There is definitely some influence from Lovecraft, too.

It’s a dark, rainy night as you enter a mansion. This is the legend of a united overworld. And friendships that change the world forever. But the legends we hold dearest are legends of hope, of creativity, and of bravery. Some tell of danger and the end of all things. Some legends tell of peace and the beauty of simplicity. They are the dreams we weave into our shared story. Holy cow, Mojang is actually making a new game. The free add-on (Halo) is available today.Īra: History Untold is a turn-based, historical grand strategy game developed by “many of the leads behind one of the most popular strategy games of all time.” Any guesses? Build a nation and lead it through global history while exploring, developing culture, conducting diplomacy, and go head-to-head with rivals. Also coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator: Halo.

This update celebrates the franchise’s 40th anniversary. There’s also generally just new aircraft, like helicopters and gliders. Go back in time in Flight Simulator! Airplanes, biplanes… they’re coming. Redfall is a four-player co-op game (think Left 4 Dead with vampires instead of zombies) but can also be played alone. The vampires completely cut the town off from the outside world. Soon, everyone was dead, part of a cult and wanting to be a vampire, or already a vampire. People in town start vanishing, and those that don’t sold out. Great idea: let’s investigate it alone! And guess what: it’s filled with vampires.

There’s blood, and the pastor’s gone missing. Rumour has it, something’s off at the church. All games will be released for PC and Xbox, and some for cloud gaming. This showcase focuses on games launching during the next twelve months. As always, I’m looking for the hidden gems and the games that do something innovative… or just games that are cute, because cute games are often happy games. Fingers crossed that shows up so we aren’t drowning in space shooters, which seems to be all the rage for this year’s big titles. It’s time for one of the bigger (by that I just mean more popular, not necessarily “best”) showcases of the week! Expect some big blockbusters to show up here, including previously-announced games as well as brand new ones.
