HALO INFINITE
Halo Infinite is easily one of the most anticipated Xbox
Series X games on the horizon, and it promises to reboot the Halo franchise
from the ground up. The new Halo was supposed to be a launch title for
Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S consoles, but was delayed due to the Covid-19
pandemic and less than favorable feedback from fans after its gameplay
reveal. Halo Infinite is now scheduled
to arrive during "Holiday 2021", which falls between November and
early January, with a firm release date yet to be confirmed. Described as a
"spiritual reboot" by developer 343 Industries, Halo Infinite will
continue the series' ongoing story when it comes to Xbox One, PC (including
Steam), Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The game will also come to Xbox Game
Pass on day one and support ray-tracing, which will be added in a post-launch
patch. Microsoft has also promised Xbox Series X players will enjoy an
optimized version of the game, with "up to 4k resolution at 60fps in
campaign and greatly reduced load times creating seamless gameplay that ushers
in the next generation of gaming".
BACK 4 BLOOD
Back 4 Blood, Turtle Rock's spiritual successor to Left 4
Dead with plenty of innovations of its own, is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and
PC later this year. While it's since been delayed from its original June
release date window, Turtle Rock has since released a few different Back 4
Blood trailers to check out in the wait for its October release date, and we've
also got a ton of new info from E3 2021.
The new trailer for the co-op zombie shooter revealed during
the Xbox and Bethesda E3 showcase also announced new swamp and PvP modes. Those
who want to try out the spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead will be able to take
part in an open beta running from August 12th to 16th. Players who pre-order
the game will be get early access to the beta from August 5th to 9th.
FAR CRY 6
Ubisoft’s open-world, first-person, action-adventure shooter
returns this year, and it looks like it might be a doozy. It certainly helps
that the big baddy front and center this time around is none other than
Giancarlo Esposito – playing a rather colourful and disturbingly menacing
dictator. Despite Ubisoft not having a great track record when it comes to
introducing fresh ideas in sequels, Far Cry 6 does look exciting. From the
colourful, vibrant and diverse setting of the fictional city of Yara – as well
as some truly devastating and innovative weaponry the game looks fun. However,
fans are right to be slightly cautious when it comes to Ubisoft as they have been
burnt quite often in the past. Yet, Far Cry has steadily remained one of the
publisher’s most consistent franchises yet.
GAURDIANS OF GALAXY
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy was the highlight of the
Square Enix E3 2021 showcase. That’s right, Square Enix is taking another stab
at a Marvel property, after the lukewarm reception to Marvel’s Avengers. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is being
developed by Eidos Montreal, the team behind Deus Ex and most recently, Shadow
of the Tomb Raider. Much like its previous projects, Marvel's Guardians of the
Galaxy will be a single-player narrative-driven adventure, with a more linear
design. It will follow the story of Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora,
and Drax the Destroyer who make up the Guardians of the Galaxy. Since this game
is due out later this year, there’s quite a lot we know about it. We’ve
compiled a list of everything we know about Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel’s
Guardians of the Galaxy is due out on October 26, 2021, on PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox
Series X, and Xbox One. A Cloud Version will be available on Nintendo Switch.
It’s available to preorder right now. Those who preorder any version of the
game will gain early access to the Throwback Guardians Outfit Pack.
DYING LIGHT 2 STAY
HUMAN
Nobody was all that excited when Dying Light was initially
released – as it was wrongfully slotted in with the other zombie shooters of
its time. Yet somehow, the game, on the back of its sheer quality, found a core
audience which steadily grew in size – to the point where now the game can be
considered a cult hit, by every measure. Which is why Dying Light 2 is easily
one of 2021’s most highly anticipated releases. The game’s impressive day-night
cycle paired with a rather fun parkour traversal system makes for a
zombie-shooter experience unlike any other the industry has to offer. Dying
Light 2 looks pretty impressive even with how little is known about the game.
But fans expect its release to be a major event as it is going to be cause for
celebrations within the community who never thought they’d ever see a sequel.
