<p>Curve Studios has just announced the release date for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/just-die-already" title="Just Die Already on PC">Just Die Already</a> (JDA) on May 20 with an all-new trailer. Watch this:</p>

</div>

<div class="direct-quote">Just Die Already takes place in the near future at a time where population growth has stalled to zero, presumably because having to wear a mask at all times somewhat hinders any amorous encounters. As a result, nobody is being born, nobody is paying into the pension pot, and nobody is covering your living costs.</div>

<div class="direct-quote">To make things worse, you’ve just been kicked out of your retirement home, and your only option now is to perform dangerous challenges to qualify for free care.</div>

<p>An announcement trailer was already released last March which focused on the reactions of a few streamers to the chaos of the game. In this new trailer, we get to see the antics of the wacky, violent, and very old senior citizens up close.</p>

<p>Just Die Already has players take control of seniors and find the most creative ways to kill them. On top of that, it’s also a physics-based game. From getting hit by a bus or exploding from high blood pressure. On top of that, it’s also a physics-based game. Expect to play around with that when you’re pitting your team of retirees against another.</p>

<p>The game will be available for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/just-die-already" title="Just Die Already on PS4">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/just-die-already" title="Just Die Already on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/just-die-already" title="Just Die Already on Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>, and PC (via Epic Games Store and Steam). Cross-play will be allowed between platforms.</p>

<p>For more information, you can visit the official Curve-Digital page here. The protagonist of the game, 94-year-old Frank, also has his own Twitter account that’s full of rants about getting old and how the younger generation is ruining society.</p>

<p>Just Die Already will launch on May 20 for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

</div>

<div class="direct-quote">Prepare to manage scarce resources and maintain your base to survive in a relentless world. Filled with factions, hostiles and environmental threats, the wasteland will challenge all those who seek shelter.</div>

<p>While the original Sheltered had a more retro, pixelated aesthetic, Sheltered 2 gets a cosmetic upgrade.</p>

<p>The mechanics of the game also introduces some changes. You don't just have to keep their families in the bunkers alive. You will also have to deal with all the other threats from the outside world other humans who are just trying to survive the apocalypse, most especially.</p>

<p>As for new features, you will have access to the Factions system. This will allow you to forge relationships with multiple groups. Whether you cooperate with or steal from them is your choice entirely. There is also a new Permadeath element to the game, meaning that if a chosen leader had died, then the game would be over.</p>

<p>With the first Sheltered earning stellar reviews, Team17 and Unicube aim to "build upon the solid foundation of the first game." Let’s hope that players and critics will agree once Sheltered 2 finally comes out.</p>

<p>Sheltered 2 still has no official release date, but is set to be available for PC later this year. While you wait, you can wishlist the game on Steam. The original Sheltered is playable on PC, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/sheltered" title="Sheltered on PS4">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/sheltered" title="Sheltered on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/sheltered" title="Sheltered on Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/sheltered" title="Sheltered on Android">Android</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/sheltered" title="Sheltered on iOS">iOS</a>.</p>

10 PS5 Games Releasing in May 2021

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/vertigo-games" title="Vertigo Games">Vertigo Games</a> had managed to wow audiences with their release of the VR shooter <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/arizona-sunshine" title="Arizona Sunshine on PS4">Arizona Sunshine</a> back in 2017. Now they’re back with their latest title, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/after-the-fall" title="After the Fall on PS4">After the Fall</a>.</p>

<p>Here the first look at the gameplay:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="718" height="384" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KUazDHhoswY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>The official description reads:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">After the Fall, the 4-player <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/psvr" title="Best PS4 PSVR Games">VR</a> <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/coop" title="Best PS4 Coop Games">co-op</a> <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/action" title="Best PS4 Acrion Games">action</a> <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/first-person-shooter" title="Best PS4 First Person Shooter Games">FPS</a> will pit you and your friends against a hostile, post-apocalyptic VR world in a raging fight for survival. Get a first look at the intense co-op action that is waiting for you and your friends in VR this Summer!</div>

