‘Dark Souls’ developer teases new Sony PS VR-exclusive ‘Deracine’

A new Sony PlayStation VR-exclusive title is coming from Dark Souls and Bloodborne creator and it doesn’t look like anything it’s done recently. From Software is calling it Deracine (which means uprooted in French) and it’s being described as an evolved adventure game or visual novel. Sony describes it as, “As a spirit summoned by a young girl in a secluded boarding school, the player must prove its existence and build a unique bond with the students through clever interactions. As the mystery of the story unfolds, the spirit must use its ability to manipulate the forces of life and time to change the fate of the pupils.” The game, which was teased at Sony’s E3 keynote, is set to come out this year.

Bethesda launches ‘Starfield,’ its newest franchise in 25 years

One of the latest news out of Bethesda is a new franchise. And it’s taken awhile for them to introduce a new one… it took 25 years, to be exact. Starfield is a single player game set in space. Not much else is known except it has a logo that reminds us a bit of Heroes the TV show. We should be hearing more about the game soon with Bethesda hyping it up.

Check out the gameplay reveal for ‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider’

Square Enix just unveiled at E3 2018 an extended gameplay preview of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. We find Lara making her way to the enemy camp in a lush jungle with her needing to become “one with the jungle” to take down her enemies, the global-domination-seeking Trinity. According to Daniel Chayer-Bisson, senior game director at Eidos-Montréal, there will be new elements such as grappling hooks, wall running, and even “full 360-degree swimming.” Shadow of the Tomb Raider is set to launch on the Sony PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 14, 2018.

‘Fallout 76’ is an online survival game set for November 14th release

Bethesda just announced more details about its latest entry into the Fallout franchise. Fallout 76 is going to be an online-based, open-world, survival game where every person you encounter in the game is an actual person. The game is scheduled to come out on November 14^th and instead of pulling hundreds or thousands of players, it’s going to pull in dozens—which makes sense since this is a post-apocalyptic game after all.

Serving as a prequel to the entire series, Fallout 76 takes place in West Virginia and follows survivors of the nuclear apocalypse as they exit bunker, Vault 76. You’ll be tasked to rebuild your town—and the entire country—after Reclamation Day in year 2076. You will be able to take over nuclear launch facilities to launch missiles against rival gangs or unknown territories. There are six distinct West Virginia regions in the game and a CAMP (Construction Assembly Mobile Platform) system is in place to make it easier to build shelters while on the go.
