Kratos and Atreus will have to go to nine kingdoms in search of allies in the sequel to The Game Awards’ best game of 2018. After all, a bloody battle is about to start and Ragnarok will come, for which the Asgardian troops are preparing with as much effort as possible.
Parallel to this, the topic of fathers and children will develop deeper, as it did in the first part. Atreus will attempt to figure out what his real purpose is and what the prophecies say about him now that he is an adult. And Kratos will have to choose between forgetting about the past and becoming a true parent to Atreus, or worrying about the possibility of repeating old mistakes.
The game’s gameplay is currently unknown. In the first video, you can see several new features, like Atreus’ ability to summon mythical creatures and Kratos’ use of a grappling hook. Is it possible that the places will become more vertical than they were in the first part? You shouldn’t expect a technical breakthrough, considering that the game is also set to be released on PS4, but we’re hoping that the sequel’s gameplay will vary from its predecessor, not just in terms of new creatures.

The events of Dying Light 2 take place several years after the events of the original game: the planet has completely collapsed due to the virus’s breakout, and the survivors are at war with one another.

The creators have announced that finishing the game with all of the endings and secondary tasks might take up to 500 hours. However, later they clarified that 20 hours would be enough for the story campaign.

The usual sequel to the PS4 exclusive is Forbidden West. According to the gameplay videos, the backbone of the game will stay the same, but there will be several changes in the levels. The rest of the game will just become more beautiful and larger. However, the PlayStation’s committed audience does not require much else, as such games are now a rarity.
Aloy didn’t doze off and learned a few new tricks in the process. The huntress now has additional skills, and the combat system as a whole will expand, with full-fledged combinations on weapons, and so on. New equipment, such as a glider and an underwater swimming mask, will make it easier to move around.

The Witch Queen’s narrative has been compared to Titanfall 2, God of War, and even DOOM by the developers. It has very steep benchmarks that you should closely stick to. More innovations include the first melee weapon with a first-person camera, the ability to create equipment, and even exclusive swords that can only be collected.
Bungie also revealed a roadmap for the shooter’s future development. The storyline of the very first Destiny will end only after two more addons: Lightfall and Final Shape. The tale of the Destiny world, on the other hand, will naturally continue.

In 2003, the second part of Homeworld was released. The series was put to a stop for a long time until a prequel named Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak was released in 2016, written by Blackbird Interactive (founded by the same people who were involved in the numbered Homeworld). The team is now working on a fully developed third part.
The entire galaxy is once again in danger. The player will have to control the ships and fight with opponents, to which problems like space storms and asteroid fields are added from time to time. The gigantic abandoned ships of an old civilisation, which the creators refer to as “three-dimensional arenas for battles” where you may set up a trap and hide from persecution, are one of Homeworld 3’s innovations.

The sequel to Breath of the Wild still needs an official title, according to the developers, since it is a secret when its release is. But the authors claim that they had so many great ideas for Breath of the Wild expansions that making a full-fledged sequel was the most logical step.
Since Nintendo is very reluctant to share details and fans have to take apart the trailers to pieces on their own. Someone saw a similarity between the videos and older Zelda games, such as the newly re-released Skyward Sword. Someone is looking into the mysterious symbols on Link’s glove that allow him to control and reverse time.
Fans also saw a resemblance to Ocarina of Time, since Link has long hair and his face is hidden. Is it possible that the hero will have to travel back in time? Regardless, the sequel will be ambitious, as we will have to fly to the sky and explore locations in the clouds, in addition to the regular Hyrule.

The team of Daedalic Entertainment, which has been making 2D adventures for over a decade, has taken on a challenging project based on The Lord of the Rings. It will describe Gollum’s narrative in-depth, focusing on aspects of his existence that have never been depicted in films or books.
The game will be an action-adventure with a stealth feature. The fighter of the Gollum character is weak, so he’ll have to rely on agility and cunning to survive. However, certain opponents must be killed, which will require the use of a number of alternative ways.
As in the books, Gollum combines two personalities: a cunning monster and a prudent good guy. The nature of the character – and, most likely, the conclusion – will be determined by how you play and what decisions you make. As promised by the developers, the level design will be open, allowing each difficulty to be handled in a variety of ways, depending on the player’s preferences.

Racing simulators will never go out of style, but they can only attract a specific audience. You’re certainly aware of the legendary Gran Turismo series if you enjoy virtual auto racing and can differentiate one car model from another. The long-awaited seventh edition will arrive in the spring of 2022, and it appears that it will look especially good on the new generation of consoles. This is clearly reflected at least by the quality of the picture in the trailer. So, if you enjoy racing, get a wheel (to really engage yourself) and wait. You will undoubtedly like the game.

Scorn, an atmospheric horror film, has been developing since 2014, and there’s a chance it’ll be released this autumn. Players will be sent to a strange universe where they will be alone and must explore the globe, which is separated into regions that are related to one another.
Each part is a maze with several rooms, nooks and crannies. There are no cutscenes or screensavers in Scorn, and interaction with the world is as realistic as possible – for example, goods are not transferred to the inventory; instead, the character picks them up with his hands. It’s the same with pressing buttons and levers.
The player will get additional power and weapons, but Scorn will not become a shooter. Due to the limited number of rounds, you must always be on the alert; it is sometimes preferable to avoid combat and instead hide and seek behind shelters. Well, it wouldn’t be a game without guarantees that the player’s actions would have an impact on the environment around them – when the places are designed in the style of Hans Giger’s work, you can expect a lot of intriguing transformations.