<p>While Arizona may have taken place in a brighter, warmer setting, After the Fall takes place somewhere darker and colder. It’s said that the setting takes place in an alternate 1980s. (John Carpenter’s The Thing already comes to mind.) Zombies here are still zombies (or rather Snowbreed). But, it looks like players will get access to a more unique arsenal of weapons.</p>

<p>The game is already available to wishlist on your preferred platform. However, players who are already interested in After the Fall can also register for an upcoming closed beta phase. You can sign up for that right <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&ajax=1&u=http://afterthefall-vr.com">here</a>.</p>

<p>For more info on After the Fall, you can check Vertigo Games’ <a href="https://vertigo-games.com/games/after-the-fall/">official site</a>.</p>

<p>No official release date has been set for After the Fall, but the game is expected to come out this summer for the PSVR, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/after-the-fall" title="After the Fall on PC">Oculus Quest</a>, Oculus Rift S, Steam VR, and Viveport.

The game was a critical hit and had even earned a BAFTA nomination for Game Beyond Entertainment; now, it’s set to come out on consoles later this month.</p>

<p>As per the official announcement, Before I Forget is coming to the Nintendo Switch, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/before-i-forget" title="Before I Forget on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, and Xbox Series X|S on April 29. Here’s the reveal:</p>

</div>

<p>The story of Before I Forget follows that of Sunita, a woman with early onset Alzheimer’s. The first-person game will have players (or rather Sunita) walking around, interacting with objects and unravelling Sunita’s past. As you explore, you ‘piece together the remnants of a life well-lived'.</p>

<p>With <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-last-of-us-2" title="The Last of Us Part II on PS4">The Last of Us Part II</a> pushing the boundaries of video games when it comes to empathy and immersion, Before I Forget has been praised for its ability to bring the actual experience of dementia to light.</p>

<p>3-Fold Games co-founders Chella Ramanan and Clarie Morwood explain:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">"We are both interested in exploring the possibilities of what games can be, what stories they tell and how they tell them. Before I Forget is a niche, narrative game about an older, Indian woman with dementia, so to share space with amazing AAA experiences means players we may not normally reach can enjoy a moment with Sunita."</div>

<p>The game will run for €7,99 | £6,99 | $7,99 with pre-orders now available. No details have been dropped if the game is coming to PlayStation, but hopefully that option will come soon.</p>

<p>Though fans were waiting on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/blizzard" title="Blizzard Entertainment">Blizzard’s</a> next update on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/overwatch-2" title="Overwatch 2 on PC">Overwatch 2</a>, they were shocked to find that Jeff Kaplan is leaving the project.</p>

<p>As per the official <a href="https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23665015/">Overwatch site</a>, “Papa Jeff” writes:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">i am leaving Blizzard Entertainment after 19 amazing years.</div>

<div class="direct-quote">it was truly the honor of a lifetime to have the opportunity to create worlds and heroes for such a passionate audience. i want to express my deep appreciation to everyone at blizzard who supported our games, our game teams and our players. but i want to say a special thanks to the wonderful game developers that shared in the journey of creation with me. </div>

<div class="direct-quote">gg,</div>

<div class="direct-quote">jeffrey Kaplan</div>

<p>Jeff Kaplan has been the face of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/overwatch" title="Overwatch on PC">Overwatch</a>, and has been celebrated for breathing new life into the hero-shooter genre. After Kaplan’s exit, fellow Blizzard vet Aaron Keller will be stepping in as the new game director. Keller is one of the original members of the Overwatch team. He's been working side-by-side with Kaplan for a while, even helping build World of Warcraft. Keller writes:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Jeff’s been a great leader, mentor, and friend, and he knows how much we’re going to miss him. I’ve been lucky to work alongside him and the rest of the Overwatch team for many years in building something that continues to inspire people all around the world, and I’m honored to carry the torch forward.</div>

<p>This may all look good on the surface. But, it leaves fans guessing what happened that would make Kaplan leave. While some speculate that he's been offered a job at a different studio, others are suspecting some kind of foul play.</p>
