Metroidvania game takes up a similar style. Throughout the game, you'll be able to collect crystals to power up your character as well as craft new weapons and armor to be better-equipped to take on the increasingly difficult levels.

Judgement – June 25 – PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

A spin-off of the Yakuza series

This is a spin-off game from the Yakuza series. The game is an open world that allows you to carry out different acts. In the story mode, players are expected to investigate and examine various details in order to accomplish the missions. Moreover, the combat system of the game is considerably polished.

The game has some similarities with Sleeping Dogs which was released earlier in 2012 and had the same features.

The Sinking City – June 27 – PC, PS4, Xbox One

Thesinkingcity
A game inspired by Lovecraft's works

The Sinking City is neither a sequel nor a reboot of anything, but if you are a fan of H.P Lovecraft's works, you might find the setting quite familiar.

The influence of Lovecraftian on this game is way more than anything you could have expected. The game takes place in an odd and unstable city named Oakdale, which was abandoned under water after the war of the almighty Gods. It is set in the timeline of 1920 where Lovecraft wrote his most well-known works. This game knows how to play with mystery crafts and will have you become a supernatural investigator.
